No snow for San Fran

3DAYFORECAST

SAN FRANCISCO (NY Times) — It is not snowing in San Francisco. To repeat: not snowing.

Amid the type of wideeyed anticipation usually reserved for the arrival of a pope, a president or a particularly good pinot, residents of San Francisco were giddy and girding for the possibility of a dusting of snow on Friday, as a powerful Pacific storm coincided with a blast of cold Canadian air.

The resulting mix had left city dwellers looking skyward for the first significant snowfall here since February 1976, when an inch fell, according to the National Weather Service.

“I can’t wait. It’ll be crazy,” said Marisa Belaski-Farias, 23, a graphic design student who grew up in Hawaii and has never seen snow in person. “I have a cardboard box at home. Hopefully there will be enough snow to sled.”

That outing might have to wait. By early Friday morning, the storm had delivered only soaking rain and howling gales, as the Canadian cold front lingered to the north of the city. But minute-by-minute reports on television promised that snow was coming by late afternoon, with live team coverage and ominous outlooks.

The very possibility that San Francisco could see snowfall has led to a flurry of activity by online wiseacres. The Web site Isitsnowinginsfyet.com was set up to answer whether it was snowing in the city, and mock terror bounced around the Twittersphere.

U.S. plans sanctions on Libya

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

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The United States moved to increase diplomatic pressure on the embattled Libyan government of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi on Friday, suspending relations and preparing to impose unilateral sanctions because of the deadly violence the Libyan government has directed at protesters in the country.

Jay Carney, the White House press

secretary, told reporters that the sanctions would be announced soon, but gave no specifics. Mr. Carney said the American embassy in Tripoli “has been shuttered” and that diplomatic and military-to-military relations were suspended. Much of the remaining embassy staff was evacuated along with other Americans on a ferry that left Tripoli for Malta on Friday after days of delay

Hundreds of thousands protest across Mideast

CAIRO (NY Times) — Hundreds of thousands of protesters turned out in cities across the Middle East on Friday to protest the unaccountability of their leaders and express solidarity with the uprising in Libya that Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi is trying to suppress with force.

The worst violence of the day appeared to be in Libya, where security forces shot at protesters as they left Friday prayers to try to launch the first major anti-government demonstration in the capital. Dem-

onstrations in recent days have been in other cities, and several of those have fallen to armed rebels determined to oust Colonel Qaddafi.

Protests in Iraq also took a violent turn, with security forces firing on crowds in Baghdad, Mosul, Ramadi and in Salahuddin Province, killing at least ten people. Unlike in other Middle Eastern countries, the protesters in Iraq are not seeking to topple their leaders, but are demanding better government services after years of war and deprivation.

caused by bad weather.

American allies and the United Nations also moved to isolate Libya diplomatically on Friday. A senior U.N. official said the world should intervene to stop the killings and bloodshed in Libya, and France and Britain called on the international organization to approve an arms embargo and sanctions. NATO said it was ready to help to evacuate refugees.

Rising oil prices pose new threat to U.S. economy (NY Times) — The American economy just can’t catch a break.

Last year, as things started looking up, the European debt crisis flustered the fragile recovery. Now, under similar economic circumstances, comes the turmoil in the Middle East.

Energy prices have surged in recent days, as a result of the political violence in Libya that has disrupted oil production there.

Prices are climbing because of fears the unrest may continue to spread to other oil-producing countries. If the recent rise in oil prices sticks, it will likely slow a growth rate that is already too sluggish to produce many jobs in this country. Some economists are predicting that oil prices, just above $97 a barrel on Thursday, could be sustained well above $100 a barrel, a benchmark.

Even if energy costs don’t rise higher, lingering uncertainty over the stability of the Middle East could drag down growth, not just in the United States but around the world.

Gorham Paper Mill to reopen

GORHAM — U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) applauded the plans of Gorham Paper LLC to buy and reopen the Gorham Paper Mill.

Shaheen sees this is a positive step toward getting North Country residents back to work. The announcement came while Shaheen was meeting with business and community leaders in the North Country to talk about job creation.

“The Gorham Paper Mill is a critical source of good jobs in a region that has been hard hit,” Shaheen said. “Congratulations to Gorham Paper LLC and the mill workers for this important positive step forward. I look forward to the day when the mill reopens and people can get back to work.”

Shaheen has worked with prospective mill owners, Berlin and Gorham officials, and mill employees, to help secure a deal and to make sure that New Hampshire residents are able to get back to work.

The Gorham Paper Mill employed about 240 workers and was the North Country’s largest industrial employer. It was the region’s last paper mill following the closure of three others within the past decade.

Last September, as part of her efforts to make the mill more economically competitive, Shaheen helped secure federal funding to build a gas pipeline from

the Mount Carberry landfill to the mill. The pipeline will supply the mill with a clean, affordable fuel supply that will significantly reduce operating costs and increase productivity. Shaheen had sent a letter in support of the project to the U.S. Department of Commerce months earlier, when funding for the project appeared stalled.

Last December, Shaheen worked to make sure that laid-off employees of the Gorham Paper Mill were eligible for the U.S. Department of Labor’s Trade Adjustment Assistance, which provides job training and health care assistance. The approval followed a letter sent by Shaheen to Labor Secretary Hilda Solis in October urging the Department to assist the workers.

The mill has stood abandoned since Oct. 13, after owner Fraser Papers filed for bankruptcy on June 18, 2009.

STRATHAM – An Exeter woman was killed Friday morning when the car she was driving struck a school bus head-on, police said.

Janelle Hamilton, 25, died at the scene of the crash on Winnicut Road that occurred around 7 a.m., Stratham Police Chief John Scippa said.

Janelle was heading in the direction of North Hampton when she lost control of her car on the slippery road and collided with the school bus, which was traveling in the opposite direction, Scippa said.

Neither the driver of the bus, owned by First Student, nor the driver’s young daughter was hurt.

First Student spokesman Bonnie Bastian said the bus was was on its way to Greenland to pick up students for SAU 50.

Snow and sleet created treacherous driving conditions and are likely what caused Hamilton to lose control, Scippa said.

“The road conditions are just horrendous,” he said.

Winnicut Road, from Union Road to the North Hampton town line, was shut down for a period following the accident

A tie or loss and the Eagles will clinch fourth.

Following Thursday’s game, the Eagles hosted their annual “Skate with the Eagles,” a show of appreciation by the team to all MWV Youth Hockey Players, season ticket holders and pair gnarl admission patrons. It was an opportunity to skate with the

team and even collect autographs as well as take photos with the players.

“Our kids really got into it,” Michael Lane, Eagles‘ head coach, said. “We had programs and Sharpies and the youngsters were great. Kelley Murphy orchestrated it — it’s all her idea — and we want to thank her for all she does for Kennett hockey.”

Prior to today’s game Kennett will honor its seniors Logan Spoor, Chuckie Smith, Nick Kevlin and Jonny Parkhurst for their service to the program.

The playoffs begin on Saturday, March 5.

Tele-Talk Should police and other departments be allowed to spend money that is left over at the end of the year?

Finding itself with leftover money at the end of 2008 and 2009, Conway Police Department chose to purchase equipment with the money rather than return it to town coffers. Police officials defended the purchases this week and pointed out that they didn’t overspend their budget. “The police department runs in a fashion that we are given a certain amount of money and we stay within those guidelines,” chief Ed Wagner said. Lt. Chris Perley said, “It’s my position that if we don’t spend it on something wasteful then the money is there. We don’t buy things we don’t need.”

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

The Mystic Chords of Moral Leadership Seven states had left the Union. Fort Sumter needed to be resupplied. Washington was in upheaval, sharpshooters were deployed to the roofs of buildings, a light-artillery battalion was installed on Capitol Hill. It was in this atmosphere, 150 years ago this week, that Abraham Lincoln took the oath of office.

In more than two centuries of turning points — George Washington's victory at Yorktown, Woodrow Wilson's decision to enter a great European war, Franklin Roosevelt's unveiling of the New Deal, the attacks of 1941 and 2001 — this may have been America's greatest, most dangerous, most portentous. At stake on March 4, 1861, was more than the survival of the nation. At stake were the values that created the nation.

In the hands of history was a man with little formal education, no conventional religion, no executive experience, only two years' time in the House of Representatives, a distracting and difficult family situation — but with a deep understanding of the land, a natural mastery of language, an intuitive insight into human nature and an unfailing comprehension of the consequences of his thoughts and deeds.

He knew the country and he knew his mind.

He loved the Union, deplored slavery, and before his first term was over would determine that the survival of the one required the obliteration of the other. A man who had not done much with his first 52 years would accomplish two great things in his last four years. He would save the United States and, by ending slavery, he would make it worth saving.

This was a moment like no other in our history. Handing the presidency over to Lincoln was Pennsylvania's only chief executive, poor James Buchanan, one of America's great secretaries of state and perhaps its worst president, a man who had done little to forestall war and less to understand the great forces of his time. "He frequently examines the Constitution, and the more he looks at it the less he finds in it," the Times of London wrote, adding: "The war which he could not make he now finds that he has no power to prevent."

Joining the new president in his administration was William H. Seward, who, as a showy public figure and relentless attention-seeker, was Lincoln's opposite in character but, fortunately for the nation, was Lincoln's equal in intelligence. And while it is tempting — indeed, it would be Seward's fondest wish — to say that together they created one of the most significant inaugural addresses in history, the remarks that Lincoln uttered against the greatest metaphorical backdrop in America's pageant (the scaffolding on the Capitol, symbolic of the unfinished nature of the country) were pure Lincoln.

Lincoln had left Springfield, Ill., three weeks earlier with a draft of his speech, the product, wrote Douglas L. Wilson, an expert on Lincoln, of "considerable drafting and revision." The story of how Seward worked over Lincoln's draft and provided what Seward's son called "suggestions for a closing paragraph" is well known, but what is remarkable is how the president-elect salvaged words Seward abandoned and reshaped them into a statement all his own — one that now is all our own. The final paragraph of the final version reads this way:

David Shribman

"I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

The paragraph that preceded that coda for the ages is instructive. Lincoln opened it by underlining what he would disprove -- the very American notion that the will of the people is more important than the will of a national leader. "In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine," he said, "is the momentous issue of civil war."

There was, of course, a kernel of truth in that, as Hosni Mubarak could testify. But, perhaps even more so than Franklin Roosevelt, Lincoln would reshape the presidency into what FDR called it -pre-eminently a place of moral leadership.

