Snowy February ends with...more snow A bicyclist travels through the wet snow in downtown North Conway Monday. (JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTO)

CONWAY — “I think we should all revolt and go mow our lawns.” That was how M&D Productions reacted to The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook post on Friday, which asked readers

how they felt about that day’s snow. That snow fell a few days before the weekend’s additional mix of snow, which was followed by Monday’s snow and freezing rain. Still, other readers were more positive about February’s weather. “Never enough snow!” wrote Howie

Wemyss, general manager of Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center and the Mount Washington Auto Road, which presents its Ski to the Clouds race March 6. “Keep it coming.” Monday’s mix led to schools being cansee SNOW page 10

Qaddafi YouTube spoof gets Arab fans JERUSALEM (NY Times) — A YouTube clip mocking Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s megalomania is fast becoming a popular token of the Libya uprising across the Middle East. And in an added affront to Colonel Qaddafi, it was created by an Israeli living in Tel Aviv. Noy Alooshe, 31, an Israeli journalist, musician and Internet buff, said he saw Colonel Qaddafi’s televised speech last Tuesday in which the Libyan leader vowed to hunt down protesters “inch by inch, house by house, home by home, alleyway by alleyway,” and immediately identified it as a “classic.” Mr. Alooshe spent a few hours at the computer, using pitch corrector technology to set the speech to the music of “Hey Baby,” a song by the American rapper Pitbull, featuring another artist, T-Pain. Mr. Alooshe titled it “Zenga-Zenga,” echoing Colonel Qaddafi’s repetition of the word zanqa, Arabic for alleyway. By the early hours of Wednesday morning, Mr. Alooshe had uploaded the electro hip-hop remix to YouTube, and he began promoting it on Twitter and Facebook, sending the link to the pages of young Arab revolutionaries. By Sunday night, the original clip had received nearly 500,000 hits and had gone viral.

BENGHAZI, Libya (NY Times) — Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi’s forces struck back on three fronts on Monday, using fighter jets, special forces units and regular army troops in an escalation of hostilities that brought Libya closer to civil war. The attacks by the colo-

nel’s troops on an oil refinery in central Libya and on cities on either side of the country unsettled rebel leaders — who earlier had claimed they were close to liberating the country — and showed that despite defections by the military, the government still possessed powerful assets, including

fighter pilots willing to bomb Libyan cities. But the ease with which at least one assault, on the western city of Zawiyah, was repelled by anti-government forces raised questions about the ability of the government to muster a serious challenge to the rebels’ growing power.

Yemen’s opposition backs protesters SANA, Yemen (NY Times) — Yemen’s political opposition rejected an invitation from President Ali Abdullah Saleh to form a national unity government and instead threw its support for the first time behind street protests calling for an immediate end to his authoritarian rule. The proposal — and its immediate rejection — came ahead of what organizers have dubbed a “day of rage” on Tuesday, a title chosen for its resonance with protests in Egypt that lead to the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak. President Saleh floated the idea of including

opposition party members in key leadership positions in an effort to quell weeks of sustained protest in several major cities, but the details were left vague and open to negotiation. Directly calling for Saleh to step down is a shift in the official rhetoric of the opposition, which had focused on extracting concessions and reforms. Saleh has promised not to run for president again when his term expires in 2013, but the protesters who have taken to the streets day after day — mostly students and other young Yemenis — have continued to demand his immediate departure.

First deep-water drilling permit issued since spill

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The Interior Department said Monday that it had approved the first new deep-water drilling permit in the Gulf of Mexico since the BP explosion and spill last spring, a milestone after a period of intense uncertainty for industry and a wholesale remaking of the nation’s system of offshore oil and gas regulation. Michael R. Bromwich, director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, said that Noble Energy had been granted permission to resume drilling in 6,500 feet of water off the coast of Louisiana. Work on the well was suspended, along with virtually all other drilling activity in water deeper than 5,000 feet, immediately after the Deepwater Horizon accident last April 20. The disaster killed 11 rig workers and spewed nearly five million barrels of oil into the ocean. Still, there was no indication that drilling in the gulf would return anytime soon to levels preceding the BP well blowout last April.

Jury selection underway in Christopher Gribble trial BY KATHRYN MARCHOCKI THE UNION LEADER

NASHUA — Prospective jurors braved treacherous road and weather conditions Monday to report to jury duty on the first day of trial for admitted Mont Vernon killer Christopher A. Gribble. Icy roads delayed the start of general jury selection in Hillsborough County Superior Court by about one hour. Still, all but about 10 of the 139 jurors scheduled to appear reported for duty by 9:45 a.m. Gribble has admitted killing Mont Vernon mother Kimberly L. Cates, 42, and maiming her daughter, Jaimie, then 11, during a Oct. 4, 2009 predawn home invasion, but claims he was legally insane at the time. Judge Gillian L. Abramson opened the session at 9:50 a.m. thanking prospective jurors for making it in and the sacrifices involved in fulfilling their civic duty.

“I want to begin by thanking all of you for making it to court this morning under some pretty challenging conditions,” the judge told the large panel gathered in a jury assembly one. Sixteen jurors will be seated. Four jurors will be deemed alternates after evidence has been completed. Jurors will not be sequestered. Gillian began the day by giving preliminary instructions to the potential jurors and then conducted a preliminary screening of prospective jurors. “The purpose of this entire exercise is that any person put to trial will receive a fair and objective trial based on the evidence alone,” Abramson said. She gave prospective jurors preliminary instructions and general screening questions for more than an hour. The judge also introduced Gribble and defense attorneys Donna Brown and Matthew Hill to the panel along with state prosecutors Jeffery Strelzin and Peter Hinckley.

January jobless rate unchanged BY DENIS PAISTE THE UNION LEADER

MANCHESTER — New Hampshire’s jobless rate for January 2011 was 5.6 percent, unchanged from the revised December 2010 rate of 5.6 percent, New Hampshire Employment Security said Monday. The preliminary seasonally adjusted jobless rate of 5.6 percent was 1.1 percentage points less than the January 2010 seasonally adjusted

rate of 6.7 percent. The Economic and Labor Market Information Bureau said 8,350 more residents were employed than a year ago in January, for a total of 702,710 employed. That was 790 more than the previous month of December 2010. The number of unemployed residents decreased by 320 over-the-month to 41,440 and by 8,120 over the year. Nationally, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for January 2011 was 9.0 percent.

Vote no, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t abolish board, commission To the editor: By now most Tamworth residents are probably aware that an important pair of votes are coming up on March 8 and 9. On the warrant this year, by petition of a small group of townspeople, are articles to abolish our townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning board and conservation commission. To clarify the logistics, which are a bit confusing: because of state law requirements, the vote to abolish the planning board will be on the written ballot at the polls on Tuesday, March 8. It is Article 4. The vote to abolish the conservation commission will take place on the

floor at town meeting, which starts at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 9. It is Article 5, early in the meeting. Both voting and town meeting will take place at the K. A. Brett School. I urge voters to vote no (not to abolish) on both articles. The planning board and the conservation commission play essential roles in keeping our town organized, balanced and consistent as to land use of all kinds. The current members of both boards are people of integrity, dedication and fairness. Abolishing either board would be a big mistake. Kate Thompson Tamworth

King tactics aim to undermine opposition To the editor, This is in response to Mr. Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent letter regarding the Lead Mine Road petition. He is unable to present reasons why his position is in the public interest, so he resorts to a tactical approach to undermine the opposition. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure you have noticed the pattern. First he likes to discredit his opposition by insinuating ulterior motives or flawed reasoning. He implies that his own motives are pure and his reasoning flawless. Then he likes to carpet bomb the public with partial or distorted facts and obscure references. This gives the impression that he

is very knowledgeable on the topic. He uses association to group Lead Mine Road with Class VI roads when he knows that Lead Mine Road is not a Class VI road. He likes to scare people with the impending apocalypse that will occur if his views are opposed. Finally he likes to declare that he has the public interest in mind while those who oppose him do not. As Mr. King uses this tactical approach, try to determine if what he is saying is designed to discredit, distract, distort, scare, or maybe some day inform. Ray Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien Silver Lake

