Apple considering cheaper iPhone

SAN FRANCISCO (NY Times) — Apple has been exploring ways to broaden the appeal of the iPhone by making the popular device less expensive and allowing users to control it with voice commands.

Customers waited in line to buy the latest iPhone at the flagship Apple store in New York in June.

But contrary to published reports, Apple is not currently developing a smaller iPhone, according to people briefed on Apple’s plans who requested anonymity because the plans are confidential.

Apple’s engineers are currently focused on finishing the next version of the iPhone, which is likely to be similar in size to the current iPhone 4, said one of the people. The person said Apple was not planning to introduce a smaller iPhone any time soon. Analysts expect the new iPhone to be ready this summer.

Another person who is in direct contact with Apple also said that the company would not make a smaller iPhone at this time, in part because a smaller device would not necessarily be much cheaper to manufacture and because it would be more difficult to operate.

(NY Times) — Security forces and government supporters attacked protesters on Friday — using tear gas, batons, shotguns and grenades — in pitched street battles in Libya, Bahrain and Yemen.

The clashes followed a week of deepening unrest as protesters, emboldened by the toppling of President Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and President Zine alAbidine Ben Ali in Tunisia, have called for swift revolutions in

The severity of a Libyan crackdown on its so-called Day of Rage began to emerge Friday when a human rights advocacy group said 24 people had been killed by gunfire on Thursday and news

reports said further clashes with security forces were feared at the funerals for the dead. That apprehension also seized Bahrain, where mourners for some of the five people killed in an assault on a democracy camp a day earlier marched on Pearl Square and were fired on by security forces.

The violence has pitted a Sunni minority government against a Shiite majority in the strategic island state that is home to the American Navy’s Fifth Fleet.

Egyptians in America ponder a return LOS ANGELES (NY Times) — This week, Khaled Abou El Fadl has greeted each fellow Egyptian he sees with one word: “mabrook,” or congratulations.

But quickly, their joy over the toppling of the presidency of Hosni Mubarak gives way to a rapid string of questions. Can they raise money here in the United States to help clean up Tahrir Square? Can they help revive the economy by urging friends to invest in Egyptian companies?

Can they successfully lobby for the right to vote even though they have lived abroad for years?

That is a profound conundrum for Egyptian immigrants, many of whom left the country to escape an autocratic government and have built a prosperous life for themselves in the United States. They are eager to help rebuild their home country and wonder if they might put their talents to use there, bringing their own experience with democracy to help reshape society. And yet, many are loath to give up the very freedoms they hope to see blossom in Egypt.

Digital age is slow to arrive in rural America

COFFEEVILLE, Ala. — As the world embraces its digital age — two billion people now use the Internet regularly — the line delineating two Americas has become more broadly drawn.

There are those who have reliable, fast access to the Internet, and those who do not.

In rural America, only 60 percent of households use broadband Internet service, according to a report released Thursday by the Department of Commerce. That is 10 percent less than urban households.

Over all, 28 percent of Americans do not use the Internet at all.

The report was developed in conjunction with a national broadband map that was also released Thursday, as part of a billiondollar effort to improve Internet access in the United States, particularly in rural areas.

Pushing America’s digital expansion is a point of emphasis for President Obama, who on Thursday night held a private meeting with Silicon Valley’s elite, including Facebook’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, and Carol Bartz, president and chief executive of Yahoo.

Bill would ban hand held cell phone use while driving CONCORD — A new bill in New Hampshire would ban all handheld cell phone use while driving, and a provision would allow the police officer who is writing the citation to search the driver’s phone.

Rep. Laura Pantelakos, D-Portsmouth, and three other state representatives are pushing for the bill.

Any driver caught holding the phone to their ear while driving would be fined $100.

“You can always tell when someone is on the cell phone because they will be going along 50 or 60, and then all of a sudden drop down to 40, 30, 20, and then the conversation starts picking up again and they start picking up

the speed,” Pantelakos said.

Pantelakos said she is pretty sure the provision allowing officers to search phones will be removed. That provision has caused some to voice privacy concerns.

Legal analyst Mark Stevens said he believes such a provision would not pass constitutional muster.

“The police can’t just take things from us and look at them without a warrant,” he said.

Pantelakos said the main goal is to improve safety on the roads, and she said adults driving while talking on cell phones are setting a bad example for the younger generation.

Hospital accepts terms from insurer, but deal not signed EXETER — A deal could be close between a major insurer and a New Hampshire hospital whose rate dispute left thousands of patients in limbo.

Exeter Hospital said concerns for patients are what ultimately led it to accept terms offered by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield after eight months of haggling. But hospital officials said they’re going to be paid less to do the same amount of care.

“Last night, we actually agreed to meet Anthem’s proposed terms, the economic terms, for a three-year contract that involves substantial rate reductions over the next three-year period,” said Mark Whitney, vice president of community relations for Exeter Hospital.

Exeter Hospital said those rate reductions will cost it $10 million.

Anthem has argued that Exeter overcharges for procedures.

Ultimately, the hospital said it felt it

had no choice but to make a deal.

“As of yesterday, it became clear that Anthem wasn’t going to shift their position,” Whitney said. “They actually told us that if we didn’t get back to them by the end of the day yesterday, they were going to pull the offer off the table.”

Anthem said everything is academic until a formal agreement is in place.

“While the hospital did indicate to us on Thursday evening that they accept the terms of our proposal, nothing has been signed as of yet,” said Christopher Dugan of Anthem. Anthem said Exeter Hospital has until Monday to sign the agreement.

“And they’ve indicated just today that they need more time to study that, and we hope to hear back from them,” Dugan said.

The deadline for the hospital to sign the agreement is 5:30 p.m. Monday.

Lawmakers look at Colorado fee system

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

New Hampshire officials are looking to other states for ideas on how to fund search and rescue, but the approach they’re looking most closely at may not be the silver bullet lawmakers want.

“I’m hopeful we’re going to look toward an initiative similar to what Colorado does,” Senator Jeb Bradley said.

Colorado offers the Colorado Outdoor Recreation Search and Rescue Card, a voluntary system for hikers who want to contribute to search and rescue funding.

A CORSAR card costs $3 for a year, $12 for five years, and is available at at over 300 retailers across Colorado. The revenues go into a fund that’s also gets money from hunting and fishing licenses and snowmachine, ATV and boat registrations.

The fund then reimburses search and rescue team expenses and goes to teams for training.

“It’s prepaid insurance, in essence,” Bradley said.

But that’s not what Colorado says

the search and rescue fund is.

“There’s a bit of a misconception it’s insurance,” said Joe Carter, who works for the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, which oversees the fund.

The card gives people who don’t buy fishing licenses or register ATVs a way to contribute to the search and rescue fund, he said, that’s it.

“It doesn’t matter if you have a card or not,” he said, the fund will reimburse search teams that respond.

But the card doesn’t pay bills an individual racks up if they need a rescue, such as medical expenses or emergency transport.

But the big problem for New Hampshire isn’t confusion about what the card represents, it’s the revenues the CORSAR card generates, or fails to generate.

According to the fund’s annual report, the card brings in roughly $60,000 a year, about 15 percent of the fund’s annual budget between $450,000 to $500,000.

That’s far short of the $270,000 the $3 fee proposal would supposedly see next page

generate for the New Hampshire search and rescue fund, presently funded at about $180,000 each year.

The Colorado fund spends about $100,000 on rescues each year, Carter said, and the rest of the fund goes to administration and training.

New Hampshire Fish and Game spends about $260,000 each year on rescues, $80,000 more than goes in the search and rescue fund.

Colorado spends more time rescuing sportsmen, Carter said, than anyone else, so the modest contribution from the CORSAR cards isn’t a big deal.

“We feel like it’s pretty well dialed in as far as the numbers go,” he said.

needs to be fixed,” said state Rep. Gene Chandler, R-Bartlett, one of the bill’s sponsors who spoke in favor of the bill at the committee hearing. “There will be changes to it.”

But even if it doesn’t move forward as written, Chandler said, “the intent of this bill was to raise awareness of the problem with the search and rescue fund,” which it did.

Hikers account for nearly 50 percent of rescues, according to Fish and Game, but the money for the search and rescue fund comes from boat,

The Colorado fund spends about $100,000 on rescues each year, Carter said, and the rest of the fund goes to administration and training. New Hampshire Fish and Game spends about $260,000 each year on rescues, $80,000 more than goes in the search and rescue fund.

But in New Hampshire, where more than half the rescues are hikers, such a distribution isn’t as appealing. Officials will have to do quite a bit of tweaking to make a similar product fill the hole here.

ATV and snow-machine registrations.

Whenever the fund is low, Fish and Game dips into its own resources, including hunting and fishing license fees. Nowhere do hikers as a user group contribute.

While SB 128 doesn’t appear to be the answer, Bradley said, “we’re going to have to get creative and solve this problem.”

“More and more people are out all the time,” he said “People are out in more extreme conditions. I’m a big hiker, so I’m well aware the vast majority of hikers are well prepared, but things happen.”

Tele-Talk

Do you think the southern leg of the bypass is worth building without the central and northern sections?

Another day, another bypass study. More than 15 years ago, the state determined that a bypass around the congested areas of Conway Village and North Conway would solve the town’s traffic problems. There were three phases to the bypass: a southern leg around Conway Village; and central and northern sections around the commercial strip and North Conway Village. None of the sections have yet been built, and only the southern leg remains in the state’s 10-year highway plan. Some town officials believe it should be all or nothing, and that building the southern leg alone would cause more traffic problems elsewhere. The state is now looking at how the southern leg would affect traffic patterns without the central and northern sections.

