One petitioned article on ballot; another at town meeting BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Uncertainty about snow conditions for next week led Cranmore Mountain Meister officials to move the date of the planned end-of-season Jesse E. Lyman III Memorial Downhill from March 21 to this Wednesday, March 14. see MEISTERS page 19
JACKSON — A petitioned warrant article regarding enforcement of the state's building codes divides the planning board, and residents will weigh in at Tuesday's polls. Residents will also vote on a mirror image of that petition warrant article
days later at town meeting. The first petitioned article seeks to stop selectmen from enforcing the state's building code. The other article, which is also by petition, would allow selectmen to continue enforcing the building code. Polls will be open at the Whitney Community Center on Tuesday from 8 a.m. to see JACKSON page 13

Report: Public transit use growing (NY Times) — In another indication that more people are getting back to work, Americans took 200 million more rides last year on subways, commuter trains, lightrail systems and public buses than they did the year before, according to a new report by a leading transit association. Americans took 10.4 billion rides on public transportation in 2011 — a billion more than they took in 2000, and the second most since 1957, according to a report being released Monday by the American Public Transportation Association, a nonprofit organization that represents transit systems. The increase in ridership came after the recession contributed to declines in the previous two years. With the return of jobs came a return of straphangers. Studies have found that nearly 60 percent of transit rides are taken by people commuting to and from work, and there were big increases in ridership in parts of the country that gained employment. And with the price of gas rising again — the $4 gallon has already returned in some states — many systems are bracing for even more riders. “What is exciting is that the uptick in ridership occurred in large, medium and small communities, showing the broad support that public transportation has nationwide,” Michael Melaniphy, the president of the transportation association said in a statement.

U.S. investigates Afghan attack
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
PANJWAI, Afghanistan (NY Times) — American officials scrambled Monday to understand why a veteran Army staff sergeant, a married father of two only recently deployed here, left his base a day earlier to massacre at least 16 civilians, 9 of them children, in a rural stretch of southern Afghanistan. The devastating, unexplained attack deepened the sense of siege for Western personnel in this country, as denunciations brought a moment of unity to three major Afghan factions: civilians, insur-
gents and government officials. Residents of three villages in the Panjwai district of Kandahar Province described a terrifying string of attacks in which the soldier, who had walked more than a mile from his base, tried door after door, eventually breaking in to kill within three separate houses. The man gathered 11 bodies, including those of 4 girls younger than 6, and set fire to them, villagers said. At least 5 people were injured. While some Afghans had speculated that
helicopter-borne troops were involved, a senior American diplomat told a meeting of diplomats from allied countries on Monday morning that the gunman had acted alone, walking first to a village and then to a cluster of houses some 500 yards away. He returned to the base and is in custody. He is to face charges under the military justice system, officials said. Helicopters and other troops arrived only after the shooting, the diplomat said, and the helicopters evacuated the wounded.
Justice Department blocks Texas Banks to face tough reviews, details of mortgage deal show law requiring photo ID at polls WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The Justice Department’s civil rights division on Monday blocked Texas from enforcing a new law requiring voters to present photo identification at the polls, contending that the rule would disproportionately suppress turnout among eligible Hispanic voters. The decision, which follows a similar move in December blocking a law in South Carolina, brought the Obama administration deeper into the politically and racially charged fight over a wave of new voting restrictions, enacted
largely by Republicans in the name of combating voter fraud. In a letter to the Texas state government, Thomas E. Perez, the assistant attorney general for civil rights, said the state had failed to meet its requirement, under the Voting Rights Act, to show that the measure would not disproportionately disenfranchise registered minority voters. “Even using the data most favorable to the state, Hispanics disproportionately lack either a driver’s license or a personal identification card,” Perez wrote, “and that disparity is statistically significant.”
(NY Times) — Banks will face stiff penalties and intense public scrutiny if they fail to live up to the standards of a $25 billion mortgage settlement with state and federal authorities, according to court documents filed as part of the deal Monday in federal court in Washington. While the broad outline of the deal was announced last month, the mechanics of the agreement that took more than a year to negotiate were laid out in Monday’s filing, including exactly how much credit the five banks would receive for varying levels of loan forgiveness. and just what kind of conduct from the past is off-limits to future investigations. Banks must review their adherence to the new rules every quarter through a random sampling of cases, with a maximum threshold for errors at 5 percent if they are to avoid fines. “Any error that is found during the sampling process will have to be corrected,” said one senior Obama administration official.

Hidden challenges Farnum in race for Tamworth selectman BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
TAMWORTH — The two men running for the same selectman's seat say they aren't running against each other. Rather, the candidates say they both wish to serve the town. Two-term incumbent selectman Willie Farnum is being challenged by Jim Hidden. The two men spoke at the Chocorua Community Association's candidates' forum on Monday night at K.A. Brett School. "Neither one of us are running against each other," said Farnum. "We're running for the town of Tamworth. We're running for the position of being selectman." Hidden said he agreed with Farnum. The entire 2012 candidates' forum was a rather mild affair. Residents will vote on March 13 at the Town House from 10 a.m. till 7 p.m. "I have to point out, that was the most kumbaya candidates' night I think I've ever witnessed," said moderator George Cleveland. When Cleveland asked the selectman candidates to describe what they think is biggest problem facing Tamworth, Farnum replied the "division" in the community. He believes residents need to find a cause to unite over. "If we all pull together in the same direction for goals that are lofty enough, we can reach them," said Farnum. "If we're all pulling different directions, we're going to fail." Hidden said one of the biggest problems in Tamworth is the economy, but he agreed political division is a problem. "Everybody knows the economy isn't good," said Hidden. For years, residents have been fighting about whether to adopt zoning and also over the merits of a private build-
ing project proposed by Club Motorsports — a driving-themed country club. Both candidates also agreed that town ordinances should be enforced on everyone equally. Experience was a key distinction between Farnum and Hidden. Farnum said his community service began in the 1970s when he was on the volunteer fire department. Farnum said he was a founding member of the Tamworth Rescue Squad. Farnum has served on the planning board and several other town committees. "At some point, I'll be ready to step back and maybe go fishing," said Farnum. Hidden worked at the town recreation department for a decade and coached the Babe Ruth baseball team for seven seasons. Hidden works at his family's auto-repair shop. Hidden's father served as a selectmen in the 1980s and 1990s. Hidden said he's wanted to be a selectman since he was 10 years old. "This is my home, I've lived here forever," said Hidden. "As someone pointed out, I haven't lived here my whole life till it's over." Hidden said he'd bring a fresh perspective to the board because he's never served before. Hidden said has no agenda or preconceived notions. As for transparency at the town office, Hidden said he's heard complaints from residents who feel town officials aren't treating them well. But Hidden added that he hasn't had any problems getting information from the town. Hidden promised to be open and accessible if elected. "There may have been a breakdown of communication over the years," said Hidden. "I am hearing from so many people that don't always feel they are see TAMWORTH page 5

getting answers in a timely fashion and in an appropriate fashion." Farnum replied improvements could always be made to increase transparency. Farnum said the board welcomes public input. He also said voters rarely call him at home. In addition, meeting minutes are posted on the town's website. Farnum said issues should be handled at the selectmen's table not the coffee shop. "We can solve the problem but if you don't come to us we don't know," said Farnum. "We try to make it open." Both Farnum and Hidden agreed that watching town expenses is important. A chart provided by Farnum shows in 2008 only 20 New Hampshire towns had a higher tax rate than Tamworth. In 2011, 160 New Hampshire towns had a higher tax rate. But Hidden said the taxes started going down after the revaluation was completed. Now the taxes are "starting to creep up." Further, Hidden said the tax rate is based on what expenses voters approve at town meeting. Farnum said being a selectman is a fun job and he's put his heart and soul into it. "You can't make everybody happy and I've often said if you make 25 percent of the people happy you are doing well," said Farnum. "Because 50 percent of the people probably don't know what's going on. Well, you need 26 percent because they are the ones who really count." The planning board race: Candidate David Goodson was asked why he was running for planning board when he signed a petition to abolish that board last year. "I just feel the planning board and the conservation commission were not working for the best interest of the town," said Goodson. Goodson has nine years of planning board experience. He was a scout master for seven years and worked on the school's skiing program for three years. Goodson said he's not in favor of zoning and he believes the town runs just fine without it. Petition warrant articles to abolish the planning board and conservation commission both failed in 2011.

The other candidates don't want to abolish the planning board. The other planning board candidates are Yvonne Staples, David Little and Steve Gray. Little said for the last three years he's been the planning board's secretary and on the town capital improvement program committee. He has also served on a number of other town committees and non-profit boards. Little said zoning was a contentious issue last year. Little agreed with Gray that zoning for groundwater protection would reduce some risks for the town. "The good news is Tamworth doesn't have bad zoning and bad news is Tamworth doesn't have good zoning," said Little. Gray was a planning board alternate from 2004 to 2010 and was elected to a full seat in 2010. Gray has also served on several town and community committees. Gray says zoning should be reconsidered in terms of "specific ordinances" regarding health and safety issues like regulation of the water supply. "A citizen of Tamworth, who knows more about the town than I do, and shall remain unnamed but his initials are Parker Roberts, told me that 'zoning in Tamworth was much like the abortion controversy in America: there's two sides with very few of us in the middle,'" said Gray. "I think he was spot on." Staples served as the planning board's recording secretary for three years. She has worked as a real estate agent. Staples believes the town does need some sort of zoning. Planning board members were asked if they felt Club Motorsports is a company run by morally sound people. Three candidates felt Club Motorsports' president was a responsible person. However, Little said he wouldn't comment. "I wouldn't touch that with a 20-foot pole," said Little. Cleveland asked John Roberts why he was running against incumbent cemetery trustee Alexandra Cook when there was an uncontested seat available. "Because I wanted to run against Alex Cook," Roberts replied. Early in the evening Cleveland read a written statement from Cook who couldn't attend the forum. Cook wrote that it was "unfortunate" that Roberts wasn't seeking the open seat.
Hi! My name is Leo Leo is an 8-yearold neutered male that was surrendered to the shelter because they were selling their house and had no time for him. He has lived with cats and kids of all ages. He is very sweet and a total love bug. He has not lived with other dogs and we have not tried him with any but he seems friendly with everyone and anything he meets. He is a yellow lab but is dark and looks chocolate to some, so we jokingly say he is a chellow lab. This boy has such a nice personality he would do well with most families.

