Lights at the end of the tunnel?

Voters will be asked to add $8,850 to budget to get streetlights turned back on in commercial areas

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Selectmen approved a plan on Tuesday to turn streetlights on in the town’s commercial districts, but it will have to pass the voters before things get brighter.

Selectmen will ask the voters at the deliberative meeting to increase the budget for streetlights by $8,850, which should allow them to turn on all the decorative lights in North Conway Village, replace the lights along Route 16 between Artist Falls Road and Eastman Road with “cobra-head”

style LED lights, and replace and turn on six lights in Conway Village between West Main Street and the radio station.

The price tag would cover installing those lights that need to be installed and see STREETLIGHTS page 13

Like totally ahead of the linguistic curve

(NY Times) — Whether it be uptalk (pronouncing statements as if they were questions? Like this?), creating slang words or the incessant use of “like� as a conversation filler, vocal trends associated with young women are often seen as markers of immaturity or even stupidity.

But linguists — many of whom once promoted theories consistent with that attitude — now say such thinking is outmoded. Girls and women in their teens and 20s deserve credit for pioneering vocal trends and popular slang, they say, adding that young women use these embellishments in much more sophisticated ways than people tend to realize. “A lot of these really flamboyant things you hear are cute, and girls are supposed to be cute,� said Penny Eckert, a professor of linguistics at Stanford University. “But they’re not just using them because they’re girls. They’re using them to achieve some kind of interactional and stylistic end.�

The latest linguistic curiosity to emerge from the petri dish of girl culture gained a burst of public recognition in December, when researchers from Long Island University published a paper about it in The Journal of Voice.

Syria moves forces around besieged area in Homs

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

BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times)— The Syrian military tightened its deadly vise on a besieged neighborhood of Homs on Wednesday, pounding the area from four sides with mortar and rocket fire, moving new tanks into the vicinity, and raising fears of possible preparations for a ground assault, activists in the city said.

Communication with those in

the Baba Amr neighborhood, the epicenter of a government bombardment that has lasted more than three weeks, was severed for several hours, and there were conflicting reports throughout the day over whether the longexpected assault on the area had already begun.

But a few activists in the city reported that there was no invasion.

Fear of a final assault had been reinforced by the sudden disappearance of checkpoints around the city. But activists later speculated that the checkpoints might have been moved as a precaution when the tanks moved in closer and intensified their fire, said Omar Idlib, a Lebanon-based activist with the Local Coordinating Committees, an opposition group.

North Korea agrees to curb nuclear work

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — North Korea announced on Wednesday that it would suspend nuclear weapons tests and uranium enrichment and allow international inspectors to monitor activities at its main nuclear complex, a step that raised the possibility of ending a diplomatic impasse that has allowed the country’s nuclear program to continue with no international oversight for years.

Although the Obama administration called the steps “important, if limited,� they nonetheless signaled that the country’s new leader, Kim Jongun, is at least willing to engage with the United

States, which pledged in exchange to ship tons of food aid to the isolated, impoverished nation.

The United States and other nations have been watching closely to see whether Kim’s rise to power would alter the country’s behavior following the death of his father, Kim Jong-il, late last year.

North Korea also agreed on a moratorium on launchings of long-range missiles, which have in the past raised military tensions in the region, but joint statements released by the State Department and North Korea’s official news agency omitted direct references to relations with South Korea, which remain tense.

Federal Reserve chairman sees modest growth

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The Federal Reserve chairman, Ben S. Bernanke, said on Wednesday that the Fed retained its modest expectations for the American economy this year, despite some evidence of stronger growth.

Bernanke told the House Committee on Financial Services, that the recent rise in oil prices had not affected the Fed’s view that the economy would expand from 2.2 to 2.7 percent this year, about the same rate as during the second half of last year.

He acknowledged that higher oil prices were “likely to push up inflation temporarily while reducing consumers’ purchasing power.� But the Fed expects the overall pace of increases in prices and wages to remain “subdued,�

Bernanke said.

Some economists see evidence that the pace of growth is increasing. The Bureau of Economic Analysis said Wednesday morning that the economy expanded at an annual rate of 3 percent during the last three months of 2011, somewhat higher than its initial estimate of 2.8 percent.

Technology helps locate missing girls MERRIMACK — Technology is being credited with helping to find two girls reported missing Tuesday in Merrimack.

The two 7-year-old friends were playing in some woods behind a home on Baboosic Lake Road when one of their fathers noticed they were nowhere in sight.

“We were incredibly, incredibly nervous,” said Kevin Cotreau, father of one of the girls. “I hollered out for them, and they didn’t answer.”

Cotreau said he could see them going in and out of the woods, but then when they didn’t show up after about 10 minutes, he did a quick check of the woods and failed to find them. He then called police.

“There was maybe one-10th of 1 percent chance that they had been abducted, and if they happened to be in somebody’s car or house, you’ve got more than just one body knocking on doors,” he said.

Merrimack Police Chief Mark Doyle said searchers were concerned because it was starting to get a little bit cooler and nightfall was coming.

Police called the Center for Missing

and Exploited Children, which activated a Nixle alert, which sends out email and text messages to those who have signed up for the service.

Doyle said it didn’t take long to get results.

“We immediately started to get some phone calls back into our communication center advising that those children were seen in a neighborhood adjacent to the neighborhood in which they were last seen,” Doyle said.

The girls were located safe shortly after the alert was sent. Doyle said this was an example of how technology can make a difference.

“It really exponentially increases our police force by a magnitude of thousands, from that many folks that have that information and give us the information that we’re looking for,” he said.

Manchester and Londonderry, in addition to Merrimack, are among the New Hampshire communities that use Nixle alerts.

What was the bright flash in the sky Tuesday night?

MANCHESTER — It was reddishorange and only appeared in the sky for a moment or two, but it has a lot of people in the area asking questions.

Several people in New Hampshire reported seeing a bright object in the sky about 10 p.m. Tuesday.

Witnesses said it was a colored, glowing ball that was bright for few seconds and then vanished.

Melanie Wilson, of Concord, said she was driving home from work on Airport Road when she saw the object above her car. She said the thought it was going to land on the highway, and she slowed down.

But in a flash, it was gone.

“It was scary and neat,” Wilson said.

Sue Morel said she was stopped at

a light in Hollis when she saw the bright, glowing ball. She said she had no idea what it was and watched it for only a second before it disappeared above the tree line.

Tiffany Nardino of the McAuliffeShepard Discovery Center said the explanation is pretty simple. She said it was most likely a fireball, a bright meteor that burned up in the atmosphere.

She said it was probably a piece of rock about the size of a quarter, something that is not very commonly visible.

Nardino said a fireball is like any other meteor except it is generally larger and makes a colored glow when it vanishes.

She said there are usually only one or two in this part of the country each year.

North Conway Library Book Group discussing ‘The Help’ CONWAY — The North Conway Library’s TGIF Book Group will read “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett and discuss it on Friday, March 2, at 10:30 a.m. at the library.

This is an open group. Everyone is welcome, whether or not you are a library member and whether or not you have finished the book.

“The Help,” the blockbuster first novel from Kathryn Stockett, tells the story of a young white woman in Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960s and a group of black maids who work for the families of her friends.

A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don’t. It is a charming, thoughtful novel about women finding their voices, and the truths we see when we have the courage to look unflinchingly into the mirror.

The TGIF Book Group is an open book discussion group that reads both fiction and nonfiction and meets on the first Thursday or Friday of each month at 10:30 a.m. at the library in North Conway Village.

Contact the North Conway Library at 356-2961 for more information or to reserve a copy of “The Help.”

Vote yes on Madison switching to SAU 9 To the editor: The proposal for Madison to switch from SAU 13 to SAU 9 is of great importance to voters throughout the valley. If Madison votes for the plan on election day, the next step will be for every town in SAU 9 to approve the plan by a two-thirds vote next year. Any town can veto it. Hence it is crucial that the issues involved be well understood in all valley towns.

The withdrawal plan can be viewed on the Madison website’s home page (madison-nh.org).

Data gathered from both SAUs indicates that Madison and all towns in SAU 9 will benefit financially and administratively from the change. The only sour note being heard is from those in Madison with a stubbornly parochial (separatist?) perspective.

The towns of Tamworth and Freedom have the option of following in Madison’s footsteps, creating even greater financial and administrative benefits for all towns in both SAUs. If Madison and most SAU 9 towns say yes to the plan, it will open the door to a change in law that will allow the two SAUs to directly negotiate a merger. Such a streamlined procedure would provide a much smoother and quicker pathway for all towns to approve the change.

