Ho, ho, ho — where's the snow? Winter officially arrives; is winter weather far behind? BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — When will winter kick in? With the arrival of the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere at 12:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time Dec. 22, the talk among snowsports enthusiasts and weather buffs is: With Christmas nearly here, where's the snow? Tom Hawley of the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine, believes the jury on the winter season's prospects is still out. “Because I don't see any big storms over the next 10 to 14 days, although there is a chance of light snow Friday, if I were a betting man, I would say we probably will see below normal snowfall for the season, with normal or slightly above normal temperatures for the season.” said Hawley Wednesday, a day that saw freezing rain and hazardous driving conditions. Local snowmakers until this week had been hampered by

U.S. asks journals to cut flu study facts

(NY Times) For the first time ever, a government advisory board is asking scientific journals not to publish details of biomedical experiments, for fear that the information could be used by terrorists to create deadly viruses. In the experiments, conducted in the United States and the Netherlands, scientists created a highly transmissible form of a deadly flu virus that does not normally spread from person to person. It was an ominous step, because easy transmission can lead the virus to spread all over the world. The work was done in ferrets, which are considered a good model for predicting what flu viruses will do in people. The virus, A(H5N1), causes bird flu, which rarely infects people but has an extraordinarily high death rate when it does. Since the virus was first detected in 1997, about 600 people have contracted it, and more than half have died. Scientists have watched the virus, worrying that if it developed the ability to spread easily from person to person, it could create one of the deadliest pandemics ever. A government advisory panel, the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity, overseen by the National Institutes of Health, has asked two journals, Science and Nature, to keep certain details out of reports that they intend to publish on the research.

Central bank loans ease Euro credit strain, for now

PARIS (NY Times) — After more than a year of frustrating and mostly fruitless summit meetings of European political leaders, the European Central Bank appears to have found a more promising way to ease the euro zone crisis: give money to banks at bargain-basement rates. The E.C.B., making an offer too good for Europe’s banks to refuse, reported Wednesday that it had doled out almost half a trillion euros in low-cost three-year loans to

keep credit flowing at a time when European banks are finding it all but impossible to finance their operations through normal market channels. The lending reduces the “risk of a Lehman-type situation, where banks go into the new year facing a wave of refinancing and are unable to access the market,” said Jacques Cailloux, the chief euro zone economist at Royal Bank of Scotland. But it is probably only a temporary solu-

tion. By acting essentially as a lender of last resort to the European financial system, the E.C.B. managed mainly to buy time for Europe to work out its longer-range problems of excessive debts, lagging economic competitiveness and limited fiscal unity. The E.C.B. allocated 489.2 billion euros, or $639 billion, to 523 institutions, well above the roughly 300 billion euros estimate of analysts polled by Reuters and Bloomberg News.

Syria reported to kill 100 Successor in North Korea on eve of visit by observers moves to consolidate power CAIRO (NY Times) — Syrian rights activists and opposition groups said on Wednesday that forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad had killed more than 100 defecting soldiers, civilians and antigovernment activists over the last three days in northwestern Syria. If confirmed, the killings would constitute one of the worst spasms of violence in the ninemonth-old uprising. Word of the killings, which the activists and opposition groups said had taken place near the city of Idlib near the Turkish border, was

reported a day before observers from the Arab League are to visit Syria for the first time to monitor pledges by Assad’s government to withdraw its troops from besieged areas. Some activists said Assad’s forces had intensified a campaign of deadly violence and intimidation partly because the impending arrival of Arab League monitors may prevent such action in coming days. “I fear the security forces may be trying to crush this thing before the monitors get in,” said Murhaf Jouejati, a member of the Syrian National Council, an opposition group.

SEOUL, South Korea (NY Times) — The leadership of North Korea moved swiftly on Wednesday to portray Kim Jong-un, thrust into the international spotlight after the death of his father, as the country’s unchallenged ruler. With the military’s allegiance a central question to the new leader’s success in consolidating power, North Korean television showed senior military leaders saluting the young Kim on Wednesday as he received mourners at the Kumsusan mausoleum, where his father lay in state inside a glass case for public viewing. State television repeatedly broadcast images of senior military leaders pledging their fealty to the son. In South Korea, the National Intelligence Service reported to the National Assembly that shortly after Kim’s death was announced on Monday, North Korean troops canceled their field training and returned to their barracks on high alert, according to lawmakers who attended the agency’s closeddoor briefing.

An icy, slow commute for Judge blasts Salem sex offender southern N.H. Wednesday BY JAMES A. KIMBLE THE UNION LEADER

BY PAT GROSSMITH THE UNION LEADER

WOODSTOCK — Both sides of Interstate 93 were reopened between exits 32 and 34 after several accidents Wednesday afternoon, but significant delays were still being reported. Three rollover accidents were reported on the southbound and northbound sides of the road. Freezing rain has caused numerous accident including a major collision involving three tractor-trailer trucks on the high-rise bridge between Maine and New Hampshire, Steven McCausland, spokesman for the Maine agency, said. While Portsmouth police said I-95 was shut down at one point, New Hampshire state officials with the Traffic Management Center said that did not happen. McCausland said it is immaterial if New Hampshire shut down the highway or if accidents caused traffic to come to a standstill, at least to the motorist stranded on the highway. “It’s going to be several hours before traffic returns to normal,” McCausland said at 11:30 a.m. Nicholas King, NH TMC operator, said earlier in the morning that traffic is jammed because of prior crashes on I-95 - which have since been cleared and “residual traffic” clogged the road. No state highway was shut down today, he said, although traffic was

backed up at various points, including near the I-93 tollbooths in Hooksett and at the Maine border. Portsmouth Police Lt. Mark Newport, however, said in about a two hour span, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., up to 50 cars slid off or were involved in crashed on icy I-95. Several tractortrailers jackknifed, he said. By 9:45 a.m., traffic was moving once again. Hampton Falls on I-95 North was the site of a major crash early in the commute involving two tractor-trailers and another vehicle and there were other crashes along the major highway. Dozens of fender-benders and rollovers happened across the state Wednesday morning from the Seacoast to Gilford, starting about 6:30 a.m. Motor vehicle crashes continued to pile up on icy highways throughout southern New Hampshire as the commute continued. A stretch of Interstate 93 South, near exit 6, was shut down just before 7 a.m. because of a crash, according to the state DOT Traffic Management Center. And traffic came to a standstill in both directions on I-93 near the Hooksett tolls because of the slick highway and crashes. State highway crews began salting and sanding the roads about 4 a.m. when a wintry mix of snow and icy rain moved in but as motorists headed out to work about 6:30 a.m., 911 calls began rolling in for rollovers and fender-benders from across the southern part of the state along Route 101, I-95, I-293 and I 93, to name a few.

House panel passes redistricting plan CONCORD — A special New Hampshire House panel has passed a plan to redraw House districts. The House Special Committee on Redistricting met Tuesday and voted 12-5 on the proposed districts. The House will take up its recommendations early next year. Plans to redraw congressional, Execu-

tive Council and county commissioner districts will be considered at a later time. Critics complained at a hearing last week and on Tuesday that the proposed House districts linked some city wards with towns. Districts are adjusted every 10 years after the census. —Courtesy of WMUR

BRENTWOOD — A Salem man was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in state prison Tuesday for sexually assaulting a young boy, capping what a judge described as one of the most disturbing cases he can remember. Judge Kenneth McHugh said the pattern of ongoing abuse the boy suffered at the hands of David Pyles was one of the worst he has seen during his 35 years on the bench. McHugh said he was especially disturbed by the interview Pyles, 39, gave to Salem police in January 2010. “It’s burned into my memory. The disinterest, the arrogance, the failure to take responsibility; it’s so shocking I can’t verbalize how angry I was when I heard it for the first time,” McHugh said of Pyles’ police interview. “I could go on for hours. This is just one of the worst crimes I’ve ever seen.” Pyles abused the boy repeatedly from 2007 to 2009, but claimed to Salem police that the youth was the aggressor. The boy was 12 to 14 years old when the abuse occurred.

