Shoppers pick touch screens over salespeople

Saturday night Low: 19 Record: -9 (1984) Sunset: 5:45 p.m.

(NY Times) — When Nadia Karim goes shopping, she doesn’t wait around for salespeople. She saves items from apps and Web sites on her cellphone as a shopping list.

As she browses like Nordstrom, she uses the phone to check out styles at competitors like Macy’s.

“In all honesty, because I shop so much, I feel sometimes I know the brands better than some of the associates,” said Karim, 26, an analyst at Intel in Phoenix.

For a generation of shoppers raised on Google and e-commerce, the answer to “Can I help you?” is increasingly a firm “no.”

But instead of getting defensive, some stores and brands are embracing the change by creating new personal touches that feature gadgets rather than doting sales staff. Bobbi Brown has touch-screen televisions to demonstrate the perfect smoky eye, something that was once the exclusive domain of makeup artists.

LeBron James’s shoe store in Miami has 50 iPads to describe its merchandise.

Macy’s is testing cosmetics stations where tablets offer reviews and tips. And at C. Wonder, shoppers use a touchpad to personalize the lighting and music in dressing rooms (there is also a button in case, olden-days style, they need to call for help).

U.S. extends run of strong job growth ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

(NY Times) — In yet another sign of a strengthening recovery, the United States added 227,000 net jobs in February, the third consecutive month of gains over 200,000. The unemployment rate was unchanged from 8.3 percent in January, the Labor Department reported Friday, as nearly a half-million people who had been staying on the sidelines rejoined the search for work.

The improving job growth numbers could bolster President Obama’s effort to

make the case to voters that his economic policies are working.

“Today’s employment report provides further evidence that the economy is continuing to heal from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression,” said Alan B. Krueger, the chairman of the White House’s Council of Economic Advisers.

Republicans, for their part, immediately declared that progress was too slow and attacked President Obama for what they called his “job-killing policies,” hammering

CAIRO (NY Times) — The last American facing criminal charges here for his work with United States-backed nonprofit groups appeared in court on Thursday as the trial reopened, standing in the metal cage where Egyptian criminal courts keep defendants during proceedings.

The American, Robert Becker, chose to stay in Egypt to stand trial even after his federally financed employer, the National Democratic Institute, paid $330,000 in

bail to allow him a chance to leave the country. He has not returned an electronic message and could not be reached for comment.

Becker and six other Americans had been trapped here under a travel ban pending their trial until last week when, under heavy United States pressure, judicial officials withdrew the travel restriction on the condition that the defendants post bail and pledge to appear when the trial reopened.

U.N. Relief Chief says Syria resistant on aid proposal

BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times)— The top United Nations relief official offered a somber view on Friday of the aid crisis caused by the uprising in Syria, saying she had witnessed horrific destruction during her two-day visit there and had encountered resistance by the government to accept her emergency aid proposal, in which U.N. relief workers would gain unrestricted access to stricken areas.

The official, Valerie Amos, the under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, told reporters at a news conference in Turkey following a visit to Syria that the government of President Bashar al-Assad was still considering her proposal, which would allow relief teams from U.N. organizations to help cope with the deprivations from the year-old uprising against him.

“The Syrian government have asked for more time to look at the agreement,” said Amos, who visited border camps in southern Turkey that are hosting more than 11,000 Syrian refugees.

County attorney seeks raises for himself and staff

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

OSSIPEE — The county attorney seeks raises for his staff -- but he's asking for the largest raise for himself. Even if lawmakers approved the raise, he'd only get it if re-elected in November.

County attorney Tom Dewhurst proposes increasing the lowest assistant attorney from $44,280 to $50,000, the middle attorney from $52,215 to $60,000 and the deputy county attorney from $64,000 to $70,000. Dewhurst made his recommendations after comparing Carroll County to other counties in New Hampshire.

"It's hard to keep prosecutors here in the office if they are underpaid," said Dewhurst. "We have living expenses, the hours are very challenging and the case loads are very full."

In Carroll County government, 14 state representatives, called the delegation, set county budgets, which commissioners manage with help from department heads. The delegation is also responsible for setting the pay rate for elected officials such as the county attorney and sheriff.

"We lost one of the county attorneys that was instrumental in helping us with a complex case and she left us to go to Merrimack County for a pay raise," said Dewhurst to delegation members recently. "These (raises) are consistent with and probably on the low-medium end salaries for county attorneys."

Dewhurst confirmed he is asking for a raise of approximately $12,500, which would bring his salary to $82,500.

The county attorney insisted that his first act in office was refusing county's health benefits package.

The delegation sets salaries in the late spring. Therefore, the raise would be given to whoever wins election in November. Dewhurst wouldn't say if the raise should be given to a county attorney who takes the county's health benefits.

"We haven't talked about it so I'm not sure how I'm proposing it," said Dewhurst of the raise he proposes for

himself. "I only put it down on the sheet so it wouldn't be a big surprise. Around here things tend to be a big surprise if you don't let people know it's coming."

Paralegal salaries should also be increased, said Dewhurst. Currently, the paralegal is paid $34,036 and Dewhurst would like to bump her pay to $36,036. Commissioners are recommending $34,660.

The office administrator, who is also a paralegal, is being paid too little, said Dewhurst. Currently she makes $39,653. Dewhurst is asking to increase her salary to $41,653. The commission recommends $40,277.

Further, Dewhurst is asking for the office staff to become salaried positions.

"These people are our only two support staff," said Dewhurst. "If we lose one of them it's a tremendus deficit to the office and to the adminstration of cases. These people have been with the office for a good number of years."

Commission chairman David Sorensen agreed with Dewhurst that the county attorney's office has high turnover because of low salaries.

"We're losing good people as assistant attorneys," said Sorensen.

The commission is investigating whether the county attorney office staff can be made into salaried positions so the county can avoid paying overtime.

Rep. Chris Alhgren (R-Wolfeboro) suggested it would be equitable to pay the staff more if they will end up working more than 40 hours.

Victim witness director Melissa Smith is hoping her salary will increase this year. Smith has worked for the county for about nine years and has been the director of the victim witness program for five years.

Last year, she asked the delegation to bump her salary from about $38,400 to $43,000. At the time, Smith said even with the raise she'd still be the lowest paid victim witness advocate in New Hampshire. The delegation didn't give the full raise but they did increase her salary to $39,188.

By the room * By the hour * By the project

This year Smith is asking for $43,000 and says even if the raise is granted she would still be the lowest paid victim witness advocate in the state. Last year, Smith served 387 crime victims, of which 102 were victims of violent crime and 84 were children.

"I'm asking that my salary be relatively competitive with what other counties are paying people who do the work that I do," said Smith. "I asked for this last year and you told me to come back in a year. I'm here with the same number."

Rep. Frank McCarthy (R-Conway) would support a pay increase for Smith.

He said the county's pay scale priorities are "all mixed up." He wondered why the county commission hasn't supported Smith more aggressively.

Soresnen said there are other employees who deserve significant raises but the commissioners have decided to give most employees, includ-

ing Smith, a 30-cent-per-hour raise.

Only four employees are slated to get more than that — three are assistant county attornys and the other person is the superintendent of the jail.

"Where do we stop giving raises?"

Sorensen wondered.

At a recent meeting the delegation questioned Dewhurst's proposed raise "It appears the county attorney is also requesting a salary increase for himself?" questioned Re. Karen Umberger (R-Conway).

Lawmakers said the salaries for elected officials are set later in the spring before candidates file for the positions.

"When I came here I gave up my benefits to make this budget work," said Dewhurst. "It's very important we stay on budget. That's one of the reasons why I ran for county attorney. I'm just trying to make sure we get through this as painlessly as possible."

Eagles are focused on the finals

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — “Focused” is the word Coach Michael Lane is using to describe his Kennett High ice hockey team on the eve of the Division III State Championship.

The top seeded Eagles will meet No. 2 ranked Alvirne for the title at 12:15 p.m. in the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester today.

The game may be the toughest ticket in town in recent years. The Eagles are making their fifth straight appearance in the finals but yesterday marked the first time advance ticket sales at the school have sold out.

“They sold like hotcakes,” Sherry “YaYa” Ward said yesterday morning.

“Everyone wants to see this same. We sold a lot more of them than for any other (championship game).

Fear not, plenty of tickets will still be available at the Verizon. Tickets are $6 for students/children and $8 for adults.

It should be quite a game.

“Two teams 19-1, it doesn’t get much better than that,” Lane said.

Kennett beat Alvirne on the road 3-2 on Feb. 15 in the lone regular season meeting.

Kennett, which is now 157-44-6 as a varsity program, set a new Division III record by advancing to the championship game for the fifth straight year. The Eagles can match Souhegan with a win Saturday for most all-time titles. KHS is 2-4 in championship games.

“We definitely hope to improve on our finals record this Saturday,” Lane said Wednesday with a grin.

Members of the Kennett High hockey team are seniors Johnny Bishop, Matt Kelly, Chris King, Gabe Lee, Kevin Murphy, Cody Richard and Dan Rivera; juniors James Gallo, Anthony LaRusso, Nick Massa, Dillon Smith, Nathaniel Swift and Connor Todd; sophomores Brad Canavari, Michael Ellison and Dane Rivera; and freshmen Bobby Davis, Josh Kondrat

and Robert Moody along with coaches Justin Frechette, Todd Frechette and Michael Lane; trainer Andy Trowbridge; and team managers Austin Hale and Reilly Murphy.

“I really like this team,” Neal Moylan, school principal, said, Friday.

“Not only are they such good competitors but they’re all tremendous, tremendous young men.”

Lane said the Eagles had “a fantastic” practice on Thursday. The team donned sweatpants an sweatshirts for the entire session in an effort to try to duplicate the warm conditions they’ll encounter in Manchester.

“The kids complained a lot, like they always do,” Lane said laughing. “The kids are really focused though, they’re ready to go.”

Kennett and Alvirne will be the second of four state championship games to be decided Saturday. Top seeded Lebanon (15-1) will meet No. 2 Hanover (14-2) in the girls championship game at 10 a.m. The two schools split their meetings during the season with each winning at home.

No. 1 Bedford (14-3, who Kennett beat this winter) will play No. 3 Dover (12-5) in the Division II finals at 2:30 p.m. Bedford beat Dover 2-0 in the lone meeting on Jan. 28 in Dover.

Top ranked Pinkerton Academy (16-2) will play No. 2 Manchester Memorial (14-4) in the final game of the day at 4:30 p.m. Pinkerton won the long meeting 4-3 at home on Feb. 18.

“They used to rotate the playing time, but I kind of like playing at noon,” Lane said. “We know we’ll have fresh ice and that makes a difference.

The ice was very choppy even after the first game at the Everett Arena (in Concord) Wednesday night.”