States all around us are seeking to make administration more efficient in order to spend more of their resources on classroom performance. In line with this, consolidation of administrative units is one of their main strategies. It’s been a successful program.

Arguments were heard at the hearing that a small SAU is better able to serve its small

number of boards, but history shows that it’s SAU 13, not SAU 9 that has experienced repeated periods of substandard service to its boards.

As was pointed out at the hearing, one SAU per school district would provide the greatest possible “local control,” but the worst possible practical results.

History also shows a high state of voter discontent with SAU 13, including repeated rejections of the SAU budget, with no such discontent evident in SAU 9. Last year a management consultant hired by SAU 13 reported that the community had no confidence in its business function.

The consultant’s report can be seen at bit.ly/zfoQ7R .

SAU 13 has also experienced a high rate of turnover among key administrative personnel, along with a demonstrated inability to attract and retain top quality administrators. SAU 9’s history has demonstrated no such problem. Indeed, a prime reason to abandon SAU 13 is that, unlike SAU 9, it is not large enough in student population or in budget to compete for the best administrators. It can reasonably be said that all of SAU 13’s woes have flowed from that one basic reality.

Another key consideration is that the towns in SAU 13 would benefit from being members of the SAU that provides administrative services to their middle school and high school students. By being outside of SAU 9, these towns have no vote in SAU 9 affairs.

Madison voters will be doing themselves and the whole valley a valuable service by voting “yes” to this plan on the school election ballot on March 13.

Thanks to Animal Rescue League of NH — North and South To the editor: I would like to congratulate the board of directors and the hard working staff of the Animal Rescue League of New HampshireNorth for a job well done. 2011 represented a stellar year for the shelter, assisting nearly 1,000 homeless animals in need and achieving financial stability and viability. The board has worked hard over the past few years to find new and creative ways to raise funds while shaving expenses without compromising the welfare of the animals.

I would also like to thank the Animal Rescue

League of New Hampshire-South, which recognized the importance of the work being done in Conway and reached out with a helping hand.

The affiliation between the two organizations is and will continue to be an exemplary model for non-profits in New Hampshire and beyond.

As a former board member, I will continue to support the ARL-North and would encourage the community to do likewise. We are fortunate to live in a community that values the lives of the animals which so enrich our lives.

The Talent Society We’re living in the middle of an amazing era of individualism. A few generations ago, it was considered shameful for people to have children unless they were married.

But as Jason DeParle and Sabrina Tavernise reported in The Times on Saturday, these days, more than half of the births to women under 30 occur outside of marriage.

In 1957, 57 percent of those surveyed said that they believed that adults who preferred to be single were “immoral” or “neurotic.” But today, as Eric Klinenberg reminds us in his book, “Going Solo,” more than 50 percent of adults are single.

Twenty-eight percent of households nationwide consist of just one person. There are more singleperson households than there are married-with-children households.

In cities like Denver, Washington and Atlanta, more than 40 percent of the households are one-person dwellings. In Manhattan, roughly half the households are solos.

A few generations ago, most people affiliated with one of the major parties. But now more people consider themselves independent than either Republican or Democrat. A few generations ago, many people worked for large corporations and were members of a labor union. But now lifetime employment is down and union membership has plummeted.

A few generations ago, teenagers went steady. But over the past decades, the dating relationship has been replaced by a more amorphous hook-up culture. A few generations ago, most people belonged to a major religious denomination.

Today, the fastest-growing religious category is “unaffiliated.”

The trend is pretty clear. Fifty years ago, America was groupy.

People were more likely to be enmeshed in stable, dense and obligatory relationships. They were more defined by permanent social roles: mother, father, deacon. Today, individuals have more freedom.

They move between more diverse, loosely structured and flexible networks of relationships.

People are less likely to be trapped in bad marriages and bad situations. They move from network to network, depending on their individual needs at the moment. At the same time, bonds are probably shallower and more tenuous.

We can all think of reasons for this transformation. Affluence: people have more money to live apart if they want to. Feminism: women have more power to define their own lives. The aging society: more widows and widowers live alone.

The information revolution: the Internet and smartphones make it easier to construct far-flung, flexible networks. Skepticism: more people believe that marriage is not for them.

But if there is one theme that weaves through all the different causes, it is this: The maximization of talent. People want more space to develop their own individual talents. They want more flexibility to explore their own interests and develop their own identities, lifestyles and capacities. They are more impatient with situations that they find stifling.

Many people have argued that these changes have led to a culture of atomization, loneliness and self-absorption. That’s overdrawn.

In “Going Solo,” Klinenberg nicely shows that people who live alone are more likely to visit friends and join social groups. They are more likely to congregate in and create active, dynamic cities.

It’s more accurate to say that we have gone from a society that protected people from their frailties to a society that allows people to maximize their talents.

The old settled social structures were stifling to many creative and dynamic people (and in those days discrimination stifled people even more). But people who were depressed, disorganized and disadvantaged were able to lead lives enmeshed in supportive relationships.

Today, the fast flexible and diverse networks allow the ambitious and the gifted to surf through amazing possibilities. They are able to construct richer, more varied lives. They are able to enjoy interesting information-age workplaces and then go home and find serenity in a one-bedroom apartment.

On the other hand, people who lack social capital are more likely to fall through the cracks. It takes effort, organization and a certain set of skills to surf these new, protean social networks. People who are unable to make the effort or lack social capital are more likely to be alone. As Klinenberg and others have shown, this is especially likely to happen to solitary middle-aged men, who are more likely to lack the drive and the social facilities to go out and make their own friendship circles.

Over all, we’ve made life richer for the people who have the social capital to create their own worlds.

We’ve also made it harder for the people who don’t — especially poorer children.

These trends are not going to reverse themselves. So maybe it’s time to acknowledge a core reality: People with skills can really thrive in this tenuous, networked society.

People without those advantages would probably be better off if we could build new versions of the settled, stable and thick arrangements we’ve left behind.

Cranmore Mountain Meisters

Joe Voci shreds the Mountain Meister course for the Horsefeather’s team Wednesday at Cranmore. Racers that made it to week 7 enjoyed a fast straight course and talk in the race shack fleshed out the fact that the last Meister race day on a leap year day was in 1984 when the course was still on the South Slope.

Week 7: Three top males break 24-second barrier

BY DANBO DOUCET

CRANMORE MOUNTAIN MEISTERS COORDINATOR

CONWAY — After a week off for February school vacation, valley racers returned for Week 7 of the Cranmore Mountain Meister Race Series Feb. 29.

I am not sure what happened but we did not get the usual weekly turnout of over 400 racers this week, maybe it was the threat of bad weather or most likely some of you still had to work because it still was vacation week for others.

Whatever the forecasters predicted they were wrong as usual! The snow did not arrive at noon and managed to hold off all day long. The course was set by Ian Meserve and if you noticed that your times were really fast you can thank him when you see him. You can rest assured that you got your best time of the year yesterday! I am sure that you will see some turns next

week, it sure cannot get any straighter than it was yesterday. And can you believe this we still had some racers miss the finish!

MacDonald top female finisher And now, the results: For the ladies, there was a small change in the lineup. We had Kelli MacDonald on top, followed by Chrissie Estes, and in third for the first time this season was Cathy Fisher — kudos to her!

For the guys, it was Tyler Haynes in first, Skip Bartlett in second and back in the top 3 after last week’s dual falls was Sandy-Bagger Hamlin. We have to mention that four of the guys broke the 24-second barrier, which we do believe is first this season for the Meisters.

We have a pretty good race going for the Team Standings this season! The leader Trail Map Express is only 21 points ahead of the second place team,

the Hodge Podgers, and in third place is last year’s winner the Tuckmeisters.

Less than 100 points separate the top 10 teams and with three weeks still to go this will certainly be a barn burner to the finish. If you are a member of any one of the top 10 teams, know that showing up can make a big difference in the end.

It looks like we finally stopped all the movement in the divisions now.

Today’s fast times might really shake things up again but I think we got it.

But be sure that we are watching and will move you according to our rules of engagement, lol! Remember winning two weeks in a row or beating the division winner ahead of you will result in movement. This will go on for another two weeks before we lock everyone in place for the grand finale.

Next week we are planning to have a Dual Course set up on the Comp slope with dual bumps. This is your

chance to try out a race course with a bump either alone or versus a friend.