A jury swiftly convicted Pyles on Oct. 25 of three counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault after deliberating for only 20 minutes. Assistant County Attorney Lisa Cirulli argued that Pyles should spend 40 to 100 years behind bars under New Hampshire’s enhanced penalties for sexual offenders. Defense lawyer Maria Peppas argued that the law was only designed for repeat offenders convicted of three separate offenses. McHugh decided to craft his own sentence, saying Pyles will have to wait more than two decades before he can take the state’s sexual offender program — usually a last step for inmates before they can apply for parole. “I don’t even want him placed in the sexual offender program until he does 25 years,” McHugh said. “He will have some time to spend outside the walls if he finally admits his complete responsibility for all these acts.” The judge also inquired at length about the boy and said he hoped the youth could pick up the pieces of his life and move on.

Palmer. The group plans to meet Jan. 7, Jan. 14, Jan. 21, Jan. 28, Feb. 4 and Feb.11, 2012, from 10:30 a.m. to noon, and welcomes all to come and join in discussions about restoring civil discourse to big political issues. Palmer says in the prelude to his new book that looking at

Celia Pray, manager of Tossed and Found Gallery with Holly Jean Silvia.

politics through the eye of the heart can liberate us from seeing it as a chess game of moves and countermoves or a shell game for seizing power or a blame game of Whac-A-Mole. Rightly understood, politics is no game at all. It is the ancient and honorable human endeavor of creating a community in which the weak as well as the strong can flourish, love and power can collaborate, and justice and mercy can have their day. Elisabeth Swiriduk and Jean

Haley will lead the discussion. Elisabeth Swiriduk is a local educator who presently teaches adult learners at Carroll County Adult Education.

Student support appreciated by veterans To the editor: The members of The American Legion, North Conway, Post 95, and in fact all veterans of the Mount Washington Valley would like to take this opportunity to highly commend Mr. Richard Mattei, director, Kennett High School culinary arts department and his assistant, Mr. Tim Remillard, the Mineral Springs Cafe Sous Chef and finally, and perhaps most importantly, the students of the Mineral Springs Cafe for their volunteer efforts over the past two years in recognizing and honoring the veterans of the Mount Washington Valley. On Nov. 11, 2010 and again this past Nov. 11 the staff and students of the Kennett High School, Mineral Springs Cafe, volunteered their time and skills in preparing and serving a delicious luncheon in celebration of Veterans Day. Of the 115 veterans who partook of the luncheon this year, each and every one had nothing but

praise and generous accolades for the meal, its preparation and the students who served it. For the record I would like to iterate just a few of the remarks related to me personally during and subsequent to the luncheon: The cafe was immaculately clean; the food was absolutely delicious; the students were so polite, so courteous, so well dressed, and finally, they couldn’t do enough for us. However, the one I heard most often was ... this makes me so proud of our school and the students. Unless you are a veteran it would be understandably difficult for one to understand, particularly in this day and age, the indescribable good feeling a veteran walks away with believing their local high school students really do understand and honor their service and sacrifice. Michael Chandler, commander American Legion Post-95 North Conway

Life and Death and Then What? Christopher Hitchens died last Friday. Though it’s too early to say with surety, it seems he died as he lived — convinced that as the title of his last book declared: “God is Not Great,” and further convinced there was no such thing as God. Many of us wondered whether he would have a change of mind and/or heart after being diagnosed with terminal cancer of the esophagus but, so far, there are no reports that he did. Unlikely as it would seem, Hitchens interested me as he did other conservatives. Unlikely because he was an apologist for communism, an admirer of Leon Trotsky who, with Lenin and Stalin, led the Russian Revolution, and he was a bitter critic of Mother Teresa. He was a darling of the left because he was an intelligent, articulate, atheist socialist. He was a champion for the principles of leftist orthodoxy until he came out in support of President Clinton’s impeachment in the late 1990s. The left was in shock. Then he wrote a book about the Clintons called “No One Left to Lie to: the Values of the Worst Family.” That was heresy for a “progressive.” Next came the September 11th attack on the United States which, among other things, made him decide to become a US citizen. Following that, he exposed the left’s myopia in its refusal to condemn radical Islam in spite of its treatment of women, homosexuals, its denial of free speech, freedom of religion, and its willingness to use violence wherever and whenever to impose sharia on everyone. The final straw occurred when in 2003, he supported the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Hitchens pursued truth as he perceived it. He had heart and he had integrity. That’s more than I can say about most of the people I encounter on life’s journey. We perceived the world differently but I trusted the man in some intuitive way. He seemed to put the search for truth above himself, and I’ve discovered that I can relate only to people who do that. I’ve come to believe that Truth has a capital T but Hitchens denied that to his death. In his last essay for Vanity Fair Hitchens wrote: “Before I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer a year and a half ago, I rather jauntily told the readers of my memoirs that when faced with extinction I wanted to be fully conscious and awake, in order to ‘do’ death in the active and not the passive sense. And I do, still, try to nurture that little flame of curiosity and defiance: willing to play out the string to the end and wishing to be spared nothing that properly belongs to a life span. However, one thing that grave illness does is to make you examine familiar principles and seemingly reliable sayings. And there’s one that I find I am not saying with quite the same convic-

I’ve come to believe that Truth has a capital T but Hitchens denied that to his death. tion as I once used to: In particular, I have slightly stopped issuing the announcement that ‘Whatever doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.’” He was referring to the debilitating effects of chemotherapy on his body. That last quote is, ironically, attributed to Friedrich Nietzsche — author of the famous phrase “God is Dead” that has become the mantra of 20th century secular nihilism and championed by Hitchens during his lifetime. Nietzsche, however, predicted that the post-Christian 20th century would cause a decline in civility, indeed of western civilization itself, because Christianity has been responsible for the rise of those cherished western values including individual freedom and equality. As frequent Hitchens’s debate opponent Dinesh D’Sousa put it: “Unfortunately for the critics of Christianity, even values they care about will, according to Nietzsche, eventually collapse.” Nietzsche, Hitchens and millions of others like them believed the universe, our world, and those of us in it just happened by chance, and our existence doesn’t mean anything. That’s the essence of nihilism - the ruling ethic, if you can call it that, of our age. Ironically, Christopher Hitchens had a brother, Peter Hitchens, also a writer, who is both a Christian and a political conservative. Evidently they were never close, even in childhood, but they were civil to each other most of the time. Often they debated God publicly and politely. After his brother’s death, Peter Hitchens wrote “While I was making my gradual, hesitant way back to the altar-rail, my brother Christopher’s passion against God grew more virulent and confident. As he has become more certain about the non-existence of God, I have become more convinced we cannot know such a thing in the way we know anything else, and so must choose whether to believe or not. I think it better by far to believe.” So it seems Peter Hitchens’ belief in Christianity is informed more by Pascal’s Wager than by intrinsic faith. During one of his debates with brother Christopher he said: “I think both the atheist and the Christian fear there is a God, but the Christian also hopes there is one.” Christopher Hitchens believed fervently that his body would turn to dust and that would be it - lights out. I wonder what he’s thinking now. Tom McLaughlin lives in Lovell, Maine. He can be reached on his website at tommclaughlin.blogspot. com.