A century later, when he announced his candidacy for the White House, John F. Kennedy argued that "only the president represents the national interest," adding a thought that would have been inconceivable had Stephen A. Douglas, and not his fellow Illinoisan, won the election of 1860: "And upon him alone converge all the needs and aspirations of all parts of the country, all departments of the government, all nations of the world."

To his countrymen, Lincoln's address represented an end to his great post-election silence. Only days before his inauguration, Frederick Douglass wrote, hopefully, of Lincoln's "stately silence during these last tumultuous and stormy three months, his stern refusal thus far to commit himself to any of the muchadvocated schemes of compromise, his refusal to have concessions extorted from him under the terror instituted by thievish conspirators and traitors."

We know what Lincoln's remarks mean to us now. They were the first indication that the new president, characterized as a baboon, castigated as a backwoods babbler more suited to the splitting of rails than the adjudication of hard political problems, was more than presidential. He was — to choose a word at odds with our traditions and applicable to only one other president, George Washington — regal.

"Beyond the immediate hearers was the vast unseen audience that would read the address in cold print," wrote Carl Sandburg in his lyrical if not exactly historical biography of Lincoln. "Never before in New York had such crowds waited at newspaper offices and jammed and scrambled for the first sheets wet from the press. In its week of delivery, it was the most widely read and closely scrutinized utterance that had ever come from an American president."

American presidents have delivered 56 inaugural addresses and only five are quoted today. One is from Jefferson, one from Franklin Roosevelt, one from John F. Kennedy. Two are from Lincoln. His remarks a century and a half ago are mystic chords of memory, delivered at the most frightful juncture in our history.

Distrust will help continue democracy To the editor: “The health of a free public depends on distrust.”

— W. Berry We will witness this again first-hand at our town meetings where the vigilance and correction of distrust will help us continue the breathtaking act we call democracy.

I am thankful to those folks in Tamworth whose distrust of our efforts to balance planning, conservation and growth has led to a call to abolish the planning board and conservation commission. Without their criticism, I may not have been motivated to get informed about the critically important work of these groups. After a hearing where the planning board and conservation commission answered questions and took comment, I felt more confident than ever that the work these groups do is vital to the health of our land and people, and I am grateful for the dedication, commitment and skill those serv-

ing bring to the task.

Lately, signs are up around town that read: “Plan, Conserve, Grow.”

The sign gives a good visual representation of what is at the crux of our unrest and imbalance. Currently, the fulcrum point falls between the words conserve and grow, tipping the balance to planning and conservation. The lack of heft on the growth side should not be attributed to the good work and zeal of those planning and conserving. We need a commensurate effort on behalf of growth, more people to help those already working hard on this very challenging aspect of our future.

In the process, we will have shouldered the power and responsibility of town government with more volunteer citizens, not less.

And, we will have matured from the distrust that sees the need for correction, to the trust in community that inspires service.

The 1982 World Championships

Ski racing is different in Austria. Italians can be nearly incapacitated by sporting fever, but a nation that has changed governments 47 times since World War II has trouble paying attention long enough for lasting dementia. The German team hasn’t had a serious slump since the dawn of the modern era, but their mountains are at the bottom edge of the country and at the periphery of the national spotlight. The French have seen their racers sweep all before them, but when they don’t — well, there’s always the new Beaujolais to think about. The same sense of geometer’s rigor that put the Swiss team into orbit leads their supporters to organize into fan clubs that arrive in uniform and distribute promotional literature for their favorites, habits that restrain the tendency to riot.

Not so in Austria. Here, ski racing is destiny and the moral balances of the universe hinge on the downhill title. Given these stakes, a home-field World Championships is a theater worthy of the gods. And, children of both Teutonic order and Mediterranean ardor, there’s a predisposition to official hype-out.

The most recent occasion was provided at Schladming in 1982. Upon arriving, each athlete competitor and staffer was given a credential with row on row of small spaces for stick-on dots of different colors, each authorizing entry into a different detail of the labyrinthine organization in the valley and on the race mountain.

Bill Marolt was alpine director of the American team and when he arrived he had to make a telephone call. Perhaps not fully aware of the stakes, he applied at the press center and was given a press center dot that let him in to the telephones. We soon learned that there was only one press center dot for each national team. My job with the Americans required that I be in the press center many times each day, but I was told that the American dot had already been given out and there were no more of them. I pursued the argument for two days, more heat and higher volume coming with each level of pursuit, but the Austrian position hardened. Finally I hit the outer office at lunchtime and only the most junior secretary was there. She went over to her boss’ desk and lifted the blotter to reveal sheets and sheets of waxed paper covered with access dots of every color in town and asked me how many I wanted.

Even this bonanza, however, proved insufficient. One very cold morning I’d taken my regular station in the finish area, but nothing would be happening for an hour yet and I drifted out of the shadows to seek some BTUs in a patch of sunlight. A course official came over and asked what I was doing there.

I said, “Nothing. Then he studied my credential and told me to move on – apparently I didn’t have the access dot that authorized momentary idleness. Sterner tests were yet to come.

Downhill fortunes of the Austrian men were gilt-edged: They’d won medals in eight of the last ten World Championships and four of the eight Olympics during that span.

Nor were the women far behind, they’d won

nine season titles in the same years. But they didn’t win at Schladming, and when Gerry Sorensen, Cindy Nelson, and Laurie Graham swept the women’s downhill for North America, the organizers at the nighttime awards ceremonies turned out the stadium lights as soon as they had their medals, leaving the crowd to grope its way out in the dark.

There were ten races counting the combined in Schladming, but with just two races left the only token for the home team was a bronze in the men’s combined, a medal most of the men had loudly proclaimed wasn’t worth trying for. The last two races were the men’s downhill and the men’s slalom, and those Austrians still in even moderate command of their reason knew that they had no chance in slalom. So it was downhill or nothing, a situation that suited both the temperament and the history of the Austrians. Everyone knew that something had to be done to stanch the ruinous drain out of the nation’s trophy cases, and it was up to the men’s downhill entry to do it — governments have fallen for less.

The American team lodgings were high on the mountainside above Schladming, and the road down below provided a view of the valley for most of its serpentine route. The Obersalzburg is deep in civilization and long habits of usage had laid out the towns and streets centuries before even the dreams of sorcerers had seen such visions as traffic patterns and crowd control. The finish area for the men’s races was right in downtown Schladming, so the organizers decreed that all cars and buses must park in the outskirts outside and the fans should walk through town to reach the races.

The drive from our hotel on downhill day provided a view into the deep valley that was more like zoology than winter sports. Off to the left there appeared to be a nest of works, a frozen writhing of slender bodies that was the corpus of hundreds of buses parked as close as their painted skin would allow. From there to the race course it was ants, a roiling stream clogging the streets and spilling over into lawns and parks as 60,000 people pushed toward the competition.

Authorized team vehicles were exempt from the ban on wheels, and as I neared the place where our highland road joined the village streets the ants became parkas and banners and cowbells. Then, as I nosed the car into this mass, I realized that I might as well turn off the engine and let the crowd carry the car along like some tree trunk fallen from the heights into a river at flood.

The noise was amazing. Cowbells the size of baskets clanked all around me, the traditional urging-on of Swiss fans. The tumult of horns and drums and waves of cheering moved through the crowd like spasms of fever, many in the multitude had clearly broken out the schnapps hours ago, and a canopy of noise hung in the air just overhead as all the passions in Austria reached critical mass at the same time. see HOWE page 42

Fillin’ Phil’s shoes at the Eaton Village Store

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

EATON — “Breakfast With Phil” may be the most popular show on local Valley Vision Channel 3, but come March 1, it’s going to have to have a new sequel, perhaps something like, “Breakfast With Will (-ie).”

The behind-the-counter countdown is on at the Eaton Village Store for when proprietor Phil Kelly’s five-year contract ends with the Eaton Village Preservation Society, the non-profit, member-supported group that owns and leases the quaint breakfast and lunch eatery, store and post office that serves as the unofficial town hall, conversation hot spot and heart of the small village on Route 153, near the shores of picturesque Crystal Lake.

Slated to take over March 1 are longtime local breakfast cook Willie Hatch and Kristin Burnell of Conway, who have signed a new five-year lease.

They will be assisted by Burnell’s son, Chester Eastwood, and daughter, Karli Burnell.

“This is something we have looked forward to doing for a long time, running our own restaurant,” said Burnell this week, as she and Hatch, her fiance, have been at the store daily, getting to know the customers as well

as the ins and outs of running the popular eatery.

“Being a local, I know many of the people. We’re really looking forward to this as this has been our dream,” said Hatch, a former cook at Bea’s Cafe and Fandangle’s who has lived in Mount nt Washington Valley since age 13. Burnell, meanwhile, hails from nearby Fryeburg, Maine.

“We don’t plan to change the menu much, but we will be adding some e comfort foods.”

A calendar on the he wall behind the coununter has been counting nting down the days over er the past month for when hen the jovial, bearded Kelly’s elly’s contract ends.

With the end of the Kelly era approaching, customers omers have been coming in to get their share of coffee, Eaton burgers and abuse from Kelly, a Jackson native, and his high school chum, fellow burger flipper and raconteur Peter “Pigge” Case.

“You come in here because you know everybody. And Phil is so funny,”

said regular Bill Farrell of Freedom Wednesday.

A few minutes later, in walked two of Kelly and Case’s Kennett chums from days of old, Norman Head and Bob “Elvis” Holmes, both of Bartlett.

That That’ss w when the stories — m most of them offth the-record (the k kind Kelly and Case tell best) — started anew, especially when Head related that Kelly’s dad w was police chief in J Jackson when they we were growing up. ““[Maurice] Beanie Kell Kelly never arrested anyon anyone his whole time as chie chief,” said Holmes.

Added H Head, “If you did something wrong, he would putt yo ou in th you the cruiser and you had d too d rive a drive around the town with h im m ttr ravelin at 15 miles an him, traveling hour and listening to his advice. That was punishment enough when you were a kid.”

••• After five years of putting in roughly 80 hours a week, including four hours every Christmas, and opening the

store daily at 6 a.m., Kelly has decided it is time for him to move on — but not far. He’ll be a mile down the road in a house on Route 153.

(Pranksters have mischievously put up a sign on the house’s garage door, saying, “Opening soon: Phil’s 2.”)