Now if you’re lucky the top male and female racers who have never done the Red Parka Challenge will have this chance to qualify for that race to be held March 16 at Attitash. According to our very own DM there will be no charge for this added extra event for you Meisters.

So that’s all we got for Week 7!

Remember we have two more weeks of racing before the Jesse E. Lyman III Memorial Downhill March 21, and we want to remind you all to start saving your contributions now for Week 9 and the Jen’s Friends Run for Cancer March 14.

It’s been a tough year for some of our favorite people in the valley and all your contributions will be appreciated for this great local cause. Remember all our local sponsors and be sure to give them all your valley business!

Bartlett candidates’ forum tonight BARTLETT — The three candidates vying for the seat that is up for grabs on the Bartlett Board of Selectmen will be discussing their positions Thursday night at the Josiah Bartlett Elementary.

The forum, which is at 6:30 p.m., will be a chance for local voters to get to know the three candidates, Erik Corbett, Ed Furlong and incumbent Doug Garland.

“The format for the forum will be

informal,” organizers said in a letter to the candidates, “with questions and comments coming from the audience.”

“This forum is presented so that voters can get to know you and what your thoughts are on local issues,” the letter said.

The snow forecasted could pose an issue, but “The committee is not worried about the weather,” said Lydia Lansing, one of the organizers. “Bartlett residents are tougher than that.”

Voters will be asked for more money for salt, fuel and general assistance

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Selectmen approved three requests by town staff to ask for an increase of the 2012 budget at next week's deliberative meeting — one for salt, one for fuel, and one for the general assistance budget.

The town has already worked its way through most of the $145,000 for salt, town engineer Paul DegliAngeli told the selectmen on Tuesday. "We have $20,000 left in the budget." He asked for a $45,000 increase to cover the rest of this winter and the start of next winter before the 2013 fiscal year begins.

The problem, he said, is the freezing rain, which cost as much in plowing or staffing as snow, but goes through salt.

DegliAngeli also asked for a $20,000 fuel increase to deal with skyrocketing costs.

Town manager Earl Sires then told the selectmen the town welfare STREETLIGHTS from page one

running them for six months. Keeping the lights on for the following year would cost $14,100, according to estimates from the town. The streetlight budget for 2012 is currently $60,000.

The vote was three to one, with selectmen Mary Seavey, Michael DiGregorio and Crow Dickinson all supporting the proposal. Selectman David Weathers, who pushed for turning all the lights back on, voted against it, while selectman Larry Martin, who works for New Hampshire Electric Cooperative, abstained from voting.

Turning on the rest of the streetlights the town shut off more than a year ago would cost tens of thousands of dollars, according to officials. Just reinstalling and turning on the lights operated by Public Service of New Hampshire would cost almost $45,000 for six months and $56,000 for a full year, town manager Earl Sires said, and that doesn’t include the residential areas in North Conway.

Martin wondered aloud at one point how the town got to a place where the selectmen were considering increasing the budget. The conversation started when the Mount Washington Valley Preservation Association brought a proposal to pay for LED lights if the town used the savings to turn on other lights, he said, and “now all of the sudden we’re looking at turning all the lights back on.”

office has continued to see a spike in demand this year, a trend that began in the fall. The town had already bumped the general assistance line from $35,000 to $45,000, but Sires said they would like another $5,000 given the current situation.

Last year the general assistance line was overspent by $10,000, hence the initial increase, he said. General assistance is the money budgeted to help people in need. It does not go toward staffing or other welfare expenses.

Sires also asked for an additional $3,600 for welfare staffing expenses.

The department has trained someone to fill in when the general assistance officer is away, Sires said, and extra money is needed to make sure the department can pay them.

The selectmen approved all three requests, which means they will ask the voters to amend the budget at the town deliberative meeting next Wednesday.

“I have nothing at stake at this because I’m not voting,” he said, but it seems unfair to have residents paying to light the commercial districts.

DiGregorio, who made the proposal for the increase, said the almost $45,000 to turn on the the rest of the PSNH lights was just too much. “I cannot support that kind of money.” “$8,850 solves our problem in one area,” he said.

Joe Quirk, who owns the Majestic Theatre and Conway Cafe, spoke in favor of the proposal. “The villages are the focal point of our community,” he said, something every resident uses, so it would not be unreasonable for residents to support lighting them.

Furthermore, he said, having lights off sends a bad message. He had a customer three days ago who noticed the lights and asked a question: “Is this town closed?”

“These people are our livelihood,” he said. The town can’t send a message it’s not open.

Janice Crawford, from the preservation association, made a similar comment: “At least Motel Six says we’ll keep the light on for you.”

The vote by the selectmen, however, is just to ask the voters at town meeting to amend the budget since it is now too late in the process for the selectmen to amend it themselves.

The voters could reject the request, increase it or decrease it if they so choose.

niscent of Doherty’s other successes this year, including 12th- and 14th-place finishes and a strong relay leg at the Youth Olympic Games.

Also on the men’s side, teammates Sam Dougherty and Nick Proell placed 35th and 40th, after missing two and one shots, respectively. They were separated by just 12 seconds – less than the time it takes to ski a penalty loop – and Dougherty was just 13 seconds from the top 30 and less than a minute from the top 15 going into Sunday’s pursuit.

In the pursuit, Doherty maintained his form to finish 13th out of 60 of the world's best skiers. Dougherty ended up 42nd and Proell was 56th. Doherty finished in

33:10.6 (winning time by Bow was 29:13.6), just 21 seconds out of 10th.

Doherty placed 26th in the first race, which improved on his best result last year at age 15 in this same age group (37th). The United States was hampered by poor shooting, with the best shooter, Dougherty, missing five shots. Plenty of racers struggled on the range – only the winner had a single penalty, and only the runner-up had just two – but the U.S. was left wishing it had shot better.

Doherty missed seven shots and received an additional minute of time for each penalty.

He finished in 46:37.2 due to the seven penalty minutes. Aristide Begue, of France, who was the lone athlete to miss just

one target (no one was perfect), won the competition by 48 seconds in a time of 40:45.8 Doherty won't be home too long, as he's scheduled to head to Soldier Hollow (site of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics in Utah) along with fellow Kennett High junior Hannah Benson for the Junior Nationals which run March 3-10. This is the premier event on the junior cross country competition schedule in the United States for ages 15-20. Roughly 500 athletes from across the country are expected to compete.

The following week, March 17-20, Doherty will pick up his rifle again and head to West Yellowstone, Montana for the U.S. Biathlon Nationals.

LARRY FOX Lovell Public Works Commissioner Dedication & Experience Count Paid for by: Larry Fox, 58 Heald Pond Rd, Lovell ME 04051

CONWAY — Tanner Kennett, the 26-year-old son of police commission chair Theresa Kennett, was fined $500, sentenced to 15 days in jail and given nine months probation on Wednesday after he pleaded guilty to unauthorized used of a propelled vehicle, a class A misdemeanor.

His guilty plea was part of a negotiated arrangement between Kennett’s attorney, Len Harden from Lancaster, and State Police. Judge Pamela Albee suspended Kennett’s jail time pending one year good behavior and dismissed a driving while intoxicated misdemeanor, but Kennett will have to undergo substance abuse counseling. He was also fined $500 after he pleaded guilty to negligent driving, a violation level offense, and ordered to pay $300 restitution to Dennis Egan, the Bartlett man whose truck Kennett took.

Kennett stood throughout the proceeding, welldressed, wearing a tie and dress slacks, seldom speaking except to acknowledge he understood the plea arrangement.

The charges date back to mid-November, shortly after Kennett was robbed at gunpoint in North Conway while he was making a night deposit at T.D. Bank. Michael J. Rehmert Jr., 32, of Fryeburg, was arrested and charged connection with the robbery.

Two weeks later it was Kennett who was under arrest. State Police picked him up in North Conway after he took Egan’s 2010 GMC pickup from Egan’s home in Bartlett. The circumstances surrounding the incident have not been made public, but Kennett wound up facing the two misdemeanors and the violation.

“Good luck getting this behind you, Mr. Kennett,” judge Albee said at the end of the proceeding. She said that hopefully this incident will be a wake-up call to something that could otherwise become a lifelong problem.

“Thank you very much,” Kennett said.

the Youth Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria, in January, and he was the top American finisher in all three events he competed in at the Championships in Finland, which ran Feb. 17-26.

In Innsbruck, Doherty competed in the 15-16 age group. In Finland, he was competing against 17 and 18 year-olds.

