CONWAY — Voters Wednesday night restored the school budget to the $33 million originally proposed, shooting down the budget committee’s proposed 11 percent cut.

The motion to restore the budget passed overwhelmingly, 394 to 74.

The meeting had to be moved from the Kennett High auditorium to the gymnasium to accommodate the crowd of more than 1,000, many from outlying towns.

“I think we got their attention,” school superintendent Carl Nelson said as the crowd relocated to the gymnasium for deliberative portion of annual school meeting.

The meeting, which started 25 minutes later than scheduled due to the massive turnout, attracted citizens and school board members from across Mount Washington Valley along with a host of students.

There were about 175 non-residents who sat through the three-hour plus meeting.

Many wore MWV Coalition for Educational Excellence stickers.

The municipal budget committee’s proposal to cut the school budget by 11 percent, or about $4.1 million, was the chief topic of discussion as countless Conway citizens spoke about the impact such a cut would have on education in this community.

Within minutes of the start of the meeting, school board chairman Janine McLauchlan made a motion to increase see SCHOOL page 14

Tamworth votes to keep planning board

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

TAMWORTH -- Despite a petition to abolish it, the planning board survived town meeting season this year.

On Tuesday, ballot voters were asked if they were in favor of abolishing the plan-

ning board. By a vote of 393 yes to 567 no, the article was defeated. That means the people who were elected to the planning board will have their volunteer jobs.

Nicole Maher-Whiteside, with 512 votes, Domenic Bergen, 502 votes, were the winners. David Goodson received 380 votes.

There were 13 write-ins.

Discovery returns one last time KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. (NY Times) — The shuttle Discovery braved the hellish fi re of re-entry for the last time Wednesday and glided back to Earth to close out the space plane’s 39th and final voyage, an emotioncharged milestone marking the beginning of the end for America’s shuttle program.

Dropping through a partly cloudy sky, the commander, Steven W. Lindsey, and Col. Eric A. Boe of the Air Force guided Discovery through a sweeping left overhead turn, lined up on Runway 15 and floated to a picture-perfect touchdown at 11:57 a.m.

Eastern time to wrap up an extended 13-day space station assembly mission.

As it coasted to a stop under a brilliant noon sun, Discovery’s odometer stood at some 5,750 orbits covering nearly 150 million miles during 39 fl ights spanning a full year in space — a record unrivaled in the history of manned rockets.

“And Houston, Discovery, for the fi nal time, wheels stopped,” Mr. Lindsey radioed fl ight controllers in Houston.

“Discovery, Houston, great job by you and your crew,” replied Charles Hobaugh, an astronaut in mission control. “That was a great landing in tough conditions, and it was an awesome docked mission you all had.”

1,495 U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan.

Illinois bans capital punishment (NY Times) — Illinois became the 16th state to ban capital punishment as Gov. Pat Quinn on Wednesday signed an abolition bill that the state legislature passed in January.

“Since our experience has shown that there is no way to design a perfect death penalty system, free from the numerous fl aws that can lead to wrongful convictions or discriminatory treatment, I

have concluded that the proper course of action is to abolish it,” Mr. Quinn said in a statement. “With our broken system, we cannot ensure justice is achieved in every case.”

Mr. Quinn, a Democrat who became governor in 2009 and was elected to a full term in November, said during the 2010 campaign that he supported the death penalty when applied “carefully and fairly,” but

added that “I am deeply concerned by the possibility of an innocent person being executed.” He had kept the question of whether he would sign the bill unanswered since it passed on Jan. 11.

In his statement Wednesday, he said that “for me, this was a diffi cult decision, quite literally the choice between life and death,” and one that required “deep personal reflection.”

In Egypt, preparations Qaddafi forces batter rebels for a rarity: A real vote in strategic refinery town CAIRO (NY Times) — Amr Moussa kicked off his attempt to become Egypt’s first president in a real election with a raucous town-hall-style meeting on Tuesday, taking a few potshots at the previous government while promising to be the caretaker leader needed to fix the country’s political and other ills.

“No president will say, ‘Oh, I will be here until the last beat of my heart,’ ” said Mr. Moussa, drawing laughs from several hundred of the mostly young people packed into a popular cultural center. The ousted president, Hosni Mubarak, used the line in one of his last speeches as he attempted to cling to power. “No!” Mr. Moussa said. “It will be: ‘Until the following date.’ ” Mr. Moussa, 74, a former foreign minister and then longtime secretary general of the Arab League, is considered the front-runner in the presidential race.

RAS LANUF, Libya (NY Times) — Forces loyal to the Libyan leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, repulsed a rebel push to the west on Wednesday and then counterattacked with airstrikes and increasingly accurate artillery fire on the strategic refi nery town of Ras Lanuf, which the rebels have held for several days.

Dozens were injured in Ras Lanuf, Libya, on Tuesday, where rebel fighters kept a tenuous hold.

Final juror seated in Gribble trial

The fi nal juror has been seated in the Christopher Gribble insanity trial.

A woman who appears to be in her 60s was the 16th and fi nal juror selected.

Gribble has admitted killing Kimberly Cates, of Mont Vernon, and taking part in a home invasion that seriously injured her 11-year-old daughter. Gribble says he was insane at the time.

Wednesday’s jury selection hearings began with the removal of a juror who had previously been seated. The judge did not give a reason for the man’s dismissal.

The trial will begin Thursday morn-

ing, when jurors will hear preview statements at 9 a.m. before leaving to view the Cates home.

The other juror seated Wednesday is a woman who appears to be in her 40s who admitted having some media exposure to the case.

Several juror candidates were interviewed Wednesday and dismissed for cause. One of those excused was a man who told the court he works with a man who lives next door to the Cates family.

State budget belt gets tighter

BY TOM FAHEY THE UNION LEADER

CONCORD — A House budget panel got a sobering look yesterday at the state’s fi scal problems, as it reviewed a list of potential cuts to hospitals, children, disabled and the elderly for the next two years.

Health and Human Services Commissioner Nicholas Toumpas reluctantly brought the House Finance subcommittee a list it asked for with $400 million in potential cuts. The reductions would bring the HHS budget back to 2004 levels.

Toumpas said the effect of the cuts “would be a dismantling of the infrastructure vital to all citizens, not just the ones who we serve directly.” He said he fears the cuts will hurt the North Country and rural corners of the state worst.

“We are putting this set of actions forward because we were asked to, in order to meet a target. There’s no way we support any of these reductions. No way,” Toumpas said after the hearing.

The proposal lowers state spending on the HHS budget by almost $350 million below Gov. John Lynch budget’s plan for the next two years, to $1.1 billion from Lynch’s $1.4 billion.

Rep. Neal Kurk, R-Weare, said he asked for the cuts to be fi gured against current spending so the com-

mittee will have all options on the table; the panel has to wrap up its wok by March 17.

The plan cuts Medicaid and child health services, low-income child care subsidies, programs for the disabled, the elderly, the mentally ill, nursing homes, as well as public health programs — including drug and substance abuse programs, family planning and sexually transmitted disease prevention.

Hospitals would be the worst hit by far, taking $167 million of the cuts, and absorbing a tax hike on top of it.

The plan leaves in question what kind of cuts in aid the federal government will make, since the state would be breaking its promise to maintain current spending levels in some areas.

As painful as the list appears, Kurk told his subcommittee, “My assumption is that everything here is going to go into effect.”

The only way to avoid that, he said, would be for panel members to make a convincing argument against specifi c cuts. Kurk said later the $400 million target he set for Toumpas was “an arbitrary number” that he selected as a place to start. He said he will work to see that a Thursday public hearing on the budget will include comment on the HHS outline.

Hospitals across the state would lose all the money they now get to make up for charity care they provide.

Hundreds face 4th day without power PLAINFIELD —More than 300 people are expected to spend a fourth day without power, according the New Hampshire Electric Co-Op. The power company has 40 line crews fanned out across towns in the western part of the state where heavy icing on Monday caused extensive damage to trees and power lines.

As of late Wednesday morning, 950 NHEC customers were without power. The majority were expected to have power restored by the end of the day, but more than 300 may not have power back until 3 p.m. Thursday.

The following is a list of those towns and areas: PLAINFIELD: 49 members in areas off Center Road, Willow Brook Road CHARLESTOWN: 110 members in the areas of South Hemlock Road,

Route 12A, Jabe Meadow Road, Old Turnpike Road ACWORTH: 103 members in the areas of Crane Brook Road, Luther Hill Road, Parsons Road LANGDON: 51 members in the area of Holden Hill Road CORNISH: 44 members in the areas of Cornish Stage Road and Leavitt Hill Road HANOVER: 5 members on Goss Road and Tunis Road CANAAN: 14 members on River Road National Grid customers also experienced outages, but the 250 without power were expected to be back online

by Wednesday.