EDITORIAL
Show Up It’s town meeting time again, time to discuss, debate and vote on what the next year of local government will look like. This time-honored version of direct democracy has deep roots, and it needs only one crucial ingredient: You. In a true democracy it’s not elected officials but the citizens who represent themselves in government. In New Hampshire direct local control is foundational, and the essence of democracy is embodied in the town meeting. Citizens, however, have been playing a smaller and smaller part lately. People make it out when there is a hotbutton issue like Conway’s 11 percent school cut last year or the Fryeburg special meeting looking to declare a portion of town a slum, but at most times in small town government more chairs sit empty than full. The Conway town and school deliberative meetings last week, for example, each drew roughly 100 residents, less than 2 percent of Conway’s 6,000 registered voters. That’s not sustainable. Direct democracy requires citizen participation. The wisdom of the collective is what makes this form of government work, and if the collective doesn’t show up democracy suffers. All it takes to ensure democracy survives and flourishes, however, is your participation. Democratic governance requires civic engagement. With control comes responsibility. There are many ways to say it, but there is only one way to make it happen: Show up. In a direct democracy casting a ballot is not enough, residents must contribute to the collective wisdom. It is only through active participation at all levels, from voting to debating to serving on boards, that this form of self-regulation will survive. So take part in the town meeting process. Both you and democracy win in the end.

The Politics of the Comfortable Last Wednesday night nearly two hours of the deliberative portion of Conway’s town meeting were wasted in a frantic and perhaps fruitless eleventh-hour effort to prevent Mike Digregorio’s impulsive and slapdash petitioned articles from throwing town government into complete confusion. The articles aim to abolish the present budget committee and create a new, powerless budget committee, apparently to satisfy the school lobby’s vengeance for last year’s attack on the school budget. Below are the names of those who signed those petitions. Of the 83 names on the two petitions, one was not on the most recent checklist. Of the remaining 82, just under half are easily identified as present or former school employees, school board members, or their immediate family members. Most of the rest are the activist parents of Conway students. Conway Elementary School was particularly well represented, and a majority of the Conway School Board supports eliminating its financial overseers. Those who deny the special interest behind this effort are either lying or not paying attention. The other noticeable aspect of the petitions is the relative wealth of those who signed them. A few pay no taxes, while others keep their homes in a trust, but I was able to tie 72 signers to houses owned by themselves or their partners. Despite a handful of very modest homeowners, including one who lives in a trailer park, those 72 petitioners have an average property assessment 32 percent
above Conway’s median home value, which fell just below $170,000 the last I knew. All but 10 of them — 86 percent — own homes valued above the median. At least 32 signers live in houses assessed at more than a quarter of a million dollars, including 17 whose homes are worth between $312,000 and $393,600. The homes of six faculty members are assessed at an average of $332,700. This covers only property owned in Conway, excluding extravagant vacation homes in Jackson, Florida, and elsewhere. Emasculating the budget committee will inevitably lead to much higher school budgets, and that is clearly the underlying motive of the petitions. No doubt many of those petitioners who seem to be serving their own economic interests also truly believe that spending still more money is the key to better education, but most of them have come to that conclusion from the perspective of financial comfort. Quite a few of them enjoy the security of not one but two recession-proof municipal paychecks, with benefits that would make many of their neighbors drool. Others are professionals who earn as much in a month as many others do in a year, and some are wealthier than they ever imagined through sheer luck. Most of them may not even realize that their actions as a group imply disdain, or even scorn, for those who still have to scrimp. William Marvel lives in South Conway.

Reelect Selectman John Meisner, experience for Effingham To the editor: John Meisner is a 12-year veteran of the board of selectmen. His co-selectmen have completed their first years in office and add municipal law and organizational management experience to Meisner’s historical knowledge. As evidenced in the town report, together they are an effective team focused on the town of Effingham. We admire one of Meisner’s challengers, Henry Spencer, for his town volunteerism,
including dedication to the people of Carroll County by attending most county meetings and expressed interest in having a voice in Concord. Considering Mr. Spencer’s skills and experience, we hope he will consider running for the state legislature. Our current team managing the town is very productive; let them continue. Please reelect John Meisner. Eve Varrieur Klotz Effingham