Vote for Henry Spencer as selectman To the editor: Please vote for Henry Spencer for selectman. I have worked with Henry for many years on the zoning board and he has always

been open minded and fair. But above all, Henry is his own man and I believe would bring a lot to the board. Jory B. Augenti Effingham

Tele-Talk

Should police and other departments be allowed to spend money that is left over at the end of the year? There were 50 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question: “Should police and other departments be allowed to spend money that is left over at the end of the year?” Eighteen people said some or all departments should be allowed to spend money that is left over at the end of the year; 28 said the money should not be spent. I think this is a loaded question that the Conway Daily Sun is actually picking on the police department. I bet if the Conway Sun did an accurate investigation, they would find out that all departments of the town follow this process by spending money at the end of the year, that they have left over — the town garage, town office, all those guys — the dump, I’m sure — that extra money they have, or left-over money, they spend upgrading whatever systems or equipment or things they need. I just don’t think it’s the police department. This is a town-wide deal — and it’s probably the way they need to do it. Because if they, for instance, need new equipment and they put the money back and then ask for it, I’m sure the selectmen would agree with them until they left and then disagree with them behind closed doors and make them get a special article, which most likely the townspeople would vote down. So the only way to upgrade is to use the money left over at the end of the year to buy the things they need. And that is, like I said, town-wide. Chris Perley once said we can pay later or we can pay now. A lot of things that Perley does I don’t agree with, but he is right in this aspect. What I understand by him saying pay now is to buy the equipment that the police department needs not only to keep the officers safe but to bring the department up to standards and not trying to play policeman in the dark age. I believe they should be able to do that. From what I know of Chief Ed Wagner he’s doing a great job over there, and with the money that is left over at the end of the year, it’s my understanding that he’s upgrading the department with the equipment they need to stay one step ahead of the bad guys. So, I would definitely say yes and that they’re doing a good job and the town should support them. Otherwise the bad guys are going to be one step ahead of the police and they’ll be running the town instead of the law enforcement agencies. I support the police department 100 percent. Yeah they should definitely be able to spend the money. They need to spend it on new head shaving gear. I believe that the police and other departments should return whatever money is left over, because that money belongs to the taxpayers because it was the taxpayers’ money in the first place. But it’s not unusual to expect the police to do what they did because look at who the police commissioners are: Kennett, Dougherty and this other guy who nobody knows anything about. Please, they ask for two or three more police officers and then they cry poor. But now that they have the money they won’t return it. Isn’t

there something hypocritical about that? My answer is no. Just because it is there they don’t have to spend it. They could keep it and ask for less for next year or turn it back in to offset taxes for the taxpayers. No, I think it should be returned. They’re ridiculous; it should be given back to the taxpayers. No, they should not be able to spend the money that is left over at the end of the year. What should happen is some type of program so that the money that is left over should go toward the school lunch program for the children that don’t meet the guideline by a few dollars or whatever that is a little bit over, where they can’t get the free lunches, because parents have one to three or four children in school, so they need the help. So the fund should go toward that. First regarding the spending that took place in 2008 or 2009, how can sitting police commissioners be expected to know where it went? It’s been a year or two in the past. And how could they be expected to know where it went this year. That’s still in the future. When Ms. Kennett says she has no knowledge, she ain’t kidding. Now, of course the police and other departments should be allowed to spend every penny of that “certain amount of money within those guidelines,” whatever those are. In fact it is their duty to do so. Remember, “If you go cheap, you don’t go home.” And if they don’t go home, that’s a whole lot of overtime. Of course they don’t buy things they don’t need: an ultrasonic gun cleaner for guns that have never been cleaned, flashlights for patrols formerly in the dark, and finally, after all these years, a camera and a VCR. I can’t believe they didn’t buy some sweats and maybe a new car or two. I hope they don’t find out how useful a helicopter might be. Best solution for the taxpayers: Cut the budget to the bone. Make these wise guys come hat in hand to the town for ever extra dollar and be prepared to ignore every threat and innuendo. Carl from Conway. No. They ought to be able to put it toward their next year’s budget which is ridiculously high already for policemen and all the other departments. Of course the police and other departments in the town should be allowed to spend money at the end of the year on needed items. If the department heads in this town can’t make the decisions to spend money for needed equipment, who would they turn to? The selectmen? The budget committee? Both of those boards were told of a pressing need for a new police officer, said they’d approve it, but then said find the money elsewhere in your budget. Could they now say you shouldn’t spend money on other things if it’s needed? That’s hypocritical. Let the department heads run their departments — we have a perfect forum for debate and deliberation

on the monies that are assigned to the various organizations in town — and let the leaders do what they do best — lead. Do not micromanage. Not enough real news to report on? You manufacture controversy, pointing out that a police department spends money but somehow stays within their budget for a fiscal year, and you somehow turn that into some kind of behind the scenes emergency? Why don’t you report on some real news rather than just stirring up the pot? So, let me see if I have this right: It’s controversial because the police department spent money that was otherwise unassigned or saved through good budgeting and management in December, and that’s somehow wrong. But if they spent the money in June and just ended up at the end of the year with nothing left over that would be OK. Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. Let the police do what they do best and protect the community and leave the bean counting and the micromanaging and the backstabbing to the budget committee. Chris from North Conway. Isn’t it obvious. You give them so much money they couldn’t possibly spend it all in one year. Boy, you think you ought to lighten up a little bit. They should be required to return all the items that they have purchased until they get approval from the town that money should be returned. And if it can’t be returned, all the expense of those items should be taken out of their wages. And next year’s budget should reflect this amount of purchases so the budget is shrunk accordingly so that there is no excess to go out and buy things that are not needed. Perhaps Chief Wagner and Lieutenant Perley are not aware of the cutbacks that are going on across the nation for police officers and their budgets. Example: Camden, N.J. I think the spend-all attitude is very disrespectful to the taxpayers in this town. This last minute, runaway spending to use up the allotted budget must stop. Wake up, police commissioners. I found Daymond Steer’s coverage eye opening. Does this same policy go on with the school budgets. As a community, we all need to conserve resources and reduce expenses. This is Betty in East Conway. No, the police department or any other department should only be spending on items voted on at town meeting unless an emergency occurs. Any balance in the police department budget should remain as part of the town’s overall budget. I think that this is trying to do something that’s going to help everybody out more and they’re not wasting it on anything stupid. So, yes if they need something to make it more efficient for us then I think they should be able to do that. In a Washington Post article, dated Feb. 20, total indebtedness of federal, state and local governments have

reached 85 percent of GDP, excluding Social Security. Municipal and state governments have racked up 15 percent of that, or $2.4 trillion. With our economy on the ropes, gas prices rising, we need to save money wherever we can, especially where we have the most control, at the local level. We need the leaders of our state, especially our town and our police and fire departments to ask how can we do more with less — that’s the attitude we need. Not let’s spend it because we can. That attitude needs to end. We need to straighten this mess out and it starts locally. My name is Ed Martinez. What a mystery. First the police do not have enough money to protect and serve the community. A month later they have money coming out of their ears. Wagner has a lot of explaining to do. But police like to do the interrogating, and arrogance and threatening behavior are their most effective tools. This is Joe. I am confused. Just a few weeks ago, the police were threatening to cut services if they didn’t get additional funding. Now it is revealed that they have money to go on a spending spree. Please explain. This is Peg from North Conway and in answer to your question: absolutely, positively not. Just because I have some money left in the bank, does that mean I should go out and spend it? No. Turn it back so you can lower the budget for the town. I am a resident of North Conway and absolutely the police department should not use that money at the end of the year. It’s just being very squandering, the departments that do do that, because they don’t think that they’re going to get it the following year. It’s not right and they should not use that money that is left over to do whatever they want to. In regard to the overspending in the police department, the selectmen and the town of Conway should order the police department to return all that they spent, get that money back into the fund immediately, if not put them up on charges. This is a sad, sad day for Conway residents and taxpayers for them to spend money like that. I believe we should trust the chief of police and the heads of the other departments to deal with the financial allotments that they have. I suspect that if they are spending money that’s left over, they’re buying equipment that they really need that they might not have been able to have budgets approved for previously. If we trust them enough and they’re good enough to be put in a position of responsibility of protecting all of us and coordinating that, then I think we need to trust their judgement on the other issues in terms of whether it’s equipment they really need or not. I think we need to trust their judgement and support them and respect them and all that they do for us. see TELE-TALK page 8