Fewer than 100 customers with Public Service of New Hampshire remained without power on Wednesday.

House committee recommends school funding constitutional amendment

BY GARRY RAYNO THE UNION LEADER

CONCORD — The House Special Committee on Education Funding Reform voted 12-2 Wednesday to recommend the House approve a proposed constitutional amendment that would give lawmakers sole control of education standards, accountability and funding.

House Speaker William O’Brien, who proposed the amendment Friday, told the committee today the amendment would allow the state to target education aid and end the statewide property tax. He the amendment would “allow us to use an approach that has worked well in the past with the towns and school districts and the state working collaboratively to decide what the standards should be and how the towns should achieve it.”

Supporters believe the amendment would remove the court’s jurisdiction over education and give the legislature back its policy making authority over education.Several committee members questioned O’Brien about using the word “reasonable” and said

that would continue to give the courts a say over legislative action.

O’Brien said the courts would still have a say whether reasonable is used or not.

The vote to recommend the bill was down party lines with Republicans supporting the amendment and Democrats opposing it.

The state has grappled with education funding issues for more than a decade and lawmakers have proposed many constitutional amendments to address the Supreme Court’s Claremont decision, but all have failed to garner the needed three-fi fth votes of both the House and Senate to be placed on a general election ballot.

If the legislature approves the amendment and it is placed on the 2012 general election ballot, a twothirds majority is needed to change the constitution.

The committee also recommended HB 650 be approved. The bill would allow school districts to hold special school district meetings without having to seek superior court approval if lawmakers change the amount of state education aid for school districts this year.

For more information, or to make a donation to the Shawn Smith Ski For Youth Foundation, contact Ellen Guilford at: elleng1123@roadrunner.com.

About the foundation: Shawn Smith lost his life two years ago in a tragic motorcycle accident at the age of 34. Shawn was raised and lived his life in the Mount Washington Valley community. From a very early age, Shawn developed a strong connection to the beautiful natural resources the Mount Washington Valley had to offer. He was especially drawn to skiing and chose as an adult to combine his love and his profession by working in the local businesses within the ski industry.

Shawn was happiest when skiing and enjoying the outdoors with friends and family. He was keenly aware that these opportunities were something to be appreciated and worked towards sharing this appreciation with others. After Shawn’s death, the Shawn Smith Ski For Youth Foundation was formed to help any local youth defray costs to further their love of outdoor sports and music.

It is the belief of the Shawn Smith Ski For Youth Foundation that all local MWV youth and families should have access to, and fully enjoy all of the natural resources the Mount Washing ton Valley has to offer.

This made a difference in Shawn’s life and it can for others.

Nachtspektakel capitalizes on ski touring’s growing popularity SKI TOUR from page 32

“It's really starting to catch on in terms of sales,” Swenson said, adding that back-country skiing equipment had the highest sales growth of any segment of the ski industry in the last year or two.

Ski touring and back-country skiing use specialized skis, either telemark or alpine touring skis, with free heels, and skiers attach “skins” to the bottom of their skis, allowing them to ski uphill. Once at the top of the mountain they remove the skins and ski down. Unlike telemark skiing alpine touring skis (also known as randonee skis) allow the skier to click the heel of his boot into the ski for downhill skiing.

Cranmore's event, which begins at 5 p.m. will include a ski up the slope on a trail set by Swenson, a stop at the Meister Hut for hot cocoa, and a ski back down to the base by 7:30 p.m., in time to join the opening Meister Cup reception.

The evening features a hearty buffet of Tyroleaninspired cuisine and performance of several Schuhplattlers, traditional Alpine folk dances, by a troupe of Austrian visitors.

The suggested donation of the Nachtspektakel is $25, all of which benefi ts the New England Ski Museum. Registration for the Nachtspektakel takes place in the 10th Mountain Pavilion at Cranmore beginning at 4 p.m.

Although organizers are expecting that many of the participants will bring their own equipment, for those just looking to try out the sport, there will be some demo equipment available. A representative of Dynafit will be at the mountain at 3 p.m. to help those interested get fitted for skis. Some equipment is also available for rental at local businesses such as Eastern Mountain Sports and Ragged Mountain.

Leich said he hopes the event will become an integral part of the weekend.

Both Sweson and Cruickshank said they also hope it will open the door for similar events, including tours and racing.

“Something that really drives me is to bring what I'd call European quality races to the U.S.” Swenson said.

Registration for the Nachtspektakel and the 15th annual Hannes Schneider Meister Cup Race at Cranmore Mountain Resort in North Conway is open until Thursday, March 10, and some slots are still available.

All are welcome to be part of the Meister Cup, whether in the Friday evening ski tour, the Saturday race, or as spectators. With its opening ceremony, silent auction, ice-carving competition, vintage ski attire contest, the Meister Cup provides plenty of excitement in an atmosphere of mingled festivity and history at this unique occasion.

Only allegiance in schools is to my children To the editor: Now I’m definitely not going to become a F.O.B. (friend of Bill’s). I’m sorry to have to jump in again but I must take exception to a remark in Bill Marvel’s latest column. I am a member of the Mount Washington Valley Coalition for Educational Excellence; I serve on the data and benchmarking committee. Again, in this committee we are trying to fi nd quantifi able and verifiable data to give a true picture of where the schools in the district are and through benchmarks a path to an improving education for all the students in the valley. His remark, “What greater irony could we see than a coalition of parents offering lockstep loyalty to a patently unsuccessful strategy, and blind support to an increasingly ineffective system, all in the name of teaching their children to think critically” is horribly off base.”

Bill does not know me but I can assure him I have no allegiance to any group, to any person or persons within the school system. My only allegiance in this situation is to my children. My goal is to improve the quality of education in the Mount Washington Valley. I agree the persistent

low SAT scores are totally unacceptable. A prep course in test taking is not the answer. I currently have a son attending Kennett High School. I am not satisfi ed with the quality of his education. I need to see substantial changes in the structure of the school system and it’s curriculum. I am working with others on the coalition to accomplish this. To bring about change is difficult in the best of times, in today’s climate of vitriolic rhetoric it is all the more diffi cult.

The current “slash and burn” method of budgeting does no one a service; it accomplishes nothing in the furtherance of a quality education.

To actually bring about change and improve the educational model in this valley will take concerned citizens from all walks of life to work together.

Next time you want to take a shot (I would say cheap but my wife has suggested I tone down my language) at the Mount Washington Valley Coalition for Educational Excellence give me a call (I’m the only Joe Lentini listed in the state), let’s talk. Maybe together we can move it forward.

Budget committee gives no response To the editor: Monday night’s town meeting was much less dramatic than Wednesday’s school budget focused meeting is sure to be. I was particularly struck by the failure of anyone on the budget committee to freely offer reasons why they voted down certain non-profi t requests.

There was audible mumbling from the audience, and after being asked repeatedly for reasons by audience

members, fi nally two brave members gave (in my opinion) adequate responses. One member said that his decision was made for “personal reasons” (I kid you not). Others sat there with folded arms, crossed legs, and all but glowered at the audience.

Let’s hope our elected representatives are more forthcoming with their reasoning in the future.

Reason for possible decommissioning of trails illogical To the editor: This letter is meant to inform readers of the possible decommissioning of parts of some hiking trails in the area by the U.S. Forest Service. The trails I am concerned about are in Jackson and are parts of the East Branch Tail and parts of the Bog Brook and Wildcat River Trails. The part of the East Branch Trail to be “decommissioned is from Slippery Brook Road to the end of East Branch Road. The reason given is that it is too wet for maintenance. Actually, that part of the trail follows near the road most of the way and is not much used, so it’s closure may not be too important.

However, it is the “decommissioning” of parts of the Bog Brook and Wildcat River Trails that concern me.

The proposal is to close the Bog Brook (and Wildcat River) Trails between the trailhead at the end of Carter Notch Road to where they meet the well-maintained forest road that curves around, starting at the gate near Camp Gout. There would be a new parking lot near the gate. The newly relocated trails would then be along the road until they meet the present Bog Brook and Wildcat River trails and then head north.

The main reason given for the closure of these two trails is diffi cult and eroded stream crossings. These two trails are well used year round.

I hiked and skied them just recently and they were hard packed with use.

