Land acquired for Albany Town Forest 310 acres off the Kancamagus Highway purchased for $800,000

ALBANY — After a four-year effort, Albany has acquired 310 acres for a town forest. The $800,000 cost came from a variety of sources, including $149,000 that Albany voters approved in 2010. The land was purchased from the Ken-

nett Company. The Trust for Public Land, the state and the town announced the acquisition Monday. The 310 acres of land, off the Kancamagus Highway, will remain intact, preserving the views entering the White Mountain

National Forest, which attracts more than six million visitors annually. The town's purchase of 310 acres establishes the Albany Town Forest, which will generate revenue through sustainable see ALBANY page 11

County commissioners planned to use the old building for new nursing home's wood pellet heating system, laundry and maintenance. The

College exaggerated SAT figures (NY Times) — Claremont McKenna College, a small, prestigious California school, said Monday that for the past six years, it has submitted false SAT scores to publications like U.S. News & World Report that use the data in widely followed college rankings. In a message e-mailed to college staff members and students, Claremont McKenna’s president since 1999, Pamela B. Gann, wrote that “a senior administrator” had taken sole responsibility for falsifying the scores, admitted doing so since 2005, and resigned his post. People briefed on the matter said that the administrator was Richard C. Vos, vice president and dean of admissions, whose name was removed in the last few days from the college’s online list of top officials. Vos, reached at his home Monday night, said: “No comment. It’s an internal personnel matter.” The critical reading and math scores reported to U.S. News and others “were generally inflated by an average of 10-20 points each,” Ms. Gann wrote. For the class that entered the school in September 2010 — the most recent set of figures made public — the combined median score of 1,400 was reported as 1,410, she said, while the 75th percentile score of 1,480 was reported as 1,510.

Report says budget deficit tops $1 trillion, but is falling

Russia stands in way of U.N. call for Assad to step down

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The United States economy will remain sluggish for the next few years, with unemployment high, but budget deficits are starting to come down, the Congressional Budget Office said on Tuesday in its latest formal outlook. The deficit in the current fiscal year is expected to be $1.1 trillion, the budget office

said, the fourth year in which it would exceed $1 trillion. But it just might be the last such year, at least for a while. Unless Congress passes new legislation changing the course on spending or taxation — changes that are a distinct possibility, but no basis for a forecast — projected deficits would “drop markedly” starting next year and for a decade

to come. That is because current laws would allow the Bush-era tax cuts to expire, the alternative minimum tax to reach ever more taxpayers and federal spending to decline modestly under newly imposed spending caps, at least until the aging of the population and rising costs for health care tilt the balance of spending upward again.

U.S.: Al Qaeda likely to fragment WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The nation’s top intelligence official said on Tuesday that continued pressure from the United States and its allies will likely reduce Al Qaeda’s core leadership in Pakistan to “largely symbolic importance” over the next two to three years as the terrorist organization fragments into more regionally focused groups and homegrown extremists. The assessment by the official, James R. Clapper, the director of national intelligence, added new detail to similar analyses by American counterterrorism officials in recent months. They were contained in prepared remarks to the Senate Intel-

ligence Committee at the panel’s annual hearing to review global threats to the United States. Clapper also addressed possible threats from Iran as tensions with that country over its nuclear program escalate. He said that the alleged Iranian plot last year to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States “shows that some Iranian officials — probably including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — have changed their calculus and are now more willing to conduct an attack in the United States in response to real or perceived US actions that threaten the regime.”

UNITED NATIONS (NY Times) — The tensions over the forces for change erupting across the Middle East were coming to a head here on Tuesday as Arab and Western states confronted Russia over its refusal to condemn the Syrian government for its violent suppression of popular protests. In the hours leading up to the diplomatic duel in the Security Council, the steady drumbeat of violence continued unabated in Syria, where government forces pushed rebels back from strongholds near Damascus. With a draft Security Council resolution put on the table by Morocco that calls for President Bashar alAssad of Syria to step aside to speed a democratic transition, Russia stressed its opposition to any such plan, even while attempting to distance Moscow from the man himself. “The Russian policy is not about asking someone to step down; regime change is not our profession,” Sergey V. Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, said.

CONCORD — In his final State of the State address, Gov. John Lynch said New Hampshire needs to put people back to work and called for increased education funding. Lynch said lawmakers need to do more to work together to solve the problems of the state. “There’s a harshness in the air in the tone and nature of our communication, and particularly within this building, that’s not healthy for our people or our democracy,” Lynch said. “We can disagree without demonizing one another.” The governor spent much of the address talking about jobs, saying the state can’t rest until everyone who wants a job has one. Lynch said touted job-training programs that keep workers in the manufacturing sector up-todate on the latest technology. He also talked about changes over the past few years that have been made in education, including making kindergarten available to every community and raising the dropout age from 16 to 18. But to continue making strides in education, the governor said, the state needs to direct aid to communities and children with the greatest need. In order to do that, Lynch called for a constitutional amendment that would remove the court’s role from education. “I remain committed to working

with any legislator who shares the goal of an amendment that allows us to target state education aid and affirms the state’s responsibility to our schools,” he said. He also talked about the budget issues facing the state, taking the Legislature to task for, among other things, cutting the tobacco tax, calling it nonsensical and saying it has made it more difficult to balance the budget. “We should roll it back and use the revenue to invest in our economic future,” he said. Lynch got strong applause from the gallery and Democratic lawmakers when he blasted Republican efforts to pass right-to-work legislation and other restrictions on union activities. “I respect the contributions of all of our workers, and I will never take away their right to organize,” he said. He also indicated he would oppose attempts to repeal same-sex marriage in New Hampshire. “New Hampshire has a long and proud tradition of fighting for the rights of all people and a tradition of leaving people alone to pursue their own happiness,” he said. “As governor, I intend to uphold that centuries-old tradition. I will stand firm against any legislation that would strip any of our citizens of their civil rights.”