This week’s Tele-Talk: Do you think the southern leg of the bypass is worth building without the central and northern sections?

Call 733-5822 Saturday and Sunday and leave your comments on our machine. You may fax your responses to 356-8360 or e-mail them to news@conwaydailysun.com. Comments can also be posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page. Results will be published Tuesday.

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Presidents are Complicated President Barack Obama hopes to overhaul the tax code. That must mean he’s channeling Ronald Reagan again. He has continued to prosecute the war in Afghanistan. That means he’s taken a page from George W. Bush. He’s been willing to engage America’s opponents. That means he’s a carbon copy of Jimmy Carter.

But wait. He pushed his health care overhaul through Congress. That makes him different from Bill Clinton. He’s reluctant to levy new taxes to attack the deficit. That separates him from George H.W. Bush.

Now that we celebrate Presidents Day (the third Monday in February) rather than Lincoln’s birthday (Feb. 12) or Washington’s birthday (Feb. 22), we tend more than ever to look at presidents as a group, a subspecies all its own, and we measure our chief executives by how they conform with their predecessors and how they differ.

So when we consider Obama’s speaking style, we compare him with John F. Kennedy; when we examine his attempts to forge international coalitions, we compare him with the first President Bush; and when we weigh his willingness to take on entrenched Democratic interests, we compare him with President Clinton. Sometimes the president does this himself.

Not so long ago he spoke privately with a confidant about how his communication style differs from Reagan’s. It wasn’t that he was trying to ape Reagan, as the newsmagazines have been saying. It was that he was trying to learn from Reagan, only to find that what Reagan had — a way of looking at the world that was instinctive, not intellectual — cannot be learned. In Reagan’s day, his partisans cried: Let Reagan be Reagan. Perhaps the lesson for Obama is to let Obama be Obama. But that’s another column.

Though presidents share many characteristics, they leave their own stamp on the office, reshaping it for all who follow. Consider how different William Howard Taft was from Theodore Roosevelt — a difference that proved fatal to Taft, who came in third when he ran for re-election — and how different Kennedy was from Dwight D. Eisenhower. In 1914, the radical journalist John Reed compared Woodrow Wilson in the White House with Theodore Roosevelt: “There was none of that violent slamming of doors, clamor of voices, secretaries rushing to and fro, and the sense of great national issues being settled in the antechamber that characterized Roosevelt’s term in the White House. The window curtains swayed in a warm breeze; things were unhurried, yet the feeling in that room was of powerful organization, as if no moment were wasted — as if an immense amount of work was being done.”

No one wrote that about Warren G. Harding, or even about Reagan.

So it is not possible to make facile generalizations, such as saying American presidents are introverts (Richard Nixon was, Bill Clinton wasn’t); or that they are introspective (Calvin Coolidge surprisingly so, George H.W. Bush stunningly not so); or even intellectual (Obama is, Franklin Roosevelt wasn’t).

It’s not possible to say that they are people persons (Lyndon Johnson was, Wilson wasn’t); or that they are religious (Carter was, Reagan wasn’t); or that they are steeped in, and steered by, history

(Kennedy was, George W. Bush wasn’t); or that they are formal in style (Nixon was, Ford wasn’t).

The best you can say is that most of them like golf (Eisenhower, the Bushes and Clinton especially) and that all of them since Franklin Roosevelt, who was stricken with polio after having an active early adulthood, were fit. Five of the last six presidents were joggers. I will leave it to others to speculate why two of the last five were obsessed with clearing brush, but surely there is a metaphor in there somewhere.

Though many presidents came from the legislative branch, a few months in the executive branch is usually enough to clear away the romance of Congress. Harry S. Truman, a former senator, was contemptuous of the Senate, and Lyndon Johnson, known as perhaps the greatest master of the Senate, was even more so.

“The Congress has shown an inclination to treat a president with the same kind of consideration it extends to our birds and other wildlife,” said Coolidge, a former governor, after Congress appropriated $48,000 for a presidential retreat.

What ties most presidents together is frustration.

The late presidential scholar Richard Neustadt used to say that the president possesses little more than the power to persuade, and recent presidents have discovered the limits of that particular power, which is not delineated in the Constitution.

“Presidents think they can move the public,” George C. Edwards, who holds a chair in presidential studies at Texas A&M University, said in an interview. “They just won an election. They think they are very persuasive fellows. But when it comes to taking your case to the public, they almost all fail all the time. That’s because there’s opposition to anything significant. The public never pays attention. The public’s views are only reinforced, seldom changed. And when the public does change views, it’s not because the president has persuaded them.

It’s because the world has changed — because, for example, the Nazis are marching across Europe and maybe we ought to re-examine isolationism.”

But presidents also live complicated lives. Wilson watched from the sidelines as the Clayton Antitrust Act was passed because his wife was dying. John Tyler’s wife died in the White House. William McKinley spent a good deal of his presidency ministering to his ailing wife. Coolidge’s son died while he was in office. Kennedy’s wife gave birth to a son nearly six weeks early only to see him die two days later.

“Presidents are people, too,” Kenneth M. Duberstein, who was Reagan’s chief of staff, said in an interview. “They have families, they have needs, they have hobbies, they have hobby horses. Is it normal to go see your kids play basketball on a Saturday morning?

Damn straight. Is it nice to go back home? Of course it is. Presidents do those things. The problem they have is that they are in a bubble. They don’t walk through the front entrances anymore. They enter hotels through kitchens. That’s the thing people forget. The president is not supernatural.”

That, as we mark another Presidents Day, may be the main thing all presidents have in common.

Keep commission, planning board intact To the editor: My name is Eric Dube. I am 20 years old, a registered Tamworth voter, a life long resident of this town, and college student. I am writing to you today because I am not able to be present at voting day and town meeting on account of needing to be at school.

At school I am proud to tell my peers about my town. I tell them about swimming lessons at White Lake, hiking Mount Wonalancet, and working at Helen Steele’s farm. I remember playing soccer at the recreation field on Durrell Road; this is the road where my father lives and where I was born. I have always called this town home and I cannot seem to stay away from it for long.

We all know that these are tough economic times. We all know that New Hampshire’s population is getting older. We all know that my

generation is not sticking around. We will return to our hometowns if they stay similar to how we remember them from our childhood.

My friends and I remember Tamworth as beautiful, scenic, and where your nextdoor neighbor was not a box store, but an individual or family that you had a meaningful relationship with.

I am writing to ask you to vote in Tamworth’s town meeting to keep the conservation commission and planning board intact. The work that they both do helps Tamworth to be the beautiful town that we all know.

Preserving the town’s natural resources will entice my generation to stay, and in turn will keep Tamworth in the hands of the local population who know what is best for the town. Please give us this reason to return.

To relive 3/5th rule today is pointless To the editor: I have taken Diane Gurien’s advice and have soberly contemplated the 3/5th rule regarding slavery in the U.S. Constitution. What I have found, and this may be surprising to Ms. Gurien, is that slavery was outlawed in the United States in the 19th Century. Indeed President Lincoln (a Republican no less) freed slaves by an executive order. Black people

are now free to pursue happiness in any way they wish. Why the majority of black people appear to vote lockstep for Democrats however, is beyond me. So any grandstanding being done to relive the 3/5th rule over 200 hundred years hence and assign blame is pointless on Ms. Gurien’s part. Must be a slow day in Kearsarge.

Cut borrowing and spending to 2008 levels To the editor: Here’s my take on Obama’s outrageous budget and my plea to Congress. Stop “investing” my money; I can do that on my own. Cut government borrowing and spending to 2008 levels; don’t simply

“freeze” it at the levels after Obama’s 84 percent spending increase and binges of the last 2 years. Sober up! Cut spending. And please, no more useless “stimulus” programs.

Commercial Realtors see uptick in local economy Page 14 — THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, February 19, 2011

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — As The Conway Daily Sun's Feb. 12 Tele-Talk question proved, it would seem that just about everyone has an opinion about what should be done with the 2.51-acre former Fandangle's Restaurant site at the gateway to North Conway's Route 16 commercial strip.

News about a possible sale of that site is pending.

In the meantime, it leads many to ponder: Just what is the health of the commercial real estate and shopping market throughout the Mount Washington Valley?

Bayard Kennett, Dick Badger, Joe Berry and Earle Wason — four leading commercial Realtors and/ or landlords who have witnessed the ups and downs of several local

economic booms and busts over the years — say things are still tough but are looking up from the downturn of the past few years.

Also interviewed about shopping trends was Dot Seybold, general manager of Settlers' Green Outlet Village.

“I have not seen this level of activity for two and a half years.

I think it's sustainable,” said Kennett, president of RE/MAX Presidential of North Conway, in an interview at the Sun Feb. 16. “I'd give it a C-plus or a B-minus today, versus a D-plus or a C-minus a year ago.”

Kennett added that “the activity I have seen has principally been since mid-summer 2010 on.”

“I am seeing a significant uptick in leasing calls which, to me, says retailers who were afraid to stick see ECONOMY page 14

their necks out are now interested in creating something and doing something,” said Kennett.