Directions to the Verizon, coming from the north, are: Take I-93 South to Route 293. Take Exit 5 (Granite Street/Downtown). Turn left at the bottom of the ramp. Go through four lights and the arena will be on the right.If you can’t make it to the game.

DIGEST OF STORIES IN THE SUN THIS WEEK

Saturday, March 3 * The late Harvey Dow Gibson, a banker, financier and ski-area developer, left a legacy that Mount Washington Valley is still enjoying. This weekend, the New England Ski Museum's 16th Schneider Cup celebrates the contributions of Gibson and many others who enriched local ski history. * Michael DiGregorio, who had indicated previously that he would not run for re-election as Conway selectman, signs up for another term on the final day of candidate filing period. * Freedom fire chief Gene Doe is placed on paid administrative leave, and Justin Brooks is named acting chief. * Conway police are asking the community's help locating a missing 17-year-old Kennett student, Dalton J. Blake.

Do you support allocating town tax dollars to help fund the Blue Loon transit service?

Voters in 12 Carroll County towns will be asked at their respective town meetings to allocate $3,000 for the county’s Blue Loon transit service. Officials in seven of those towns, including Conway, oppose the request. Conway budget committee member Karen Umberger said the buses seem to be running with few if any passengers. “Why should I support something that’s not doing anything for the town?” she said. But Albany selectman Jack Rose, who sits on the advisory board that oversees the bus system, says Blue Loon has given 3,500 rides in Conway — the most of any community it serves. “For Conway not to support this bus system is absolutely ridiculous,” Rose said. Towns supporting the Blue Loon funding request include Albany, Moultonborough, Ossipee, Wolfeboro and Tuftonboro. “It wasn’t even controversial here,” said Wolfeboro town manager David Owen. Local funding support is critical for the Blue Loon operation. Beverly Raymond, director, says the Blue Loon gets federal funding but needs local matches to cover expenses.

“Unless there was funding from someplace else, we wouldn’t have enough funds to continue operating,” Raymond said. “The majority of the time, all funding we receive requires some local funds to supplement the operations.” Town dollars would help fund Blue Loon’s dial-a-ride service. The county is being asked for $15,000 for a flex-route service between Wolfeboro and Conway and between Ossipee and Laconia. Bartlett selectman and state representative Gene Chandler says Blue Loon should pursue funding from the towns or the county, but not both.

This week’s question is: Do you support allocating town tax dollars to help fund the Blue Loon transit service?

The budget and other articles now go to a ballot vote in April. * Police say the missing 17-year-old Kennett High student they are looking for is likely a runaway. * A Conway man, Thomas Heath, 21, is arrested for allegedly running a marijuana-growing operation on the Kancamagus Highway. * Warrant articles looking to radically change the Conway budget committee are legal but not clear cut, town attorney Peter Malia tells selectmen. * Kennett High hockey team advances to the final four in the Division III state playoffs.

Wednesday, March 7 * Pepper spray is used in an armed robbery at Upton & Hatfield law offices Tuesday afternoon. A secretary at the law firm and a client are taken to the hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries. The suspect is still at large. Police do not believe the robbery was random. "It appears it was a targeted robbery," says police chief Ed Wagner. see DIGEST page 8

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

1-800-539-3450

The Lessons So Far Some presidential candidates surge toward a nomination; some sneak up upon a nomination in the dead of night. Former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, believing his hour has come round at last, at best seems to be slouching toward the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

With a mixed result on Super Tuesday, Romney once again has missed an opportunity to put away the race, perhaps even to wrap up the nomination.

And there are dangers ahead. Alabama, Mississippi and Missouri vote next week, and they are by no means natural Romney territory. But despite Tuesday night's muddled finish, Romney remains in the best position eventually to capture the GOP prize.

"I've listened, and I've learned," he said from his Boston headquarters Tuesday night.

And it is after mega-contests like the 10 conducted Tuesday that candidates girding for a long struggle often pause for introspection. If Romney does so, perhaps he might reflect on what he has learned thus far, not from the states he has won and lost, but from the rivals who have remained with him in the race: * What Romney can learn from Rick Santorum No major figure on the American political scene has been as far down as Santorum, who lost his own re-election battle by 18 points six years ago, used his wilderness years to make money and build connections, and finally began a presidential campaign that optimists called a long shot and realists called loony.

But with grit and creativity — and not inconsiderable study, especially in foreign affairs — the Pennsylvanian battled back, probing the established candidates for weaknesses, searching the political scene for openings. He visited all 99 counties of Iowa, a quixotic mission reminiscent of Richard Nixon's doomed 1960 promise to visit all 50 states.

But for Santorum that voyage underlined his resilience and established his reach.

Santorum, victor Tuesday night in North Dakota, Oklahoma and Tennessee, proved that a consistent message, repeated consistently, is a potent political weapon.

Unlike Romney, who is accused of changing his positions the way he changes campaign vestments, Santorum generally has avoided trimming his positions to the fashions of the seasons.

Even his greatest detractors, and Santorum's detractors have deeper antipathy for him than critics do for any Republican in the field, would acknowledge that he is the Bartleby the Scrivener of the race, the figure from Herman Melville who would not go away and who would repeatedly offer the same riposte: "I would prefer not to." If the GOP race were decided by pure determination, Santorum would be the nominee by acclimation. * What Romney can learn from Ron Paul If Santorum is Bartleby, then Paul, the Texas congressman, is Aram Khachaturian, whose "Sabre Dance" from the 1942 ballet "Gayane," opens with 24 F-sharps in a row, a theme which is then repeated immediately, then transposed up a minor third for another iteration, which itself is also repeated.

For decades Paul, an obstetrician drawn into the political world, has expressed his impatience with the Federal Reserve, his skepticism of an interventionist foreign policy and his opposition to an intrusive government.

Romney's position on abortion, by contrast, dates to 2006, the same year Massachusetts, under his

leadership, passed a health care plan that Obama administration officials say was the model for the health care plan Romney so ardently opposes.

But Paul's most compelling attribute is his frankness and his courage. He is willing to take the unpopular position and make the unpopular statement.

Republicans and Democrats alike were attracted to Sen. John McCain of Arizona in the best days of his Straight Talk Express campaign a dozen years ago, not because they necessarily agreed with his views, but because they admired his forthrightness and his readiness to break from orthodoxy. Romney has shown neither the instinct nor inclination to do so. * What Romney can learn from Newt Gingrich The former speaker has many flaws as a presidential candidate, but a lack of passion and a deficit of intelligence are not among them. In debates, in interviews and on the stump, Gingrich is passion personified, and his raw, sometimes unrefined intelligence was on display Tuesday night after winning Georgia.

That isn't what won him the primary; his roots in the state did that. But it's what kept him in the race, kept him going when all the smart people pronounced him a loser and a goner.

No one since John F. Kennedy has used presidential debates so artfully, and while Kennedy projected cool intelligence, Gingrich erupted with hot, intense acuity.

Moreover, Gingrich is the only candidate in the field who shows any joy in the process — not the politics of joy that Hubert H. Humphrey displayed in 1968, another fraught time, but a joy in exploring topics and themes that engaged his imagination, like space flight or zoos. Whether frightened by his zeal or fascinated by his effervescence, viewers and voters simply could not take their eyes off him. * What Romney can learn from Mitt Romney This is the hardest one.

The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll showed that Romney holds a strong advantage over Santorum in being knowledgeable and experienced enough to handle the presidency.

The results Tuesday night showed that Romney has the capacity to project strength nationally, not just regionally — though the South remains a bafflingly elusive prize.

But what eludes Romney is a sense of ease and confidence. Instead, he seems tentative, awkward even, the prisoner of two terrifying truths — on the one hand that he is too scripted, and on the other that once he veers from the libretto he becomes a comic-opera figure spewing political malaprops, mostly about his wealth.

Romney can do almost nothing about Santorum's advantage, according to the Journal/NBC poll, in being a reliable conservative, and he can perhaps do little about another Santorum advantage, caring about average people.

But if he shows he is comfortable with himself, he might go a long way toward making others feel comfortable with him. It's the only attribute in politics that is contagious, and Romney still needs to catch it — and spread it.

Lucky to say North Conway is home town To the editor: My Name is Stuart Wolf, many of you know me as the Kmart manager at Mountain Valley Mall, 1988-2000.

We were in town Saturday night (March 3), as my son Stephen was playing in the NHIAA hockey playoff game , Somersworth vs. Kennett.

Stephen was born right in North Conway but we moved to Somersworth in 2000, when I took over the Kmart in Portsmouth.

Stephen got hit pretty hard Saturday night in the third period, and needed medical attention. He was attended to by the Kennett and Ham Arena medical staff along with Conway Fire and Rescue. He was transported to the hospital by Dave Weathers — our boys grew up together — and Dave came back to check on him. Darryl Umlah – our kids grew up together — called the hospital to make sure Stephen was OK. Kennett’s medical staff stayed at the hospi-

tal until almost midnight to make sure Stephen was OK. Well Stephen is fine, but I know he feels lucky to be able to always say his home town is North Conway.

We lost the game to a fine Kennett Hockey team, which I know will make the town proud.

I feel lucky to see so many familiar faces when we have come back to town: Mike King, who sold me Pepsi for years, and our kids were in pre-school together; Chief Richard, his son Cody and my son Stephen were also Little Eagles pre schoolers; Mike Lane, Kennett coach, who is still in contact with my older son Phil, and who Stephen watched play his youth hockey; Darryl Umlah, from Ham Arena, who put up a cobble stone on the wall in the arena, to honor my wife Patty when he found out she had passed away in 2003. Thank You. Stuart Wolf Somersworth

Tamworth voters: Review studies closely To the editor: We ask the voters of Tamworth to read page 17 of the Capitol Improvement Report at www. tamworthnh.org/annrpts. html. Click on report 2011 under planning board. This explains the ‘build-out” analysis of the town.

As we perceive it, this $12,500 study appears to be no more than another “back-door approach” to zoning and/or land conservation, which removes land from the tax rolls and governs land use.

In addition, the selectmen ask us to approve funding

the planning board’s $9,000 “legal fund” so they can continue to fight the directives of the people. After at least three “no” votes on zoning, apparently there is still some part of “NO” they don’t understand.

We find it insulting that we, the taxpayers, are being asked to fund $20,000 worth of studies that could be used to go against the wishes of the people.

Voters in Tamworth should review these “studies” very closly before approving them.

I want to improve decisions that affect our children To the editor: My name is Brandon Knox and I am running for the one year term on the Freedom School Board.

I’m running for office because I want to assist and help to further improve the ideas and decisions that can affect our children.

I would bring to the position honesty, hard work, knowledge, educational experience of 23 years, open mind, common sense, dependability, and trust.