Tele-Talk Do you support allocating town tax dollars to help fund the Blue Loon transit service? There were 42 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question: “Do you support allocating town tax dollars to help fund the Blue Loon transit service?” Thirty-two people said they support the Blue Loon transit service; nine said they do not. A number of those speaking in favor of hte service said they had used or intend to use the bus. Yes, I do support tax dollars helping fund the Blue Loon Transportation Service. It’s been a long time coming that there’s public transportation here in the Valley. And it’s nice to see that people are using it. There should be more advertisement about this for people because this would also be beneficial for students; it would be nice if there were bus schedules posted at schools for students to know as well. But I think this is a great idea and it would be a shame to see it go away after everyone’s hard work. I totally support public transportation in every way. The less driving, healthy America could save trillions from the benefits of more walking and public transportation and less selfindulgent car rides. We have an obesity epidemic in our country and our addiction to foreign oil is severely hurting our country. We’ve been throwing good money after bad for a hundred years subsidizing the auto industry and the highway system. Teamsters and lobbyists have been in the White House for too many generations. Public transportation was originally part of a wellfunctioning transportation system in the early 1900s. Fox News has an excellent segment on this very topic that everyone should see. The Blue Loon Transit Service is probably one of the most foolish things that has come around here in a long time. I absolutely do not support allocating town funds for it. I’m a disabled person living in Conway and I’d like to put in my two cents supporting Blue Loon Transit Service. I believe it would help us a lot to have that so I support allocating town tax dollars to help fund it, yes, by all means. But I’ve talked to a lot of people in Conway who are either disabled or don’t have a driver’s license that would take the bus from Conway to North Conway and back and forth, but we don’t have much information on it, like a schedule or anything like that would help. It seems complicated. I guess we’re supposed to call or something and give them a 24 hour notice if you need a ride. We’ve tried that and that hasn’t seemed to pan out. But yes, I am all for it; I just think we need more information. I do support the Blue Loon Transit. I do live in the Conway area, and the only problem that I find, and a lot of people I talk to about it have, is I don’t know enough about it. I don’t know where to go. I have no scheduling whatsoever, and that’s a lot of people’s problem, I think. But certainly I do support it, a hundred percent. I would take it all the time. I know a lot of disabled people that would. If they could get scheduling somewhere so we would know more about it, and phone numbers. Absolutely, it would be taken a lot. My name is Sally Ames. My sister and I ride the Blue Loon. It is a wonderful thing that they are doing. And I would definitely say yes, they need the money.
They’re very nice people. Yes, I do support allocating tax dollars to help the Blue Loon. It is a necessity to have that because I live in Pinewood Apartments and there’s so many people who use this. I can’t believe that Karen Umberger said the buses seem to be running with few if any passengers. How would she know? It is a necessity for people to know that those buses are there and it’s the best thing that this town and the surrounding towns that use the bus have ever had, because there are so many elderly people — not just elderly people, but anybody that really has a need for it because there’s so many people up here with no cars and we have no transportation unless we pay an arm and a leg. And it’s the best thing the town ever had, and everybody I’ve talked to verifies that; they all think it’s wonderful that we have this. We don’t have to take it every day, but there are people that really need it. And I suggest that the town think different about this because this is a heck of a lot cheaper to put out money for that for other garages and things like that in this town. So, please vote for this. No. Absolutely not. It’s an absolute waste of taxpayer money. It needs to go away. No, I don’t support allocating tax dollars for the Blue Loon, for many different reasons. But any official that votes for it, I’m sure I will never vote for that official again. I’m in Conway. I’m calling to say give the Blue Loon Transit Service a chance. Other businesses here have often talked about allowing five years of operation to see if they’re succeeding, including restaurants and small businesses. If Karen Umberger won’t support the needs of those among us who can’t afford a car at any price, or those who can no longer drive, or young people not ready to drive, then who does she consider “the town?” The transit people have felt that the need was there and it will, I believe increase as gas prices rise and weather is so unpredictable. I agree with Jack Rose, to deny the service for a much longer period, it’s unforgivable to let that happen. I absolutely support money going to the Blue Loon. We are in dire need of some public transportation. My name is Anna Marie Kleiber and I live on Grove Street in North Conway and I support the tax dollars for the Blue Loon Transit. I need it for food service. My name is Mary and I’m calling about the Blue Loon because people who don’t have to rely on it don’t understand how important it is to us elderly to get around and I think the town should help them. My name is Sharon and I live in Conway. I have to say that I think that people in this area should really start thinking about their locals and not just the tourists. People have to get to shopping centers during the week. They have doctors appointments. If they do not have any kind of transportation, the Blue Loon is the only thing possible for them to go from one place to another. I really am upset that people would say should we pursue funding. I don’t think that there is even a question. We should be funding. We are talking about people in this area who live here. I am so sick and tired of people telling me we need the tourist money. Well, why doesn’t the tourist money help to allot for the Blue Loon for people who live here. It seems to me
if there’s so much of this money coming in, then some of that money should be allotted to the people who help to make tourist season manageable. Now, that’s just my personal opinion and I use the Blue Loon. The people have been more than friendly, courteous, obliging. I don’t know what else to say. And to actually say what these other people who are saying well, I don’t know — the Bartlett selectmen, state representatives, all of this stuff. Do they ride the Loon? Do they know how people are being treated, accepted? Being courteously handled to get where they need to go? I think that’s only respectful of some of the needs of people within this community and I think it’s about time that all of these representatives and selectmen start realizing that we are their constituents. We are the ones who are putting them into office. If they don’t start getting where we are coming from, maybe we should take them out of the positions that we so courteously and respectfully put them into and make them realize that we don’t need them there anymore, because they’re not representing us anymore. No, I do not support allocating town tax dollars to help fund the Blue Loon Transit Service. In fact I think the idea is loony. Well it’s not surprising in today’s Obama’s world to see such a waste of money with these little empty blue buses that transport nobody except the driver. As an employee of Walmart I see, day after day, this bus pulling up and no customers coming in and no customers going into the bus; it’s an absolute waste. It’s a waste of fuel; it’s a waste of a vehicle; it’s a waste of paying a driver; it’s a waste of maintaining these buses. It would have been a lot cheaper if anybody in the valley needed a ride called a taxi cab, save your receipt and have this bus group reimburse the person. They’d be way ahead of the game, and not wasting so much gas and materials. Shame on these people to consider running this bus. It’s cheap enough to have someone call a taxi, get a receipt and reimburse the person. No, I do not support it one bit. It is just a waste of money. And like everything Theresa Kennett gets involved in — she just loves spending money, especially when it’s not hers. It’s ridiculous; it’s out of hand. When does it stop? I’m highly in favor of the towns in Carroll County supporting the Blue Loon. It will take time for people to realize how this service can fit into their lives, such as shopping, doctor’s appointments, going to a movie or just an outing. Our world is facing a situation where the option of public transportation could clearly assist in better utilization of limited energy sources. I live on Grove Street; I’m a senior citizen on very low income and we have no way to get around. Take the bus away from us and we can’t use a cab. Cabs cost $10 just one way and the bus helps us get our medicine, takes us to the doctors. We’d have no ride if they took the bus away from us. I’m handicapped and have heart problems and have no way of getting anywhere. Please don’t take the bus away from us. I think every county should chip in for that. If we don’t have it for the senior citizens, it’s a lot of loss for them. I say it’s worth it to keep it going. But for people that are on disability, it should be $3 up and back and a donation on top of
it, they should ask people for. If it goes more than an hour then it should be $5 for the trip. Up and back it should be $8 for the trip. We need Blue Loon. I would not be for any public transportation system; it puts our taxi cabs out of business and the town can ill-afford it at this time. Who could ever even dream of coming up with something like this; it’s almost ludicrous. My name is Bob from North Conway and I think the town should helps support the Blue Loon Transit Service. I live in North Conway and I am an elderly lady and I take the Blue Loon bus about twice a week — in the summer I might take it a little more. It’s very important for people who don’t have a car and we have to walk everyplace because taxis are very expensive. I am for this Blue Loon; it’s a wonderful thing for the town. The Blue Loon fixed schedule that goes door to door is totally different than the Blue Loon flexible which parks different places and people can get on the bus wherever they have to. If you’re elderly or disabled or just sick and need to get to the doctor by appointment you can call the scheduling place and get the fixed schedule, door-to-door. This winter in particular it would be very difficult for people to get to the places where the other bus stops and picks up people. The scheduling also has been changed on the fixed schedule, the door-to-door, so that the hours now end at 3 p.m. If you have a doctor’s appointment at 1 p.m. and you have a therapy session, or whatever, and you’re not done in time to be picked up before 3 p.m., then you would have to call a taxi. It’s two separate things. The confusing part for everybody is — and I live in elderly housing and I’m talking to people who are also calling in — they don’t realize there is a difference. You call the same number in Berlin to schedule the fixed or to ask questions and get times for the flexible one. People see the Blue Loon bus and they think they are all the same; they’re not. I don’t have a car and I can’t get to the places where the flex bus runs. It’s ridiculous. It should be explained more; there should be a big thing in the paper about it; it should continue. The way it has been talked about in the paper, etc., it is just more confusing to people; they think it’s all the same. I hope something can be done about this, and as far as the town paying some of the money for it, there are people who do pay well for the fixed ride door to door because it’s convenient, especially in this wintery icy weather we’ve had and for parking and stuff if you had a car. So it’s very confusing. We need the service but people don’t realize they’re not the same buses on the road. I live at Pine Wood Apartments on Grove Street and I have such a hard time getting back and forth to my doctor’s appointments, to go to the drug store, or go shopping or something; so I’m hoping that this information I just read is not going to stop us from getting around up here because we are all elderly and low income. I do not support tax dollars to help fund the Blue Loon Transit Service. It’s situations like this that have put this country in one awful mess. It’s a waste of taxpayers’ money when you consider the cost of this service versus the amount of clientele that’s going to use it. A Conway taxpayer. see TELE-TALK page 8

