Budget committee takes aim at schools and non-profits

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — The town came out of Sunday’s budget committee meeting almost completely unscathed, but the school and non-profits took a beating.

The town’s proposed operating budget, as well as those for the East Conway Fire Precinct, the Redstone Fire District and the Center Conway Fire Department, all passed unanimously.

The town’s operating budget is down almost $111,000 from last year’s, so the

budget committee moved didn’t spend much time there.

A few warrant articles did provoke discussion. While there were grumblings over the request for $230,000 to put a new roof see BUDGETS page 10

OSSIPEE — Lawmakers heard a proposal to have the county farm raise pigs and cattle.

But at least two representatives believe the idea is a stinker.

In Carroll County government, a group of 14 local state representatives, called the county see FARM page 10

Cursed mansion

LOS ANGELES (NY Times) — There is no shortage of abandoned homes across the country, especially in Los Angeles. But few have attained such neighborhood notoriety in their decline as the unfinished 16-year-old pink wedding cake of a house at 2450 Solar Drive, all the more so after it went on the market, listed last week for a mere $15.2 million, including 22 acres of land.

The mansion, which has never been legally occupied, is the subject of gossip and rumor-trading, some of it outlandish, but some of it, it turns out, quite true. It is feeding Los Angeles’s fascination with real estate, sumptuous homes and a good plot — and all the better that it is a real estate whodunit.

“It has great views, but it is cursed,” David Tollefson, an airline attendant, said while hiking by the home as dusk fell, lighting up the hues of the scrub-covered hills and canyons of Hollywood that are its backyard.

“It’s a haunted house.”

Many of the tales of this house — like the murder that supposedly took place on the pool table in the billiards room — are urban legend, said Mr. Morgan, 53.

But many of the tales are quite real. Gangs, among them the notorious Armenian Power, really did turn the house into a clubhouse, the police said. Gang tags are still visible on the walls.

Teenagers commandeered the carpeted first floor for weekend raves.

SAYWHAT...

“

To me death is not a fearful thing. It’s living that’s cursed.”

—Jim Jones

Airlines beat storms by canceling ahead

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

(NY Times) — This has been a terrible winter for flying.

Since Christmas, four major winter storms, one after the next, shut down many of the nation’s largest airports for at least a few hours and some for a whole day. About 86,000 flights from Nov. 1 through Feb. 11 were canceled at the top 200 airports, according to Flightstats.com, putting this winter on track as one of the most difficult to navigate.

Even so, the severity of the storms was

only part of the story this year. The airlines, stung by highly publicized incidents in previous years of planes stuck on the ground for hours by snowstorms, have changed their policies. They have become more aggressive in canceling flights beforehand rather than trying to fight their way through the snow.

At the same time, they have made it easier for passengers to cancel or rebook their travel plans, often by waiving fees.

“This winter has been unprecedented in

terms of the severity of the storms,” said Rob Maruster, the chief operating officer of JetBlue Airways, which had its own bad experience in February 2007, when dozens of its flights were stranded at the snowbound Kennedy Airport. “Our philosophy is that if Mother Nature is going to win, let her win, and live to fight another day.”

The storms have eaten into the airlines’ bottom lines, adding another worry just as fuel prices have risen.

Unrest grows in Bahrain as Iranian lawmakers call for police kill a second protester death of opposition leaders

MANAMA, Bahrain (NY Times) — Thousands of demonstrators poured into this nation’s symbolic center, Pearl Square, late Tuesday in a raucous rally that again demonstrated the power of popular movements that are transforming the political landscape of the Middle East.

In a matter of hours, this small, strategically important monarchy experienced the now familiar sequence of events that has rocked the Arab world. What started as an on-line call for a “Day of Rage,”

progressed within 24 hours to an exuberant group of demonstrators, cheering, waving flags, setting up tents and taking over the grassy traffic circle beneath the towering monument of a pearl in the heart of the capital city.

The crowd grew bolder as it grew larger, and as in Tunisia and Egypt, modest concessions from the government only raised expectations among the protesters, who by day’s end were talking about tearing the whole system down, monarchy and all.

TEHRAN, Iran (NY Times) — A day after the most significant street protests in Iran since the end of the 2009 uprising there, members of the Iranian Parliament called on Tuesday for the two most prominent opposition leaders to be prosecuted and sentenced to death for stirring unrest.

The call came as confrontations between government authorities and protesters inspired by the Tunisia and Egypt revolutions continued to unfold elsewhere in the region, with violent clashes in Bahrain and Yemen. The protests in Tehran and other Iranian cities on Monday brought thousands to the streets, defying an official prohibition and reviving memories of the mass protests that convulsed Iran after the disputed presidential election in 2009.

The demonstrations were ostensibly called to offer support for the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, but they soon turned into what opposition figures depicted as a renewal of the anti-government sentiment that the authorities sought to quash last year.

Lynch: 1 in 10 state jobs should be axed

BY TOM FAHEY THE UNION LEADER

CONCORD — Gov. John Lynch’s budget proposal for the next two years cuts the ranks of state workers by 10 percent and lowers spending of state tax dollars next year to pre-2008 levels.

In unveiling his 2012-2013 plan to the Legislature today, Lynch announced he would cut 255 jobs and eliminate another 845 vacant positions.

In general, the $10.7 billion plan cuts state spending, cuts state workers, pushes all public workers into longer careers, slows private hospital expansions and continues lower aid levels to cities and towns.

It also eliminates the state’s program of paying a share of the retirement costs of local public workers, a savings of $87 million a year to the state, but a cut that will have to be made up through local property taxes or layoffs.

The end of federal stimulus funding forced hard choices in the budget process. Lynch said the budget cuts state spending by 5.5 percent, or $160 million less than was spent in 2008-09.

He said early in his speech that the loss of $380 million federal stimulus funds for education and Medicaid added to the pressure to cut.