“I am not sure what I’ll be doing.

I do dabble in an-ti-Q’s, so we’ll see,” said Kelly, who owned the store in the 1970s, ran his own Phil’s Phase III for 10 years in the space that was once home to Faye’s Diner in North Conway Village, served as a golf pro at the Eagle Mountain House in Jackson for three years, and then took over the Eaton Village Store lease in 2006.

Hatch and Burnell were chosen by the Eaton Village Preservation Society board from those who applied to run the store.

“Filling Phil’s shoes will not be easy, because they are big shoes to fill,” said preservation society president Kevin Flynn this week in an interview at the busy store, as customers stopped by to have breakfast and lunch while saying their farewells to Kelly and Case, “but Willie and Kristin were exemplary when we interviewed them. It was almost as though something clicked when they were interviewed, and they were a late interview in the process at that.” see next page

Flynn said like Kelly, Hatch and Burnell have great senses of humor as well as a dedicated work ethic.

“They both have big hearts, and a desire to do this,” said Flynn. “This [running his own restaurant] has been a goal of his his whole life, and this is a perfect opportunity to have your own place without having to come up with the cash to buy a place.”

••• That’s because when the store was in danger of closing nearly a decade ago, residents Ginger Blymyer, Jen Kovach and others rallied townspeople and summer residents alike to raise the funds to buy it.

Previous owners from Texas who had followed Kelly and former owners Tom Lane and Colleen McCormack Lane had removed the lunch counter while keeping the store and post office going. They were contemplating turning the restaurant — which dated back to the mid-1940s — into apartments.

The Eaton Village Preservation Society raised the funds to buy the store, and leased the store out to two women who ultimately left after a year and a half into their contract.

Kelly — the experienced pro — came back.

He has held court ever since, joined by Case, an equally talented raconteur whose sharp wit is onehalf of the comedy team that passes for breakfast and lunchtime entertainment every morning and afternoon.

“I do all the work,” scoffed the now gray-bearded Case, who comes in at 11 to help cook the store’s renowned, thick, juicy burgers, home fries and other treats.

“Yeah, right!” retorted Kelly, who as of his last day March 1, will not have taken a full day off in two years and three months.

Case, a former local reporter, recently suffered a heart attack. He is glad to be feeling strong and to be back behind the counter, doing what he and high school chum Kelly do best: sharing their views on world affairs, town politics and local gossip, all the while serving up some of the tastiest and most affordable breakfast and lunch fare around.

With the end of the Kelly era imminent, Case said he is not sure what the future has in store for him.

But both are grateful for the time they have had at the store.

And, they wish the new proprietors, Hatch and Burnell, well.

Plus, Kelly adds, he will be stopping by a few times a week, offering advice and making sure the transition goes well.

One of the new operators’ duties, in addition to serving great food and sundries? Making sure that the birds at the store’s window-side feeder are well fed. It’s part of the job, after all.

But being able to identify what kind of birds stop by the feeder — as Kelly can, aided by his countertop Audubon field guide — may be pushing it, however.

••• As Kelly, Flynn and Kovach note, the store is the heart of the village.

Take it away, and there’s no “there” there in Eaton. see next page

There was a scare two years ago when a failing septic system put the store in jeopardy. Townspeople at town meeting that year defeated a proposal to buy land across the street on which a new septic system could be installed, but relatives of resident Marnie Cobbs, who live in the Washington, D.C., area for most of the year but who have long been summer residents, stepped in to buy the land and grant an easement to the Eaton Village Preservation Society for the new system.

That system was installed, and the view to Silver Lake was much improved with the removal of the aged cabins and trailer that formerly stood on the site.

Various fund-raisers over the years have allowed the store to be solvent.

“We have paid off the mortgage,” said Flynn and Kovach this week.

“The way it works, we get the revenue from the Postal service for the post office; the people who lease the store get the funds from sales,” explained Flynn, former proprietor/owner of the Snowvillage Inn. ••• Like the many other patrons inter-

viewed over a cup of coffee at the breakfast counter this week, Flynn saluted Kelly’s commitment to the store.

An icon in Mount Washington Valley, Kelly says he knew what he was getting into when he entered into the lease five years ago.

“I knew that going in; that that’s the commitment that’s needed to run a small store in a small community,” said Kelly. “Well, maybe it doesn’t take the kind of commitment I have made, but it is a lot of work. It’s not just about making money, because you could do that better by running a McDonald’s. You’ve got to love it, and you’ve got to be a real people’s person and enjoy people. Not to mention their stories — well, most of them!” laughed Kelly, a lover of tall tales and a teller of good jokes.

••• Divorced, and the father of three sons and a daughter, Kelly said with people stopping by the store to wish him well, these past few weeks have been a bit like going to his own Irish wake.

“Without the whisky,” he said.

He said he will miss everyone and everything: the Dashnaus, the Sleigh Mill Antiques store couple who dress see next page

the wooden goose outside the store in seasonal costumes; post mistress/ town columnist Nancy Williams and assistant Terry Head; the ladies from the Eaton Community Circle who take care of the store’s flowers, the volunteers from the Eaton Village Preservation Society, performers such as Tom Rush, who stop by for breakfast after performing just over the border the night before at nearby Stone Mountain Arts Center in Brownfield, Maine.

Most of all, he will miss being the unofficial mayor of Eaton, being the center of town life from his perch behind the counter.

“I will miss the people, of course,” he said, as he finished up another day

behind the counter Wednesday, as this Tuesday, his last day, fast approaches and the finality of it all sets in. “I will miss being in the center of the community — everyone knows who I am.

People ask me questions about the town and you get to know the issues.

Now I’m going to have to work at that [to stay informed].”

••• If he finds himself missing the store too much, he perhaps can watch reruns of videographer and friend Bob Bernhardt’s tapes of “Breakfast With Phil,” the Valley Vision show that has recorded for posterity the goings on at the store and the daily bantering that is as saucy as the food.

“I’d like to [watch it],” laughed Kelly, “but I’ve never seen it. We don’t get Channel 3 down here.”

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — The budget committee has granted the Conway School Board's request for a special meeting this Sunday at town hall at 6:30 p.m. School officials believe the budgeteers, who in another Sunday meeting, Feb. 13, voted to cut the 2011-12 school budget by 11 percent, may have acted illegally.

The lone item on the budget committee's agenda is "discussion of school board's letter to the budget committee dated Feb. 24."

The school board has also posted a special meeting for this Sunday at 6:30 p.m. at the town hall. The item on its agenda: discussion of the school board's 2011-12 budget.

"We think, and after talking with legal counsel, the budget committee made a number of mistakes in the way it made up the budget cut and interpreted the 10 percent rule," Carl Nelson, school superintendent, said, Friday.

• Mount & Balance

• Brakes • Exhaust • Shocks • Struts • Front End • CV Axles • Tune-ups • Tire Repair

"We even checked with the (New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration). Our calculations are much different than the budget committees. If the 11 percent goes through, it will have a much more severe impact on education in Conway."

At the four-hour meeting on Feb. 13, the budget committee rejected the school board’s proposal of a $33.1 million budget, along with several other proposals, on the way to the final 11 percent cut.

With the proposed 11 percent cut, the school could face a $3.6 million cut to the operating budget if the voters don’t amend the committee’s recommendation at the deliberative session on March 7 at 7 p.m. in the Loynd Auditorium at Kennett High).

Nelson believes the proposed cut is more in the neighborhood of $4 million.

The proposed school budget, excluding warrant articles, which totals about $733,000, is $33,085,373. The default budget, which would kick in if the regu-

lar budget fails, is $33,275,846 — $190,473 more than what is being proposed by the school board.

The default budget, Nelson has explained, starts with the previous year's gross budget.

"Then you deduct any one-time expenses (special education, insurance reductions and special warrant articles). You then add back in your contractual obligations like fuel, maintenance, the librarians and reading specialists (items required by the state)."

The budget is less than the default budget due to administrators trimming about $263,000 to make up for a bond payment that has expired.

Last April voters approved the school budget of $32,612,765.

The default budget, that spring was $32,491,415 — $121,350 less than what was proposed by the school board.

Committee members tossed out figures of all kinds on Feb. 13, from state averages and costs per pupil, arguing the school is overspending. see next page

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

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

Enrollment dropped by 8 percent over that time, from 2,070 to 1,910, while spending went up 118 percent, from $15.1 million to $32.9 million.

Staff also increased over the same time period from 186 to 343.

“Here’s the figures Carl gave me,” Drinkhall said, referring to Nelson.

“It doesn’t seem to me spending more money is getting very good results.”

The school board sent a five page letter to budget committee Thursday.

"The Conway School Board has met with counsel to discuss the recent vote by the Conway Budget Committee to reduce the proposed school budget by 11 percent. Counsel reviewed with the Board the New Hampshire Supreme Court case of Baker v. Hudson School District, 111 N.H. 54(971), in which a budget committee had taken similar action and then sought to prohibit the Hudson School Board from restoring more than ten percent of the budget committee's figure.

"The Supreme Court determined that the arbitrary cut of a percentage of the budget by the budget committee represented a failure of the committee

to do its job to review the budget in a responsible manner and was therefore illegal and void.

"For similar reasons, the Conway School Board believes that the Conway Budget Committee has failed in its duty to review the budget as presented by the school board in a rational and responsible manner so that the proposed cuts do not force the wholesale removal of programs, the closing of facilities and other precipitous actions that may jeopardize the tuition contracts with surrounding districts, and education in general.

"First, it should be observed that the school board's budget came to the committee in a pared-down state, the board being duly mindful of the continuing recession in the local economy.

Second, the 11 percent was applied to both fixed charges, such as bond and interest payments, and non-fixed charges such as building maintenance. Thus, the net effect on those non-fixed cost items is actually much higher than the eleven percent.

"At present, the budget committee's action amounts to an over $4 million reduction which must be taken from other than fixed-cost accounts.

"Finally, the board wonders if the committee was aware that should amounts be restored by the meeting and the Department of Revenue Administration were to eliminate those expenditures over a 10 percent amount, DRA would start with the last article voted upon by the voters and move backwards up through the warrant, rather than taking this amount pro rata from each article.

OSSIPEE — Residents want to know if West Ossipee Fire Department is missing a fire truck. But the chief says it's being sold down south.

According to resident Tom Fraser, at a fire commission meeting on Feb. 21, a firefighter asked about the whereabouts of a fire truck. Nobody on the commission — even long-time commissioner Paul Jay — could give the firefighter a satisfactory answer.