I definitely support allocating funding for the Blue Loon Transit Service. It’s such an important service that we’ve been lacking in this area for a long time. The fact that they gave 7,853 rides to date should show the great need for something this. People always say what’s the problem in this area for people getting to work, people getting to appointments and transportation always comes up as one of the largest problems we have in the rural North Country. Here is an organization and a service that is definitely a solution. A lot of the town ride serves need a certain amount of notification; they can’t give rides at a moment’s notice. And this service is available anytime anybody needs it. It’s very important in an area as rural as ours. It connects people to services; it connects people to jobs and helps them to pay taxes. So I think it’s definitely an important thing for us to support. I don’t have a solid stance on the funding from any government agency in general. If the cost is an issue it seems that if it were being utilized buy a larger number of people that would generate more self-sustaining funds. If the cost for the supporting towns was reduced, it might take a bit of the burden and opposition away from the situation. A campaign of better awareness of the service could help this. Some general advertizing of the services provided, as well as some private advertising on the bus itself and at the main stops may also be a way to subsidize some of the operating cost as done in the metropolitan areas. I most certainly support the Blue Loon Transit System. As a result of stage 4 cancer breast cancer that has spread into my hip, I am unable to get out of my wheelchair. Any attempt at trying to maneuver myself into a car would cause further damage. The Blue Loon has been my lifeline for not only appointments, but for visiting my mother in a local nursing home. Patti Dickson. My parents spent many years in the Valley raising their children and meeting their fair share of community responsibilities, as does everyone who lives there. They valued self-determination, did not want to be dependent on anyone, and taught us the same. After they sold their home and moved to Florida, and after my dad’s death, my mother continued to come to the Valley in summers, staying at the condo my husband and I owned at Stonehurst. She continued to work, with summer jobs at the Anne Klein and Jones outlets, and the Scottish Lion. The final two years she was there, she had no driver’s license, a result of making a bad left turn in oncoming traffic in California, where she spent winters with my sister’s family. She quickly learned to navigate the small shuttle-bus system there, to go to the library, grocery store, doctor’s office, and the mall. That system allowed her to be a contributing (and sometimes a purchasing) member of that community. But in New Hampshire, without a license or a car, she was limited in what she could do with others and what she could do on her own. She walked (on summer-traffic Route 16) to the post office, the Scottish Lion, the North Conway library and the Gibson
Center. She occasionally (reluctantly) relied on Stonehurst neighbors to get to outlet jobs or the grocery store. As she did in California, she would’ve paid for a sustaining or seasonable subscription or a per-ticket cost of a public system, or we would have paid it for her. But that option was not available. Many people are unable to drive, unable to afford the cost of a car, insurance and gas, or somehow limited in their ability to be safely behind the wheel. Yet they wish to remain contributing members of North Country life. Those of us who don’t live there right now but hope to do so again someday hope for that as well. Say what you will about urban transit systems (and they famously have their faults), they are not only practical tools for a working person, they are a major quality-oflife sustainer for all citizens. In a time of shrinking resources, where the tradeoff must sometimes be between streetlights vs. snowplows vs. police and fire protection, it’s painful to decide what stays and what goes. So please forgive me for the presumption of living somewhere else right now yet writing to ask that in this continuing difficult economic time, voters and town/county officials carefully consider the value a viable transit system brings. It does not make anyone dependent; it keeps them independent. It keeps friends and neighbors of all ages and income levels woven into, not isolated from, the life of a place they love and want to remain part of. Please support it, please ride it a time or two even if you don’t need to (yet), and please give it a little more time. Larkin Warren. I would not be in favor of allocating town dollars to fund the bus service. Let’s turn the street lights on first! I am responding to the Tele-Talk article regarding the Blue Loon transit service. I was encouraged to participate in this service from the State of New Hampshire Department of Education Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired, as well as the New Hampshire Association for the Blind. This service is considered a breakthrough for the community and county. I am a legally blind home owner and taxpayer in the town of Conway. I am blessed to have a support system that affords me the ability to travel. There are many individuals throughout the county who need this service and for several justifiable reasons. The elderly, the disabled, the disabled American veterans, and other individuals who need it desperately will benefit greatly from this service. I found the comment from Karen Umberger uncalled for and I would like her to reconsider her statement. If this transport service is allowing individuals to get out and about, run errands, go to doctor’s appointments, and spend money, how is that not beneficial? As a new service that is growing in use and awareness, the numbers will come. This initial request for the town’s participation is warranted. We can afford this minuscule increase to give the Blue Loon service more time to produce the numbers we are all looking for. As a small community, we must consider our decisions carefully and their impacts. Andrew P. Airey, Conway. No! Town, county, state, and federal funding is our tax dollars four
times. It’s a Blue Loon Boondoggle. I only see a rider on one of those buses once in a Blue Loon Moon. This is Ralph in Eaton. Yes! I believe that the Blue Loon Transit service is a much needed part of our limited public transport system. There are a great many elderly persons who do not own cars, and others that have no driver’s licenses. Medical appointments are often in other cities, which the Blue Loon now provides transportation too, ie. Wolfeboro, and further out, Laconia, in addition to other stops along the way. For persons living on extremely fixed incomes, it provides inexpensive and very necessary service. I personally do not believe that $3000.00 dollars is a lot to ask of the communities that used this service. Rette, North Conway. I can’t think of anything worse to waste tax dollars on than this stupid looney bus. Nobody rides it anyway. The $300,000 should be spent to hire more Conway cops. Anyone who disagrees is a lunatic stoner. I do not support this. This is the realm of private enterprise and should not be taxpayer funded. Look what happened when President Obama, a former community organizer and junior senator with absolutely zero business experience got taxpayers involved in business: he wasted $500,000 taxpayer dollars on Solyndra. Government should not be involved with private enterprise in any way, shape, or form. If Blue Loon can’t figure out how to fund this enterprise and turn a profit, then they need to close shop, like any other business. Let another company step up to the plate; and if there is not a market for this enterprise, then so be it; that is the capitalist system at work; the way it should work; the way it must work! Hey voters, would you please fund my business? I provide housing, which is a valuable community service? The following Tele-Talk responses were posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page: Yes I do. But do recognize there are real differences in how people want to spend their money. I believe that we as a society owe something to help others. Some others do not believe as I do. To me that is sad. Yes. Our tax money gets spent on so many stupid, pointless things, why not put some toward a good thing. It’s 3,000 dollars. I think our towns spend more then that on paper supplies a year. Yes. No I do not. We keep dipping and dipping until there is no more left. When is enough, enough? I’m not from town, but I say yes. It is needed and not really that much money to ask. The things they do approve of is ridiculous at times, and for anyone to say this isn’t worthy is seriously not thinking about the real need and freedom this can give people. Would be a tragedy to not support this. Yes we should support something that is doing good for our community. It’s better than giving officials another raise. Yes we should! I know that it has given a very close friend of mine
some freedom to be able to get out of her home and feel a little normal. Being in a wheelchair for some people it is not an option to transfer into a car, so a wheelchair van is her only way out of the house and to be able to visit her mother in a nursing home and to get to doctor appointments. It really is her only option to a somewhat normal life again. Please help this cause at all costs! A. Fuel costs are going up and those on a fixed income may not be able to maintain a car at some point due to those costs. B. We have a lot of seniors in the valley who maybe really shouldn’t be driving but are too proud to use the Gibson Service and won’t give up their car voluntarily. C. Maybe our justice system locally might be more apt to revoke licenses for serious driving offenses if there was an alternative to allow people to get to work etc. instead of driving a car. D. Our young people need a way to get around to jobs or the library for school reasons. Public transportation is cheaper, easier and safer than individual cars for all and it’s better for the health of our eco system which keeps us all employed. A $3,000 investment now shared by thousands and maybe your car isn’t the next one totaled by grandma at Hannaford’s when she gets confused again between the gas pedal and the brake pedal because she should have given up her license two years ago but needs to drive to get groceries and such. Of course not. It’s just one more underfunded government program that starts out as grants and then the taxpayers have to foot the bill. If this is such a wonderful idea then they should be 100 percent self-supported. Granted there are individuals who really need the service, but there are a couple of taxi services and I have yet to hear them asking for my tax dollars. I would if it came to my town. I also think it should run more as a public bus service for everyone. Does anyone know where they could get on the Blue Loon? Or when it will be there? Why doesn’t it serve some of the largest attractions and employers, Attitash and Story Land? Do they operate late on the weekends so people can get a ride home from the bars? Maybe then they’d get the ridership they need to keep operating. Absolutely. As a homeowner, taxpayer, and wife of someone with serious vision loss, I can say this is a service that our community could benefit a great deal from. Karen Umberger’s comment (“Why should I support something that’s not doing anything for the town?”) is incredibly ignorant and inappropriate. Fortunately, I am able to get my husband everywhere he needs to be, but with that comes a loss of independence for him. There are many handicapped and elderly residents in this community who could benefit dearly from a service like this. If Conway residents aren’t kind enough to give 25 cents per year toward this service, I’m sorry to be a part of this community. I don’t think that’s the case, and I’m sure Ms. Umberger is the minority in thinking that those who need this service aren’t worth a little extra money. Yes.

Vote yes on 3 to create defensible, orderly enforcement To the editor: To have an effective enforcement mechanism of the state building code, it must pass two of the basic lynch pins our governmental system and which are included in the statute; that is it must be legal and must be approved by the governed. Jackson’s fails both of these basic tests. Before you get your undies in a bundle let me explain. First, the state statute that established the state building code, requiring all construction in the state meet this code, deferred implementing an enforcement mechanism to the municipalities. To insure some uniformity in developing this mechanism the statute gave a specific entity in the municipal government the authority to develop the mechanism and some rudimentary requirements of the system. Thus the planning board not the board of selectmen has the resident authority to develop the town’s mechanism. The 2009 effort was incomplete at best and soundly defeated but an attempt to implement a mechanism under the provisions of the law. Hence the selectmen’s unilateral declaration to impose enforcement mechanism on the people does not pass statutory muster. Attempting to build an enforcement process without a creditable foundation and random implementation is an invite to never ending litigation trying to justify it as the many thousands of dollars in tax dollar funded legal bills gives testimony. Unlike our current building inspector, who only recommends to the selectmen on building issues, the statute requires the position of the building inspector be
established to enforce the SBC that is separate from and independent of the board of selectmen thus eliminating the selectmen from the process. Further, the current process has virtually no administrative accountability to include disposition of fees collected. Second, and most critical to protecting the individual rights guaranteed by the Constitution, is that government receives its authority from the governed. Before enforcement can be imposed on the people it must be approved by the people. The Selectmen’s process has never been put to the test of the people hence never approved by the people, a gross injustice to the people of Jackson. Thus the issue in Article 3 is not do you want an enforcement mechanism or not but do you want a people-approved legal process or not. A yes vote will give the town the opportunity to produce a legally defensible, accountable and orderly implemented enforcement mechanism. To this end the planning board has wrestled with developing an enforcement mechanism over the past few weeks and a draft working paper is waiting presentation. It is in this forum that the mechanism will be developed that meets the desires of the people who will cast their ballot to be governed under it. An early enactment may be possible given the critical essence of the issue. A no vote serves only to continue the expense and agony of legal limbo and administrative voids. Peeling away the emotion it is hard to understand the logic of those who advocate the current system. George Howard Jackson
Hopefully changes will allow town of Freedom to grow To the editor: Many people in the town of Freedom are aware of the ongoing zoning issue in regards to home occupations. There were quite a few townspeople that felt there was a problem with the ordinance as written. The ordinance stated that anyone running a business out of their home would need to get a special exception, which costs money and time. That meant that if you were a crafter, consultant, hobbyist, or worked on the Internet, for any means of financial gain you would have to get a special exception. One selectman, Neal Boyle, and a varied group of citizens worked this summer towards a reasonable solution thus bringing the ordinance more up to date with the current times. This group was open to the public yet only seven people choose to get involved. A couple of meetings were held at the town store with minimal community participation. Unfortunately those who did show up offered only negative feedback rather than give positive input and help work toward a solution. I guess it is easier to complain after the fact then spend some time and help make effective changes. The group submitted proposed changes to the Freedom Planning Board. As I had suspected the board did not use any of the proposed changes and made their own changes as they saw fit. At least the efforts of the group did bring to light the problems with the ordinance. If there had not been any problems with the
ordinance the planning board would not have made any changes at all. I do know that if no changes had been made a lot of people in town would be applying for special exceptions. The problem is that many in town feel that the efforts of the group were solely for my benefit. I actually do not know if these changes will be beneficial to me at all. Those who will benefit most from the changes are the crafters, consultants, hobbyists, and those who work on the Internet. They will no longer be required to get a special exception, thus saving them money and time. Quite a few people in town will benefit from these changes if they are voted in which I suspect they will be. I was not able to attend the meet the candidates night but was told that an audience member insinuated that Neal Boyle getting involved only represented the interest of one townsperson. If anything at all I think Neal Boyle should be commended. He acted on something he believed was wrong and against the best interest of the town of Freedom. This was not something that would be a direct advantage to him. This type of selfless action is rare for a politician these days. If it’s wrong to stand up for something you believe in, then there is something seriously wrong with the Town of Freedom. Hopefully these changes will allow the town of Freedom to grow, rather than shrink away. Matthew Welch Freedom
Jim Hidden is looking out for each and every one of you To the editor: A good friend of mine likes to use the word wonderment. A few of my wonderments are: Why Willie Farnum has not even considered placing the elderly exemption on the town warrant for the past six years. Why has he been so generous with the raises for the town employees, and has left the seniors in the dust. Why has he placed a solar exemption on the warrant for the one percenters, who can afford it! These green exemptions do not include new windows or insulation, which also provides energy efficiency, and will outlive any of the solar contraptions on the market. Vote not on Article 2. Jim Hidden is looking out for each and every one of you, not just the one percenters; he has my vote. Both Willie Farnum and John Roberts are also responsible for shutting the water off at the Veterans Memorial and placing the yield sign on the hallowed ground of the Veterans Memorial. The Veterans Memorial is the responsibility of the trustees/ cemetery commissioners. Will John Roberts turn the water back on if he is elected cemetery commissioner? John Roberts wants to run against Alexandra Cook for the one year term, not for the good of the town as others have mentioned they would. If he is so interested in the headstone repairs why didn’t he sign up for the three year term and why did he wait until the last day/minute to sign up for cemetery commissioner? Alexandra Cook was gracious enough to step up for the vacated position of trustee and cemetery commissioner, and should be able to fulfill her term at now both positions, appointed by the selectmen or otherwise. She has assisted her husband Harold over the years mea-
suring out the cemetery plots, when he was a trustee/cemetery commissioner. A little clarification to the previous letters to the editor regarding the donations for the repair of headstones: it doesn’t matter whether he said or she said. “RSA 31:21 funds of cemetery associations, etc. — towns may receive from cemetery associations or individual’s funds for the care of cemeteries or any lot therein, and the income thereof shall be expended by the town in accordance with the terms of the trust or contract under which the funds were received.” The trustees are waiting for clarification as to whether a line item dolar amount is needed on the warrant to accept matching funds, for accepting donations/gifts from the attorney general’s office, whom they report to. Please refer to the conservation commission report in the 2011 Annual Town Report, page 72, “Forestry” The Commission recommended to the board of selectmen that the forested town property on Cleveland Hill Road be managed for timber. The selectmen forwarded this recommendation to the cemetery trustees, who may have some oversight of this three acre property.” The trustees and cemetery commissioners never received a written recommendation from the selectmen. In fact the selectmen were unaware the town forest was under the responsibility of the trustees/cemetery commissioners and also deeded to the trustees! I will be voting for Jim Hidden for selectman (three-year term), Alexandra Cook for Cemetery Commissioner (one-year term) and writing in Mark Albee for both the trustee of the trust funds and cemetery commissioner (three-year terms).