Bartlett suffered tremendous damage from Irene To the editor: In response to recent anonymous, misleading comments in regard to the flood repairs in Bartlett that were included in the Tele-Talk question on the Occupy Movement, the selectmen wish the callers had called to find out the facts, but then again, that would not have served their purposes. The town of Bartlett suffered a tremendous amount of damage as a result of Tropical Storm Irene and any and all repairs were absolutely necessary in order to get our roads, bridges, and culverts in working order prior to winter. Additionally, debris needed to be removed from the rivers and work done in the rivers in order to protect town roads, bridges, and property. Yes, any of the work done in the rivers also protects private property and for that we will not apologize. If you ask the 100-plus residents and taxpayers that live on Cow Hill Road, we are sure they would not agree that it is a road to nowhere. Cow Hill Road was completely destroyed and needed to be rebuilt along with upsizing culverts and drainage in order to protect against future events. The Town was able to secure FEMA funds to pay for 75 percent of the eventual cost of rebuilding Cow Hill Road, along with many other flood damaged roads, as well as the River Street bridge over the Saco River. As we explained at the public hearing on the proposed bond, which perhaps the callers to Tele-Talk did not attend, it is quite possible the bond amount may be amended to something less than $2 million dollars. Additionally, the $2 million or amended amount is the gross amount the Town has to spend on repairs and FEMA funding will pay for 75 percent of the bonded amount. The amount the Town will be responsible for will be in the area of $300,000-325,000, which will be the only amount that is carried forward on the bond over a three to five year period. If the town’s voters choose to not vote for the bond on Dec. 26, then

all of the $300,000-325,000 will have to be added on to one year’s tax bill, which in our opinion would be very onerous to most taxpayers. Additionally, the town was able to secure payment from the State for two-thirds of the Town’s 25 percent share of the lower Rocky Branch River project (in order to protect the State’s bridge) which is ongoing. The Town is still seeking to do a project which would shore up the berm on the Saco River in Bartlett Village. The work done in the Eastbranch River consisted of four projects — none of which involved Town of Bartlett funds. The Natural Resources and Conservation Service (NRCS) designed, engineered, and funded 75 percent of the projects and the remaining 25 percent was paid for by the property owners or through donations. The Town had to be the sponsor of the projects, but no funds were expended by the Town of Bartlett. Yes it is true that FEMA and NRCS money is federal tax money and the state money is from State tax dollars, however, we believe that we would not be doing our job in a responsible manner by not looking everywhere for help in funding these repairs. Believe us when we tell you it would have been a lot simpler to do this work and have it go on your tax bill rather than attending countless meetings, site visits, phone meetings, and paperwork and more paperwork; but we have a responsibility to the taxpayer and we have done everything in our power to fix the damage at the least possible cost to the taxpayer. By using federal money, we had to fix the damage to town and FEMA standards; we could have probably done it cheaper but it would only have likely been damaged again. If the Town doesn’t want us to take funds that are available to us, that’s fine; we can send the money back, but brace yourselves for a substantial impact on your tax bill. Bartlett Board of Selectmen Gene G. Chandler Douglas A. Garland David A. Patch

North Conway Day Care thanks donors for support To the editor: The North Conway Day Care Center, a program of the Vaughan Community Service, Inc., has recently sent out their annual appeal letter. To all of those who have already responded I say Thank You! We have been providing affordable, quality child care for the families of the Valley since 1972. Our board of directors offers a sliding fee schedule for those families that are just above the state scholarship income guidelines. This has been crucial for many families over the years to allow them to stay in the work force and have their children in a safe, nurturing environment. If you received a letter please consider a donation of any amount. This

is how we have survived over the past 40 years. I realize that everyone is receiving requests from many non-profit organizations at this time. I know we all have to make decisions on what we can afford to support but I have seen the many families that our agency has helped over the years and hope that you can help us again this year. If you did not receive an appeal letter and would like more information please feel free to contact me at 356-5213. Again on behalf of the families and children we serve thank you for your consideration and support. Jackie Howe, director North Conway Day Care Center Vaughan Community Service,Inc.

What kind of winter will it be? BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Is Mount Washington Valley in for a snowy winter? Depends on which resource one consults. The Farmers’ Almanac is predicting “above-normal temperatures across most of the southern and eastern U.S. “Because of above normal temperatures, much of the precipitation will likely be rain or mixed precipitation, although, during February, some potent East Coast storms could leave heavy snow, albeit of a wet and slushy consistency,” notes the publication. The 2012 edition of the Old Farmer’s Almanac, meanwhile, predicts that areas of northern New England should expect colder-than-normal temperatures but seasonal rates of snowfall. The Old Farmer’s Almanac has been using a formula that dates back to 1792, based on solar science, meteorology and climatology, and now technology to forecast the winter. “We traditionally have an 80-percent accuracy rate, but for last winter, we were 90.6 percent accurate in precipitation and temperature, so we’re really patting ourselves on the back this year,” Perault told WBZ. The Old Farmer’s Almanac says snowfall will be above normal in most

the unseasonably warm temperatures, but that is changing, according to marketing director Karl Stone of Ski New Hampshire, the consortium of 18 alpine areas and 15 cross-country centers. “We had 48 trails open in the state a week ago. With the return of good temperatures and snowmaking going 'round the clock, we now as of today [Dec. 20] have 146, so the trail counts have tripled in seven days. As our skiers and riders know, it shows what snowmaking can do,” said Stone Wednesday in a phone interview from Ski NH's North Woodstock office. Of the downhill ski resorts in the Granite State, 14 of 18 have snowmak-

locations from New England southward to Georgia and westward across the northern tier of states to the Cascades of Washington and Oregon. That said, current conditions including ocean temperatures related to El Ni&ntilde;o and La Ni&ntilde;a indicate that New England may catch a break this winter, at least compared to its neighbors to the west. AccuWeather is calling for above normal snowfall throughout most of the Northeast from January into February. With the exception of northern parts of New York and New England, temperatures are forecast to average near normal for the winter season, and in general, this winter is not expected to be as extreme as last winter for the big cities east of the Appalachians. Tom Hawley of the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine, said although the region had snow storms for Halloween and Thanksgiving, early snow does not always mean that a snowy season is in store. “When you look at the records, in general, early snow in October and November does not bode well for the rest of the season as a rule. But of of course, there are exceptions to that rule,” said Hawley. Based on the lack of major storms in the offing, he is not betting on a snowy next few weeks. ing coverage on 90 percent or more of their terrain with all resorts having snowmaking coverage on at least 50 percent of their terrain. That's a far cry from the snowless winters of 1979-80 and 1980-81, when snowmaking was still in its infancy stage at many resorts. White Christmas? Recent forecasts are currently pointing to some natural snowfall across New Hampshire on Dec. 23, said Stone. That snow could mean a white Christmas, as well as an ideal base for downhill and cross-country ski areas to rapidly expand their offering in advance see next page

