(NY Times) — Add two names to the periodic table of elements, although you may want to write them in pencil for now. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry — the scientific body that is the keeper of the list of elements — unveiled Thursday the proposed names for elements 114 and 116: flerovium (atomic symbol Fl) and livermorium (atomic symbol Lv). If you do not like them, now is the time to voice your objections. The chemistry union will have a fivemonth comment period open to anyone. “We believe we have to let the world respond,” said Terry A. Renner, the chemistry union’s executive director. “It’s a desire to be fair and recognize everyone’s right to contribute as a scientist.” The chemistry union, along with its physics counterpart, spent years checking data before finally accepting in June that the two elements had indeed been created in collaborative experiments by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia, and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, Calif. The process of coming up with what to call them was nearly as arduous.

(NY Times) — Somehow the American economy appears to be getting better, even as the rest of the world is looking worse. In the midst of the European debt crisis, lingering instability in the oil-rich Middle East and concerns about a Chinese economic slowdown, the American unemployment rate unexpectedly dropped last month to 8.6 percent, its lowest level in two and a
half years. The nation’s employers modestly increased their hiring, too, the Labor Department said Friday. The figures come just a few months after economists were warning that the economy’s prospects were waning. “If you go back to August, all sorts of people were telling us that the economy was headed straight into recession,” said Paul Ashworth, senior United States economist at Capital
Economics. “Since that point, we’ve become more and more worried about the euro zone and other areas of the global economy, but somehow, at least for the moment, the U.S. economy seems to be shrugging all that off.” Resilient as the economy has apparently been since then, the fate of the recovery appears to be more dependent on external — and especially European — events.

in Syria. She had to hand-deliver the cash instead. Then a client, an investor for whom she is designing furniture for a new Abu Dhabi hotel, asked her to export whatever was completed immediately, lest the entire shipment get stuck. “This is not the solution” to end the crisis in Syria, said the woman, pulling her fashionable black wool coat tighter against the sudden winter chill hitting this superficially calm but beleaguered capital. “This is a way to make us starve to punish the president.”
SANA, Yemen (NY Times) — For years, Islah, the country’s largest and best organized opposition group, played a double game in Yemeni politics, maintaining close ties to the government of President Ali Abdullah Saleh while it also cultivated a network of supporters to defeat him. Its shifting alliances, reflecting different currents within the movement, helped keep Islah ahead of its opposition rivals in Yemen. That strategy also kept Islah out of power, unable to credibly offer an alternative to a government they were seen to be in league with. Now, with the increasing likelihood of Saleh’s exit, Islah, like Islamist organizations around the region, should be poised to win a strong public mandate at the polls. But it appears that, for now at least, it is not. The strategy that kept the party afloat through the Saleh years may have undermined its credibility.

Jail escapee still at large BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
OSSIPEE — A man who climbed over razor wire to escape from Carroll County jail on Thursday afternoon was still at large as of about 5 p.m. Friday. Meanwhile, local law enforcement agencies are looking for a black Toyota Highlander that was reported stolen in Wakefield late Thursday night or early Friday morning. Police say the escapee, David Glenn Hobson, 33, of Alfred, Maine, may have stolen the vehicle during the night. The 2004 Highlander’s license plate number is New Hampshire 1481896. A second stolen car — a blue 2004 Honda Accord with Maine license number 1355 M V — was reported stolen Friday in Sanford, Maine. “Neither vehicle has yet to be located as police think Hobson might be responsible for one of the theft,” Steve McCausland, of Maine Department of Public Safety, said in a press release Friday. Carroll County Sheriff Christopher Conley said authorities were using dogs to search the woods for Hobson. A helicopter was also being used in the search late Thursday afternoon. Conley said Hobson escaped at about 2:19 p.m. by climbing over razor wire surrounding the jail facilities.
E TH ILY DA
Hobson is 5-foot-6 and weighs 135 pounds. He has a slight build and a goatee. He is believed to be wearing a gray sweatshirt and gray sweatpants. It’s believed that Hobson cut himself on the razor wire. An orange shirt that Hobson was wearing when he first fled was found. Most of the search efforts are now taking place in Maine, according to Carroll County Sheriff’s Office. Maine authorities are searching for Hobson on their side of the state line, said Steve McCausland of Maine Department of Public Safety. “Hobson has a long criminal history in Maine revolving around burglaries and drugs,” said Steve McCausland. “He is considered desperate and dangerous and anyone seeing him or the SUV that he might be driving should call police immediately.” Perimeter security at the facility has been a concern of the county commissioners since at least August of 2010 when consultant John Alese reviewed the facility, which was built in 2003. “The facility has exterior inmate recreation yards that are secured by dual chain link fences that have razor wire at the top,” wrote Alese. “The yards are not covered and are easily accessible by outside intruders. see AT LARGE page 8

Occupy rallies in Conway Village this Sunday at 1 p.m. BY DAYMOND STEER
dents being pepper sprayed for blocking a walking path. However, Conway Police Lt. Chris Perley said protesters have a constitutional right to speak and assemble. The police are sworn to protect the U.S. Constitution. In previous local Occupy rallies, the protesters acted completely appropriately, he said. Conway Town Manager Earl Sires said much the same thing when asked if Occupy needed a permit. “They are free to gather and express their opinions with regard to the global state of affairs and/or the appearance of our Christmas tree,” said Sires. After the rally, Occupy New Hampshire organizer Mark Provost will be speaking at the meeting. Provost is an equity analyst turned economics journalist who has been published by online news organizations like Truthout. Provost says people have been attending rallies for reasons ranging from ending the wars to campaign finance reform. What fuels the movement is the bad economy in which jobs are scarce and the steepest wage decline in about 30 years. “It’s totally an extreme situation,” says Provost. “It’s absolutely desperate.” The new jobs that are being created tend to be low-paying service jobs with no benefits, said Provost.
THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — The biggest local Occupy rally yet is scheduled for Sunday in a new location — in front of the town’s Christmas tree. Sunday’s outdoor rally is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. and will only last an hour. Then participants will convene for an indoor meeting at a place to be determined. Previous rallies, held at the intersection of routes 16 and 153, have attracted between 50 and 70 people. Sunday’s rally might be bigger because Occupy protesters from around the state are expected to attend. Among the benefits of the new location is that will allow all the protesters to be together rather than being spread out on four corners. “The tree matches our festive spirit,” said Andy Davis, local Occupy organizer. Occupy Wall Street is a leaderless, people-powered movement that began on Sept. 17 in New York City’s financial district, inspiring related actions that have spread to over 100 cities across the U.S. and over 1,500 cities around the world. Common concerns include the economy and the corroding effect of big banks and multinational corporations on democracy, according to Davis. In other parts of the country, the police response to Occupy protests have gained national attention — for instance the footage of U.C. Davis stu-

Outside intruders also have direct access to inmate windows. The lack of minimal perimeter security presents a security threat to the staff, the community and the inmate population.” On Friday, commission chairman David Sorensen said perimeter fencing hasn’t been addressed since the report was written. He said it would be up to the delegation to fund better fencing or not in next year’s budget. However, Sorensen said he was surprised by the jail break because the existing razor wire that Hobson climbed over, looks intimidating. Sorensen said law enforcement’s response to the jail break was highly organized. “When you look at that razor wire, you wouldn’t want to escape,” said Sorensen. “It’s sharp.” Sorensen said the legislative delegation could choose to add fencing and razor wire to the budget. He added that House of Corrections superintendent Jason Johnson will be meeting with county commissioners on Wednesday. Further, Alese questioned in the report if staffing levels were adequate. At a recent subcommittee meeting, Johnson told lawmakers that the House of Corrections has 29 security staff members but he would feel more comfortable with at least 34. When the Alese report was written, Johnson only had 27 security staff employees. “I’d be in a lot better position than I’m in now,” said

Johnson to lawmakers about adding five more security staff members. “I wouldn’t have to worry about corrections officers in a jam. There’s no backup.” Johnson also told lawmakers that he was budgeting for two more corrections officers next year. Originally, he asked for eight more. “I would like to see you get more people,” said Rep. Frank McCarthy (R-Conway) adding the expense could be made up elsewhere in the county. “I know you need them.” Sorensen said it was the commission that reduced Johnson’s request from eight corrections officers to two or one. “He (Johnson) did his job on the whole budget, what he thought was necessary, and we looked at the financial picture and said ‘you’re looking for eight, we’ll give you two’ and I think we even went down to one,” said Sorensen. As of now, the House of Correction’s proposed budget is about $3.3 million. The 2011 approved budget is $3.16 million. from preceding page
True unemployment numbers are actually worse than the the official rate of about 9 percent because some people have been unemployed for so long that they no longer count as unemployed. On Sundays, Occupy New Hampshire, protesters who are mainly based in Manchester, travel around the state to visit other Occupy movements. Previously, Occupy New Hampshire protesters have appeared in Concord, Keene and Plymouth, said Provost who says they may bring four or five car loads of people on Sunday. It appears Occupy Conway might have a theme song now. Some enterprising Mount Washington Valley singers have created a music video for their piece “Hallelujah Corporations: A Musical Tribute to Corporate Excess.” The group calls itself Mic Check productions. The YouTube video has generated about 2,000 views in two days, said one of the singers, Mary Edes Kull. Other group members are singer songwriter Ellen Farnum, singer Martel Spagnolo, singer Hans Stafford, and musical accompaniment was by Peggy Johnson. The group performed the song at the Carroll County Democrats’ annual Grover Cleveland Dinner. After that, someone suggested that the group put a recording of the song on YouTube. Now, Edes hopes it will get the attention of news anchors like Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann. “We’re working on making it viral,” said Edes referring to a term for videos that are widely seen.