Financially our town, like many, has struggles. Yet, it is important to continue to give our children the best possible education that we can.

By trying to look at ways to re-figure finances, we, (townspeople) may have ideas that do not take items from our children and still deliver the education they need and the money that our town can afford.

Clear communication is another area that the board has started heading towards over the past year. In order to continue to make headway in this area, I feel that it is imperative to maintain that the board should be as transparent as it can be. All boards should take this stance in order to show how hard it is working, what differences they are making, and that all of the information decided upon/in the making of a decision, can be viewed by all.

The possibility of Madison Elementary School pulling out of the district and rejoining SAU 9 is another major challenge. If this happens, not that it can cause harm, but

it would be a concern to many as to what affect(s) it may have on the Freedom and Tamworth Schools.

It is important for me to see that the board takes a strong look at how to help all members involved. The board, along with the educators, the townspeople, and outlying communities, need to look at what the best plans of action may be. The communication with others can tighten the bond between all individuals and with other communities. I would want to discuss concerns with people and see what ideas they may have.

To view an individual’s concerns are great, yet, for myself, I want to talk with others that can also express what positive change they feel would make a difference.

A little bit about me: I hold a bachelor’s degree in education have been an educator for 23 years and a coach for 30 years. Working in the school system, I have been a Civil Rights advisor for eight years, a peer leader coordinator for 10 years a team leader at two schools for four years a negotiator for two schools (one year each). In addition I have been the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Mathathon Coordinator for 18 years, the recreation director for the towns of Madison and Parsonsfield, Maine, each for four years. I am also a parent; my wife and I have four children.

I hope you will consider giving me your vote on March 13.

Alex Cook fits qualities elected official should have To the editor: Why does someone run for an elected position? As voters, with the responsibility to choose our representatives, it is often hard to know; especially if we do not know the candidate personally. As one voter, I look for someone I believe is willing to serve the whole community.

Someone I believe is honest, unbiased, with no hidden agenda and is fiscally responsible. All towns have many positions which need to be filled and often times not enough people willing to fill them. Many are highly publicized and hotly contested, some are not. One such position is cemetery trustee. In Tamworth, this is a position newly created by our selectmen. In the past, cemetery trustee was part of our trustees for trust funds. Although cemetery trustee is not a position most people know about or seek out, it is one which requires the handling of funds which voters appro-

priate and leave to our selectmen to see that the trustees expend that money for said purposes.

One of the candidates for this new position is Alex Cook. I believe Alex fits the qualities I feel any elected official should have. She has served our community several times in the past; including a trustee of trust funds and does not hold multiple elected positions.

As a trustee of trust funds she has the experience and knowledge of this position. As a member of the Tamworth Guild, she led the effort to raise funds for the preservation of headstones. Her interest in preserving our cemeteries has been known for several years. I am asking the residents of Tamworth to join me and vote for Alex Cook as our representative on the board of cemetery trustees.

Willie Farnum has experience and fiscal responsibility To the editor: I’m voting for Willie for selectman.

I’m voting for experience. I’m voting for fiscal responsibility. I’m voting for a proven record of reducing town budgets, starting from before he was ever elected selectman. I’m voting for accountability. I’m voting for some-

one who has been serving Tamworth, as a volunteer and an elected official, his whole life. I’m voting for someone whose record we already know.

I’m voting for Willie Farnum for Tamworth selectman.

County should have a community transportation To the editor: I have heard much talk about the Blue Loon transit system and why Carroll County should not have it.

I’d like to explain why I feel they should.

Not being a resident of Carroll County it probably shouldn’t matter to me if there is a community transportation service or not. My elderly relatives and handicapped and low income friends and family primarily live in Coos County and have access to affordable community transportation.

Yes, they do pay their federal, state, and local taxes and it’s nice to know some of those dollars are coming back into their communities and not going to other communities to fund a service unavailable to them. Yes, we do ask towns to support the service by funding a small portion to help match the federal and state dollars, and those local dollars are 100 percent utilized to run the service.

Our request to towns in all the counties we serve is only a few thousand dollars, usually amounting to less than a quarter a year for each resident, yet when the service is needed the payback is plentiful. Car-

roll is the only county in New Hampshire without this service. I guess we could thank those in Carroll County who do not want it. It leaves more money for other counties to operate and grow their systems for their residents, like we have done between Coos and northern Grafton County.

These counties like having available the daily service and also accessible vehicles and trained staff that work regularly with nursing homes, hospitals, police and fire departments on emergency preparedness in the event of an evacuation or disaster. It is a great draw for economic development because businesses need a way for employees to get to work. And, it is nice to know there is a system in place to provide service for the upcoming Baby Boomer generation.

I encourage residents who want or need this service to get in touch with your town and county representatives. With that said, those are some of the reasons I think Carroll County should have a community transportation system.

Time for a breath of fresh air in selectmen’s office To the editor: In response to Ms. Timchak’s letter on March 7: During Mr. Farnum’s tenure as selectman, he has helped the town of Tamworth save money in certain areas. Hopefully some of those savings have gone to help offset the ever-rising legal fees the town has incurred while Mr. Farnum has been in office (and that’s not even taking into account the money it cost the town when Mr. Farnum sued the board of selectman before he was elected).

In his six years on the board, Mr. Farnum’s vocal support of the special interest group FOCUS has cost the town money and the respect of our neighbors. From the outside looking in, Tamworth has become a town derided for its small-mindedness and opposition to change or growth.

Mr. Farnum and his FOCUS group supporters are directly responsible for this. The acrimony and divisiveness have grown almost as alarmingly as our legal fees (closing in on almost $250,000 under Selectman Farnum). Mr. Farnum’s quote at the Tamworth Candidates Night a few days ago underscores this divisive-

ness, saying “You can’t make everybody happy. I’ve often said if you are making 25 percent of the people happy you are probably doing well.

50 percent of the people probably don’t know what’s going on.”

Half of Tamworth doesn’t know what’s going on? It’s time for a breath of fresh air. Someone who can help restore the small-town quality of life that Tamworth once knew. Someone who will let everyone in town feel like they have a voice. Like they are welcome to come to the selectmen’s meetings and have civil discussions and they will be heard, their concerns will be addressed.

There are far too many residents who feel they have no voice. It’s time for this to stop. It’s time for a change. It’s time for all Tamworth residents to be heard and that can only happen if we get out to vote on March 13. Voting will be at the Town House from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and you can sign up at the polls if you’re not registered. Please make your voice heard on March 13 and help ensure that you will have a voice in Tamworth for years to come.

Apologies to Farnum for criticism without all the facts To the editor: First and foremost, thank you John Wheeler for setting my implications straight in regards to my letter of Feb. 15.

Second and more important, humble apologies to Willie Farnum for criticiz-

ing you without knowing all the facts.

It rightfully came back and bit me in the rear. A lesson well learned.

P.S. Crow doesn’t taste good, I ordered it thought, so I’ll eat it.

LETTERS

Vote down Article 3 to protect the value of our property To the editor: After reading the letter submitted by John Collins of Jackson, I felt compelled to respond. As a former member of the ZBA, I take issue with Mr. Collins’ comments. One of the most challenging things on participating in town government is the learning curve. Many join boards with little to no knowledge of rules and regulations. I was amazed at how much Frank Benesh brought to the table as new chairman of the ZBA. He had pretty much memorized all the zoning regulations. He was very thoughtful and fair with every case we heard. I continually asked him if he would run for selectman because he was so impressive on the zoning board of adjustment. We would be really lucky to have him as a selectman.

I also take issue with the misinformation in Mr. Collins’ letter about Article 3. According to the voter list, Mr. Collins has the same address as Holly Lewis in Jackson. The town has been involved in a multi-year battle with her over numerous building violations including her refusal to allow routine safety inspections.

As a member of the zoning board of adjustment I am very familiar with this case. We read nearly a hundred pages of Ms. Lewis’ contradictory statements and cover ups. She was denied another building permit and the town moved forward with court action. When Jerry Dougherty became selectman he made it a personal crusade to drop the case against her which violated town regulations then in place. I did not get a satisfactory answer from him

on why he was fighting for someone who broke the law by continuing to build without a building permit, which I personally witnessed and reported. Mr. Dougherty has taken up this fight to abolish inspections and building permits. Many of us in the building business find this direction horrifying. New Hampshire is a state where building contractors are not required to be licensed. We desperately need these safeguards.

The truth is, Mr. Collins and Ms. Lewis were given a year by the current board of selectmen to comply.

This never should have happened.

They would be off the hook entirely if the town decided to get rid of inspections and permits. He kind of left all this stuff out of his letter. The town of Jackson should be able to recoup the thousands of dollars this case cost the taxpayers. In addition, we have the right to know how much Mr. Dougherty has cost us in legal fees in trying to get the case dropped. For those of us who have complied with the few rules we do have, this is grossly unfair.

I urge the voters in Jackson to pay more attention to what is going on.

All the boards post meeting minutes on Jackson enews. I’ve spoken to some who signed the petition supporting warrant Article 3 because they were told it was to “make it more legal.” Not true. I believe we should vote down Article 3 to protect the value of our property. Inspections are a life and safety issue. Getting rid of them is irresponsible and I can’t believe we’re even having this argument.

Lisa MacAllister Jackson

I pledge to use technology to improve communication To the editor: It was great to see such a large turnout at the Bartlett school meeting the other night regardless of how you voted on the teachers raises. I hope we have an even larger turnout on March 13 when we elect our town leaders. In 2011, 400 people decided who would replace Mr. Tanguay on the board of selectmen. This year I’d like to see a greater number of citizens make their voices heard on who they would like to lead Bartlett forward.

I pledge to use technology to improve communication between town hall and the citizens and businesses in the community and it is my hope that this will encourage more residents to become involved in town government.

I will also work with the sitting selectmen to plan for future expenses that we know will be coming up at some point, whether its a new police cruiser, a fire truck or a revaluation.

I don’t think its financially responsible to act as though these things will never have to be done or replaced and then have to borrow the entire cost.

On town election day I ask for you’re support whether you’re young or old, life long resident or recent transplant, liberal or conservative. None of those things matter as much as all of us doing whatever it is that we can to keep Bartlett the great place we all enjoy living in.

Erik Corbett Glen

Trying to get building code compliance for safety’s sake To the editor: There have been a number of misleading statements made regarding Article 3 on Jackson’s Ballot. A “yes” vote does not mean that you oppose building codes or enforcement of our zoning ordinance. It only means that you support it being done properly.

We would still issue building permits to ensure compliance with zoning enforced by our building inspector.

Our fire inspector would still be able to inspect buildings for safety.

For the safety of homes built in Jackson I have been trying to provide compliance with the state building code.

The way we are currently doing it is not in accordance with state law. The only way to become compliant with the state building code is for the planning board to bring forth an amendment to the zoning ordinance for you, the voters, to approve by ballot at our annual town meeting. That did not happen this year.