Doherty finished 13th in the 7.5 kilometer sprint competition last Friday and then followed that up with another 13th in Sunday's 10K pursuit. On Feb. 20, Doherty finished 26th in the 12.5K individual competition.

Doherty missed a single shot and finished 1:48 behind winner Johannes Thingnes Boe of Norway. Boe, whose older brother Tarjei won the overall World Cup last season, raced to a colossal 50-second victory. Behind him, the field was tightly packed; Doherty was 56 seconds from the podium and eight from the Top 10.

“Great shooting and fast skiing put him in a competitive position for pursuit race,” U.S. coach Algis Shalna said of Doherty’s performance.

“The pursuit will be very challenging for all of them and will require a lot of effort to control the emotions on the range and speed control on the skiing course.”

DR. BRIAN IRWIN

Spinal Stenosis The spinal column is complex system of vertebrae which are stacked on top of each other and extend from the base of the skull to the small of your back. The spinal cord leaves the brain and tunnels through these bones through a central canal. At each spinal level nerve roots exit branch off from the cord itself, exiting through small holes known as the foramen. In some cases the central canal itself, or these foramen, can undergo an abnormal narrowing, which in turn may compress these nerves. This condition is known as spinal stenosis.

Spinal stenosis can occur in any area of the spine, however it is much more common in the lower spine at the level of the lumbar Dr. Brian Irwin vertebrae than in any other area. The cervical spine (neck) is the second most common site of stenosis and the symptoms it causes there are different and more dangerous than stenosis of the lumbar vertebrae. The danger of cervical stenosis lies in the fact that those nerve roots and the cord itself holds fibers that control one’s ability to breathe, walk, move their arms, and essentially function. Conversly, the nerve roots that tend to be compressed in the back are responsible for sensory and motor function of the legs, however rarely does their compression yield paralysis.

The symptoms of spinal stenosis are variable.

Commonly, cramping or shooting pain in the distribution of the compressed nerve is experienced.

Weakness, numbness and problems with balance can develop. Pain and symptoms are often amplified by standing and improved by sitting; this is particularly true for lumbar stenosis.

There are many causes of spinal stenosis. The most common cause is the development of bone spurs or thickening of the ligaments that occurs with age. Likewise, degeneration of the body’s discs can lead to stenosis, a condition that is often genetically linked. Arthritis (both osteo and rheumatoid), tumors and slipped vertebrae can all cause spinal stenosis, as can fractures or trauma.

Spinal stenosis is not an uncommon condition and can typically be diagnosed with x-ray or MRI. Once the diagnosis is made, treatment options can be considered. The first line therapy for spinal stenosis in most cases consists of anti-inflammatory medications and exercise. Weight loss regimens are typically advised, as this has been shown to help symptoms improve. Physical therapy is a critically important modality and should be considered in most patients with spinal stenosis that is refractory to the aforementioned treatments; it’s commonly used in conjunction with them.

If the disease is unresponsive to conservative measures, or if nerve impingement is causing neurologic impairment, more aggressive measures are usually taken. These may include steroid administration, either in the form of oral steroid pills or injectable steroids that can be delivered directly to the area around the foramen. Finally, in severe cases, surgery is an option and can carry a relatively good prognosis in select cases.

Spinal stenosis is a common condition and it’s likely you or someone you know will or does have it. Talk with your PCP today if you have symptoms consistent with this disease so you can get your back on track.

Dr. Brian Irwin is a family physician at Tamworth Family Medicine, a division of Huggins Hospital.

Memorial Hospital launches new appointment reminder and confirmation service March 5 Automated system expected to be more efficient, accurate In the 1870s, two inventors Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell, both independently designed devices that could transmit speech electrically, resulting in the invention of the telephone. Neither inventor could have realized the extent to which the telephone would become prominent in our daily lives.

In August of 2011, Memorial Hospital Memorial Hospital introduced one-stop phone service for outpatient services.

With the system patients only need to call one number — (603) 356-4949 — to schedule new or manage their appointments, request prescription refills, or speak to a staff member.

Memorial is once again tapping into progressive technology by implementing a new call service that will automatically telephone, e-mail or text you to

remind you in advance of your upcoming appointment. The new appointment reminder service is tied into the hospital’s electronic medical record and will allow us to better manage appointments through more accurate confirming and scheduling.

“Two days prior to their scheduled appointment, patients will receive a phone call (or a text or e-mail if they have provided us that information during the registration process) between the hours of 4 and 7 p.m. to remind them of their appointment. If the patient answers the call, they will be able to confirm their appointment while on the phone. This confirmation will be recorded directly into our scheduling system, thereby allowing a more accurate process,” said Steve Wyrsch, chief operating officer. “The caller identification will be from Memorial Hospi-

10 smart ways to control your appetite Trying to lose a few pounds? Who isn’t these days! A large part of eating too much is about our appetite; if we could only get that under control the weight would simply fall off. Here are a few strategies to help you decrease your appetite.

1. Water Can water actually help you stay full? Well, I know after I drink several glasses of water I get filled up and eat less. In fact, some studies support this notion. Water can help you lose weight by keeping you feeling full and helping to reduce your consumption of other high-calorie drinks (and foods). Water also helps to keep your digestive system working well. In fact, a recent study found that over the course of 12 weeks, dieters who drank water before meals three times per day lost about 5 pounds more than other dieters.

Try drinking about two 8-ounce glasses before each meal.

According to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, women should consume 91 ounces of water a day, and men need 125 ounces — a good deal more than the 64 ounces (8 cups) generally recommended. Here’s the catch: We get water from vegetables and fruits. We also get a lot from meat, as well as from liquids such as soup, juice, soda, milk and even coffee. So, while our water intake does need to be fairly high, it’s a safe bet that as long as we’re eating and drinking, it will be as high as it needs to be. Again, for weight loss, stick to the two glasses before each meal.

2. Nuts There are many different types of nuts with a plethora of health benefits. In addition to their other benefits, nuts (almonds, pistachios, walnuts, Brazil nuts, etc.) can help fend off hunger and control appetite. They’re high in fiber and protein both hunger fighters. Just make sure to limit your portions to about 1 ounce, because nuts are high in calories, too.

3. Naturally Occurring Fiber Foods that are naturally high in fiber (e.g., 100 percent whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes) are also high in water content and fill you up because they take up room in your stomach. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that consuming foods with a high water content effectively reduces subsequent calorie intake.

Water, as we’ve already noted, can fill you without making you fat.

Why only “naturally occurring” fiber? According to the scientific journal Nutrition Review, inulin (often added to foods as fiber) may help you go to the bathroom the same way natural fiber does, but it doesn’t have the same effect on slowing down stomachemptying (making you feel full longer) or helping to lower cholesterol.

Isolated, commercially produced fibers “are nothing like the grainy,

bran- and germ-covered whole grains that we envision with products like brown rice, whole wheat, oats, etc. Instead, inulin is a fine white powder, about the same consistency as Sweet’N Low -- certainly not providing that belly-filling fiber that we expect from a bowl of bran flakes or oatmeal,” says Molly Kimball, R.D., C.S.S.D., of Ochsner’s Elmwood Fitness Center in New Orleans.

4. Sleep Getting enough sleep is an important component of a healthy life.

Sleep reduces stress and inflammation, increases memory, keeps you alert -- and the list goes on. Lack of sleep, on the other hand, can increase hunger and appetite. In addition, when you’re tired you’re less likely to make the healthiest food choices. And many people believe they “deserve” to eat something sugary and fatty as a reward for lack of sleep. Finally, a few studies have demonstrated that lack of sleep leads to an increase in the hormone ghrelin (which tells the body to eat) and a decrease in the hormone leptin (which tells your body to stop eating).

Studies show that you need roughly 7.5 to 8.5 hours of sleep to get the benefits for diet and exercise. Do you have problems sleeping?

Here are a few tips: Have a regular bedtime—that means the same time seven days a week. Check your mattress and box spring. When was the last time you replaced them? http://pressroom.consumerreports.org/pressroom/2009/08/ mattress-which-br... Make sure your room temperature is comfortable.

Don’t stay in bed too long after you wake up. Get rid of the TV in the bedroom. And make your sleep environment quiet -- aesthetically and in terms of noise.

5. Watch a Comedy According to a research article in the journal Appetite, watching a comedy can reduce your appetite. In the study, one group watched a 7.5-minute clip of a popular animated comedy with a plate of cookies in front of them, while the control group did not watch the film. The comedy group ate approximately one medium chocolate chip cookie less than the control group.