One day I met six users, another day four users in the winter. As to the diffi cult stream crossing, that may be true (in summer), but that is part of the outdoor experience. Must everything be made easy for us and turn us into wimps?

As to the eroded stream crossings, that is true. There is some erosion.

However, that erosion near water is insignificant (and could be easily remedied) compared to machine-made ecological problems in the White Mountain National Forest. Here I am referring to numerous machine-made water bars that are often large enough to be tank traps. One series of such tank traps is along the logging road (near an actual trail) from the end of Slippery Brook Road toward Baldface.

That was a good road with very little erosion that I used for several decades and the tank traps in wet areas were

not needed.

The other area of tank trap water bars across waterways is at the end of Jericho Road in Glen, near the upper gate. That road that follows the east side of the Rocky Branch was once actually a road that connected Glen with Jackson and was never badly eroded. The tank trap that now funnels Otis Brook across the road is especially huge, ugly and completely out of character with the surrounding area. It is larger and more diffi cult to cross than the original stream crossings for over a mile. There was more damage making these tank trap stream crossings of the road.

The damage done by the many machine-made tank trap water bars is far greater than any damage caused by foot traffic near streams in the Bog Brook and Wildcat River areas. It seems that one part of the Forest Service doesn’t know what another part is doing.

In summary, I feel that the reason given for possible decommissioning of parts of the Bog Brook and Wildcat River Trails (bank erosion) is illogical and insignifi cant given the damage and erosion that occurred when machine-made tank trap water bars and crossings were made in other parts of the forest. Perhaps the time and money used in making the machine-made tank traps would have been better used to have better maintained the Bog Brook and Wildcat River stream crossings. Another reason that part of the Bog Brook trail should be kept and maintained is that it is actually wet and boggy and is one of the easiest ecologically important areas that the public can access and appreciate. Also it is much more pleasant to traverse a wooded forest trail than along a wide open forest road.

If readers have concerns or comments about the trails mentioned here, they should contact Christin Baily by March 13 by phone and e-mail. Her phone number is 447-5448 (leave a message if she is not in. Her address is Saco River station, 33 Kancamagus Highway, Conway, NH 03818.

Even comments made after March 13 could make a difference. Her long e-mail address could be obtained by calling 447-5448.

AARP lobbyists were kissing up to the Democrats To the editor: The following is a reply I sent to AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) regarding their urgent request for donations to help save medicare and social security: To whom it may concern: As you noticed, my contribution to AARP for saving Social Security and Medicare is ZERO Dollars for one specific reason, being the result of the rotten mess we’re in: You people who control AARP have done everything in your power (with our membership dues) to seat the most corrupt, inept, irresponsible, anti-American, bunch of cowards and traitors. Since the 2006 House and Senate elections to the 2008 presidency, you and your lobbyists were kissing up to the Democrats and advising your members to do likewise. You advised

us that Democrats were good for social security and medicare. You advised us that Obama/Reid/Pelosi care was not only a great deal, but cheaper. You were certain that B. Hussein Obama could utter more than one coherent sentence without a teleprompter when trying to reason, without pre-conditions, to the radical savages who want to convert us or kill us.

Now you want more fi nancial help from us? Please take my advice which is worth more than any contribution I can offer: Come November 2012, admit your poor judgement and vote the liberal bums out. Then, and only then, all former AARP members who left in disgust of your liberal kowtowing might just return.

Cranmore Mountain Resort presents Mountain Meisters Week 9: MacDonald makes Meisters history

BY DANBO DOUCET

MOUNTAIN MEISTERS COORDINATOR

CONWAY — History was made in Week 9 of the Joe Joe Jones Sun and Ski Mountain Meister race series at Cranmore Mountain Resort March 9, as Kelli MacDonald became the first woman racer ever in the series’ 39-year history to turn in the overall top time of the day.

MacDonald’s time was 25.46 seconds, as she fi nished ahead of Skip Bartlett (25.67) and Jonathan MacDougall (25.67). Placing third for the men and fourth overall was Tim Jackson in 25.69.

Kelli was followed in the women’s field by Peek-A-Boo Dolan (26.93) and Cindy “Go Fast” Clancy (27.47).

In addition to Kelli’s achievement, the big story of the day was the annual fund-raiser for Jen’s Friends, the local

cancer-fighting organization which provides fi nancial relief to patients and their parents.

Under the annual fund-raising event, we allow all the Meisters to take as many runs as they wanted throughout the day for a donation to this great cause. The fi rst donation was from the Synergy Racing team for $600 — what a way to start the day. As the day progressed the donations kept coming and we are hoping that we raised at least $2000! We will let you know what the exact amount was when we get that total. Thanks to all of you for showing up and donating and we look forward to doing this again next season.

We had over 1200 runs on both courses which were set by Eddy Bradley and the rest of the Meister crew.

Because of the cold weather and sunless skies both courses remained in

great racing condition. Oh ya — there were a few ruts here and there but overall Eddy and the course did their best to keep you on your toes all the way down.

As you can see we have posted your times in a straight line fashion, best time to worst, but we did separate them by category. No divisions this week or in next week’s paper, but we will have them posted by Monday on the website.

So next week is the Dogger HaynesJesse E. Lyman III Memorial Downhill. Remember that things take a little more time on that day and you will probably fi nd yourself standing in line for up to an hour. We as usual will try our best to get you all through quickly and safely. And let’s all hope that Mother Nature gives us a nice spring day for our fi nal race of the season. It’s Snow Day next Tuesday for the Eastern Slope Ski Club’s Junior Program so we will be train-

ing for the downhill race on Monday, March 14, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

In closing we want to once again thank all our weekly sponsors for the gift certifi cates that many of you received throughout the season.

Thanks to the Conway Daily Sun for publishing our results and my attempt to sum up the race for each week. Thanks to our local radio station WMWV 93.5-FM and Roy “The Skiing DJ” Prescott for giving us airtime on Thursday mornings for the weekly wrap-up show. Also thanks to all of you who stopped in at the start with well wishes or snacks for us during the season. We appreciated it all and it helps us get through the day.

To sum up this great day, I and the rest of the men’s fi eld will agree that we had no problem with Kelli MacDonald beating us all and ending up on top! Go Girl!

the proposed budget to $33,085,373, the original figure the board recommended. The motion generated the fi rst round of applause of the night.

Then it became a legal matter. Town attorney Peter Malia and school attorney John Teague differed on the legality of the budget committee’s proposed 11 percent cut.

“We clearly have a disagreement here in terms of the budget committee’s action,” Teague said. “The budget committee didn’t do its job. I believe (the school district’s) case is a strong one if the day comes when we have to make a case.”

Resident Kelly Defeo, who is running for a seat on the budget committee, took the budget committee to task.

Betty Loynd, who is also seeking a budget committee seat, spoke against the cut.

Reval is the ‘big ticket item' at Bartlett town meeting tonight

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

BARTLETT — Citizens will be asked to appropriate $350,000 for a full revaluation of the town at this year's annual Bartlett Town Meeting in Thursday night.

Town meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. in the gymnasium at the Josiah Bartlett Elementary School.

Voters will decide 16 warrant articles — they voted on six of them Tuesday at town hall, electing town offi cers and deciding fi ve zoning articles submitted by the planning board.

The largest single money item is the town budget, Article No. 8, which seeks $1,999,950 for the ensuing year.

"The selectmen have tried to develop a budget that, coupled with the warrant articles, will not have an adverse effect on our tax rate," selectmen Gene Chandler, Doug Garland and Jon Tanguay wrote in the selectmen's report in the annual town report. "With the amount of new construction in a slump, town revenues decreasing, and the fact that the state has cut back on revenues to the town, this all affects the tax rate.

"While our proposed budget shows an increase of approximately 4 percent, which is more than we like," they continued, "it is mainly due to the increase in bond payments as we are now paying for the fire truck, ambulance and loader that were approved in prior years and a substantial increase in health insurance due to rate increases and new employees in the police department. The actual expenditures in last year's budget were approximately $100,000 less than what we had budgeted. Comparing this year's proposed budget and warrant articles against last year's, we are almost at the same level. While it looks like the total is much higher, when you factor in the $350,000 for the revaluation that will presumably be bonded, the overall effect on the tax rate will not be greater than last year."

Selectmen refer to the complete revaluation of the town's property values (Article No. 7) as "the big ticket item," on this year's warrant.

"While the town's equalization ratio and coeffi cient of dispersion have remained within the state limits and updates and new construction were being done every year," selectmen wrote in the town report, "after doing their assessment review of the town, the N.H. Board of Tax and Land Appeals and the N.H. Department of Revenue Administration felt that since all properties have not been visited since the last complete revaluation in 1993, that the town needed to start a program of complete review in order to be sure all proper-

ties are assessed fairly and equitably.