I again ask the planning board to work over this year to present a clear and law-abiding process. Only then can we really assure that people’s homes are built safely.

Jerry Dougherty Jackson

Garland committed to Bartlett, his service is needed To the editor: I am writing in support of Doug Garland for Selectman in Bartlett.

I have known Doug as a friend and neighbor for about 30 years. I consider Doug to be one of the most honest, intelligent, straightforward, and trustworthy people I know. On a professional level, I have served on the same planning board with Doug for many years. As the representative for the selectmen’s office on our board he provides a very important perspective. Not only is Doug very knowledgeable regarding the laws by which we function as a board and how they intersect with those pertaining to the Office of Selectmen, he also has a wealth of historical knowledge about the town of Bartlett. The fact that he comes from a multi-generational family within our town is important. He can remember what the town was like years ago and how it has changed over time. If there are things we are uncertain about, Doug is always willing to help research the laws and bring that information back to the group. He is passionate about his town and works tirelessly to fulfill his obligations to our board and to the board of selectmen.

One thing people need to know about the planning board is that we have three main functions. The first is to interpret and abide by the master plan and zoning ordinances that were approved by the townspeople. These rules were developed because the townspeople wanted to maintain the rural environment that we live in. Without passing judgment on others, the townspeople of

Bartlett have voted time and again to express that we like Bartlett the way it is, and do not seek to model our town after any other. The second function is to assist individuals who wish to develop or change the use of their properties. We listen to what they want to do and determine if these actions are allowed within the parameters of our ordinances. If the action is allowed, fine. If not, it just cannot be done. It is difficult to say no at times because the request may seem very reasonable, but we have to stay true to the rules. We have to treat everyone the same. The third function is planning for the future.

Times do change, as do the needs and wishes of our town population.

We continually review the ordinances to determine if changes are needed to keep up with the times and wishes of the people. When the board agrees that the laws should be amended, we put the question to the townspeople. This is a slow process, but a good one, because we want to make the right decisions that will benefit the town for years to come.

Doug Garland is deeply committed to the town of Bartlett. He represents our town in an honorable manner, not for his own sake, but for the sake of all of us. I believe his service to our town has been commendable and is still very much needed.

I can’t think of another person who could replace the skills and dedication that he offers us. I hope that, as in the past, we will once again elect Doug as our selectman.

Brenda Monahan Bartlett

It time for a young, intelligent alternative to Farnum To the editor: I’m happy to see that we finally have a breath of fresh air running for town selectman in Tamworth.

Jim Hidden is not only young and refreshing ( he’s also handsome ).

All kidding aside, I think it’s time for a new, young and intelligent alternative to the old “my way or the highway” attitude of the incumbent, Willie Farnum. Farnum has done nothing short of breaking his arm patting himself on the back. He claims to have done all kinds of good things in town, while the taxpayers of Tamworth foot the bill for his failures. Willie has cost us all hundreds of thousands in legal fees, with the goal of keeping jobs out of town. He’s brought the wrath of the American’s With Disabilities Act’s lawyers and fees upon the town. His idea of economic development is to give us a another place to drink beer with his friend at the “Lyceum.” Willie’s economic development council couldn’t even organize a family picnic, never mind bring much needed jobs to Tamworth. Willie couldn’t even offer town support to bring high speed wireless Internet to the corners of town not served by the cable company, a situation that exists due to

the lousy contract the town “fathers” signed with them.

The icing on this cake was his comments made during the “meet the candidates night.” Willie apparently feels that only 25 percent of the residents of Tamworth are worth his efforts. He should have stopped there, but was compelled to express his stupefying arrogance by stating that 50 percent of the town doesn’t know what’s going on and the rest don’t care.

I feel that Jim Hidden will try to concern himself with 100 percent of the residents of Tamworth. It’s refreshing to hear from a candidate that doesn’t care about FOCUS or CMI, but cares about the future of a town that’s raised generations of his family and will see many more. It’s time for the residents of Tamworth to ask themselves, are we better off after six years of Willie’s reign or is it time for something else. With things the way are, economically, can we afford three more years of paying for Farnum’s mistakes?

If you prefer to be ruled, vote Farnum. If you want to be represented, join me in voting for Jim Hidden.

First-responder Ed Minyard shares tales from the ‘Heart of Chaos’ in new book

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Some people thrive in challenging circumstances.

First responder, military veteran — and now author — Ed Minyard, of Intervale, is one of them.

Post 9/11 New York. Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Gustav, Ike and Irene. Mexico City during the outbreak of the H1N1 virus. The gulf oil spill. Japan, after the 9.0 magnitude earthquake last March 11 that triggered a deadly 23-foot tsunami and damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

Minyard and his private ResponseForce1 team have helped out after all of those disasters, and now he's written a book about them all, “After Disaster: An Insider's Perspective from the Heart of Chaos” (Dog Ear Publishing, www.afterdisasterbook.com).

The book not only recounts Minyard's experiences, but also offers critiques of what could have been done better and the lessons learned.

As he notes in the book's introduction, “Since 9/11 I have regularly found myself in the middle of disasters, looking out from the heart of chaos.

Every major disaster to strike on or near the North American continent in the past 10 years has drawn me to it.”

A former U.S. Army Ranger and helicopter pilot, Minyard was born in Gadsen, Ala. After leaving the Army in 1970, he obtained his bachelor's in business administration from Western Illinois see next page

Former U.S. Army Ranger Ed Minyard of Intervale says there is no substitute for disaster preparedness. In his new book, he outlines many of the lessons he has learned from a decade of responding to disasters, including the 2010 Haiti earthquake (above). (COURTESY OF ED MINYARD)

University. He married local Realtor Joy Tarbell in 2006, and has lived in Intervale ever since.

When he's not responding to disasters in some part of the world, he does emergency preparedness consulting and is a public speaker. He also devotes time to songwriting and playing guitar at his home studio.

He says he responds because he knows he can help.

“When bad things happen,” he writes, “I have an overwhelming compulsion to get involved — to engage. I need to do something and simply cannot sit and watch from the sidelines. Along with this irresistible desire to act, I have fortunately acquired relevant skills that have allowed me to provide meaningful services. Some of these skills are technical in nature — telecommunications, information technology and computers. Others are more real-world, practical skills — electrician, carpenter, mason and grunt laborer. Most, however, fall into the category of collective life experiences — military service, woodsman, hunter and helicopter pilot.

“The situations I've experienced from the inside,” writes Minyard, “have been fascinating, by any measure, requiring physical strength, emotional courage, and seat-ofthe-pants tenacity that had been previously untapped — all qualities that most of us hold in reserve, but seldom venture to employ.” see next page

Anniversary of Japan tsunami: A Q&A with Ed Minyard

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Leading up to Sunday's first anniversary of the March 11 Japanese earthquake, tsunami

from preceding page

He takes readers behind the scenes, showing them through the use of facts, figures, photos and anecdotes what he saw first-hand. As he writes, “I promise you, CNN never showed you or told you much of what” readers will find in the book.

He expresses his disappointment, for example, with then New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin for his handling of the Katrina crisis, and notes that Nagin left the city six days after the storm “for a while” to go to Dallas, leaving his deputy mayor and chief legal counsel in charge.

“By contrast,” writes Minyard on Page 67, “Rudi Giuliani led from the front during and after 9/11. On a day-to-day basis, nobody knew where Ray Nagin was (the running joke was 'Where's Waldo?'), but what we knew for sure was that he was not in front of the Emergency Operations Center every morning, giving statements about what was going on in the city, updating the population and the responders with a visible leadership presence. His failure to show up in that EOC just wasn't right, and he lost a lot of respect in the responder community for that very reason. On a personal level, I like Ray Nagin and consider him a friend. He won't like my comments here, but the fact is he did not demonstrate the kind of lead-

and nuclear plant radiation exposure, author and first-responder Ed Minyard, 60, of Intervale stopped by the Met in North Conway for an interview about his work and his recently selfsee next page

ership demanded by that challenging situation at the time.”

Cool resolve needed He writes that “calm under fire” is a critical personality trait of disaster response and recovery. “I discovered I possessed that trait when I was in the U.S. Army,” writes Minyard. “The crazier things got in crisis situations, the calmer I became, allowing me to see clearly the best solutions.”

He says when first responders travel into an impacted region, they are not emotionally involved. “Well,” he writes, “not totally so. It's impossible to see the things we see and not feel the pain of human suffering and loss. But it's different when it isn't your city, your constituents and your friends and family. We re able to make use of that 'calm under fire' gained from past experiences, suck it up and apply a process-driven approach to accomplishing the mission.”

As for the book's lessons?

“There's no value in getting an education and never putting it to use. Therefore, what I've learned and share in this book is offered as both dire warning and terrible example,” he writes, adding that he hopes readers will get involved in their own communities, and that after reading the stories, they will “come to understand the importance of disaster preparedness.

"I'll be in the middle regardless,” he adds, “looking out.”

published book, “After Disaster: An Insider's Perspective from the Heart of Chaos� (Dog Ear Publishing, www.afterdisasterbook.com).

He made the stop in between book signings elsewhere in the country that were lined up by Dog Ear Publishing, including at North Conway's White Birch Books last week.

In the book, and in the interview at the Met, Minyard shared some of the lessons of these disasters, pointing out the potential dangers of being unprepared.

Q: How did the book come about?

Ed Minyard: All along, I was writing articles and doing speaking engagements and keeping notes. I was published in the Chicago Tribune op ed sections and in several trade magazines. I wrote not only about the criticism [of the responses the challenges to the disasters], but the lessons learned about preparedness.

Q: What was your goal?

EM: I wanted to educate people through the use of anecdotes and examples. To show them from the inside perspective the kinds of things that really go on. When you go through these things, there are many great lessons to be learned.

Sadly, people are still doing things the same: we have a very short memory for collective pain.

After Katrina, for instance, my team was instrumental in developing a city-assisted evacuation plan so that the 40,000 residents of the city of New Orleans can get out of town.

We did that in 2006 with a drill under the watchful eye of Homeland Security, using 300 volunteers. Through the proper application of brute force, it worked — we saw some elements that needed repair. And then,

almost three years to the day, along comes Gustav, and it was the first time the plan was implemented. I took 10 of our key team members who were with me for Katrina, and we went back purely as volunteers.

We implemented the plan — but the problem is the hurricane [Gustav] went around the city of New Orleans after the mandatory evacuation of the low-lying parishes.

So the next storm the question

will be: Considering the time line to get out, will the people leave, or will they be insensitized and stay? You run the risk of overhyping the situation.

Two candidates for one selectman's seat in Jackson

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

JACKSON — Voters will have one contested race on the town and school ballot when they head to the polls on Tuesday — electing one three-year member to the board of selectmen.