"Evidently it had been missing for three years," said Fraser. "The expression on commissioner Paul Jay's face was dumbfounded."

Jay could not be reached for comment. But Fraser said Jay responded that he was told to send the truck to an auction house down south.

The seeming lack of organization was alarming for newly elected commissioner Greg Howard. Howard hadn't heard concern about inventory before the meeting. It was left up to Jay to find the answer, he said.

"My gut is it's still ours and it's somewhere," said Howard adding the truck's title is supposedly in the chief's poessession. "I need to know where."

But fire chief Brad Eldridge said the truck didn't disappear. He showed a reporter a copy of the title. The truck, Engine Three,was taken out of service about two years ago. Eldridge wasn't at the meeting on Feb. 21 because he was sick.

"There's no missing fire truck. It's with a broker and it's being advertised on the Internet," said Eldridge who said residents were going to the media to stir the pot.

Engine Three is being stored in South Carolina by a company called Valley Fire and Safety. Another company called Firetec is trying to sell it for $13,500, according to the ad furnished by Eldridge. The truck is a Spartan PE-9604.

"This directly jeopardizes the special articles at the end of the warrant, including the trust funds which the district is obligated to maintain under the tuition contracts with the surrounding seven towns.

"Given that the board believes the action of the committee could have catastrophic effects on the operations of the schools of the district, and given that there remains a short period of time within which the committee could act to avert this calamity, the Conway School Board requests that the budget committee convene a special session prior to the February 28, 2011 posting dead-

Leo Templeton, of Valley Fire and Safety, confirmed Engine Three is being stored with his company. He said so far a few people have looked at purchasing it.

The fire chief said the truck has a better chance of selling down south and there had been no place to put it in Ossipee. The department has had Engine Three for about 23 years. It's had problems since the beginning. As examples, Eldridge said he had the pump replaced several times. One time, the truck's cab had an electrical short when firefighters were trying to deal with a blaze.

"It's been a problem child from day one," said Eldridge.

Fraser said taxpayers shouldn't have to ask the chief about the truck because commissioners are supposed to be in charge. This incident makes it appear that the chief is running the show without oversight, he said.

Jennifer H. Baumann, of Firetec, said her company is responsible for marketing the truck. Eldridge gave Firetec permission to list it. Firetec would make 10 percent commission on the sale.

"If we don’t provide a buyer, we don’t get paid," said Baumann.

Howard said the commissioners ought to examine their strategy for disposing of Engine Three. For example, they could reduce the price.

Having it sit around doesn't help the bottom line, he said.

Fraser said there was also some concern about missing equipment that had been stored at the Yield House.

Eldridge said the pumps were moved to the Jewell Hill Station and that there are no missing hoses.

"There appears to be an awful lot of stuff missing at the taxpayers' expense," said Fraser.

The West Ossipee Fire Commissioners are scheduled to meet next on March 7 at 7 p.m. at the central fire station, which is near the Whittier House restaurant.

line to reconsider its actions and to work with the school board to find a workable budget or, at least, to find a set of rational budget options for the voters to consider.

"While we have been advised that the act of the committee was probably illegal and void, litigation between agencies of government is a last resort and a waste of taxpayer money if other alternatives are available.

It would be much more preferable if the board and committee could find a solution to this problem without court intervention. We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible and to working with you for the good of the Conway community and the children of the Mount Washington Valley."

Freedom residents hear $1.2 safety complex proposal BYDAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

FREEDOM — A bond hearing for a $1.2 million safety complex aroused curiosity from about 3o residents last Friday night. Many of them wanted more information from selectmen, who promised to provide it before town meeting.

The proposal is to attach a 2,500 square foot police station to the fire station on Freedom Village Road.

Then the fire house would get a two bay addition that equals 2,000 square feet. Chairman Les Babb said the proposal is meant to address the town's top two liability concerns. The current police station, in the town office on Old Portland Road, doesn't meet requirements for interview space, record storage and evidence storage.

"There are child molesters living among us because a case was thrown out because interviews were done in that facility," said Babb who indicated that incident occurred in the past with previous chiefs of police.

The new addition is needed for the fire station so that the town can get a new tanker truck capable of holding 3,000 gallons. That's enough water to suppress a large fire until departments to arrive with backup tankers.

The current tanker truck is about half that size, selectmen said.

The town may get the truck through grant money this year, said selectmen.

The town has been saving for a new tank truck but has no place to put it.

The fire station would also get an exhaust system to suck out diesel fumes from the trucks. Last year, fire chief Gene Doe showed an audience at town meeting that wall insulation in the fire station was turning black from soot. He told residents that firefighters were breathing the same air.

Although the proposed warrant article calls for $1.2 million, the selectmen hope they can get it done for much less perhaps $700,000 to $800,000. The warrant article says $1,070,000 would come from a bond and the rest would come from the new municipal building and land capital reserve fund.

"We don't like the $1.2 million number," said Babb. "We are still working with SMP Architects and we're also working with other people."

Resident Jim Breslin suggested the town could save even more money if it disbanded the police department and contracted with the Carroll County sheriff's office. Barnstead is considering such a move with the Belknap County sheriff.

Brelin also questioned the need for the tanker truck. Brelin looked at the runs sheets for the department and

learned that 81 percent were made medical reasons. Then 11 percent were car accidents in the area. Only two runs were for house fires.

"The federal government doesn't have any money, they borrow from the Chinese," said Breslin referring to the federal grant for the fire truck. "We have deficit spending at the federal level to meet our needs. The Chinese can't come repo our truck I hope."

Babb disagreed with Breslin's points. He said the community supports having a police department. But the selectmen also talked to the sheriff about the coverage he could offer.

"Two house fires don't seem like a lot unless it's your house," said Babb.

Resident Charlie Root wanted to see a breakdown of how much each section of the project would cost while Peter Parker wondered what the building would look like.

At town meeting there will be conceptual drawings from two different contractors for what it could look like. It would cost $120,000 just to get plans drawn up to get the project to go out to bid, said Babb who is unwilling to spend the money until he's certain the town's people want the project.

Because the complex is meant to house emergency services it has to be built 20 percent stronger than a normal building so they can withstand disasters, said fire chief Gene Doe. Selectman Neal Boyle asked the residents if they were willing to spend to make the outside of the building eye pleasing.

"For $50 I'd say make it pretty for $200,000 make it plain," resident Bob Smart replied. "Before I give you an answer I need to know the cost is."

Selectmen estimated the aesthetic costs to be about $40,000.

Several residents replied that they should make the building attractive.

Residents also discussed the length of the bond. Several said 10 years would be optimal.

A 10-year bond would cost about 20 cents on the tax rate. For a $175,000 home it would add about $41 to the tax bill.

An informational meeting will be held about this warrant article and others before town meeting, selectmen said.

In a phone interview, police chief Josh Shackford didn't have the details regarding the sex offender case that Babb mentioned. However, he said the police department offers no privacy.

For example, Shackford said he once had a suspect in the process of confessing to multiple burglaries when a resident started pounding on the door demanding to pay a ticket. Now, interviews are normally done at Madison Police Department.

“The Mists of Avalon,” which emphasized the loss of matriarchal Celtic culture to patriarchal Christian culture.

In any case, my hike Thursday was short and fulfilling with a fabulous view on top, worthy of a mythical isle.

Despite getting back down to my car by 9:30 a.m., the sunshine and view lingered in memory the rest of the day like a bright canvas.

In contrast, my attention on the drive up through the notch early that morning was fragmentary, rather than taking in the overall scene. I chose to look at particulars — a plowed pulloff here, an ice climbing route there. It was a common fate of locals.

But after pulling into the Highland Center parking lot, I was struck by the distinct winter form of Mount Avalon above. Set against the background of a higher Mount Field, it was highlighted by snow, and more distinct than in the summer.

I threw on MICROspikes and followed the wide swath of hiker footprints across the Highland Center lawn and past the train depot to the Avalon Trail. It was totally packed down and perfect for my traction.

The day before, I had hiked up Mount Hedgehog off the Kancamagus Highway with John Skelton, a Conway teacher who was enjoying school vacation. “What did we do before MICROspikes?” he commented good naturedly, as we walked down the well packed trail with traction.

Of course I agreed, though was all too aware of the overpowering influence of new technology.

It wasn’t so bad with instep crampons, was it? Or with the hobnail boots of a previous generation? Yet

time moves so swiftly, that today’s inventions will soon be old hat.

The Avalon Trail was perfectly packed down by modern peak baggers, out to get the 4,000-footers Mount Tom and Mount Field. I was grateful, and with my traction, gained a swift uphill momentum. The woods were bright and full of promise, the cold air purified my lungs and spirit with each breath.

I followed the trail up the ravine of Crawford Brook, and in 1.3 miles reached a junction where the Avalon Trail turned left and the A-Z Trail continued straight up to the ridge.

From there, the Avalon Trail was steep, but the conditions were perfect.

I saw where hikers descending Mount Field had slid down the trail, leaving a trough. I intended to follow suit to a point, on my way back down later, but wished I had my ice axe for the luxury of complete control.

Soon I was in the little saddle below the top of Mount Avalon, and following a steep side trail for 100 yards, came out on the bare summit.

The view was a pleasant revelation.

The Presidential Range dominated the view straight ahead, with the Highland Center nestled just below.

To the southeast was Mount Avalon’s unique view of Crawford Notch, from a level above Mount Willard.

I enjoyed the sunny summit, breaking bread with the mountain gods, and snapping photos. It occurred to me that this was gray jay country, but it was a bit too early for these early nesters to be out scrounging crumbs from hikers.

I lingered for half an hour, then headed down, sliding most of the way down to the junction, then rambling peacefully back to the highway.

of mouths traveling the coast of Mexico with a bunch of like minded anglers would be awesome, despite the threat of bandits and drug lords.

Fishing for big redfish in Louisiana or casting to mako sharks off the California coast sounds like fun to me. I guess I won’t be making any of these trips anytime soon, but I can live out my fantasies by watching these films. And as for rock and toll, I am pretty sure that it was my generation or maybe the one before me who invented it. I am not too old to still enjoy it although I might turn the volume down a little. I can’t wait for next year’s Fly Fishing Film Tour.

Fishing and hunting shows help shorten winter Of all the winter months March is by far the worst. For the most part I like winter, but by the time March rolls around I have had enough.