Legislators to weigh ‘Caylee’ bill BY TED SIEFER THE UNION LEADER

CONCORD — Lawmakers are set to weigh a bill today that would require parents and guardians to report within 24 hours to law enforcement authorities when a child dies or goes missing. The bill, HB 1709, was inspired by the trial in Florida last year of Casey Anthony, who was acquitted of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee after not reporting her missing for a month. The bill states that “any person who has primary responsibility for the care and supervision of a child under 12 years of age and is unable to determine the location of the child for a period of at least 24 hours shall notify the local law enforcement agency.” The child’s death also must be reported.

“When kids aren’t reported missing it gives (perpetrators) enough time to clean up the evidence,” said Rep. Alfred Baldasaro, R- Londonderry, one of the bill’s sponsors. “Every time a child goes missing, it should be reported.” The law would apply not only to parents and legal guardians, but anyone who has primary responsibility for a child at the time he or she disappears, such as a day care worker. The Senate will take up a similar version of the bill at a hearing on Thursday. Violating the law as it is currently written would be considered a Class A misdemeanor. House Majority Leader D.J. Bettencourt acknowledged the penalty may need to be strengthened. “That was the suggestion of the attorney general’s office,” he said. “I will be suggesting we look hard at making a harsher penalty.”

N.H. industry group supports health insurance exchange BY DENNIS PAISTE THE UNION LEADER

MANCHESTER — A group of health insurers, businesses, chambers of commerce and the Business and Industry Association called Monday for the state Senate to pass a bill sponsored by Sen. Ray White, R-Bedford, to create a state health insurance exchange. “Whether or not business leaders supported the original intent and passage of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), they support being prepared and taking the necessary steps to plan for a statebased health insurance exchange should the ACA remain the law of the land,” the group said in a statement. Paula Rogers, government relations director for Anthem Blue CrossBlue Shield New Hampshire, which supports the bill, said in a telephone interview, “We think it’s crafted in an efficient manner to do the job that would need to be done under the Affordable Care Act,” she said. “It’s minimally intrusive to the competitive market; it can be disassembled in an orderly fashion if the Affordable Care Act provisions that pertain to it were found unconstitutional,” she said. The bill was tabled by the Senate earlier this month. This bill establishes the New Hampshire health benefit exchange as a public corporation. The bill also establishes an exchange board to provide procedures to facilitate the

Live E ntertainm ent Fri.: Tom D ean 4 :30 -8pm S at.:JoelCage 4 :30 -8pm S un.: Chuck O ’Connor 5:30 -8:30 pm

exchange’s purpose, which is to assist in the purchase and sale of qualified health plans and to meet the requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The insurance commissioner is granted rule-making authority for the purposes of the bill. In December, the Executive Council voted to reject a $333,000 exchange planning contract, and this month a House committee voted to return the $330,000 to the federal government. That would bring to $1 million the total being returned by Legislature. “The U.S. Supreme Court won’t hear the Obamacare case until March — it wouldn’t make sense to waste taxpayer money, federal or otherwise, on implementing a system that might be found unconstitutional,” he said. But exchange supporters said if the Affordable Care Act provisions concerning state exchanges are upheld New Hampshire will cede control to a federal exchange if doesn’t prepare now. BIA spokesman Adrienne Rupp said, “In business, you can’t just assume something is going to happen. You need to be prepared for contingencies. If the ACA is not overturned, if all or even parts are left intact, New Hampshire should be in a position to respond to those criteria in the ACA.” Bill sponsor White could not be reached immediately for comment. State Insurance Commissioner Roger Sevigny said, “It’s just my sort of caution that if we do nothing and the law stays as it is written, we’re going to have a federal exchange.

Lighting offer from N.H. Electric Cooperative To the editor: The truth as I know it: The courteous and constructive dialog resulting from this discussion has brought us to the following offer from N.H. Electric Co-op (paraphrased in bold). Option 1: Replace existing town owned metal halide decorative fixture with Co-op owned LED cobra head fixture at no charge with a resulting monthly wattage usage reduced dramatically. I believe this is the style that is now across from Conway Scenic Railroad, bordering Schouler Park and at the North Conway Fire Department, please look at that in the evening and then contact me at (603) 356-5701 ext. 303 or janice@mtwashingtonvalley.org with your thoughts. Please identify yourself as a resident of the town of Conway, a business owner on the strip or village, a business owner who pays property taxes to the Town of Conway or an interested party. Option 2: Retrofit existing town owned metal halide decorative fixture on the strip and the village with decorative LED technology fixtures at Mount Washington Valley Preservation Association (MWVPA) expense, taking down, putting up, disposal. Monthly cost would depend on the new

bulb and fixture at current rates with the co-op charging $150 an hour to complete the retrofit. This cost would be approximately $90,000. Questions: Confirm that NH Electric Co-op would be willing to provide option one for the decorative overhang lights which run from the “strip” to in front of The Colonial Motel and allow for option two for the “village.” Confirm that the selectmen will agree to LED decorative lights in the “village” and turn them all back on once completed. Confirm that the selectmen will agree to changing out the “strip” lights to cobra head LEDs and turn them all back on once completed. Confirm the timeline for this project and electrical savings for the town. Confirm that with all of the new information the MWVPA Board of Directors will vote to spend the funds on this project or on other projects that would beautify the village such as Pine Street improvements, Norcross Circle improvements or other’s not yet determined. For a first hand history of this discussion please watch Valley Vision Channel 3’s coverage of the selectman’s meetings for Jan. 3 and 24.