DIGEST OF STORIES IN THE SUN THIS WEEK
Saturday, Nov. 26 * There are "smiles all around" at local ski areas following Wednesday's snowstorm, which enabled some slopes and trails to open in time for the Thanksgiving weekend. * North Conway Village and the outlets are bustling with shoppers on Black Friday. * Congressman Frank Guinta says President Obama isn't doing enough to create jobs and boost the U.S. economy. * Republican presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman, former governor of Utah, will be in Conway for a town hall meeting Sunday. * A missing Wakefield girl is found. * The town of Moultonborough is hoping to transform how the county dispatch services are funded to give towns with their own dispatch centers a break.
Tele-Talk Who should be responsible for organizing and funding local events: town, chamber, business comminity, individuals or a combination? It took a last-minute effort to save the Conway Village Christmas tree-lighting ceremony this year. The event was in jeopardy until citizens, businesses, town officials and the fire department stepped up to purchase new lights and get them on the tree in time for the Saturday's ceremony next to the Conway Village information booth. The parade that usually precedes the tree lighting will not take place, however. And the New Year’s Eve fireworks display in North Conway Village is also in limbo. Janice Crawford, of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce, said the public outcry that occurred when it appeared that the tree lighting would be canceled raises a good debate about the role of the chamber, the town and local businesses in presenting local events. "Events don't just happen," Crawford said. "They take a lot of planning and involvement." This week's question is: Who should be responsible for organizing and funding local events: town, chamber, business community, individuals or a combination?

A man handed the pharmacist a handwritten note demanding narcotics. * Jon Huntsman, Republican candidate for president, says the current direction of the country is "unacceptable" He lists tax reform, regulatory reform and energy independence as his top priorities. Wednesday, Nov. 30 * Former Bartlett selectman Jon Tanguay is indicted on 43 more counts of child pornography, in addition to six child porn indictments that were filed against him previously. * There will be no Christmas parade and tree-lighting ceremony in Conway Village this year. * An anti-drug organization started by a North Conway man is offering a $1,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who robbed the North Conway Rite Aid pharmacy on Thanksgiving Day. * A woman alleges that a homeless man she tried to help stole several possessions, including her son's computer, from her home while she was at her own wedding.

Off the Wall Some of the comments posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page this past week: Response to news that the Conway Village Christmas parade and tree lighting were canceled: “Our town is falling apart little by little. They are taking away everything, not to mention all the buildings that just sit in town vacant. Sooner or later people are gonna stop coming.” — Rebecca Bell “This is awful! How about volunteers to decorate the tree? Make it a community effort. We just wasted tens of thousands on an irresponsible, wasteful and shoddy road project, and we can’t do this?” — Karen Nelson Wow — you wanna tell my kids that? I was just teaching them about holiday traditions and how important they are.” — Tracey Sevieri “I for one would pitch in some cash to make this happen. We as a nation can spend $139.5 million on going to the movie “Breaking Dawn” but can’t seem to help our communities help to keep these traditions.” — Stan Carte “Very sad. I’ve been taking my children to this for the past three years. Was hoping to make it a tradition.” — Jacklyn Broza “Very sad story. You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.” — Karen Cummings “Let’s not let the Grinch take it away. I think we should all bring an ornament to the tree on Friday evening to hang on the tree. Bring some lights to donate if you can and sing some holiday tunes. We can make it our own
holiday tree. Oh, and bring your hot beverage. Our children can make ornaments to hang as well.” — Saco River Recreational Council “This is a very sad situation. I can’t believe that the people who own and profit off of the malls and businesses in North Conway, the places with all the blinding lights in the parking lots, can’t afford to pay someone to take care of this in a professional fashion. This is typical small-town mentality.” — Heather-Rose Ryan “If you can’t afford, you don’t do it. I think more people should follow the example of the town when it comes to be able to pay for things.” — Mike Lilly “Don’t let this get you down. I’m sure there will be plenty of nice decorated homes and businesses this year as in the past. It’s a wonderful time of year. Keep decorating, Conway.” — David Robinson On news that the tree-lighting was back on: “We have lights! The holiday tree lighting is on thanks to all who have generously donated lights, and to the town for hanging the lights. Thanks, too, to those who have donated refreshments. Santa and his sleigh are even scheduled for a stop. The event will happen at 5 p.m. on Saturday at the tree Conway Information Booth.” — Melody Nester (Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce) “Awesomeness.” — Pat Quinn “Great news. Glad to hear it will happen!” — Lynette Munro’Anderton

IN REVIEW NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
A Distinct Lack of Enthusiasm GLEN, N.H. -- It sure is quiet up here, so still that you can almost hear the snow fall. In the coffeehouses and restaurants there's scant talk of politics. There's hardly a bumper sticker in sight, and only a handful of lawn signs. No breathless activists wearing buttons or stickers. No indefatigable canvassers walking the neighborhoods. In fact, it's easier to find a leaflet for Story Land, a well-loved amusement park that closed for the season Oct. 8, than for any of the contenders in the New Hampshire primary, which occurs Jan. 10. Drive around Carroll County, the only county in New England that Barry Goldwater carried in 1964, and you'll find almost no evidence that the first primary of the political season is but five weeks away. The television stations are starting to carry advertising, to be sure, but the urgency is for the shopping rush of the December holidays, not the political passions of the January primary. Republicans here and around the country are fervent in their desire to defeat Barack Obama, but they're not all that worked up for any of the GOP candidates. Washington has its budget deficit. New Hampshire has a motivation deficit. That's in part because none of the candidates inspires real enthusiasm. The rocky roadsides here are littered with candidacies that never were: Rudolph Giuliani, Haley Barbour, Sarah Palin, Mitch Daniels, Paul Ryan, Chris Christie, Jeb Bush. For months activists waited for one or more of them to set their cap for the nomination, infusing each with the qualities the real Republican field lacked, which is to say the ability to ignite the ardor and devotion Obama inspired in 2008, forgetting of course that Obama did not win the primary here. Another explanation for the motivation deficit: the lack of a narrative to the 2012 presidential campaign — so far. Four years ago, there was the apparent death and then the dramatic revivification of John McCain, a storyline that had resonance here, where McCain was remembered for his 19-point victory over George W. Bush in 2000. The Arizona senator and Vietnam war hero went on to win the nomination. Now, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, pronounced dead by all the smart people only six months ago, is surging and even has a Manchester Union Leader endorsement in his pocket. This looks for all the world like a second revivification, though history doesn't always repeat itself with such poetry and symmetry. A candidacy needs a better rationale than the notion that it is treading a well-worn path, particularly in a state that claims a poet who argues that roads not taken make all the difference. That same erstwhile poet-chicken farmer, in a verse titled "New Hampshire," once called these environs "a most restful state," which it is right now, though "the paper," as the Union Leader is often called, has stirred things up a bit, the way it did in the old days, when William Loeb was publisher. His successor once removed, Joseph W. McQuaid, said the paper's search "for conservatives of courage and conviction who are independent-minded, grounded in their core beliefs about this nation and its people, and best equipped for the job," led it to Gingrich. No subject, save the weather and maybe the Red Sox, has been debated here more fervently than the influence of the paper, which counts among its endorsed candidates Robert A. Taft (1952), John
David Shribman
Ashbrook (1972), Pete du Pont (1988) and Steve Forbes (2000). Only twice, in 1968 (Richard M. Nixon) and 1980 (Ronald Reagan), did the paper's choice prevail. And already the supporters of Mitt Romney — whose father, Gov. George Romney of Michigan, was derided as "Chihuahua George" on the front page of the paper nearly a half-century ago — are offering the theory that independents and moderates will find the Union Leader's imprimatur on the Gingrich candidacy an odious mark. It is true that the new threat to Romney posed by Gingrich makes this a more interesting and, perhaps, more vital contest than it might otherwise have been if a former governor of a neighboring state was holding a steady if not impressive lead with no apparent challenger. Now Romney's forces will have to work hard to win and, if they do, they will have earned a victory more significant than simply a perfunctory buss to the cheeks from their cousins down the road. And, of course, the good neighbor policy doesn't always work here, as the supporters of Edmund S. Muskie of Maine learned in 1972. On the surface, there should be enormous interest in this race. It's the first time in 16 years that the Republican race stands alone for the attention of New Hampshire voters, who include independents, a potentially important force. Though this state (and county) voted for Obama in 2008, the emphasis in this primary will be on conservative positions and values. A generation ago it was not uncommon even for Democrats here to distribute yard signs that pronounced their candidate as "honest, experienced, conservative," the implication being that the three words were synonymous with virtue. That emphasis on conservatism is back, even for Romney, who until midway through his single term as governor was resolutely moderate, if not a tad liberal. Today Romney says he wouldn't have undertaken one of his father's signature battles in Lansing, the fight for a state income tax. In those days, the elder Romney was considered a formidable challenger to Goldwater, whom he eventually refused to endorse in 1964. In recently released taped musings, Jacqueline Kennedy says of her husband: "He was nervous about Romney." Now it's conservatives who are nervous about a different Romney, which is why Gingrich, who is also muscling up in right-leaning South Carolina, the next theater of battle, went out of his way last week to say he was "a lot more conservative than Mitt Romney." For all but the supporters of Ron Paul, who is a lot more conservative than either of them, the motivation gap is a palpable presence in this race. Voters have ample reason to ignore the polls at this stage of the season, but this single finding, in the latest Pew poll, bears watching as the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary draw near: The only major candidate whose favorable ratings outweigh his unfavorable ratings isn't on the Republican ballot here. He is Barack Obama. David M. Shribman is executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He can be reached at dshribman@ post-gazette.com.