“I think that is a precursor of stronger retail economic climate versus buildings selling. As a recovery slowly gains momentum,” he added, “what we are seeing is new or relocating retailers who are interested in getting back into the business.”

Berry also was upbeat about the start of a rebound.

“We feel North Conway Village has weathered the recent economic downturn extremely well,” said Berry Friday, at the start of the February vacation week.

“Vacancy remains low for our commercial spaces, and demand in North Conway Village always seems strong. In 2010, we saw eight village businesses expand and move into larger spaces; and we have already had two more businesses expand into larger spaces since the first of this year.”

Those developments underscore the fact that many local businesses experienced marked increases in revenue in 2010 over 2009, said Berry.

On the downside, the large commercial space in the Eastern Slope Inn opened up in 2010.

That space was home to Eastern Mountain Sports for 35 years before it moved two years ago to Settlers' Crossing. It was most

recently occupied by Zimmermann’s/ North Face and is still available.

“Currently we are considering a few potential retail prospects,” said Berry, who added that a portion of that space currently features a New England Ski Museum exhibit honoring the history of skiing in North Conway.

“We also use the space to host events, such as the upcoming Mount Washington Valley Chamber’s eighth annual Chili Cookoff on March 5,” said Berry.

All those interviewed shared Berry's enthusiasm for the $6 million investment being made by the new owners of Cranmore Mountain Resort to transform the ski area into a year-round operation with a Mountain Coaster, tubing and more.

“This is something the entire valley should be very aware of.

Cranmore is truly becoming an exciting year-round attraction, and this will continue to introduce more visitors to the [the valley and the village],” said Berry. ••• In a recent interview, Badger, of Badger Realty of North Conway and Jackson, took a cyclical overview of the ebbs and flows of the local leasing business.

“There are always periods of time when things get overbuilt — when there are too many restaurants, too many motels, too many retail shops — and you know it

gets overcrowded. But it always sorts itself out,” said Badger, who in addition to selling and leasing properties for clients also is a landlord for commercial properties in the region.

“Eventually,” said Badger, who has been in local real estate for well over 40 years, “they get absorbed and everything goes along fine. It's not as though everybody goes away — the few failures close up; but that's just a transition we go through as we get overbuilt. But the town keeps growing and square footage eventually gets absorbed.”

In a sort of marketplace Darwinism of survival of the fittest, also known as capitalism, Badger says in downturns the weak get eliminated first.

“When you have an economic downturn, that cuts the legs off of those who are borderline,” said Badger.

He shared Berry's outlook on the health of businesses in North Conway Village as strong.

“I think the health of the village is pretty good. There is very little vacancy, maybe one or two out of a dozen, so it's nothing desperate — the demand is still here.

The village is strong and we have good people here,” said Badger.

Badger repeated what he has said many times over the past: that Mount Washington Valley's role as a destination resort will always draw visitors — and businesses.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, February 19, 2011— Page 17

A look at the valley from south to north

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Taking a south-to-north look from Conway to North Conway shows a commercial real estate market that is somewhat improved over last year.

Bayard Kennett of RE/MAX Presidential outlined some sales that are pending for commercial properties he is representing. “Probably the brightest spot at this moment is the Conway Marketplace where Bea’s, Aubuchon’s, the Card Shop and Ruthie’s Flower Shop are located.

The complex is under agreement and is to be sold, pending the correction of an old gas station tank at the site that was there in the 1980s and a small site that is polluted,� said Kennett.

He said there are four vacancies in that complex, including half of the second building where Conway Eye Care formerly was located.

The Shurfine plaza just north of the Saco River was listed for sale, but that listing was pulled, according to Kennett.

Anchored by the Shurfine store and the New Hampshire state liquor store, he termed that complex’s health as “strong.�

Kennett said he has held talks with a party that is interested in creating an assisted living facility at the commerciallyzoned Lovejoy property on the opposite side of Route 16 just north of the Saco River.

He also said he has had discussions with two prospective tenants to build on a site at the Mount Washington Valley Technology Village.

Meanwhile, and unrelated to Kennett’s dealings, a proposed workforce housing rental complex across from the Shurfine

plaza remains stalled, developers say, due to an inability to obtain financing — the same problem that has stalled the proposed new Glen House hotel project across from the base of the Mount Washington Auto Road.

Heading into North Conway, Kennett said that the once dormant Northway Plaza is a beehive of shopping activity, thanks to it being anchored by TJ Maxx and Christmas Tree Shop.

But there are still signs of the hard times.

The former Wendy’s restaurant, for example, closed for two years, remains closed and available for lease.

Perhaps the most sad visual representation of the downturn in recent years of North Conway’s once vibrant outlet market along the Route 16 strip is the vacant White Mountain Plaza, formerly home to L.L. Bean, before it moved a mile south to Settlers’ Crossing two years ago.

Kennett is the listing agent for the site, and says that he is speaking with two prospective tenants.

In other significant developments in 2010, Cranmore Mountain Resort was purchased in June by the owners of Jiminy Peak of Massachusetts. The new owners have pumped $6 million into the 1938-opened ski area, including adding a year-round Mountain Coaster.

A few months later, Peak Resorts, the owners of Attitash and Crotched Mountain in New Hampshire, purchased Wildcat Mountain in October and added a new year-round Nor-’Easter Mountain Coaster at Attitash in the fall.

Local business owners say both of the new year-round attractions will add to

the vitality of all tourism-dependent businesses in the region.

In other transactions of the year, Redstone Variety and Sid’s Valley Food and Beverage were sold to new buyers. The Scenic Vista convenience store also was sold in October.

Big Dave’s Bagels opened next to ComputerPort in Redstone near Eagle’s Way. In other developments, the North Conway Hannaford undertook a store renovation that is due to be completed this spring.

New England Mountain Sports moved into the formerly vacant store that many years ago was home to Dansk, one of the first outlets in North Conway, and most recently Louis Garneau. Close Knit Sisters yarn shop opened at the Red Barn Outlet.

The Rugged Mill opened in the site next to the North Conway Twin Theater that was formerly occupied by the Framed Art Superstore, which relocated in spring 2009 to near White Birch Books.

The Vintage Bakery opened on Kearsarge Street in 2010.

Also in the village, the New England Cupcakery occupied the first floor of the relocated former SAU 9 building across from the Eastern Slope Inn. Also in that building is It’s My Girlfriend’s, which formerly was located in Reporter Court.

Late in the year, Frisky Lemons Lemonade opened in the village at the former Teenie Beenie site next to Olympia Sports.

The North Conway Village Association in 2010 revitalized, putting on a hot air ballon festival in June and sponsored fireworks for New Year’s eve 2009 and 2010. see COMMERICAL page 54

“I don't think people give credit enough to the valley — we are probably the largest resort area in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont and we probably have more restaurants, more retail operations, more activities (we are surrounded by the White Mountain National Forest), and we have much more to offer than any other competing region.

Why did Sunday River come down here to sell packages with all the inns? Because all their market is staying down here so they came down here to draw people out of our market to go to their ski area,� said Badger.

He said things are beginning to look up nationally regarding the economy, but as the ongoing municipal and school budget deliberations continue to prove, things are tight and tough in this four-season resort valley in the shadow of Mount Washington. “The economy has got to work its way out of it and I think it's going to. Will it be a tough year? Yes — but then in 2012, 2013, we'll I think start to see it get back to normal.

Not boom period, but normal,� said Badger, noting that with excess residential inventory, and with mortgage rates having been low, now is a great time to buy for anyone looking to buy a residential property. “It's a classic case of supply and demand,� he said.

It’s the 20th anniversary update of his first book which has become the “bible of backcountry skiing.”

Helen Gullberg Dyer

Helen Gullberg Dyer, 98, died Feb. 11, 2011 at the Center for Extended Care in Amherst, Mass.

Born in 1912 of Swedish immigrant parents, Helen grew up in Newport, R.I. While working in Boston she became a member of Old South Church. In 1934 she met Henry Dyer, then a young graduate student at Harvard, in a church theatrical production, and they were married that year in Gordon Chapel at the church.

She studied in Boston to become a secretary after graduating from Rogers High School in Newport.

While working in Boston she became a member of Old South church theatrical production, and they were married that year in Gordon Chapel at the church.

Following the birth of their third child in 1946, Helen and Henry lived in Brookline, Mass. In 1952 the family moved to Princeton, N.J. when Henry joined the College Board and later Educational Testing Service. For several years Helen worked as a secretary in the Princeton Theological Seminary. She joined a Swedish reading group to refresh and extend her knowledge of her first language, and after her husband retired they traveled to Sweden.

Helen was an avid reader, interested in a wide variety of subjects. She volunteered for a number of church and

civic organizations, and especially enjoyed playing in the handbell choir at Nassau Presbyterian Church in Princeton.

In the late 1940s, Helen and Henry bought property in Eaton Center where the family spent most summers on Thurston Pond. When in Eaton, Helen was active in The Ladies Circle and participated in their summer fundraising. Many long time friendships developed in those summer months.

Helen moved to Applewood in Amherst Massachusetts in 1998 to be close to family. After a period of failing health she moved to The Center for Extended Care in 2007.

The family would like to extend their thanks and gratitude to the wonderful staff who cared for Helen in her final years.

Helen is survived by her three children, Janet Bridgham, of Eaton Center, Nancy Babb of Amherst, Mass., and Paul Dyer of Caldana, Italy; eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Her husband predeceased her in 1995.