Given the economy and especially the state of the real estate market, the selectmen have concerns that this may not be be the best time to do this, but basically there is no good time to do a reval.

"This is a major undertaking and will involve assessors visiting every property in town to remeasure and inspect all buildings between April and October of this year," they continued. "We hope residents will cooperate with the assessors and make their jobs easier (and thus saving the town money) by allowing them to asses their property."

The plan is to bond the revaluation payment, which means a two-thirds ballot vote is needed for the article to pass Thursday.

"If the town does not pass this expenditure," Chandler said, "we run the risk of the state coming in and doing the revaluation and just billing the town for the whole amount payable in one lump sum. We've been fortunate to have avoided a full revaluation for some years but we need to take this step this year."

Other warrant articles of note include: No. 10, which seeks voter approval for $168,000 to purchase a four-wheel drive highway truck with a sander body, plow and wing.

No. 9 seeks $125,000 for town road improvements. The town plans to wait until later this spring to determine which road projects the highway crew will be taking on this year. However, selectmen said it looks like major work will be done on Cobb Farm Road, Dundee Road, Skyline Drive and Alpstrausse.

While all selectmen unanimously support articles 8, 9, 10, they are not in full agreement on two articles, No. 14 and No. 16.

No. 14 is a petitioned article submitted by Robert A. King and others seeking $35,000 to be added to the Capital Reserve Fund established in 2005 for the purpose of acquisition of land and costs associated with the construction of a new Bartlett Public Library.

Chandler opposes the article while Garland and Tanguay support it, but only at a funding request of $10,000.

No. 16, submitted by petition through Geraldine Beck and others, seeks $2,000 to assist the Bartlett Community Preschool.

Selectmen are unanimously opposing the article because they don't believe town funds should be used to support a private business.

Annual Bartlett School Meeting will be Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., also in the gym at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School.

Four towns approve groundwater protection ordinance Residents in four of six towns approved new ground water protection ordinances.

The ordinances were designed to protect the Ossipee aquifer. The aquifer basically is water suspended in a layer of sand. It stretches from Crawford Notch to Saco, Maine. It supplies the well water to the towns in between.

Six towns proposed protection ordi-

nances in a regional attempt to keep the aquifer clean. The ordinances passed in the following towns: Effi ngham (174120), Freedom (279 to 98), Madison (326-144), and Sandwich (332-137). Proposed ordinances failed in Tamworth (428 to 536) and Ossipee (204 to 277).

Ossipee and Madison already have groundwater ordinances in place, and the proposals in those towns were updates.

“My husband and I would like to thank you for the very special care you have given me. We have every confidence in you and your expertise. It is always a pleasure meeting someone who is so dedicated to helping others. My experience under your care has been spectacular and I know it will be a long lasting relationship. I am now able to hear every spoken word, I never realized what I was missing. Once again, I sincerely thank you.”

TAMWORTH from page one

Sandra Flanagan received the second highest tally at 360. At candidates’ night, Flanagan had no opinion on abolishing the planning board and conservation commission.

Selectmen’s candidate Kent Jardine, who wanted to get rid of the planning board, received 21 votes.

A warrant article to abolish the conservation commission was taken up at town meeting Wednesday night and was soundly defeated, 254-59. The conservation commission, like the planning board, will remain in place.

In balloting Tuesday, voters trounced a proposed groundwater protection ordinance by a vote of 536 to 428.

School board incumbent Daniel Rowe lost his seat to challengers Jack Waldron and Marie Labrie. Waldron received 575 votes, Labrie received 506 and Rowe received 477.

“I’m pleased,” said Waldron, the top vote-getter.

Waldron said the school board’s organizational process will begin at a meeting on March 17, Rowe said he was “disappointed” that his plans didn’t resonate with voters. He said the board will need a strategic plan to reduce cost in the face of declining enrollment.

“The town works better with a planning board.”

“I tried to put forward big ideas to get costs under control,” said Rowe.

In the road agent race, Richard Roberts defeated Randall Gordon 650 to 322. There were eight writein votes. Three people ran for two seats on the board of library trustees. Ann Chant received 600 votes, Ann McGarity received 583 votes, and Melody Bergman received 302.

Harry Remick defeated Shawn Bross in the race for fireward Tamworth by a vote of 595 to 287.

The Tamworth Planning Board chairman said he has mixed feelings about Tuesday’s poll results.

Dom Bergen said he’s pleased that the planning board survived and that he was re-elected.

“It was the only intelligent thing to do,” said Bergen about the town’s choice to keep the planning board.

“The town works better with a planning board.”

However, Bergen was deeply disappointed that voters rejected the proposed groundwater protection ordinance. He blamed its failure on a “disinformation campaign.” He said people responsible should “be ashamed of themselves.”

Patch wins Bartlett selectman’s seat

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

BARTLETT — David A. Patch, who grew up attending kindergarten in the Bartlett Town Hall as a toddler, will have a much different seat this Friday when he takes his place on the Bartlett Board of Selectmen.

Patch, newcomer to the world of politics, won election to a three-year term Tuesday, topping two other candidates who were also delving into the Bartlett political arena for the fi rst time for the seat.

Patch garnered 229 votes while Erik Corbett received 116 and Steven Iannuzzi, 107.

"I really don't know what (the key to victory) was," Patch said by phone, Wednesday afternoon.

"I ran against two very qualified candidates."

Patch will be sworn in Thursday night after the annual Bartlett Town Meeting at the Josiah Bartlett Elementary School. The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m.

Excited to have won the election, Patch professes to being cautious about his upcoming fi rst selectman's meeting.

"I'm a little nervous," he said. "Hopefully I'll do a good job."

Patch, 38, who is employed by the N.H. Electric Co-op as a working foreman, was asked what he sees as the role of a selectman.

"To manage the town in a way that is consistent with the will of the voters and do what’s best for the town as a whole," he said.

In his candidate profi le prior to the election, Patch was asked what should a selectman's top three priorities be.

"The will of the voters, fi scal responsibility, and maintain a quality level of services," he replied.

Asked about goals, Patch answered, "I would like to see taxes stay low without affecting the quality services the town provides. I would like to see that small-town feel and attitude continue on."

In other voting Tuesday in Bartlett, there were no contested races on the town and school ballots.

Incumbent Leslie Mallett won another three-year term as town clerk/tax collector with 369 votes.

Incumbent Jean Mallett won another three-year term as town treasurer with 394 votes.

Incumbents David L. Patch (David A. Patch's son) and Lydia Lansing retained their planning board seats with 349 and 293 votes, respectively.

On the school ballot, incumbent Nancy Kelemen won re-election with 394 votes to a three-year seat on the school board.

James Miller was elected to a one-year term as school moderator with 394 votes.

Incumbent Sheila Glines was elected to another one-year term as treasurer with 421 votes.

Gerry Tilton won election as school clerk, a oneyear term, with 413 votes.

All five of the zoning ordinances, which were all supported by the planning board, passed easily.

Albany approves sheriff contract ALBANY — Town meeting voters approved all spending warrant articles on Tuesday.

Warrant articles calling for spending included $564,912 for the town’s operating budget. The warrant also included an article asking voters for $10,000 to contract with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Offi ce for law enforcement coverage.

Sheriff Christopher Conley said his agency will be providing the town with eight hours of police coverage per week in two-hour blocks. The sheriff’s offi ce will be charging Albany at the commercial detail rate. The arrangement won’t have any impact on the other towns in the county.

SUZE HARGRAVES

Toddlers Apparently an Oscar statue was seriously damaged when it was handed to a 15-month old girl sitting on a rock. Is anyone else snickering? Who gives a once-in-a-lifetime award to a 15-month old child? It would seem someone in Hollywood didn’t get the “don’t hand anything of value, breakable or otherwise treasured in any way, to a toddler” memo.

MedlinePlus.com reports these developmental stages for children age 1 to 3 years.

• Gross motor — walking, running, climbing (toddler climbs up on rock).

• Fine motor — feeding themselves, drawing (toddler fi ngers Suze Hargraves explore delicate lines on shiny statue).

• Sensory — seeing, hearing, tasting, touching, and smelling (toddler looks at and tastes statue).

• Language – saying single words, then sentences (toddler utters the word “oops”).

• Social — playing with others, taking turns, doing fantasy play (toddler experiences fi rst major social faux-paus as an entire room of people stop to stare at her after the loud clanking sound made by falling statue).