Right about now I need to go fishing. March is just too darn long.

Judging by the amount of traffic we have had in the shop this past week there are a lot of fellow fishermen who have severe cases of the “shack nasties.” We had a crowd of people in last Saturday for our fly tying get together, all seeking relief from the dreaded cabin fever.

I am not sure we got a lot of tying done, but for at least a little while we escaped the winter doldrums.

Spending some time at the local fly shop does help ease the pain, at least for a little while.

One sure release and an early

harbinger of spring is the New Hampshire Fly Fishing Show. This year’s show is March 5 and 6 at the Pelham Fish and Game Club in Pelham. The show is put on by the Merrimack River Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited and the Pelham Fish and Game Club.

The show attracts a number of New Hampshire fly shops, including the North Country Angler, who display their wears. There are also quite a few guide services and outfitters who attend. One of the big attractions are the seminars and demonstrations that are held through out the event. The rod building seminar is very popular and requires pre-registration.

There are always a bunch of good fly tiers demonstrating their talents and lots of hot bargains on tying materials to be had from the vendors. Admission is a mere seven bucks.

You might also want to mark your calendar right now for April 2. The New Hampshire Outdoor Gazette is hosting The Twin State Big Game and Outdoor Show in Lebanon, New Hampshire on that date. Check out the Gazette’s web site as they are adding more events and vendors each day. The show is to be held at the Lebanon High School. This is a show for hunters and anglers and sounds like it is going to be fun event.

See you on the river.

Great horned owls are the dominant predators in any woodlot and consume any prey they want to, even if some of the list is amusing to read. They will snap beetles out of the air, eat larvae and earthworms in large numbers as they search for voles and shrews on the forest floor under the leaf litter. Anything that gets startled into the open while it is foraging gets pounced upon.

Great horned owls are so successful that they may eat themselves out of a woodlot's mammalian population, after lining the nest with frozen carcasses. Sometimes ornithologists have found the nest site 30 to 70 feet up in a large white pine by the stench of the rotting prey. When the female feeds her young owlets, who grow up surrounded by the bodies she and the male have captured, she passes the prey from her beak to the oldest owlet while the others await their turn. The dominant first hatched owlet feeds his belly to the maximum and then the siblings step forward, unaware of the food all around them, despite their hunger. There are often plenty of carcasses about the nest, but the owlets don't know what do with all this food.

They pick at it passively during the day, but can't seem to eat it without the stimulation of the parent bird.

Those wildlife rehabilitators who have raised orphaned young great horned owlets in the spring learn to drag strips of raw beef a few inches long

across the young birds' feet. If the meat is dropped, it will have to be picked up by the human caretaker and laid across the birds' feet several times before bolting it down. After the crop is filled, it will accept no more food until this is digested and passed onto the stomach.

Another side of this story I find interesting, is that the mother great horned owl will often have taken a frozen carcass and hold it against her brood patch until it thaws enough to be fed to her young.

The male does most of the hunting at first, until the female can leave the nest's owlets to join him after their first three to four weeks of growth. Not only are they increasingly hungry, the male may really need her assistance due to foraging success. His nightly forays have probably taken their toll on the local prey population. But, animals that have hibernated during the long winter now emerge, and along with the returning spring population of migrant birds, the owlets' growth coincides with the increased supply of food for the great horned owls. The resurgence of animal populations as spring progresses ensures these owlets of a continued food supply.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Most people don’t listen well, but you’re not most people. By listening well today, you’ll learn a shortcut, save yourself from a futile effort and improve a relationship.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Focus so intently on being upbeat, encouraging and helpful that there’s no room for anything to exist but positivity.

No one is positive all the time, but you can keep this up for longer than most.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’ll be trying to get to the bottom of a problem. You’ll have to prod a bit to get answers. The one who says “I don’t know” just needs you to ask a slightly different question.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

There’s a pause in the action, and you can use this to your advantage. The in-between moments are perfect for connecting with others and speculating about what’s going to happen next.

You’ll love the anticipation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There will be a degree of social tension to break through. Pretend that the new people you meet are already your friends. When you act as though you’re already friends, you put everyone at ease.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 26). This year you will find tranquility and healing inside a peaceful relationship. Next month resolves an age-old problem.

April frees up some funds so that you can go on a trip. June brings an intriguing mystery for you to unravel. There’s a career shift in July. New friends come along in September. Taurus and Scorpio people will be adoring fans. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 15, 34, 1 and 20.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You want to keep doing more and more with your life. Someone who is happy with the status quo will be inspired by your ambition, and you will be likewise inspired by this person’s sense of inner peace.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your originality is a gift to the world. You will express your love for someone in a way that only you would. This genuine and unique gesture will be remembered and treasured.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Rid your workspace of bad luck items. If you have any bad reviews, get rid of them.

The same goes for pictures of yourself you never really liked, tools that don’t work and outdated information.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are ready to move on several projects at once. Plan your attack. At least three people are eager and willing to help you out. Earth signs will be especially helpful -- that’s Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are more impressionable than usual. You’ll be in a position to take on a mindset or a quality of another person. You may be listening to the words this person says, but it’s the overall feeling that you’ll leave with.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may do the same things you’ve been doing, but you’ll increase your focus by at least 10 percent, and this will make a huge difference in the results you are able to achieve.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t have to be a master of feng shui to realize that your environment is affecting your ability to attract the kind of people you want to know into your realm.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, February 26, 2011— Page 33

Today is Saturday, Feb. 26, the 57th day of 2011. There are 308 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 26, 1861, Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., received its initial funding from its namesake, businessman Matthew Vassar, who presented the newly formed Board of Trustees with more than $400,000 in securities. (Although created exclusively for women, Vassar went co-educational in 1969.)

On this date: In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte escaped from exile on the Island of Elba.

In 1870, an experimental air-driven subway, the Beach Pneumatic Transit, opened in New York City for public demonstrations.

In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson signed a measure establishing Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona.

In 1929, President Calvin Coolidge signed a measure establishing Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.

In 1940, the United States Air Defense Command was created.

In 1945, a midnight curfew on night clubs, bars and other places of entertainment was set to go into effect across the nation.

In 1952, Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced that Britain had developed its own atomic bomb.

In 1970, National Public Radio was incorporated.

In 1987, the Tower Commission, which probed the Iran-Contra affair, issued its report, which rebuked President Ronald Reagan for failing to control his national security staff.

In 1993, a bomb built by Islamic extremists exploded in the parking garage of New York’s World Trade Center, killing six people and injuring more than 1,000 others.

One year ago: New York Gov. David Paterson announced he wouldn’t seek re-election amid a criminal investigation over his handling of a domestic violence complaint against a top aide. (Investigators found no evidence of witness tampering.)

Today’s Birthdays: Singer Fats Domino is 83. Country-rock musician Paul Cotton (Poco) is 68. Actor-director Bill Duke is 68. Singer Mitch Ryder is 66. Rock musician Jonathan Cain (Journey) is 61. Singer Michael Bolton is 58. Actor Greg Germann is 53. Democratic National Chairman Tim Kaine is 53. Bandleader John McDaniel is 50.

Actress Jennifer Grant is 45. Rock musician Tim Commerford (Audioslave) is 43. Singer Erykah (EHR’-ih-kah) Badu is 40. Rhythmand-blues singer Rico Wade (Society of Soul) is 39. Olympic gold medal swimmer Jenny Thompson is 38. Rhythm-and-blues singer Kyle Norman (Jagged Edge) is 36.

Rock musician Chris Culos (O.A.R.) is 32.

HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR SUFFERS LOSS THAT HAS YET TO OCCUR

DEAR ABBY: I am a junior in high school and will graduate next year. I attend a private school where I have made many good friends -- teachers included -- and have created many happy memories.

I have just been hit with the realization that my time in high school is running out. Once I leave for college, I may never see or talk to my friends here again. I can’t process the thought of having such great friends and mentors and losing them. I’m afraid for the future and how I will miss everything I’ve experienced at my school.

Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with all this?

I can barely sleep because I feel like it’s only going to get worse. -- LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND IN LOUISIANA DEAR LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND: You have the rest of your junior year and senior year of high school to enjoy.

Please don’t cloud them by worrying that you will lose touch with your friends and mentors. Once you graduate, you will have the Internet and social networking sites to keep you in touch, and you can see each other during vacations.

You have great adventures ahead of you -- and so do they.

True friendships don’t have to end because of distance. While some of them may, others last a lifetime. And those are the ones that count.

DEAR ABBY: I have no contact with my mother for many reasons. It was difficult to sever the relationship, but after my son was born -- for his safety and well-being -- I felt I had no choice.

My mother has seen my son once, when he was 6 months old. She had just been released from jail and arrived at my home stoned and out of it. I made sure she found a safe way

home and haven’t spoken to her since.

My son will be 3 soon. Yesterday we were talking about families and he asked, “You don’t have a mommy?” I replied, “Yes, I do. Her name is Cindy.” Thankfully, he left it at that.

But it started me thinking about what I should say when he asks me questions about his grandmother. I had planned on talking to him when he was older because addictions can run in families, and I want him to be aware of it when making choices in his teen and later years. What do you tell a 3-yearold who wonders who his grandma is? -- OUT OF ANSWERS IN WISCONSIN DEAR OUT OF ANSWERS: You have already started the dialogue. When your son wants to know why Grandma Cindy doesn’t visit, that will be the time you tell him she can’t be around because she’s sick and isn’t able to be. As your son grows older, continue to answer his questions honestly and in an age-appropriate way.

DEAR ABBY: When we are in a restaurant eating a meal and someone we know comes by our table, he or she always reaches out to shake hands with me to be friendly. I am from the country and sometimes I pick up chicken strips, French fries, fish or hush puppies to eat them -- naturally my fingers get grease on them. Also, I don’t know whether that person has washed his or her hands or not. So, what’s a polite way to refuse to shake with someone? I don’t want to be rude. I try not to bother people when they’re eating because I believe that is a private time. -- ARKANSAS DINER DEAR DINER: All you have to say is, “I’d love to shake hands, but mine are greasy.” That’s not rude; it’s considerate -- and the person will probably thank you.

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

Where Did All My Money Go?

Most people want to be able to save money in order to have the things they need and want.