‘Fantasticks’ is fun, light theater THEATER REVIEW

BY ALEC KERR

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

It is easy to see why “The Fantasticks” is the world's longest running musical with its original off-Broadway production running 42 years and 17,162 performances. The show is inoffensive, non-confrontational, has some catchy tunes, has some good laughs and is just about impossible to actively dislike. It is light entertainment at its purest.

Last night Arts in Motion opened their production of “The Fantasticks,” a fundraiser for Dollars For Scholars, at the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center at Fryeburg Academy. It will be performed their again Saturday, Feb. 19, at 2 p.m. before switching to Kennett High School's Loynd Auditorium Saturday, Feb. 26, and Sunday, Feb. 27.

The show, a reworking of the Greek story of Pyramus and Thisbe, is about two fathers (Keith Force and Rob Owen) who pretend to feud to trick their children, Matt (Matthew Stoker) and Luisa (Emilie Jensen) into falling in forbidden love. With the help of El Gallo (Rafe Matregrano), a bandit who also doubles as the narrator, the fathers stage an elaborate abduction of Luisa that turns Matt into a hero and thus ends the fictitious feud.

This may sound like I've given away the whole show, but things don't immediately head to a happy ending.

Things become complicated in the

second act and love is given a test by El Gallo.

The production is well cast, although at times uneven. Jensen is a stand out as Luisa, an ugly duckling who went mad when she discovered she had become pretty. The character is naïve and childlike and Jensen brings both qualities across perfectly and is consistently funny throughout.

She also has a fabulous powerhouse that is almost too powerful as she, at times, drowns out Stoker and Matregrano. Both Stoker and Matregrano are strong singers in their own right, but they struggle to reach Jensen's volume. The actors are not using any sort of microphones for the Fryeburg production, but should have amplification at Kennett, so the differences in volume will probably be balanced out at those later performances.

Stoker, like Jensen, does a nice job capturing a dimly innocent quality as Matt, who is older than Luisa, but certainly not wiser. Their flirtation is on the level of elementary school playground and is silly and sweet.

Matregrano makes a good narrator of the piece and provides some moments of menace. He is essentially a puppeteer pulling everyone's strings.

This is literalized in the show's best number “Round and Round” in which, through clever choreography, it appears as if Matregrano is controling Jensen's movements. see next page

Force and Owen are funny and have a good bantering chemistry as the fathers, but while they act their roles just fine, their singing is lacking. It is fine when they are singing a duet together because their limited singing abilities provide songs like “Never Say No” a goofy charm. It becomes more distracting though when they are paired with the other cast members who all have superior voices. Even so, they are comic characters, so you can give the singing a pass.

by El Gallo. Holden has a lot of fun with his character, an aging performer, who at least sort of remembers the many parts he has played. Van Rossum, dressed as an Indian and speaking with an inexplicable, but quite amusing cockney accent, also earns some big laughs.

So, while the production is flawed, director George Wiese has done a nice job of working with the cast he has to create a show that on balance is an entertaining, easygoing evening of theater.

How I Go to the Woods Ordinarily I go to the woods alone, with not a single friend, for they are all smilers and talkers and therefore unsuitable.

I don’t really want to be witnessed talking to the catbirds Or hugging the old black oak tree. I have my way of praying, as you no doubt have yours.

Besides, when I am alone I can become invisible. I can sit on top of a dune as motionless as an uprise of weeds, until the foxes run by unconcerned.

I can hear the almost unhearable sound of the roses singing ••• If you have ever gone to the woods with me, I must love you very much.

I liked that last line, I thought, as I started up the packed down Highwatch Trail on Green Mountain, early Thursday morning. My girlfriend, who I loved hiking with, would fit easily into that category.

There was an early morning coolness in the air, but the temperature was rising, and I wondered if the packed trail would be solid enough to support me on top of the deep snow the rest of the way.

On my right behind a few trees, was the large campus of Lakeview NeuroRehabilitation Center. Then I climbed past it, and it felt more like a hike in the mountains. I broke through the crust a few inches here and there, enough to keep my attention on footing.

It was good to be there, alone in the quiet. I didn’t know if I lived up to the awareness so easily proclaimed in Oliver’s poem. But also it didn’t matter.

Life was a process, not a destination, where one had already arrived.

About half way up, deer tracks converged on the trail, and since they were solid from the cold, I walked on them. Then I realized that all sign

of hiker prints had disappeared. A frigid wind had blown over the ridge recently, and obliterated all tracks. I followed the deer tracks, until they too dissipated, then had to post hole.

I thought: I enjoy friendships on the trail, as well as solitary hikes. I remembered a passage that a woman had recently written on a hiking Website about the joy of outdoor friendships. It went like this: “I have such compatible friends, and enough of them, that I rarely have the opportunity to hike alone. Yep, I’m bragging. This wasn’t the case before I started hiking 15 years or so ago. Not wanting to sound too sappy or sentimental, I am so grateful for the wise encouragement, good humor, steady support, intellectually stimulating, sympathetic loving friends I’ve made.

I can’t imagine where I’d be in this world without them, or why I didn’t find anything similar to this in my earlier life.”

On this hike, I thought, I had been reflecting about two sides in each of us — the side that needs solitude, and the side that needs to share it. I reached the fire tower, none worse for wear from a little post-holing, and started up it, my MICROspikes helping on icy steps. Then I sat on the bench on the platform just below the cab. The 360 degree view was limited because of treetops, but still good. Mount Washington was bright white. To the south, I looked long at Province Lake, where my family had a camp for a few years, back when we climbed Green Mountain.

I thought about earlier that morning. My friend Bob Gordon, an artist in Conway, had called early, and said that he was going for a hike up Mount Hedgehog with his buddy Buck. Did I want to come?

I had plans to be south of the valley in the morning, and decided to instead do a quick hike up Green Mountain.

Later, I found out that they had a cosmic hike on the warm day.

So didn’t I.

their characteristic eight-hoots.

The barred owl makes a host of other sounds too, including squirrel-like barking, monkey-like hoots and yells, and even blood curdling screams! This warns other owls that this year-round breeding domain is taken. If an intruding owl strays in the area after several warnings, the owl will fly to the intruder and try to use size and even more aggressive calling to scare them off. But, physical contact is usually the last resort, as their sharp yellow talons and beaks may be deadly to both fighters.

Barred owls prefer mature forests and heavily wooded swamps.

Their need for a nesting cavity demands older trees, whether within a stub broken off by a windstorm, or excavated by a pileated woodpecker. Sometimes old hawk or crow nests are used because this owl is a lousy nestbuilder, so most often the nest is found inside a large, deep hollow of a cavity. The barred owl commonly lives around shady, thickly wooded areas with water about it, or swampy areas. It is speculated that it likes to inhabit such wet

wooded areas because these areas of dark retreat are less likely to be disturbed by timber activities so they can roost in larger, rotting trees. There is often nearby open acreage for foraging.

The female lays an average of two to four eggs. These are white, almost perfectly round, and which feel rough textured. The eggs are laid, one every two to three days. The incubation period, which begins when the first egg is laid like most owls, lasts 28 to 33 days. While the female is on the nest, the male brings her food. At first the young are covered with pure white down. A second longer downy coat — that is Buffy at the base and white on the ends — replaces this look after a couple of weeks. The head, neck, and under parts are barred, at this point with light brown; wing coverts and scapulars are similarly barred but with broader bars of deeper brown and white tipped feathers. By the first winter this plumage will become more adult like.

The young exit the nest at about the age of four weeks.

When any young barred owl first leaves this nest, it cannot fly, so instead crawls out of the

nest by using its beak and talons to move onto nearby branches.

The young barred owl climbs by grabbing the bark of the tree with beak and talons, flaps its wings, then let’s go, stretches its neck and grabs higher up with its beak once again. The young can fly around 35-40 days but the parents continue to care for the young for at least four months; this is much longer than other owl species. When barred owl young do move out, they may go as far as six-miles before they settle down.

Barred owls are fairly sedentary, a behavior that may contribute to establishing long-term, monogamous pair bonds and nest territoriality. Pairs tend to mate for life and keep the same nests for many a year. The life span of captive barred owls has been documented as long as 23 years.

‘Black Swan’ Darren Aronofsky's “Black Swan” is deeply disturbing, but not because of graphic imagery, although there are some unsetting visuals. Much like Aronofsky's first two films, “Pi” and “Requiem for a Dream,” this is a film about a descent into madness that doesn't go for cheap thrills. This is a

Weekend warrior John Macdonald

It’s just a jump

Get ready for an absolutely great vacation week of skiing and sliding. The weatherman has a great week planned.

Are you looking for a dynamic addition to your ski technique? Interested in staying ahead of your skis from the middle to the end of the race course. You need a big “huck” move forward — out of the old turn and into the new turn.

You can’t see it, but all your hot racers have a powerful move forward in their skiing. Try this: Take your skis off, flex down and swing your arms back, and jump forward just like a swimmer diving into the lap pool. Jump forward as far as you can, landing in balance on both feet. Do this a few times, powerfully extending forward.

Now put your skis on and start skiing and jump off the snow and forward to start each new carve-landing on your edges and instantly carving into your new turn.

Do this every turn for a few runs. Most importantly, this move is a lot of fun and it also gets you accurately and powerfully moving forward into each turn.Now use this powerful move, without coming off the snow, both in and out of the course.