Despite the lack of natural snow throughout New England, Lowell said lodging reservations were looking strong at Attitash's Grand Summit Resort and Conference Center, which offers slope-side lodging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reservations are looking great. They were strong before the winter season came, and they have not fallen off dramatically,â&#x20AC;? said Lowell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People who make plans to come for the vacation period pretty much are locked in and they don't want to disappoint their families. We are trying very hard to give them what we can,â&#x20AC;? said Lowell, who noted that Atttash's Nor-Easter Mountain Coaster will be in full operation for Christmas week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We've been making good progress,â&#x20AC;? said Lowell. Cranmore Mountain Resort in North Conway had 11 trails and four lifts in operation Wednesday, with its mountain coaster, giant swing, snow tubing and indoor family adventure zone in operation for the coming weekend and holiday week. Cranmore president and general manager Ben Wilcox said Wednesday that with the return of colder snowmaking temperatures and with some snow predicted for Friday and Saturday, Cranmore should be up to last year's Christmas week trail count by Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had 24 or 25 trails last year at Christmas week, when it was colder and we were able to make a lot of snow, and now with the cold weather, we should be able to get up to 23 by Monday. It's been a challenging start, but the upgrades that we made to our snowmaking over the summer have really been paying off,â&#x20AC;? said Wilcox. Cross country waiting Thom Perkins, executive director of the Jackson Ski Touring Foundation, has seen snowless Christmas weeks before. He's hopeful that the snow will come, and already has a game plan, should the region get light dustings of adequate snow Friday and over the weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The forecast [for Friday] has some encouragement. We're in charge of providing skiing when it snows, and we've got a plan for grooming should we get a small amount,â&#x20AC;? said Perkins, adding the village trails can be opened with little snowfall.

of the vacation period, Stone said. The long-term forecast for the holiday week indicates cold enough air for snowmaking every night, meaning that ski areas will be able to open more terrain every day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While we would all prefer several big snowfalls, we're extremely fortunate to have this recent cold weather to partner with our impressive snowmaking capabilities. It allows us to assure our guests they will have plenty of snow to enjoy and we're hoping Mother Nature gives us an extra boost,â&#x20AC;? said Stone Dec. 21. All but one of Mount Washington Valley's seven alpine areas were offering skiing as of Wednesday, with the last â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Black Mountain â&#x20AC;&#x201D; planning to open for Christmas week on Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are shooting for Monday of Christmas week. We have been making snow the past several nights as temperatures permit and will continue to do so,â&#x20AC;? said Black marketing director Krissy Fraser Wednesday. Likewise, John Lowell, general manager of Attitash Mountain Resort, said Attitash and other areas are pressing on, making the snow when temperatures permit, and piling it up so it can be dispersed where needed. He underscored that due to warm temperatures until recently and lack of natural snow, it has been a challenging year for all ski areas, not only in New Hampshire, but in all of New England and points beyond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Southwest is getting pounded,â&#x20AC;? said Lowell Wednesday, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so areas such as Taos are getting snow in New Mexico, and also in the upper Midwest at areas such as Schweitzer in Idaho [where former Attitash general manager Tom Chasse is now based]. The challenge in this business is to play with the cards you are dealt â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it's why snowmaking is so critical to the East and unfortunately, it's becoming more critical to Western resorts as well.â&#x20AC;? Lowell said Attitash had seven trails on Attitash and Bear Peak open as of Wednesday, with a goal of connecting the two by the weekend. In the meantime, a shuttle is operating between the two adjacent peaks. Its sister Peak Resorts area, Wildcat Mountain, had top-to-bottom skiing, with three trails and one lift open as of Wednesday.

Asked to judge how important economically it is for ski-touring centers such as the Jackson Ski Touring Foundation to have snow for Christmas week, Perkins said it's more of a psychological mood-setter for the rest of the season. “Christmas week economically is not a huge portion of our budget,” said Perkins, “but it does help set the tone for the season. So it does have a long-term impact on how people perceive the winter. Last year, we were open for five days of Christmas week, but only two of those were OK, as the winds blew the snow from the trails and people went up to Bretton Woods.” As skiers may remember, the snow came after Christmas week last year. No snow dance for Briggs Local cooperative weather observer Briggs Bunker — a quiet-spoken plumber by trade — isn't one to do a snow dance, but he does share snowsports lovers' concerns about the lack of snow and the warmer than normal temperatures. All this, despite getting snow for Halloween and Thanksgiving. “We are running well above average temperatures for October and November. The 49-year average for December is 23.7 degrees, and as of today, we have averaged 33.2, so we are quite a bit above average,” said Bunker. He said North Conway had recorded 17.5 inches of snow through Dec. 21, due to the Halloween and Thanksgiving storms, but only 2.4 inches for December compared to the 47-year average amount of approximately 20 inches. The most for December was recorded in 1972, when a whopping 60.5 inches were recorded. Back on the summit for weekly shift change day Wednesday, Mount Washington Weather observatory meteorologist Brian Clark said Mount Washington has seen temperatures in December that have been 7.9 degrees above the 30-year average of 18 degrees Fahrenheit.

A 50-year-old man was injured and trapped when his car slid off the road, over an embankment and into a tree near Mineral Springs of North Conway Care and Rehabilitation Center on Route 16 in North Conway Wednesday. Several other vehicles were reported off the road during the day Wednesday. A light rain and cold temperatures made conditions hazardous. (JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTO)

Snowfall amounts for December were 18.2 inches as of Dec. 21 with a week or more to go, compared to the 30-year average of 50 inches. “With a little over a week left in the month, those snowfall amounts could change,” said Clark, stepping back from his scientific outlook to say that he hopes to see a lot of snow this season. He is a skier, after all, who recorded the year's first tracks back in October. Ski conditions as of Dec. 21 Conditions at valley areas or nearby resorts as of Wednesday included: * Attitash: seven trails and three lifts. * Bretton Woods: 19 trails and five lifts. * Cannon Mountain: 12 trails and three lifts. * Cranmore: 11 trails and four lifts. * King Pine: four trails and two lifts. * Shawnee Peak: closed on Wednesday due to inclement weather. * Wildcat Mountain: three trails and one lift.

gated,” State Police Detective Justin Rowe said. “We have no further updates or developments to report at this time.” Police did, however, arrest a man who lives in the Golden Oaks home that has been the focus of the investigation. The arrest was not connected with the assault — it was on a bench warrant — and authorities have been unwilling to comment on its significance. “We’re not releasing any information on that,” Dewhurst said, “because of the pending investigation.” Officials have called this “a domestic-related crime,” but they have been unwilling to say just how the child was related to his abuser. “We’re not sure what the relationship is,” Conley said earlier this week, “but it is domestic-related.” The child was brought to Memorial Hospital by

his mother on Monday, before being flown by helicopter to Maine Medical Center. “There is a person or persons of interest,” Conley said on Wednesday, but neither he nor anyone else connected with the investigation had an estimate for how long it would be before an arrest or arrests are made. “It’s hard to say,” Dewhurst said. “I can’t give any timetable.” He was hopeful, however, that the case will eventually lead to an arrest. “The New Hampshire State Police and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office are working around the clock," Dewhurst said. Conley, meanwhile, said investigators have time to make their case. This is not an instance where authorities believe other members of the community are in danger, he said. “If we did we would have taken very specific steps."