If the Rule of Law Fails

We Americans believe that we are governed by the rule of law and not the arbitrary rule of men who use force in violation of our protected rights. We feel safe because we believe this will always be so. We consent to the laws we’re governed by before they’re enforced. In other countries there is no such consent. The difference is the bright line that divides a society authorized by virtue of consent from one compelled by force. Our Declaration of Independence states, “That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” Thus the express purpose of our government is to protect our inherent rights and to do so within the limits of authority given it. The Declaration teaches us that if our government tries to compel us in violation of our rights, it is our duty to alter or abolish it. If it operates beyond its limited authority and we do nothing, we are agreeing to be violated. Gradually, we are becoming the consensual victims of our government. Our willingness to accommodate its expanding violations of our protected rights, whether because of laziness, ignorance, or fear, motivates and encourages more of the same. Neither our heritage nor the long chain of suffering and struggle that secured to us those rights is any assurance that they will remain. Each generation is responsible to keep preserve the principles and practices that sustain the rule of law for posterity. Sadly, the present generation is failing in that responsibility. The sure price of that failure will be inestimably tragic for countless ensuing generations. Our tradition of law is centuries old. The struggle for it predates the Magna Carta of 1215, when it was first written into English law. For the next five centuries it was advance through the common law practices that are the foundation of our Republic. Its basic principles are so much a part of our heritage that we carelessly take for granted that those accused are innocent until proven guilty; that the burden of proof lies upon the accuser; that everyone must be afforded due process; that everyone has the right to question their accuser, and much else. It is unimaginable to us that the law of natural selection, where the strong rule the weak, should ever become the law by which we are governed. Yet history is full of tragic examples where the law was not enforced by the consent of the people, but by the will of official authority, e.g. Joseph Stalin, Adolph Hitler, Mao Tse-tung, and Saddam Hussein. ••• In 2008, I was drinking coffee at the Conway Cafe; beside a young mother who was worrying that her son might be called up to fight in the “war” in Afghanistan. She hoped that the elections would produce a change that would end the “wars.” I remarked that we weren’t actually in a “war” per se. She asked what I meant. I told her that under the Constitution, it’s the exclusive responsibility of Congress,

and no other branch, to declare war. Since Congress hasn’t done so since June 5, 1942, then Constitutionallyspeaking, we’re not at “war,” despite the fact that we’re engaged in many armed conflicts. “Well,” she said, “the Constitution is out of date and needs to be updated. The people who wrote it couldn’t anticipate what we’re dealing with.” I replied, “Sure they did ... I agree they couldn’t imagine modern conditions, but they understood better than anyone before or since the principles required for the orderly, peaceful operations of a society. Since human behavior hadn’t changed in all of recorded history, the Founders knew that people in the future would think, feel, and react to changing circumstances pretty much as they always had. They gave us a nation based on the principles that history suggested would make the most secure and peaceful society. They knew that principles govern circumstances, not the other way around. The founding documents embody practical principles that gave the world its most productive and progressive society, ever. First among those principles is the rule of law by consent of the people. By acquiescing when those in authority ignore or violate the principles of the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land, we are consenting to them moving our country toward tyranny or anarchy, the alternative, but inevitable results of bad government that the Founders struggled to contain within the limits of the Constitution.” “Well...” she responded, “I still think the Constitution needs to be rewritten to account for circumstances we face now. The people back then just couldn’t imagine the problems we have.” “Okay ... then we ought to toss out the Ten Commandments too ... ” “What! Why would you say such a thing?” She asked, rising from her seat, obviously stunned by the suggestion. “Well,” I responded, “if people living in this country 219 years ago, born on the same land, drawing from the same heritage we do, and obeying the same God Moses did, couldn’t anticipate our needs well enough to give us laws to guide us through what we’re facing, then how could nomads from an illiterate middle-eastern desert tribe do so using wisdom received over 4,000 years ago in a world of circumstances utterly alien to ours?” “That’s different ... ” She said. Really? How?

MOTHBALL from page one

county received federal grants for purchasing the boilers and piping the heat from the old building to Mountain View Community. Using the old home was supposedly cheaper than putting the boilers in the new nursing home. Lawmakers are still looking at what to do with the remaining space. Ideas range from tearing it down to renting portions to the private sector and the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension Service. In Carroll County government, a group of 14 state representatives, called the delegation, pass county budgets, which commissioners manage with help from department heads. Rep. Harry Merrow made a motion to "mothball" the old building until the end of the calendar year. That motion passed by a vote of 7-3. Then the question became what that motion actually meant. By the end of the five-hour meeting there were two more votes on the subject but still no clarity. "We don't know what the definition of mothballing is," said delegation chair Betsey Patten (R-Moultonborough) to a confused spectator at the end of the meeting. Rep. Frank McCarthy (R-Conway) made the motion to stop the installation of the two massive wood pellet boilers, which arrived on Monday. McCarthy accused the commission of paying for the installation twice. He insisted the contract to purchase the boilers from a company, called Biomass Commodities Corp., included all the installation, but the county commission awarded a $375,000 installation contract to another company called Bonnette, Page and Stone Corp., which over saw the construction of Mountain View Community. "I would hope that somebody would do something about this double equity — paying twice to have the same job done," said McCarthy. Commissioner Dorothy Solomon replied the commission isn't paying double for the same work. According to her, biomass is supposed to assemble