You’ll love what this powerful “huck” forward does for your skiing.

by Mark Heyman, Andres Heinz and John J. McLaughlin explores how far is too far in the pursuit of great art.

There is a much talked about sexual encounter between Portman and Mila Kunis as a fellow dancer and potential rival. This isn't a gratuitous sex scene and isn't likely to titillate because in context there is an uneasy tension that turns nightmarish. The awakening of Nina's sexuality is key to the character's unraveling.

The film is up for five Oscars include best picture, best director and best actress for Portman. It would be a massive upset if she didn't get the award. Portman's Nina is a performer who ultimately loses herself to a character she must betray. It is easy to imagine that Portman had to be careful to not have life imitate art because her performance is exposed, raw and pushes things to the limit.

‘Blue Valentine’ As the title implies, “Blue Valentine” is not a sunny look at love. This is an often painfully honest and realistic look at relationships. It is a film that shows both the good and the bad, but also just the routine — the little details that build to the big problems that can end a relationship.

Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling stars as a married couple with a young daughter. Williams' Cindy is a nurse and Gosling's Dean is a high school dropout who works as a painter.

The marriage is clearly stagnated.

Dean is oblivious, but it is obviously wearing on Cindy.

between the present and flashbacks of when they first met and fell in love.

We are shown the beginning and the end of the relationship. The how and why behind the disintegration of the relationship are left out.

It would seem like the film's essential drama is missing, but the film works because of the striking juxtaposition of the early days of the relationship with the current situation. It isn't hard to imagine how things got the way they did. The characters are drawn so realistically and recognizably that it is easy for the audience to fill in the blanks.

Much of the film was improvised and both actors are so naturalistic that it creates situations that feel authentic.

Scenes of their first date have all the awkwardness of a first encounter, but also the sense of attraction and flirtation. What rings even more true are the quiet confrontations that mask bigger issues that inevitably come to a head. To the film's credit, neither person in the relationship is vilified.

Williams isn't made into an angelic nurse and Gosling doesn't become a deadbeat alcoholic wife beater. Both characters are flawed individuals.

Williams received an Oscar nomination for her work and it is very good, but Gosling may be better. He creates two distinct versions of Dean, and, while the younger version was hardly perfect, we are sad to see what the older version has become: a good person who had potential, but wasted it and regressed to an infantile version of himself.

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your goals are lofty. You’ll wonder why you had to choose such a difficult road for yourself. It’s because deep inside you realize that if you have to work hard for something, you’ll enjoy it more.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’ll be negotiating. Start by asking for what you know is too much to ask.

You’ll ultimately accept less, and the other person will feel he is getting a fantastic deal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Before you let yourself get worked up over a situation, remember that you carry your emotions on an atomic level.

That is to say that every atom of every cell is encoded with the feeling.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Friendship is the foundation of every relationship, and you are good at making friends. Today you will become very interested in someone’s life, and that person will be interested in you, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re still getting to know someone. Find some small way to test this person’s loyalty before you invest too much in the relationship. You’ll probably be delighted by what you learn, but better to be on the safe side.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 19).

Your tenacity will pay off. The past sacrifices you’ve made will net you a big reward this year. Over the next three weeks, you will gain the respect of friends who are honest and true. June brings tremendous luck for business.

You’ll finally let yourself be adored and taken care of in August. Travel is best in May. Capricorn and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 11, 20, 38 and 45.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Friends may lean on you emotionally in a way that feels uncomfortable to you. It’s only because you care and want to help so much. Know that just listening will be enough for today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re not a saint. You’ll revel in your human nature, and it will be a positive thing for you. You have something in common with each person you meet, which brings you great comfort and enjoyment today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s not so much about who you are and what you look like today. It’s how you behave when engaging others that matters most. People will appreciate you because you make them feel valued.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have strong feelings for someone, but it is not wise to make this person your whole world. The more well-rounded you are the better you’ll be able to handle life’s challenges.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will take a break from all the wanting and striving. You are grateful for what you have and will not take it for granted. Because of this, you can count yourself among the truly happy people.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is an element of uncertainty in a relationship. You cannot be sure that the other person will always be into you.

However, you go forward anyhow, and somehow the doubt only adds to the passion you feel.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You understand the personalities and preferences of those around you, and you can use this knowledge to your advantage. You know how to please others and also how to influence them.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, February 19, 2011— Page 35

Today is Saturday, Feb. 19, the 50th day of 2011. There are 315 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 19, 1945, during World War II, some 30,000 U.S. Marines began landing on Iwo Jima, where they commenced a successful month-long battle to seize control of the island from Japanese forces.

On this date: In 1473, astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus was born in Torun, Poland.

In 1803, Congress voted to accept Ohio’s borders and constitution.

In 1846, the Texas state government was formally installed in Austin, with J. Pinckney Henderson taking the oath of office as governor.

In 1881, Kansas prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages.

In 1911, actress Merle Oberon was born in Bombay, India.

In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the military to relocate and intern U.S. residents, including native-born Americans, of Japanese ancestry. Japanese warplanes raided the Australian city of Darwin; at least 243 people were killed.

In 1959, an agreement was signed by Britain, Turkey and Greece granting Cyprus its independence.

In 1983, 13 people were found shot to death at a gambling club in Seattle’s Chinatown in what became known as the “Wah Mee Massacre.” (Two Chinese immigrants were convicted of the killings and sentenced to life in prison.)

In 1997, Deng Xiaoping, the last of China’s major Communist revolutionaries, died at age 92.

In 2008, an ailing Fidel Castro resigned the Cuban presidency after nearly a halfcentury in power; his brother Raul was later named to succeed him.

One year ago: The FBI concluded that Army scientist Bruce Ivins (EYE’-vinz) acted alone in the 2001 anthrax mailings that killed five people, and formally closed the case.

Today’s Birthdays: Singer Smokey Robinson is 71. Singer Bobby Rogers (Smokey Robinson & the Miracles) is 71. Actress Carlin Glynn is 71. Sony Chairman, CEO and President Howard Stringer is 69. Singer Lou Christie is 68. Actor Michael Nader is 66. Rock musician Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell) is 63. Author Amy Tan is 59. Actor Jeff Daniels is 56.

TEMPER TANTRUMS TAKE A TOLL ON OTHERWISE HAPPY COUPLE

DEAR ABBY: I have been in a relationship with “Betsy” for more than three years. For the most part, we get along well, laugh a lot, and have a good relationship.

However, Betsy has an awful temper. She gets angry easily and becomes verbally abusive, saying ugly, hateful things that hurt me deeply. I never know what tiny thing will set her off. Although she usually apologizes later, I still feel the hurt she inflicted on me during her rage.

Abby, I’m in a quandary. I love Betsy very much and am normally happy with her. But these abusive rants are beginning to take a toll on me and on our relationship.

How do you know when it’s time to leave someone -- especially when you still love that person? -- TIRED OF THE TIRADES IN TEMECULA, CALIF. DEAR TIRED: You and Betsy are overdue for a serious talk. She may have emotional problems -- or she may simply be verbally abusive. Give her a choice: Seek help for her problem or the two of you are history. No one has a right to do to someone what she’s doing to you. Unless the problem is resolved, this is the atmosphere in which your children will grow up if you should marry her.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old girl. I go to a private school where everyone gets really nice cars for their 16th birthday. I have a 2001 compact economy car. It’s nothing compared to the cars my peers get. I know if I start to drive this car when I turn 16, people will make fun of me -- behind my back and to my face. I don’t want to be seen in it.

I know I should be thankful I have a car at all, but it’s hard when you know you’ll be made fun of mercilessly. I told my parents that I don’t want to get my license because of this

problem, but I really do want it. I think the reason they’re not getting me another car is because of financial difficulties, so it would be unfair of me to ask for a different one.

Should I deal with the car I have and put up with the kidding, or wait two or three years to get my driver’s license?

-- DRIVING MYSELF CRAZY IN ST. LOUIS DEAR DRIVING YOURSELF CRAZY: You need to grow up. You’re crying poverty with a loaf of bread under both arms. You attend a private school, which isn’t cheap, and your parents have given you a car. Be grateful for what you have; most teens are not so lucky. Or consider getting a job so you can start saving for an auto upgrade.

DEAR ABBY: When I go to someone’s home for dinner, I often take a dessert or beverage for everyone to enjoy, being careful not to “outdo” my host. I would never, for example, bring an entree.

I recently met a young lady who always brings not only an entree, but also a side and one or two desserts to our host’s home, and this seems to be causing a bit of tension with our host. Am I wrong in believing this young lady is being rude?

-- A GOOD GUEST IN TEXAS DEAR GOOD GUEST: When invited to someone’s home for dinner, it is appropriate to ask, “May I bring something?”

If the answer is yes, then you should bring what the host asks for. If the answer is “Just bring yourself,” it is considered good manners to bring a small gift such as candy, an assortment of nuts or a bottle of wine if you know your hosts imbibe.

It is not appropriate to bring an entree, sides or a dessert that has not been requested. Are you sure the young lady you mentioned wasn’t asked to do what she did?

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

Elaine Wales passing a serious loss to Albany

Albany has sustained a serious loss by the death of Elaine Wales last week. Elaine courageously battled lung cancer for the last few years. She worked diligently for the town over many years. Some may say she was the heart of the Albany Historical Society. Those visiting the Chapel more than likely saw her there. She was a long time member of the Albany Civic Group. We offer our sincere condolences to Richard and their entire family in their loss.