Americans love to spend their hard earned cash and use plastic. Usually it isn’t the large amount of dollars we spend that we can’t account for but rather the small amounts we spend on a daily basis. The few dollars spent here or there can wreak havoc on any well-designed budget. A few years back I overheard a couple at a local ATM talking about how she couldn’t figure out where the $60 she took out of the bank that morning went. It was about 11 o’clock in the morning. She only had a few dollars left in her wallet. Ever find yourself in that position?

Think carefully about those "extras" you spend money on that can add up to hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars a year. Are you someone who likes to stop on your way to work to buy a cup of coffee? Or do you sleep too late in the morning to make your own lunch before heading to work or school? You aren’t alone. Most importantly, have you stopped to figure out how much your “extras”

add up to?

The exercise on determining where money is being spent has proven extremely useful in curbing poor money management habits. For example, a $1.79 coffee five days a week adds up to $8.95 a week or $465.40 a year.

For some individuals or families this can represent a portion of their yearly electrical bill or payment towards an outstanding medical bill. It may not sound like a lot of money but when money is tight people need to look at all sources of extras that can add up to thousands of dollars a year. It is not to say you should not buy an occasional coffee but rather to think about how your daily purchases affect the bottom line of your budget.

Another way to figure out exactly how much your habits cost is to figure out how many hours you have to work in order to pay for it. For example, Jack is making $12.50 per hour and taking home $500 a week. If Jack spent about $5.50 daily to buy lunch, it would cost him $27.50 a week. To find out how many hours a week he has to work to

afford lunch, divide the amount lunch cost ($27.50) by his hourly rate ($12.50). The answer is 2.20.

In other words, Jack would work almost 2 hours a week to pay for lunch. Over a year, he would work about 104 hours to pay for his habit. Next time you don’t have enough time to make your lunch, think about having to work three weeks a year to pay for lunch from a local deli. Bringing a sandwich, drink, fruit and a snack from home will probably sound inviting. If time is a factor, prepare a portion of it the night before. Perhaps you could treat yourself to eating out one day a week.

It’s important to take a look at where your money is going to determine how you can cut back so that you can meet your financial obligations, save for goals and feel good at the same time. This exercise is useful in not only determining how much you are spending a year on food away from home but also on things such as lottery tickets, see next page

Voting, town and school district meetings March 8

The sheriff’s deputy was in Albany again to discuss the possibility of setting up a sub-station office at town hall. There was further discussion on the warrant article for $10,000 to use for patrol of areas in Albany. Check out Albany’s website, www.albanynh. org, to see what work is scheduled for town hall. Much of the schedule is associated with the energy audit that the town had done. The annual report will be available by Tuesday at town hall. Remember, the school district meeting starts at 7 p.m. followed directly by town meeting on Tuesday, March 8.

The planning board of the town of Albany has been working on two proposed zoning changes which the town’s residents will have an opportunity to vote on at the March 8 meeting. The first proposed change regards the permitted use of yard sales, also known as garage sales, porch sales, tag sales and other sales of household articles, on personal property. The amendment states that no resident can sell items on their property for more than 15 days. Otherwise, any use that exceeds the 15 days will be considered “commercial use� and must meet all requirements for commercial business. The impact of this change will improve the appearance of our town. The second change references recreational vehicles on residents’ properties.

This zoning amendment will then define what recreational vehicles are since they vary in so many ways.

These definitions of recreational vehicles, which are on wheels, will allow the town to treat them separately from other dwellings.

Although we in Albany cannot vote on the Conway school budget it still affects us in profound ways. It is the major portion of our tax bill and what they do in Conway affects the education of our children. For that reason it would be a good idea to attend the beliberative session being held on March 9 at Kennett High School at 7 p.m. Bring along your questions or opinfrom preceding page

magazines, vending machine snacks, etc. Only you can determine how much you are spending on those extras and what to do about it.

Remember, successful money managers control the way they spend their money. They use money to accomplish the things that are important to them. Good money managers are successful at “telling their money where to go� instead of “wondering where it went.�

Upper Saco Valley Land Trust receives $100,000 grant for Foss Mountain Project

EATON — The Upper Saco Valley Land Trust recently received a $100,000 grant from New Hampshire’s Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) to support its 99 acre Foss Mountain Project in Eaton. LCHIP is a highly competitive grant program that makes matching grants to communities and nonprofit organizations throughout New Hampshire to conserve and protect the state’s most important natural, cultural and historic resources.

The land trust initiated the Foss Mountain Project as the result of a direct request from the town of Eaton’s board of selectmen and conservation commission to partner with them to

preserve this important, communitydefining resource. Protection of the property provides public recreation as well as protects its scenic values, important wildlife habitat, productive blueberry fields and long term ability to produce forest products. In the words of Eaton’s selectmen: “When Madison split from Eaton in 1852, they left the real jewel behind and this town has enjoyed it ever since.

Foss Mountain is a unique area with magnificent vistas in all directions. It is important that the mountain be kept undeveloped and open to the public for future generations to enjoy.” see FOSS MOUNTAIN page 42

One, in the amount of $1,500 is the anonymous donation by a family of Our Lady of the Mountains Parish who, in the spirit of Christmas, pooled the money that they would have spent on gifts to help struggling new mothers and their infants. The second, a memorial donation of $1,000 was offered by the Knights to honor their recently deceased Chaplain of 20 years, Father Louis Soucey. Father Lou loved and served parishioners of Our Lady of the Mountains for 25 years and they loved him in return.

“The Knights in Council 7575 are do-ers, dedicated to helping those in need regardless of race or religion.” (for more information see www. northconwaykofc.org) In 2010, through diligent fund-raising the Our Lady of the Mountains Knights donated $7,500 to mentally challenged individuals and to Special Olympics.

HOWE from page 10

But this was hostile territory. The Americans, Swiss, and Canadians had won the lion’s share of the medals and they were threat in the men’s downhill as well. Now some burley members of the schnapps brigade spotted the red-white-andblue logos on my team car. They pulled at the door handles and rocked the car so hard that my cameras fell off the seat; they made faces in the windows and hammered on the roof, then some turned aside to pass something over the heads of the crowd — it was a black coffin with brass handles, draped in Canadian and American flags.

I knew there were wide margins of summer meadows outside the fences of the downhill course, but as the course came into view it seemed that over night the forest had grown right up to the edge of the track. Coming closer, I saw that the force of this passionate tidal wave had swept tens of thousands of fans up the fences marking the

FOSS MOUNTAIN from page 40

When a for sale sign appeared in the middle of the blueberry fields on the southern slope of Foss Mountain, the property was marketed as “Build Your Dream Home Here.” Anyone who has hiked to the summit of Foss Mountain and enjoyed the stunning 360 degree ridgeline views surely knows what a special place this is. Precisely because it is such as special place, the property was under significant and imminent threat from development.

In its most ambitious project to date, the land trust purchased the 99 acre Foss Mountain Project property in February 2010 for $320,000 and immediately initiated a fund-raising effort to raise $350,000 for the purchase price and related transaction costs from grants and individual contributions.

“The Land Trust is extremely grateful to everyone who has contributed to our Foss Mountain Project”

edge of the race course and flooded the meadows right to the barriers at the edge of the finish area.

The first racer was Swiss, and it was assumed that his time would be quickly eclipsed as the early numbers polished the course. But the next five starters could not catch him. Then came No. 7 – Franz Klammer, apotheosis of downhill racing since his gold medal in the home-country Olympics of 1976, a moment enshrined forever in the collective unconscious of Austria. Klammer was runner-up in the last training run here and every Austrian heart in the vast crowd knew he was holding something in reserve.

A great roaring followed Klammer down the mountain like an avalanche, but he didn’t catch the leader either, though if everyone in the finish area had inhaled instead of shouted, it might have been enough to bring him to the line soon enough to do it.

Then the image of Harti Weirather pushed off on the immense Diamondvision facing the grandstand

and as he passed the mid-point timing, the number “1” flashed on the screen and a wave of sound bordering on desperation swept through the valley. No theatrical wizard could have found a better stage: The finish area was in the backyard of “Downhill Charley” Kahr, patron saint of Austrian downhill racing. The racers hurtled down the vertiginous zeil schuss, steeper and steeper until they launched off a last roll in the terrain and landed almost on top of the finish line — they didn’t so much cross the line as drop down through it.

Harti Weirather came over the skyline and onto that last wall of icy snow and a single pulse beat through the crowd. If hope can create an event, if desire can be willed into being, it did so this morning and the huge “1” flashed again on the towering screen of lights — life as the Austrian know and love it was once more secure.

said Land Trust President Tom Earle. Demonstrating broad community support, in addition to the $100,000 LCHIP grant, other sources of funding to date include: $50,000 by warrant article from the town of Eaton; $60,000 from two anonymous foundations; $20,000 from Virginia Wellington Cabot Foundation; $10,000 from Davis Conservation Foundation; $5,000 from Ham Charitable Foundation; $5,000 from Fields Pond Foundation; and nearly $90,000 in individual contributions. The band trust is especially grateful to two anonymous donors who guaranteed our Northway Bank loan to purchase the property until the fundraising could be completed.

With the $100,000 LCHIP grant, the land trust has nearly reached its fund-raising goals. As soon as the fund-raising is complete, the trust plans to permanently protect the 99-acre Foss Mountain Project property’s conservation values with a conservation easement and donate the property to the Town of

Eaton.

The Upper Saco Valley Land Trust is non-profit organization working with local landowners to permanently protect the lands and waters that define our communities and enrich our quality of life.

Founded as a grassroots initiative in September 2000, the land trust preserves land for community benefit in the watershed of the upper Saco River in New Hampshire and Maine.

The land trust’s goal is to promote a healthy, sustainable balance between developed lands, natural lands and productive rural landscapes. To date, the organization has acquired 32 conservation easements and five properties in fee, permanently protecting over 4,500 acres of land in communities throughout its service area.

Arthur E. Tardie Jr.

FREEDOM — Arthur E. Tardie Jr., 65, of Freedom, beloved husband of Beverly Tardie, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2011, at Huggins Hospital in Wolfeboro. He was born Dec. 15, 1945 in Brockton, Mass., the son of Eleanor (Jefferson) Tardie and the late Arthur E. Tardie Sr., of Waterboro, Maine.

Art grew up in Easton, Mass. and worked at Borderland State Park in Easton before moving north.

He worked a number of years doing carpentry work and retired in December from the Tramway Marketplace in West Ossipee where he did maintenance work.