TELE-TALK from page 7

In 1976, Chief Alan McLean and one of the commissioners and two others went to Concord to the Department of Revenue Administration. The question was asked: Who controls the police department budget? Answer: The police commission. And the budget committee goes over the budget at budget time. The police department can spend as they see fit and up to 10 percent over the total budget. Question: Do selectmen and town manager have a say on the budget or operation of the police department? Answer: No. Do they have to go over the spending of the police budget? Answer: No. Only the budget committee has the right to question the police department budget. Selectmen and town manager have no say over the police department. Town hall and the police department are separate entities. So this was done, the police commission took over in the early 70s, because the selectmen and the town manager were interfering with the operation of the police department. They were calling police officers telling them where to go, and what to do. It was not the thing to do and that’s why the police commission came into being. It was voted in by the Legislature and then the town of Conway voted it in. What Chief Wagner said and Lieutenant Chris Perley said is right. Wasteful spending they cannot do, but if it’s something they need and there’s money left over in the budget then they can do whatever they like. If there is money coming back from some insurance policy or something — like $40,000, which I heard — no they can’t spend that. That money’s got to go back to town coffers. I think they should be able to spend all the money they want to. I just wonder if they watched the new Sons of Gun show because they just came out with a gun that would open your door, shoot a bear or whatever. The Conway Police Department didn’t think much about spending all the taxpayers’ money or even giving them back some. Isn’t that what they do in Salem? How many police chiefs have we had in the last 10 years. I mean what is really going on? What happened to this town? Now let’s see if we have this right. First cops threaten the citizens with more crime if their demanding needs aren’t met. Then a week later instead of giving back any money, they gobble and devour all the unspent padded monies from the classic bare-bones budget. Just like our government and its locally controlled school system, they also demonstrate arrogant disregard for the plight of the taxpayer. I definitely believe that they should give the money back to the town. It is not their money to spend. Last I knew the taxpayers funded their salaries and everything else they need to do. Wagner is insane. What makes him believe that he can take that money and spend it however he wants to as long as he doesn’t go over the budget. He wants police officers. He wants all kinds of things. Maybe that money that was left over could have gone to paying for that. Police departments up here are a joke. Your house gets broken into, they can’t even come to investigate. The sheriff’s department spends extra money for workout outfits to get his departments in shape.

Maybe if they stopped going and eating doughnuts and sitting around in their cruisers and talking to each other, maybe they could stay in shape. The money does not belong to them and it should be given back and it’s disgusting that they spent it. Wagner needs to go. Perley needs to go. They need to go to the city where they can do what they want. They’re in the country they need to start acting like they are. They’re a joke, the whole department. A Conway property owner. I have no problem with the police buying the items they need as long as they do stay within their budget. I do think that they should get quality equipment, but I think some of their reasoning behind it sounds ridiculous when they voice that they need quality equipment or they won’t go home at night. I’m sure there’s not one officer that feels safer on patrol because they overspent on a Nikon camera and bought ultrasonic cleaning equipment that’ll probably be pushed to the back of the evidence room in a couple of years and be unused. But other than that I think they do a pretty good job. The police, if they needed this stuff, why didn’t they ask for it at the budget meeting. It’s almost like the Conway PD is stealing from the taxpayers. If they really needed stuff they would have petitioned the town and been above board and said we need these things to run the department. This is a taxpayer in North Conway and I can’t wait to run to the polls in April. First of all Theresa Kennett, she ought to be fired immediately for allowing this activity to go on. And all these people the things that have gone on with the teachers contracts, the police and fire, all I can say is enough is enough. To the taxpayer of Conway, wake up, vote everything down. One would think that in these troubled times that just maybe they might think of saving for a “rainy day” instead of spending every last penny just because it’s there. A little consideration for the taxpayer should be shown, most people are just getting by as it is, and then to learn of the police department doing this is a slap in the face. This has been going on for years in all areas in Conway, state and the country. In years past some thought that if we don’t spend it, we will not get it next year. Now if you have some left over and there is a need, it is cheaper to get it this year before the price goes up next. What the police did was smart and would save us taxpayers in the long term. Tinker from North Conway. Absolutely yes! The police department should spend every bit of the money that they are allocated every year. Any agency who manages their budget so responsibly that they have an excess at the end of the year should be encouraged to purchase infrastructure items, un-budgeted mission enhancement items, and even the occasional “nice-to-have” item. We entrust these public servants with far more responsibility every day. If our selectmen do not feel that the funds are being spent responsibly, then by all means reduce the budget allocation next year. I laughed when I read the misleading headline in The Conway Daily Sun stating that the department chose not to “return the money to taxpayers.” What a naive (or perhaps purposefully deceitful) comment. None of this money would have gone

“back to taxpayers.” It would have gone to the general fund; And that my friends is the place where money is inevitably most expeditiously wasted at every level of government. As soon as money lands in the “general fund” that is when taxpayers can consider it wasted. Chief Wagner and Lt. Perley should have our full support on this matter. I trust their judgment implicitly, and I thank them for their service. Frank in Center Conway. The police should have turned the budget excess back to the taxpayers. Having this spending frenzy at the end of the budget year sends the wrong message to all of our taxpayers who have lost their jobs and to those who are having a hard time paying their bills. This is a good example of public employees who consider themselves a privileged and entitled class at the expense of the overtaxed majority. The Conway police are highly paid, get substantial raises every year regardless of the economy, have the best health insurance coverage, a great pension plan and a myriad of other benefits that anyone in the private sector would love to have. Unfortunately, every year they request more and more money with threats of cutting back service and the police commissioners, who are their puppets, give them what they want. This attitude is rampant around our country and it has left most states with severe budget deficits caused by weak union negotiations and over-generous benefit packages. Ask your state representatives how much the taxpayers are contributing to police pensions and at what age they can retire. You will be appalled and will wonder how we ever got to this point. We are broke and it’s time to say no to our out-of-control budgets. The chief made an error in judgment by spending the money and could have gotten some good PR by returning it to the taxpayers, but unfortunately, that’s not the government way. Chief Wagner asks “how much does the town expect back?” Taxpayers answer “return all the unspent budget money. Don’t waste money on a spending spree.” Was the ultra sonic gun cleaning machine really necessary? Use Hoppies gun cleaner. $5,779 for Pelican flashlights --the top light online LED Tacticial is $128. That’s 45 lights!$3,690 for a digital camera — pretty pricey considering the economic crisis most local taxpayers are experiencing. The attitude of Chief Wagner and Lt. Perley is that they can blow the budget on expensive equipment. The police commission must rein in this wasteful spending. Barbara, Center Conway. No. Only the police should be allowed to. And, other departments should give left over money to the police, as well. If the money goes back into the town coffers it is certain to be spent frivolously. The police need all the tools they can possibly get to defend and protect themselves, as well as the citizens. Think about this. There’s a shooting in Tuscon. Obama flies to the memorial service. The liberal media goes into an obscene feeding frenzy fed by Democrat politicians. In the mean time, 14 cops are killed in January alone. A man charges into a Detroit police station and shoots four cops. The White House and media response? Cue the crickets ... chirp ... chirp ... chirp. This is Ralph in Eaton.