the boilers. Bonnette, Page and Stone is prepping the building and hooking the boilers up to various pipes and wires in the building. Commission chairman David Sorensen added that BPS was responsible for installing new doors, ripping up old tile and putting in a cement slab. The payback for the boilers is supposed to be six years. The boilers are supposed to reduce heat and hot water costs by 42 percent. "They are going in now, I hope they would continue to go in, get connected up and start saving the county some dollars," said Sorensen to the delegation. "If you don't want to save money that's up to you people." McCarthy was still undeterred by the commission's explanation. Commissioners added they already signed the contract with BPS and gave them a down payment. "I would ask that you hold off on any installation whatsoever with the Biomass pellet boiler because tomorrow, when I'm down for the State of the State address, I'm going to go over to the Attorney General's Office and I'm going to ask the Attorney General to conduct an investigation," said McCarthy. McCarthy's motion failed in a 5-5 vote. Later, Merrow made another motion to define mothballing to include the installation of the wood pellet boilers. Merrow's motion was also defeated by a vote of 5-5. It's unclear what would have happened if McCarthy's motion had passed. Prior to the motion's failure, Patten said the motion was at least "advisory" to the commission. At the end of the meeting McCarthy asked other lawmakers if they realized that the boiler installation was set to continue because his attempt to block it failed. "We didn't have enough (votes) to say 'yes' and we didn't have enough to say 'no,' said Patten. "We're not coming up with anything more than half of us really like." Rep. Joe Fleck (R-Wakefield) suggested the commissioners get a legal opinion on the installation contracts.

Generator article doesn't generate enough support to be put on ballot BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Selectmen rejected a special warrant article last Tuesday that would have let voters decide if they wanted to place a generator at the town emergency shelter. The generator question was the only special warrant article out of 15 selectmen reviewed that night that they rejected, and one of only two not to get unanimous approval. Selectmen Michael DiGregorio and David Weathers were the only two who voted in favor of passing the generator question onto the voters. If approved by voters, the article would have raised and appropriated $60,000 for a generator to be placed at the recreation center in Center Conway. The rec center got heavy use as an emergency shelter last year following Irene. The lack of a generator, however, has been a concern of emergency management director Steve Solomon for several years. He brought the issue up to selectmen just a few weeks ago, saying it represents a serious hole in the town's emergency preparedness plan. But his recommendation did not

“I think the town garage needs a generator more than the recreation center.” convince the board to let the voters weigh in. “I think the town garage needs a generator more than the recreation center,” selectman Larry Martin said, and in a pinch people could sleep there. The only other warrant to see any opposition was the police department’s warrant article looking to get permission to accept a grant that would pay for three years of a new officer so long as the town pays the fourth year. The grant is not imminent, but the department is looking for pre-approval so it can accept the grant if it is awarded. Selectman Weathers was the sole vote against. “I don’t like committing funds that far out,” he said, referring to the fourth year. “I’m voting no.” The 4-1 vote is not enough to keep the question off the ballot, so voters will get a chance to weigh in on the question in April.

timber harvesting while offering public access for recreation and connections to more than a mile of Swift River frontage. The project also sets aside 6.7 acres for use as a future Albany town center. "Acquiring this property for a town forest is a rich investment both for Albany and for the region," said Rodger Krussman, state director for the Trust for Public Land. "Town forests are a strong model for sustaining jobs, town revenue and tourism. Albany's new town forest will enhance the local economy and support recreation and tourism, and the Trust for Public Land is pleased to have played our part in helping Albany achieve its goals." With substantial stands of northern hardwoods, red oak, hemlock and white pine, the town of Albany now has a sustainable asset for investing in other community priorities, including the establishment of a new town center. "We would like to thank the citizens of Albany for their continued support of this project. After four years of effort, the town of Albany will have a 300-acre town forest to provide both open space, recreation and natural resources for the townspeople, area residents and visitors," said Rob Nadler, Albany Land Governance Board. "The successful purchase would have not been possible without the help from the seller, the Kennett Company, whose continued patience and accommodation over four years of difficult fund raising has helped make this project a reality." "This project is the culmination of the vision and perseverance of Albany's community leaders. After four years of working with public and private partners, I am thrilled to have played a part in helping establish the Albany Town Forest," said Ray Burton, New Hampshire executive councilor. "I would like to personally thank the dedicated staff of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation for helping attract federal transportation dollars to this effort and working closely with the town of Albany throughout this process." Funding for the $800,000 purchase of the Albany Town Forest property included $250,000 from the federal Public Lands Highways Discretionary Program. U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) were strong supporters of the project, which has been under way since 2009. Additional funding included $149,000 from the town of Albany, as approved by voters in March, 2010; $145,000 from the New Hampshire Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP); a $150,000 grant from the Open Space Institute's Community Forest Fund; funding from the New Hampshire Conservation Plate Program; and private donors. "This crucial tract of land serves as the gateway to the White Mountains for the two million people who drive on the Kancamagus Byway each year during their visits to the region. The acquisition will increase