As selectman I take spending taxpayer money seriously To the editor: I am writing this letter seeking your vote to be selectman for town of Bartlett. I have lived in Bartlett for 58 years, my family for eight generations. I have a deep respect for our community and our environment. I have served as selectman for Bartlett for 12 years. Prior to becoming selectman, I volunteered to: coach sports, was a PTO member and reliable volunteer for numerous community projects. I am a partner in Bear Notch Ski Touring Center with my brother John. Our touring center offers use of our groomed trails to Bartlett Recreation, ESSC ski programs, Tin Mountain Conservation and numerous ski teams through out the valley at no charge. I feel community and family is very important. During my 12 years as selectman, I have worked to gain knowledge to benefit Bartlett taxpayers. I have worked with planning board as ex-officio for 12 years, attended seminars on land use planning,
participated in emergency disaster relief exercises and hazard mitigation planning. This knowledge worked out well during tropical storm Irene. As selectman I take spending of taxpayer money very seriously. I am aware this is hard earned money and will spend it fugally. During my time in office the selectmen have done a good job of maintaining the town’s infrastructure and at the same time maintaining a stable tax rate. I feel well-planned growth is essential to a stable tax rate and healthy environment. Our town must be careful not to throw away our long term values for short term gain. Our zoning ordinance provides guidance for future growth. I will enforce our zoning ordinance, which voters approved, in a fair and equitable way to all citizens and businesses of Bartlett. Once again I am respectfully seeking your vote on March 13. Doug Garland Bartlett

DOUG GARLAND
• How long have you been a Bartlett resident? Six-plus years. • Have you served in any local elected positions in the past (planning board, school board, etc.)? Do you have any relevant political experience outside Bartlett? I haven't served in any elected position in Bartlett. I have been serving as a member of the New Hampshire State Independent Living Council for the past year. I am also a 2009 graduate of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce's Leadership program. • Why are you running? I come from a family with history of public service, from soldiers and sailors to cops and firefighters. This is a way I feel I can serve my community. I ran last year because I didn't know who, if anyone, would after seeing so many open seats on other town boards in previous years. This year a couple citizens encouraged me to run again and I've been amazed at how many people have come to me to offer their support this year. I believe the residents of Bartlett deserve to have choices on election day. Otherwise why hold an election? • What should a selectman’s top three priorities be? 1. To give the citizens the best value for their tax dollars. 2. To conduct all of their business in an open and transparent way. 3. To plan for the future and lead the town into the future. • What unique skills would you bring to the board? All three candidates this year are small business owners. But before taking on my current business I was the head of a non-profit and learned to stretch every dollar as far as I could. Also from my experience in working to rebuild that program and now rebuilding and expanding my current business I've learned to look at how things have been done in the past and learn from them but to also be open to and willing to try new ideas going forward. • What do you see as the biggest positive in Bartlett? The biggest challenge? The biggest positive is the great people who have grown up here and chosen to stay and the people, like
• How long have you been a Bartlett resident? I've lived in Bartlett for 16 years; the valley for 32 years. • Have you served in any local elected positions in the past (planning board, school board, etc.)? Do you have any relevant political experience outside Bartlett? I have no political experience to speak of, which paradoxically, I believe, makes me an excellent candidate for selectman. My prior business successes speak of my ability to manage and govern efficiently; and my life experiences, well, they would allow me to be diplomatically inclined yet hold a steady hand out to fair and equitable dealings. • Why are you running? To bring my enthusiasm and integrity in this legislative assembly called the selectmen’s office, where such qualities have diminished in recent years, would permit me to be a strong asset. • What should a selectman’s top three priorities be? a) Maintain a reasonable tax base that reflect the economic times we are living in. b) Create a master plan for the town that is realistic and productive for the Bartlett citizens'/families' needs, with a dedicated eye on our future. c) Continue to nurture our town’s natural resources and aesthetics but at the same time create a viable economical plan/policies that promote new small businesses. • What unique skills would you bring to the board? Integrity, fairness and insight. • What do you see as the biggest positive in Bartlett? The biggest challenge? What’s positive: The people. The biggest challenge: Employment. • What specific achievements would you like to see the town attain over the course of your term? I would like to see a “Citizen Notification System” (CNS) established; this would utilize voluntary e-mail submissions to the town clerk by the regis-
• How long have you been a Bartlett resident? I have lived in Bartlett for 58 years. My family has lived in Bartlett for seven generations, and I hope my children make it eight generations. • Have you served in any local elected positions in the past (planning board, school board, etc.)? Do you have any relevant political experience outside Bartlett? I have served for 12 years as Bartlett selectman and ex-officio to the planning board. • Why are you running? I grew up here and feel an obligation to help preserve for future generations the quality of life I was able to enjoy. I understand that change is inevitable and I support planned growth. Sound fiscal policies are best addressed through well-planned growth. • What should a selectman’s top three priorities be? Top priorities include listening to the concerns of residents, being fiscally responsible with taxpayers’ money, enforcing local zoning, as voted in by Bartlett’s citizens, fairly and equally. • What unique skills would you bring to the board? I bring 12 years of experience, during which time I have gone to municipal seminars and participated in negotiations with other towns. Perhaps my most unique skill is my strong sense of the history of Bartlett. I’ve seen the town go through several economic evolutions and am thankful that previous generations knew that maintaining our environmental beauty was the best way to ensure the economic stability of future generations. • What do you see as the biggest positive in Bartlett? The biggest challenge? I believe our greatest assets are our small town community atmosphere of caring about our neighbors and our pristine and beautiful location. Maintaining the qualities that make Bartlett special while providing for economic growth can be challenging. The town should be cautious not to lose those qualities that made us special in the first place. • What specific achievements would you like

me, who have chosen to move here. I think the biggest challenge will always be maintaining the great quality of life we enjoy here as the regional, state and national economy continues to change. • What specific achievements would you like to see the town attain over the course of your term? I believe I can establish the e-mail newsletter that I've proposed as well as work to make the town's website more relevant in an effort to make town government more open and transparent. As I've said, I'm in favor of creating a plan for regular revaluations and setting up a capital reserve fund to help pay for them. I'd also like to set up periodic reviews of town zoning ordinances and other regulations. However if elected I realize I'd just be one of three selectmen and if the others don't agree those things they won't happen. • The issue of transparency came up several times at the candidate forum. Do you think the selectmen have a transparency problem? If yes, what would you do about it? Just the fact that it came up so much in last year's race and again this year shows that there is at least the appearance of a lack of transparency. I think the e-mail newsletter I've proposed with recent meeting minutes and the upcoming meetings' agendas will help. If elected I will post my e-mail address on the town's website, I'm sure we could set up accounts for each of the selectmen via the town's website if the other selectmen don't want to put their personal e-mail address on the town's website. Moving the actual meetings from
their current room to the voting room would make them more welcoming to citizens who would like to sit in on the meetings. Having Valley Vision film the meetings has been suggested but has a cost associated with it and I don't think that's the best use of taxpayers' money. We could set up a camera on a tripod and post the video to a YouTube channel at no cost for interested citizens though. • Do you feel the selectmen handled Hurricane Irene and its aftermath well? What would you have done differently? I do. I think the selectmen did a great job during and in the wake of Irene. • Do you feel the selectmen handled the property revaluation well? What would you have done differently? Selectman Garland says they didn't choose 2011 to do a revaluation. But by not doing it for 17 years they did back themselves into a corner with the state. I believe we should establish a Capital Reserve Fund like we do for other expenses that we know will be coming up and plan on doing a revaluation every 10 years. • Any final thoughts? I'd like to encourage all residents to come out on the 13th and vote. I think we had about 400 ballots cast last year, out of 2,800 residents. The turnout at the school meeting the other night was great, regardless of how you feel about results of the vote. Nobody I spoke to had ever seen a turnout like that for town meeting or any other school meeting. And as the state continues to shift more costs and responsibilities to the towns we are going to need more and more citizens involved at the town level.

tered voters of Bartlett so they may be notified of important issues regarding the town-in real time. • The issue of transparency came up several times at the candidate forum. Do you think the selectmen have a transparency problem? If yes, what would you do about it? Yes there is a transparency problem; too many non-public sessions during selectmen’s meetings. • Do you feel the selectmen handled Hurricane Irene and its aftermath well? What would you have done differently? By and large, yes, the current selectmen handled Irene well, but I would’ve done some things different.

to see the town attain over the course of your term? I would like to see the town maintain a stable and low tax rate, finish projects related to Tropical Storm Irene, continue to work on improving recycling at the transfer station, work with surrounding towns and precincts on ways to be economical with our tax dollars, and expand electronic access to town hall. I would also like to help plan the future development of the Stoney Morrell family property that they generously donated to the town. • The issue of transparency came up several times at the candidate forum.