Maybe in this instance the police were being responsible; that is, they waited until the end of the year to see if they could afford some new equipment, and if so, they stayed within their budget to purchase it. If it was equipment they absolutely needed and not a case of, “Hey, we got an extra 40 grand, what can we buy with it?” then I would say it is acceptable. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt, however, generally, I think every department, police and others, should return all surplus funds back to the taxpayers. This spend-thrift, consumer-oriented, debt-ridden, buynow-pay-later country we now live in, and it’s extraordinary tax burdens are killing the taxpayers; and the country as a whole. It has to change! There are too many people who have forgotten the taxpayer. I find it appalling when a smart, fiscally conservative, stand up guy comes along like Marvel or Shakir, or some of the Republican politicians, and challenge the taxand-spend community, that they get crucified by the “opposition” as if they were criminals. I would remind anybody, be it the school system, the town departments, local, state or federal governments, who in any way shape or form has anything to do with taxpayer money, to remember where that money comes from and who it is they are working for! The following responses were posted on Facebook: If they have been frugal and watched their budget, yes — only if it is on something that the department needs, not on a wishy-washy want, and only if they didn’t let something else suffer in order to have money left over to purchase this want. No, they should not be allowed to do that. Like we’re gonna have any money by the end of the year to spend. If we did it should go into the next year so we don’t drown. Hey, they’ve stayed within their budget, so why not? If they’re forced to return what’s “left over” third week of December then they’ll just keep an eye on the balance, and spend it in November. It’s their budget to spend as they feel fit. Nope, they should roll it over for the next year. Sure, with the understanding that next year’s budget will be reduced by double the excess. While they may think it’s theirs to spend, it’s our money! Absolutely not. It should go back to the taxpayers. The trouble is, if the department returns the money, then their budget will automatically be reduced by that amount next year, yet their vehicles, etc. will be that much older and more worn next year. The money left over should be put into a rainy-day fund to be used for equipment upkeep/ upgrades, or maybe for that new position everyone seems so eager to add to the department. I think they should be able to buy what they need. If they wait till the end of the year to spend it or in the beginning, then what’s the difference. At least they waited to see if they could purchase these items instead of going over their budget. see next page

Facts don’t support outcome of ‘lawsuit scare card’ To the editor: This is a second continuation of my response to Ray O’Brien’s Feb. 9 letter demanding that the town accommodate the Veilleuxs by removing the “summer road” designation from a part of the unimproved southernmost section of Lead Mine Road in Madison. As Ray played the “lawsuit scare card” in making his pitch, this time my focus will be on that issue. Ray would have us believe that if we don’t vote to lift the summer designation from this section of road, the Veilleuxs will take the matter to court and win, costing us a bundle. The facts don’t support any such outcome. The law is well settled that someone who chooses to live year-round on a designated summer road cannot force a town to lift the designation. In Rancoles v. Stewartstown (1985), the plaintiff established a year-round residency in what had been a summer camp on a summer road, then brought suit to force the town to provide year-round road maintenance. The court found for the town, saying, “…it would be improper to allow one family to change the status of a road merely by deciding to live there year-round.” Subsequently this ruling was codified in RSA 231:81, where it says, “The designation of a highway to summer cottages shall not be deemed altered by any change of use of land served by said highway…” This RSA makes it clear that changes to summer road designations are at the sole discretion of the selectmen in a formal layout process or the town meeting in a voting process. Accordingly, if the town meeting refuses to vote for a change in the designation and the selectmen refuse to change it by layout, the matter is settled and there are no grounds for a lawsuit. Any lawsuit filed in these circumstances would be blatantly frivolous and subject to immediate dismissal with the plaintiff paying the defendant’s costs. See RSA 507:15. Although not mentioned in Ray’s letter, yet another phony “lawsuit scare card” is played in the “talking points” from preceding page

Yes. It’s the department’s money; let them get what they need. I think it is irresponsible for them to have a shopping spree at the end of the year, just because there is money left over. The town should review how budget figures are created. If the department does not use all of the money budgeted on a line item, they should not have to reduce that line item on the budget for the next fiscal year. Maybe the departments should get a bonus if there is a surplus at the end of the year. Also transferring leftovers to the general fund is no better. It should reduce the monies needed for the department for the next year. I am sure that town hall has no problem spending money from the general fund — they think it is just a free-for-all bonus. They can spend as they see fit. Each year is different, sometimes the department will have zero leftover because of maintenance or unseen costs. And other years, they may have a plus on their budget, and that happens to be this year. I think if they put the leftover budget money in a “rainy-day fund” it would be great, but I don’t think they can do that. I think the allotted budget money has to

used by the Veilleuxs to recruit support. Posing as victims, they are claiming that at the time of the town’s vote in 2007 confirming the longstanding summer road designation for this road, there was an “active building permit” on the property that they bought later that year. They further suggest that sinister unnamed parties promoted the vote for the vile purpose of subverting that permit. This, we are to suppose, provides a basis to sue the town for acting in bad faith. Unfortunately for the Veilleuxs, truth gets in the way of this scare tactic. The previous owner of their property did indeed have a building permit at the time of the vote, but it was merely to renovate the rustic camp that was already sitting on the property. Dated March 24, 2006, this permit was for only $2,000 of improvements to be done by the owner on a seasonal camp without water, electricity, insulation, plumbing, or heating. Its only toilet facility was to be an outhouse. Clearly, this was no yearround home, nor did its owner intend it as such. The Veilleuxs renewed this camp remodeling permit in September of 2008, then obtained a permit for their new year-round home in July 2009. From this it is clear that there was no inconsistency between the permit and the vote in March 2007, hence no permit was subverted by that vote, intentionally or otherwise, and no permit for a year-round home was sought or granted until long after that vote. Claims of bad faith are therefore being made in bad faith and provide absolutely no grounds for a lawsuit. The consequences of a frivolous lawsuit have already been mentioned. This makes it clear that when voters decide this question at Town Meeting on March 12, they can ignore the contemptible fear-mongering and focus on the verifiable facts that argue conclusively against any change in the designation of this road. Robert D. King Madison be spent, not saved. If it (can) be rolled over, why spend it wastefully? Know what you need and save for it. Like the rest of us. I’m sorry, the money belongs to the taxpayers. If they budget properly, they plan ahead for capital expenditures for flashlights and cameras and bicycles and all. This shouldn’t be like Christmas morning. Note that they have been complaining about needing more money and more officers and have threatened to selectively enforce the laws due to fiscal constraints. I’d like to see an independent audit. The remarks published in the paper seemed cavalier at best, arrogant and obnoxious at worst. The town deserves better. Hey look, the police put their lives on the line every second of every day to protect the good people of this community from the undesirable element that live among us. They do an amazing job with the equipment they have and the amount of officers that the budget allows. Now with the population increasing and the equipment depreciating, we should be thankful that they have been able to stay within that budget. We should trust in their decision-making. Thanks for all you do.

celed for what would have been the first day back from February vacation week for SAU 9 and SAD 72 in Fryeburg, Maine. Monday’s cancellation was the fourth snow day so far this year for SAU 9, but superintendent Carl Nelson said Monday that at least one of the days will be taken back by scheduling school for April 12, a day that originally had been planned for a teacher workshop day. “I got the approval from the SAU 9 board and the unions last week to get one back by making the April 12 workshop a school day for the kids. We will schedule the workshop for the end of the year,” said Nelson Monday. He said the district averages “four or five snow days” a year. Dispatchers for Conway Police and State Police Troop E in Tamworth both reported a quiet day on local roads, with people appearing to stay home due to the weather and the school cancellations. Local U.S. Weather Service cooperative weather observer Ed Bergeron of Conway said 28 inches of snow had fallen for February prior to Monday’s storm, with another 3.5 inches as of 1 p.m. Monday. The average snowfall for February is 17 inches. According to Bergeron, year-to-date

snowfall as of Friday was 62.3 inches, which puts the region “pretty much on target,” he said. The weather service’s snowfall season average from 1974 to 2001 is 85 inches with March usually recording an average total of 16.9 inches. Monday’s 3 to 5 inches will be recorded as part of March’s total, said Bergeron. “So we’re at 65.5 with today’s so far,” said Bergeron. Bergeron said the snow year started slowly, with 1.7 inches in November compared to the average of 4.5, and 7.7 falling for December compared to the average total of 18.1. January continued the drought early on, but a Jan. 12 storm brought 11 inches, which was the biggest snowfall since Jan. 28, 2009, according to Caleb Boulter’s local web page, www.northconwayweather.com. January ended with 24.9 inches compared to the average of 23.6 inches, Bergeron reported. Monday’s 4 inches of snow and sleet came just weeks before the official start of spring, which is due to arrive March 20. With spring on everyone’s minds, some readers are seeing a practical side to the prospects for continued snow. Said reader Brian Savary on the Sun’s Facebook page, “Spring with just enough snow to freeze the black flies works for me.”