As you can see, the toddler was doing what toddler’s are supposed to do. The people taking care of the toddler ... not so much.

Taking care of a toddler requires skill and cunning. They are clever, fast and have a natural knack for running in one direction while looking in another. In order to assist a little explorer in their quest to grow and learn, we adults must arm ourselves and our homes against things we can’t imagine happening. Although this seems impossible, it’s not. Here are some child proofing tips to help you whether you are a full time or part time or even infrequent caretaker of a toddler: • Never leave your purse, wallet or keys where they can be reached. Small objects and tiny pills are like magnets to toddlers. Keys can be poked in eyes/ears including those of pets, the toddler’s own and even yours.

• Keep your valuables and breakables stored away. If it’s that important to you, you’ll still have it years down the line in one piece if you keep it out of little hands.

• Secure cabinets and drawers. Use chains and padlocks if you must, but keep them out of places containing potential poisons or otherwise lethal objects such as knives. That includes your medicine cabinets. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports “Among children, emergency department visits for medication poisonings (excluding abuse and recreational drug use) are twice as common as poisonings from other household products (such as cleaning solutions and personal care products).”

• Secure shelving and tables. If they think they can climb something they will try. They do not discern the difference between a ladder and a bookcase. Screwing a bookshelf into a wall may seem extreme but it’s not. Do it.

• Cushion sharp edges on counters and tables.

Better yet, buy things with rounded edges to begin with. see HARGRAVES page 19

Local diabetes advocate visiting Washington to urge more federal funding in efforts to stop diabetes FRYEBURG — In an effort to stop xiabetes and the devastating effects of this disease in our community, Brenda Leavitt a diabetes advocacy leader in Fryeburg, Maine will join more than 200 diabetes advocates from across the country in Washington, D.C. for the American Diabetes Association’s Call to Congress. Call to Congress is the association’s premier national advocacy effort and this year’s event will be held March 9-11.

Attendees will include children and adults with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, family members of individuals with diabetes, researchers and other health care professionals. All are committed to advocacy efforts at the local, state, and national levels.

Leavitt is the mother of Miranda Maria Leavitt who passed away on Feb. 17, 2007 from diabetes complications. Miranda had Type 1 diabetes from the time she was 12 years old. With the help and guidance of family and friends, the Miranda Leavitt Diabetes Fund was formed and is being managed by the White Mountain Community Health Center. This fund is available to people who need assistance with their diabetes needs. see LEAVITT page 19

Pictured above is Brenda Leavitt (left) with Sen. Susan Collins of Maine. Collins was presented an award by the American Diabetes Association.

From the National Diabetes Education Program

Be aware of your risk for developing type 2 diabetes Anybody can develop diabetes, but some people are more at risk than others. For example, if you have a family history of diabetes, you are at increased risk for developing the disease, especially if a close family member — mother, father, brother, or sister — has diabetes.

Some women are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes because they were diagnosed with diabetes during a pregnancy. This is called gestational diabetes or GDM. If your mother had gestational diabetes when she was pregnant with you, you may be at an increased risk for becoming obese and developing

type 2 diabetes.

Knowing your risk for type 2 diabetes is an important fi rst step toward preventing or delaying the onset of the disease. Find out your risk by taking the Diabetes Risk Test available at www.

YourDiabetesInfo.org.

In addition to a family history and a history of GDM, some other risk factors for type 2 diabetes include being: 45 years of age or older, overweight or obese, or an African American or person of African Ancestry, Hispanic/ Latino, American Indian, Asian American, or Pacific Islander. see DIABETES page 19

Diabetes education program at Huggins Hospital March 22 Tuesday, March 22, is Diabetes Alert Day.

2011 New Hampshire State Health Profile released CONCORD — The 2011 New Hampshire State Health Profi le is now available for use by state, community, and local public health agencies.

This report provides updated data on many areas affecting the health of New Hampshire’s citizens including alcohol and drug abuse, physical activity, radon, cancer and much more.

“This comprehensive report contains a wealth of information on what we as a state are doing well, where we need to make improvements, and where our long-range planning efforts should be focused,” said Nicholas Toumpas, Commissioner of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

“Studies have rated New Hampshire the most livable state, and we have much to be proud of but there are areas in which we must improve, such as obesity, nutrition, and substance abuse for the good of our citizens and our state.”

The data in the report indicate several positive trends, such as a decrease in the teen birth rate, a decrease in the percentage of adults who

smoke, and an increase in the use of dental sealants. There are also some negative trends identified, including the number of residents living in poverty, the rate of obesity, and reports of substance abuse.

“Public health has been the driver of improvements in such areas as rates of disease, food safety, and clean water, so we need to keep that momentum going to focus on emerging challenges,” said Dr. José Montero, Director of Public Health at the Department of Health and Human Services.

“Some of these new challenges we face are the sharp rise in the obesity rate, access to health and dental care, and alcohol and illegal drug use. Our expectation is that this report will provide a framework for our public health partners as they plan their agendas for the future. There is much to do and we will rise to the challenge; it is time to start thinking about health as something to keep and not just something to attain.”

Leavitt and the other advocates are scheduled to meet with Members of Congress today to urge them to support federal funding levels in fi scal year 2012 for diabetes research and prevention programs at the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that recognize the magnitude of the nation’s diabetes epidemic. Of the nearly 26 million Americans living with diabetes, more than 87,000 of them are residents of Maine, and 74,000 of them are residents in New Hampshire. The advocates will also urge their members of Congress to join the Congressional Diabetes Caucuses, which act to educate Members about diabetes and to support legislation that improves diabetes, research, education and treatment.

While in Washington, D.C., Leavitt will also collaborate with other Call to Congress participants from around the country to plan diabetes advocacy efforts back home in their communities. “My goal through the Miranda Leavitt Diabetes Fund is to raise awareness and educate our community to understand the severity of diabetes and how through proper diet and exercise, prevention for Type 2 diabetes can be accomplished”, according to Leavitt.

While there are some risk factors that you cannot change, such as family history and age, there are risk factors associated with your lifestyle that you can change, such as being more physically active and maintaining a healthy weight. Be sure to talk with your health care provider and find out what you can do to lower your risk for developing type 2 diabetes.

The good news is that people can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes by making lifestyle changes, such as losing a modest amount of weight (if overweight) by being more physically active and making healthy food choices. If you are overweight, create a lifestyle plan that includes losing a small amount of weight — 5 to 7 percent (10 to 14 pounds for a 200-pound person) — and being more physically active.

Here are some simple steps you can take: • Make healthy food choices such as fruits and vegetables, fi sh, lean meats, poultry without skin, dry beans and peas, whole grains, and low-fat or skim milk and cheese.

Congress must provide the funding and leadership necessary to invest in research and ultimately save lives.”

Diabetes is a growing epidemic and is taking a devastating physical, emotional and fi nancial toll on our country. The national price tag for diabetes is at an astounding $174 billion per year and that cost is estimated to almost triple in the next 25 years. Factoring in the additional costs of undiagnosed diabetes, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes brings the total diabetes-related cost to $218 billion.

Eye on Vision Health

Dr. Gary Cole and Dr. Laurel Pulsifer

What is making your eyes itchy?

Many people will suffer occasional conditions that make their eyes feel itchy, red and uncomfortable. There are actually two separate conditions that cause these uncomfortable symptoms, conjunctivitis and blepharitis. While both affect the eyelids, conjunctivitis is an infl ammation or infection of tissue that lines the inside of the eyelid and covers the white of the eye.

Blepharitis is an inflammation of the edge of the eyelid, either around eyelash follicles or where the eyelid meets the eyeball.

Conjunctivitis Conjunctivitis may affect one of both eyes and is a common eye condition, especially among children. It may be caused by allergic reactions or an infection causes by a virus, bacteria or chemical exposure. Some forms of conjunctivitis can be highly contagious and easily spread in classrooms or families.

It is usually a minor infection, but if left untreated can become more serious.

The symptoms of conjunctivitis can include: • Gritty, itchy or burning sensations in one or both eyes.

• Excessive tearing.

• Discharge coming from one or both eyes.

• Puffy eyelids.

• Whites in one or both eyes are pink or red.

• Increased light sensitivity.

Commonly called “pink eye” for the inflammation in the white of the eye, conjunctivitis has two primary forms: allergic and infectious.

Allergic conjunctivitis occurs in the eyes of allergy sufferers when the allergen, such as dust, pollen or other irritants comes in contact with the eye and causes an allergic reaction. Exposure to noxious chemicals, air pollution or chlorine in swimming pools can also result in allergic conjunctivitis.