6. Eat More Veggies Remember when your mom told you to eat your vegetables? Well, Mom was right, and she didn’t even know all the yet-to-be-performed research that supports the value of eating plenty of vegetables. Veggies help you lose weight because they’re high in fiber and water (see above), plus you get a lot of food for few calories. For instance, for the same 227 calories in one 2 3/4 inch square of brownie you could eat 7.5 cups of broccoli. I’m not suggesting that you need to eat more than 7 cups of broccoli; I’m only showing you that you can fill up on broccoli for a lot fewer calories than you’d need to fill up on brownies.

7. Soup Ahhh, a good hot bowl of soup!

Brings back memories of childhood.

But soup is great for more than nostalgia. It also fills you up. Because soups are water-based, they tend to make you feel less hungry without adding too many calories, so you eat less as a result. Barbara Rolls, Ph.D., a professor of nutrition at Penn State University, has led several studies that show eating soup can help you lose weight when consumed prior to a meal. One study found that eating soup prior to your meal could reduce your total consumption by as much as 100 calories.

There are many great-tasting, lowcalorie soups by Campbell’s, Healthy Choice and Amy’s Kitchen — just watch out for the sodium, and keep the calories under 100 per cup.

8. Limit Alcohol Alcoholic drinks are like liquid doughnuts, and most people overlook their calorie cost. Alcohol also impairs judgment, which means that you eat and drink more than you normally would. To top it off, most people enjoy eating high-calorie, high-sodium snacks when they drink -- not a great idea if you’re trying to lose weight.

Alcohol can be especially harmful to dieters because it may cause blood sugar levels to drop, which can stimu-

late your appetite and disrupt your ability to determine when you’ve had enough to eat.

Here are a few tips for lowering the calorie costs of alcohol: • Use more ice cubes.

• Use freshly squeezed juices as mixers.

• Use smaller glasses.

• Try some good, lower-calorie drink options: red or white wine, wine spritzers and drinks made with seltzer or club soda.

• Steer clear of drinks that are really desserts (e.g., cream or ice cream drinks).

9. Reduce Stress When you’re stressed, your body releases cortisol, a hormone designed to help you either fight or flee. But when the cause is not a lion about to attack but rather a stressful e-mail from your spouse or an argument with your neighbor, that response can cause you to eat. The cortisol may trick your body into thinking it has done something active in response to a perceived threat. And, what’s even more surprising, cortisol acts like a biological green light sending signals to your brain to refuel your body as soon as possible. see PLATKIN page 21

Safety alerts cite the side effects of cholesterol drugs (NY TIMES) — Federal health officials on Tuesday added new safety alerts to the prescribing information for statins, the cholesterol-reducing medications that are among the most widely prescribed drugs in the world, citing rare risks of memory loss, diabetes and muscle pain.

It is the first time that the Food and Drug Administration has officially linked statin use with cognitive problems like forgetfulness and confusion, although some patients have reported such problems for years. Among the drugs affected are huge sellers like Lipitor, Zocor, Crestor and Vytorin.

But federal officials and some medical experts said the new alerts should not scare people away from statins.

“The value of statins in preventing heart disease has been clearly established,” said Dr. Amy G. Egan, deputy director for safety in the F.D.A.’s division of metabolism and endocrinology products. “Their benefit is indisputable, but they need to be taken with care and knowledge of their side effects.”

Diabetes patients and even those who develop diabetes while taking statins should continue taking the medicines, said Dr. Steven Nissen, chairman of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, who has studied the medicines extensively.

“These are not major issues, and they really do not alter the decision-making process with regard to statins,” Dr. Nissen said.

Last year, nearly 21 million patients in the United States were prescribed statins. Whether that number of users is too high or too low has been debated for years. While advice on whether to take statins involves a complex mix of factors like age, family history and blood pressure, some experts have suggested that those with total cholesterol levels around 200 would benefit from treatment. Others have argued that treatment should not start until a cholesterol level of 240 or higher, all other factors being equal.

Dr. Sidney M. Wolfe, director of Public Citizen’s health research group, is among those who contend statins are overused. He said the new alerts about risks provided more reasons that otherwise healthy people with cholesterol levels less than 240 “should not be taking these drugs.”

The F.D.A. said that routine monitoring of liver enzymes in the blood, once considered standard procedure

for statin users, was no longer needed because the liver injury associated with statin therapy was so rare.

Reports about memory loss, forgetfulness and confusion span all statin drugs and all age groups of patients, the F.D.A. said. Dozens of well-controlled trials of statins have offered few hints that the drugs cause any kind of cognitive impairment, Dr. Egan said. Still, the F.D.A. has received many reports over the years that some patients felt unfocused or “fuzzy” in their thinking after taking the medicines.

Officials in the F.D.A. debated whether such reports were truly worrisome, Dr. Egan said. But in recent years, the F.D.A. — criticized for waiting too long to issue some safety alerts — has become more willing to be public about possible drug risks, even when the evidence is uncertain.

“We are trying to be as transparent as possible with our alerts and labeling,” Dr. Egan said, even though the alert on the possibility of fuzzy thinking “is not overly helpful.”

Statins seem to increase blood sugar levels in some patients by small amounts, and when millions are treated, that change leads to a diagnosis of diabetes for more people.

The F.D.A. had already placed an alert about diabetes risks on the label of Crestor, a big-selling statin made by AstraZeneca, because a Crestor trial showed an increased risk. The agency decided to extend that alert to all drugs in the class with the exception of Pravachol, an older medicine manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

A well-controlled trial of Pravachol previously showed that it reduced the risks of developing diabetes by 30 percent, but other trials have found Pravachol less effective in reducing cardiac risks.

Dr. Egan suggested that doctors check the blood sugar levels of patients after starting them on statin therapy.

That statins can cause muscle pain, particularly at high doses, has long been known, but in its new alert the F.D.A. reminded doctors that some other medications increase the likelihood that statins linger in the body longer than normal and increase the risk of muscle pain. Among the drugs that conflict with statins are hepatitis C protease inhibitors like telaprevir and boceprevir and the antibiotics erythromycin and clarithromycin.

Hearing aid drop off for veterans at clinics The Manchester VA Medical Center, Manchester, NH is happy to announce that enrolled Veterans can now drop off their hearing aids for certain repairs at one of the Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOC) located in Conway, Portsmouth, Somersworth or Tilton.

Some of the hearing aid issues that can be dropped off are: dead, intermittent/static, needs new tubing/tubing fell out, cracked hearing aids/faceplate is hanging off, needs battery door/stuck battery, missing buttons/volume controls, weak/hearing aid(s) got wet. All other issues need appointments.

There is a hearing aid drop-off form that will need to be completed at each CBOC, the hearing aids will then be picked up by a courier and they will be delivered directly to the audiology clinic at the Manchester VA Medical Center.

Once the repairs are completed, the hearing aid(s) are mailed directly back to the veteran, eliminating a return visit to the CBOC. If you have any questions regarding this new service, please contact Stella M. Lareau, Public Affairs Officer, Manchester VA Medical Center at 603-6244366 X6779 or 1-800-892-8384 X6779.

Mindful Moments A lot of people don’t think meditation is for them. They just don’t see themselves as the kind of person who’s going to twist their legs like a pretzel and mutter “om” for an hour a day.

That’s a problem for two reasons.

You don’t have to twist anything to meditate and you don’t have to commit to an hour a day. Meditation is something anyone can do. As a matter of fact, it’s something we can all, at the very least, dabble in. Why would you want to meditate? It’s a simple way to be proactive in the care of your body and mind.

There are several types of meditation, but the one that tops the list for beginners is mindfulness meditation. Mayo Clinic describes this technique as “based on being mindful, or having an increased awareness and acceptance of living in the present moment. You broaden your conscious awareness.

You focus on what you experience during meditation, such as the flow of your breath. You can observe your thoughts and emotions but let them pass without judgment.”

Mindfulness meditation doesn’t require any particular place, time, environment or special equip-

ment. All you need is you. There’s no need to “still” your thoughts.

If you’re anything like me, that’s pretty much impossible anyway.

You can practice mindfulness meditation anywhere because you don’t need any tapes, gizmos, candles, mats or fancy pants. You can keep your eyes open or close them. Tune into your breathing.