The total spending package, including state and federal dollars, comes to $10.7 billion over the next two years.

The last two years saw a budget that

30% OFF

totaled $11.5 billion, when stimulus funds were included. Calling the stimulus funding, “an important bridge” over the recession, Lynch said now it is time for “major changes and reductions across state government.”

“Some programs that people and businesses currently rely on will no longer be there, or will operate differently. There are programs that provide real value to our citizens that we simply can no longer afford,” Lynch said the budget contains no new taxes, and no tax increases. If doubles the tax credit businesses take for research and development costs, and repeals the tax on gambling winnings.

He estimates that state revenues will come in at $4.7 billion over the two years, about $300 million more than the House of Representatives official estimate.

Charles Arlinghaus, executive director of the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy, said he thinks Lynch’s revenue estimates are too optimistic, but he credited his efforts.

“It’s a very difficult budget. It required significant cuts and tough decisions, and he did that. I thought it was really bold,” he said.

Senate Finance Committee chairman Sen. Chuck Morse, R-Salem, said, “I have to give him credit. He worked really hard on the budget, and make the cuts he could find. But it’s the beginning of the process.”

Vote to discontinue capital reserve funds To the editor: I urge Tamworth to vote “Yes” on warrant articles 8 through 17 at this year’s town meeting. These articles would discontinue 10 capital reserve funds, and return $84,948 to the general fund.

The capital improvement program (CIP) report includes planned capital spending for all town departments over the next six years, totaling $6,249,095.

Of course, each expenditure must be approved by voters.

The CIP report allows selectmen and voters to see the tax rate impacts for proposed capital improvements.

By coordinating spending

across all departments, the tax rates can be kept level without using capital reserve funds. The recommendation to discontinue capital reserve funds would decrease costs, without impacting planned improvements.

The complete set of recommendations in this year’s CIP report can be found at www.tamworthnh.org/ admin/ulm/documents/ CIP%20report%202010.pdf.

Thanks to the selectmen for putting these articles on this year’s warrant for voter’s approval.

Trespassing is not a capital offense To the editor: In Saturday’s paper Maynard Thomson, Carroll County Republican chair, wrote a letter to the editor in which he referenced Rep. Patten’s HB 378-FN which would “make it clear that a property owner, like Mr. Bird, has the right to respond to a trespasser who refuses to leave by displaying a firearm or other weapon as a warning.”

This bill makes me nervous, and I would urge Rep. Patten and the legislature to consider its ramifications

carefully. Maybe I misunderstand the implications of the words “displaying a firearm,” but it seems that when the firearm comes out, there is an implied threat to use it.

I could see a number of situations where things could spiral out of control quickly.

My biggest concern is that trespassing is not a capital offense, and this bill seems to sanction just such a notion.

What ever happened to just calling the police and letting them take care of it?

Argument based on fictional facts, irrational reasoning To the editor: This is in response to Ray O’Brien’s recent letter advocating that we vote to remove the summer road designation from a portion of the south end of Lead Mine Road in Madison. In making his pitch, Ray is parroting the all-too-familiar talking points generated by Mike and Donna Veilleux, who are building a new home that relies on that primitive road for its access. Ray wants us to join him in doing his teaching buddy a big fat favor at a big fat public cost.

Their argument is based on fictional facts, irrational reasoning, coercive scare tactics, and a reckless disregard for very serious harm to the public interest. This is the third time in as many years that these people are pestering the town meeting about this issue, not to mention all of the time they have spent before various town boards on this and related issues.

This very snowy winter the Veilleuxs are plowing this road as if it were their driveway, and contrary to what Ray is implying, they are doing it without any problems for them, the town, or the snowmobilers who share the road and help with the winter maintenance. The local snowmobile club is entirely happy with these arrangements and would not agree with Ray’s assertion that town plowing would improve conditions.

Ray is conveniently overlooking that there are currently 14 other homes on town roads whose current designation likewise prohibits town plowing.

Just like the Veilleuxs, the owners of these homes knowingly chose to live

on these substandard roads. Some of them must plow for distances similar to the Veilleuxs. Yet they are all doing their own plowing without complaint.

We must realize that if we remove the designation for one of these owners, as a matter of law we must be prepared to treat all of them equally. So this isn’t just about one road. A “can of worms” comes to mind.

Ray doesn’t want you to notice it, but voters must realize that plowing a road for public use must meet much higher standards than plowing a driveway. Ray says the Town can plow it at “small cost.” That isn’t so, but if it were, the cost would be even smaller for the Veilleuxs, who are using their own pickup truck.

Another consequence of the town maintaining the road is that it would then be open to general public use in winter, whereas right now it’s open only to the Veilleuxs and snowmobile use. Such public use on such a narrow road would undoubtedly preclude snowmobile use on this irreplaceable segment of their trails system.

Hundreds if not thousands of snowmobilers would be affected. In good conscience, is it fair to do this gratuitous favor for Ray’s friend when it comes at such a sacrifice for so many others?

In a letter to follow, I will discuss how the narrowness of this road’s right-of-way (under 30 feet) makes the cost of municipal plowing prohibitive, and will also debunk the scare-tactic myth that the town will be sued if we don’t bend to the will of these people.

Thomson side-steps issue with Bachmann’s speech To the editor: In his fanciful re-interpretation of the Constitution and insight into the thinking of the Founders, Maynard Thomson adroitly side-steps the issue brought up by Michelle Bachmann’s speech in Iowa (Jan. 21). Ms. Bachmann stated –- categorically –- that the Founders “worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States.”

Bachmann’s hagiography is patently false and should offend genuine students of American history.

Deftly pirouetting away from this issue, Thomson –- instead –- inserts: “the Founders felt no imperative to

categorize the population by victim class.” (Perhaps he would be kind enough to enlighten readers on the origins of Art. 1, Sec. 2, Par. 3 where blacks are characterized as 3/5th of a person.)