Another allergic form is giant papillary conjunctivitis can be caused by the continuous presence of a foreign body in the eye.

People who wear hard or rigid contact lenses or do not replace their soft contact lenses frequently enough can develop this type of conjunctivitis, which is identifi ed by large uncomfortable bumps on the inside of the eyelid.

Allergic conjunctivitis can be treated for symptom relief by using non-steroidal antihistamine drops, artifi cial tears, and cold compresses. Chemical conjunctivitis requires fl ushing of the eyes with saline water — or if none is immediately available tap water — for at least 15 minutes to remove any traces of the chemical irritant.

After fl ushing the eyes, topical lubricants may be applied and antibiotics may be prescribed to reduce the chance of infection. If exposure comes from more powerful chemicals such as bleach, ammonia or lye, seek immediate emergency medical care.

Infectious conjunctivitis can be caused by the contagious viruses that cause the common cold, which is spread by exposure to coughing or sneezing from cold sufferers. Viral conjunctivitis can be treated for symptom relief by using non-steroidal antihistamine drops, artifi cial tears, and cold compresses.

Bacterial conjunctivitis is caused by staphylococcal or streptococcal bacteria that reside in your respiratory system or on your skin. The bacterial form can transmitted from insects, contact with infected people or dirty hands, or by use of contaminated eye makeup or lotions. Bacterial conjunctivitis will be treated by a course of antibiotic ointment or drops. There are many types of drugs to treat bacterial conjunctivitis depending on the type of infection. Often it may take a second drug course to resolve the problem.

Blepharitis There are two types of blepharitis: anterior, located around the exterior edges of the eyelids and eyelashes; and posterior, located just on the inside of the eyelids. Some of the symptoms for blepharitis are similar to conjunctivitis, including red, itchy eyelids. The

symptoms of blepharitis are limited to the area immediately around the edge of the eyelid and the eyelashes. Though uncomfortable, it is not contagious and generally does not cause damage to eyesight.

Anterior blepharitis Anterior blepharitis can be caused by bacteria or dandruff from the lashes or brows.

There may be a combination of factors involved with contributing factors that can include allergies or infestations in the eyelashes.

Posterior blepharitis Posterior blepharitis occurs when the eyelid glands do not produce enough oil, which can contribute to bacterial growth. It can also develop as a result of other dermatological conditions, such as acne rosacea or dandruff. Symptoms of dry eye, where tears evaporate too quickly in the absence of oils from the lids may also occur.

Treatment for blepharitis include warm compresses, gentle massaging of the eyelids, use of an anti-dandruff shampoo, limiting the use of eye makeup, temporary discontinuation of contact lens wear, and artifi cial tears or ointments. In some cases of bacterial infection, an antibiotic ointment may be prescribed. Symptoms may recur and require ongoing treatment for relief.

Ruth Maria Jeffrey FRYEBURG — On March 5, 2011, Ruth Maria Jeffrey passed away after a brief illness at the Fryeburg Health Care Center.

Mrs. Jeffrey was born in Dresden, Germany in 1927 where during World War II she worked as an interpreter for the American Army during the liberation of Dachau and is also a survivor of the Firebombing of Dresden.

She was the daughter of Karl Anton and Gertrude Knittel, brothers George, Edith, Annelies and Siegfried.

She then married her late husband Donald Jeffrey and raised her four children in Holliston, Mass.

Ruth worked for over 20 years at the Monticello restaurant in Framingham Massachusetts. Upon retiring Donald and Ruth settled in Lovell, Maine where she enjoyed golf, cooking for Hicks nursing home and spending time with family and friends.

Mrs. Jeffrey is survived by her children Charlotte Mandarano, Christine Silva, Charles Jeffrey and the late Chandler Jeffrey. One grandson, one granddaughter and three great grand children.

Ruth was beloved by all and will be

Early planning for a successful vegetable garden Late winter and early spring are a good time to start thinking about your garden. Besides looking through your seed catalogs this is a good time of year to create a plan for your vegetable garden. Creating a vegetable garden plan can get you in the mood for spring and improve the productivity of your garden.

Creating a garden plan can be as simple or complex as you want. You may want to do a rough sketch on paper or something more elaborate on a computer. The most important thing is that it gives you a place to document what you will do. The garden plan will insure that you use your garden space wisely and efficiently. The plan will also save you money by increasing productivity and by keeping you from purchasing seeds and plants you do not have room for.

Space is always crucial in a vegetable garden whether you have a small raised bed or a massive half acre garden, there never seems to be enough space. Creating a garden plan will help you use your space to its full capability. One thing to consider before developing your garden plan is whether you will grow vertically or horizontally. Tomatoes can be grown vertically using stakes or a trellis system and will conserve space as well as give you better quality and earlier fruit. With either system it is best to prune the plants to one or two leaders and to stay on top of the pruning as they will get out of control fast.

Vine crops such as cucumbers, melons, peas, pole beans, and pumpkins can be grown vertically as well. Wire mesh used for reinforcing concrete makes an ideal trellis for these items and is readily available from home improvement stores. Large fruited crops such as pumpkins and melons will likely

need some additional support for the fruit. Other options for conserving space may include using bush or dwarf cultivars.

A garden plan is crucial if you want to take advantage of succession planting. Succession planting is the process of planting a second crop after the first crop is harvested. This practice will improve your use of space as well as increase productivity or the yield of your garden. Succession plantings that work well include following spring lettuce and spinach with carrots and beets, spring cabbage and broccoli followed with beans and summer squash, or spring peas followed with fall broccoli or brussel sprouts. Before planting the second crop it is important to remove weeds and replenish nutrients removed by the first crop.

The most important part of a garden plan is the documentation. A garden plan is a good place to record what varieties you planted and when you planted them. It may also be a good place to put notes regarding pests, fertilizing and yields. Having all this information in one spot will be an asset for creating a garden plan in following years and help you recall what worked and what didn’t.

The benefits of a garden plan are tremendous and will help insure a successful gardening season. Much more on vegetables and gardening can be found on the UNH Cooperative Extension website at: extension.unh. edu/ Happy Gardening!

Charles Greenhalgh

Mount Washington Valley cares about education for our children A few weeks ago I attended a lecture presented by Kim John Payne and sponsored by White Mountain Waldorf School.

Mr. Payne, an engaging and eloquent speaker, held the audience’s rapt attention for nearly two hours.

For those who missed it, it was taped and will be broadcast on Valley Vision.

Mr. Payne’s subject matter, curbing school bullying, couldn’t have been more timely. Tragic stories of bullying, and more specifi cally cyber-bullying, have become commonplace in the media. This subject has generated cover stories in national publications such as Time and Newsweek. Mr. Payne’s experience and education was apparent from his lecture. He has studied and applied his knowledge in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Africa and throughout the United States.

In his lecture he drew on examples from his experience with inner city children as well as children attending school in middle and upper class areas. It would be impossible for me to recount, with any accuracy, the full content or details of Mr. Payne’s presentation. Suffi ce it to say, however, he presented a compelling and convincing case for his approach to the issue of bullying.

White Mountain Waldorf School brought this enlightening speaker to Mt. Washington Valley. This lecture was attended by Waldorf School parents and faculty, but also parents and faculty from local public schools.

The content of Mr. Payne’s presentation will continue to be available to others through rebroadcast on TV and on DVD from Valley Vision in North Conway. Although there has been much discussion about bullying in our local media and in school groups, only the White Mountain Waldorf School has brought the insight and experience of an international expert to our community.

White Mountain Waldorf School has had Mr. Payne provide training to faculty and parents and has begun

to implement his programs. This is because in our school community, education, in a safe nurturing environment, comes first and foremost.

Several years ago, I was involved in the Capital Campaign to build our school. I knew that when I was asking for donations, I would have to answer a question like: “Why should I support Waldorf School when I pay taxes to support public schools?” It’s a hard question to answer and I gave it a lot of thought. I decided to use this reply: Having a variety of educational options available in Mount Washington Valley doesn’t detract from any one option, but enhances our educational system as a whole. Waldorf education isn’t for everybody, nor is public education. But having both available strengthens the whole educational experience in our community. When there are both public and private educational alternatives available, it shows that our community cares about education. When a community supports education, people see it as a great place to raise a family. Having a great educational community will attract businesses, professionals and entrepreneurs, who then create opportunity for others.

During Mr. Payne’s lecture, I realized that I was right. The educational culture at White Mountain Waldorf School created the opportunity to bring Mr. Payne’s perspective and approach to addressing bullying to all schools in this community.