public access for recreation in Albany and protect important scenic views," said Shaheen. "In addition to the significant impacts this project will have on outdoor recreation opportunities and the economic activity they generate in Albany, conserving the property will protect important wildlife habitat and water quality in the Swift River. This is great news for Albany, and I offer my congratulations to the town and its partners: the New Hampshire Department of Transportation and the Trust for Public Land." "Often referred to as the 'eastern gateway,' an estimated two million visitors drive on the byways into the national forest each year," said Ayotte. "These visitors not only enjoy the beautiful scenery but also are key contributors to the region's economy. This acquisition will expand public access to recreational resources while protecting scenic views." "We are grateful to our many partners, including the State of New Hampshire, New Hampshire congressional delegation, the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust, private donors, and of course, the town of Albany," added Krussman. LCHIP is an independent state authority that makes matching grants to N.H. communities and non-profits to conserve and preserve New Hampshire's most important natural, cultural and historic resources. Through this investment program, every $1 in state investment brings back more than five times local, private, federal funds. "LCHIP is delighted with the success of this project. We salute the vision and perseverance of the town of Albany in conceiving of this acquisition and finally making it a reality with the help of carefully selected and skilled partners. In addition to the many ecological, economic, recreational and community benefits of the acquisition, the view across the open fields toward the Presidentials, one of the scenic treasures of the White Mountains, will now be protected forever. The investment of state dollars through LCHIP has had a truly significant impact," said Dijit Taylor, LCHIP executive director. "N.H. Fish and Game is pleased to support the town and assist The Trust for Public Land in the success of the Albany Town Forest project. The project maintains a significant cold water fishery by protecting more than 8,000 feet along the Swift River, and the property conserves valuable wildlife resources with its floodplain forest, grassland and woodland habitats," said Charlie Bridges, Habitat and Diversity Programs administrator for N.H. Fish and Game Department. "In addition, the project's scenic value is outstanding, and public pedestrian access to the land and its resources is forever secured. The commitment of the citizens of the small town of Albany to the success of this project is truly inspirational." A conservation easement for the majority of the property has been conveyed to the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust, which will manage the terms of the easement. "As a Kennett High School student in the 1960s, I

ran and skied along the Swift River assuming that this beautiful forest would always be here. With 40 years hindsight it is particularly rewarding to see this assumption realized," said Tom Earle, Upper Saco Valley Land Trust president. "Congratulations to the citizens of Albany for recognizing the promise that this property holds as a town forest, as a place of recreation, and as the gateway of our much loved Kancamagus Highway. Thank you to all who have contributed their time and finances to help realize this vital conservation achievement. The Upper Saco Valley Land Trust looks forward to a strong partnership with the Town of Albany in stewarding this forest for this and all the generations to come." The property is at the junction of two national scenic byways, the Kancamagus Scenic Byway and the White Mountain Trail, which together feed access to the eastern gateway to the White Mountain National Forest. In addition to providing revenue to the town through sustainable harvesting, the town forest has important wildlife habitat, including floodplain forests that support migratory birds, globally imperiled Pine Barrens, and grasslands. The access to the Swift River, a major Saco River tributary, provides connections to a top fishery and valuable fishing resource. And the Albany Town Forest will maintain fishing, hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling trails and access. "By establishing a town forest, the citizens of Albany will directly steward and benefit from the resources of their forest through productive forestry, water quality protection and conservation of wildlife habitat," said Jennifer Melville, Open Space Institute. "It is a remarkable victory for this vibrant community." "The Albany Town Forest project was also supported by Tom Wagner, forest supervisor for the White Mountain National Forest, N.H. Executive Councilor Ray Burton, Chuck Henderson and the staff of U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Sean Thomas and the staff of U.S. Congressman Frank Guinta, and the staff of the N.H. Department of Transportation. And finally, the project would not have been possible without the dedicated work and effort of Gregg Caporossi, project manager for the Trust for Public Land," said Nadler. Over the last decade, the Trust for Public Land has worked with New England communities to conserve more than 24,000 acres of community forests in 12 communities as part of its Community Forest Program, and as part of its partnership with the Community Forest Collaborative. Trust for Public Land depends on the support of individuals, foundations, and corporations. Over 25 years in New Hampshire, the trust has protected more than 230,000 acres.

INVESTMENTS FOR THE REST OF US

Private equity: Why Mitt Romney seems too boring BY DAVID F. BROCHU, CFP Private equity, or at least Bain Capital’s brand of it, has been discussed a lot lately in news outlets across the nation. Mitt Romney, a leading Republican presidential candidate, has built his campaign on the idea that running Bain Capital (and the State of Massachusetts for one term) make him qualified to be our next president. One problem: While everyone knows what a governor does, few people really understand what a private equity firm does. If they did, Mitt's somewhat less than inspiring personalty would make perfect sense Private equity is one of the purest forms of capitalism. In general, private equity firms like Bain Capital establish pools of money collected from "qualified" investors — those who have in excess of $5,000,000.00 in investable assets. Typical private equity investors include college endowments; state and municipal pension plans and other non-profits, including union pension funds. The job of a private equity David F. Brochu firm is to deploy the investors’ money in companies that will grow and make the investors and the firm money. Unlike venture capital, which funds starts-ups, private equity firms most often invest in companies that are already up and running and need capital to grow and expand. Sometimes they just need management depth the company doesn’t have. That’s Bain's sweet spot. Private equity firms, like all good investment professionals, do not take risk; they manage the risk that comes along with the investments they make. The truly successful private equity managers are, in a word, boring. Investments are evaluated on their ability to earn a return. The particular industry or product manufactured is irrelevant, except for the characteristics of the sector the business occupies in the economy. What we see as people, places, things and promises are, to the private equity manager, either opportunities for profit or problems to be solved. The successful private equity manager is dispassionate, calm and calculating. He is not so much a business builder (though he'll do that if necessary) as he is a financial engineer, breaking down and reassembling the parts of a company in an attempt to make it more profitable. Other considerations are, by necessity, secondary, if they’re considerations at all. It takes a steady hand to shepherd such a business, one that doesn't get too high with the highs or low with the lows. A person who can eliminate jobs or add them, depending on their contribution to the bottom line. A man who can grow a company or bury it without stopping to shed a tear for those injured. Private equity is neither good nor bad. It is like capitalism itself: completely amoral. If you believe that a person who thrives in that world would make a good president, then Mitt Romney's your guy. The rest of us can invest in private equity any see BROCHU page 14

Maggie Driscoll and Judy Holmes enter the world of soft outerwear BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

JACKSON — Fun, funky and fuzzy New England-made cool weather accessories. That best describes the line of fluffy outdoor apparel that is being designed, made and marketed by photographer/author Judy Holmes of Jackson and business partner Maggie Driscoll of Glen under their new business, GuSStuff U.S.A. The products are made from a soft and plush micro-fiber fabric that along with its funky design, sets it apart from competitors, note Holmes and Driscoll.