Rather than obfuscation and sidetracking his audience, Chairman Thomson might do well to more carefully study the Constitution and then soberly contemplate the real –- and alarming –- question raised by the revisionist delusions of one of his party’s spokeswomen … and potential presidential candidates.

Planned Parenthood says they’re pro-choice, but aren’t To the editor: I am prochoice. I believe parents can choose to murder their newborn baby or nurture their new son or daughter.

It’s a choice: murdering someone or letting them live. One or the other.

Planned Parenthood says they are pro-choice too, but they are not. What Planned Parenthood’s inference is, go ahead, it is OK, choose to murder the baby. That’s not choice. That’s deceptive mind games.

Everyone knows — except the Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade that premeditated murder is a most serious criminal offense. Ordinary people

understand that’s true. In addition, the Obama Administration believes funding infanticide is a provision of Obamacare. Somebody is nutso here and should be liable for prosecution for the murder of millions of babies.

As Stalin once said, “The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic.”

Can’t we discuss this insane outrage with civility? Brothers and Sisters, how can you consistently remain silent? Cat gotcha tongue. Or does silence mean you favor child abuse?

Viruses were rampant on county computers until techie got to work

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

OSSIPEE — Most of Carroll County’s computer networks had been plagued by “rampant” viruses, unreliable e-mail and ineffective data backup systems, according to a contractor who has been fixing these issues for the last few months.

County commission chairman David Sorensen had Jon Rich, president of Cybertron Inc., make a presentation to the county delegation on Monday, Feb. 7, because Cybertron will be in almost every county department’s budget. In county government, the legislative delegation, a group of 14 state representatives, sets the bottom line county budget figure. Once the delegation approves the budget, the commissioners manage it.

“The malware and viruses throughout these two buildings were just rampant,” said Rich of the administration building and nursing home. “There’s no way to describe to you just how bad they were.”

Cybertron, based in Belmont, has been working with all county departments besides the sheriff’s office and the registry of deeds. Cybertron’s contract cost $55,000.

In about six months, Cyberton has identified several major deficiencies at the county’s computer infrastructure.

The primary server at the county complex had an issue that caused e-mail to be unreliable and the anti-virus system to be unstable. Fortunately, Rich was able to reconfigure the server without any additional cost to the county. Now it’s working well. The viruses have been eliminated.

“Even one virus can literally take down the entire network,” said Rich.

Cybertron also noticed that the data on all the servers wasn’t being backed up properly. For example, the county attorney’s office’s former data backup was done on outdated hardware and without the proper software. A staff member performed data backup every other week.

“Not only did it take one user the

better part of the day to accomplish, we feel had they needed to use that backup to do restore, they would have lost data,” said Rich about the county attorney’s office. They also found there had never been a backup of county e-mail before Cybertron arrived.

“That’s a serious issue,” said Rich.

So, Cybertron found a way to properly back up all the servers they are responsible for maintaining. That didn’t require buying any more hardware, which saved the county about $2,500, said Rich adding that some software needed to be purchased.

Every server Cybertron looked at had insufficient RAM, which makes the computers run slowly. The servers are nearing the end of their life. Rich said he will try to extend their life as long as possible.

“That directly impacts productivity,” said Rich about the lack of RAM. Other Cybertron accomplishments included installing a new server at the nursing home. Now, all information is filed electronically. Cybertron has also installed a countywide timekeeping system used to keep track of wage earners’ hours.

“The days of doing things by hand writing on paper are gone,” said Rich.

While Cybertron has accomplished a lot, there is still more to do, said Rich. In the future, the company will be doing things like keeping up with patches and updates. Over 70 percent of the hardware on the county’s networks is outdated. Cybertron has created a plan for dealing with the machines that are in most need of replacement. Those old machines can be given to nursing home residents to use, he said.

Rep. Frank McCarthy (R-Conway) asked how much it would cost to cover the sheriff’s office.

Rich said that cost of maintaining the sheriff’s office has been estimated at $65,000. He described the sheriff’s office computer network as “very thorough,” adding that the sheriff’s office is unlikely to ever lose data. see next page

A Connecticut woman injured her knee and had to be transported out of the woods and to Memorial Hospital after crashing into a tree while snowmobiling on Upper Haystack Trail, off Bear Notch Road, in Bartlett Tuesday. Debbie Delgado, 52, of West Haven, Conn., and her boyfriend, Thomas Boyd, of Stratford, Conn., rented a snowmobile, and Boyd had been doing most of the driving with Delgado as a passenger.

They switched, and Delgado, who had never driven a snowmobile before, had been driving for about 15 to 20 minutes when she failed to negotiate a sharp curve. “She was driving a little beyond her ability,” said Sgt. Brian Abrams, of N.H. Fish and Game. “Inexperience was the primary cause of the accident.” Boyd sustained a small cut on the foot. Bartlett Fire Department and Bartlett/Jackson Ambulance assisted with the rescue. The accident occurred at about 12:46 p.m. Tuesday. (PHOTOS COURTESY OF BRIAN ABRAMS)

FARM from page one

delegation, sets the bottom line budget number for the whole county. The county commissioners manage the money that's allotted.

On Monday, county farm supervisor Will DeWitte asked the delegation for a $49,200 increase to his budget for starting a livestock program. Almost half the money would be one-time start-up expenses. The break-even point would take about three years, said DeWitte. After the start-up expenses are paid, the pigs would generate $13,380 in profit.

"I've tried to be conservative to make sure I can meet the numbers," said DeWitte.

State Rep. Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett) was absent on Monday because he had to work. But when asked about DeWitte's plan Chandler had strong objections.

Those included doubts about the plan's ability to generate revenue, and concern about conflicts with the private sector.

"I find it utterly amazing we are even considering

it," said Chandler. "If this was a good idea the private sector would be doing it."