Occupy protests scams by wealthy, powerful To the editor: One of the central grievances that protesters with Occupy Wall Street are assembling to redress is the very type of scams by the wealthy and powerful that I described as an example in my last column titled: “People Who Matter.” “They conceive of the con (e.g., credit default swaps or “putting lipstick on the pig” of subprime mortgages via “securitization”), then entice co-conspirators into the racket (like the whores at ratings agencies like Standard & Poors), then hire ex-government “revolving-door” lobbyists who pay off the “people’s representatives” (their former colleagues), who then change the laws so their patrons’ scams are now legal. When the crooked bubble inaevitably bursts, the Underlying Population is left holding the bag, while the People Who Matters’ lickspittles in politics and the media wax philosophical on the canards of free markets, unregulated capitalism, and “no laws were broken.” Several of our local writers
have recently been “attacking the messengers” with petty, diversionary namecalling and false sweeping generalities, including repeating the insidious and dangerous canard that poor and middle-class Americans peaceably exercising their First Amendment right to assemble and petition their government for a redress of grievances are somehow disreputable and “dirty.” It is also a deliberately misleading and sleazy lie to conflate the grievances of the Occupy movement with a resentment of fairly earned wealth. No-one is resenting or criticizing Steve Jobs’ wealth. By contrast, Occupy Wall Street is protesting the systematic criminal scams, unaccountability, lawlessness, endless wars and pervasive racketeering of the few who are stealing their homes, security and jobs and any hope for their children’s future. Just who are Mssrs. Catalucci, Figuly, McLaughlin and Shakir really defending with their snark? Nathaniel Gurien Brick, N.J. and North Conway
Obama supported call for assessing routes To the editor: Regarding John Hartman’s note about the Keystone XL pipeline issue. President Obama did issue a statement supporting the State Department’s announcement on Nov. 10 calling for an “in-depth assessment of potential alternative routes in Nebraska.” On Nov. 14, the developer said it would change the route to avoid the state’s Sandhills area.

When granite was king Remembering Redstone’s glory days BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
Elaine Desjardins has lived in the former granite quarry town of Redstone for all 81 years of her life, but it wasn't until last month that the former co-owner of Arthur's Memorials had ever ventured all the way up to the area known as the Green Quarry. Standing high up on the ledge, near the pond on the green rock side of the quarry, Desjardins was in awe. “This is the first time I have ever seen the green rock! As kids, we were told to stay clear of the green rock, because of the water they told us about up here. They said this pond was bottomless — whether it is or not, I don't know, but it looks pretty green and dark to me!” said Desjardins. She was part of a 30-person guided tour sponsored by the Conway Public Library, which hosted a pre-tour talk, on Nov. 12. It was led by Redstone historians Steve Swenson of North Conway and Rick Russack of the nonprofit on-line web site, WhiteMountainHistory.org. “Redstone was quite a busy place,” said Desjardins as she and the group looked at the debris of stone, cables, building remains and rusted, aging equipment that was used by once teeming Redstone's hardy workers from the 1880s to the late 1940s to cut the green and pink granite from the side of Rattlesnake Mountain. “As a child,” she related, “we were told to stay out of the road, because of all the trucks going by on their way up to the quarry. We had to find our places to play.” Company town “Redstone was, and still is, a village within the town of Conway, and the 'old timers' want it remembered that way,” noted Swenson as participants trekked along the wooded dirt roads that once served parts of the complex. It was originally a company town built by the Maine and New Hampshire Granite Co. In its prime, it had a boarding house, a school (grades 1-6), a church, a pool room, a dance hall and stage over the company store, a railroad station and 20 houses for the permanent employees along Mountain, Greenstone, Redstone and Church streets. Many of these have been enlarged and modernized by current residents — including Desjardins, who lives in the first home on Mountain Street. Redstone had its own post office with its own zip code (which, to the lament of residents, was later reassigned to Yield House Industries). see next page

The old boarding house, once referred to as “the Big Ship,” housed transient workers who often moved among the various granite concerns in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, depending upon the demand for labor. The replacement boarding house, built when the “Big Ship” burned, was later converted into the Pines Lodge. That building was razed by its owners this past July and the property remains for sale. Place time forgot More than one observer on the tour commented that it is odd to see so much left behind up on the mountainsides. Swenson explained said the place is an historical archive, although much has rotted away. “Partially processed granite blocks are scattered around the site. Why they were abandoned is not known,” he said. High up on the hill, not far from where they were quarried, remains a stack of pink granite saw blocks weighing 25 to 30 tons each. Nearby, a block of roughed-out granite, obviously intended to be a round column, lies next to a stillbearing apple tree. Beside the path that was formerly the main Maine Central spur into the quarry lies a rejected polished green granite pilaster about 20 feet long. Desjardins, Swenson and Russack all posed for a photo at the column the day of the tour. “It's flat on one side, designed to stand against a building,” said Swenson. He noted that a second 18-foot polished column lying near the pilaster was taken in the 1990s from the site to the Rock of Ages quarry in Barre, Vt., and cut in half. The two sections now stand as decorative columns in front of the Intervale post office, having been incorporated into the design by local contractor John Schiavi, who built the post office, and who had formerly purchased a portion of Redstone Properties. “Although most of the buildings have collapsed, with the help of old maps, old photographs, studying remnants of foundations and listening to memories of local senior citizens, the story of a once-thriving village and renowned granite facility can be reconstructed,” note the two quarry historians. In articles posted on the WhiteMountainHistory. org website, and during the tour, Swenson and Russack shared some of what they have learned through their research. They noted that the granite quarries on Rattlesnake Mountain in Redstone, together with substantial remains of buildings and machinery dating back to the late 1800s, constitute “one of the most interesting industrial archaeological sites in New Hampshire.” Derricks rotting away As they showed during the tour, portions of two tall wooden derrick masts remain standing in the Green Quarry, barely supported by old guy wires dangling in the trees, while coils of wire cable lie rusting on the ground. Many other derrick booms and masts lie rotting on the ground where they fell when operations ceased in the late 1940s. Large lathes used to turn and polish granite columns are rusting away among the trees that are reclaiming the area. Shells of some original buildings remain. Standing exposed to the elements, two large rusting coal-fired boilers along with two giant air compressors are fast becoming obscured by vegetation. The building that once housed them is gone. “These boilers generated steam to run air compressors that once supplied air at high-pressure for pneumatic tools and machinery in the quarries and stone sheds,” said Swenson. Portions of the piping used to distribute the compressed air can still be found on the ground, as many on the tour can attest. Some sections of railroad track remain. “Gravity railroads, or tramways, transported heavy granite blocks from the quarries to the once-busy stone yard and sheds at the base of the mountain for processing,” noted Swenson, as the group made its way up through the fall leaves to the Green Quarry. see next page