“Our fabric is the softest anywhere — by comparison, it makes Turtle Fur feel like Brillo Pads,” said Holmes, an accomplished author and speaker who is a part-time resident of Jackson. (She and husband Jim Progin live in the old base lodge of the former Tyrol ski area, and also own a home on Mount Desert Island, Maine. They also spend part of the winter in Beaver Creek, Colo.) The business is named after Holmes' and Progin's now deceased and much-beloved St. Bernard, Gus, who passed away at age 10 last summer.

Tax Time

Brian G. Kelsch, CPA

One of the most used tax deductions by Americans today are costs associated with debt on a personal residence incurred at the initial purchase or when refinanced. In most cases this deduction is taken on Schedule A of an individual’s 1040. Recent tax acts by Congress have changed what is allowed and not allowed. Here we look at the existing rules behind this deduction, as well as what its future may be in the face of proposed tax reforms. In most cases, all mortgage interest can be deducted from U.S. federal taxes, provided the homeowner itemizes deductions, is legally liable for the loan, and the interest is on a qualified home. As with any tax law it is never quite as simple as it first appears. There are two types of debt that generate tax-deductible interest. The first is debt that

was taken out in order to buy, build or improve your home. This type of debt is known as acquisition debt. The second type is debt that was taken out for other purposes and is known as equity debt. For debt incurred after Oct. 13, 1987 there are limitations on the debt that you may consider as tax deductible interest. If you are married filing jointly, the maximum amount of debt that can be incurred on your home in order for it to be deductible is $1.1 million. The acquisition debt can’t exceed $1 million and the remaining $100,000 is available for equity debt, generally in the form of a line of credit or home

RISKY BUSINESS

Pirates of the World Wide Web BY DAVE MASON With the explosion of debate this week over the “Stop Online Piracy Act” (SOPA) and the “Protect IP Act” (PIPA), digital content piracy has made its way to the forefront of the news media. Basically, an online pirate is someone who reproduces the work of another without permission to do so. Most everyone remembers the days of Napster, and the strict punishments for the unauthorized downloading of music. Most people who participate in the illegal download of content believe they will never be caught (or punished), but did you know that every time you upload or download content from the web, it can be traced directly back to you through your IP address? Not only could you be caught, yu could also find yourself caught up in a lawsuit. Most would agree that this type of downloading is illegal — and unacceptable — behavior. So what’s with all the debate over SOPA and PIPA? At the root of the discussion is the potential for abuse. Critics state that the language of these bills is too broad,

and, should copyright holders or the U.S. government desire, they could use the law to silence speech they disagree with. They state that these bills are less about protecting "intellectual property" than they are about censoring the Internet. Regardless of how the legal drama plays out, it’s important for you to understand the risk you take when downloading copyrighted material without permission. In addition, be aware that the liability limit offered through your homeowners policy does not provide coverage for online piracy, which means that should you (or one of your kids) get caught downloading the latest Lady Antebellum track from Limewire, you’d better not count on the policy to cover your legal defense costs. Time will tell exactly how the government is going to define piracy, and what it will look like. In the meantime, a word to the wise: Keep your treasure hunting legal.

equity loan. If you are single, these limits are half of married filing jointly filers. If you managed to follow that logic without getting confused, you are in good shape so far but don’t start counting your refunds dollars yet. There are additional rules. Even if you qualify for the deduction based on the amount of debt, you cannot take the deduction unless your mortgage is classified as secured debt, which means that your home must serve as collateral for the debt. If it is unsecured debt, it is considered a personal loan, and the interest on it is not deductible as mortgage interest. The next hurdle that you need to cross is ensuring that your property is a "qualified home." In order to meet this definition, the property must have sleeping, cooking and toilet facilities. Items that fit this definition can include your primary residence, a second home, a condominium, a mobile home, a house trailer or a boat. If you own multiple homes, you can deduct the interest from only one second home. In recent years, falling interest rates caused many homeowners to refinance their mortgages. Refinancing provides an opportunity to reduce monthly mortgage payments, reduce the term of the loan, or both. When refinancing is done without taking on additional debt, all interest generated by the mortgage remains tax deductible as it is still considered acquisition debt. However, if homeowners take a “cash out” refinance the amount greater than the acquisition debt is subject to the home equity debt limitations noted above. Also, certain points paid at closing are also deductible in the year paid or in certain circumstances need to amortized over the life of the loan.