Further, Chandler said proof that livestock is a bad idea was actually in DeWitte's own representation, which said there are a few county farms left. Chandler says there must be a reason why that's the case.

During the meeting, Rep. David Babson (R-Ossipee) said Coos County was just getting out of the dairy business but will keep its farm.

Chandler plans to voice his opposition at upcoming delegation meetings. The delegation sets the county budget in March. If the farm can really do all this work without hiring more staff, then that means the farm has too many employees, Chandler said.

The purpose of starting the livestock program, DeWitte said, is threefold. It would increase farm revenue, provide food for the nursing home and jail, and provide opportunities for livestock workshops run in conjunction with University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension.

Rep. Christopher Ahlgren's (R-Wolfeboro) question

about the location of the livestock relative to the new $23.5 million nursing home led to a somewhat amusing exchange between officials. On Tuesday, Ahlgren said he opposed the livestock plan because of the proximity to the nursing home and because it expands the role of county government.

"Where is the smell going to blow to and is it going to bother the nursing home?" asked delegation chair Betsey Patten (R-Moultonborough) sharpening Ahlgren's question.

DeWitte answered that the pigs would be housed in the middle of the barnyard in an area surrounded by other barns. The winds generally blow away from the nursing home. The cattle barn would be out back near the woodlot.

"I can't control the wind all the time," said DeWitte.

County commission Chair David Sorensen joked that the smell would go toward Wolfeboro.

Babson supports the livestock program. He suggested the county nursing home could "charge extra" if residents can smell the farm because it provides rural atmosphere.

The swine operation would focus on selling piglets.

Sows would be slaughtered after they have a few litters. The sows would have litters in the fall and the spring. Each litter may generate 180 piglets, accounting for a 10 percent loss rate. Piglets would sell for $35 in the fall and $75 in the spring.

The cattle operation would start with two calves that would be raised for beef. DeWitte wanted to start small with the cattle because he has less experience with them. The cattle could produce a $400 profit after the butcher with the possibility of making more.

"We'll never get rich on it but we will make money," said Babson, who sat on the subcommittee that oversees the farm's budget. "We'll never get a return unless we give them some start-up cash."

But a few delegates were concerned that the piggery and the cattle would compete with the private sector.

DeWitte and Babson replied that it wouldn't. In fact, most piglets purchased in Carroll County have to be trucked in from distant places like Canada and Vermont. The county had been in the livestock business in the past. Babson recalled buying piglets from the county 40 years ago.

"They were the best pigs around," said Babson adding the county stopped raising pigs because the jail inmates abused them but DeWitte doesn't think that would happen today.

Patten added that inmates doing labor around the county are constantly supervised.

In other county farm news, DeWitte reported that he's had great success selling campfire wood to state parks. This program was added in 2010. The county makes about $137 per cord. But to keep this program going as efficiently as possible, he needs $10,000 for a storage barn. Campfire wood is sold in the summer, but DeWitte said it would be good if the wood could be processed in the winter.

BUDGETS from page one

on the town garage, the only warrant that did not win the committee’s recommendation was the police department’s request for $75,000 to add two new officers in July. The committee split five to five.

The school, meanwhile, could face a $3.6 million cut to the operating budget if the voters don’t amend the committee’s recommendation at the deliberative session in March, and the board opposed a number of the school warrant articles.

The committee rejected the school board’s proposal of $33.1 million, along with several other proposals, on the way to the final 11 percent cut.

The voters will still have the choice of the default budget of $33.3 million.

Committee members tossed out figures of all kinds, from state averages and costs per pupil, arguing the school is overspending.

“They still haven’t gotten it,” said committee chair David Sordi. “We need to figure out ways to do it more efficiently. We cannot afford continuing increases of this type.”

Mitt Romney will be the Lincoln Day Dinner guest March 5

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

BARTLETT — Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the early leader in polls to be the Republican Party nominee for president, will be the keynote speaker at the Carroll County Republican Committee’s annual Lincoln Day Dinner on Saturday, March 5 at the Grand Summit Hotel in Bartlett.

This will be Romney's second time as the keynote speaker for the event, having attended in 2006 when he was pondering a run for the White House.

In 2008, Romney was a leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and distinguished himself as a voice in favor of strengthening the economy, military and families.

Elected governor of Massachusetts in 2002, Romney presided over a dramatic reversal of state fortunes and a period of sustained economic expansion. Without raising taxes or increasing debt, he balanced the budget every year of his

from preceding page

of increases Sordi was talking about. He handed out a handwritten table showing school department’s spending from 1996 to today, including approved warrant articles, alongside enrollment.

Enrollment dropped by 8 percent over that time, from 2,070 to 1,910, while spending went up 118 percent, from $15.1 million to $32.9 million. Staff also increased over the same time period from 186 to 343.

“Here’s the figures Carl gave me,” Drinkhall said, referring to SAU 9 superintendent Carl Nelson. “It doesn’t seem to me spending more money is getting very good results.”

Betty Loynd, of Center Conway, and school board member Lynne Brydon both spoke passionately in favor of funding the schools.

“It’s not $33 million Conway is paying,” Loynd said, pointing out the sending towns actually pay for about half of the school budget.

“This community cannot afford you,” Ray Shakir said. “If you have children in school it doesn’t mean I or any other taxpayer has to provide them an Ivy league education. These numbers prove the school has been wasteful and abusive.”

At that point the shouting began, and chairman Sordi stopped discussion.

“I’m very interested to hear what he has to say,” Brydon said, refering to Shakir’s position.

Shakir suggested the board privatize the buses and custodians, eliminate public-funded meal programs, lay off coaches and close the Pine Tree School.

Those changes “would truly gut the school system,” Sordi said, if they were done all at once. “They need to be done over a few years.”

“We looked at closing the school,” Brydon said.

“There’s no savings to it.”

Shakir proposed cutting the school board’s proposal to $27.1 million, an 18 percent cut, but that motion failed by two votes.