Buyer of Gorham mill plans major investment in facility GORHAM – The head of Gorham Paper LLC said his company not only has an agreement to purchase the paper mill at Cascade but also plans to invest millions in the facility. After weeks of rumors, an announcement was released Friday that the newly formed company, owned by a group of private investors from Cate Street Capital, has an agreement with Counsel RB Capital LLC to purchase the mill. John Halle, president of Cate Street Capital said the new owners are looking at a total investment of $60 million, including $25 million for a tissue machine. He hopes to close on the purchase by early April and reopen the mill immediately. The mill has been closed since November with most of its 240 employees laid off. Halle said he plans to rehire the laid-off papermakers. Based in Portsmouth, Cate Street Capital is a private equity firm that has raised over $6 billion to finance more than 40 projects in the last 15 years. The firm specializes in renewable energy and green technology projects. Halle said his firm was asked by local and state leaders to look at the Gorham mill because of its investment in Laid-

“Whatever went on inside, it went really fast,” said Bill Altenburg, a neighbor who saw the fire out his window when the first fire trucks arrived. The first report of the fire came in at 12:50 p.m. “It was down by 1:30,” Altenburg said. “The snow was a big factor in how they had to fight it,” Altenburg said. There were several feet of snow on

After meeting with Blevins, Halle said he decided to take a serious look at the plant. Over the next few months, Cate Street Capital conducted extensive due diligence, visiting the mill and hiring paper industry experts to advise them. Both U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen and Gov. John Lynch met with Halle and pledged their support. Blevins agreed to remain as plant manager and delay his planned retirement for two years. A press release announcing the agreement said Gorham Paper believes it has put together a strategy to position the mill for long-term success and growth. Asked about the number of companies that have looked at the facility and ultimately backed away, Shaheen said she believes Cate Street Capital has the means and expertise to carry out its plans for the facility. She said the firm was very methodical and in depth in conducting its due diligence – more so she said then the other firms that announced plans or purchased the mill since the bankruptcy court put it on the market.

Plow trucks cleared snow to give the firefighters better access, he said. “Whoever plans and organizes these things did an excellent job,” he said. “I can’t say enough about the quality of the response.” Rick Luciano, who owns Merlino’s Restaurant in North Conway, said the residents were not hurt, but they went to the hospital to get checked out.

Kennett hosts Saints tonight

Frase 33 away from 1,000 BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — The Kennett High girls basketball team will face a familiar for in the opening round of the Division II playoffs which tip-off tonight. The third seeded Eagles, who are the defending state champs, will welcome No. 14 ranked St. Thomas to the Nest for the preliminary round game at 7 p.m. “There were kind of bunch of upsets Thursday night,” Peter Ames, Eagles’ head coach, said. “St. Thomas beat Oyster River and instead of them finishing 15th they moved up to 14th. Portsmouth lost to Windham and Coe-Brown beat Hanover.” Kennett, 17-1 in Division II play and 20-1 overall, defeated St. Thomas (8-10) twice during the regular season this winter. The Eagles, without Melissa Frase, topped St. Thomas 44-27 at home on Dec. 17. Kennett was at full-strength for the return engagement in Dover on Jan. 28 and came away with a 52-27 victory. “I don’t know if it’s an advantage one way or another playing them again,” Ames said. “If we play well, we should beat them. You’ve got to beat everyone eventually to win it all. It’ll be nice to be at home for two games, hopefully.” The Saints, who were the lone blemish on the Eagles’ record last year, won both meetings between the two schools last season. St. Thomas, who is 5-5 in its last 10 contests, scored its biggest win of the season Thursday when it stunned Oyster River (13-5) 41-21 in Dover. Oyster River had won the previous meeting on its home court 52-30. Oyster River has secured the sixth seed and could be Kennett’s quarterfinal opponent on Friday if the Eagles top St. Thomas. Oyster River will play Hanover (11-7) in the first round. Souhegan (18-0) is the top seed for the 16-team tournament while Lebanon, 17-1; Kennett, 17-1; and Merrimack Valley, 16-2 round out the top four seeds. Lebanon edges out Kennett for the No. 2 seed by virtue of having faced more tournament-bound teams this season. It could be a special tournament run as a milestone is within reach for Frase. The All State guard is 33 points away from becoming just the 11th Eagles to reach the 1,000 career point milestone. Frase, who missed the first 11 games this seasons while recovering from knee surgery, has scored 171 points since her return in 10 contests. “Obviously, we’d like to see her get it and it would be great if happened at home,” Ames said. see EAGLES page 16

Raiders win the State Nordic crown FRYEBURG — The Fryeburg Academy boys cross country ski team went into this year with two specific goals for the end of the season: Place three racers in the top five at the state championship meet and win the state championship meet. Thursday the Raiders accomplished both of those goals. The last time the boys won just the Nordic was 1989 — they also won the combined that year, too. Fryeburg first needed to simply get to the Class A Meet which was held in Maine’s famously vast Aroostook County. It took the team seven hours to reach Presque Isle where it stayed and raced over the three day meet. Though a long drive the ski conditions were ideal at the Nordic Heri-

tage Center, the site of the cross country races. Just a few weeks ago this same venue welcomed the best biathlon skiers in the world when it held its second World Cup biathlon race. “Though the conditions were beautiful for the State Meet the courses were very challenging featuring technical downhills and long uphills with few breaks,” John Weston, Raiders’ head ski coach, said. “The courses were the same ones used for the World Cup races which are designed to test the best athletes in the world so they are certainly a challenge for any high school racer.” The first day of racing was a 5K skate race featuring a steep and twisting downhill section referred to as the corkscrew.

The Fryeburg boys entered the season knowing they would have three of the top racers in the state: Senior Seth Eastman, brother sophomore Silas Eastman, and junior Paul Kurnick. However, it takes four skiers to complete a team. The responsibility of being the fourth racer would fall onto second year skier junior Adam Armington. As with any sports season there are multiple story lines and for the boys the biggest all year was the one/ two punch of brothers Seth and Silas Eastman. Older brother Seth, who is larger framed and powerful, was the original top level skier in the family, highlighted by last year’s second place finish in the State skate race.

The Eagles will host No. 6 HollisBrookline (11-6) at the Ham Ice Arena on Saturday at 7:45 p.m. Kennett defeated the Cavaliers 3-2 in Hollis-Brookline in the lone meeting of the season between the two teams on Feb. 18. “They’ll be a tough opponent,” Lane said. “We had a lot of penalties against them in that first game. We played so much of the time shorthanded it’s really difficult to get a read on them other than they’re a hard-working, gritty team.” It was a penalty-filled game with

Kennett getting saddled with 14 penalties forcing it to skate shorthanded for 22 of 45 minutes. Logan Spoor netted the game-winner for the Eagles with just 10 seconds to play. KHS clinched the No. 3 seed with three wins in four days last week. The Eagles defeated Pelham-Windham 4-1 on the road Wednesday; on Thursday, cruised past Manchester West 9-1 at the Ham; and wrapped up the regular season Saturday night with a 4-1 win over ConVal, also at Ham Arena.

Eagles earn third seed; Murphy scores 100th point BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — After opening the season 0-2, the Kennett High ice hockey team proudly demonstrated its championship metal by going 13-1-1 in its next 15 games — good enough to secure the No. 3 seed for the Division III playoffs which begin this Saturday. “I think we’re all real happy with the way the season turned out, especially after the 0-2 start,” Michael Lane, Eagles’ head coach, said. “To be able to bounce back and get a home game speaks volumes about this group.”