It also provided that opportunity to the wider community, which can only benefit from this knowledge.

Everyone in our community will continue to benefi t from the education provided at White Mountain Waldorf School. All of our families will be better for it. That’s why Waldorf education matters in Mount Washington Valley.

Charles Greenhalgh is the parent of a seventh grader at the White Mountain Waldorf School.

Carroll County Democrats to meet March 15 Democrats from across Carroll County are slated to gather Tuesday, March 15, in Runnells Hall, Chocorua, to hear House Minority Leader and former House Speaker Teri Norelli, and former Senate Majority Leader Maggie Hassan report on the legislative climate in Concord. Carroll County Dems Chairman Bob Bridgham will gavel the meeting to order at 7 p.m.

Both Norelli and Hassan have been outspoken opponents of a number of bills currently before the Legislature, including bills to curtail services, reduce education funding, abolish regulation and licensing in a myriad of professions, disenfranchise non-resident students and military personnel from voting, establish a New Hampshire defense force and dismantle the state retirement system.

Norelli and Hassan will review legislative activity in the House and Senate to date but have been asked to focus on two important areas under attack — education and health care.

A question-and-answer period will follow as well as discussion of action open to the Democratic rank-and-file, independents and GOP moderates who may feel disenfranchised by the extreme Republican agenda.

Runnells Hall is part of the Chocorua Library building and situated on Route 113 (Deer Hill Road) a few yards east of the intersection of 113 and Route 16, the main north/ south road in Carroll County. From the western areas of the county, take Route 25 east to Route 16 north. For help with car-pooling arrangements, telephone Susan Wiley at 284-6990.

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis will gather in tight circles to talk about what’s wrong with an organization, and seldom do they assemble to express what’s going very well. Buck the trend.

Bring people together to celebrate all that’s going right.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

There will be misinformation all around you. Your job is to fi nd out the truth and broadcast it. Instead of making assumptions, ask for clarifi cation from the source.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ).

You have a fair assessment of a relationship, but you may still be incorrect.

As you make the effort to understand the other person, profound feelings arise. Bonds are built.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’re so intelligent and creative that you can often make sense of the nonsense around you. But sometimes things just are what they are. You’ll have more fun once you let go of the need to justify and explain all that’s going on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Recent events have rocked your schedule, and now it’s time to restructure based on your new mood, identity and goals.

Whatever ails you can be remedied by a supportive routine.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 10).

You’ll be celebrated for the way you connect with others and raise their spirits. Your work exposes you to smart people who will teach you new moneymaking skills. April and August bring a surge of fi nancial good luck. June’s romantic entanglement is most pleasant! September brings travel. You have a special connection with Aries and Scorpio people. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 25, 41, 20 and 11.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19 ). There is a certain person who is particularly adept at eliciting strong emotions from you. If (and only if) those emotions are usually positive, then defi nitely make contact with this person today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It is sometimes diffi cult for you to get away from the world, even in your own home.

You need to have a place where you can experience solace and tranquility.

The omens are right for you to find such a space today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your curiosity guides you to unravel a mystery. You may not find the answer to this one today, or ever, but the exploration will lead you to a personal insight or revelation.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will act as a kind of gatekeeper. You will be agreeable to those with the correct passes to get in the door, and it is also your job to keep interlopers out.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be inspired by the zeitgeist, and you’ll take action to stay relevant in today’s mix.

A Gemini can “hip you” to the current information, style, vocabulary and technology.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may not consciously realize this, but every day you are making yourself more and more indispensible to someone’s life.

Likely, it’s your stellar work ethic that’s to blame!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your social graces are effortless, so you fi nd it surprising when others have trouble moving from introductory remarks into engaging conversation. You’ll kindly grease the wheels of social discourse.

Today is Thursday, March 10, the 69th day of 2011. There are 296 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 10, 1876, the first successful voice transmission over Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone took place in Boston as his assistant heard Bell say, “Mr. Watson — come here — I want to see you.”

On this date: In 1496, Christopher Columbus concluded his second visit to the Western Hemisphere as he left Hispaniola for Spain.

In 1785, Thomas Jefferson was appointed America’s minister to France, succeeding Benjamin Franklin.

by Abigail Van Buren

PROMISE OF SECRECY IS SACRED TO COOKS WHO RELISH MYSTERY

DEAR ABBY: I’m responding to the letter from “Craving the Cakes in Florida” (Jan. 30), complaining that her sister-inlaw wouldn’t reveal the secret ingredient in a late relative’s pancake recipe. As a cook who has many of my own kitchen secrets, I’d be upset if one of my family members were to reveal them to anyone I didn’t authorize. A promise is a promise, and it should never be broken! Believe it or not, recipes are intellectual property. How presumptuous for “Craving” to expect her in-law to divulge a secret from the family’s tradition. She should enjoy the meal when she’s at her sisterin-law’s, and work on developing her own mystery dish. -STAYING MUM IN CHARLESTON, S.C. DEAR STAYING MUM: Many readers agreed with you about the importance of keeping a promise. Some of them also were sure they knew the secret ingredient that made the cakes so memorable: buttermilk, ricotta cheese, nutmeg, vanilla extract, Irish Cream, Kahlua, lemon juice, oatmeal, yogurt, cinnamon, malted milk, cornmeal, sour cream and cardamom. (This is making me hungry!) Read on: DEAR ABBY: I obtained a recipe upon the death of an aunt who wouldn’t share it until she passed away. I did not think she was selfish. I fondly remember her serving these cookies the few times a year we saw her. I bake them for special occasions -- holidays, birthdays, graduations, etc. -- and mail them to family and friends out of state. The treats are special and everyone looks forward to receiving them. If everyone had the recipe, it would lose its distinction. When I am no longer able to bake them, I will happily pass the recipe on to a relative to continue the tradition. -- BETH IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR ABBY: I was taught a promise is sacred. Do you really think the in-law should sacrifice her honor over a pan-

cake recipe? They may be delicious, but breaking my word would leave a bitter taste in my mouth. -- PROMISE KEEPER IN VIRGINIA DEAR ABBY: A friend gave me a cinnamon bun recipe that had been in his family for as long as anyone could remember.

About 15 years ago, his house caught fire and he lost most of his possessions, including that recipe. His siblings had misplaced it and the only person to have it was me. Sometimes it’s good to share something, if only with one other person.

That way, treasures aren’t lost forever. -- LISA IN RENO DEAR ABBY: Because the relative had shared the recipe with “Craving’s” sister-in-law, technically it was no longer a secret. If it was to be kept a secret, then shouldn’t the relative have told no one? I feel the in-law is free to share the secret with a clear conscience. I’d like to know what it is, too!

-- FOODIE IN TENNESSEE DEAR ABBY: I think I know the ingredient in the hot cakes recipe. My daughter was co-owner of a small restaurant. Everyone begged for the secret of the waffles there. It was bacon grease in the batter. Not healthy -- but delicious. -- MARGARET IN WHITTIER, CALIF. DEAR ABBY: I have been cooking for about 50 years. You can bet your boots the mystery ingredient is beer. That’s how my daddy made them. Use it instead of water for really light pancakes. -- PATRICIA IN TEXAS DEAR ABBY: I grew up in a family-owned restaurant.

Grandma used club soda instead of water in the pancake batter. The results? Perfection. -- LAURENE IN CONNECTICUT DEAR ABBY: “Craving” should take a pancake to a retired home economics teacher. They can often discern the most mysterious of ingredients. -- SHARON IN NEBRASKA

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

Firefighters’ Association holding corned beef and cabbage supper on March 12 About 10 years ago, my girls started playing the sport of basketball. Since then, I have grown to love and actually understand the sport. This past weekend I had a chance to watch a Maine Red Claws game in Portland. What great fun that was. One of the players was over 7 feet tall. I would love to be a sports trainer and travel with a professional basketball team. Imagine all the fun places you would see and all the games you would get to watch. That would be a dream come true for me. This Friday the staff at the Bartlett Elementary School will play against the middle school students. This is truly a fun-filled afternoon. Hopefully none of the staff will need to use the Automated External Defi brillator (AED) machine, but we have it available just in case.

I hope everyone has a great week.

The Bartlett Firefighters' Association will be holding a corned beef and cabbage supper on Saturday, March 12, from 5 to 7 p.m. The cost is $10 for adults and $5 for children 6 and under. There will be a Chinese Auction and a 50/50 raffle.