Kathy expects the annual report will be available for pick up at town hall by the end of the week. Some who attended the services for Elaine Wales my have seen an early copy there. Both the selectmen’s and clerk’s offices will be closed on Monday in observance of Presidents’ Day. County News: According to the FBI “Property and Mortgage Fraud” is the fastest growing white collar crime. What does this mean to you? Here’s an example. Someone records a fraudulent document in the registry of deeds office making it look like they own your home or property. To make sure

you are not a victim, you can sign up for a free service made available to you through the county registry of deeds’ software company. Go on line to www.propertyfaudalert. com or call (800) 728-3858. Should a document be recorded in your name, you will be notified quickly as to the type of document and the book and page where it can be found in county records. You can then check if it is indeed your signature.

Meet the candidates event will be Feb. 19

It may not be the biggest news but can be classified as the most important: The meet the candidates event will be held in the municipal offices this Saturday Feb. 19, at 11 a.m. This will be your first chance to ask questions, evaluate qualifications and help form your decision on who to vote for. There is some consideration being given to holding a second candidate event but at this time no set date has been established, so if you can make it Saturday please do.

It was brought up at this week’s selectmen’s meeting by Chief Burdette that department member Melissa Grimstead’s work at writing and filing reports received a commendation from the state fire marshal’s office for the timely and thorough filing of incident reports of calls responded to by the Effingham Fire and Rescue department. According to both Burdette and Burbank each of these reports can take from one half to three quarters of an hour to write up. Considering that last month alone there were 25 calls, Ms. Grimstead’s efforts are considerable and add greatly to achieve a high degree of professionalism. Further fire house news: Pending Chief Burbank gave the selectmen a sheaf of SOP’s (standard operating procedure) related to the duties, jobs and expected levels of education required for all members of our department.

A word from your reporter: It was a pleasure to see that the relationship between the current and future chiefs of our department is based on the principle that we, the citizens, want a well-run, dependable and "professional" volunteer department. Any transition carries the danger of malfunction. It is good to know that these two men are trying to do the best job they can with no apparent rancor.

Further conversation and discussion at the selectmen’s meeting: Ms. Blair Folts of the Green Mountain Conservation Group spoke highly of her site walk through the on-going timber harvest on town land behind the transfer station and off of Wedgewood road.

MS. F. was accompanied by Town Forester Jeff Libby, Mr. Harry Libby, Selectmen Sue Slack, members of the Conservation Commission and Mr. Rick van de Phol. All were there to view certain concerns related to the cut. Ms. Foltz spoke highly of the professionalism shown by Town forester Libby and in general about how much everyone on the site walk learned.

Dying Consciously Workshop offered Feb. 25-26 CONWAY — In the West, we no longer remember how to die with grace and dignity. Families do not know how to come to closure with the passing of a loved one. Many people die in fear, with unresolved issues, not having said the “I love yous” and “I forgive yous” that would be so healing for them and their families. We have made death invisible, thinking that if we ignore it long enough, it will go away.

The message of the Dying Consciously program developed by the Four Winds Society (www.dyingconsciously.org) is that we can come to the end of a life with grace.

There will be a community Dying Consciously training organized for those who wish to learn this pro-

09 Kia Spectra 4dr EX

cess to prepare for the death of a loved one or to assist in a hospice or hospital setting. The Dying Consciously training provides specific steps to bring reconciliation and healing both to the loved ones and to the person dying. The workshop is both informational and experiential, with opportunities for practice and feedback. Resources are offered to help all involved prepare medically, emotionally and spiritually.

T. Murray Wellness Center, Inc. and Visiting Nurse and Hospice Care Services of Northern Carroll County have teamed up to offer this program for the hospice staff and volunteers and to interested people in the commu-

09 Ford Focus 4dr SE

nity. On Friday, Feb. 25, starting at 7 p.m., Julie Hannon will talk about Living and Dying Consciously and introduce the program. The talk is open to the community for a $10 fee. Then, on Saturday, Feb. 26 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Hannon will teach the dying consciously training. This is also open to the public for the cost of $125 (this includes Friday evening’s talk for anyone participating in both). The entire program will take place at the T. Murray Wellness Center which is located at 24 Pleasant Street in Conway. Space for the workshop is limited so anyone who is interested should call reserve a space at (603) 447-3112.

Beverly A. Paul

NORTH ATTLEBORO, Mass. — Beverly A. (Harvie) Paul, age 86, died Thursday, February 10, 2011 at Madonna Manor in North Attleboro.

She was the daughter of the late Raymond E. and Grace M. (Libby) Harvie.

Beverly was born in Manchester on Aug. 1, 1924. She was raised in Quincy, Mass. and graduated North Quincy High School in 1943, worked at the Quincy Shipyard during World War II, and worked as a draftsman for Pneumatic Scale in Quincy while raising her family. Beverly was a prolific seamstress, quilter, knitter, and creator of dollhouse miniatures and furnishings.

Beloved wife of the late Frederick

EFFINGHAM from page 43

also said she thinks that establishing a forestry and land management plan for all town lands should be looked into.

Road side mowing, summer and winter road contracts were awarded.

The mowing went to Eastman’s at $10,000, the three year summer roads ($180,000) and the three year winter roads contracts ( $532,500) were awarded to the current holder of the contract. In all three cases the contracts went to the highest bidder. The spread between the highest and the lowest bidders was from $500 to $1,500. All three

L. Paul. Loving mother of Gary C. Paul and his wife, Patricia, of New Hampshire; Dawn R. Young and her husband, John, of Foxborough; and Thomas E. Paul of Texas. Sister of Raymond E. Harvie of Weymouth, John F. Harvie of Maine, and the late Virginia G. Powell, Fred A. Harvie, and Earle L. Harvie. Devoted grandmother of eight and great grandmother of six. Also survived by many nieces and nephews.

There was a private graveside gathering on Monday, Feb. 14, at Blue Hill Cemetery in Braintree, Mass. To light a special candle in Beverly’s memory, please visit the funeral home website at www.robertsandsonsfuneral.com.

selectmen felt that established good working relationships and quality of work provided by the winners made the differences between the high and low bids acceptable.

A bit of humor: It does seem that our town has fallen victim to a slightly dyslectic Roman. Apparently there are a certain number of class six roads signs that have had a problem with transposition of letters. Class six roads are marked with signs reading Class VI road not town maintained; whereas what we have are signs reading Class IV, which as all good fans of roman numerals know stands for four.

Million-dollar advice for first-time buyers

Celebrity agent Chad Rogers offers his tips for first-timers

BY LAUREN PARREN CTW FEATURES

It wasn’t till recently, after more than 10 years in the business, that Chad Rogers, a real estate veteran who starred in the first three seasons of the Bravo reality hit “Million Dollar Listing” reality TV star, purchased his first home — a Beverly Hills condo. With his expert knowledge and recent personal experience, he’s loaded with advice for first-time home buyers.

Plan Ahead It’s important to plan ahead when buying a home. Look at school districts, security, the distances to the market and dry cleaner, demographics and more. “Location is everything, no matter who you are,” Rogers says.

Buyers also should consider if they plan on moving in the future. “A first-time home buyer should make sure their home is not too custom or specific,” says Rogers, as it limits interested future buyers and makes it more difficult to sell.

Don’t Get Too Attached Just because you set your heart on a particular home, it doesn’t mean the purchase is going to work out. “[Buyers] need to take the emotion out of the equation because when you get caught up emotionally, that’s when you make bad decisions,” Rogers says. Get insight from people not directly involved in the transaction to help think everything through, he says.

‘Inspect, Inspect, Inspect’ If a property sticks out for possible purchase, the home buyer should take a more intricate look at the property for potential problems that may not be visible on the surface. “I like to have a geological inspector, a mold inspector and a chimney inspector,” Roger says. “Then you start to realize exactly what you’re buying.”

Stay in Budget Don’t let the adrenaline rush of buying a home create a blind eye on budget. “Buy a home that’s priced according to what you can afford,” Rogers says. When making a down payment on a home, put down as much as possible, up to 30 percent, if possible. © CTW Features

Market update: Signs of stability Stability defined the New England market in January as home sales saw a slight increase of .4 percent from December.

While some industry analysts continue to predict a serious decline in home prices in the new year, the RE/MAX of New England Monthly Housing Report showed home prices dropped by only 2 percent from levels in December 2010.

“It’s encouraging to see transactions and prices remaining stable,” said RE/MAX of New England executive vice president Jay Hummer. “These trends should continue as we enter the Spring market.”

And Mount Washington, too!

Today’s Home of the Week, on Green Hill Road in Jackson, sits on five acres and offers a great view of Mount Washington.

JACKSON — Keep an eye on Mount Washington from this Jackson home.

Built in 1989, the contemporary-style home has been totally updated with a potential in-law living space on the lower level.

Other upgrades include a new roof, furnace and paint inside and out.

The home features an open-concept design.

There are three bedrooms, three baths, a spacious living room, new woodstove and carpet, large rebuilt deck, screened porch and an insulated garage.

There is plenty of storage space in the home, and a “welcoming” mud room for coats and skis.

The home sits on five acres with terraced gardens and woodland paths.

All this, and a “fantastic” view of Mount Washington, says listing agent Cathy Steesy, of Mountain Vista Realty.