He enjoyed the outdoors, especially riding his motorcycle on which he made annual trips to Americade in upstate New York with his brother and friends. Art was a fun loving man who would give a helping hand to anyone that needed it.

Art is also survived by his brother, Donnie and his wife, Mary, of Waterboro; two sisters, Lee McNamara, of Easton, and Ann Goodreau, and her husband, Jimmy, of Brockton; and a sister-in-law, Paula Tardie, wife of his late brother, Bobby, of Easton. He is also survived by nieces, nephews, aunts and cousins.

A graveside service will be held in the spring at Lakeview Cemetery in Wolfeboro.

Donations in his memory may be made to Freedom Fire Rescue Department, P.O. Box 129, Freedom, NH, 03836.

Hi! My name is Hazel Hazel is a shepherd mix who came to HHAS as a stray. This darling of a dog is soooo sweet.

Hazel rarely barks and is receptive to affection. She appears to be fine with cats and her personality tells us that she could probably live with other dogs. She will be tested soon with both. Hazel likes to go for rides, appears to be housetrained and walks well on a leash. Hazel arrived at HHAS with an eye injury which is being treated, but would heal much better in a loving home. Older children are recommended due to her size and breed, however, we don’t want to insinuate that Hazel should be feared. We all love her here at the shelter.

Conway Village Congregational Church to introduce new pastor Rev. M. G. Martell Spagnolo will give concert at church March 1

Conway Village Congregational Church is proud to introduce their new pastor, Rev. M. G. Martell Spagnolo to the community with an evening of song. The concert will be held on March 1 at 7 p.m. at the Conway Village Congregational Church, (the brown church,) located at 132 Main Street, Conway. The concert is open to the public and will include a variety of vocal and piano music provided

by Martell Spagnolo and Shane Spangler, both UCC ministers.

Martell Spagnolo grew up in Wilmington, Delaware and Carneys Point, N.J. He began his singing career at age 5 with local school, church, and summer stock solos. His first teachers included: Metropolitan tenor Edgar diGenova; Philadelphia Academy diva Elisabeth Evansgaard; Matilda Samluk and Angela Curran Ryan.

While in high school, he studied with Dr. Jacqueline Falcon. His minor in vocal performance at the University of Delaware inspired him to focus on early choral music.

He worked with Dr. Andrew Cottle and Dr. Dennis Keller. The years following found Spagnolo as a tenor soloist for The Delaware

Singers, Opera Delaware, various choral societies and several theater organizations under the batons of Peter McCarthy and Stephen Gunzenhauser. He has been a soloist at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center and the Vatican for Pope John Paul II. He has sung in many of the great cathedrals throughout Europe and the states. He was a regular cantor at the Immaculate Conception Basilica in Washington, D.C. He has been the recipient of several vocal awards and scholarships. The most recent is the 2009 MUSE Gift of Song Scholarship.

Spagnolo, ordained in 1999 with a master of arts in sacred scripture and a master of divinity, has completed coursework for his doctor of ministry and is now the pastor of the Conway Village Congregational Church in Conway. He is glad to be serving in such a beautiful part of the world.

Shane Spangler grew up in rural Kansas, and began learning the piano at age 3 with his mother. He began formal lessons at age 7 with Kathleen Haag.

In 1988, his family moved to Branson, Missouri, where Shane

began to study with Luis Rojas, then pianist-in-residence at College of the Ozarks.

He majored in piano performance at Washburn University, studying with James Rivers. He made his orchestral debut in 1998, soloing with the St. Joseph Symphony Orchestra. In 2001, he moved to Boston to enter seminary, and continued piano studies at New England Conservatory, where he studied with Sergey Schepkin.

He currently studies with Karen Kushner at the Conservatory of the University of Missouri-Kansas City. A published composer, Spangler released his first CD of solo piano music, Home By Another Way, in 2003, and a Holiday-themed duo CD, Incarnation, with cellist Samuel Cho in December 2010. He was ordained to the ministry in 2008, and is currently pastor of Bethany United Church of Christ in Hiawatha and Fairview United Church of Christ in Fairview, Kansas. He is collaborating on several new recording projects, and is an active soloist and chamber musician.

HOME OF THE WEEK

CONDO COLUMN

Secure Condos

BY SUSAN K. O’BRIEN

A thief was operating in the condominium complex.

Wood was being stolen from the front of several units. No one knew when the theft occurred, only that it was happening on different days, as if the thief believed it was safer to lift frequent, small amounts rather than one large haul.

The strangest part of the mystery was that the wood was kept in open half-shed areas attached directly to the condominium at the front door.

Anyone stealing the wood would not be sneaking down in back, but would be conducting a bold theft where he or she would be most likely to be seen. The other odd aspect was that the wood was being stolen from the uppermost units in the complex, necessitating that Susan K. O’Brien the thief drive past all the other units both en route to the wood piles and, again, to leave the property with a load of wood.

At first, the petty theft was more annoying than frightening. Many of the Mount Washington Valley owners in the association used wood as a primary source of heat in the frigid winters, and losing this fuel was often not easy to replace after the heating season began. But it didn’t feel like a personal threat.

Neighbors chatted briefly about the problem, agreed to try and keep watch, and the winter proceeded without further incident.

But the following late fall, the same thing happened. Now residents were beginning to have deeper concerns. Was this an inside job, perpetrated by someone who occasionally was employed on the grounds? Was it one of the many skiers who were temporary but repeat renters?

Or, worse, was it one of their own, another owner stealing from a neighbor? Worst of all, was this relatively minor theft about to become something more major, the thief or thieves graduating to more valuable items or maybe even to a home invasion?

Considering these unsavory possibilities, some owners now took up the cause in earnest.

One posted threatening signs on his woodpile, stating a camera was photographing anyone who stole the wood. Another put a door over the wood shack and secured it with a thick padlock.

E-mails circulated among the owners, peppered with uneasy sightings of possible suspects. Who, the owners asked, would be risking a possible police action and maybe even jail for a few sticks of wood? I personally wondered if it could be a person whose family really needed the fuel to keep warm in the winter in the ever-worsening economy, someone who perhaps went from complex to complex in the valley, stealing some wood from one and more from the next.

In general, owning and living in a condominium is probably safer than renting or living in a single family home. A web site called CondoCompany.com, for example, reports that renters in New York City have an 85 percent higher chance of burglary than do condo owners. The reasons are unclear, the web site states, but may be related to homeowners associations that provide better security and keep stricter watch over the property. see CONDOS page 45

Privacy amidst the pines Today’s Home of the Week is located in the Evergreen by the Pines development in Conway.

CONWAY — The privacy of a home, the benefits of a condo.

That's what this spacious contemporary saltbox offers.

The four-bedroom home, built in 2004, is part of the Evergreens on the Saco development in Conway.

The association takes care of lawn maintenance, plowing and shoveling.

As the name of the development suggests, the home is set amongst the pines along the Saco River, and there is 2,400 feet of water frontage.

Other features include hardwood floors; two-car garage; screened-in porch; a first-floor master bedroom with bath and laundry; large deck; gas fireplace; and a finished basement than can be used as an in-law apartment with its own kitchen, bath, living room, bedroom and entrance.

The home has a total of 3,202 square feet of space.

"This is a luxurious home in new condition, priced considerably below what you would pay for new construction," says Select Real Estate's Bonnie Hayes, the listing agent for the property.

The home is priced at $310,000.

Hayes can be reached at (603) 447-3813, or bonnie@selectrealestate.com.

Website for Select Real Estate is www.selectrealestate.com. The Multiple Listing Service number for the home is 4044152.

The home has a private end-of-the-road location.

There is 3,202 square feet of space.

But as the wood thief shows, it’s hard to be too safe in your condominium. Anyone who’s spent a few evenings watching Identification Discovery Channel on cable TV knows that random crimes occur in even the safest places in America. So taking a few precautions can give you peace of mind.

These include the basics of keeping your doors and windows locked whenever you can, particularly at night and during times you’re not in residence. Check for loose window or door fittings that could allow a criminal in even if you think the unit is secure.

An E-zine article, “Condo Security Needs Revamping” by Frank Fourchalk, asks readers to be aware that brand-new condos may be no safer than older units. He says it depends completely on the quality of the building and the builder’s commitment to safety and security.

If you’re moving into a new condominium, you should immediately change the locks. Who else has a key? Many, if not most, associations require that you leave a key with a manager. Has that manager been checked out? Is he or she ethical about not giving out keys to unsupervised workmen when you aren’t home? Don’t be afraid to ask your property manager what security procedures are followed.

Condominiums that don’t have in-unit washers and dryers often have basement or less-secure areas for laundry. These areas in particular can pose security problems, and owners probably shouldn’t attend to their laundry alone. The same may be true for exercise centers.

What about alarms? You have to weigh the pros

and cons of having a burglar alarm system. Such alarms often are incredibly easy to set off accidentally. What about this hassle for you and your neighbors? If you’re a woman living alone, particularly if you live in a city or remote rural area, or if you reside in a higher-crime area, it may be well worth the problems to install a good alarm system. I’ve lived with and without alarms, and personally I’d much rather have one; the peace of mind is very significant.

If you don’t want to install an alarm, there are burglar sticks that fit against interior doorknobs that can be very effective in keeping out an intruder who has managed to pick the lock. There also are small, battery-operated alarm systems that can be placed at the bottom of the door that will send off a little shriek if someone is breaking in.

Take precautions against identity theft, particularly if you are a vacation condo owner renting frequently. Don’t leave documents accessible that display your private information. At one of our condos, where there were frequent renters and repairmen in when we weren’t home, we installed a safe in the basement and bolted it to the floor. It was invaluable for prevention of problems.

Bring up security issues for regular review at association meetings: • Are security lights, road lights, and other illumination kept in good working order? What is the process for regular inspection?

• Is annual attention given to trimming bushes, shrubs and trees close to doors and other access areas?

• Is there a six-foot or higher fence around the complex, and if not, is it possible to install one?

• Are the address/complex name and unit numbers clearly visible to police (or other emergency

service providers?)

• Are common laundry and exercise areas kept locked, with strict attention to exactly who has keys?

• What can the association do to educate owners and their children on security?

As always, one of the best ways to prevent or identify problems early is to know your neighbors and attend your association meetings. Stay educated on all issues, including security, and maintain good communication. If you spot a potential problem, don’t minimize it; report it promptly and expect a speedy solution.