Voting is at the Whitney Center from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. this Tuesday.

Residents Frank Benesh and Bob Thompson are both vying for the seat

from preceding page

EM: Had a major Category 3 storm come in, it would have been an entirely different scenario. Were a 20-foot storm surge to come in, it would be 10 feet over the top of Wall Street — Katrina had a storm surge of 35 feet [in New Orleans]. It would have flooded all bridges and tunnels.

So if you didn't start at least 48 hours out [there would be trouble]. Thankfully, this 'epic storm' lost most of its punch before landfall in New York City But was the city really ready? In my professional opinion, no.

Q: How did you get into this type of communications work?

EM: It spun out of my information technology career — I got into cable TV and other emergency technology in the early 1970s. In the course of that, you always needed a Plan B in designing systems, what to do if it breaks.

In the military, you always had a Plan B, for instance.

that Bea Davis is vacating after six years. The candidates stated their case for voter support this week on the Jackson E-News.

The following are their profiles in their own words: FRANK BENESH I will bring to the position my record as an impartial, fair minded chairman of the board of adjustment, my record of community involvement, and my extensive management experience.

I have been a member of the board of adjustment for over five years and chairman since 2008. This board hears appeals from certain decisions of the board of selectmen and requests for variances. Under my leadership, this quasi-judicial board has worked hard to be impartial and fair minded – and close observers know we have at times supported and other times reversed the selectmen. Others in the community with clear agendas have

at times supported and at times disagreed with our decisions — clear evidence that we have acquitted ourselves in an impartial manner.

My commitment to the community also includes membership on the town’s planning board.

I also am keenly aware that the economic base of the valley, the town’s tax base, the health of our business community and the value of our homes in

Q: How have you offered help to the Town of Conway?

EM: I offered help to the Conway fire department and emergency manager at the time in 2007 or 2008. I reiterated that during Tropical Storm Irene last fall, when I offered to sit down with Steve Solomon [the current town emergency director] as a resource.

Q: What makes a good responder, and what role does your military background play in that?

EM: The military was informative certainly and I have used skills and the mindset that sun from that, but what has made me good at what we do here is understanding the methodology for doing it right, and to have the flexibility when you need to vary that. All the experiences of life come into play at one time or another, and of being to adapt to a changing environment is what makes a person good at doing this.

Q: Tell us more about Response Force1.

EM: Our company, ResponseForce1, is a satellite communications company that gives you the capability of phone data systems via the Internet at the touch of a button. We designed it for the Port Authority of New York after 9-11. The big issues, you will remember, after 9/11, were over communications in the aftermath — the 9/11 Report focused on that most loudly.

We took that to New Orleans after Katrina [in 2005], and we also deployed it after Hurricane Gustav in Baton Rouge and Ike in Galveston, both at FEMA camps, in 2008. Then Haiti after the earthquake [January 2010] and, to the gulf oil spill [April 2010, the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history], and Japan [March 11, 2011].

We have a ready list of 500 people with the highest type of planning logistics background. When you come in with the right people, you can enhance the capabilities of your client.

It's a very strict military-like organization structure that we have.

When we started, we were the only outfit; now there are three or four response teams out there.

Q: You recount so many stories in the book. What experience stands out the most in all of your work?

EM: What comes immediately to mind is when we were in Haiti three days after the quake. We were in a Haitian dump truck, like the one that is pictured on the cover of the book.

We were totally unarmed, and they started shooting. They believed we were taking photographs and touring the zone, just looking in at their plight for our scrapbooks instead of understanding that we were there to help.

We told our Haitian driver in English to get the bleep out of Dodge.

We're fortunate we did not run over anyone.

So yeah, that was a little frightening.

Jackson are very much dependent on our role as a summer and winter resort community.

I have supported and actively involved in a variety of community groups and organizations in the valley, including Tin Mountain, volunteer trail adopter for the AMC (Avalanche Trail) and section manager for Pinkham Notch ski trails, alpine steward on Franconia Ridge – a joint U.S. Forest Service/AMC educational and conservation program, Mount Washington Observatory, and volunteer patroller for Jackson Ski Touring, timing for JSTF ski races, and New England Ski Museum/Bretton Woods marathon.

A principal role of the selectmen is their fiduciary responsibility to implement decisions made by town meeting. I bring to this job extensive business experience as an executive. I have worked over 30 years in financial services and currently manage a team of over 50 individuals on three continents. This long experience means I bring key managerial skills that are meaningful in the selectman’s role, including establishing performance plans with quantifiable metrics for individuals and departments, coaching on improving performance, training, establishing and modifying budgets to control spending, recruiting and hiring individuals from diverse backgrounds, disaster and contingency planning, ensuring compliance with laws and regulations, and developing policies and procedures.

On the same ballot, Article 3 proposes to stop enforcement of the state building codes. I will be voting no on Article 3 and fully support the continuance of enforcement of building permits and inspections in the Town of Jackson in accordance with state law.

Martha and I purchased our home in 1997 after visiting for 30 years. Before 1997 we lived in the Boston area. I have graduate degrees from MIT and BU. I ask for your vote on March 13. Thank you.

BOB THOMPSON I am running because I believe I can be an effective selectman. I believe this because during my five years of service on the Jackson School Board we found fair and cost-effective solutions to school renovation needs meeting state-mandated requirements; a moderate-sized Whitney Center on school property that has met the needs of the community as a whole with a minimal tax impact; and a tuition agreement with the high school.

Although those involved did not always agree and emotions often ran high, the process we used to reach consensus had integrity. All involved treated one another in a respectful manner, and all of see next page

Lamontagne, Smith to attend annual Lincoln Day Dinner Saturday

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

BARTLETT — The two leading party candidates for governor — Ovide Lamontagne and Kevin Smith — will headline the annual Carroll County Republican Committee's Lincoln Day Dinner this Saturday at the Grand Summit Hotel at Attitiash.

Congressman Frank Guinta is also expected to attend the dinner which features a reception at 5:30 p.m. followed by dinner at 6:30 p.m. and speakers at 7 p.m. Tickets are $45 per person.

Sixteen years ago, Lamontagne was the Republican Party nominee for governor, but was unsuccessful in his bid against Democrat Jeanne Shaheen.

He said he's learned a great deal since

from preceding page

these solutions passed with a super majority of support from voters.

I moved to Jackson as a full-time resident in 1984. I am married and have four children. I feel extremely fortunate for the outstanding educational experiences all four children have had here in Jackson. My wife and I both appreciate the supportive and healthy community structure in Jackson. I can think of nowhere else I would rather live.

In addition to my experience as a school board member, I have served on several boards and committees

then and believes he's a much stronger candidate today.

"We were all so much younger and idealistic then," he said, laughing. "I was conservative before it was cool and people know that about me. Some people said I was too conservative to win in a general election in 1996. I'm not too conservative now."

Lamontagne, an attorney in Manchester, is the past chairman of the New Hampshire State Board of Education from 1993-1996. He finished second last year in the race for U.S. Senate, narrowly falling to Kelly Ayotte.

Lamontagne and his wife Bettie reside in East Manchester, in the home he grew up in, and they have two daughters, Madeleine and Brittany. Lamontagne also owns a cabin

and five acres of land in Chatham.

From 2008 to 2011, Smith served as executive director of Cornerstone Action, a non-partisan conservative advocacy organization dedicated to the advancement of policies that promote free markets, limited government and personal responsibility in the New Hampshire State Legislature. As executive director, he grew the organization into one of the most respected advocacy organization in the state, increased revenues tenfold, and was recognized by Business NH Magazine as one of the "10 Most Influential People" in New Hampshire.

Smith, who served former Gov. Craig Benson for two years, was the governor's liaison to the executive branch department heads and the executive council, where he assisted with

appointments to executive branch boards, commissions, and departments, resides in Litchfield where he lives with his wife, Suzy, and their three children, Colby, Lindsay, and Tommy.

Raffle and Auction chairs Norman Tregenza and Joanne Haight have lined up some great items from the Ronald Regan Library and the perennial favorite moose antlers beautifully painted by Abi Marsh for Saturday night. Funds raised by the committee are used to support candidate on the county and state level as well as educational programs For reservations contact Joseph Fleck at 603-522-6741 or jflec@ roadrunner.com. Dinner choices are chicken, pot roast, salmon or vegetarian.

that have also provided insight into how groups are able to function and successfully address important and difficult issues in a respectful and civil manner. I believe it’s important to understand differing points of view as a necessary part of gaining public trust — an essential part of being effective at serving in the role of a selectman.

In my work I manage five separate budgets and work plans, and I believe my fiscal management experience is another asset I will bring to the table.

If elected to serve you as a selectman in Jackson I will commit to: • Build and maintain positive

working relationships with the other selectmen, town staff, and all involved with town government, regardless of positions on issues.

• Seek to understand all sides of issues and gather all necessary information before coming to conclusions.

• Work to find common ground where differences of opinion exist.

• Recognize as selectman I have a responsibility to conduct myself in a respectful and civil manner that will be supportive of effective and efficient town government.

• Help manage the town budget in order to continue to provide essential services and reduce

wasteful spending.

• Honoring decisions made by the town voters – the decision-making body of our town.

I will be paying close attention to the level of support several warrant articles receive this year at both the annual meeting and on voting day. If I am elected to serve as selectman, I will use outcomes from voter decisions made on March 13 and 15 to help guide me on issues coming before the selectmen in the coming year, so if you have strong feelings on this selectman’s race or any of the other issues coming before the voters, please make sure you get out and vote.

How comfortable are you on those warm snow, rutted course days?

Warm, wet snow and ski racing will always generate ruts. The following “rut facts” will hopefully help you get in a rut and maybe even like it. Even if you are not racing, these pointers may be useful on spring skiing days.

Fact 1: Whenever you have warm, wet snow, the course is going to rut up and sometimes the wet snow feels like skiing on fly paper. You need to work with the ruts (not fight them). A fresh stone grind — followed by perhaps a hotbox treatment — will give you the best chance to see RUTS page 27

Bucky Lewis at Your Theatre Saturday CONWAY — Northern comedian Bucky Lewis is scheduled to perform his one-man adult comedy show March 10 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. at Your Theatre located at 1857 White Mountain Highway, on March 9 and 10 only.

“Adult comedy nights are increasing in popularity as the economy gets tight,” Lewis said. “You can’t find a more fun way to raise money for a good cause than a night filled with laughter. It becomes a special memory.”

M&D Productions has a long history of providing top notch entertainment, as well as award winning plays and quality productions. “Bucky Lewis is no exception. He brings a standard of entertainment that we enjoy sharing with our audiences,” Mark DeLancey, executive director, said. “His adult

comedy is fresh and inviting to hear in a world of politically correct satire.”