• Do you feel the selectmen handled the property revaluation well? What would you have done differently? Bad timing: The revaluation couldn’t have happened at a worst time; citizens are strapped this year, barely getting their heating bills paid, we’re now burdened with a higher tax bill when the houses that we own have actually depreciated in value. • Any final thoughts? If elected as your “new selectman," I’ll be thrilled to find my seat between Gene and David on Friday mornings. I’ll want to get the “proverbial” ball rolling on some much needed amelioration that our beautiful town needs — and deserves! Thank you, Bartlett citizens. do about it? I can attest to the fact that transparency has not been an issue in my 12 years as selectman. Our meetings are open to the public. There are state and federal statues that govern when a meeting must go into non-public session. We abide by these laws. There has never been a time in my tenure when we were in public session that any person was not allowed in our meeting. Also, our minutes and records are available to the public. Expanded use of Bartlett’s website may lead to greater convenience but not to any greater transparency. • Do you feel the selectmen handled Hurricane Irene and its aftermath well?

VOTE DAVE GOODSON FOR TAMWORTH PLANNING BOARD TODAY! Dave Goodson is a native of Tamworth who has raised 4 children in our town, engaged in the community through his involvement with the Boy Scouts and worked for 40 years in the building trades. Dave previously served for 9 years on the Planning Board, and understands what it takes to serve the public in this important capacity. Dave understands how important it is to balance Tamworth’s natural heritage with our need for a vibrant business community that creates good jobs for our citizens.
have done differently? I was very proud of our town’s response to Tropical Storm Irene, both in the immediate aftermath as well as the ongoing recovery. This was the most damaging event to the infrastructure of Bartlett in my 12 years in office. All essential roads were open within 24 hours; state and federal officials were on scene almost immediately, assessing the damage. I attribute this rapid response to the fact that town employees including the selectmen, have been trained in emergency disaster relief, along with the excellent community support we received from local contractors and businesses immediately following the storm. Grant money to help repair the damage would not have been available had the town of Bartlett not participated in the hazard mitigation program. Once again I am proud of our town’s foresight and response. • Do you feel the selectmen handled the property revaluation well? What would you have done differently? I feel the revaluation was handled as
well as possible. We as a board would have preferred not to do the revaluation at this time. Annual statistical adjustments and pickups for new construction had kept Bartlett land value well within acceptable state limits. We felt it was better to maintain the right to seek competitive bids rather than be mandated by the state to accept their choice of assessing firm. • Any final thoughts? I want to thank the majority of businesses in Bartlett that abide by the zoning regulations. Those regulations were developed and voted upon by the citizens of Bartlett. When a business is cited for ignoring the zoning regulations, its first line of defense tends to be a cry of anti-business. It would be an affront to the businesses that comply with the ordinances if we didn’t enforce them equally. Voters would be mistaken to believe that a different board of selectmen would be able to allow some businesses to ignore current zoning regulations. My final thought is simply: Thank you. I am grateful that the citizens of Bartlett have allowed me to serve. And no matter how you feel, please come out and vote on Tuesday.

7 p.m. Town meeting will be on Thursday at the Whitney Center starting at 7 p.m. Residents will vote on Articles 4-32 at town meeting. Articles 1-3, including election of officers, will be in ballot voting Tuesday. Article 3 on the 2012 town warrant reads: "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 codes are adopted by the legislative body of the town of Jackson." The planning board voted 3-3-1 against recommending the article. When there is a tie vote, motions to recommend fail. Residents will vote on Article 3 on Tuesday. State building codes are the law everywhere in New Hampshire but Concord gave towns discretion when it comes to enforcing them. A former town attorney told selectmen they had the authority to enforce building codes through Section 16 of the zoning ordinances, said planning board chair Scott Badger. "I couldn't say how the town is going to vote," said Badger when asked if he had a sense of which side would win. On Thursday, town meeting voters will be asked to consider Article 5. It reads: "To see if the town will vote to instruct the selectmen to continue to enforce the state building code, adopted by the State of New Hampshire as RSA 155-A and applying to all construction in the state pursuant to Section 16, administration and enforcement, of the town of Jackson Zoning Ordinance." Selectmen recommend this article by a vote of 2-1. Article 3 spurred a flurry from both sides of the issue. Planning board alternate George Howard lays out his position in a "minority report" filed in planning board minutes of Dec. 8, 2011. Howard said residents soundly defeated a similar proposal in 2009. He also said costs associated with the enforcement, such as staffing, would need to be understood. "Given the strong voice of the people in 2009, the issue should be laid to rest and the proposed amendments withdrawn," states Howard's minority report. "Repeating the effort with virtu-

A former town attorney told selectmen they had the authority to enforce building codes through Section 16 of the zoning ordinances, said planning board chair Scott Badger. ally no information on which voters can assess the impact the enforcement process and make an intelligent decision is disingenuous to the voters." But in a recent letter to the editor, planning board member Betsey Harding said there are several good reasons to vote down Article 3. She writes passage of Article 3 would end local permitting. Voting it down would lower insurance rates and make sure building construction is done safely. "Having a valley person enforce the code is both convenient and timely," said Harding. "Andy Chalmers, our present building inspector, is responsive and helpful." According to Badger, Peter Malia, the current town counsel, said if both articles pass, Article 5 would likely trump Article 3 because Article 5 would have been passed after Article 3. Badger added Malia and the Local Government Center think enforcement of the building codes hasn't been properly authorized. Malia also believes even if Article 5 passes it wouldn't necessarily protect the town from court challenges. Other warrant articles: * Article 4 is the operating budget. It asks residents for a sum of $1,778,553. * Article 20 calls for setting the town clerk and tax collector's salary to $18,280, which represents a 10 percent reduction. * Article 21 sets the town clerk and tax collector's salary at $20,3100, which is "consistent with the amount previously paid for this position." Article 21 would only take effect if Article 20 fails.

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — The Kennett High ice hockey team wrote a thrilling final chapter to a storybook season Saturday afternoon at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester. Junior Anthony LaRusso scored the game-winning goal with just 26 seconds left in overtime to beat Alvirne 4-3 and send the large flock of Eagles who made the trek south into delirium. It was a game for the ages with the Broncos coming from behind three times to tie the contest, but each time the boys from Conway dug deep and responded to the challenge.
“You know when you’re in the moment like that you’d wish you’d win it 5-0 but now that it’s over there’s no other way to win it than this, it’s just so exciting,” Michael Lane, Eagles’ head coach, said. Kennett is an incredible 90-12-1 in Lane’s five years at the helm that now includes winning three state championships. “It definitely feels better winning it as a senior,” Kevin Murphy, team captain and now all-time leading scorer with 170 career points, said. Murphy has been a part of all three Kennett championships. “This one is the best because it feels like it’s the one our senior class contributed the most to.”

Kennett beat Alvirne on the road 3-2 on Feb. 15 in the lone regular season meeting, but it was the Broncos who had the better run of play in the first period. Bishop was terrific in goal for the Eagles all afternoon, but kept his teammates in game with 13 saves, many of the spectacular variety, in the openSenior Johnny Bishop was sensational in goal for the Eagles in the finals.

We’re proud of our Eagles
Kennett High hockey is special. Year in and out the hometown Eagles are so easy to root for and as a KHS alum, it’s incredible to see the support this community gives the program. That support occurs long before any of the 19 players and three coaches set foot on the ice at Ham Arena. Each player has to raise about $1,100 to be part of the program to pay for such things as ice time, uniforms and other equipment. The team hosts a golf tournament; sells food on the Fourth of July; runs a rubber duck race; and gets generous support from Frechette Tire, who donates proceeds from a day to the team. Players and coaches appreciate the support so much. On Saturday, at the finals in Manchester, once again there were a lot more Kennett fans on hand than Alvirne and the Broncos are just a stone’s throw from the Verizon. Coach Mike Lane was spot on when he said we have the best fans in the state and it’s not even close. “We say it all the time, the parents and fans were great both at the semis and the finals, what can you say, the best fans,” Lane said. “They were phenomenal. We go to every other arena in the state and there’s no group that fills a building like we do. We can’t thank them enough.” Senior Chris King agreed. “Tanner Van Coesant and I have those spandex suits and Tanner had the crowd going wild, I couldn’t thank him anymore,” King said. “I truly mean this, Kennett has the best fan base. We had to drive two and a half hours to get to Manchester and the Alvirne fans had to drive 15-20 minutes. We out-fanned them by at least 200 people. It’s just incredible. I told everyone before the start, you’ve got 10 minutes to go out and get the jitters out. It’s so hard, (laughing) we had a terrible warm-up because everyone was going nuts, it’s so hard to contain yourself.” One reason it’s easy to root for this bunch is because they all really like each other and get along so well. “This is a great group of kids, they are just really good people, they’re bright,” Principal Neal Moylan said after he greeted the Eagles when they arrived back home at Ham Ice Arena “They’re champions on and off the ice, I’m going to miss this senior class.” “I like the camaraderie, it’s like no other sports team I’ve been on,” senior Matt Kelly added. “Everyone is together. In other sports it takes like two minutes to go out on the field, but in hockey it takes like half an hour to get ready and you’re in the locker room and it’s more time to bond — I feel that’s what makes us us. Plus, we’ve been playsee WE’RE PROUD page 17