Kennett took care of business on Thursday, which was Senior Night for team captains Sam Meader, Frase and Allie Wagner. The trio received a lengthy standing ovation when they presented flowers to their parents. “We had a great crowd,” Ames said. “I think everyone appreciates what Allie, Sam and Melissa have meant to our program and this community.” The Eagles jumped out to a 26-10 lead in the first quarter behind a 15-point effort in the period from Frase, who didn’t miss a shot in the first half where she scored 22 points. Fellow All State guard Allie Wagner, who was held to just three points in the first quarter, netted 10 in the second frame to lift the Eagles to a 43-19 advantage at the half. Allie Wagner led all scorers on the night with a game-high 28 points. Frase added 27 along with nine assists; Lauren Kidder, seven; Jesse Wagner, four; Kaitlin Taylor, four; Casey Blakely, two; Meader, two; and Kendra Strong, one. The Division II playoffs will begin today with the preliminary round game at the the home of the higher seed at 7 p.m. KHS from page 14

Highlighting the three-games was junior Kevin Murphy, who joined the elusive 100-point club for Kennett High. The talented forward scored three goals in the Manchester West contest to reach the century mark. Murphy, who added a point to his growing total Saturday, is just the fourth Eagle to score 100 points, joining Michael Skelton and Taylor Cyr and Griffin Meador. “It’s a nice accomplishment for Kevin and it was great to see him reach the milestone at home,” Lane said. “For him to do it as a junior it says a lot about what he’s meant for our program.” In his freshman year, Murphy had 10 points (three goals and seven assists). As a sophomore, he had 46 points (26 goals and 20 assists). This season, he’s collected 45 points (23 goals and 22 assists). Lane said the Eagles didn’t play their best game at Pelham-Windham but still came away victorious.

Anthony LaRusso made it 2-0 in the second period when he scored in his third straight game. After Pelham-Windham pulled a goal back with six minutes left in the second period, Cody Richard restored Kennett’s two goal cushion. Chuckie Smith closed out the scoring with five minutes to play when he went five-hole with a nice backhanded effort. Jonny Parkhurst picked up the win between the pipes for the Eagles, recording 29 saves. “Jonny made some real key saves particularly when Pelham-Windham had a five on three advantage,” Lane said. “He’s’ been so solid for us all season.” Thursday’s win was marred by the loss of LaRusso see KHS page 18

RAIDERS from page 14

Younger brother Silas, who is a trim endurance machine, ran his way into the family spotlight this past fall when he won the state cross country running title and started the this years ski season by beating Seth. That changed in the teams conference championship skate race when Seth regained the family crown by winning the race. This would all set the stage for very exciting racing in Presque Isle. As the afternoon skate race quickly progressed Silas would be the first brother to pass the coaches split check, a little over 2K into the race. “Silas was in first place at the split,” Weston recalled. “About a minute later Seth tripped the clock but was almost eight seconds behind his brother. I told Seth the gap and somewhat figured he would settle into the runner-up position as eight seconds is a tough gap to close with nearly half the race gone. However, Seth was there to win and as soon as I told him he was eight behind Silas his pace quickened and his determination was clear. At the next split, at about 3.5k, the gap had closed to just a few seconds and it appeared as though it might be too close to call at the finish. It nearly was.” When the final results were posted there was a buzz around as racers and spectators from other schools were heard saying, “Did you see how the Eastman’s finished?” “The best news was that the brothers had won both the State Championship and State Runnerup titles, each besting the rest of the field by almost 30 seconds,” Weston said. “However, the real story was that Silas had held off Seth’s surge, beating him by only three tenths of a second. It was a bittersweet moment for Seth as he had to juggle being proud of his younger brother, whom he helped train, and that split second difference. People weren’t talking about them as individuals so much as they were as brothers and how the two were in a league of their own. It is a pretty neat story. For Seth to make up that time really shows his talent and determination.” The bigger picture was still the teams results. Kurnick had an All-State finish in eighth place and the ever-important fourth team skier was Armington in 24th giving the boys 35 points and the lead over Oxford Hills with 43 and perennial powerhouse Mt. Blue with 45. “Adam had a big race and finished where we needed him to,” Weston said. “Freshman Dacota Griffin was impressive finishing 34th in his first State Meet and junior Peter Caffrey was just behind in 36th. “We had the lead but it wasn’t by much,” he continued. “We only raced against Oxford Hills and Mt. Blue once this year and we comfortably beat them both in that race; I was a little concerned when they finished so well in the skate. I later found out Oxford Hills was missing two of their top four skiers from that earlier meet. I wasn’t sure what to expect for the classic race.” Throughout the season Fryeburg had shown to be stronger in classic but with so many unknowns the FA boys still needed big races, especially entering the last race with a target on their back as the team to beat. The classic course was completely different and presented new challenges. The course started at nearly the high point and just after the 1k mark you are at the low point. The drama of the East-

man boys was tempered for the classic race as Silas has owned classic racing all season. This was highlighted when he won the Sassi Memorial, the biggest high school classic race in the state of Maine. Classic was also the stronger technique for Kurnick, Armington and first-year skier Logan Gerchman who would replace Griffin for this race. With all the uncertainty going into the race any questions were quickly answered. The wax stayed on their skis as the FA boys convincingly won the race by 16 points and the Class A Nordic State Title. “Silas made winning look easy as he doubled as state champion,” Weston said. “The only negative from Silas’s race is that he started directly behind another top classic racer, Connor Regan, from Greely, the only boy to beat Silas in a classic race all season. Normally this would be a positive but Silas caught and passed Connor which then allowed Connor to draft and pace off the faster skier for the remainder of the race. “This certainly helped him take the runner-up position away from Seth (by a mere two tenths of a second),” he continued. “Seth would be third and just behind him was Paul Kurnick in an impressive 4th place finish. Paul’s got a ton of talent and is a natural skier and has a lot to look forward to for his senior year. “Adam Armington had the race of his season coming in 15th and completing the team scoring. Adam had a lot of pressure on him. He knew that he was the real key to the teams success. He took on that pressure and turned in a big race. Not to be over looked, Logan was not far behind in 20th and Peter in 29th. I’m proud of all these boys. These were very tough courses and they proved they were the best skiers. They worked hard all season and deserved the reward.” That reward would come in style as later that night, as the team finally made it back to their side of the state; the team bus was escorted through the streets of Fryeburg by the town police and fire department. The escort ended at the main building of the Academy where the boys rung the centuries old school bell, a school tradition after an important team victory. The girls team went into the race shorthanded by an unfortunate late season concussion by No. 2 skier Hannah Plowden. Regardless the girls were led by four-year veteran and captain Aslyn Dindorf, an extremely dedicated and hard working student/athlete, had two top 15 finishes with a 13th in the skate and 14th in the classic. “Aslyn is a true role model and leader and we’ll all miss her,” Weston said. “Sophomore Emily Powers was 43rd and 37th. Freshman Amber Dindorf was 37th and 35th.

for the remainder of the season when he suffered a broken hand. He joins fellow talented sophomore Connor Todd, who also broke his hand earlier in the month, on the shelf. “We can’t catch a break,” Lane said, following the Manchester West game. “I’m at a loss for words. It’s so unfortunate because Anthony has been playing so well. … We keep trying to patch holes, hopefully this doesn’t catch up with us.” The Eagles got on the board first when Brad Canavari snapped a wrist shot by the West goalkeeper at the five minute mark. Chris King had an assist on the play. Dillon Smith made it 2-0 seconds later off a feed from Chuckie, his brother. The Eagles extended the lead to 3-0 when Gabe Lee put home a pass from LaRusso. West scored late in the first period tot pull within 3-1. The Eagles built the lead to 4-1 when Murphy finished off a Dillon Smith pass. Chuckie Smith also assisted on the play. Dan Rivera made it 5-1 a minute later off a feed from Lee and Dillon Smith. • Mount & Balance

King found the net on the power-play with a backhanded shot to build the lead to 6-1. Murphy made it 7-1 off a feed from Dillon Smith and Spoor. In the third, Richard tipped home a shot from Rivera to make it 8-1, Nick Massa picked up an assist on the play as well. Murphy closed out the scoring with just over eight minutes to play, knocking in a rebound of a Spoor shot for his 100th career point. John Bishop got the win in net making 11 saves. The Eagles closed out the regular season Saturday with Senior Night against ConVal. Prior to faceoff the Eagles recognized seniors, Chuckie Smith, Spoor, Nick Kevlin and Parkhurst. “The score could have been a lot worse,” Lane said. “Their goalie made 54 saves (KHS outshot ConVal 58-12) and deserves a lot of credit, he played great and made some spectacular saves.” Chuckie Smith put the Eagles in front from Murphy and Dillon Smith with five minutes left in the first period. The Cougars knotted the contest three minutes later only to see Dan Rivera score what proved to be the game-winner 45 seconds later. Assists went to Justin Munck and Richard. KHS outshot ConVal 24-2 in the period. With three minutes left in the second period, Spoor lit the lamp when he uncorked a slap-shot from the point. Dillon smith assisted on the goal. Massa closed out the scoring on the night late in the third period off a feed from Munck. Kevlin had seven saves in opening half of the game and Parkhurst followed with five. In first round action Saturday: No.1 Somersworth hosts No. 8 John Stark; No. 4 Belmont-Gilford hosts No. 5 Pelham-Windham; No. 2 Alvirne hosts No. 7 Kearsarge; and No. 3 Kennett hosts No. 6 HollisBrookline. The semifinals are scheduled for Wednesday, March 9 at the Everett Arena in Concord at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. Kennett would play in the 5:30 p.m. contest provided it wins.