Hi! My name is Homer

His and Russack's slide show contained photographs of Redstone's many no longer standing buildings, including the main stone shed, a huge wooden building over 400 feet long, which was destroyed by fire in spring 1929. A metal structure replaced it within a year's time, says Swenson. Railroad connection In 1871, the Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad laid track at the base of Rattlesnake Mountain, through the area now known as Redstone. Within a few miles, this line joined with the Boston and Maine RR in North Conway. At this time, note Swenson and Russack, the major activities in the area were farming and logging, not quarrying. But in the late 1870s, the railroad needed granite for bridge abutments — and large granite boulders at the base of Rattlesnake Mountain provided the stone the railroad needed. These boulders also supplied foundation stones for buildings in the area. The stone was uniform in composition, split easily along the “grain” and its proximity to the existing railroad line made it easy to transport. In 1880, George Wagg, roadmaster of the Maine Central Railroad, brought the quality of the granite to the attention of Payson Tucker, president of the Maine Central and J.H. Emery of North Jay, Maine. In 1886, the North Jay Granite Company bought land on Rattlesnake Mountain, which became known as the Redstone Quarry. By 1887, the Maine and New Hampshire Granite Company was formed, with Wagg as president, and with quarries in Jay, as well as Redstone. From 1887 to 1895, the company bought additional land on Rattlesnake Mountain and expanded the quarries. A cutting yard was established at the base of the mountain and a railroad spur connected to the nearby Maine Central line.The first stone, shipped in 1886, was for paving stones in New York City, and granite for the building
of the Union Station in Portland, Maine. The Maine Central built its station in Redstone in 1888. The stone in North Jay was fine-grained, light gray granite similar to that in Concord, and in Barre, Vt. “The quarries in Redstone produced two different colors of granite: red and green. Therefore, the Maine and New Hampshire Granite Co. was able to offer three distinct colors of stone: grey from North Jay, plus red and green from Redstone,” said Swenson. Earlier maps and photos of the pink quarry indicate quarrying began there, said Swenson, further toward the southeast, and gradually moved northwest, closer to the green quarry. The first inclined rail line ran to the pink quarry. George Wagg served as president of the company until his death in 1892. His son succeeded him and served as president until the company was sold in 1895. In the late 19th century, granite was an important building stone and it was also used for paving blocks, in the streets of major cities in the North East, Swenson and Russack related during the talk at the Conway Public Library. Granite was also popular for memorials because of it durability compared to marble or limestone, they said. Thriving era in Redstone By 1889, each day the company was shipping six to nine freight car loads of finished product. By the early 20th century, Redstone was an established and thriving village with workers living in company owned houses or the company boarding house. Many commuted daily from the surrounding villages. They came from North Conway and East Conway by horse and wagon, those with wagons giving rides to those who did not have their own transportation. In Center Conway, two men provided transportation to the quarries. During peak production periods, reportedly as many as 350 men were employed. There were
quarrymen, cutters, polishers, engineers, carpenters, blacksmiths and skilled carvers. Following the introduction of pneumatic tools (about 1904), fewer men were required in the quarries. Tough work “Each morning, following a five-minute warning whistle, the 7 a.m. whistle blew and the men were expected to be on site, with tools in hand ready to start work,” said Swenson on the tour. “There were no coffee breaks or personal visits allowed during working hours. The men in the yard and stone sheds often walked back to the boarding house for lunch and were back on the job by 1 p.m.while men working up in the quarries carried their own lunch,” said Russack. Depending on the workload, sometimes drilling, cutting and polishing operations called for more than one eight-hour shift. In the early days, according to the literature, a driller could earn $1.75 a day while a first-class stone cutter earned $2 a day. They said that some “old timers” (Babe Pennett and Henry Gagnon) who worked in the quarry as teenagers, recalled that in 1922 a tool boy earned $11 a week while a stone carver with special skills could earn $9 and up for a day's work. At one time, as many as 1,700,000 paving stones were shipped annually from Redstone. Eventually the Maine Central Railroad built two lines directly into the stone sheds with four spurs to handle coal, lumber and supplies. One line entered the site from the east side and another entered the site from the west side. One spur ran under the “crusher” where granite scraps (“grout”) were crushed and typically used as ballast for railroad track. How the rock was moved Russack said it was unusual to have two kinds of high-quality green and pink granite so close to one another — Redstone's green granite quarry is located to the left when looking up at the cliff, and the pink is to the right. see next page

On Swenson and Russack's Saturday tour, participants saw how both the green and pink quarries lay several hundred feet up slope from the cutting and finishing area. Most large pieces of stone were moved down by either derrick, rail or ox cart. “One old photograph shows a 66-ton block resting on a rail sled, known as a go devil or crab. The proud quarrymen stand by and a massive set of 'dogs' and chain hangs from the top of the block. So-called 'dogs' are simply large tongs used to lift heavy blocks of stone,” said Swenson. Double, counter-weighted tracks ran to the pink quarry. Horse or ox teams and wagons moved smaller loads on level ground. Another old photo shows smaller derricks, cranked by hand, or a “bull wheel” powered by a team of horses, were used to move blocks of granite in the stone yard. These derricks also moved granite to and from the lathes and polishing machines. Swenson and Russack note that existing maps show that there were as many as 10 derricks, with engine houses, placed around the quarries and stone yard. Each had a coal stove for heat in winter. There were two blacksmith shops — one near the pink quarry, and the other in the large stone shed. In addition, there were numerous storage sheds, horse barns, garages and warehouses. Initially, most of the machines were
steam powered, which required coal-fired boilers. Many machines were later converted to electric power. Water was essential for blacksmiths, the polishers and for cooling various cutting machines. It came from the local pond and from the water that had to be continuously pumped from the green quarry. Maintenance of tools, machinery and buildings was an ongoing challenge due to the heavy loads and resistant material. Before the advent of hardened steel and carbide tipped drills, many tools had to be sharpened and tempered by the blacksmiths each day. Lathes were used to rough-turn and polish granite columns (some as long as 22 feet). A very large lathe, with a faceplate more than five feet in diameter, was used for the final polishing process. This lathe, and the building that housed it, remain today, surrounded by the forest. The building is one of the best preserved on the site, as participants of this month's tour saw. Most of the roof was open, allowing large granite columns to be lowered and removed by a derrick from above. Sections of the single railroad track to the green quarry remain near the building and the massive iron hardware once attached to the derrick rusts nearby. Portions of the wooden boom and mast lie rotting on the ground with hardware still attached. This was a particularly important derrick as it serviced both pink and green quarry rail lines
as well as the stone yard and lathes. (In its time, it was known as Motrone's, as it was operated by Elaine (Motrone) Desjardins' father). The wooden booms and masts, some as tall as 120 feet, were of Douglas Fir brought from the Pacific North West on articulated railroad flat cars. Improvements made In the early 1920s, primitive band saws, known as “gang saws,” were installed to speed up the initial cutting of the large granite saw blocks. Workers in the gang saw building wore cotton in their ears due to the loud noise caused by the multiple crude steel blades. These blades, mounted in a crib, moved back and forth over the granite blocks. They were cooled by water and steel shot was added as an abrasive. The gang saw greatly increased the speed of the initial cuts. Eventually, as technology improved, hardened steel, and improved abrasives were adopted. Water-cooled, circular Carborundum saws were installed in the “carbo shop.” and allowed for more rapid cutting of smaller dimension stone. Though heavily vandalized, most of the three-storied carpenter shop building still stands near where the stone shed once was. Several carpenters were kept busy. They built and maintained structures and crated finished products to protect edges and surfaces during shipment by rail. see next page

Hazardous place to work Redstone endured its share of accidents and tragedies, including the deaths of men who were in the wrong place at the wrong time or who were careless for a moment. On June 27, 1918 The Reporter, of North Conway, reported the death of Fred Philbrook, according to Russack. Philbrook, who was reportedly hard of hearing, was accidentally run over by a railroad work car known as a “dego.” The late Harry Mason, who began work in the quarries in 1913 at age 17, recalled, “lots of cuts and bruises” as well as arms and legs being crushed by a falling slabs of granite. (Conway granite is heavy; it weighs approximately 165 pounds a cubic foot.) Many workers suffered from silicosis, referred to at the time as “stone cutter’s consumption,” a serious lung condition attributed to inhaling stone dust and fine metal particles from the drills. Prior to the 1930s, when a ventilating
system was installed in the re-built metal stone shed, little attention was paid to protecting workers from the hazard of inhaling stone dust. Many workers did not live much beyond 45 years of age. Used in massive buildings Granite from Redstone and North Jay was used in most of the early Maine Central and Boston & Maine railroad stations. Most have been demolished due to the decline of the B&M but some, such as the one in Laconia, survive. Redstone granite was used in many buildings in Portland, Boston, New York, and Washington, D.C., and as far away as Denver, Colo., and Havana, Cuba. The Hatch Memorial Shell, in Boston, is of Conway green. Grant’s Tomb in New York, the National Archives building in Washington, and the George Washington Memorial Masonic Temple in Alexandria, Va., were built mostly of Conway pink granite.

Redstone memorial envisioned Page 20 — THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, December 3, 2011
BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
Together, Steve Swenson and Rick Russack and their committee hope to build a memorial in the triangle at the entrance to the village. “Eventually, Rick says it should be turned into a state park, with markings, telling its history,” said Swenson. They have been promised a flat-faced, 6-ton, pink granite stone from A.J. Coleman in nearby Madison, on which to have words inscribed, and now are awaiting its being moved to the park. Arthur’s Memorials will do the engrav-