ROMNEY from page one

The event, which marks the second day on the "Earn It" bus tour, is free to the public. "Governor Romney will be discussing his experience as a successful businessman and governor," Ryan Williams, spokesman for the Romney campaign, said Wednesday. "With only a few weeks left before voting begins in New Hampshire, Mitt is embarking on a threeday bus tour to meet with Granite Staters and earn their support," the Romney campaign website states. "The 'Earn It' bus tour will crisscross New Hampshire — from Keene to Lancaster and everywhere in between. We’ll be following Mitt’s travels and updating this blog post with the latest photos and tweets from the road." Romney received The Conway Daily Sun's endorsement Wednesday evening. "The best option for Republicans is to vote for the candidate with the best chance of taking the White House — Mitt Romney, the only Republican with the gravitas to unseat a sitting president and the executive experience to revive a flat-lining economy," publisher Mark Guerringue wrote in the paper's endorsement. Romney was last in Conway on Dec. 12 when he met with the Sun's editorial board. Later that day he went to Madison Lumber to meet with employees and voters. Romney remains the 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 less than a month away, six out of 10 voters polled remain undecided. 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 percent;

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 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. He was among the leading candidates for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. Elected governor of Massachusetts in 2002, Romney 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. He also 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. The New Hampshire primary is Jan. 10.

Sheriff seeks cooperation with State Police BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

OSSIPEE — The Carroll County Sheriff wants a guarantee that State Police Troop E will give a clear response to the county's emergency dispatchers in a timely manner. State Police officials say they are doing the best they can with the resources they have. In recent years there have been instances of communication breakdowns between the sheriff's office and Troop E, says sheriff Christopher Conley. Since December of 2010, the sheriff has been asking the State Police to sign an agreement to prevent future failures. Conley wanted to make that agreement effective Jan. 1. Conley had been been making similar requests since 2009. A memo provided by the sheriff's office shows that in September of 2010, there was a "complete breakdown of effective communications" with Troop E in regards to a domestic disturbance in Effingham. The call was handed off to State Police at 1:10 a.m. After learning the State Police weren't going to respond, the dispatchers sent a deputy to the call. Sixty-three minutes passed between the 9-1-1 call and the deputy's deployment. The State Police still haven't signed the agreement, said Conley who stressed that communications between the two agencies have greatly improved since he was elected sheriff in 2008. "Am I having success? The answer is unequivocally, yes," said Conley. "Is it at the rate I'd like? No. This is something I want to talk about in public to give a full accounting." In September of 2009, Conley wrote to State Police Col. Frederick Booth that the "long term/ recent history of interactions between the agencies is poor, unsatisfactory, unprofessional, and not in the interest of public safety or the police profession." Troop E Lt. William Magee said his agency does the best it can with the resources it's given. Troop E covers Belknap and Carroll counties 24 hours per day. With a limited number of troopers and a large area to cover, State Police have to prioritize the calls for service they get. State Police are seeing an increase in arrests and other types of incidents. "We are doing more with less out here," said Magee. Magee stressed that communication problems have been identified and addressed. Now, things seem to be running smoothly, said Magee adding there's "always room for improvement." The sheriff's office is responsible for much of the emergency communications dispatching in the county. Conley says it's crucial for his dispatchers to know where to direct the calls they get. Dis-

patchers have several options: sheriff deputies, State Police, and local police. The proposed communications agreement's scope "pertains to the hand off and receipt of calls for service between communications centers." The proposed agreement has four parts: Communication of any request will be specific, calls will receive an "unambiguous reply," the call will be handed off when the recipient makes an "affi rmative statement of responsibility for subsequent disposition," meetings between the two communications centers, and the two law enforcement agencies will share updated schedules. Magee says the State Police do share their schedules but those schedules are always subject to change. Magee said he doesn't have the authority to enter into an agreement with the sheriff's office. Earl Sweeny, New Hampshire assistant commissioner at the Department of Safety, wrote to Conley saying that the department's legal staff recommended that they don't sign the agreement. However Sweeny said that the department is "committed to being a partner" with the sheriff's office. The state police work cooperatively with other law enforcement agencies. Magee said in his opinion things are going smoothly. Problems that have arisen in the past have been identified and addressed. But Magee said there's always room for improvement. "Our mission is to protect life and property and we take our job seriously," said Magee. Despite the criticism, Conley said he had the highest respect for the State Police Troop E. Conley spent about 23 years at the State Police prior to becoming sheriff. Conley says he just wants to make government work better. Conley compared law enforcement dispatching to communications between helicopter pilots. Conley who is an Army helicopter pilot, said aviation regulations demand that it be clear who is at the controls of the helicopter. There is strict protocol for when a pilot turns over control to the co-pilot. There are times when helicopter pilots are flying missions at night. The pilot and co-pilot can't see each other because they are wearing goggles. Transferring the controls of the helicopter from commanding pilot to the co-pilot takes three steps. The pilot says "You have the controls," the co-pilot replies "I have the controls," and the commanding pilot says, "You have the controls." Conley wants a similar process between county dispatch and the State Police. "So many accidents have been attributed to no one was flying," said Conley.

White Mountain Community Heath Center receives donation from Rotary Three year pledge helps compensate for loss of state revenue

CONWAY — The Rotary Club of North Conway recently presented a check for $2,500 to the White Mountain Community Health Center to help offset losses in funding from the state. When the Rotary learned of the deep cuts by the state to the local health center, they pledged this amount each year for three years. Patricia McMurry, executive director of White Mountain Community Health Center, said “Multiyear support such as this is important as we recover from a major decline in state financial support. Recovery is a process and will take upward to two years.

It’s not too late to get your annual flu vaccine

CONCORD – It’s not too late to get your flu vaccination and vaccine manufacturers are projecting that there will be plenty of flu vaccine to go around. The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, Immunization Program and the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are working together this month to highlight the importance of getting an annual flu vaccination. The flu season typically runs from October to May and has not really begun in New Hampshire yet so there is still plenty of time to get a flu vaccine for this year. "We have to remember that influenza kills roughly 25,000 people in this country every year and hospitalizes over 200,000 annually," said Dr. Jose Montero, Director of Public Health at DHHS. "This is not just a cold. Though many people only become mildly ill, anyone, no matter how healthy or what age, can contract the flu and be out of commission for days." Immunity from the influenza vaccine does not last from season to season plus the flu strains that are circulating, and thus the composition of the vaccine, change ever year so it is important to be vaccinated again even if you were last year. CDC recommends that everyone age 6 months or older receive an annual flu vaccine, particularly those at greater risk of serious flu-related complications like pneumonia that can lead to hospitalization and even death. Especially at risk are: children younger than 5 years olds, but especially children younger than

2 years old; pregnant women; people with certain medical conditions like asthma, diabetes (types 1 and 2), or heart and lung disease; people 65 years and older; and people who care for anyone in one or more of the high-risk groups above. Other people for whom vaccination is especially important are: people who live in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities; people who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from flu, including: health care workers; household contacts of persons at high risk for complications from the flu; and household contacts and caregivers of children younger than 5 years of age with particular emphasis on vaccinating contacts of children younger than 6 months of age (children younger than 6 months are at highest risk of flu-related complications but are too young to get vaccinated). Symptoms of influenza include fever, cough, sore throat, running or stuffy nose, muscle aches (a hallmark of flu which is not present with a cold), fatigue and miserable days spent in bed instead of at work or school. While flu vaccine is available at doctor’s offices and health departments, it is also available at many pharmacies, workplaces, and other retail and clinic locations throughout the state. For more information about flu vaccination, visit CDC’s website at www.cdc.gov/flu, the DHHS website at www.dhhs.nh.gov/dphs/immunization/ index.htm or call the New Hampshire Immunization Program at (603) 271-4482.