Lewis presents high spirited oneman show with a cast of many dysfunctional characters. “I call my show the ‘Bucky Lewis Experience’ because it incorporates the whole dynamic of a live one-person show: physical, standup, and character comedy, mixed with live music, songs, spontaneous and audience interactivity,” Lewis said.

Tickets may be purchased on location at Your Theatre. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors, and doors open a half hour before curtain. For more information on the event and tickets, call the box office at 662-7591 or check us out on Facebook at www.facebook.com/yourtheatre.

go fast in these conditions. Your favorite ski shop can explain this process to you.

Fact 2: Once the ruts develop, you need to ski in the rut. The fastest (and safest) line will be in the rut —top to bottom — around each gate. If necessary, you can use the wall of the rut to help you follow that line. Most important is getting your carve going as you come into the rut as opposed to after you are in it.

Fact 3: Skis don't fit in the ruts sideways. No skid steering on ruttedcourse days. Carve your way through the ruts with your skis pointed where you need to go at all times.

Fact 4: You need to keep your upper body pointed down the hill — from the hips up. If you do this, even if the ruts throw you a bit you’ll end up where you

need to go anyway. If your body gets twisted, the ruts can throw you right out of the course and probably will.

Keep your hands down the course with your butt pointed up toward the start.

Fact 5: Pole plants are very helpful in the ruts and in soft snow in general. In reaching for your next pole plant, you’re moving your body where it needs to go.

We haven’t seen a lot of ruts so far this year. Now that it’s Spring snow and rut season, you need to learn to live with them. Ski aggressively, and let the ruts and the soft snow work for you. Don’t fight them. Get in the ruts, stay in the ruts, and go for greatness.

SCRATCH MADE from preceding page

to ski than Mount Cranmore, was much less crowded than Cranmore, and had a challenging steep slope. It was frequented by many good skiers from both nearby and afar, including Tom Corcoran, later an Olympian skier and founder of Waterville Valley Resort.

With competition from a growing number of ski resorts and ever higher insurance rates, it finally closed. The land was sold by the owner’s family in 1998, with the stipulation that the public would be allowed foot travel access up the old carriage road to the top.

Today’s lookout ledge is a short way below the actual summit. Below the ledge, trees have grown up on the 40 degree slope that was once the steeper terrain of the old ski slope. The outward view from the ledge becomes more restricted as these trees grow, but there is still a spectacular view of Mount Chocorua north across the valley.

As I slowly climbed, the old road bore left towards the lookout. Looking north between trees, I noticed that Mount Chocorua was hidden by a low cloudbank that extended west along

the entire Sandwich Range.

I walked out in the sun on the lookout. I looked north. The cloudbank on the Sandwich Range was moving swiftly east. It billowed up over Mount Chocorua, and occasionally the summit would appear, sparkling in the sun, and then quickly disappear in billowing white.

I lingered on the lookout, frequently rewarded by the appearance of Chocorua’s shining sharp summit for a few seconds before it inevitably disappeared.

I imaged some skiers with wooden skis and wool sweaters lingering in silence in the late afternoon light on the upper slopes of Page Hill in the 1930s, and witnessing this same thing. The country was in a depression, and on the brink of war. But the thrill of physical exertion combined with the beauty of the mountains was something they would always hope to return to. After a while their attention turned to skiing, and one by one they headed down the steep slope.

I packed to leave. A larger cloud bank temporarily moved in from the west, and the peaks were gone for a while. I headed back down into the woods, widening my line of snowshoe tracks for the next party headed up to Page Hill.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

DILBERT

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis will be the purveyor of good taste among your crowd this weekend. Take the responsibility seriously. Show the others what they need to do in order to lift the level of artistry and excellence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Mothers of toddlers fully appreciate what it takes to get another (often belligerent) person where they need to be, dressed and ready at the expected time. You’ll be in a similar position to the toddler moms now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Your commitment to family means that you are sometimes interrupted by events that are only important to the person experiencing them. Outsiders couldn’t care less. It will feel good to know that you are on the inside.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). So many ideas out there in the world, and everyone seems to want to share with you. But you have your own ideas, don’t you? And you’re so independent today that you just may close your ears to the rest.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your gifts are hard to define. But they are real, and that’s something you shouldn’t doubt. Explore them instead. Enjoy the gift of you. It’s something that is sorely needed in this world.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 10).

Your friends and ancestors are helping you this year. If you don’t believe that the unseen forces can assist your destiny, you’ll change your mind by April.

June will bring an exciting twist to your personal life. Your interests broaden, and your good luck doubles. Professional moves lead to location changes.

Cancer and Aquarius people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 5, 20, 33, 1 and 28.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Something will take over when you need it most. Maybe it’s a survival instinct, or maybe it’s help from on high. It doesn’t matter what you call this help; you’ll appreciate it all the same.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your wisdom will kick in before you waste time chasing or striving for something meaningless. It doesn’t matter how you rate against the next person. You’ll surpass yourself, and this will be an amazingly satisfying feat.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll make like an actor now and stretch into the role in which you’ve been cast. You might think of this as an honor, a challenge or a pain. It is likely that all three will fit in some way.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will be susceptible to a fever of impulsivity. Make only thoughtful decisions. If you feel yourself acting rashly, consider that you may feel differently when a few hours or days have passed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re a hard worker, but you’re an even harder player. It’s what you do during off hours that will have the most impact. There’s a way to behave responsibly and still follow the call of your wild soul.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have your own peculiar sense of timing.

You’ll feel the hand of fate at your back, but you won’t budge. You refuse to be rushed by anyone, including the larger forces like weather and destiny.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People need to be given credit for what they have contributed to your life. No matter how small an effort it might have been, it may be large in their minds, and they are expecting a nod.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, March 10, 2012— Page 31

Today is Saturday, March 10, the 70th day of 2012. There are 296 days left in the year. Daylight-saving time begins Sunday at 2 a.m. local time. Clocks go forward one hour.

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.

In 1848, the Senate ratified the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican-American War. In 1880, the Salvation Army arrived in the United States from England.

In 1933, a magnitude 6.4 earthquake centered off Long Beach, Calif., resulted in 120 deaths.

In 1949, Nazi wartime broadcaster Mildred E. Gillars, also known as “Axis Sally,” was convicted in Washington, D.C., of treason. (She served 12 years in prison.)

In 1969, James Earl Ray pleaded guilty in Memphis, Tenn., to assassinating civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. (Ray later repudiated that plea, maintaining his innocence until his death.)

In 1972, the three-day National Black Political Convention convened in Gary, Ind. In 1980, “Scarsdale Diet” author Dr. Herman Tarnower was shot to death at his home in Purchase, N.Y. (Tarnower’s former lover, Jean Harris, was convicted of his murder; she served nearly 12 years in prison before being released in Jan. 1993.)

One year ago: The House Homeland Security Committee examined Muslim extremism in America during a hearing punctuated by tearful testimony and angry recriminations. (Chairman Peter King, R-N.Y., accused U.S. Muslims of doing too little to help fight terror in America; Democrats warned of inflaming anti-Muslim sentiment.)

Help Wanted

by Abigail Van Buren

GRANDDAUGHTER GETS AN EARFUL ABOUT DANGERS OF HER EARBUDS

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 12-year-old girl who loves music and electronics. I sit on the swing and listen to music on my iPod through my earbuds. I do it at least a half-hour every day -sometimes more.

When my grandma visited a few weeks ago, she tried to talk to me when I was giving my iPod my undivided attention. When I finally realized she was talking to me, I took my earbuds out so I could hear her. She told me the earbuds were going to make me deaf. (I listen on four or five notches.)

One night we were playing a card game where you have to play really fast and watch a gazillion piles of cards at once.

The game made me dizzy, and I said so at the end of the round. Grandma said it was because of my iPod. It was all I could do to say politely, “No, it’s not.”

Is there a way to tell her to stop blaming my iPod for everything? I consider my iPod a friend. -- MUSIC LOVER IN ARIZONA DEAR MUSIC LOVER: Loud noises can damage a person’s hearing, and there is legitimate concern that the sound levels at which people listen to music cause hearing problems.

However, I suspect your grandmother is less concerned with the damage your iPod will do “on four or five notches” than she is about the fact that you don’t give her your full attention when you’re spending time together. I’m surprised your parents haven’t mentioned to you that showing good manners means being polite, respectful and not ignoring your grandmother when she’s trying to talk to you or play a game with you.

DEAR ABBY: My husband died unexpectedly eight months ago, leaving me with two young children to raise on my own. My parents are deceased. It has been a long, hard road since then. I have tried to make sure my in-laws continue having contact with my children, encouraging visits to

my home and dropping the kids off at their homes when they have asked.

I recently let everyone know that, although I still miss my husband terribly, I have been lonely and I’m ready to start dating again. I was frankly unprepared for the barrage of absolute HATE that was sent my way by my husband’s parents and siblings. They have cut off all contact with me and thus my children, which has left me stunned and sent my kids reeling from even more loss in their lives.

Is there something wrong or disrespectful with my wanting companionship and to be happy again? My in-laws seem to expect me to be in mourning forever, which is cruel and incredibly inconsiderate. Please help me find peace with all of this because it’s tearing me up inside. -- IN TURMOIL IN DETROIT DEAR IN TURMOIL: Your former in-laws may have been less upset had you waited a full year before letting “everyone” know that you’re ready to start dating and going on with your life. Not knowing them, I can’t be sure what has caused them to shun you and their grandchildren, who are their last link to their lost son and brother.

You may find peace through acceptance of the fact that as one chapter in life has closed, another is opening up and you will have a full life ahead of you. That is not wrong. As much as you may have loved your husband, now that he is gone you have every right to continue living a full and happy life with companionship and love. My deepest sympathy to you for the loss of your husband.

DEAR READERS: If you live in a state where daylight saving time is observed, don’t forget to turn your clocks forward one hour before going to bed tonight. Daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m. tomorrow. Hallelujah -- it’ll be lighter later!

Linda Rief to speak at statewide conference on Teaching Writing March 31 in North Conway

CONWAY — “Inside the Writer’s-Reader’s Notebook” is the focus of the annual statewide “Write Now!” conference on the teaching of writing on Saturday, March 31, at Kennett High School in North Conway.

Presented by SAU 9 and the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire, the conference features nationally known author and New Hampshire educator Linda Rief, who will explain how the Writer’s-Reader’s Notebook has been crucial to the work she and her students do as both writers and readers.

The notebook gives students a place to collect and develop their thinking and their voices and supports Rief’s unshakable belief that students’ voices need to be heard as they wonder, question, argue, reason, change their minds or affirm their thinking. The notebook provides a structure that gives consistency in form and function for students as learners and for their teachers.