Recognize the noises, activities, smells and sounds around you and let them go. Allow your body to relax. Listen to your breath. If a thought pops into your head, recognize it and dismiss it. You can solve the world’s problems later if you’re so inclined. You may take only a few minutes for yourself the first time, but as you continue your meditation practice, you’re almost guaranteed to want to increase the time.

Meditation in general is good for your body, mind and spirit.

According to Mayo Clinic, there is evidence that meditation can aid in the management of allergies, anxiety disorders, asthma, binge eating, cancer, depression, fatigue, heart disease, high blood pressure, pain, sleep problems and substance abuse. When it comes to stress management

PLATKIN from page 17

The other biological reason why stress can derail your diet is that carbs help you feel better.

Judith Wurtman, Ph.D., co-author of The Serotonin Power Diet (Rodale, 2008), was the first to connect food with mood when she found that carbohydrates boosted a potent brain chemical called serotonin, which controls mood, sleep and appetite and, when elevated, helps you to feel more relaxed and calm.

The way this works is that the glucose in highcarbohydrate foods triggers the release of insulin, which, in turn, allows the amino acid tryptophan to reach the brain (by blocking other competing amino acids), stimulating the production of serotonin.

Yet another reason we tend to eat during stressful situations is psychological. Typical thinking when stressed is, “You only live once, so I might as well enjoy myself now.” When tension and anxiety are high in one aspect of life, it’s not unusual for other areas (such as weight control or eating healthy) to seem trivial or less important. Additionally, when stressed, we long for comfort foods such as brownies, doughnuts, candy, ice cream, pizza, mashed potatoes and fried chicken. One reason is that your parents probably gave you an ice cream when you had a bad day at school or when you lost the big game. And when you left the doctor’s office you got a lollipop, so these are the foods you’re used to having in times of discomfort.

meditation is the key to success. By practicing mindfulness meditation, we learn how to focus better, dismiss unimportant things and minimize the stress caused by the multitude of stimuli with which we’re faced on a daily basis.

Of course, you can create a special space or time for your practice if that suits your fancy.

If candles are your thing then, by all means, go ahead and use them. The point is, however, that you aren’t required to do any of that. Your messy work truck or a comfy spot by a lake will both work equally well. The focus is on the inner things, not the outside world during your mindfulness meditation time.

Add a few moments of mindfulness meditation to your day. It’s a great way to get in tune with you inner life, learn how to filter the messy, loud and chaotic world around us and it is good for your physical health.

Suze Hargraves is a staff member of White Mountain Community Health Center. Visit www.whitemountainhealth.org for more information or find the health center on Facebook.

Here are a few tips to help reduce stress eating: • Exercise can be a great way to relieve tension and reduce stress.

• Develop a Stress-Eating Alternate Action Plan. As an alternative to eating, try to find enjoyable, non-food-related activities that can distract you: exercising, shopping, going to the movies, using relaxation techniques, chatting with friends, reading a humorous book. Have your plan in place before the stressful situation takes control. Not only will you feel better about yourself, but also you’ll thoroughly enjoy what you’re involved in, so it won’t feel like a chore!

10. Eat Less Saturated Fat A study done at the University of Cincinnati and reported in Brain Research proposes that human beings can learn how much food they should eat to be at a healthy weight. However, the researchers found that diets high in fat impair the function of the hippocampus, which results in less ability to notice the “stop eating” cues. Bottom line: Lower your intake of saturated fats by eating lean meats and low-fat dairy.

Learn to Play, Play to Learn workshops at Conway Library

Valley Ms. Check Presentation

Library now part of Family Place Libraries national initiative CONWAY — The staff, trustees and Friends of the Conway Public Library are have introduced a new early childhood initiative that encourages families to learn about best practices in child rearing in an exceptional playgroup learning environment for young children.

The library staff loves to promote early literacy practices. But with a series of workshops titled "Play to Learn, Learn to Play," all aspects of child development will be addressed and caregivers will learn about many of the resources available in our community.

Children ages 12 to 36 months and their parents or caregivers are invited to register for the five session series of workshops which will be offered on Mondays: March 5, 12, 19, 26 and April 2 from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. in the Ham Community Room of the library.

This informal playgroup setting is perfect for sharing of information on various topics pertaining to the care for toddlers while both children and adults have the opportunity to make

new friends. Most of all, it’s about having fun and learning through play.

Through the grant writing efforts of library staff Janis Minshull and Tara Thomas, the Ham Charitable Foundation has funded this project. With this funding library staff attended Family Place training, purchased toys, resources, parenting and board books as well as exploration supplies. Area groups that have helped in this project include: Children Unlimited, Cornerstone Kids, Friends of the Conway Library, Growing Tree Children’s Center, Mountain Top Music, MWV Children’s Museum, North Conway Childcare, White Mtn Community Health Center, and WIC. As a part of the Family Place initiative, the staff of the Conway Public Library looks forward to offering the “Learn to Play, Play to Learn” workshop series each spring and fall for many years. Pre-registration is necessary and space is limited. For more information, call the library at (603) 447-5552 or visit the website at www. conwaypubliclibrary.org

everyone who has helped make this event possible over the more than 40 years realize how much they are appreciated. It would not be possible to hold the prices so low without the support of the community. If you watched the baked goods, turkeys, hams, beans, etc., brought in before each supper in February, you would marvel at an event that brings so much of the municipality together. During Wednesday and Thursday, goods begin to arrive, Friday sees a hardy work crew preparing basic fare, Saturday begins early with set-up, cooking and the excitement grows.

Finally, the doors are open and the BUCC folk (plus many helpers) welcome, serve, clear, and wash pots and pans. Thank you again to the many people who have helped this event survive for more than 40 years. Watch for the “free lunch” after the Memorial Day parade, strawberry shortcake sales for the Fourth of July event, summer concert sales in the park, apple crisp at Veterans Park, then a bean supper in the fall. The Church Mice are a very busy group and enjoy bringing the community together.

There will be a Town of Bartlett candidates forum held on Thursday, March 1, at 6:30 p.m. at the Josiah Bartlett School Gym. The three candidates for selectman — Erik Corbett, Ed Furlong and Doug Garland — will be introduced and available for questions. Moderator of the Forum will be Norman Head.

Valley Christian Church holds free movie March 3 CONWAY — The action-packed police drama "Courageous" will be shown, free of charge, on Saturday, March 3 at the Valley Christian Church at 6 p.m.

Made by the creators of "Fireproof," "Courageous" is the story of four men with one calling: to serve and protect.

As law enforcement officers, they are confident and focused. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle - fatherhood. When tragedy strikes home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads

draw closer to God … and to their children? Protecting the streets is second nature to them. Raising their children in a God-honoring way?

That’s courageous.

Viewers will find themselves laughing, crying and cheering as they are challenged and inspired by everyday heroes who want to be the kinds of dads that make a lifelong impact on their children. More information on this PG 13 movie can be found at www. courageousthemovie.com. All are welcome and refreshments will be served.

Valley Christian Church is located at 230 East Conway Rd, Conway, in front of Abbott’s dairy, 356-2730.

Eagles run into a red hot Souhegan squad, fall 77-35 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Souhegan, the defending Division II state champs, sent a loud message on the opening night of the playoffs Wednesday, the Sabers aren’t quiet ready to give up their crown. Unfortunately, the Kennett High girls basketball team was the first recipient. The host Sabers rolled to a 77-35 victory in the preliminarily round of the tournament in Amherst.

“They were good, no doubt about it,” Larry Meader, Eagles’ head coach, said. “They’re the defending state champs and played like that. We played like

we were a little awestruck in the beginning and made them look a little better than they are.”

Kennett, the No. 11 seed, concludes its season with a 10-9 record and will lose four seniors: Casey Blakely, Kendra Strong, Kaitlin “Shaq” Taylor and Jessie Wagner.

Sixth seeded Souhegan stormed out to a 44-15 halftime lead and never looked back. It was a ball game for much of the first quarter, however, with the Eagles holding their own. The Sabers led 16-9 after the opening eight minutes.

“The second quarter is where it got away from us,” Meader said and explained the game plan was to

play a one-three defense and have the other person guarding All State guard Jane White, who will attend nationally ranked Division II powerhouse Bentley University on a full scholarship next fall.

Sophomore Kaylin Samia and freshman Erin Milford had the task of making White play to her left, her weaker side.