Blood drive in North Conway on Dec. 27 CONWAY — December is traditionally a very challenging month for blood collections here in New Hampshire due to winter weather, colds and flu season. Blood is used to treat a wide variety of life-threatening conditions, including trauma, cancer, severe anemia, premature births, strokes and more. The Red Cross bloodmobile comes to the North Conway Grand Hotel, in North Conway on Tuesday, Dec. 27 from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Donors must be in good health, weigh 110 pounds or more, be 17 years of age, or 16 with parental consent. Because less than 5 percent of the population gives blood, new donors are always needed. To make an appointment to give blood, or for more information about giving blood, contact the American Red Cross at 1-800 RED CROSS (1-800-7332767) or visit online at redcrossblood.org. To help increase awareness of the need for blood and thank those who generously give the gift of life, Subway is teaming up with the American Red Cross during the month of December. All presenting donors in the North Conway area will receive a coupon for a free regular six-inch sub at any participating Subway restaurant in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire ranked the second healthiest state CONCORD — The State of New Hampshire received a second-place ranking among the 50 states and the District of Columbia today by the Trust for America’s Health in their report A Call to Action for Individuals and Their Communities. The report looked at various health indicators, such as obesity and smoking rates, and ranked all the states based on the data. Last year New Hampshire was ranked third. Some of New Hampshire’s strengths are a low percentage of children in poverty, a low rate of violent crime, and a high immunization rate, meaning most people have their children vaccinated against childhood diseases. “We are in general a healthy state,” said Dr. Jose Montero, public health director at DHHS, “but we know there is work to be done, especially in the area of chronic diseases. New Hampshire residents are continuing to become heavier overall, our smoking rate is still too high, and the number of people with diabetes is increasing rapidly. We can and must do better.” The report looks at a wide range of indicators including heart disease deaths, cancer rates, the percentage of patients who receive prenatal care, the premature birth rate, the number of residents without health insurance and more. Then the scores are calculated to determine an overall ranking. While the percentage of Granite Staters who smoke has been steadily decreasing, the number of those who are overweight or obese has been climbing dramatically since 1990. “It is extremely important to maintain a healthy weight,” continued Dr. Montero, “and to be physically active to improve our overall health. Diabetes, heart disease, some cancers, arthritis and other diseases are directly linked to poor diet, excess weight, and lack of exercise. With the New Year we should all make a resolution to eat a healthier diet and move more. Even small changes, such as a 10 percent drop in body weight and walking 15 minutes more a day, can have a big impact.” To read the entire report, go to www.americashealthrankings.org. For more information about any of the issues addressed, visit the NH Department of Health and Human Services website at www.dhhs.nh.gov.

Glen Community Baptist Church holds Christmas Eve candlelight service

I would like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. Bartlett Public Library will be closed Saturday, Dec. 24, for Christmas Eve and Monday, Dec. 26 and Jan. 2 for the federal holidays. Have a great holiday. The Glen Community Baptist Church will be celebrating the birth of The Lord Jesus Christ at our Christmas Eve candlelight service on Saturday, Dec. 24, at 7 p.m. On Sunday morning, Dec. 25, we will have our Morning Service at 11 a.m. Everyone is invited to attend these services. The Church phone is 383-9223. The Bartlett Village Church welcomed Rev. Andy Jepson Sunday evening with over 50 enthusiastic listeners in attendance. Andy left us one year ago and immediately traveled with Lindley Kinerk to Zimbabwe where they have made a positive impact on the lives of children and adults. Andy is an awesome photographer and speaker, so with Norman Head and Kathleen Sullivan projecting her pictures while she made a personal presentation, it was an evening to remember. Donations of over $500 were contributed toward their goal of raising approximately $10,000 to leave the gift of fresh water to Chinaa High School where they work. It is located in the town of Pfidza, where Andy will be pastor for the year 2010. The borehole (which will provide fresh water) is to be on school grounds and open for everyone’s use. The fund for the borehole was established by their friend and former United Church of Christ pastor in Gorham, Rev. Miryam Hammond. She set it up and established an email list,which they have added to over the year. Many area churches are participating in the project. The fund is already over half way there and Andy feels confident it will be completed before returning at the end of 2012. It wasn’t all work as they found time to do “small side trips” such as climb Mount Kilimanjaro, but their philanthropic effort will never be forgotten by the little village of Pfidza. The Bartlett Village Church looks forward to seeing friends and family this Saturday at 7 p.m. for a special Christmas Eve service.

Each participant may have his or her tools of preference, but expect to see chain saws, chisels, picks and blow torches as the birds, animals, buildings and other creations come to life on the front porch of this elegant turn-of-the century New England inn. Owner and general manager of The Wentworth, Fritz Koeppel, “enjoy(s) having all the vacationers, residents and school children at the competition as the participants transform ice into art. The sculptures enhance the beauty of The Wentworth both day and night.” Several years ago special lighting and display stands were installed for optimum nighttime viewing of the finished sculptures. Each year hundreds of cars and strollers slowly pass by in the evenings to view these fleeting works of art. There are still a few openings for the competition. Prizes include $500 cash for first place, $250 cash for second and third prize is an overnight stay for two in one of our Jacuzzi Suites with a fireplace, four course dinner and full country breakfast. The awards ceremony takes place in the lobby of The Wentworth. Anyone who is interested should contact Kathleen DeVitto, Sales Administrator at The Wentworth at 383-9700 or kathleen@thewentworth.

And thanks to the help of the whole community, they reached their goal. Thanks to the many town residents and friends throughout the Valley who donated items for the craft, white elephant, baked sale and tea tables. Many of the same folks came along on Saturday to help with the event or to enjoy each other’s company and make purchases or buy raffle tickets.

Marilynn Lunt, a long-time resident of Madison and North Conway, and Fryeburg, Maine, passed away Sunday morning with her children by her side. Marilynn had been part of the Mount Washington Valley community for more than 30 years since first arriving in Madison in the mid 1960s. She, like her husband, John, was a strong supporter of the Eastern Slope Ski Club and Mount Washington

Valley Ski Team, as well as Fryeburg Academy, where both her sons attended. Marilynn is survived by her children, Julie (Connary), Martha (McCarthy), Rick and Brian Lunt; and her sister, Carol (Saunders). Marilynn was also a very proud grandparent to Allison (Connary), Jessica, Tricia, and Megan (McCarthy), and Spencer and Austen (Lunt). A friends and family memorial

will be planned for this summer at her home on Conomo Point in Essex, Mass. to celebrate her life. In lieu of flowers, thoughtful donations can be made in her name to: Mount Washington Valley Ski Team, P.O.