Supplying granite for the Masonic Temple was the largest job ever undertaken by Redstone. It included 24 polished columns, each 22 feet long and each weighing 18 tons. The six-year job, completed in 1929, was a financial boon to the company. It should have given them a solid bank balance for the on-coming depression but apparently it did not, note Swenson and Russack. “Evidently,” they write on www. WhiteMountainHistory.org, “during this lengthy and lucrative contract, management became careless and the business went into temporary bankruptcy. Redstone definitely felt the economic effects of the depression, however there were some long-term government contracts which allowed production to continue, although on a reduced scale.” In addition to producing paving blocks, dimension stone and various size columns, the company also turned out carved statues as well as pediments for columns and other decorative pieces.
ing on site, say Swenson and Russack. Selectmen okayed the concept at their June 7 meeting. They requested approval of the final design, says Swenson. “We are seeking donations to help make this come to fruition,” said Swenson, who notes that the committee is seeking volunteers and input from people who have a connection to Redstone, which was home to many Italian craftsmen who came here to work the quarry. Many of their families stayed on, including those of former Conway police chief William Scaletti and of Desjardins,
whose maiden name was Motroni. Swenson said the Tom Daly family, which owned the Pines Lodge property for three generations, has donated some granite steps and wood remnants to be turned into commemorative pens and key bobs for the memorial effort. An avid local cycling and cross country skiing enthusiast and a retired school psychologist, Swenson is a great grandson of John Swenson, who founded the Swenson Granite Co. in Concord in 1883, about the same time quarrying began in Redstone. In his younger days, Swenson
worked in the quarry for the family business which was once part owner of Redstone. Today, together with Rock of Ages, it is one of the largest suppliers of granite in the United States. “This history is important,” said Swenson. ••• To make tax deductible donations to the memorial effort, send checks to Redstone Memorial Project, care of WhiteMountainHistory.org, 21 Beach Plain Road, Danville 03819. For more information, telephone Swenson at 356-9021 or visit www.WhiteMountainHistory.org.
“One of the Italian artists who carved statues stayed at our house, as my mother ran a boarding house. I think the statue was sent to some place in New York,” said Desjardins. Granite blocks from other quarries in Maine were shipped to Redstone for final fabrication and carving. Scraps of non-Redstone granite can be found in the former stone shed dump. (The dump is usually the last stop on a walking tour of the area and for the local schoolchildren, it has become known as “the gift shop.” And so it was on the day of our tour Nov. 12, as children knelt down to find smooth-sided remnants — soon no doubt to become treasured paperweight gifts for family members and teachers.) The long decline The company survived the Depression years of the 1930s and continued until the beginning of World War II, when limestone and concrete aggregate began to replace granite for building purposes and at a much lower cost, notes Swenson. By the early 1940s much of the quality
granite in Redstone had been removed and the company was no longer competitive with other suppliers. By this time, the owners of the Redstone Properties (John Swenson Granite Co., of Concord, and H.E. Fletcher & Sons of Chelmsford, Mass.) each had their own, more modern facility. Once World War II began, there were new national priorities and Redstone converted to defense work. For a brief period, forges were installed in the stone sheds for the production of metal castings. The large metal stone shed was sold and moved to a General Electric war plant in Lynn, Mass. Local women worked in the large boarding house dining hall, assembling metal fittings for wire nets which were woven in the Swenson Granite Co. sheds in Concord. Reportedly, the last time granite was quarried in Redstone was in 1948 for an addition to the Criminal Courts building in New York City. The architect specified Conway green to match the stone in original building, notes Swenson.
“Crews worked round the clock and the Swenson and Fletcher granite companies, the joint owners of the Redstone Properties at the time, shipped the granite to Concord and Chelmsford for fabrication,” he wrote. Redstone sold Soon thereafter, the entire Redstone property and village was sold at auction. Residents of the company houses were given first option to purchase their homes and many did. In 1975, the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration undertook a geothermal drilling project. The object was to explore the possibilities of geothermal heat from the natural decay of several radioactive minerals in the local granite. They drilled to a depth of 3,002 feet but results were disappointing and further exploration was discontinued. Today, the Nature Conservancy owns the majority of the original Redstone property, while the State of New Hampshire owns the quarry area, having purchased the Schiavi property in the late 1990s.

‘The sun lit the world up’ Hiking –––––
This Wednesday I did an interesting hike Ed Parsons on two old trails. I began by climbing the 3.9 mile Blueberry Ledge Trail (built in 1899) up Mount Whiteface, located in the Sandwich Range. From the south ledges on the summit, I descended the seldom used McCrillis Trail, constructed in the 1850s. In 3.2 miles I connected with the Flat Mountain Pond Trail and walked out to the flat and scenic Whiteface Intervale. From there, I walked out the Whiteface Intervale Road to Route 113A and hitch-hiked 4.5 miles back to my car in Wonalancet. Why bother? Well, I have wanted to connect these two beautiful trails, located on a beautiful mountain. Also, the idea of doing this loop over the mountain is far from new. Down on the flats, the 2.9 mile McCrillis Path used to connect the Whiteface Intervale with Wonalancet. This gentle trail, likely older than the steep McCrillis Trail, used to connect one grassy intervale to another. At least, until a few decades ago, when a landowner at the Whiteface Intervale end of the trail blocked his land from hikers and x-country skiers. This made a loop hike on Mount Whiteface impossible via trails on the south side. Through the years since, the flat McCrillis Path, starting on the lower Blueberry Ledge Trail in Wonalancet, dead-ended in one mile at the national forest boundary. People have enjoyed it none-the-less, whether for walking, skiing or snowshoeing. But the idea of re-opening its entire length has always been present, and

just recently, a landowner named George Bates made an easement of land in Whiteface Intervale, making it finally possible. Next year, the Wonalancet Outdoor Club trail crew, in conjunction with the forest service, will complete the relocation of 2,500 feet of trail, and the McCrillis Path will be open from end to end again. The 12-mile loop hike that will then be

possible over Whiteface is one that this beautiful mountain deserves. I’ll do it. But I couldn’t wait. Perhaps it was Steve Smith’s hiking article this week, where he mentioned next summer’s completion of the McCrillis Trail. Also, this Wednesday was such a gorgeous day. I looked out the window early and saw blue sky. Clouds still lingered though, skimming across the summits

most of the day. I liked that. It was mild. By the next day on Thursday, the clouds were gone, but it was much colder. From the parking lot in Ferncroft, I walked down the road and up the Blueberry Ledge Trail. Water sped down the Wonolancet River, evidence of a downpour the night before, which I had pretty much slept through. see next page

Also, the snow was totally gone, and only in a few scattered spots higher up. The Blueberry Ledge Trail has seen a lot of good improvement work in the last three years. Two relocations near the bottom around wet areas were done by volunteers. Higher up, the technical rock work needed to build steep steps and water bars was contracted out to a Maine outfit named “Off the Beaten Path” run by Jed Talbot of Windham. To tell you the truth, I wasn’t on the lookout for trail improvements, and just hiked at a good clip over wet terrain. It was the perfect weather for it. As the ridge leveled out below the top, a cold breeze came up, and cloud filtered through the trees. The ledgey section was fun — Vibram soles stick well to clean wet rock. Then, one of my favorite things in the mountains happened. I stood on a flat ledge facing south, and the clouds lifted magically over the nearby summit. The sun lit the world up, including the big south ledge that the mountain is noted for. Then the clouds closed in again. I made my way to the summit ledges, had a brief snack, enjoyed the southern view beneath the dark clouds, and headed down the McCrillis Trail at 10:30 a.m. In the early days of the McCrillis Trail, a guide was hired to take people up the mountain. The four mile trail started directly behind the McCrillis’s inn, down in the Whiteface Intervale. Today, most of the upper trail is the original, though the newer lower section turns west over to the Flat Mountain Pond Trail and out to the road, avoiding private land. The upper section, though traveled infrequently, has a subtle
but definite trough from years of use. On Wednesday, after stumbling down the first steep half mile, I started down a long gentle slope through a beech forest. Rainwater had turned the trail into a leaf lined brook. I walked alongside, but if I got too close, I would slide sideways down into the brook on wet leaves. Also, I put on my hunter orange there. It felt like I should. But it was quiet. Finally the trail turned right along a low ridge. Following the trail can be difficult at that point. White paint marks on trees are almost worn away. All there is to follow is a faint dip in the ground and a few worn roots. In the summer, hobblebush leaves hide the trail even more. Some local hiking club members got lost there last summer. Now, though feint, the trail is laid bare by early winter. I walked along it, relived to be on dry land. Then the trail dropped steeply down, and I could hear the roar of the Whiteface River down below, coming out of Flat Mountain Pond. Like Chris McCandless of “Into the Wild” fame, I hadn’t thought much about crossing the river in high water. After all, I had slept through the downpour the night before. I reached the Flat Mountain Pond trail and headed downhill. But in five minutes I was at a river crossing that I had forgotten about. I laughed. There was no way I could get across without taking a risk and becoming a seriously chilled drowned rat. For a split second, I felt something approaching the concern that McCandless must have felt. Then I looked at the map. I could just keep heading down this side of the river to the Whiteface Intervale. I’d probably hit private property next to the road, but

that was better than the alternative. There was actually an old road down the river that was much shorter than the trail. Soon I walked out into a vast field by an old brick house. Following two tire ruts in the grass out to the Whiteface Intervale Road, the view behind me of Mount Whiteface over the tree lined house got better and better. Later, hitching on the quiet Route 113A, I got picked up by some college age boaters who were kayaking the lower Whiteface River, and then by a retired couple from Cordova, Alaska who were down in civilization to ski for the winter. Actually I had to walk a two mile section between these rides, but it was quiet and peaceful, and felt like part of the hike. Note: Here is an interesting thought for those looking for the right Christmas gift, those who enjoy colorful hiking guides, and also those who want to see the majority of the world’s wealth spread beyond 1 percent of the population. Tomorrow, Sunday Dec. 4, there will be a combined Occupy Conway and Occupy New Hampshire gathering at 1 p.m. at the Conway Village Chamber of Commerce Information Booth on Route 16. One of the many attending from the southern part of the state will be the outdoor writer Marianne O’Connor. She will have copies of her well known, informative and fun book “Haunted Hikes of New Hampshire.” She is offering a copy to anyone who asks. “I will have books available for anyone who wants one,” she said. “I will accept donations, but will turn no one down.” This book is a delightful mix of history, geography, and haunted tales. Make your own Occupy sign, come join the group, and get someone a gift while you are at it.