The percent was slowly whittled down to 11 percent, after proposals of 18, 13 and 11.5 percent.

There were also more conservative cuts of 1.53 percent and $1, but those didn’t gain traction.

As for the school warrant articles, not a single one was passed with full board support. Committee members Shakir and Linda Teagan voted against every one. The articles for Project SUCCEED, the capital reserve fund for buses and a one-year agreement with Conway Education Association all failed to get a majority from the committee.

One of Governor Romney’s top priorities as governor was reforming the education system so that young people could compete for better paying jobs in the global economy of the future. In 2004, Romney established the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship Program to reward the top 25 percent of Massachusetts’ high school students with a four-year, tuition-free scholarship to any Massachusetts public university or college. He has also championed a package of education reforms, including merit pay, an emphasis on math and science instruction, new intervention programs for failing schools and English immersion for foreignspeaking students.

In 2006, Romney proposed and signed into law a private, market-based reform that ensures every

Massachusetts citizen will have health insurance, without a government takeover and without raising taxes.

The Lincoln Day Dinner will begin with a social hour at 5:30 followed by dinner at 6:30 p.m. with a choice of chicken, salmon or pot roast.

Beverly Bruce, of Center Tuftonboro, is chairing this year’s event.

“In addition to the dinner and social hour we have made arrangements for a private reception with Governor Romney to be held in the Grey Wolf Room at the Grand Summit," she said.

Tickets are $50 for dinner and $100 with the private reception. They can be purchased by calling Patricia Stell Flect at 356-9649. A response is requested by Feb. 25; tickets will not be sold at the door without prior arrangements. For more information visit www.ccnhgop.com

New Dunkin Donuts set to open Pending town permit, Brian Fram’s sixth franchise will open Friday in Glen

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

BARTLETT — Pending receipt of a town occupancy permit, local Dunkin' Donuts proprietor Brian Fram of Fram Realty LLC is scheduled to open his sixth and latest franchise in Intervale Feb. 18, just prior to the start of the Presidents' Birthday February vacation week.

Constructed over the past three and a half months, the new Dunkin'

Donuts is located on Routes 16/302, next to Boarder Patrol.

A grand opening will be celebrated at a later date.

Fram opened his first Dunkin' Donuts franchise in Windham, Maine, 25 years ago, after working for the company for 10 years.

With the addition of the new Intervale store, he now owns six local Dunkin' Donuts franchises: one on Route 16 in North Conway; one at WalMart in North Conway; another at the

State Line Store in Conway near the Maine border; another at the juncture of West Main Street and Route 16 in Conway, which opened last year; and a sixth in nearby Bridgton, Maine, which opened in 2005.

He previously leased the site in North Conway now rented by DeAngelo's Sandwiches before moving across Route 16 six years ago to his current location. He also formerly operated see DUNKIN page 14

Day trading the ‘winning formula’ for Kennett student

Mathew Forney

CONWAY — An economy coming out of recession was just what the doctor ordered for Kennett High students involved in a stock market simulation held in Jon Judge’s economics classes this past semester.

Judge’s students took an initial investment of $500,000, created and managed portfolios, tested investing strategies, and competed with each other to see who might become the next Warren Buffet or Bill Gates.

Every senior at Kennett will participate in the online contest, an educational simulation that has been offered exclusively by HowTheMarketWorks.com. The website was created to help individuals understand how stock trading works. The ultimate goal is to enable “contestants” to

begin trading in the stock market for the first time or to simply have a better understanding of what happens behind the scenes on Wall Street.

“The simulation acts as a hook for many of our students, allowing them to relate the major economics concepts covered in class to real world scenarios," Judge said.

"Whether it is simply supply and demand in the stock market, the calculations behind what establishes price of equities, or what interest rates do to the economy, the simulation gives the kids insight into the real world. What many would consider a rather dull subject comes to life in the classrooms at Kennett.” see ECONOMICS page 14

Need mead?

Bearfoot Creek OPEN HOUSES

The Sap House Meadery in Ossipee opened on Saturday. Mead is an 8,000-year-old type of wine made with honey. Owners Ash Fischbein and Matt Trahan give their product a taste of New Hampshire by also using maple syrup. Here, Fischbein and Trahan hold their company's first dollar. "It's been a year plus of work and determination, to see a tangible result is incredible," said Trahan. In late spring or early summer, the meadery will come out with more flavors. The owners have government approval for 15 flavors. The spring offerings will include hopped blueberry and a cranberry sage. Later on, they will have a roasted pumpkin and chocolate. The Sap House Meadery is located at 6 Folsom Road. The mead is produced on site. The Sap House's hours are Saturdays 2 to 8 p.m. and Sundays 10 to 6 p.m. Mead can be sent to 35 states through vinoshipper.com. For more information visit www.saphousemeadery.com or look for it on Facebook. (AUDREY FISCHBEIN PHOTO)

ECONOMICS from page 12

This semester’s top honors went to Mathew Forney, who made an incredible $5.34 million profit in just over four months. That equates to a 1,006.8 percent gain.

"Over the course of the semester, Matt did an incredible job investing," Judge said. "He spent a lot of time in the 'trading pits' to accomplish this feat. He started the simulation, got hooked, and then set the class record for most profit recorded during a semester, outdistancing his peers by millions of dollars.

"To give you some idea of just how well Matt did, the S&P 500, considered the benchmark of U.S. equity performance, showed an increase of 14.7 percent over the same time period. This means that Matt made millions, while the S&P 500 earned $73,526."

"Day trading was my key," Forney said. "Once I started, I got addicted to the strategy and the game.

I would trade up to 75 or 80 times a day, buying hundreds of thousands of shares in different companies.

Although it might seem unrealistic as a strategy, it is one that I found to be a winning formula.”

“Our coffee is the best in the world, backed by great customer service,” said Fram, when asked to say what makes Dunkin' Donuts one of the fastest growing companies in America.