Eaton Town Column

Nancy Williams 447-5635

Say goodbye to Phil Kelly March 13 Goodbye, Phil. For the last five years Phil Kelly has been toiling away at the Eaton Village Store, creating fabulous breakfast repasts and fantastic luncheon delights. He works tirelessly, from very early in the morning (4:30 a.m.) until often late at night (8 or 9 p.m.). Ordering, preparation, soup making, chopping vegetables, checking all the store items, the list continues on and on. Now this is seven days a week, 364 days of the year, open part of Thanksgiving and part of Christmas. Is he crazy? Well, I guess in a way, but he is like the Energizer Bunny. He just keeps going on and on and on. We will miss his cooking, baking (cookies, pastries), soups, and his ever quick wit behind the counter. Phil knows everybody and he has a story to tell about everything. Ask him about all the bones he has broken or how he got shot or how he went traipsing through Ireland going from pub to pub. The list is endless and he has regaled all of us for so long. We will miss you, Phil, and even though you’re not moving away, it just won’t be quite the same without you. We love you and wish you the very best of everything. Everyone is invited to Phil’s SendOff Party on Sunday, March 13, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Stone Mountain Arts Center. This is a celebration for all the workers who have been helping Phil out over the years: Jennifer Kelly, Peter Case, Terry Head, Maggie Flynn, Caitlin Flynn, Sarah Mohla (and a couple of her sisters), Amy Blackburn, Judy Fowler, Pam Richardson, Denise Adam, Kenny Wenzel, Henney Sullivan, Nicky Sullivan, John Colcord, and myself. (Please forgive me if I forgot anyone. Let me know.) Come along with a good story or memories of your own about Phil, add some photos to the board which Edith Dashnau is organizing, fill up

on free pizza and salad with a cash bar. Carol Noonan and Jeff Flagg have graciously donated the space at Stone Mountain Arts Center in honor of Phil. Over the years, Carol has sent the musicians from Stone Mountain Arts Center to Eaton Village Store for breakfast and/or lunch, thus being entertained themselves by Phil and the gang. Everybody is welcome and we hope to have a great turn-out. For more information, contact Jen Kovach at 447-2676 or Sandy Thoms at 447-3417. This should be the party of the year. Willie Hatch and Kristen Burnell are so excited about taking over the legacy of the Eaton Village Store. When you get a chance, please stop by and meet them. They are “wicked nice” and have two children, Karli and Chester. Some of you have already met Karli and Kristen helping out in the post office. Just be patient and give them room to get used to the busy place that is the heart and soul of our town. By the time you read this, Phil will have finished his last day and the new proprietors will be in place. They are feverishly working on getting all the licenses they need to run Eaton Village Store properly. Welcome them warmly and wish them luck. Save this date. Come join us for the opening of Don Gemmecke’s Photography Exhibit at the Cook Memorial Library in Tamworth Village on Friday, March 11, from 3 to 5 p.m. Refreshments will be provided. Many of you have seen Don’s beautiful photos hanging in Phil’s Function Room at Eaton Village Store. He is so talented and his pictures are breathtaking. His exhibit will be on display through the end of April and it has lots of Eaton scenes. For more information call 447-2410. Tuesday, March 8, is voting day and town meeting day. Polls open at 11 a.m.

and close at 6 p.m. Before or after you vote, you may purchase some excellent goodies provided by Eaton bakers for your convenience. Calling all Eaton bakers to make your delicious creations: cakes, cookies, pies, coffee cakes (yes, Sunni, I want one too, thanks), brownies, lemon squares, breads or whatever you can come up with. (Proceeds to the Eaton Community Circle Scholarship Fund.) Items should be delivered to the town hall by 11 a.m. Many thanks in advance. The school meeting is March 8, 2011 at 5:00 p.m. and we are asking everyone to attend so that we can get a new school bus, which we desperately need. I gave you the facts last week, and you can see the chart at Eaton Village Store. We need your votes, and especially those parents who have kids riding the bus. We need you. Town meeting will commence right at 8 p.m. with Moderator Paul Hennigan presiding in a very orderly fashion. This is your time, people, to watch democracy in action. Please attend. “A Better Body” welcomes you to get fit and in shape with Mary Lou Dow. She will help you eat in a healthy way and while you’re getting in good shape, you’ll be having fun, too. Call her soon at 447-1824. Throughout time, wildlife habitat and populations have been affected by changes in the land. On Tuesday, March 8, at 7 p.m. Wendy Scribner, Carroll County Forest Resources Educator for the UNH Cooperative Extension will present New Hampshire’s Wild History&hellip;350 years of NH Wildlife at the Salyards Center for the Arts in Conway. I would love to tell you about the last Opera Dinner at the Inn at Crystal Lake, but I’m running out of space. See you next week.

Public screening of film ‘Bag it’ March 4 The Green Mountain Conservation Group will host a public screening of the popular film “Bag It” on Friday, March 4 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Runnells Hall in Chocorua. The event is free and open to the public and includes a showing of the movie, popcorn and drinks. Green Mountain Conservation Group is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of natural resources in the Ossipee Watershed. Green Mountain Conservation Group works to promote an awareness of and appreciation for clean water and the wise use of shared natural resources across the Watershed, and fosters a commitment to protect them. Green Mountain Conservation Group is hosting “Bag It” to kick off National Groundwater Awareness Week which spotlights one of the world’s most important resources — groundwater. Water quality, air quality, and wildlife are all impacted by plastics. Americans use 60,000 plastic bags every five minutes, disposable bags that they throw away without much thought. But where is “away?” Where do the bags and other plastics end up, and at what cost to the environment, marine life and human health? “Bag It” follows “everyman” Jeb Berrier as he navigates our plastic world. Jeb is not a radical environmentalist, but an average American who decides to take a closer look at our cultural love affair with plastics. Jeb’s journey in this documentary film starts with simple questions: Are plastic bags really necessary? What are plastic bags made from? What happens to plastic bags after they are discarded? What he learns quickly grows far beyond plastic bags. For more information or to reserve a seat, contact (603) 539-1859 or gmcgnh@roadrunner.com. Space is limited.