DILBERT

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis some kind of reward or celebration at the end of the cycle. It doesn’t have to be big to be significant. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be processing some negative thoughts. Greet obstinate, unhelpful ideas like old friends. Thank them for visiting, and then send them on their way. You don’t have to believe everything you think. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be like a successful salesperson working the room. What you’re selling might be difficult to name correctly; it’s never what you think it is. More people will buy today than did all of last week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You communicate in a kind of emotional shorthand with the ones you love. Celebrate the ease that comes with this tie. You’ve been through the good and the bad, and you’re still united in friendship. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Those who behave in heartless ways baffle you, but you give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they just don’t know the happiness they will find by leading with their heart. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Everything happens in stages. The action stage is coming. For now, you’re still contemplating how you might make a change and mentally perusing your options. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 22). It’s a year of tough choices. You’ll shine as a decisive, sincere and devoted individual. Community involvement helps you establish a new niche. Actions that help your work will also be quite pleasurable, and vice versa. February is lucky for finance. March will end a hot pursuit with a satisfying outcome. Aries and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 30, 1, 24 and 18.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are always capable of dreaming up the kind of zesty plan that makes your eyes widen and your pulse quicken. This is one of the things loved ones count on from you. You’ll be a leader in fun today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have to be able to measure what you’re doing -- not because it matters to you so much, but because it will help you when you’re talking about it to others. People will only understand what is concrete and quantifiable. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a way with words, and you’ll use it to get into an elite situation or out of a tricky one. You align yourself with the people who are in the place you want to be. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may be a bit tired because the recent high level of activity is taking its toll. You’ll get a second wind this afternoon, though, that comes out of your total commitment to make something happen. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Every waking moment, you’ll be scanning your environment for people and resources that fit into your goals and make them easier to attain. Sometimes you won’t even be conscious of the fact that you are doing this. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your schedule will be filled with things you feel you must do, not things you really love to do. Make a plan to remedy this situation by the weekend before someone else makes plans that worsen the situation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You decide what you’re going to do and how you’re going to do it. What will really make the action complete is

Today is Thursday, Dec. 22, the 356th day of 2011. There are nine days left in the year. Winter arrives at 12:30 a.m. Eastern time. Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 22, 1941, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill arrived in Washington for a wartime conference with President Franklin D. Roosevelt. On this date: In 1775, Esek Hopkins was appointed the commander-in-chief of the Continental Navy. In 1808, Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67, Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68, and Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 58, had their world premieres in Vienna, Austria. In 1864, during the Civil War, Union Gen. William T. Sherman said in a message to President Abraham Lincoln: “I beg to present you as a Christmas-gift the city of Savannah.” In 1894, French army officer Alfred Dreyfus was convicted of treason in a courtmartial that triggered worldwide charges of anti-Semitism. (Dreyfus was eventually vindicated.) In 1910, a fire lasting more than 26 hours broke out at the Chicago Union Stock Yards; 21 firefighters were killed in the collapse of a burning building. In 1944, during the World War II Battle of the Bulge, U.S. Brig. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe rejected a German demand for surrender, writing “Nuts!” in his official reply. In 1977, three dozen people were killed when a 250-foot-high grain elevator at the Continental Grain Company plant in Westwego, La., exploded. In 1984, New York City resident Bernhard Goetz shot and wounded four youths on a Manhattan subway, claiming they were about to rob him. In 1991, the body of Marine Lt. Col. William R. Higgins, an American hostage slain by his terrorist captors, was found dumped along a highway in Lebanon. One year ago: President Barack Obama signed a law allowing gays for the first time in history to serve openly in America’s military. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Hector Elizondo is 75. Country singer Red Steagall is 73. Baseball Hall-of-Famer Steve Carlton is 67. ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer is 66. Rock singer-musician Rick Nielsen is 65. Rock singer-musician Michael Bacon is 63.

ABUSED MAN URGED TO GET HELP AND STOP SUFFERING IN SILENCE

DEAR ABBY: On Oct. 19 you printed a letter from “Bruised and Abused,” a man who is dating a woman who becomes physically violent when they argue. I know this is a touchy subject. I have heard from authorities that about half of domestic violence occurs when a woman throws the first blow. Most women believe, as the abusive girlfriend said, that her attack on him isn’t violence because she’s a woman and he is a man. As difficult as it may be, we need to talk about the role women play in the domestic violence cycle as well as the responsibilities of men. I’m saving the letter from “Bruised” to remind me. -- DONALD, A CALIFORNIA DENTIST DEAR DONALD: Since I printed that letter I have heard from readers telling me my answer didn’t go far enough. (I advised him to end the relationship.) Among those who wrote to me were doctors, members of law enforcement and mental health specialists -- as well as former victims. My newspaper readers comment: DEAR ABBY: Because we are bigger and stronger does not mean we don’t get abused. I was abused by my former wife and an ex-girlfriend before I recognized it for what it was and got myself the help I needed. Nobody else was there for me. If she is hitting him, he needs to call the police. If he has marks on him, SHE will go to jail. Men are too often ashamed to call the police because men think it reflects on their manhood. However, they need to put that shame aside and get the help they need. -- JOE IN MISSOURI DEAR ABBY: I’m a retired cop. “Bruised” asked you if what his girlfriend is doing is domestic abuse. Your reply did not mention that his girlfriend hitting him IS domestic abuse. It doesn’t matter if the abuser is male or female, nor the size of the victim. “Bruised” should call the cops and report this before she goads him into a response that gets him arrested. The courts can mandate the therapy she apparently needs. -- RUSS IN

HELENA, MONT. DEAR ABBY: I was a victim. People asked me why I didn’t fight back. I wasn’t raised to hit women. In the end, my wife put me in the hospital twice and left me blind in my left eye. She spent nine months in jail for everything that happened. Violence is violence regardless of who is throwing the punches. Tell that man he needs to get out now! God forbid he ends up dead. -- BATTERED IN ARIZONA DEAR ABBY: It doesn’t matter if he is a boy and she is a girl, or that he is bigger and stronger. Women do abuse men. It’s a crime that too often goes unreported. He should contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline (800) 799-7233 or SAFE (Stop Abuse for Everyone) at www.safe4all.org. -CLAUDIA, Ph.D., LONG BEACH, CALIF. DEAR ABBY: I agree with you that the man needs to leave “Carmen.” But something he wrote in his letter concerns me. He said, “I don’t want to end the relationship, but I think it’s the only way I can make her see things from my perspective.” This indicates to me that he thinks he can “teach her a lesson” by breaking up with her, and that this would stop her behavior. That would be a huge misconception on his part. Carmen’s behavior isn’t something that can be modified through a breakup. It is something that will require intense counseling to correct, if it can be corrected at all. The boyfriend needs to end things for good -- and run like the wind! -- BRUCE IN HOUSTON DEAR ABBY: Domestic abuse isn’t just male-on-female. It is very often female-on-male, and partner-on-partner in homosexual relationships. “Bruised and Abused” needs to notify the police, get a restraining order and stay away. -- STUDENT NURSE IN CHAPEL HILL

Bobcats claw their way past the Kennett girls, 44-39 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — It’s been a bad and good news scenario for the Kennett High girls basketball team thus far this season. The bad news is the Eagles lack experience at the end of close games and it’s hurt them twice. The good news is the girls from Conway are quickly gaining this experience and will be ready for their next close encounter. Kennett dropped its second consecutive close road contest Monday falling 44-39 at rival Plymouth. The Eagles slipped to 1-2 in Division II play while the Bobcats improved to 2-1. “We’re still working on our composure at the end of games,” Larry Meader, Eagles’ head coach, said. “…We had our chances at the end but our inexperience is hurting us right now. The good news is we’re getting the experience because we’ve been in close games. We could very easily be 3-0 at this point.” Kennett found itself up up a point, 18-17 at the half, but the host Bobcats outscored the visitors 14-9 in the third frame to carry a 31-27 advantage into the fourth quarter. The lead grew to as many as seven points before the Eagles went on a run. “They went up by seven with six minutes to play and then they pulled the ball out trying to stall,” Meader said. “We did an okay job of responding, but the girls were a little timid in not wanting to

foul. We were able to get a couple of steals and put them on the foul line and that allowed us to get back in it.”