The new Intervale location replaces the former franchise that was located at the Glen shopping center near Grant's Supermarket. Fram closed that site two and a half years ago. see DUNKIN page 16

“The new location gives Brian [Fram] frontage on two busy highways — Routes 16 and 302 — instead of one, so there is half-again as much [drive-by] traffic,” said local Realtor Dick Badger of Badger Realty, who negotiated the transaction and was also one of the former owners of the property, Heartbreak Hotel LLC, a company which also consists of local builder Rich Leavitt and fellow Badger Realtor Kevin Killourie. “It also has a drive-through, which the former Grant's shopping center site did not have, so this will be a great new addition,” Badger added.

He said for the project to proceed, several permits had to be obtained, including wetlands permits from the federal Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the state Department of Environmental Services.

The state Department of Transportation also required a traffic study, as well as construction of

a turning lane onto the site, according to Badger.

Approval was also needed from the Lower Bartlett Water Precinct to build a water line under the highway, according to Badger.

Fram purchased both the 5-acre Boarder Patrol shop site and the adjacent 2-acre lot on which the new coffee shop stands as part of a boundary line adjustment plan to satisfy septic concerns, according to Badger. Boarder Patrol will continue to operate in the building next door.

Site work for the Conway, Bridgton and Intervale franchises were done by Gordon T. Burke and Sons Construction of Center Conway, a company that was established by Tom and Tim Burke's father in 1946. Tom's son, Tom Jr., and Curt's son, Jeffrey, are the third generation involved in the company.

Over the years, the company has performed work at the Josiah Bartlett Elementary School, Fryeburg Academy and many UPS stores.

The new Dunkin' Donuts building was constructed by Thompson Builders of Augusta, Maine.

Store manager will be Dunkin' Donuts veteran Kathy Furness, most recently of the North Conway franchise. Her family has been in the Dunkin' Donuts business for 35 years in Wells, Moody and Kennebunk, Maine. She will be assisted by Jackie Hewitt.

Hours for the new store are 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

The phone number is 374-9800.

Founded in 1950, and based in Canton, Mass., Dunkin' Donuts offers all-day coffee and baked goods. Dunkin' Donuts is a market leader in the regular/decaf coffee, iced coffee, hot flavored coffee, donut, bagel and muffin categories, and is the largest coffee and baked goods chain in the world.

The company has more than 9,000 restaurants in 31 countries worldwide. In 2009, Dunkin' Donuts' global system-wide sales totaled $5.7 billion.

The perfect storm? New Hampshire's public employee retirement system

BY JIM ROCHE If a $600 to $900 million gap in the budget sounds daunting, what would you say to almost $5 billion in unfunded pension liability and medical subsidy accounts for New Hampshire’s public employee retirement system? Did that get your attention? It also caught the attention of the Pew Center, an independent public policy think tank that, in its report “The Trillion $ Gap,” gave New Hampshire (and 18 other states) the lowest ranking of three possible public employee retirement system rankings – “serious concerns.”

That seems to be a bit of an understatement. New Hampshire’s public employee retirement system, in the latest annual report available and using the latest actuarial practices available, notes that the account is only 58.5 percent funded, well below the industry-accepted standard of 80 to 85 percent. If you are not a public employee and you wonder why any of this should be your concern, remind yourself that public employers who pay into the system (such as state, county, municipal and school employers) derive revenue from taxpayers, including businesses. In fact, businesses are the largest single contributor to the state’s general fund and significant property taxpayers. At current funding levels, taxpayers, including businesses, are contributing more than $300 million per year to the retirement system.

So how did we get into this situation and what can we do about it? First, in the early 1990s during another difficult state budget session, an actuarial accounting system was used that understated true costs. It was meant to be temporary, but like many temporary practices, it became permanent. The result was years of employer and employee underpayments, which masked the system’s true liability. Then the Great Recession hit and exacerbated an already tough challenge. Pension plans around the country, individual retirement accounts like 401k’s and 403b’s, and New Hampshire’s retirement system investments took a beating. Finally, public policy leaders may have been too generous and promised pension plans, cost of living increases and

medical benefits that now appear to many observers to be too rich to support. When you add these factors together, you get “the perfect storm” – an almost $5 billion perfect storm.

Legislative changes made in 2006 have put a more accurate actuarial accounting system in place and investment markets have stabilized and should continue to improve. But more changes are needed, and making them is going to require political leadership and courage. Last year alone the pension system took in $451 million from employer and employee contributions, but paid out $550 million.

The Business and Industry Association, working cooperatively with municipal, county and school employer organizations, and House and Senate legislative leaders, is backing a number of reform proposals. These include increasing the retirement age for group II employees (firefighters, police officers and public safety personnel); increasing the number of years on which pensions are calculated from the

current highest three years to five years; redefining earnable compensation; and changing the retirement system board representation to more fairly balance the interests of management and labor. We also think it is time for the Legislature to consider moving new employees from the current defined benefit package to a defined contribution plan, similar to what is now common in the private sector.

We fully expect these proposals to evolve during the legislative session and other pension reform proposals to surface as well. The Business and Industry Association will stay closely engaged and carefully consider each proposal. But make no mistake; this is a multi-billion dollar problem that hangs over the head of every taxpayer, including the business community, the job creators in New Hampshire. The time for meaningful reform is now.

Jim Roche is president of the Business and Industry Association, New Hampshire’s statewide chamber of commerce.

Food from Windy Hills Farm now at Freedom Village Store

Parsonsfield Seminary had a fabulous turnout for their Valentine Brunch. The building was beautifully decorated with replica antique valentines and the food

was abundant. Nearly 150 tickets were sold and monies raised go to the preservation of the old buildings. Freedom had a huge contingency of people there. The next

ParSem event is “Souper Supper” on Friday, April 8. This is a new event and will likely be a smashing success as well so plan to attend. see next page

Lions Club hosts ice fishing derby Feb. 27

Last weekend was busy in Lovell with great conditions on Saturday for the Kezartrail breaker’s Poker Rally.