surface soil may dry out below the depth of their shallow roots. Once established, beech continues to dominate the forest composition, as hemlock does. Beech’s presence may be further favored by its virtual immunity to deer browsing. Nothing eats it. American beech is classed as very tolerant of shade. In some parts of its range, beech is the most tolerant species. Its tolerance is partly due to its very low respiration rate and the quick response of the stomata, which open when light suddenly increases and rapidly close when light intensity diminishes. An early winter walk in the open woods is perhaps the best time to appreciate the austere American beech, with its rounded crown of many long-spreading and horizontal branches. The most distinguishing feature is the smooth, steel-gray bark that covers the straight trunk and branches like a tight skin. Even in old age, the beech retains its unique bark if it is a healthy tree. Unfortunately, this smoothness has always been irresistible to human scribes in parks, and the bark is usually disfigured by initials or romantic carvings that can remain for the life of the tree. This permanent, arboreal record-keeping is made possible by the rapid formation of wound cork (the tree's equivalent to a scab that forms over skinned knees). Tears, cuts, or incisions in the thin bark are quickly sealed over by the cork cambium, leaving distinctive scars. One of the oldest scars on an American beech was made by Daniel Boone: "D. Boone cilled a bar on tree in year 1760." This was on a beech tree on the old stage road between Blountsville and Jonesboro, Tennessee. The tree fell in 1916 and had a girth of 28-1/2 feet. The Forest Service estimated the tree's age to be 365 years, and perhaps it had been fully two centuries old—even before Daniel Boone inscribed it. This carving was authenticated as early as the mid-1800s, and the tree trunk section is now in the possession of The Filson Historical Society in Louisville, on display. Unfortunately, we will not be seeing many more of the smooth skinned, light bluish-gray, mature beech trees’ bark hereabouts because of a tragic affliction. Cankers are produced by trees in response to an introduced fungus called beech bark disease (Nectria coccinea var. Faginata), which enters through tiny feeding wounds made by a small, yellowish, sap-sucking insect called the beech scale (Cryptococcus fagisuga). The scale insect’s fungus was accidentally introduced on European beech nursery stock into North America at Halifax, Nova Scotia before 1900. The native American beech has no natural resistance to either one, so “beech bark disease” and “beech scale” moved westward as a wave. In 1961, they were found in the last uninfected county in New Brunswick and now occur throughout eastern Canada to Quebec and into Ontario, all of New England, New York, and lately as far south as North Carolina and west to Michigan. Accounts from Europe indicate that the disease was killing beech there before 1849. The scale insect, readily visible on the trees, was considered the cause of death until 1914, when it was learned, that a fungus, then identified as Nectria ditissima Tul., infected trees infested by the scale. By 1932, the scale’s associated nectria fungus was killing trees throughout the mature beech areas of the Maritime Provinces and in localized areas of eastern and south central Maine. In addition, isolated infestations of scale were occurring in southwestern Maine and eastern Massachusetts. I remember seeing beautiful stands of beech above our UNH Forestry Camp in Passaconaway in 1964 that had yet to be infected with the fungus. Now, it is hard to come across individual trees in the woods that are uninfected. I still have some, and keep those trees freed from competition so that they will grow healthy. Eventually genetic immunity will arise from those trees that survive this onslaught. Dave Eastman also broadcasts “Country Ecology” four times weekly over WMWV 93.5 fm.

Late season fishing The weather has been so nice the last few days it is hard not to think about going fishing. Most anglers have put away their gear by now, however, there are still Bill Thompson a few out there who are still fishing and I might add catching. I got a call from a friend last Sunday morning with a hot tip on where some good sized brook trout could be found. In fact, he was calling from the location and his companion was fighting a trout as we spoke. Right about now, should my friend be reading this, he is cringing with the thought that I might give up this spot in the next few lines. Rest easy my friend your secret is safe. I should point out that this friend was actually calling my wife Janet and I just happened to pick up her phone. Obviously, his first thought was that I could not be trusted and right away would divulge the location. Most anglers assume that the fishing season closed Oct. 15 and for the most part it has. There are, however, a number of lakes and ponds across the state that do remain open year round. A quick look at the Fish and Game website or the rule book will give you the complete list. A great many of these waters are stocked in the fall just for this extended season. For years most of these lakes existed in a gray area as far as the legality of fishing. Most were thought of as warm water lakes and presumed open as there is no closed season on bass even though many of them did have populations of trout. A few years ago the state finally ended the confusion and declared them open for fishing. My friend, Nate Hill, has continued to fish all season and in fact has been quite successful in the last few weeks. In deference to Nate I will keep his destinations a secret as well. A few weeks ago, Nate made it a point to ski in the morning and then fish in the afternoon. I am not sure how good the skiing was, but I do know that he did catch fish. Unfortunately, I have not found the time to go fishing myself. Should the time become available I am sure that the first destination on my list would be the Isinglass River. I have had good fishing there the last two years in the late fall. One of the best spots to access the Isinglass is in Gonic. Waste Management maintains a network of trails along the river giving easy access to anglers. Despite the fact that the area is quite urban, the river is far enough away from the road to give the feel of remoteness. The river is stocked in the fall by a private group known as the Three Rivers Association. In the event that you have some free time during the busy holiday season my advice is go fishing for an hour or two. I am positive that the time will be well spent. See you on the river.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams
DILBERT
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re a giver. But you also know that if you give too much up front, no one will be interested. And people would rather pay something than get it for free. So you’ll make people work a little for your offerings, and everyone benefits. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll follow through with a thankless job. You know that no one will give you money, a trophy or even a cookie for this. But you don’t care. You’re doing it for personal reasons, and the reward will be significant, if only to you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are some behaviors you repeat that just don’t make sense. But you’re about to get to the bottom of this, and you’ll soon exercise greater control over the matter. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Aquarius musician and composer Snuffy Walden said, “Music is the answer. Does the question really matter?” Today you’ll use music to get into the optimum mood and solve your problem. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You need attention, and you’ll get it. Realizing that you need it (instead of denying this fact because you think you shouldn’t) will help you work in positive and constructive ways for the right kind of attention. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 3). There will be a fantastic addition to your home life. You’ll take your time getting to know people, and much success springs from this approach. In January, you’ll shoot for a particular aim, and it will feel so right. Someone falls in love with your winning ways this coming spring. You’ll love how your work is presented in May. Aries and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 25, 1, 29 and 19.
Get Fuzzy
ARIES (March 21-April 19). If only you could process information like a robot, without attaching emotional meaning to everything. But it turns out all those feelings, as inefficient as they may be, are what make you irresistible to a certain someone. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can’t be upset and have hope and optimism at the same time. Let yourself feel the upset and move through it -- it won’t last long. Then you can reclaim your hope and optimism. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll come to a juncture you’ve seen before. You’ll make a choice that’s better for you this time. It won’t be easier, but it will make everything lighter and brighter in the end. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Peer pressure isn’t just for schoolchildren. You’ll feel a subtle strain of it among adults. It will appear that many around you share the same beliefs and attitudes -- or do they? Some are merely succumbing to suggestion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sometimes it’s OK to stop striving to live up to your potential. What if you simply stayed put? You won’t be able to relax for too long, but whatever comfort you can manage will give you much needed perspective. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be given a lot of raw ingredients and not too much instruction as to how they should all go together. This is good news. You’re free to create. It will be what you make it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You respect your elders; you always have. You may not always have had the proper manners, attention and awareness to express your respect like you do now, though. So in some way, you’ll feel like you’re making up for that.