“Erin and Kaylin did what we asked them to do,” Meader said. “She hit two 3-pointers in the first half and we did a pretty good job. The problem was (Souhegan) picked us apart down low.” see EAGLES page 28

Benson and Laliberte are the best at the Meet of Champions

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Kennett High can lay claim to having the best high school cross-country skiers in New Hampshire. Juniors Hannah Benson and Torin LaLiberte, who two weeks earlier won both the girls’ and boys’ freestyle and classical state titles, duplicated the feat Saturday at the prestigious Meet of Champions at Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford.

Skiing against the best racers from all divisions, LaLiberte and Benson skied away from the pack.

The Kennett boys won the overall team title, again on the heels of having won the Division II State Championship earlier in the month.

“We had another phenomenal day,” Steve Vosburgh, Eagles’ head coach, said. “Our racers have skied great all winter, and Saturday was no different. I’m really proud of them.”

Vosburgh said the Eagles had to contend with two to three inches of fresh wet snow on Saturday.

“It was a bit of waxing trial,” he said, smiling. “All of the coaches were busy trying to hit the wax. Hannah actually used a wax-less ski. She liked that combination better. It’s nice to have those skis as a an option. I like to leave that decision ultimately up to them.”

Benson, the three-time individual state champion in the classic and champion and two-time state runner-up in skate skiing, dominated in the girls’ classic, topping a field of 35 skiers as she win the 6.9K race by over two minutes. She won the race in 23:35, finishing ahead of Tess Hamilton, of Hopkinton, who was second, 25:51, while Helen Tosteson, of Hanover, rounded out the top three.

Benson earned All American laurels last year while competing for New England at the prestigious Junior Olympics in Minnesota where she finished fourth in one race and was a member of the relay team that finished third overall at the championships. She will head back to the Junior Olympics in Soldiers Hollow, Utah in three weeks. By virtue of those top 10 results she received national All America recognition.

In Saturday’s 1.4K sprint freestyle race, Benson lifted the title by seven seconds, finishing in 4:01.

Erin Perryman, of Lebanon, was second, 4:08, and Hamilton, third, 4:10.

The Hanover girls won the overall team title topping 13 other schools while Benson, the lone Eagle, finished eighth as a team.

For the boys, LaLiberte, who skied away with the state skimeister crown two weeks ago — an award presented to the top skier from all disciplines (freestyle and classical skiing, slalom and giant slalom and ski jumping), won Saturday’s classical race by 28 seconds in a time of 23:20. see CHAMPS page 29

Country Olympian herself from the 1984 team) noted that it is a distinct honor to host this event. “This is a very important event for the future of cross country skiing. Bringing more than 400 young people and their families together helps develop the individuals and the sport. Considering that the festival only comes to New Hampshire every four years, we are very proud to share what we think is the most spectacular setting in New England for cross country skiing,” Wemyss said.

That sentiment is echoed by NENSA Youth and Introductory Program Director Abby Weissman, who said, “Having the festival at a venue that is accustomed to hosting families and large events really will make a difference to the overall experience. This is a logistically complex event for families and organizers, but it’s also just a great opportunity for everyone involved to enjoy a weekend of winter family activities in an amazingly beautiful place,” Weissman observed.

Raider indoor track girls finish third at State Meet

BY CHARLIE TRYDER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

FRYEBURG — A talented group of Fryeburg Academy indoor track athletes combined for 44 points at the State Class B girls’ indoor track meet last Monday at Bates College in Lewiston.

A deep Waterville team totaled 118 points to easily win the meet, and Greely, the western power scored 73.5 points for second, but the Raiders topped the rest of the field with 44 points for an impressive third place finish in just their second season.

On the boys’ side, Scott Pelkie was the lone scorer for the Raiders. The York boys won the meet with 67.5 points.

Several Raiders won individual events, and Sage Hennessey, Emily Heggie, Nikki Shivers and Corinn Bedell brought the baton across the finish line in the 4X800 relay. Their 1:50.91 time held off a strong

Waterville foursome who finished in 1:51.03.

Bedell earned an individual state championship with a 59.95 time in the 400.

Heggie also earned an individual state championship medal with a 5’2” high jump.

Hennessey earned points for the Raiders in two other events, running a 7.70 55-yard dash time for seventh place, and a 27.20 time in the 200 for sixth place.

Jamie Gullickson made a strong run at a state championship with a 9’6” pole vault, but she placed second behind Kayla Marquis of Orono who cleared 9’9”.

Bailey Friedman unleashed the best throw of her career on her final toss of the day to pull into fifth place with a 31’2.5” throw.

Her effort impressed coach Kevin McDonald.

“Bailey moved from 8th to 5th on her last throw. A

15-year-old sophomore who had never thrown 30’, let a monster 31’ plus go on her last throw. WOW.” Pelkie threw the shot put 40’1.25” for a seventh place finish for the Raider boys’ lone point at the State Meet. McDonald spoke to the fact that there is more to Pelkie’s performance than placing in the meet. “Scott found his way to the podium in the shot put after a long year battling illness and injury.”

McDonald clearly enjoyed the state meet experience. “The day was like a dream,” he said. “Coach Collins and I felt that if things fell our way we could score 40 points and possibly take third place. Not bad for a program in its second year, and that’s just what happened. The girls all performed to the highest standard — never giving up, working, staying focused and doing their jobs. The results of Monday are a reflection of their character. They accepted the challenge and rose to the occasion.”

The Eagles were forced to switch to a man-to-man defense, but the Sabers were equally efficient with their offensive adjustment.

“They’re very good, they move the ball well,” Meader said. “...Our girls deserve credit, they played hard and finished strong, they never quit.”

Junior Lauren White led the Eagles offensively with 10 points while Jordan Murphy added 9; Blakely, 6; Wagner, 3; Taylor, 2; Lauren Kidder, 2; Strong, 2; and Samia, 1.

Blakely pulled down nine rebounds to lead KHS while White grabbed six.

For Souhegan, Tori Forrest recorded a double-double in the first half with 16 of her 18 points coming in the opening 16 minutes while also grabbing 14 rebounds. White led all scorers with a game-high 20 points and dished out 14 assists to go along with seven steals. Mickenzie Larivee added 13 points in the win. Ceara McNamara had five points and 14 rebounds.

The Sabers will travel to Penacook on Friday to take on No. 3 Merrimack Valley in the quarterfinals.

For Meader, his first season at the helm of the program, he loved every minute of the campaign.

“I’m very happy with the season,” he said. “The girls worked hard all year — there wasn’t one practice where where they weren’t into it. This was definitely a good group and if you have to have a first group this is the one to have, they were great.”

Local angler nets state honors once again; Rockett shines –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Travis Rockett, a senior at Kennett High School from Intervale, has once again proven himself to be among the top bass anglers in the Granite State.

At the New Hampshire B.A.S.S Federation Annual Banquet, held recently in Manchester, Travis was honored as the top junior angler in the state.

For the fifth time in the last six years, he was awarded NH Jr. Bassmaster 2011Angler of the Year. This honor is determined by fishing against other youth anglers from across the state on various bodies of water. Some of the lakes the juniors competed on in 2011 included Lake Winnipesaukee, Win-

nisquam Lake, Squam Lake, Silver Lake and locally on Conway Lake.

When the final results were compiled, Rockett was the top fisherman in the 15-18 year-old age bracket.

Rockett also won the NH Jr. Bassmaster 2012 State Championship in the 15-18 year-old Division. The juniors competed for the honors on Lake Wentworth in August. His bag of five fish weighing a little over 12 pounds gave him his fifth championship since 2006.

He will epresent New Hampshire at the B.A.S.S Federation Nation Eastern Divisional held on the Charles River this coming September.

Travis Rockett enjoyed a great year on the water. (COURTESY PHOTOS)

CHAMPS from page 26

Spencer Hardy, of Hanover, was third, 23:48, while Moultonborough’s Joe Smith rounded out the Top 3 in 23:49.

Other Kennett High skiers were Peter Haine, eighth, 25:03; Donovan Spaulding, 13th, 25:36; and PJ Benson, 14th, 25:58.

Kennett boys won the team title for classical racing, beating 14 other schools with 368 points. The Eagles were followed by Bow, 332; Hopkinton, 329; Interlakes, 320; Fall Mountain, 189; Hanover, 181; Plymouth, 160; Manchester, 153; Moultonborough, 98; Lebanon, 97; Gilford, 96; White Mountain, 86; Belmont, 85; Keene, 71; and Profile, 70.

LaLiberte continued his skiing roll by winning the freestyle skate sprint by eight seconds in 3:31.

Hardy was second, 3:39 and Gilford’s Matt Young, third, 3:44.