Over 142 riders registered at the new venue, Norris Bennett’s garage, which proves this is a very popular event.

There wasn’t a happier rider then Al St Germain who was all smiles when he won first prize with a hand of four threes. A dedicated members of the Trailbreakers he donated half the prize money back to the club. Second place went to Joyce Furtado and third to Roy Richmond who also donate his winnings back to the club. The winner of the 50/50 was Steve Craig who also donated the money back to the club.

The club would like to thank the many sponsors of the rally and all those who donated items for the raffle, many of which Al won. For those who donated food, the sales was brisk adding to the money raised. This fund raiser provides the money needed to pay for and maintain the trail groomer. The great trails bring riders to Lovell and help the local stores which is important with today’s economy. To those who worked that day for the club, great job.

Thanks to Norris for a warm place to eat lunch and visit with friends.

The Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library continued the weekend festivities with the sweet “Taste of Lovell” in the lower meeting room. Over 43 from preceding page

The library pizza/movie night of Friday, March 4 for “Megamind” has been rescheduled to Friday, March 11, at 5 p.m. due to the Freedom Elementary School dance conflict.

Call Elizabeth at 539-5176 if you can make cookies for this event.

The Freedom Public Library is pleased to announce that they now subscribe to Career Cruising, an online career planning, job searching, career matching and learning styles reference database. The userfriendly interface helps users satisfy five key career guidance needs:

contestants vied for the best yummies which were voted on by those 92 people who were doing the tasting. I can vouch to the fact it wasn’t easy to choose which was the favorite. There was a long line of people searching for that one special taste to the sound of Brent LaCase on keyboard and his daughter, Devin, playing in the background. The ladies were glowing with satisfaction with the larger space provided for this Valentine’s Day special event. I think the weekend was a big one for Al and Irene St Germain as Irene took first prize with the most delicious hot fudge sundae pie. Second place went to Jane Nesbitt for her wonderful coconut cake. Dawn Fergerson won third place with a chocolate cheesecake. There might have been a few moans and groans for those who over indulged but as for myself I have goodies to last the week. Again, another wonderful Febuary event.

The New Suncook School will be reraffling the New Suncook School quilt that was one of the prizes the night of the potluck dinner. The quilt was won by physical education teacher Alison Wolfe which was made by her daughter Andrea Nicoletta. Knowing the importance of acquiring the new playground equipment which will benefit all the students Alison has donated the quilt back for another raffle. The price

of the raffle tickets is three chances for $1 and can be purchased at the school office, just see Mrs. Dunlea. The quilt will be redrawn at the Italian dinner on Thursday, March 24.

The PTA and the Lovell Recreation Department will be holding the fourth annual winter carnival on Saturday, March 5, from 1 to 4 p.m. Right now the recreation department and PTA are looking for volunteers to help that day.

DILBERT

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your private opinion of yourself is far more critical than anyone else’s could ever be.

Lighten up. Be nice to yourself. You’ve done a good job in many respects. Pat yourself on the back.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You use the power of attraction to gain a following. You’ll apply your imagination to the task of creating a magical experience through which you can lead others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You know what is expected of you, but you expect even more of yourself. Even if others praise your efforts, you will not be happy unless you deliver to your standards.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

People may not acknowledge you to the degree they should. But if you look at their actions with keen insight, you will notice that they are acknowledging you through their attention.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When someone crosses your mind, you’ll reach out. This builds your bond with this person and also builds your connection to the moment. Bonus: As you act on your instincts, they get stronger.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 16).

You believe in a better life for all, not just for you. Because you’re willing to work for this reality, you create it. You’ll be embraced in new arenas in March.

Friends introduce you to a financial opportunity in April. You’ll help your family in May. June and July bring home projects and spectacular leisure activities. Virgo and Libra people will honor you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 22, 15, 49 and 31.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It feels like you’re working harder than other people around you, but there’s a good reason for it. You see more opportunity in the current situation than do others.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You notice that you have the power to control and direct others, and you don’t take this responsibility lightly. Dwell on the end result you are trying to achieve, and go toward it. The others will follow.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be busy making plans, and sometimes it seems like that’s the part that is the most fun. But try not to get so involved in the future that you forget to smile during today’s action.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your connection to certain family members is bittersweet. Take heart in the knowledge that yours is not the only imperfect family. Family dynamics are complicated across the board.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In the past, you’ve sometimes frittered your finances away. Now you’ll make an effort to save the money you get because you realize that you really could do something big with it in the future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will achieve prominence in a certain community. This could be a social club, a party affiliation or an online community.

However it shows up, enjoy the attention.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll hear yourself saying words that are different from what you really want to project. Stop yourself from this kind of duplicity. Get your message straight, and align yourself behind it.

Today is Wednesday, Feb. 16, the 47th day of 2011. There are 318 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 16, 1968, the nation’s first 911 emergency telephone system was inaugurated, in Haleyville, Ala. On this date: In 1804, Lt. Stephen Decatur led a successful raid into Tripoli Harbor to burn the U.S. Navy frigate Philadelphia, which had fallen into the hands of pirates.

In 1862, during the Civil War, some 14,000 Confederate soldiers surrendered at Fort Donelson, Tenn. (Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s victory earned him the nickname “Unconditional Surrender Grant.”)

In 1868, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks was organized in New York City.

In 1923, the burial chamber of King Tutankhamen’s recently unearthed tomb was unsealed in Egypt by English archaeologist Howard Carter.

In 1945, American troops landed on the island of Corregidor in the Philippines during World War II. In 1959, Fidel Castro became premier of Cuba a month and a-half after the overthrow of Fulgencio Batista.