Yesterday’s Answer
THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, December 3, 2011— Page 35
Today is Saturday, Dec. 3, the 337th day of 2011. There are 28 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 3, 1911, Italian film composer Nino Rota, known for scoring works by such directors as Federico Fellini and Luchino Visconti, as well as the first two “Godfather” movies, was born in Milan. On this date: In 1810, British forces captured Mauritius from the French, who had renamed the island nation off southeast Africa “Ile de France.” In 1818, Illinois was admitted as the 21st state. In 1828, Andrew Jackson was elected president of the United States by the Electoral College. In 1833, Oberlin College in Ohio — the first truly coeducational school of higher learning in the United States — began holding classes. In 1925, George Gershwin’s Concerto in F had its world premiere at New York’s Carnegie Hall, with Gershwin at the piano. In 1947, the Tennessee Williams play “A Streetcar Named Desire” opened on Broadway. In 1967, surgeons in Cape Town, South Africa led by Dr. Christiaan Barnard performed the first human heart transplant on Louis Washkansky, who lived 18 days with the new heart. In 1979, 11 people were killed in a crush of fans at Cincinnati’s Riverfront Coliseum, where the British rock group The Who was performing. In 1991, radicals in Lebanon released American hostage Alann (cq) Steen, who’d been held captive nearly five years. One year ago: During a surprise holiday-season visit to Afghanistan, President Barack Obama told cheering U.S. troops at Bagram Air Field they were succeeding in their mission fighting terrorism; however, foul weather prevented Obama from meeting with President Hamid Karzai in Kabul to address frayed relations. Today’s Birthdays: Singer Andy Williams is 84. Movie director Jean-Luc Godard is 81. Actor Nicolas Coster is 78. Actress Mary Alice is 70. Rock singer Ozzy Osbourne is 63. Actress Heather Menzies is 62. Rock singer Mickey Thomas is 62. Actor Steven Culp is 56. Actress Daryl Hannah is 51. Actress Julianne Moore is 51. Olympic gold medal figure skater Katarina Witt is 46. Actor Brendan Fraser is 43. Singer Montell Jordan is 43. Actor Royale Watkins is 42. Actor Bruno Campos is 38. Actress Holly Marie Combs is 38. Actress Lauren Roman is 36. Pop-rock singer Daniel Bedingfield is 32. Actress Anna Chlumsky is 31. Actor Brian Bonsall is 30. Pop/rock singer-songwriter Andy Grammer is 28. Actress Amanda Seyfried is 26. Actor Michael Angarano is 24. Actor Jake T. Austin is 17.

Help Wanted by Abigail Van Buren
HARD-WORKING GIRL DISAPPOINTED BY MOTHER’S LACK OF GRATITUDE
DEAR ABBY: I’m a 12-year-old girl who has a problem with my mom. Once a week we clean the house, which is fairly large. Even when I do a good job on every room my mom never says, “Nice job,” “Good work,” or even a simple “Thanks.” It hurts my feelings because I thank her for all the things she does for me. Am I wrong to want or expect compliments in return? -- NEVER THANKED IN OREGON DEAR NEVER THANKED: No, you’re not wrong. I don’t know anyone of any age who doesn’t crave positive reinforcement. Have you mentioned to your mother how this makes you feel? Because if you haven’t, you’re expressing your disappointment to the wrong person. DEAR ABBY: I’m 15 and my parents have decided they want to have another kid. Shouldn’t parents talk to their other children about this? None of us were asked for our opinion -- we were just informed. Mom has had health problems almost my entire life, so I had to grow up extremely fast. I watched her have a seizure while we were out shopping, and she was often in the hospital. I don’t want another child to go through this, too. When I say something I’m told I’m being selfish and rude. This new baby is already loved more because my dad hopes she will be better than me. Am I wrong to feel this is unfair? -- UNHAPPY TEEN IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DEAR UNHAPPY TEEN: Fairness may not enter into it at all. The reason you and your siblings were not asked for input about your mother having another child may be that the baby

Administrative / Sales Support
was as much a surprise to your parents as it is to all of you. Your complaining won’t improve the situation, which may be why you’ve been told you need an attitude adjustment. You say you grew up extremely fast. Well, it’s time to accelerate the process even more. This isn’t a competition for your parents’ love. I’m sure they love all of you and they’d show it if you stopped being self-centered. Please give it some thought. DEAR ABBY: Every year we send a holiday letter along with our greeting cards. The letter usually highlights events of immediate family members from the past year. This year there is a problem. Our 22-year-old son, “Dexter,” is in jail on burglary charges related to a drug problem. Many of our friends and relatives already know about this, but others are not aware. Our son’s siblings are doing well and we like to report on their activities. However, we are confused concerning Dexter. We really cannot send the holiday letter and leave him out, but neither can we fabricate a story concerning his status. Telling the truth would be informational but also awkward. We would appreciate your advice. -- HOLIDAY LETTER WRITER DEAR LETTER WRITER: Write the letter as you usually would, and when you get to your incarcerated son, say: “Dexter has taken some time to rethink his future. He sends you all his love.” You do not have to go into any more detail or belabor the point.

Library’s art show features paintings by Dorothy Rogers
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Christmas is right around the corner and the Christmas craft fair at Madison Elementary School will be held on Saturday, Dec. 3, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Madison Library’s art show for the months of November and December features paintings by Madison resident Dorothy Rogers. Painting in watercolor and oils, Rogers is an excellent draftsman whose work highlights details that make the everyday become unique and special. The art show is on display in the library’s Chick Room, and can be visited during the library’s open hours. The library’s Book Group will meet again on Tuesday, Dec. 6, at 7 p.m. to discuss Stewart O’Nan’s “Last Night at the Lobster.” Copies of this short novel, set at Christmastime, can be borrowed at the library. The Children’s Literacy Foundation has made a grant of 122 new children’s books to the Madison Library. On Nov. 21, storyteller Duncan MacDougall will visit the Madison Elementary School and introduce the books to the children. Stop by the library and come check out some new books to share with a child. Anyone interested in Madison history and helping with the library’s Local History Project is invited to come to a meeting at the library on Nov. 30 at 2 p.m. With the stress of the Holiday Season upon us Kripalu Yoga might just be the antidote. Give yourself the gift of 90-minutes a week to let go of the busyness of the season by toning
the body, relaxing the mind; bringing mind, body and spirit into a state of harmony and balance. The 90-minute multi-level classes begin with a meditative centering, breathing exercises and warm-up movements to prepare for yoga postures. The heart of each class is a sequence of postures that stretch, strengthen and balance the body. While performing the postures; Sharon pays particular attention to body alignment, promoting the use of yoga blocks and ties to assist the student. Each session ends with deep relaxation and meditation. Sharon Boggess M.Ed is holding classes at the Chick Room in the Madison Public Library on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 8:30 to 10 a.m. The fee is $12 per class or $100 for a 10-class coupon book with no expiration dates. Those attending are asked to wear loose, comfortable clothing. For more information contact Sharon at 367-9911. News from Mike Hathaway that they will be announcing new programs soon for the Hypnosis Center. The first one will be a 4-week book discussion group led by Barbara Christina, starting Nov. 29. She would like to begin a book discussion for four Tuesdays on Ron Roth's book Prayer and the Five Stages of Healing. The book may be obtained at ronroth.com under books; or she can order books for those who are interested. see MADISON page 44

Spread some Christmas-time Cheer with a Double-Sized Holiday Ad That’s right. The Sun will double the size of any ad through New Year’s as long as the ad includes a picture and a Holiday message. 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 value. Bigger ads more suitable for businesses and organizations will also be doubled. 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.
So get the camera out and spread some Holiday Cheer.

Local support group will participate in Worldwide Candle Lighting Dec. 11 MADISON — The Mount Washington Valley chapter of The Compassionate Friends, a local support group for parents, grandparents, and siblings, who have suffered the death of a child, will hold their fourth annual Worldwide Candle Lighting Service on Sunday, Dec. 11, at 7 p.m. This service helps families as they remember and honor the memory of their children, helping to lighten their spirits as they try to get through the holiday season. The service will be held at the Madison Church on Route 113 in Madison with special readings, special music, reading of names of the children and lighting of candles. This special service welcomes all friends and families to join in. Following the service there will be light refreshments and fellowship. The Compassionate Friends unites family and friends around the globe in lighting candles for one hour to honor and remember children who have died at any age from any cause. As candles are lit at 7 p.m. local time, creating a virtual wave of light, hundreds of thousands of persons commemorate and honor the memory of children in a way that transcends all ethnic, cultural, religious, and political boundaries. Now believed to be the largest mass candle lighting on the globe the Worldwide Candle Lighting, a gift to the bereavement community from The Compassionate Friends, creates a virtual 24-hour wave of light as it moves from time zone to time zone. Hundreds of formal candle lighting events are held and thousands of informal candle lightings are conducted in homes as families gather in quiet remembrance of children who have died, but will never be forgotten.