DILBERT

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis Your relationships are stellar because you never stop working on them. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are being watched and listened to by those who can promote and help you. Consider that everything you say will contribute to other people’s opinion of you. All speaking is public speaking. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People around you will wonder how you are able to understand a situation that has everyone else so baffled. It’s because you are extremely perceptive and adept at reading between the lines. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You know just how to get the most out of the least. And though it’s good to be frugal, it doesn’t have to be dull. You’ll have fun spending your money whether you let go of a dollar or thousands. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re naturally generous, and you are always thinking of what others might need or want. With your loved ones in mind, you’ll make the best decisions for everyone. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have a talent for asking interesting questions. Stay close to your loved ones when you talk to them. Your eyes will inform you better than your ears. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 1). You are more concerned with doing the right thing than with doing the profitable thing. Because of your goodness, you’ll be rich in more ways than one. A special relationship blossoms in April. Remodeling and renovations happen in May. An intellectual award comes in June. You share a special connection with Taurus and Leo people. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 33, 24 and 1.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your decisive action will be required. You’ll take on each issue as it comes to you because you realize that the delayed handling of problems is likely to result in bigger problems. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll complete your responsibilities without much trouble. Note that your good fortune hinges on going above and beyond the call of duty. Can you take things one step further? GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re never bored, as there is always more to learn. Even the people and things that you see in regular daily life will be intriguing as you pursue deeper levels of knowledge. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Just because you haven’t done something before doesn’t mean you’ll be bad at it. There’s a good chance you’ll stumble onto an activity you were always meant to do and succeed on your very first try. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Go on and say hello to the people you want to meet, if for no other reason than it’s just good practice to do so. In time, you’ll overcome fear and will no longer care much about what anyone thinks of you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Someone will offer specific recommendations to help you improve your performance. These comments are meant to be helpful, and if you can hear them as such, you will have an edge in business and in life. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When it comes to your loved ones, you refuse to coast on your past successes. Love can only be felt in the present moment.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Tuesday, March 1, 2011— Page 23

Today is Tuesday, March 1, the 60th day of 2011. There are 305 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 1, 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed an executive order establishing the Peace Corps. On this date: In 1790, President George Washington signed a measure authorizing the first U.S. Census. In 1809, the Illinois Territory came into existence. In 1867, Nebraska became the 37th state. In 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant signed an act creating Yellowstone National Park. In 1931, Memphis, Tenn., held its first Cotton Carnival. In 1932, Charles A. Lindbergh Jr., the 20-month-old son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh, was kidnapped from the family home near Hopewell, N.J. (Remains identified as those of the child were found the following May.) In 1954, Puerto Rican nationalists opened fire from the gallery of the U.S. House of Representatives, wounding five congressmen. In 1971, a bomb went off inside a men’s room at the U.S. Capitol; the radical group Weather Underground claimed responsibility for the pre-dawn blast. In 1981, Irish Republican Army member Bobby Sands began a hunger strike at the Maze Prison in Northern Ireland; he died 65 days later. One year ago: Wartime Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic (RA’-doh-van KA’ra-jich), defending himself against charges of Europe’s worst genocide since the Holocaust, told judges in his slow-moving trial that he was not the barbarian depicted by U.N. prosecutors, but was protecting his people against a fundamentalist Muslim plot. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Robert Clary is 85. Singer Harry Belafonte is 84. Former U.S. Solicitor General Robert H. Bork is 84. Actor Robert Conrad is 76. Rock singer Mike D’Abo (Manfred Mann) is 67. Former Sen. John Breaux, D-La., is 67. Rock singer Roger Daltrey is 67. Actor Dirk Benedict is 66. Actor Alan Thicke is 64. Actor-director Ron Howard is 57. Actress Catherine Bach is 57. Country singer Janis Gill (aka Janis Oliver Cummins) (Sweethearts of the Rodeo) is 57. Actor Tim Daly is 55. Singer-musician Jon Carroll is 54. Rock musician Bill Leen is 49. Actor Maurice Bernard is 48. Actor Russell Wong is 48. Actor John David Cullum is 45. Actor George Eads is 44. Actor Javier Bardem (HAH’-vee-ayr bahr-DEHM’) is 42. Actor Jack Davenport is 38. Rock musician Ryan Peake (Nickelback) is 38. Actor MarkPaul Gosselaar is 37. Actor Jensen Ackles is 33. TV host Donovan Patton is 33. Pop singer Justin Bieber is 17.

Page 26 — THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Tuesday, March 1, 2011

by Abigail Van Buren

READERS RISE UP TO SUPPORT SUBJECT OF COSMETIC MAKEOVER

DEAR ABBY: This is in response to your Jan. 7 column about “Frannie,” whose personal grooming issues may have cost her a promotion at work. The friend who wrote you might suggest that she is making an appointment for both of them at a day spa where trained cosmetologists could “pluck, primp and pretty” them both up with a new look. That way, someone else could actually tell Frannie what to do to improve her appearance, and the friend can feel she has been tactful while still making a difference. It may cost a few dollars, but it could be an effective solution. -- ROWENA IN KANSAS DEAR ROWENA: “Frannie’s Friend” described her as wearing no makeup, sporting a huge unibrow and wearing sandals that expose her hairy feet. I also advised the services of a cosmetologist. However, readers -- some of them males -- vigorously disagree with us. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I’m a male who is put off by women who place too much emphasis on makeup and their “look.” I appreciate women who are real and have enough self-confidence not to get bent out of shape over clothes, hairstyles or, of all things, bushy eyebrows. I would have suggested that Frannie find a job where she’s appreciated for her skills, since it’s obvious to me her current employer places the emphasis on superficiality. I work in aerospace, where we value (and need) smart women who can make things happen. We love women with strength and character, and tend to be suspicious of someone trying to pull off the “Barbie Doll” image. -- MIKE IN EVERETT, WASH. DEAR ABBY: Heaven forbid that women present themselves to the world as they are, rather than hidden behind blushes and eye shadows! Why are we taught to be ashamed of our own faces? As for the overly hairy eyebrows, why should it matter?

The writer mentioned that her friend is in shape and dresses well, so it isn’t as if she strolls into the office looking unkempt. The real issue here is that Frannie’s co-workers judge her on something that has absolutely nothing to do with her work. I applaud Frannie for being confident enough about who she is not to modify herself to meet other people’s shallow standards. Our society has become a vapid, aesthetically demanding place that values appearance over merit. -- CAITLIN IN LOS ANGELES DEAR ABBY: When a woman has excessive facial hair and hair on the toes and feet, it can be a symptom of an endocrine disorder, particularly polycystic ovary disease. Frannie should visit her OB/GYN to make sure she doesn’t have an underlying medical problem. -- PESHTIGO, WIS., READER DEAR ABBY: Frannie does not owe “prettiness” to anyone but herself. If someone is offended by her unibrow or hairy toes, that’s his/her problem, not Frannie’s. Unless Frannie is truly clueless or actually desires hair removal, I don’t think her friend should mention grooming to her. Frannie should be encouraged to find a man who likes her for exactly who she is, and not just if she conforms to society’s often ridiculous standards of beauty. Your response that Frannie “needs” to hear exactly why her appearance fails to attract men perpetuates the shallow belief that women must change themselves in order to be seen as attractive. -- CLAIRE IN MILWAUKEE DEAR ABBY: I would not say one word about the appearance of any person in the workplace. I have worked with women who were drop-dead gorgeous and those who could use a major makeover. Their appearance is none of my business. It’s not relevant in the workplace today -- except, maybe, in cocktail bars and strip joints. -- JIM IN GALVESTON

Pauline Carole Gillchrest Layne

Pauline Carole Gillchrest Layne, 78, of Stow, Maine, passed away Feb. 25, 2011. She was born in South Waterboro, Maine March 14, 1932 to Wendell B. and Ruth E. (Berry) Gillchrest, moving to Stow with her mother and stepfather, Armand Pepin in 1945. She graduated from Fryeburg Academy in 1949. Pauline was more than a mom — she was a best friend and playmate that loved to have her family near her, playing board games, going for rides (moose looking) yard sales, bookstores, watching old movies and most of all holiday get togethers. She instilled in her children the love of reading and her quick wit. Pauline is survived by her brother L.T.C. Armand O. Pepin Jr. (USA/Ret.) and his wife Kathleen, of Columbia, Md.; her five children, who were by her side when she died, Cynthia and her husband, Lawrence W. Butters Jr., of Stow; Lisa Layne, of Stow, Suzanne and her husband, Robert Evans, of Marble, Colo., James W. Layne Jr., of Stow, Sandra and her husband, Nathan Greenleaf, of Fryeburg, Maine; her grandchildren, Stephen J. Hutchins and his family, of Parsonfield, Maine, Emily Micolo Layne, of Stow, and Bowen Greenleaf. A graveside service will be held at a later date at Pine Grove Cemetery South in South Waterboro, Maine. Memorial contributions in Pauline's memory may be made to Harvest Hills Animal Shelter, 1389 Bridgton Road, Route 302, Fryeburg, ME, 04037 or to the Activities Department at Fryeburg Health Care Center, 70 Fairview Drive, Fryeburg, ME, 04037. Arrangements are made with Wood Funeral Home in Fryeburg. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.woodfuneralhome.org.