The home, located at 188 Green Hill Road in Jackson, is priced at $469,000. An open house will be today, Saturday, from 2 to 4 p.m.

Steecy can be reached at 986-5040 or cathy@ mtvistare.com.

The home has 2,768 square feet of space.

Housing bubbles are few and far between

BY ROBERT J. SHILLER NEW YORK TIMES

What’s the outlook for home prices over the next decade? It’s not easy to tell. We need to confront the basic fact that near the beginning of the 21st century, the market for homes in much of the world suddenly became more speculative than ever.

This enormous housing bubble and burst isn’t comparable to any national or international housing cycle in history. Previous bubbles have been smaller and more regional.

We have to look further afield for parallels. The most useful may be the long trail of booms and crashes in the price of land, particularly of farms, forests and village lots. Those upheavals may give some insights into the present situation, and some guidance for the next decade.

In the 19th century and most of the 20th, speculation in land was a powerful phenomenon. There was little speculative activity around homes, however, which were usually viewed as rapidly depreciating assets whose value was to be found almost entirely in physical buildings, not the land beneath them. Eventually, the buildings were expected to be torn down and replaced, so there was little bubble psychology for housing on any large scale. People generally didn’t think about housing as an investment.

But they knew that land was fixed in quantity and would last forever, and many believed that as the economy grew and more people were born, there would be ever-increasing demand. The speculative imagination could be easily fired by reflecting on the huge population that would consume the food from this land or settle on it in future years.

There have been many highly localized land price bubbles in the United States over the last couple of centuries, although bubbles over large areas have been rather rare.

Those with the biggest national impact were in the 19th century, when speculators found opportunities that had been created by government land sales and by shifts in land prices set off by construction of

(That is typically how bubbles form, by titillating the public imagination.)

Two such land bubbles stand out.

The first, in the 1830s, was associated with federal distributions to state banks and the loss of fiscal restraint that had been imposed by the short-lived Second Bank of the United States. People began to think farm prices could never fall. As an article in a publication called The Cultivator said in 1836: “Who ever heard of a man buying and selling a farm at the same or a lessened price? It is so well understood that the seller is to have more than he gave, that it has almost become a settled principle in the purchase of real estate.”

The bubble burst with the Panic of 1837, and was followed by the first great depression in United States history, from 1837 to 1843.

A second bubble, in the 1850s, was encouraged by an 1852 act of Congress making land warrants tradable. It burst with the Panic of 1857.

Some historians — notably James L. Huston of Oklahoma State University — say they think that the resulting tensions escalated sectional animosities and helped precipitate the Civil War, which ended the depression.

The entire 20th century appears to have had only one farmland bubble of national significance — it occurred in the 1970s. Its causes were complex, but it seems to have been accompanied by a newly common belief that the human population would soon become excessee BUBBLES page 48

sive. A widely cited Club of Rome report in 1972 predicted famines induced by overpopulation.

In any case, that bubble burst after the Federal Reserve clamped down on credit in the United States, effectively producing the recessions of the early 1980s.

So land manias have been rather infrequent, many decades apart. They suggest that the recent housing bubble is a similarly rare event, not to be repeated for many decades.

But, of course, the relevance of this long history isn’t entirely clear. In contrast to the 19th century, when the business cycle proceeded without much constraint, we now have the Fed and an active government housing stabilization policy, both of which mitigate the cycle’s more extreme effects. And now, the Dodd-Frank law has created a Financial Stability Oversight Council, which is supposed to go even further to prevent instability.

Ultimately, bubbles are impossible without extreme public enthusiasm. Opinions about housing seem to change in rather trendy ways, but investor enthusiasm for housing has now been down for more than five years — a decline that started well before the collapse of the housing bubble in 2007.

With Karl Case of Wellesley College, who developed the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices with me, I have been surveying opinions of home buyers in the United States on and off since 1988.

We have found a fairly steady downtrend since the early-to-mid-2000s in a number of speculative attitudes. On questionnaires, people are less likely to report that they think of housing as an investment, or to express the view that real estate is the “best investment.”

As an investment, in fact, they are more likely to see housing as risky. Although they still have solid expectations of home price increases over the next 10 years — a median of 5 percent annually, in nominal terms — those expectations have been declining and are not nearly as extravagant as they were before the market peak.

It will take a while for the housing market to recover fully. Still, many people continue to think of housing as an investment, and so it does seem that we are in danger of encountering another whopper bubble someday. Even so, both the history of land bubbles and the slowness of shifts in public opinion suggest that such bubbles will be fairly rare.

Add the new policy restraints, and a new national housing bubble looks even less likely anytime soon.

SEATTLE — Few believed the housing market here would ever collapse. Now they wonder if it will ever stop slumping.

The rolling real estate crash that ravaged Florida and the Southwest is delivering a new wave of distress to communities once thought to be immune — economically diversified cities where the boom was relatively restrained.

In the last year, home prices in Seattle had a bigger decline than in Las Vegas. Minneapolis dropped more than Miami, and Atlanta fared worse than Phoenix.

The bubble markets, where builders, buyers and banks ran wild, began falling first, economists say, so they are close to the end of the cycle and in some cases on their way back up. Nearly everyone else still has another season of pain.

“When I go out and talk to people around town, they say, ‘Wow, I thought we were going to have a 12 percent correction and call it a day,’ ” said Stan

Humphries, chief economist for the housing site Zillow, which is based in Seattle. “But this thing just keeps on going.”

Seattle is down about 31 percent from its mid-2007 peak and, according to Zillow’s calculations, still has as much as 10 percent to fall. Mr. Humphries estimates the rest of the country will drop a further 5 and 7 percent as last year’s tax credits for home buyers continue to wear off.

“We went into 2010 feeling gangbusters, thanks to Uncle Sam,” Mr. Humphries said. “We ended it feeling penniless, with home values tanking.”

The fact that even a fairly prosperous area like Seattle was ensnared in the downturn shows just how much of a national phenomenon the crash has been. The slump began when the low-quality loans that drove the latter stage of the boom began to go bad, but the resulting recession greatly enlarged the crisis. Many people could not get a mortgage, and others simply gave up the hunt.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, February 19, 2011— Page 51

from preceding page

Now, though the overall economy seems to be mending, housing remains stubbornly weak. That presents a vexing problem for the Obama administration, which has introduced several initiatives intended to help homeowners, with mixed success.

CoreLogic, a data firm, said last week that American home prices fell 5.5 percent in 2010, back to the recession low of March 2009. New home sales are scraping along the bottom. Mortgage applications are near a 15-year low, boding ill for the rest of the winter.

It has been a long, painful slide. At the peak, a downturn in real estate in Seattle was nearly unthinkable. In September 2006, after prices started falling in many parts of the country but were still increasing here, The Seattle Times noted that the last time prices in the city dropped on a quarterly basis was during the severe recession of 1982.

Two local economists were quoted all but guaranteeing that Seattle was immune “if history is any indication.” A risk index from PMI Mortgage Insurance gave the odds of Seattle prices dropping at a negligible 11 percent.

These days, the mood here is chastened when not downright fatalistic. If a recovery depends on a belief in better times, that seems a long way off.

Those who must sell close their eyes and hope for the best. Those who hope to buy see lower prices but often have lighter wallets, removing any sense of urgency.

Arne Klubberud and Melissa Lee-Klubberud paid $358,000 for a new, 960-square-foot townhouse on trendy Capitol Hill a few weeks after that Seattle Times article was published. Now, with one child and with hopes for more, they need more space. They just put the townhouse on the market for $300,000.

“Obviously, this is not the ideal situation,” said Ms. Lee-Klubberud, a 32-year-old lawyer. They are hoping to take advantage of the sour market to buy at a good price, but first, they must sell for an amount that is acceptable. “Everyone has their limits,” she said. “We have ours.”

On a dark, dank Sunday, a handful of people came to look at the three-level unit. One of them was Katherine Davis, who had just sold her house in the far eastern suburbs. It took 14 months, during which she had to drop the price several times. The equity she had accumulated over the decades disappeared quickly.

“At first, I thought it would be nice to come out of this with $200,000, but I adjusted my expectations,” Ms. Davis said. She ended up with less than half of that. Her goal is to buy a small place in the city, but not yet. “Selfishly, I’m hoping the market continues to drop,” she said.

Increasing numbers of sellers are simply surrendering.

Megan and Ryan Dortch tried to sell their onebedroom Eastlake condo for $325,000 two years ago.

They rejected an offer of $295,000 as inadequate.

A year later, they relisted it for $289,000, then $279,000, which was less than they paid. Without a sale at that price, they could not afford to buy a place big enough for them and their new baby.

They have given up on real estate. They are renting out their old apartment at a small loss every month, and living in a rented house. “I don’t expect the market to get better,” said Ms. Dortch, 31, a customer service consultant.

Neither does Gene Burrus, another frustrated seller who became a landlord. “Rent is so cheap it doesn’t make sense to buy now,” he said. He might see CITIES page 53

When work works against you

BY MARILYN KENNEDY MELIA CTW FEATURES

It’s not all credit scores and income. Today, lenders are looking at what you do for a living before making a loan Solid credit, a down payment, and a salary sizable enough to cover debt duty. Could a lender ask for anything more?

Actually, yes. As mortgage lenders have been making a 360-degree turn away from the loose policies of the housing boom — when borrowers could get a loan without even disclosing what they earn — they not only now demand an adequate salary but a secure one, too.