REAL ESTATE CORNER
Selling your home during the holidays
HOME OF THE WEEK
BY JASON ROBIE Most people’s first reaction to listing their home this time of year is not a positive one. Thoughts of snow, regardless of how much we may love it, also bring images (and the reality!) of muddy boots in our homes, open doors and obligatory clean and safe walkways. All the while, we assume the buyers are nestled in their warm homes not wanting to leave. There is no question that a nice warm summer day is a preferable setting for spending a few hours viewing potential homes to purchase. But we strongly feel the holidays bring a special set of benefits that should not be overlooked. A couple weeks ago we talked about setting up your home for the holidays and we talked about including all of the senses to set this “theme." What better way to make the most of all that hard work? Most people have fond memories of this time of year including decorated homes with lights and garland. Combine that with the smells of cinnamon and spices and the senses are sent into overdrive. That whole environment teems with thoughts of “home” and “family” and encourages that strong nesting instinct for all. Very often folks are coming back to where they grew up during the holidays. If they are thinking of moving back, now is the time they will be looking at houses. You have learned over the years that people buy with emotion. This is a great time to make the most of that and present a warm, inviting and festively decorated home. We have also seen a trend that both buyers and sellers taking action during this time of year tend to be a more serious bunch. Traditionally people close their doors before Thanksgiving and don’t come out again until mid-January. This is a time for family, year-end wrap-ups and preparation for winter. People out there taking the time and effort required to buy or sell a home are going to be more serious. Availability is critical during this time as well. We encourage all of our sellers to accept all invitations for showings and don’t put time limits on them. The easier you make it for those buyers, the more likely they will be to accept. While this is clearly good advice any time of the year, the expectation during the holidays is that the homes won’t be available. If you can buck that notion and encourage all showings, you are more likely to capture more opportunities. Since people tend to be vacationing or at least taking a few days off during this time of year, they tend to have more free time. Weekends and evenings are no longer the only time people have to look at houses. This is a great time to take advantage of their free time and make sure your home is available and open as often as possible. The opportunity for buyers to visit an open house is great now than in most other times of the year. Why not throw some cookies in the oven and give it a shot? We all know that any kind of sales is a numbers game. The more people walking through your door, the better your chances are you will find a buyer. I was raised in a home where we took our shoes off before making it past the front door. If you’re like me, you want to keep muddy boots and shoes off your floors and carpets. A great tip for showings is to invest in some disposable booties that people can wear as they walk through your home. It is far more convenient for those wearing lace-up boots and will show that you have taken good care of your home for the new owners! We always encourage potential buyers to get see ROBIE page 47
Country living close to the village Today’s Home of the Week is a three-bedroom home situated on nearly 1.8 acres in Fryeburg.
FRYEBURG — This executive-style cape is ideal for those who want a country location but still want to be close to Fryeburg Village and Fryeburg Academy. Set well back on a quiet country lane on 1.79 acres, one can enjoy the peace and quiet inspired by such a setting. A short walk can take you to the “Frog Alley” covered bridge or the shores of Kezar Pond, while Shawnee Ski Peak is only five minutes away. Step into this home and you are greeted by a spacious kitchen with gorgeous Butterwood floors with a brick hearth to warm you in the winter months. French doors open to a pleasant deck featuring lots of sunshine and a Shaker-style garden area. Returning inside, by way of a formal front-door entrance, one enters a generous formal dining area which in turn takes you into the living room. Continuing on, one passes an office/study room and a full bath with a first-floor laundry before returning to the kitchen. An oak staircase, with sunlight pouring in from a dormer window in the hallway, takes you to a full dormered second floor featuring two bedrooms, a full bath and a huge master bedroom with double-door his-and-her closets as well as an adjoining room for hobbies, home arts, private sitting room, etc. Completing your tour, you find a large and dry full basement, two-car garage with a whole loft storage area above, a large side shed for quick cover storage and a charming garden house. The home is priced at $219,000. For an immediate showing, call listing agent Bill Reilly, of RE/MAX Country Living in Fryeburg at (207)890-6587 or e-mail reilly@fairpoint. net.

pre-approved. This not only gives the buyers a stronger sense of what they can afford, but gives the sellers the confidence that the people viewing their home have the capacity to buy it. I think this is even more critical during this time of year. If someone is going to take the time to open their home for showings, it is a strong sign of respect for their time that the buyers are willing, able and financially capable to make the purchase. The inventory also tends to shrink a bit right now. Many sellers are taking their homes off the market until spring or at least until after the New Year. If your home is open and you are willing to show at any time, you should see a nice uptick in traffic. After January, the number of homes on the market tends to jump up a
bit. This will not only create more competition for you, but will give buyers far more variety to choose from and lessen your chances of being found. Having said all that, keeping your home on the market during the holidays does not mean you have to take on the mentality of a B&B. You are still in control and can always adjust things to suit you needs. You can delay the closing for a few days as you celebrate the holidays. You can even limit the showings during those important family times. There is no need to toss reason out the window and sacrifice your whole season in an effort to sell. We suggest you simply keep yourself in the shoes of the buyers and make every effort to keep the process as simple easy for them.

Good Harvest Inn to become The Northland Lodge
The new owners of the Good Harvest Inn, Steven and Linda Dean of Bartlett, have announced plans to renovate the property they recently purchased from Reynaldo and Maggie Pena. The Deans plan on renaming the classic New England motel the “Northland Lodge” and remodeling it to create a mountain-themed experience. “We enjoy living in the Mount Washington Valley and we’re thrilled to have this opportunity to own and operate a business in this community," said the Deans.
The project was financed by First Colebrook Bank. Bridget Freudenberger, vice president of commercial loans, said, “We are very excited to work with another lodging property in the Mount Washington Valley. First Colebrook is committed to community banking and opportunities like this." The Deans were assisted in the purchase and negotiations by Paul Mayer, owner of Black Bear Realty.

The death of a family member may bring a barrage of sadness, a bequest of property — and a mortgage to repay. “It’s like getting a gift with a string,” said Judith D. Grimaldi, a principal of Grimaldi & Yeung, an estate planning law firm in Brooklyn. Thirty-one percent of people 65 and older, in fact, have home mortgages, according to the Census Bureau. “Most of my clients just end up selling the house,” Grimaldi said, “taking the proceeds and saying, ‘Thank you, Mom.’ ” But if the beneficiary wants to keep the home, just who is responsible for paying the mortgage until the estate is settled can fall into something of a “gray area,” said Deirdre R. Wheatley-Liss, a tax lawyer at Fein, Such, Kahn & Shepard in Parsippany, N.J. Under federal law, the mortgage must be allowed to remain in effect without changes when it passes from one person to another because of a death. This negates any due-on-sale clause in the mortgage. Who pays generally depends on the deceased relative’s will, and also who among the survivors has the ability to maintain the mortgage, the experts say. The will might stipulate, for example, that the heir receive the home, free and clear, Wheatley-Liss said, which may mean that the executor will be directed to sell stocks, bonds or other assets in the estate to pay off the mortgage. (If there is no will, state law will come into play.) The survivors, meanwhile, should look at the inheritance of property from a practical, economic perspective. “You need to look very strongly at whether you can afford to maintain the mortgage and maintain the property,” Wheatley-Liss said. Although there may be some emotional attachment to the home, having it appraised can help determine whether it’s worth keeping. “The question would always be: ‘Are you protecting equity?’ ” said Michael McHugh, the president and chief executive of Continental Home Loans in Melville, N.Y. An estate lawyer or financial adviser can provide advice on estate taxes and other expenses associated with the property. The survivors should contact the lender early on to let it know that the borrower has died and that they are the heirs, or the executor of the estate, and to determine the loan’s status. McHugh suggests sending the lender a copy of the death certificate and a letter from the estate’s lawyer. see INHERIT page 50

years as a local commercial and residential Realtor. “Even in a tight financial market, matching buyers with great business plans and vision with well managed and maintained properties can result in a win/ win for everybody involved. This was a perfect pairing and shows that there are great opportunities out there," Mayer said. The Penas and their two children had owned the inn since the spring of 2004. The inn has a large owner’s quarters, 14 guest rooms, a main building with a charming reception area with a pine cathedral ceiling and an in-ground pool. “The Deans will bring some innovative ideas into the business, taking it to another level. We wish them success and happiness," said the Penas. The property sits on 3.9 acres of prime commercial property on Route 16/302, just north of North Conway. The property was represented by Antonella Bliss, owner of Coldwell Banker Wight Realty, an innkeeper and Realtor in the valley for over 17 years. “The Mount Washington Valley has always had a very strong hospitality interest," said Antonella Bliss. "It's fantastic to see renewed enthusiasm, innovation, and investment in our local economy."

Shrewd buyers eager to get a home for a song have to be willing to play real estate limbo — just without going so low that the delicate dance of negotiations comes to a halt. So when it comes to making a low offer on a desired home, how low is "too low?" The answer depends on the property and local market, said Mark Madden, agent at Century 21 Commonwealth in Boston. "In our market, lowball offers are more likely used when a property has lingered on the market and become stale because it was overpriced from the beginning. But there is a point when a buyer's lowball offer attempts can be very insulting and unrealistic in the minds of the seller and the seller's agent."

It is also important to determine whether the deceased relative has stayed current on the property taxes, if they are not paid through the lender. But what if the mortgage is delinquent — overlooked in a final illness? If the payments are behind by 60 days or so, it is possible to catch up. If it’s 90 or more days late, the property may already be in foreclosure proceedings, McHugh said. Depending on state laws and lender practices, the lender could either demand full payment of
starting offer at about 17 percent below asking price, on average, on a privately owned home; for a new home development residence or bankowned home, he suggested asking as low as 28 percent below asking price. "Rather than just throwing a number out there, the best strategy consists of making a compliment, explaining why the offer is much lower than the asking price, and eventually offering something of value," says Max Dufour, principal at SunGard Consulting Services in Boston. While you don't want to completely disgust a seller with an unreasonable first offer, you actually want your first offer to not be accepted, said Ravasini. If the seller accepts your first offer, that may be a red flag that there's something wrong with the property. © CTW Features all the back payments, or continue with the foreclosure. Some family members ask about whether they can “walk away” from the property if it is underwater, or worth less than the mortgage balance, Grimaldi said, noting that such requests are more common in this shaky economy. They can do this and allow the foreclosure to show up as the estate’s responsibility and record, she said. But care is needed if the estate has other assets, like a second home or an investment portfolio, which the lender could come after to satisfy the debt.