In the event of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service, you will need to have a copy of Form 1098, Mortgage Interest Statement, which should be provided each year by the firm that holds your mortgage. If you pay your mortgage payment to an individual, you will need to supply the name, Social Security number and address of the mortgage holder, in addition to the amount of interest paid. The home mortgage interest tax deduction is cherished by homeowners and despised by proponents of income tax reform. Flat-tax advocates favor the demise of this deduction, and U.S. lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have been discussing a variety of tax reform schemes that generally involve the removal of the mortgage interest tax deduction. Curiously, a quick glance at recently released tax returns of presidential candidates shows they will not be impacted by removing this break since they do not have mortgages. However, there is no specific plan to abolish the home mortgage interest deduction at this time nor do I expect it to go away anytime soon. What if you used part of your home equity to fund a business? This is topic to be covered in a future article as IRS rules get a bit more complicated. Please remember these are general rules and you should always speak with your trusted advisers about you particular situation.

nesses as the Stonehurst and Jackson Square. She is currently employed as a medical transcriptionist at Memorial Hospital. Holmes and Driscoll have known one another for years and formed the partnership after socializing at a party a year or so ago. “We began talking, and I asked her if she would be interested in helping me to get this little business off the ground,” said Holmes, saying she had long made gifts for friends of soft fabric items. She also recently co-published her fourth book, “That Picture Rocks, er, Stinks,” which is self-described as an “in-your-face, no-nonsense guide see next page

from preceding page

to end lousy picture taking forever,” available through www. snowygnomepublishing.com. ‘Big’ impression at ski show When they launched their wares at the Boston Globe/BEWI Productions Boston Ski and Snowboard Expo in Boston at the World Tradeport Center in November, Holmes and Driscoll say they were swamped by excited customers. “We had nine [seamstresses] — including us — make over 500 neck warmers, scarves, mittens and headbands and it was crazy for four days for Maggie and me,” said Holmes. “What was really great for us is that we could deal directly with the consumer. It was great to see how wonderfully received we were, as we sold several of our products at the show,” she added. The softness — along with the bright designs — are the company's trademark. “The product pretty much sells itself whenever we walk into a shop and people touch it and see how soft it is,” said Driscoll. “This market is very interesting, because a lot of people want to stick with what's tried and true — until they touch it. It's soft and warm but not overwhelmingly warm. It's machine washable and dryable, and as we said, reversible.” Asked if this relatively warm winter has had a negative impact on sales, Holmes and Driscoll said it has been a blessing in a way. “It's given us a little more time to do what we wanted to do so it has not been a bad year for us to be starting,” said Driscoll. “What has slowed us down most,” said Holmes, “is not yet having a rep. Several of the people we contacted already had eight or nine product lines and they could not take on a new one at this point in time — so, we are sort of playing catch up and developing our inventory.” “We're giving our [seamstresses] all they can handle, building

up the product lines. Thee of us are banging on the doors of shops, until we can get a fulltime winter sports accessory rep,” said Driscoll. American made A key part of the company's profile is its emphasis on being an American company, selling American products, note Holmes and Driscoll. “All of our [seamstresses] are located on the coast of Maine, except for Maggie and me,” notes Holmes, who used to do cover photography and layout for L.L. Bean. “I live there [on the coast] a lot in summer. I joined a quilting group there, and I got to know many highly-skilled ladies there who like to work as independent contractors and make a little extra money at home.” GuSStuff USA LLC is a Mount Washington Valley-based company because Holmes has long had roots here. “I have had ties to the valley since 1960, when my family had a home on Hurricane Mountain Road. When we expand, we will probably train [seamstresses] in Mount Washington Valley,” said Holmes. Holmes said her supplier is located in Arvin, Calif. “They're the worldwide wholesaler for this type of fabric. My cutter has my patterns. He does all the cutting

and ships it back to me here in New Hampshire,” she said. Warm, soft and colorful On the company's website, www.gusstuffusa.com, they note, “We like keep folks warm and cozy while promoting the economic well being of local home [seamstresses]. The website goes on to say that GuSStuff USA outlines some of the company's attributes, including: • It's made of GusFuzz – “the softest fabric anywhere.” • Since all items are reversible, it is an “excellent value." • "Outstanding quality made in New England to support local home [seamstresses]." • Unique colors, combinations and designs. • “Custom made for your store or resort.” Prices for neck warmers are $25 retail; hats are $30, headbands cost $20, mittens cost $37. And there are two prices or scarves: narrow scarves cost $40 and wider (by two inches) cost $45. Local shops selling GuSStuff USA include Stan and Dan's Ski and Sports in North Conway and Lahout's in Litteton. The brand is also now sold at Boston Ski and Tennis. General inquiries may be made via e-mail to info@gusstuffusa.com.

The Legal Corner

Edward D. Alkalay

Filing a consumer complaint With the holiday season just past, perhaps you have had a recent consumer experience that was unpleasant. We all have bad consumer experiences. Whether the experience involves sale of a defective product, unprofessional sales staff or rises to the level of fraudulent activity, it may warrant further action from you as the consumer. If in your opinion as the consumer, it does warrant further action, there is a simple process that can be pursued. Both the New Hampshire and the Maine Attorney General’s offices have a consumer protection division designed to handle all in-state consumer complaints. The process is straight forward. First, you must file a complaint with the Attorney General’s office. In New Hampshire, you can obtain forms online at http://www.egov.nh.gov/consumercomplaint/ or you can request a complaint form through the mail at the Office of the Attorney General, Consumer and Antitrust Bureau, 33 Capitol Street, Concord, NH 03301. The telephone number is (603) 271-3641. In Maine, the process is slightly different, but also satisfactory. You can find information at http://www. maine.gov/ag/consumer/index.shtml. In Maine, contact the Consumer Information and Mediation Service, 6 State House Station, Augusta, Maine 04333-0006. The contact numbers are 1-800-4362131 (in Maine only) and 1-207-626-8849. In New Hampshire, after your complaint is received, it will be read and reviewed by a paralegal and an attorney. Be aware that the Attorney Gen-

445 White Mtn Hwy Conway, NH

eral’s office receives many consumer inquiries per year, so it will likely take some time before Edward D. Alkalay your complaint is reviewed. After your complaint is reviewed, you may be advised to pursue the matter in small claims court or to contact a private attorney. You may also be directed to the Attorney General’s mediation program. On occasion, the Attorney General’s office may even pursue an enforcement action against the offender. In any event, the Attorney General’s office will keep your complaint on file in the event that it is needed for future reference. In Maine, like New Hampshire, filing a consumer complaint is a free and simple process with information easily accessible at the above website and address. In conclusion, if you have a consumer complaint, contact the Attorney General’s office. It is free. You may receive complete satisfaction after a review. At very least, your complaint will be kept on file. There is no downside to contacting the Consumer Protection Bureau of the Attorney General’s office, and there may be a large upside. Edward D. Alkalay is a partner at Alkalay & Smillie, PLLC and is licensed to practice in both New Hampshire and Maine. He can be reached at (603) 447-8994 or ed@NorthConwayLawyers.com.