“We’re still working on our composure at the end of games. …We had our chances at the end but our inexperience is hurting us right now. The good news is we’re getting the experience because we’ve been in close games. We could very easily be 3-0 at this point.” Jessie Wagner and Kaylin Samia hit back-to-back three pointers in the closing minutes to pull the Eagles to within two, but came up short on three straight possessions with a chance to tie the game. KHS was forced to foul and the Bobcats didn’t connect from the charity stripe, but got the rebound, Kennett fouled again and Plymouth missed the free throw, but this time Kennett got the rebound, but turned the ball over. For a third consecutive time KHS fouled and got the result it was looking for — a Plymouth miss on the free throw, but the Eagles were unable to score on their possession. Katlin “Shaq” Taylor led the Eagles with 8 points, all on offensive rebounds and put backs;

Jordan Murphy added 7; Casey Blakely, 6; Wagner, 5; and Samia, 5. Hannah Kuehl had 10 points and 11 rebounds for her third double-double of the season for Plymouth while teammate Kayla Sullivan added seven points including two three-pointers. Kennett collected 36 rebounds as team but committed a season-high 24 turnovers in defeat. “We turned the ball over way too much,” Meader said. “Some of them were more painful than others at critical times. We made some mental mistakes like not catching the ball.” Kennett is back in action today (tip-off at 6:30 p.m.) in its final pre-holiday break when Laconia (0-3) comes to town. The Sachems, who fell 54-35 to Kingswood tonight, had dropped two straight home contests to open the season, falling 59-23 to Merrimack Valley and 74-31 to Souhegan. “I don’t have a lot of information about them at this point, but I anticipate they’ll be okay,” Meader said. “We certainly can not afford to take anyone lightly. Hopefully, being back at home the girls will play with more energy and enjoy the home crowd support.” Kennett will got to the annual Mike Lee Tournament in Farmington over the Christmas break and could play as many as four games. “At this point, the more we can play the better,” Meader said.

Slow start proves costly for Eagles again BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — A slow start once again proved costly for the Kennett High boys basketball team on Tuesday when the Eagles played host to longtime rival Plymouth. The Bobcats outscored KHS 17-4 in the opening quarter and that turned out to be too big of hole for the hometown team to dig its way out of. The Eagles eventually fell 62-45. The loss dropped Kennett to 0-2 in Division II while Plymouth notched its first victory to improve to 1-1. “It was the opinion of our coaches that we have to take our hats off to Plymouth for playing a sound all-around game,” Steve Cote, Eagles’ head coach, said. “It was really spearheaded by their defensive aggressiveness and rebounding. They did a much better job of getting to loose balls than we did. Frankly, they imposed their will on us early and I didn’t think our guys responded very favorably to that.” The Bobcats led 37-15 at the half and extended the lead to 55-26 after three quarters. Kennett out-

scored Plymouth 19-7 in the final eight minutes to trim the final deficit. “We’re still juggling a lot of different combinations,” Cote said of his lineup. “We have at least 10-12 guys who are all reasonably equal not only in size but in terms of ability. We’re looking for who among the group to step up and take the program to the next level. Right now we’re just looking for some offensive output — we seem very hesitant on the offensive end of the court and that needs to change. “…The challenge for us at the moment is to keep everyone fired up and ready to play every game,” he continued. “There’s still a ton of basketball left to be played.” Next up for the Eagles is a trip to Laconia today to play the winless Sachems (0-2). Laconia lost a close 50-46 home contest to Kingswood on Tuesday. Last Friday, Souhegan defeated the Sachems 70-42 in Amherst. Kennett will spend the holiday break playing at least three games next week in the annual Mike Lee Holiday Invitational in Farmington.

IceCats split their first two hockey contests BY CHARLIE TRYDER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

The Fryeburg Academy-Lake Region Ice Cats opened their season on Saturday at Bridgton Academy with a penalty filled 5-3 loss to Leavitt. The Ice Cats demonstrated that they are a quick study by eliminating their propensity for ending up in the penalty box on Monday in a 1-0 win over Windham. The Ice Cats jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the first period against Leavitt in their opener. While skating five-on-five with Leavitt, the Ice Cats dominated play. They cycled well in the offensive end and played strong defense. The second period saw an unexpectedly high number of penalties, however. According to Coach John Moran, the Ice Cats played about 70 percent of the second and third periods at least a man down. This greatly impacted the outcome of the game. Moran said of the Ice Cats’ penalties, “You can’t win a game that way. You can’t play a man down and win a hockey game. Rebounds don’t get cleared, you play twice as hard, you get frustrated, and it comes back to get you.” Head injuries are a point of emphasis in all sports today, and in particularly, it appears, in hockey. Moran felt that this is why officials were whistling the Ice Cats. “There is a real emphasis on any head contact whatsoever,” he said, “so players have to keep their sticks and arms totally down. We have a number of tall kids on our team and we are struggling to adjust.” Playing down a man or more through the second period, the Ice Cats saw their 2-0 lead evaporate, and they entered the locker room tied 2-2 after two periods. Having lost their momentum, and still frequently playing one or more man down, the Ice Cats fell behind 5-2 in the third period. The Raiders did manage an unusual third goal from just in front of their own net at the end of the

game when goalie Pavlev Stepanovic passed the puck to TJ Leach. Leach then fired the puck the length of the ice on net with time expiring. The Leavitt goalie had the puck in sight and dropped down to stop the shot, but the puck got under him. “It is one of the longest goals I have witnessed in all my years involved with hockey, whether in Maine, New Hampshire, or Massachusetts,” Moran said of the goal. Although the Ice Cats essentially gave a game away due to their inability to stay out of the penalty box, Moran saw a positive in the result. “It was a great first game lesson. We learned how seriously the referees are taking the head injury issue and how seriously we need to take playing with discipline.” On Monday, a different Ice Cat club arrived at Bridgton Academy. Although there were still some penalties, the Cats played most of the game even handed. There was a focus on discipline and there were fewer penalties, but still more than Moran would like to see. Forward Tyler Harnden scored with 1:38 left in the first period to stake the Ice Cats to a 1-0 lead that held up for the entire game. Goalie Topi Laakso, from Finland, made 26 saves as the Raiders skated even up rather than a man down, enabling them to play solid defense in front of him. Moran commented on Laakso’s game, “Laakso played a great game. We are quite fortunate to have three strong goalies. Stepanovic also played a great game against Leavitt, but we gave up a lot of shots while we were one and two men down. Goalies have ups and downs, so we are quite fortunate to have both of them and we also have Legoff.” The game demonstrated the depth and strength of the Ice Cats defense in general. The Cats were thin on defense last year, so being able to put two strong pairs on the ice led by senior T.J. Leach and junior Tyler Hill bodes well for the upcoming season.

Kennett and Somersworth hockey showdown iced out CONWAY — Kennett High’s home hockey game versus defending state champ Somersworth, scheduled for yesterday afternoon, was postponed due to slippery road conditions down south earlier in the day and slowly found their way north. No make-up date has been set. This would have been the first rematch between the Toppers and Eagles since the Division III state championship game last March in the Verizon Wire-

less Arena in Manchester. Somersworth won that encounter 8-3 to cap an undefeated season and claim its first title. The win also prevented Kennett from winning three crowns in a row. The 2-0 Eagles will play their next home game Jan. 11. Somersworth is currently 0-2 on the season having lost 6-5 to Portsmouth and 2-1 to Pembroke/Campbell, both at home.