In 1960, the nuclear-powered radar picket submarine USS Triton departed New London, Conn. on the first submerged circumnavigation by a vessel.

In 1961, the United States launched the Explorer 9 satellite.

In 1977, Janani Luwum, the Anglican archbishop of Uganda, and two other men were killed in what Ugandan authorities said was an automobile accident.

In 1998, a China Airlines Airbus A300600R trying to land in fog near Taipei, Taiwan, crashed, killing all 196 people on board.

One year ago: Officials reported the capture of Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar (BEHR’-uh-dahr), the Afghan Taliban’s No. 2 commander, by a joint CIA and Pakistani team. President Barack Obama announced more than $8 billion in new federal loan guarantees to build two nuclear reactors in Georgia.

by Abigail Van Buren

AUNT FEARS SEXUALLY ACTIVE NIECE IS HEADED FOR TROUBLE

DEAR ABBY: This is difficult to write. My sister reads her children’s text messages after they’re asleep. She bragged to me about how popular her daughter “Naomi” -- my 14-yearold niece -- is because she’s giving oral sex to the boys.

My sister claims Naomi isn’t “having sex,” so she thinks it’s OK! I am shocked by her ignorance and terrified knowing that Naomi is putting herself at risk for STDs. My husband says if I confront Naomi it will drive her away, but I can’t remain silent and watch my niece ruin her life. What’s the point of reading your children’s text messages if you’re unwilling to stand up and be a parent? What can I do? -- TERRIFIED FOR MY NIECE IN THE SOUTHWEST DEAR TERRIFIED: Your sister’s parenting skills are appalling. Her daughter isn’t “popular”; she is promiscuous -and her mother is allowing it. Do your niece a favor and talk to her, because oral sex IS sex, and she is putting herself at risk for a number of sexually transmitted diseases.

The Sexuality Information and Education Council has a wealth of information resources and tools for addressing this important subject. Its website, www.familiesaretalking.org, helps with discussing sexuality-related issues and provides information for young people, parents and caregivers.

Other reliable resources include Planned Parenthood’s www.teenwire.com and the American Social Health Association website, www.iwannaknow.org, which is also a safe place for teens to learn about sexual health.

DEAR ABBY: I was raised a Christian, but now that I am older I am questioning my faith. I consider myself an agnostic, borderline atheist.

The problem is I am married and a father. I want to raise my children to be open-minded and tolerant, but I don’t know how I should go about it. How do I answer the question, “Is there a God?” when I myself am not sure? Have you any advice on the subject? -- AGNOSTIC DAD IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR AGNOSTIC DAD: Many deeply spiritual people are agnostic. The way to raise open-minded, tolerant children is to talk to them about your values and model that behavior for them. Parents convey their values verbally and by demonstrating them. As to the question, “Is there a God?” you and your wife should discuss that question in advance so she can have some input and you can handle this together.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter-in-law is eight weeks pregnant. The problem is, she carries the gene for cystic fibrosis.

One of her siblings is a carrier and another has multiple sclerosis. I advised my son that it didn’t seem to be a good idea to get pregnant, but they both appear unconcerned about the repercussions.

Should I mind my own business and hope for the best? Or should I be worried about the future health of their expected child? -- WORRIED GRAMMA-TO-BE DEAR WORRIED: As a loving grandparent, you will always be concerned about your grandchildren’s welfare. What you should do is suggest that your son and daughter-in-law discuss their family medical histories with her OB/GYN and take their lead from the doctor. (If they haven’t already done so.)

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

Ace Tarberry shines at the World University Games –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BY DAVE GREGORY THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

Mt. Washington Valley Ski Team and Kennett High alum Ace Tarberry competed in the World University Games in Erzurum, Turkey Jan. 26-Feb. 7.

He was the top American in the Super G and the Super Combined placing sixth and seventh, respectively. He took seventh place honors in the giant slalom and slalom.

The World University Games bring together the best collegiate skiers in the world to compete in Super Giant Slalom, Giant Slalom, slalom and Super Combined. The Palondoken Ski Area hosted the alpine events.

Ace was the only Eastern region athlete to be selected to the Games. A total of six men and six women were selected from the USA. Ace has been traveling with the U.S. Ski Team as an invitee competing in on the Europa Cup circuit since early January. (The Europa Cup is the next level down from the World Cup). He took second in the 2010 NCAA GS Championships in at Steamboat, Colo. and earned All American honors in GS and slalom.

Fellow MWVST and KHS alumnus Leanne Smith was selected to compete in the World Alpine Championships beginning Feb. 8 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

The World Championships are held every two years. She placed 19th there in the Super G Tuesday. Julia Mancuso took the silver. Earlier this season she had her best World Cup finish of her career taking eighth. Leanne has been a member of the US Ski Team since 2007 and skied in the Olympic Games last February.

The MWVST will be hosting its largest fund-raiser of the year Feb. 19 at the Grand Summit Hotel in Bartlett. Comedy night will feature the famous Maine comedian Bob Marley; a live and silent auction; appetizers and cocktails and other exciting activities.

The auction feature a safari to Africa; a trip to the Bahamas; a trip to Spain and a host of other great items. Bob Marley has been on Letterman, Conan O”Brien and all the late night shows. Tickets are $50 and all proceeds benefit the MWVST and the youth it serves.

Tickets can be purchased through the MWVST office, 3567627, online: www.mwvskiteam. com, at the hotel and at 121 Fit.

The J2 Nationals will be held at Sugarloaf in March and the US Nationals will take place at Winter Park, Colo.,

Please come out for what promises to be a terrific evening and to support the youth of our community so that more athletes can follow in Leanne and Ace’s footsteps.

That’s the wrap for now. Thank you to the Valley ski areas, merchants and supporters for the generous support of the MWVST. It is through that support that our athletes have managed to excel at all levels from entry level to the Olympics.

Dave Gregory is the Program Director/Head Coach for MWVST.