ing 15 minutes. Lane praised his senior goalie, who came up big time and time again. “I was extremely disappointed at the All State meeting (March 5) because Bish was not voted First Team, he was voted Honorable Mention,” he said. “Unfortunately, I just have one vote and I was outvoted. It’s a shame, but he proved (Saturday) why he’s the best goalie in our Division. He was just phenomenal, he was our best player on the ice. He controlled rebounds and faced a very potent offense and did a great job. I’m really proud of Bish and I’m very disappointed he didn’t get First Team, unfortunately those things, I had just one vote. I hope he realizes how much myself and the coaching staff think of him and we know he was the best goalie in the state.” Defenseman Kelly agreed, Bishop was a difference-maker. “Bishop had a great game,” he said. “He’s been our brick wall all season — when in doubt Bish is behind you and he’ll help you out. Even if you make a bad play he’ll stop breakaways for you. I just can’t say enough good things about him, he’s definitely been our backbone this year.” Kennett took the game’s first lead with 2:17 left in the first period on a shorthanded goal. Murphy lit the lamp from just inside the blue line with slapshot that narrowly got over Alvirne goalie Brian Carpentier’s glove. Still on the power-play, the Broncos were able to knot the game with with a falling down effort by sophomore Trevor Perron with 1:20 left in the period. Kennett committed just two penalties in almost

60 minutes of hockey and that came on the heels of one penalty in the 3-1 semifinal victory over HollisBrookline on Wednesday. “I’ve got to give Coach Todd Frechette all the credit,” King said. “He told me that every game we have to set a goal for how many penalty minutes we can allow. During the semifinal game we said we can only allow six penalty minutes and we gave up one (two minute) penalty. Today we said we could only give up four penalty minutes and we met our goal with just two penalties. I remember all of the Ham Arena staff saying if you’re disciplined you’ll win. We couldn’t have taken better advise. Every one of Coach Lane’s Peanut Gallery guys were saying how we needed to be more disciplined and they were correct. If we had taken 100 penalties against Alvirne they would have beat us, but we were disciplined, we skated hard and we came out on top.” Lane agreed his team played disciplined hockey. “I think it’s the product of a couple of things,” Lane said. “One, the kids saw the big picture. I thought two, we got really good officiating in both the semis and the finals, the refs really let the kids play on both sides. I’m really happy about that. The kids got it and they deserve all the credit for being disciplined.” Alvirne out-shot KHS 14-7 in the first period and then took the first five shots of the second, yet the game remained tied 1-1. With 6:48 left in the period, Bishop made an incredible stop on a shorthanded Alvirne bid. Three and a half minutes later the Broncos went on the see next page

power-play and Bishop was more than equal to the task. He thwarted a point-blank slap-shot and seconds later made a sprawling stop and both times allowed no rebounds. The Eagles offense picked up on that momentum and LaRusso put the boys from Conway in front with 42 seconds left in the period. After two periods, KHS, who had been out-shot 24-12, led 2-1. The Broncos tied the game 27 seconds into the third period when freshman Cameron Blake was on the doorstep to tuck a pass in from close range. Kennett took its third lead of the day with 9:58 to play on a fine effort by Gallo, who was fighting illness. He followed up the rebound of his own shot and then went five-hole making it 3-2. Alvirne refused to go away and netted the equalizer with only 3:05 to play on a goal by senior Cameron Brock. The game was deadlocked at 3-3 after regulation time with Alvirne holding a 33-23 advantage in shots on goal. “Right after the third period ended I looked a Mike and Justin and said these overtimes aren’t’ for me,” Coach Todd Frechette said, smiling. “Losing a state championship game in overtime (something that happened his senior year at Kennett), just makes it, but during the game itself I don’t get nervous.” Going into overtime, Lane was confident. “I don’t think we’d played our best hockey,” he said. “We’d made some mistakes — we really talked about going into overtime, 90 percent of overtimes you win it in the first minute, someone does. We really wanted to focus on three good defensive shifts to get everyone kind of acclimated and the kids did a really good job of that. I really thought we carried the play in overtime. We out-shot them 10-4 in overtime and drew a couple of penalties through hard work.” Lane’s troops were equally up for the extra session. “After every period Coach Lane would come in and say his stuff and then Kevin Murphy and I would pump up the entire team every single period,” King said. “I couldn’t give Kevin any more credit, the things he said were dead on. Him and I just rolled
(JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTO
off each other, it was great.” Murphy agreed. “Going into overtime me and Chris were feeding off each other,” he said. “We kept telling the guys, ‘This is our game, we’ve got he momentum; we’re the better team; this is what all the hard work all season has been for.’” Alvirne had the first real chance to win the game with 12:45 to play but Bishop stopped a two-on-one attack and the KHS defense went into lock-down from that point on. Seniors Kelly, King and Dan Rivera logged all of the time on defense. “We’re going to miss them next year,” Lane said. “Matty probably played a good 50 minutes. He, Chris and Dan, you can’t say enough about the three of them. To play 60 minutes in that building is an incredible feat. I heard people saying it was going to be our Achilles Heal and they stepped up and proved it wasn’t. I’m really proud of them.” “I knew it as going to be rough, the sweatshirt and sweatpants practice I wore it all week to try to get ready,” Kelly said. “(Friday) night I drank as much water as I could to prepare. To be honest I didn’t feel the heat at all. I’m happy it wasn’t that much of a factor. (Laughing) I’d get to the bench and Coach (Justin) Frechette would say are you ready to go again, get back on the ice?” “I am absolutely exhausted,” King said following the game. “Matt, Dan Rivera and I play a rotating three D shift. Dane Rivera and Robert Moody are learning defense and are great players, but just in this game we decided to do the three rolling D, we went with it and it seemed to work.” Kennett went on its second power-play of the extra session with 1:59 remaining. Murphy drew a big save from Carpentier with 47 seconds left. Just 21 seconds later, it was over. Lane saw the goal. “I did,” he said with a big smile. “I saw Dillon kind of come out with it and I don’t remember if he shot or passed, but it ended up on Nick’s (Massa) stick. I saw Anthony backdoor and I don’t know if Nick saw him or Anthony called for it and he slid it over and he finished off. It was just jubilation at that point, it was so exciting.” see next page
ing together since we were five. We’ve known each other for so long, it’s unbelievable to say it all over, I can’t believe it.” King and fellow senior Kevin Murphy agreed. “Going out like this as a senior, is so nice,” King said. “Kennett hockey has taught me how to be a man, taught me everything I need to know about life. I can point to each and every one of my teammates and I’ve learned something from them. Scripting my last Kennett game and it being a championship, It couldn’t have been more perfect.” “It’s a great group of guys,” Murphy added. “The seniors, we’ve been playing together since the first grade.” Murphy, who was named the Division III Player of the Year on March 5, end his KHS career with three state championships and leaves as the team’s alltime point scorer with 170. “My bucket list is definitely complete,” he said, smiling. Coach Lane calls this group a special one and told the team that immediately after the game in the locker room. “I told them that I’m really happy this wasn’t our last time together that we’ll be able to get together some time next December and raise the banner (at Ham Arena). I was just really proud of them and they left their fingerprint firmly on this program. I couldn’t be a prouder coach and they deserve all the credit. You know 20-1, and we beat the DII champions, too, not a bad feat. A lot of special things happened.” And how does it feel to be a champion? “It feels great,” Kelly said, smiling. “(Laughing) Honestly I’m just happy that we were able to pull through and that we didn’t dye our hair (blond) for nothing.” “This plaque means everything,” King said holding the state championship. “I told my teammates in-between each and every period, as individuals we will fail and as a team we will hold this plaque high. As individuals we didn’t fail because we ended up holding the plaque high. All 19 kids, I couldn’t be prouder.” We’re proud of all of you, too.

“I still haven’t seen it,” King said, laughing. “I have yet to see it, but Anthony LaRusso backdoor, I couldn’t be happier. Anthony LaRusso he earns that. He takes a lot of crap, we mess with him a lot because we like him so much, he’s just one of those kids. He comes to practice and works his butt off every single day and he cares about this team so much. It was just such a like, go Tone. Anthony LaRusso’s nickname is Tone. I would love for anyone to score, but I was just so happy it was Anthony, he deserved it.” You can see the winning goal on the Internet at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r27Z94IJjo Murphy praised LaRusso, who had nine family members on hand for the finals. “Anthony works so hard in practice,” he said. “It was nice to see him get the game-winner.” Lane agreed. “Tone, he’s just a pleasure to coach,” he said. “He’s the type of kid who also deserves more recognition than he gets. I’m extremely happy he scored the game-winner. Tone did at least 50 things that were positive prior to scoring. He’s one of those players who does so many of the little things well.” Kennett, which is now 15844-6 as a varsity program, set a new Division III record by advancing to the championship game for the fifth straight year. The Eagles matched Souhegan with a win Saturday for most all-time titles. KHS is 3-4 in championship games. The Eagles returned home to a hero’s welcome with a terrific parade through Conway and North Conway Village to cap off a day to remember.
There were a lot more Kennett fans than Alvirne supporters who made the trek to Manchester.