Fellow Eagles in the race included Haine, 10th, 4:02; Spaulding, 10th, 4:02; and Benson, 19th. 4:10.

There were 35 boys in the race.

The boys from Conway won the sprint title with 363 points followed by Bow, 341.5; Interlakes, 326.5; Hopkinton, 234; Plymouth, 179; Hanover, 178; Fall Mountain, 159; Manchester, 157; Gilford, 98; White Mountain, 97; Lebanon, 96 and Moultonborough, 95.

In other cross country news, Vosburgh will be the wax coach for New Hampshire when it competes in the J2 Championships at Black Mountain in Rumford, Maine, March 9-11. Kennett skiers

Rockett has now completed his career as a junior angler and will cast his luck as an adult.

He has fished in some tournaments as an adult already. Last September he volunteered as a boat captain for the Paralyzed Veterans of America National Tournament, held over two days on Lake Winnipesaukee.

The format paired disabled veterans from all across the country with a boater.

On the first day of the competition, the captains guide their vets around the lake as they fish in a veterans-only tournament.

Rockett put his vet angler onto a good largemouth bass and he won the Lunker Award for biggest fish.

On the second day, the pair team up and fish together. He and his vet won second place (out of 35 boats), narrowly missing the top spot by less than one ounce.

As Rockett eyes up a future as a professional bass angler he has recently picked up two sponsorships.

Smith Optics and Teva have stepped up to supply him with eyewear and water shoes to help him have the best equipment on the water and reach his goal.

He is also studying to become a registered New Hampshire fishing guide.

Spaulding, Benson, Liam Martin and Malcolm Badger are among the 25 boys on the New Hampshire squad.

“It’s pretty exciting stuff,” Vosburgh said. “Usually it’s the first big event at that level for 14- and 15-year-olds. The New Hampshire team should be pretty solid.”

Vosburgh said there are three days of racing with an individual skate race on the opening day followed by a classic race and a sprint on day two, culminating with a mixed relay on the final day.

“There’s a cool way of scoring,” Vosburgh said.

“Everyone’s score counts, which makes it a true team event.”

Spaulding, along with Benson and LaLiberte, will represent New Hampshire at the Eastern High School Championships March 16-18 in Chittenden, Vt. The Championships is the premier event for high school and prep school racers in New England and New York. Competition between states is highly competitive and media attention is significant. The goal of the Eastern High School Championships is to provide the highest quality competition for high school-aged athletes. Athletes qualify for the Eastern High School Championships through state qualifying races (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and New York). Up to 24 boys and 24 girls are selected for each state’s teams.

The New Hampshire team was selected following the second N.H. Series race at White Mountain Regional High School earlier this month.

DILBERT

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll enjoy your time alone today and realize how truly comfortable you are in your own company. It will be easier to be a good friend to others when you’re first a good friend to yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

To outsiders, you may appear to be easygoing, but you have a persnickety side, too. You are most discerning in matters pertaining to how you look, where you go and what you put in your mouth.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’re even more powerful than usual, so be careful what you think about. Your thoughts have a way of becoming realities rather quickly. Fill your head with the outcomes you think you’d most like to occur.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Shake off the early morning’s dreamy mood, and get busy. Everyone knows that “someday” never comes -- probably because it doesn’t exist. There is only today. Make concrete plans, and act on them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Matters of scale will have a bearing on your situation. You can’t play small for big goals. You’ll go home with the prize if and only if the size of your game matches the game you’re in.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 1).

A burden will be lifted in the next four weeks. Giving credit where credit is due will bring luck. Often this will involve honoring the spiritual aspects of your life and the many ways love shows up in your world. Nature brings joy and healing through the spring. June brings an eye-opening journey. Aquarius and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 42, 35, 28 and 19.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will find yourself in less than inspiring circumstances. The lack of stimuli presents a chance to daydream about pleasant places or recall a happy memory.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Just as every item you own needs a place where it belongs, every person in your life fulfills a role. You feel the roles shifting in interesting ways now. It’s as though your emotional life is getting reorganized.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Frustration is only a dead end if it causes you to quit. Don’t give up. Just because things aren’t coming together easily doesn’t mean they won’t come together at all.

The next solution you try may work like a charm.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You like it when silly things happen. It makes for a good story later. There are people in your life who thrill to hear your stories, by the way. Call one of them tonight.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll give thought as to the functionality of things in your life. If they don’t serve an obvious purpose, you’ll be in just the kind of mood to lighten your load and throw them out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Time is one of the worst things to lose or waste, because there’s no way to get it back.

That’s why it’s important to think ahead, make the best arrangements you can make and bring something to do while you wait.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Responsibilities come into play. You’ll do what it takes to maintain your lifestyle and relationships. You’ll take care of the things you own, and they will work for you for many years to come.

Yesterday’s Answer

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Thursday, March 1, 2012— Page 31

Today is Thursday, March 1, the 61st day of 2012. There are 305 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 1, 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.) On this date: In 1565, the city of Rio de Janeiro was founded

by Portuguese knight Estacio de Sa. 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 1912, Isabella Goodwin of New York City was appointed the first female police detective.

In 1940, “Native Son” by Richard Wright was first published by Harper & Brothers.

In 1954, Puerto Rican nationalists opened fire from the gallery of the U.S. House of Representatives, wounding five congressmen.

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed an executive order establishing the Peace Corps.

In 1962, an American Airlines Boeing 707 on a scheduled flight to Los Angeles crashed after taking off from New York’s Idlewild Airport, killing all 95 people on board. The first Kmart store opened in Garden City, Mich.

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 predawn 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: Yemen’s embattled president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, accused the U.S., his closest ally, of instigating the mounting protests against him, but the gambit failed to slow the momentum of his ouster (he later apologized to Washington).

The GOP-controlled House handily passed legislation to cut the federal budget by $4 billion and avert a partial shutdown of the government for two weeks. (The Senate passed the stopgap funding bill the next day.)

FREE KIDNEY SCREENING WAS WAKE-UP CALL TO GOOD HEALTH

DEAR ABBY: For years, I suffered from high blood pressure and diabetes. I never had a clue that they are the two leading causes of kidney failure. After reading in your column about National Kidney Month, I decided to take your suggestion and go to the National Kidney Foundation website at kidney.org.

When I attended their free screening through the Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP), I found out that high blood pressure can damage the kidney’s filtering units, that diabetes is the No. 1 risk factor for kidney disease and how important it is to keep them both under control.

That screening was a wake-up call for me. I now take insulin for my diabetes and medication for my blood pressure.

I have cut out salt and starch, added lots of vegetables to my diet, and 30 minutes on the stationary bike to my daily routine. My efforts have paid off. Last year when I was screened again at the KEEP, I learned that my kidney function has increased.

Tens of millions of Americans are at risk for kidney disease.

Won’t you please remind your readers again how important it is to be screened? For me it was a lifesaver. -- JERRYDEAN QUEEN, NEW ORLEANS DEAR JERRYDEAN: I’m pleased that my column alerted you to your risk for kidney disease, and that you caught it in time.

Readers, March 8 is World Kidney Day. The National Kidney Foundation is again urging Americans to learn the risk factors for kidney disease and be screened so you can prevent damage to these vital organs. For advice on how to stay

healthy and a schedule of free screenings -- not only during March but also throughout the year -- visit the National Kidney Foundation online at kidney.org.

DEAR ABBY: Someone gave a very inappropriate eulogy for someone my family cares about dearly. Is it worth it to say something to him? “Alton” lost his mother, a really good person who was loved by many, and he attacked her during his eulogy.

Alton shared quite a few details about his mother’s life that no one needed to know. But the bottom line is, she was a good person who made some mistakes toward the end of her life. Alton is arrogant and mean and has a long history of verbally attacking family members.

People are still talking about the eulogy. There were individuals at the service who called him names, and a few walked out in tears. Word spread to people in other states within minutes after the service ended.

Is it worth pointing out to an arrogant jerk that his eulogy was appalling and has caused a lot of anger? Should one of us step forward and say something to him, or just chalk it up to “once a jerk, always a jerk”? -- COULDN’T BELIEVE MY EARS IN ARIZONA DEAR COULDN’T BELIEVE YOUR EARS: I vote no, because I seriously doubt that anything you could say would shame an arrogant, mean jerk into admitting he made a mistake by speaking disrespectfully of his mother at her funeral.

A better way to handle it would be for those who were offended to avoid him. A deafening silence may convey the message more loudly than words.

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