“I’ve been in the business for 30 years,” observes Ron Smith, president of the Texas Association of Mortgage Professionals. “The guidelines [on how lenders judge an applicant’s employment] have never been more conservative.”

As a result, many mortgage applicants, whether they’re asking for a relatively small home equity loan, a refinance, or a purchase mortgage, are being turned down because of their work status, notes Guy Cecala, publisher of Inside Mortgage Finance Publications. It’s not that certain occupations are frowned on, Cecala explains. No matter what your line of work, “Lenders are looking for consistency,’ he says.

Your credit score is entirely separate from your income and employment status because the score is compiled only from payment information supplied by your creditors, relates Craig Watts, spokesman for FICO, a widely used scoring system.

However, just as credit scores are generated by computer analysis, automated programs analyze income and employment, looking for that all-important criterion: consistency.

“Really, it’s nearly impossible to do a loan,” says Smith, “if it doesn’t get [automated] approval because most lenders won’t make loans that won’t be approved by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and they use these systems.”

Computers won’t make exceptions based upon a mortgage applicant’s

personal explanation or reasons for work and income disruptions. It’s up to borrowers to use tactics like waiting for the right time to apply, concur experts. Here, a look at how borrowers may make their work “work” better for them: • Newly Hired The economy’s two big problems — unemployment and a sluggish housing market - have bumped into each other, with anyone who’s been recently pink-slipped impacted if they apply for a mortgage.

That’s because lenders want to see two years of tax returns, explains Cecala. If you were unemployed in 2008, for example, and apply for a mortgage this February, your tax returns from 2008 and 2009 may not allow you to qualify, since reported income for the year with unemployment is too low for the size loan you’re requesting, Cecala illustrates, noting many people who are waiting until April after they submit their 2010 return to apply for a loan.

Lenders also will require anyone who’s been out of work for six months or longer to be back on a job for six months at least, adds Bill Schwietz, president, Minnesota Association of Mortgage Brokers.

Patience is also the key to approval for those in new professions.

“Say you were an engineer and are now in sale,” says Smith. “You’ll have to wait a couple of years to show your income is dependable in your new career. But if you switched to a new engineering job, that doesn’t make any difference.”

• Self-Employed “A person is self-employed if he is a sole proprietor or owns more than 25 percent of a firm,” says Schwietz.

The self-employed are eligible for many tax deductions, like for the use of a home office, but many don’t take them to qualify for a loan, relates Gene Fairbrother of the National Association of the Self-Employed.

Not only is the personal income statement important for the selfemployed, but lenders may also scrutinize the profit and loss of the business itself, adds David Reed, author of “Mortgage Confidential” (Amacom Books, 2010). © CTW Features

Many Americans see economy improving — but not for them

BY FLOYD NORRIS NEW YORK TIMES

Americans are becoming more optimistic about the prospects for the economy, but are still concerned about their own financial situation.

For the first time in six years, at least half of Americans questioned for the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index said they believed that business conditions had improved over the previous year, according to the preliminary results from the February survey.

Similarly, the report found that more Americans thought the unemployment

reconsider if 10 or 15 percent more comes out of the market.

Redfin, a real estate brokerage firm based in Seattle, says foot traffic began picking up in the last several weeks. Mortgage rates are rising, which could nudge those who need to buy to make a deal now for fear rates will rise even more.

But whenever the market finally does pick up, all those accidental landlords will want to unload, putting another burden on the market. “So many sellers are waiting in the shadows,” said Redfin’s chief executive, Glenn Kelman.

“The inventory is going to expand and expand and expand. I don’t see any basis for significant price increases.”

While almost every economist is expecting another round of price declines for the next few months, many see a leveling off in the second half of

rate would fall than expected it to rise, with 29 percent forecasting a decline and 21 percent expecting an increase.

Given how high the jobless rate was — 9.0 percent in January, the last number released before the survey — that may be something less than a ringing vote of confidence in the economic recovery.

But a plurality of Americans had not indicated a decline was expected since July 2004, when the rate was 5.5 percent. In October 2009, when the rate peaked at 10.1 percent, 36 percent of respondents expected the rate to continue rising, while just 16 percent expected a decline. Others either expected no change or had no opinion. the year. Fiserv, the company that produces the monthly Case-Shiller Home Price Indexes, analyzed prices in 375 communities. About three-quarters of them will be stable by December, Fiserv calculates.

“We’re at a period near the bottom but with more volatility than we normally see at this point,” said David Stiff, Fiserv’s chief economist. “This sort of double dip is unprecedented for housing.”

Maybe that is why belief in a bottom is as elusive now as fears of a top were in 2006.

“We would love to have a house,” said Dan Cunningham, a 41-year-old renter.

“I have more than enough for a down payment. I’m preapproved for a loan.

But I have to have confidence it’s not going to lose another 20 percent.” He plans to wait until he sees prices rising before making any offers.

At a recent meeting, Howard Stanten of the Met, Michael Kline of Framed Art Superstore and Janice Crawford of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce all spoke of upcoming events that are planned to highlight the village, with the first being a Cinco de Marzo Chili Fest March 5.

North of North Conway Village, the former Wild Boar and later Valley Tavern was recently purchased at foreclosure auction for approximately $400,000 (including back taxes) by a father-and-son duo who plan to re-open

the restaurant in time for Memorial Day weekend.

On the downside, Movie Gallery video closed its doors on Kearsarge Street, and Zimmermann’s Sports pulled out of the Eastern Slope Inn in late summer (Realtor Joe Berry says prospective tenants are looking at the site). Crepes OoLa-La closed its North Conway Village shop and went back to its Wolfeboro location.

On the strip, Northern Appliances closed in late fall. It sold many of the same appliances found at such big box stores as Home Depot and Lowe’s. see next page

Fram opened a fifth franchise in Conway at the western end of West Main Street in 2010.

In other transactions, the Ski and Snowboard Liquidation Center in summer acquired the former Jack Frost Shop, a store that along with Carroll Reed Ski Shops was one of the first ski shops in the region.

That shop had moved from Jackson Village to near the Red Parka in Glen in 2009.

Continuing northward in the commercial look at the valley, the Tolley Group — owners of the Green Granite, Holiday Inn Express in North Conway and the Christmas Farm Inn and Spa in Jackson Village entered into a joint venture with Sandra and Gary Plourde, formerly of South Africa and Maine on the Christmas Farm Inn property.

The Plourdes have an option to buy the property, according to Earle Wason of Wason Hospitality Associates of Freedom and Portsmouth, which handled the listing.

The Tolleys in summer 2009 took over the venerable inn

The White Mountain Artisans Gallery closed its doors in 2010.

Among the village properties that remain vacant is the former Seavey Street site of Bellini’s.

The Marcello family — owners of the building — continues to draw in Italian food lovers at their newly-renamed Vito Marcello’s Italian Bistro at the location it moved to several years ago at Willow Common on the Route 16 strip.

Relocation of other businesses continued in 2010.

The Vinter’s Cellar Winery moved from Willow Place to the village, while the Assets Jean Company moved from Reporter Court to the complex of shops on south Main Street that used to be home to Four Your Paws Only before the latter moved two years ago to its new, larger location on Route 16.

Frankie G’s relocated from the former Timberland complex to the site of Tony Lena’s.

Wason also said this week he expects to soon be able to announce the sale of the Eagle Mountain House in Jackson in the next week or two.

The Eagle Mountain House and its 9-hole golf course are listed for $3.25 million.

“We have had interest from a number of very qualified buyers and expect an offer soon that will be acceptable,” said Wason Feb. 18.

Also in Jackson, As You Like It returned to the Jackson Falls Marketplace, adding to its existing Gorham location.

A big factor affecting the future of the commercial landscape is whether the long-delayed and unfunded Route 16 bypass will ever get built in phases, in totality, or not at all.

The bypass is comprised of three phases, and only one of them, the southern leg, is even in the state’s 10-year-constrution plan.

The state is planning this fall to study how traffic will be affected by building just that one leg. The report is expected to be released this fall.

Proposed fee for overnight hikers hitting dead end

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONCORD — A bill proposing to add a fee to Appalachian Mountain Club and Randolph Mountain Club accommodations to fund backcountry rescues will likely die as written, but it has brought the issue of paying for rescues center stage.

Senate Bill 128, proposed by state Sen. Lou D’Allesandro, D- Manchester, would have added a $3 fee to the nightly charge at any AMC or RMC lodge, hut, camp or cabin. The money would go into the state Fish and Game search and rescue fund.

Fish and Game estimates the fee would raise more than $270,000 a year.

“The fee is problematic,” said state Sen. Jeb Bradley, R-Wolfeboro, an avid hiker and a member of the senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee that reviewed the bill last week. “It’s just levied at the people staying at the AMC huts.”

There are lots of hikers in the White Mountains, Bradley said, and charging only those who sleep at AMC and RMC facilities is unfair. “I don’t think the bill is going to go too far,” he said.

The AMC also raised concerns about the bill.

“The bill is unconstitutional,” Susan Arnold, the AMC’s vice president of conservation, told the committee.

The law doesn’t specify a type of property or activity to tax, but instead singles out “rents from the AMC and the RMC, which is a classification of specific property owners,” she said. “This is patently discriminatory, and therefore unconstitutional.”

“It’s a problem that see FEES page 7