The following is a story by Roger Clemons: "When I was 5 and ready to attend fi rst grade in Bartlett, my father, a railroad maintenance of way foreman with eight years seniority, bid off (applied for) the position of track foreman on the Mount Willard section in Crawford Notch. My parents had bought the home that I now live in, and Mom had become settled in Bartlett, after many years of travel. The new position would provide Dad with a larger paycheck and one other benefit:, living at the 'house beside of the tracks' on the side of Mount Willard, once occupied by the Evan's Family and told about in Life by the Tracks by Virginia Downs.

For me, it was exciting for several reasons, least of which was living on the side of a mountain. I loved railroads; still do, and the prospect of riding the train

to and from school in Twin Mountain was more that I thought possible. My dreams would be fulfi lled, and my nervousness over the new experience of my life (school) would be tempered with some great stories. I might even be in a wreck.

Dad thought about renting out the house in Bartlett, which would, of course, add additional income to the meager wages he made as a trackman. Mom was less enthused, she had many friends in Bartlett and would miss their daily contact, but she would follow Dad if she had to. Two weeks before Dad was to take over at Mt. Willard, he bid on, and was chosen to be, the foreman on the Sawyer's River Section. The old section house is still there, with many fond memories for me.

Since railroading was, and still is, a 'union' job, he got the position not only by seniority, but by the foreman, Jim Chadbourne, who had more seniority than Dad, bidding off the position of spare crew foreman and thus leaving the foreman's position at Sawyer's River open. Dad and Jim were great friends, though Dad was seriously younger than Jim. I've always wondered if Jim gave up the position so that Dad would have a better chance to stay in the home that he and Mom had made.

Mom hinted as much, though she never told me so, but she did say that she had no interest living in a home only feet from the track and where the sun went down much earlier than down in the valley.

Years later, my father also bid off the position of spare crew foreman, which meant that he had to go to Portland almost every day. It meant that he would be away from home, but as Mom said, "We’ve got used to that over the years." There's a part of me that wishes we had lived up there, on the side of the mountain, with a train and not a school bus to ride to school. It's funny how some adventures begin with 'What if.' "

Freeman defends title at Ski to the Clouds while Taylor takes tops for the women PINKHAM NOTCH —Three-time defending champion, Justin Freeman, completed a fourpeat with a victory in Ski to the Clouds Sunday.

Bates College’s Beth Taylor won the women’s race.

Ski to the Clouds, presented by Maxiglide, features a $1,400 cash purse and a 6-kilometer climb up Mt. Washington making it North America’s Toughest 10k.

Despite rain and unseasonably warm temperatures, a record fi eld came to test themselves on Mt. Washington. In typical fashion, Freeman of New Hampton, a 2006 Olympian now racing for Salomon, let others lead the fi rst 4 kilometers on the Great Glen Trails’ Nordic system before surging to the front.

Sitting comfortably in a pack as they reached the base of the Mt. Washington Auto Road, Freeman took the lead one-kilometer into the climb and never looked back. He went on to win by nearly two minutes with a time of 43:25.

This year’s margin of victory was the largest of his four wins. Stephen Monsulick of the University of New Hampshire was second in 45:12, and Samuel Evans-Brown of the Gunstock Nordic Association was third in 45:51.

In the women’s race, Taylor was not the fi rst woman to make the turn up the Mt. Washington Auto Road, but, like Freeman, she pulled away on the steep climb for a comfortable victory. Her time of 55:38 was nearly a minute better than her closest competitors.

The women’s podium was made up of entirely college students with Ellery Leeds of the University of Vermont second with a time of 56:51 and Kathryn Miller of the University of New Hampshire third in 57:33.

Last year’s 40 plus male winner, Duncan Douglas, defended his title in 2011. Douglas, a1992 and 1994 Olympic Biathlete, from Honeoye Falls, N.Y. and National Guard Sports fi nished fi fth overall with a time of 47:28. Eliza Deery of Gilford, was the top 40 plus woman with a time of 1:06:50 best-

ing last year’s 40 plus winner Meredith Piotrow of Jackson, who fi nished second in the 40 plus category.

Also competing in the race was Timothy Mather of Marlborough, Conn., who will be competing in all the races up the Mt. Washington Auto Road in 2011: Ski to the Clouds, the Mount Washington Road Race, Climb to the Clouds, Newton’s Revenge and the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb. Dubbed the “Mt. Washington Auto Road Gravity Challenge,” more information about Mather’s quest can be found at www.mathersports.com.

Mather’s summer of endurance will also include the 24 Hours of Great Glen mountain bike race.

The Ski to the Clouds course includes 4 kilometers of racing on the trail system at Great Glen Trails before the climb up the Mt. Washington Auto Road. The 6-kilometer climb up the mountain covers 2200 vertical feet making the race North America’s Toughest 10k.

The race finishes just below the site of the historic Halfway House on the Mt. Washington Auto Road, at approximately 3800 feet above sea level.

Ski to the Clouds is a true freestyle event: skiers can use either skating or classic technique in this mass start race. There are no separate categories for each discipline.

Thanks to the support of Maxiglide, Ski to the Clouds features $1400 in prize money. Cash prizes were awarded to the top three men and women: $250 for fi rst place, $150 for second and $100 for third. The top male and female age 40 or older collected a $200 prize.

Complete results and photos available at www.

SkiToTheClouds.com.

The 2011 edition of Ski to the Clouds is the first race to be held on the Mt. Washington Auto Road during its sesquicentennial year.

As America’s Oldest Manmade Tourist Attraction, the Mt. Washington Auto Road will celebrate 150 years of operation this year with a full calendar of special events.

Ski touring event added to Cranmore's Schneider Cup Weekend Dynafit Nachtspektakel is planned for Friday night

BY TERRY LEAVITT THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

Peter Swenson, of Dynafit, sets an alpine ski touring course. Swenson works for Dynafi t setting up courses and events for alpine ski touring around the United States, and participates in races here and abroad.

Tomorrow he will be at Cranmore for the mountain’s first ever Nachtspektakel social ski touring event.

CONWAY — Building both on ski history and the latest trends in the sport, organizers of the Hannes Schneider Meister Cup Race will kick off this weekend's festivities Friday night with a social nighttime ski tour up and down Cranmore Mountain.

Peter Swenson, one of the top alpine ski touring racers in the United States and former Mount Washington Valley resident, will be setting up the tour. Swenson now works for the ski manufacturing company Dynafit, setting up alpine tours, races and other events around the country.

The Dynafit Nachtspektakel ski tour is the newest element at Meister Cup weekend, the annual celebration of skiing history and fund-raiser for the New England Ski Museum, now in its 15th year.

The event honors Hannes Schneider, developer of the Arlberg skiing technique and head of the original ski school at Cranmore in the 1930s as well as the military skiers of the United States armed forces, especially the 10th Mountain Division, in which many of Schneider’s proteges fought during World War II. The weekend's events will include a giant slalom ski race, torchlight parade, ice carving, ski apparel fashion show, ski history programs and more.

Jeff Leich, curator of the New England Ski Museum, said the Nachtspektakel (German for "night spectacle") is a natural addition.

“Hannes Schneider was teaching skiing long before anyone thought about ski lifts and this is how you got up the mountain, so it's a real good fi t for a race that honors Hannes,” Leich said.

Local skier Ian Cruickshank, who is helping to organize the event tomorrow, said he fi rst discovered

ski mountaineering on a trip to Europe in the early 1970s.

He said he hopes many of the local back-country skiers will come out for the event.

In Europe, both touring and races are popular and it is common for skiers to ski up to a hut for dinner after a day of work, Swenson said. “There's a culture of skiing up to a hut for dinner and a beer. There's a great deal of night skiing with headlamps. We're hoping to bring that culture to the U.S.” Swenson said he'd like to see ski areas establishing weekly or monthly night tours. Some of that is already happening in the western states, he said.

While ski touring has been popular in Europe for decades, never really losing touch with those pre-skilift origins, most downhill skiers in the United States have stuck to resort areas with groomed slopes, with the exception of a relatively small number of backcountry skiers. Those numbers are now growing, with increasing popularity of both back-country and alpine touring here as well.

Dynafit, which specializes in ski equipment and apparel for alpine ski touring or randonee, is working to boost that trend with events like the Nachtspektakel series, which this year includes tours in places like Aspen, Jackson Hole and Breckenridge.

Swenson said Cranmore is a good location for such an event with the ski area located next to the village of North Conway.

Cruickshank said back-country skiing in New England has had a huge revival in the last 20 years.

He said downhill skiers are often drawn to the sport because it offers more exercise and access to different terrain than the perfectly groomed slopes of modern ski resorts. see SKI TOUR page 5