The conference takes place from 8:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Lloynd Auditorium at Kennett, with registration and book sales beginning at 8:15 a.m. The conference is dedicated to the memory and legacy of Donald Graves. Heinemann books will be sold at a 30 percent discount throughout the day.

Rief, recently featured in a New York Times article about high-stakes testing, is passionate about the need to keep the focus on children and learning, not on test scores “At a time when educators are overwhelmed and stressed with mandates that drain the joy, the energy, and rigor from learning and teaching, we have to strengthen our resolve to do what is basic and right for children,” she said. “We need to allow, encourage and teach the reading and writing that focus on wonder, curiosity, and a love of learning. It is in our notebooks, and their use with students, that we capture the voices, the beliefs, the feelings, the thinking of real writers and readers.”

Specific topics addressed will include how to introduce Writer’s-Reader’s Notebooks to students; how to

Coffey family to raise funds for wounded warriors in Run to Home Base May 20

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, March 10, 2012— Page 37

Fundraiser to be held at Joseph’s Spaghetti Shed March 12

BARTLETT — Joseph's Spaghetti Shop is scheduled to host a fund-raising dinner March 12 to help local residents Brian and Linda Coffey and their daughter Laurel raise funds for the Run-ToHome-Base, which is to benefit wounded veterans.

“Linda, our oldest daughter Laurel — who is just back from serving in Afghanistan — and I are training to run in the Run-To-Home-Base May 20. It's a 9-kilometer run that is to end at Fenway Park's home plate,” said Brian Coffey this week. “We will be raising funds to help the Runto-Home-Base for brain injured veterans from the war in Afghanistan.”

He said Cheryl Rocheleau and Janice Brotherton re helping his family get items for a Chinese auction.

“We will be having a Chinese auction, a raffle, and some great food prepared by [proprietor] Beth Carta-Dolan,” says Coffey, a local consulting chef and author of two cookbooks (“The Lobster Lover's Cookbook” and “Lobster Lover's Cookbook II”) and one children's book, “Gully.”

“This is such a great cause and we owe so much to our wounded veterans,” Coffey added.

The Run-for-Home-Base is sponsored by the Red Sox Foundation andMass General Hospital, as well as by New Balance.

He said Laurel, 26, graduated from Kennett High and the University of New Hampshire, where she majored in occupational therapy. She then joined the U.S. Army's Medical Corps. She currently holds the rank of captain.

“She was deployed to Afghanistan for a year as a traumatic brain injury specialist,” said Coffey.

“Many of these men and women are coming back from Afghanistan with traumatic brain injuries, due to the Taliban getting really good at making IEDs, improvised explosive devices. Laurel's job was to nurse them back to health — most suffered concussions, others lost limbs,” said Coffey. “We want to raise funds to help them so they can get back into society.”

He said he, Linda and Laurel are in training, and along with his and Linda's youngest daughter, Amelia, are asking for help in sponsoring their “Run-to-Home-Base” May 30.

“I last ran a 5k race in Falmouth on the Cape in the late '70s, so yeah, its been a while. And, I'm overweight. I'm out running five times a week, and we're working out at the Cranmore Fitness Center. We are trying to get back into shape and be ready. We've got three months, so there's time.

It's all for a great cause,” said Coffey, 58, who has been a local resident for 30 years, working as the head chef at such restaurants as the Stonehurst Manor.

For more information, call Coffey at 662-6152 or visit www.runtohomebase.org.

Brian and Linda Coffey of Bartlett and their oldest daughter, U.S. Army Capt. Laurel Coffey, are in training to participate in the Run-toHome-Base May 20. The 9k race ends in Boston's Fenway Park. They are hoping to raise funds for the Wounded Warrior Project. A fundraising dinner is set for Joseph's Spaghetti Shed in Bartlett March 12. (COURTESY PHOTO)

they were both fogged up. That’s when my husband looked at me with a puzzled expression and asked “What fog?” At that point I realized clean windows weren’t a number one priority for some men. However, I’m very happy to report that unbeknownst to me, he really was paying attention because the following week he ordered new windows. Hmmmmmm, “I can see clearly now…..”

March may have come in like a lion but in the past week it has certainly lost its roar. Yesterday felt more like April than March. (No complaints here.) We had our annual corned beef and cabbage luncheons this week in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. The kitchen did its usual outstanding job. Thanks guys. March is also the beginning of our annual Feinstein Challenge. This is a grassroots campaign to fight hunger that was initiated by well known philanthropist Alan S. Feinstein.

Donations for this cause must be received and dated any time between March 1 and April 30 and can be cash, check or food items (valued at $1 per item or pound. If you write a check, please make it out to the Gibson Nutrition Program and write ‘Feinstein Challenge’ on the memo line. Don’t hesitate to donate because you think the amount is too little. Each and every amount helps support our program and is truly appreciated.

Remember to check below for upcoming programs and trips taking place at Gibson or go to our website at www.gibsoncenter.org.

Albany town and school district meeting March13

March 13 is town meeting day. Voting will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Below are three proposals for changes to the zoning ordinances.

This is a brief overview of the three questions on the ballot. The first question regards home businesses and home occupations. The present zoning is both confusing and restrictive, and leads many to either give up or ignore. Yet the town survey which the planning board conducted in the spring of 2010 showed that the respondents overwhelming supported the creation of both home businesses and home occupations. It is our hope that the proposed change will simplify the process, and encourage home businesses and home occupations, putting our zoning more in line with the wishes of Albany residents.

The second question regards recreational vehicles.

In March of 2011, Albany voters approved a change in our zoning which defined recreational vehicles.

While we want to encourage their usage, the planning board’s concern is that they may become year round residences, raising safety, health and environmental issues. The proposed change limits their occupation on a year round basis. It does not limit your storing one registered and road worthy recreational vehicle on your property year round.

The third question has to do with FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Administration), and is the result of Tropical Storm Irene. It changes the rules for financial eligibility. If there are future natural disasters, and Albany residents want to be eligible for financial assistance, we must approve this as written.

If on election day you have further questions, a more detailed explanation of the three questions will be posted at town hall. Please take a moment to review before you vote. The planning board spent a great deal of time discussing the first two questions, and feels that their passage will make our zoning more reflective of Albany’s needs. The planning board is asking for your support.

The school meeting will start at 7 p.m. with the town meeting following shortly thereafter.

You can pick up the town report at the selectmen s office to check on all ballot information as well as to review the budget.

Albany roads have been posted as of March 5.

Vehicles in excess of six tons are prohibited from use of the town roads until further notice.

World Fellowship and Unitarian Universalist Fellowship invite you to the HBO documentary movie “Hot Coffee” on Monday, March 12, at 7 pm at the Fellowship in Tamworth.

PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT

JACKSON VOTERS - TUESDAY, MARCH 13 VOTE “NO” ON ARTICLE 3 The following article, submitted by petition, will appear on the Jackson ballot: ARTICLE 3: To see if the town will vote to repeal the Selectmen’s process for the enforcement of the State Building Code until such time as the required provisions of law for the enforcement of the State Building Code are adopted by the Legislative Body of the Town of Jackson. Submitted by petition. Not recommended by the Planning Board (3-3-1) Article 3 is NOT RECOMMENDED by the Planning Board. It has been proposed by a small group of citizens. Some are philosophically opposed to the State Building Code and others want to avoid compliance.

The State Building Code is law in New Hampshire and applies to all construction. A NO vote on Article 3 is a vote to comply with the law and support the Selectmen’s process of inspection services that promote basic, common sense building practices, safety and compliant building standards.

Advantages of providing local inspection services and promoting compliance with the State Building Code: ·

Cost - Taxpayers do not pay the cost for enforcement. Costs are paid by building permit fees. People who need the service pay for it.

·

Insurance Credit - New construction and major renovations are eligible for reduced property insurance costs if the buildings are properly constructed and inspected.

·

Fire Risk - Many large and small fires in Jackson have resulted from construction that was not code compliant.

Inspection significantly reduces this risk, providing less life safety risk for firefighters, building occupants and neighbors.

·

Health Risk - Health hazards have been created by non-compliant construction, particularly in plumbing and gas fitting. Again, inspection services significantly reduce the risk of developing health hazards.

·

Professional Guidance - Our local inspector provides guidance and reference for contractors. This service has prevented many costly errors from occurring by heading them off during the construction process.

·

Master Plan Objectives - Inspection services help us meet an objective of Jackson’s Master Plan to “Ensure that every new and substantially renovated building in the town be built to all applicable codes”. (Page 6, Jackson Master Plan, adopted August, 2003)

Misinformation is being spread. Jackson has had a process for providing inspection services since the 1950s. For all these years, Selectmen have been promoting life safety and property protection by providing these services and promoting compliance with the State Building Code.

Good building standards protect all of us and have a positive effect on property values. There is no reason to be concerned that this system, which has been approved by the voters, and has worked so well over the years, will suddenly result in problems.

The trades people, contractors, current and former town officials, and property owners listed below, encourage you to allow Jackson’s current building inspection program to continue by voting “NO” on Article 3 on Tuesday, March 13.

North Conway Library receives Pequawket grant to update and move computer stations CONWAY — North Conway Public Library has received a grant from the Pequawket Foundation, which will be used to finance an update and expansion of the library’s public computer work stations.

Currently, there are four public access computers which both patrons and the general public are free to use. The Pequawket grant makes it possible to move the bulk of the public computers, which are currently housed in the children and young adult section of the library, to a more secluded location. The children and young adult room will continue to house one computer work station for younger library patrons and the main room will retain its own computer on the ground floor, but the Pequawket award will be used to reconfigure the balcony above the main room into a workspace for three computer work stations.

Furthermore, through the generosity of the Pequawket Foundation’s grant, two of the existing computers will be replaced and an additional computer will be purchased, as well as newer and more stable desks for the work stations. This will allow for the library to offer a total of five public access

computers, thereby increasing its ability to meet the emerging technological needs of the North Conway community. The balcony of the library has long been used as the reference section, so placing the majority of the internet access computers in that area retains the essential function of the balcony as the primary reference and resource room within the library.

Additionally, shifting the computers to the balcony will allow for increased space in the Children and Young Adult room, as well as providing privacy to Internet patrons who prefer to work farther from the sound and fury of young children and teenagers.

Library director Andrea Masters said the North Conway Public Library is extremely grateful to the Pequawket Foundation for its support as it tries to bring the historic use of the library up to date. All are welcome to stop by and check out the Pequawket Foundation-funded computer changes and all the other great things the library has to offer.

For more information about the library and its services, contact the North Conway Library at (603) 356-2961 or check www.NorthConwayLibrary.com or stop by the granite building on Main Street in North Conway Village.

HOME OF THE WEEK

REAL ESTATE CORNER

Perspective

BY JASON ROBIE As I write this today, there is warm sunshine on my face and a nice breeze in the air.