If you run into my friend Sandra Pendery, please wish her a happy Groundhog Day. “February, when the days of winter seem endless and no amount of wistful recollecting can bring back any air of summer.” — Shirley Jackson(American Writer, 1919-1965) Make someone smile today, and as always, keep me posted at ravenstone54@hotmail.com.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

DILBERT

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis whom and whatever comes your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll make some quick decisions and set new priorities. A loved one can’t keep up with you but would like to at least know more about what you’re doing. Share the details of your day. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve been playing it a lot safer than usual, perhaps because you realize the stakes are high, especially in matters of love. Not taking a risk is dangerous, too -- maybe more dangerous than taking one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you look on a person with tenderness day after day, the affectionate connection becomes a habit, the habit becomes a bond and the bond becomes part of who you are. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re still holding on to someone’s wrongdoing against you. There are so many benefits to forgiving this person that forgiveness would almost be an act of selfishness. So, what are you waiting for? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Everyone must agree on some aspect of reality for things to move forward. Telling the truth promotes health in bodies, relationships and organizations. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 1). New habits you form over the next 10 weeks help you to balance your emotions and set burdens free. You’ll be a stellar example for loved ones as you create relationship success wherever you go. Financial opportunities in March provide a boost that helps you go into a new interest or business this summer. Cancer and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 21, 3, 28 and 18.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are competent, organized and focused. Those who are less structured will be attracted to you as they believe, on some level, that you will help them reign in their scattered energy and accomplish something of meaning. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are independent and self-motivated. Still, you’ll do your best work when you’re accountable to somebody for it. Tell someone you admire what you’re up to, and ask this person to check in on your progress periodically. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re open-minded and will therefore pick up some helpful tips and shortcuts from sharing individuals. For instance, someone’s productivity method may work for you. Try it out and see. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your assumptions are what make things so. The rules are not as concrete as they seem. Poke around, and you may discover they are rubbery enough to bend or brittle enough to break through with minimal effort. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You cherish your privacy and need time to yourself. However, avoid seeming closed off and aloof to loved ones. You’ll benefit from an open communication policy. Encourage their questions. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be all business. You’ll finish up what you started and immediately look for the next project worthy of your time and attention. There are sure benefits to being slow to decide. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a plan, but you’re also willing to toss it for something better. An open mind will be essential as you’ll get the most out of this day by being ready to entertain

Help Wanted by Abigail Van Buren

WOMAN IN LOVE WITH FIANCE’S TWIN IS NOW IN DOUBLE TROUBLE

DEAR ABBY: I am 26 and have been dating “Mike” for four years. We met in our senior year of college and recently became engaged. I’m looking forward to being married and starting a family, but there’s one “small” problem. I’m in love with Mike’s identical twin brother, “Matt.” Mike and Matt are identical in appearance, but Matt is funnier, more outgoing and affectionate than my fiance. I didn’t know he existed until a year ago because they had a falling out at their high school graduation and didn’t reconcile until recently. When I met Matt, I knew right away he was the one for me, but I continued dating Mike because I didn’t want to ruin his re-established relationship with his brother. Matt reciprocates my feelings. He has told me he’s in love with me and wants to date me. I know I shouldn’t have accepted Mike’s proposal, but I don’t want to hurt him or start another fight between him and his twin, but I also don’t want to be married to the wrong man for the rest of my life. I’m unsure what to do. The wedding date has been set. Help! -- IN LOVE WITH THE DOUBLE DEAR IN LOVE: You should have put the brakes on the relationship with Mike the minute you realized you were attracted to Matt. The engagement should be ended immediately. That you would not only continue to date Mike but also accept his proposal of marriage knowing you were more attracted to his twin was cruel. If Matt starts seeing you after the breakup, it will probably cause a permanent rift between them. It will be interesting to

see what happens when you become available because with some people the “apple” that’s just out of reach is the one that’s most enticing -- and you may wind up married to neither brother. DEAR ABBY: My 4-year-old son made a snowman in our front yard and then went inside to take a nap. Our neighbor came over with his son -- age 16 -- to talk to my husband. When I brought my 3-year-old daughter outside to see the snowman her brother made, I was horrified to see it was now “anatomically correct”! I asked my husband who did it, and he said it was the neighbor’s son. My husband thought it was funny and that I was overreacting. I think the behavior was inappropriate, and the fact that my daughter saw it and wondered what was “hanging on the snowman” was no laughing matter. If the neighbor wanted to make an X-rated snowman, he should have made it in his own front yard. Do you think I’m being too sensitive? -- FAILS TO SEE THE HUMOR DEAR FAILS TO SEE THE HUMOR: Yes, I do. While I agree the neighbor boy’s “artistic endeavor” was in poor taste, it provided an opportunity to answer your daughter’s question in a matter-of-fact way and explain there are anatomical differences between boys and girls. You could also have explained that private parts are not supposed to be displayed in public, and asked your husband to remove them as you took your little girl back into the house. Seeing the snowman would not traumatize your daughter as much as seeing you shocked and upset.