The warm weather also forced the cancellation of the last scheduled race in the season-long Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center Nordic Meisters crosscountry series Tuesday. “With the warm weather this week and next week, we have decided out of concern for safety for racers to move the downhill to this week. We plan to move the Jen's Friends Meisters fund-raiser from this week to next week, as we can run that on a shorter course than the downhill. We thought it was a wise move,” said Karen Dolan of Cranmore Mountain Meisters. Danbo Doucet, race coordinator, said there will not be any training day for the downhill as a result of the race day schedule change. Temperatures were in the 50s Sunday and Monday, and possible rain was forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the upper 50s Tuesday and mid 40s Wednesday. AccuWeather predicts daytime highs in the upper 40s Thursday and Friday, and daytime highs in the mid 50s Saturday through Monday. On Jen's Friends Day March 21, racers may take as many runs they want, making a donation per run for the local cancer patient relief organization. Mountain Meisters is scheduled to hold the end-of-season awards party March 21 following the Jen's Friends race. Ben Wilcox, general manager for Cranmore, said Monday that Cranmore is still planning to close March 25, conditions permitting. “We are still shooting to go until March 25. We want to make sure the quality of skiing is still up there; we will be watching the weather all week and if we have to make the call, we will do so later in the week [about whether to close earlier than the 25th],” said Wilcox Monday. Spring conditions All local areas featured bluebird conditions on Monday, with spring skiing and sunny skies.

Wildcat Mountain hosted the 9th annual 100K Vertical Foot Challenge on Monday, with 20 participants skiing/ riding Lynx 50 times to complete 100,000 vertical feet within one day. “We’re pleased to announce our participants raised a combined total of $90,000 for Make-A-Wish of New Hampshire for this event,” said Wildcat general manager Josh Boyd. Sled dog attempt canceled The planned rescheduled dog sled summit ascent attempt up the Mount Washington Auto Road has been scratched until next year due to lack of snow cover on the lower half of the road, according to media director Steve Caming. The warm weather led to the scheduled closing after Tuesday of Great Glen Trails and Mount Washington Valley Ski Touring and Snowshoe Center. The ski-touring association hosted the Eastern Slope Ski Club's Nordic Snow Day Tuesday. Great Glen Trails' Nordic Meister Pot Luck Party with awards and raffle is set for Friday, March 16, at 5:30 p.m.

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You want to hear the truth, and you assume others do, too. So you’re not likely to flatter others or conform your ideas to theirs to ease the way for social discourse. You’ll respond to the world with complete honesty. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be in another one of your curious moods, eager to learn about things around you and beyond. Being wonderstruck is one of your favorite states of mind. Keeping going until you arrive there. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s only human to want to assign a reason for everything that happens. With that reason often comes praise or blame. Today it will help you to note that not every situation has a definitive “responsible party.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll improve the quality of your life by dealing with a problem that’s been plaguing you. There’s more than one way that will work. Keep trying new things. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are certain burdens you feel you must carry alone. So be it. But you can at least talk to a trusted confidante about them, and doing so will make your load seem lighter. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 13). The next six weeks are predictably pleasant, and then new challenges and influences add spice in May. You’ll be the one to bring family together and create fun summer events. Those who lean on you will be appreciative, and you’ll cash in on a few favors in July. There will be a chance to invest and win big in August. Gemini and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 40, 12, 39 and 50.
Get Fuzzy
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your strengths will carry a project through. If someone else involved is weak in an area, you’ll override the deficiency. This person will carry you in a different way later. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your fellow Taurus Kelly Clarkson suggests that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. You will draw strength from your wounds and become ever more resourceful when it comes to using what you learned from the past. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Transformation is not only possible; it’s inevitable. You’ll focus the energy of change on the area of life that’s been the most stressful. What once caused you pain might actually be the source of your healing. CANCER (June 22-July 22). With a little persistence, you’ll jar a stuck project loose and be most satisfied with what happens next. By the day’s end, you’ll love how it feels to get things moving again. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You feel strongly about social issues and will have a special fondness for those who believe as you do. You’ll be moved to take action. Plan it out carefully, and involve as many likeminded individuals as you can. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll never know what would have happened had your original plan worked out, but you can bet it wouldn’t be as great as what’s happening now. So when something doesn’t work out today, assume it’s for the best. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may see yourself as an underdog now. Though it means you are not in the strongest position, the good news is that everyone loves an underdog. Go forward in full faith that you have a chance at victory.

Saturday’s Answer
THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Tuesday, March 13, 2012— Page 21
Today is Tuesday, March 13, the 73rd day of 2012. There are 293 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 13, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed a measure prohibiting Union military officers from returning fugitive slaves to their owners, effectively superseding the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. On this date: In 1639, New College was renamed Harvard College for clergyman John Harvard. In 1781, the seventh planet of the solar system, Uranus, was discovered by Sir William Herschel. In 1845, Felix Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op. 64, had its premiere in Leipzig, Germany. In 1901, the 23rd president of the United States, Benjamin Harrison, died in Indianapolis at age 67. In 1925, the Tennessee General Assembly approved a bill prohibiting the teaching of the theory of evolution. (Gov. Austin Peay signed the measure on March 21.) In 1933, banks began to reopen after a “holiday” declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1947, the Lerner and Loewe musical “Brigadoon,” about a Scottish village which magically reappears once every hundred years, opened on Broadway. In 1964, bar manager Catherine “Kitty” Genovese, 28, was stabbed to death near her Queens, N.Y. home; the case generated controversy over the supposed failure of Genovese’s neighbors to respond to her cries for help. In 1969, the Apollo 9 astronauts splashed down, ending a mission that included the successful testing of the Lunar Module. In 1980, Ford Motor Chairman Henry Ford II announced he was stepping down, the same day a jury in Winamac, Ind., found the company not guilty of reckless homicide in the fiery deaths of three young women in a Ford Pinto. In 1996, a gunman burst into an elementary school in Dunblane, Scotland, and opened fire, killing 16 children and one teacher before killing himself. One year ago: The estimated death toll from Japan’s earthquake and tsunami climbed past 10,000 as authorities raced to combat the threat of multiple nuclear reactor meltdowns and hundreds of thousands of people struggled to find food and water. The NCAA men’s basketball selection committee released its 68-team draw which included a record 11 teams from the Big East, the deepest conference in the nation. Today’s Birthdays: Jazz musician Roy Haynes is 87. Country singer Jan Howard is 82. Songwriter Mike Stoller is 79. Singer-songwriter Neil Sedaka is 73. Actor William H. Macy is 62. Actress Deborah Raffin is 59. Comedian Robin Duke is 58. Actress Glenne Headly is 57. Actress Dana Delany is 56. Rock musician Adam Clayton (U2) is 52. Jazz musician Terence Blanchard is 50. Actor Christopher Collet is 44. Rock musician Matt McDonough (Mudvayne) is 43. Actress Annabeth Gish is 41. Actress Tracy Wells is 41. Rapper-actor Common is 40. Singer Glenn Lewis is 37. Actor Danny Masterson is 36. Actor Emile Hirsch is 27. Singers Nicole and Natalie Albino (Nina Sky) are 26.

CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES FOR MARRIAGE NAME CHANGE
DEAR ABBY: Like “Standing My Ground in New Jersey” (Jan. 9), I had decided at a young age I had no interest in changing my last name if I were ever to be married. For me, the decision had nothing to do with an established career or a fear of losing myself. I simply never saw the point. Would you believe that I fell in love with and married a man who asked me how I felt about him taking MY last name? When he first mentioned the idea, I told him that he should think it through because a name change shouldn’t be taken lightly. Like “Standing,” my husband also had no father figure. He’s happy to now have a last name that finally “means something” to him. -- ERIN IN EL CAJON, CALIF. DEAR ERIN: That column produced a wide variety of responses from both men and women. However, most of my readers agree that “Standing” and her fiance have an important decision to make, and they should both step back and examine the options together. Their comments: DEAR ABBY: Most women around the world retain their names after marriage, and children take their mother’s name as their middle name and their father’s name as their last. It’s only in English-speaking countries that the tradition exists for women to take their husband’s last name. It originated from the time when wives were considered property. -- JANE IN FRANKLIN, TENN. DEAR ABBY: The decision to keep or change one’s name is a personal one. In my experience as a judge, I often see women ask for their maiden name to be restored to them upon a divorce. I also saw one case in which the husband in the divorce requested that his former name be restored to him. That
couple had used the wife’s name as their family name when they married. I agree with your response to postpone the decision until both of them have discussed the issue more fully. How they handle this decision will foretell how they will handle other decisions in the future. -- JUDGE TONYA IN FLORIDA DEAR ABBY: By “Standing” not changing her name, which is the cultural norm in this country, she will create years of confusion, hassle, constant explanations and identity issues for her, her husband and her future children. Her husband will also feel a sense of disconnect that is hard for her to understand. -- PATRICIA IN THE SOUTHWEST DEAR ABBY: “Standing” seems to miss the primary point about entering into a marriage. It’s not about standing your ground; it’s about meeting in the middle ground. Not once in her letter did she make a reference to the fact that what she and her fiance are doing is forming a new family of their own. I kept my maiden name and hyphenated it, but was proud that my husband, children and I ALL created the “Smith” family. -- SUSAN IN PORTLAND, MAINE DEAR ABBY: I was happy to change my name when I married the first time because I had little connection to my father’s family. As the marriage progressed, I felt a loss of personal identity. After the divorce, I adopted my grandfather’s name. Abby, the name change was also life-changing. I gained an identity and a legacy to continue. I think the name issue is as much about the insecurity of the man as the independence of the woman. -- DR. BETH IN GRANBURY, TEXAS