The small taste of spring that New England is enjoying is a welcome respite from chilly, albeit very mild, winter. I suppose I should clarify that where I’m sitting, it is currently 81 degrees. Florida is a welcome break from a stressful but rewarding winter. The sale of my house went smoothly and the new owners are settling in. I am waiting for my rental house to be ready so I took this chance to visit some family down south. The influx of vitamin D is long overdue.

Selling a home brings mixed feelings for most. In a relatively soft sellers market, a willing, ready and able buyer is a welcome entity and a bit of a relief. A strong initial offer and an amicable home inspection kept the process moving along and kept both parties happy. Of course, there was the inevitable trepidation on my part that something would cause a glitch. When you are sitting in the seller’s seat, your mind finds all sorts of ways to disrupt the deal and creJason Robie atively slow or stop the process. In the end though, if both parties are motivated to keep moving forward, everything can be overcome and the deal will happen.

As I mentioned a few weeks back, the ability of an agent, or anyone involved in the deal, to empathize with the buyers and sellers is a skill that should not be overlooked. Experience certainly plays a role here since the more transactions an agent has worked through, the more hiccups and glitches they will have learned to overcome. The trick is to be able to put yourself in the shoes of the buyer or seller and see the deal from their side.

In this particular deal, the appraisal company won the award for complete negligence and apathy toward the whole process. I’m obviously not going to “name names," but suffice it to say these folks are clearly sitting back on their laurels in the knowledge that they are guaranteed business with the way the “system” is currently set up. Since banks and real estate agents are no longer allowed to play a role in the selection of the appraisers, they are simply pulled from the proverbial hat and assigned to the deal.

I should be very clear in saying that I wholeheartedly agree with the intention behind this rule; however, it certainly does not create an environment for good customer service. In general terms, when an appraisal is needed, the banks effectively put in a request and an appraiser is assigned to the deal. No consideration is made for location, market, skill level or quality of work. I believe the same method is used when a habitually horrible driver needs auto insurance. Some states require insurance, so the driver’s name is thrown into a hat and the “winning” insurance company has to take them on. In both instances, the business is by no means earned.

This was my third appraisal on this particusee ROBIE page 44

The best in country living This week’s Home of the Week is a three-bedroom colonial-style home on High Street in Madison.

MADISON — Perched on a hill, surrounded by five acres, this spacious colonial overlooks a pastoral scene of surrounding hills. An in-ground pool, gardens, a small barn and a backyard with a fencedin area complete the landscape and make for a very accommodating property for most needs.

The family room (24-by-26 feet) is fantastic for entertaining, with hardwood floors, wood ceilings, exposed beams, and a large gas fireplace as the centerpiece. The kitchen features plenty of cabinet space, tile floors, tile counter tops, warm wood ceilings with track lighting. Adjacent to the kitchen, a gas-heat stove radiates warmth into the den and kitchen. The dining room is accented with a chair rail, hardwood floors, and wood trim.

The bedrooms are all comfortably large. The master suite has its own bath. Three baths, central vacuum, and security system add to the comforts of this 2,944-squarefoot home. An attached garage keeps the car warm in the winter and out of the hot sun in the summer.

Enjoy the best in country living in this comfortable home. It's a great place for a horse or two — the barn is already in place. As a family see HOME page 42

lar house. The initial appraisal came in incredibly low. The appraiser was from a town more than two hours away and had no concept of our resort communities or the inherent increased values of the properties in the area. The comps they used were from towns 20-40 minutes away and were in no way comparable to any of the properties in the area. Again, I blame this on the system and not the individual themselves. Don’t hate the player — hate the game.

In an effort to be a good seller and at the request of my broker, I was not present for the appraisal. This offers a less biased valuation and keeps me from following the person around like a puppy dog lauding all the great features of the house. There are countless cartoons and jokes

about the vastly different values a home gets depending on whom you ask. The town wants a nice high assessment so their tax dollars are maximized, the bank wants a more conservative appraisal since it minimizes their risk and the home owner, present company included, thinks their home is the most valuable structure in all the land!

The main complaint I had about this appraisal company is its inability to have any semblance of concern for the parties involved with the process. As this was my primary residence, at the time of closing my entire life, including everything I own, was being uprooted. Aside from finding a new place to live and making the effort to migrate all of my belongings to that space, it is an see ROBIE page 47

Getting real on space

Forget the biggest house on the block — today’s buyers just want homes that meets their needs and their budgets

BY MARILYN KENNEDY MELIA CONTENT THAT WORKS

After decades when a better home meant a bigger one, Americans have had their fill Multiple surveys show consumer preference inching toward smaller homes.

The National Association of Home Builders reports that builders expect newly constructed homes to shrink to an average of 2,152 square feet in 2015. In 2007, Census figures show new homes peaked at 2,521 square feet.

“The economy has scared people,” observes Darien, Ill., architect Ken Zajac. “They might want as large a home as possible, but only if it’s comfortable financially.”

“Home sizes always get somewhat smaller during recessions,” adds Kermit Baker, an economist with the American Institute of Architects. “But this time it could be a longer-term trend.”

The “McMansion” of the past decade may simply not be as in fashion as it was, speculates Baker. Now, a home that’s tailored to one’s needs, and conserves energy and expense is popular, he says.

That leaves homebuyers with the task of ascertaining how much space they really need now and in the years ahead, and what the real costs are for the space offered by a particular home. Here, advice for those who want to make a measured housing decision: Assessing Needs Consider the typical Generation X buyer (aged about 31 to 46), probably a couple with one child.

This demographic is the predominant force in today’s market, explains Mollie Carmichael, principal of John Burns Real Estate Consulting, Irvine, Calif.

A Gen X buyer usually moves to acquire more space but also wants to avoid buying excess footage. Moreover, Carmichael says her surveys

show that “they want their space to provide more functionality, providing space for work from home and living.”

To get a realistic grasp on the problem, take a cue from architects, suggests Baker. “They do an exercise with clients called programming,” he explains, “asking for details about what the client likes and dislikes about his current living arrangement and what they anticipate wanting.”

Our hypothetical couple, for instance, may love the overall size of their kitchen, but the location of their current large island counter doesn’t allow for an eating table they’d like.

They would look for a kitchen that’s about the same size with a different configuration.

Finding a home that puts every inch to good use has resulted in “ people really looking at a house more frequently before they purchase,” observes John Huggins, president of Coldwell Banker Legacy in Bowling Green, Ky. Counting and Comparing Generally, a bigger home will cost more than a smaller one in the same neighborhood, Huggins notes.

Property taxes are likely to be higher on a bigger home than on smaller neighboring properties. And, a large home that’s in a far-flung suburb could carry a relatively low price tag, but high commuting expenses.

When consumers estimate these various costs, often “they would trade size for a better location” to minimize transportation expenses, says Carmichael. Likewise, they look for floor plans that transform spaces – like eliminating a formal dining room – to get enough affordable living space, she adds.

Reading Energy Bills There’s only one rule of thumb regarding home size and energy, relates Jennifer Amann of the American Council for an Energy Efficient see next page

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, March 10, 2012— Page 45

Optimistic outlook for national condo and apartment markets

WASHINGTON — The Multifamily Production Index (MPI), a leading indicator for the multifamily market released by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Thursday, showed steady improvement in the apartment and condominium housing market for a sixth consecutive quarter.

The MPI, which measures builder and developer sentiment about current conditions in the multifamily market on a scale of 0 to 100, increased from 47.3 in the third quarter to 48.9 in the fourth quarter— the highest reading since the fourth quarter of 2005.

The index provides a composite measure of three key elements of the multifamily housing market: construction of low-rent units, market-rate rental units and “for-sale" units, or condominiums.

The index and all of its components are scaled

so that any number over 50 indicates that more respondents report conditions are improving than report conditions are getting worse.

In the fourth quarter of 2011, the MPI component tracking builder and developer perceptions of marketrate rental properties recorded an all-time high of 64.3, while lowrent units increased as well to 55.5. For-sale units remained steady at 30.6.

“The apartment and condo sector continues to be a bright spot in the housing market, with the overall index at its highest level in six years,” said National Association of Home Builders' chief economist David Crowe. “The rental components have been the driving force behind the increased index level.

And although the forsale component remains weaker, it is still double what it was just six quarters ago.”

Although improve-

Economy: A larger home probably requires more energy to heat and cool than a smaller one of the same vintage in the same municipality. “That’s because they were constructed with the same building code,” she explains.

Otherwise, larger homes constructed under codes encouraging efficiency, or larger homes where owners have made energy improvements, could have lower utility bills than smaller structures.

Buyers should ask sellers for a few months’ worth of utility bills, Amann suggests. And, some home inspectors can provide an energy evaluation. Use search function ASHI.org, home of the American Society of Home Inspectors. © CTW Features

ment has been shown in the multifamily segment, builders and developers say credit restrictions are affecting recovery.

“Capital is limited in this current market, and developers are having a difficult time obtaining the credit needed to finance the development of new apartments,” said W. Dean Henry, president of Legacy Partners Residential in Foster City, Calif., and chairman of National Association of Home Builders' ’Multifamily Leadership Board.

Looking forward to the next six months, builder and developer expectations improved in the fourth quarter for all three components: lowrent units, 57.0 (from 50.2 the previous quarter); market-rate rental units, 67.8 (from 67.2); and for-sale properties, 38.7 (from 37.3).

emotional and stressful time. In this particular case, the house I’m moving into is not quite ready so I was moving all my “stuff ” into a storage unit.

As you now know, I was also planning a trip to Florida so coordinating the flights and trying to finalize those plans required some sort of confidence that the closing was going to happen. That confidence was never delivered.

Because of what I can only imagine was pure laziness, a complete lack of communication on the part of the appraiser kept everyone involved in the dark until the day before closing. My flight quadrupled (literally) in price and I ended up spending the day before closing constructing railings for the front steps and the day of closing moving the rest of my belongings into storage. This is something that could have been avoided with a simple phone call and a touch of empathy. Thankfully my good friend and amazing carpenter had a day off and offered to help out.

I don’t write this today to whine about a lousy appraiser. I should offer up that the agents involved, the buyer, and most of all the buyer’s bank all worked very hard to get this deal done.

FO R SA L E B Y O W N E R

The ability to walk a mile in another man’s shoes and see the world through his eyes is becoming a lost art. This skill is critical to providing quality customer service.

The buyers are thrilled with the house and I’m a very happy seller diligently working on my tan.

This process has taught me, or re-taught me, the importance of perspective. The ability to walk a mile in another man’s shoes and see the world through his eyes is becoming a lost art. This skill is critical to providing quality customer service. I truly don’t believe you need to have bought or sold a home to empathize with both parties involved in a transaction. You simply need to adjust your perspective and put the needs of your fellow man first.