The town of Florissant, Missouri, with a population of about 50,000, bills itself as “one of the safest towns in America.” Perhaps one reason is the detailed amount of information available on apartment/condominium security measures any association can take to ensure the safety and property of owners. It’s the very best I have found: www.florissantmo.com/policenew/communityService/apartmentSecurity.pdf Here you will find exact specifications on how to provide security for your condominium, expanding on my suggestions and offering many more.

The mystery of the stolen wood was never solved, and more was lost than just some wood: for a time, it affected the quality of life in the complex as owners looked at neighbors, workmen and visitors with suspicion. It was not a happy time in the life of the association.

I hope your condo life will not include such an event.

Market warming up in Carroll County Despite a frigid and snow-caked New Hampshire winter, sales in the state increased marginally in the first month of the year over the same period from a year ago, marking the second straight January that has seen a monthly uptick in residential homes sold.

The towns in Carroll County showed the strongest growth in the state. January 2011 home sales were up 66.7 percent, while condo sales were up 275 percent over 2010.

According to data released this week by the New Hampshire Association of Realtors, statewide in N.H. there were 543 homes sold in January 2011, up 2.1 percent over 2010.

Median price on those homes, meanwhile, dipped by 3.9 percent, from $215,000 in January 2010 to $206,600 in January 2011. But, strong demand pushed prices in Carroll County up 26.1 percent increase over 2010.

“The Mount Washington Valley has performed much better than the rest of the state,” said Paul Mayer, president of the White Mountain Board of Realtors and owner of Black Bear Realty, “Many buyers, just starting their searches, are surprised by the strong retiree and second-home market we have been experiencing here since the fall of 2010. As long as sellers are reasonable about the fair market value of their properties, there are buyers out there.”

“Considering the limitations on the ability for sellers to actually get out and see homes this season, we’re taking any increase in activity as a positive sign,” said N.H. Association of Realtors president Tom Riley, a 35-year veteran of the real estate industry and president of Riley Enterprises in Bedford. “As the economy see next page

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, February 26, 2011— Page 47

from preceding page

slowly begins to turn in a positive way, as long as we don’t see dramatic changes in either direction, we feel as though the big picture with regard to the housing market is steadily brightening.”

Riley stopped short of making any predictions, pointing out that there is still no clear trend line over the past two years to give a real sense of the market’s future course. Impacted by the home-buyer tax credit in 2009 and 2010, the market saw nine consecutive monthly sales increases through the middle of 2010, then five straight months of decreases prior to an uptick in December, and now a

January increase.

In terms of local markets, seven of the state’s 10 counties saw unit sales increases in January compared to a year ago, including the 67 percent jump in Carroll County, 8.1 percent in Merrimack County and 4.5 percent in Cheshire County. The state’s largest county, Hillsborough, witnessed a 1.3 percent sales increase.

With inventory still relatively high, interest rates low and prices competitive, Riley said he would not be surprised to see an excellent spring in terms of sales. “There is no crystal ball, but there is no doubt that the climate is ripe for a continued increase in activity,” he said. “Buyers have excellent opportunities right now.”

Is now the time to lock in a rate?

BY ERIK MARTIN CTW FEATURES

Mortgage interest rates played an enticing game of “how low can you go” limbo late last year, with fixedrate 30-year mortgages averaging a historic low of 4.17 percent the week of Nov. 11. But they’ve since crept up, recently eclipsing 5 percent,

according to the most recent weekly national survey on Bankrate.com at the time of this writing.

The rise in rates can be attributed primarily to increasing expectations for future economic growth, with the trend in most economic indicators over the last few months generally

showing improvement, says Frances Katzen, an agent with Prudential Douglas Elliman in New York.

Despite the recent rise in rates, it’s important to keep in mind that they still remain near historically low levels. Which begs the question: Should buyers or refinancers lock in now or wait for rates to dip even lower?

Depending on your situation, it may not be a good idea to “time” the market and hold out hopes that rates will drop again.

“It’s always difficult to predict where rates are going and how quickly they will move. But it is a very good time to lock in a fixed interest rate if this is the program that is right for you,” says Paul Anastos of Mortgage Master Inc., Walpole, Mass.-based lender. “If you are refinancing and in a situation where you can save $75 to $200 in monthly payments, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to wait for another .125 percent movement in rates to save another $5 to $20 a month.”

Although few can agree on which direction mortgage interest rates will trend over the coming months, some see rates holding steady.

“Rates will remain low as long as unemployment remains low,” says, like Steven Alexander, president of Private Mortgage Services in Atlanta. © CTW Features

In recession’s wake, frugal ways make a comeback

BY MATT RICHTEL NEW YORK TIMES

Throw away the cellphone after two years? Not so fast. Ditch the flat-panel TV for an even thinner model? Maybe next year. Replace the blouse with the hole? Darn it!

Consumer spending has picked up, but for some Americans the recession has left something behind: a greater interest in making stuff last.

For a number of products — cars, phones, computers, even shampoo and toothpaste — the data shows a slowing of product life cycles and consumption. In many cases the difference is mere months, but economists and consumers say the approach just may outlast a full recovery and the return of easy credit, because of the strong impression the downturn made on consumers.

It is hardly the stuff of generations past, those stung by the Great Depression, who held onto antediluvian dishware and stored canned goods until rust formed on the lids. But for the moment, many citizens of a throwaway society are making fewer visits to the trash and recycling bins.

In the case of Patti Hauseman of Brooklyn, that meant sticking with a five-year-old Apple computer until it started making odd whirring noises and occasionally malfunctioning.

She and her boyfriend bought a new

computer for Christmas — actually, a refurbished one.

“A week later, the old one died. We timed it pretty well,” Hauseman said with a laugh. Her cautious approach applies to other products: she is holding out on upgrading two seven-yearold tube-type TVs, and has taken to mending clothes rather than replacing them.

Hauseman, 41, a general manager of an independent record label, said this mentality was the product of several factors, including bills that have swelled more quickly than her income.

She said it was not so much that she could not afford new things, but that the last few years of economic turmoil had left her feeling that she could be stealing from her future by throwing away goods that still had value.

“I’ve started upgrading for necessity, not vanity,” she said, adding that to do otherwise “just does feel wasteful.”

Whether a broad, long-term shift in consumer habits is under way is a question tickling economists and analysts. Some insist that, as with the Depression, the recent downturn has made a lingering impression on how people view the propriety of, say, stuffing a still-working cellphone into a desk drawer in favor of a newer model.

But other experts and historians argue that as spending and credit return, so will yearnings to favor

brands, fashion and novelty over practicality.

With some products, the upgrade cycle is actually accelerating. According to NPD, a market research firm, consumers in 2010 reported spending more to upgrade major kitchen appliances like refrigerators than they did in 2008 or 2009, when such spending fell. The firm found similar trends at work in smaller kitchen and personal care appliances.

In the case of televisions, upgrades have slowed, but only because so many people snapped up flat-panel sets in recent years. There is now a lull in the product cycle, but not necessarily in consumer demand.

Tyler Cowen, an economist at George Mason University, said it was simply too soon to tell whether economic recovery would bring back a more disposable society. “There aren’t enough aggregate statistics since the crash for us to know,” he said.

But in some important categories there are indications of slowed upgrades. Consumers are holding onto new cars for a record 63.9 months, up 4.5 months from a year ago and 14 percent since the end of 2008, according to Polk, a research firm. In fact, the firm said, when used cars are included, the average length of car ownership stands at 52.2 months, also a record. see next page

Industry analysts also report that people on average upgrade their cellphones every 18 months, up from every 16 months just a few years ago. They hold onto their laptops an average of 4 years and 4 months, a month longer than they did a year ago, though that figure has been creeping up since 2000.

And consumers are making sure to get the last drop from their household products, said Ali Dibadj, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein who covers big companies like Colgate-Palmolive and Clorox.

“People are squeezing the last bit out of the shampoo. They seem to be adding more water to really squeeze out the last bit,” Mr. Dibadj said, noting

financial reports from major companies showing frugality with things like razor blades, laundry detergent and toothpaste. “Consumers are doing their best to conserve — we’re seeing it again and again and again.”

Nancy F. Koehn, a professor at the Harvard Business School and a historian of consumer behavior, said she would bet her boot collection that the change was, if not permanent, at least lasting. She said it stemmed not just from a shaky economy but also from a sense that great institutions — like government and major corporations — might not be reliable saviors in a crisis.

“We’re not going back to a time of our grandmothers’ tales of what they kept and how they used

things so carefully. But we’ll see a consistent inching or trudging towards that,” Professor Koehn said.

“It’s a glimmer of that, a flickering of it.”

For Walt Truelson, a management consultant in Portland, Ore., that has meant a shift in his lifelong love affair with cars, specifically Jaguars. He typically bought a new or slightly used one every year or two, but has had his current car, a 1999 model in dark green, for four years. “It’s going to stay in my possession as long as it runs,” he said.

Truelson, who declined to give his age because he said he acts much younger than he is, also switched 18 months ago to paying for cellphone minutes as he

uses them, rather than subscribing to an expensive monthly plan.

He said the changes reflect in part the fact that his business fell with the economy, but also what he says is a reassessment of the need to constantly have new things: “It’s a question of shifting values.”

In a few cases, consumers who are inclined to discard less are getting some positive reinforcement from an unlikely corner: companies that profit from upgrades.

Levi Strauss is telling customers to take steps that will actually lead them to buy fewer pairs of jeans. The Levi’s sustainability campaign urges customers to wash their jeans less often and in cold water, a move that the company says reduces water use.

“And they absolutely will last longer,” said Michael Kobori, vice president for social and environmental sustainability at Levi’s. He said the message was part of building trust with consumers and emphasizing the durability of the company’s products.

When it comes to holding onto clothing, Genevieve Tung, 28, needs no campaign to motivate her. She has recently mended ripped socks and pants, sewn buttons onto jackets and gone to great lengths to save a peach silk blouse stained by soy sauce.

“I tried several home remedies involving dishwashing detergent and baking soda, had it drycleaned twice,” she said. “I bought fabric dye I’m going to cook on the stove and hope the dark color dye will blend in.”

Tung, who lives in Brooklyn, recently left a corporate law job to go back to school, a move that curtailed her income. She is also worried about relying over the long term on the pension of her husband, a New York City paramedic, given how unreliable pensions seem.

She says there are other motivations too: “Personally, avoiding waste and using things until they’re used up seems like a common-sense way to live.”
