Eaton withdraws from Conway rec. BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
EATON — The town has withdrawn from Conway's recreation department. Eaton selectman Richard Young said residents voted that they would like to pursue lower cost alternatives to paying $19,796 to
Conway for recreation. Instead, Eaton residents opted to budget about $8,150 to help residents pay for programs offered in other towns such as Freedom and Madison. This isn't the fist time Eaton has left Conway Recreation Department because of see EATON page 10
CONCORD — The only section of the Conway bypass actually scheduled for construction is going on hold unless the state can find a lot of money. And in this economic climate with this legislature, no one is really looking. The N.H. Department of Transportation's 10-year plan has the southern portion of the Conway bypass scheduled for 2015. It would route traffic around Conway Village to Redstone, take five years to build and cost $66 million. But unless the legislature reinstates a $30 fee set to expire in June, that plan will go out the window. “The reality is the money is going away,” DOT commissioner George Campbell said at a meeting with executive councilors on Wednesday. “Nobody is coming to save it.” The fee was added to car registrasee BYPASS page 11

SAT’s reality TV essay stirs frustrations (NY Times) — Every year, the SAT reduces more than a few teenage test-takers to tears. But few questions on the so-called Big Test appear to have provoked more anxious chatter — at least in this era of texting and online comment streams and discussion threads — than an essay prompt in some versions of the SAT administered last Saturday in which students were asked to opine on reality television. “This is one of those moments when I wish I actually watched TV,” one testtaker wrote on Saturday on the Web site College Confidential, under the user name “littlepenguin.” “I ended up talking about Jacob Riis and how any form of media cannot capture reality objectively,” he wrote, invoking the 19th-century social reformer. “I kinda want to cry right now.” Less than a minute later, a fellow test-taker identified as “krndandaman” responded: “I don’t watch tv at all so it was hard for me. I have no interest in reality tv shows...” Angela Garcia, executive director of the SAT program, said she did not think it was unfair to ask that question. “The primary goal of the essay prompt is to give students an opportunity to demonstrate their writing skills,” she said.

Qaddafi warns of assault on Benghazi as U.N. vote nears TRIPOLI, Libya (NY Times) — Colonel Muammar elQaddafi warned Benghazi residents on Thursday that an attack was imminent, as the United Nations Security Council seemed headed for a vote Thursday on a resolution authorizing not just a no-flight zone but additional steps to halt the movement of Colonel
Qaddafi’s forces. “We are coming tonight,” Colonel Qaddafi said. “You will come out from inside. Prepare yourselves from tonight. We will find you in your closets.” Speaking on a call-in radio show, he promised amnesty for those “who throw their weapons away” but “no mercy or compassion” for those who fight.
Rebel leaders doubted that the loyalist forces could mount an assault tonight, in that they were still fighting for control of Ajdabiya, 100 miles to the south of Benghazi, Thursday morning. But witnesses said there were skirmishes on the road to Benghazi in the afternoon, about 30 miles from Ajdabiya.
Taming reactors may take weeks
TOKYO (NY Times) — Amid widening alarm in the United States and elsewhere about Japan’s nuclear crisis, military fire trucks began spraying cooling water on spent fuel rods at the country’s stricken nuclear power station late Thursday after earlier efforts to cool the rods failed, Japanese officials said. The United States’ top nuclear official followed up his bleak appraisal of the grave situation at the plant the day before with a caution that it would “take some time, possibly weeks,” to resolve. The developments came as the authorities reached for ever more desperate and unconventional methods to cool damaged reactors, deploying helicopters and water cannons in a race to prevent
perilous overheating in the spent rods of the No. 3 reactor. Moments before the military trucks began spraying, police officers in water cannon trucks were forced back by high levels of radiation in the same area. The police had been trying to get within 50 yards of the reactor, one of six at the plant. The five specially fitted military trucks sprayed water for about an hour, but the full impact of the tactic was not immediately clear. The Japanese efforts focused on a different part of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, 140 miles northeast of here, from the reactor — No. 4 — depicted in Washington on Wednesday as presenting a far bleaker threat than the Japanese government had offered.

(NY Times) — Immigration enforcement in the United States is plagued by unjust treatment of detainees, including inadequate access to lawyers and insufficient medical care, and by the excessive use of prison-style detention, an international human rights group said Thursday. The group, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, issued those findings in a report that also criticized a federal program that allows county and state law enforcement officials to enforce federal immigration laws. The report said the government had failed to ensure that local police were not singling out people by race or detaining illegal immigrants on the pretext of investigating crimes. The commission, an arm of the Organization of American States, recommended that the federal government cancel the program, known as 287(g).

weapons they used. Gribble’s father, Richard Gribble, was the last witness for the defense. He identified the knives his son took with him for the burglary. The father and son rarely, if ever, made eye contact during the testimony. They last saw each other during a jail visit in July. “I told him that he suffered from center-of-the-universe syndrome,” Richard Gribble said. “And at that point, he said, ‘Well, maybe I don’t want to see you any more,’ and he left the phone and walked away.” He said his son was often able to twist the truth and manipulate people. Four other witnesses testified Thursday, including Spader’s ex-girlfriend, who talked about the nickname she had for Christopher Gribble -- Creepy Chris. —Courtesy of WMUR
AG ‘disappointed’ with progress of officer shooting investigation CONCORD — Two weeks after a 29-year-old man was shot by police and died, the attorney general is saying he is disappointed with the progress of the investigation. The family of Wayne Martin Jr. has been pleading for information on the case, but little has been released. Martin was killed March 2 in an apartment complex in Concord in what authorities called an officerinvolved shooting. Attorney General Michael Delaney said his office got involved in the investigation immediately, but he said investigators don’t have enough answers yet. “I am disappointed to report that we have not yet been able to advance the investigation to a point where we can determine whether or not this shooting was justified under the law,” he said. Officials have not said what police agency was involved in the shooting
or where on his body Martin was shot. “That information has not been disclosed publicly at this time, given the pendency of the investigation,” Delaney said. But Delaney said his office is working hard to get to the bottom of what happened, and he acknowledged the public interest in the case. “We obviously like to try and resolve these in a comprehensive manner, but in a way where we can report back,” he said. “But we’re just not in a position where we understand enough about what happened.” Delaney said anyone with information about the case should contact the attorney general’s office. Martin’s family said he was mentally ill, and neighbors described him acting erratically shortly before his death. His father is working with a victim’s advocate and has hired a lawyer. —Courtesy of WMUR

NASHUA — The defense has rested its case in the insanity trial of Christopher Gribble. Gribble has admitted killing Kimberly Cates and injuring her 11-yearold daughter in an October 2009 home invasion in Mont Vernon, but claims he was insane at the time. Defense lawyers rested after calling to the stand Gribble’s father and Autumn Savoy, who has admitted helping Gribble and Steven Spader hide evidence after the killing. Spader has been convicted of first-degree murder. According to Savoy, Gribble felt regret that he hadn’t killed Cates’ daughter, Jaimie, in the home invasion. Savoy faces five years in prison for helping Gribble and Spader cover up the crime. He said he listened to the men brag about the attacks and the

Proud of Conway citizens vote at meeting To the editor: Wow, I just watched the Conway School District Deliberative Session again and I couldn’t be prouder to be a citizen of Conway than I am right now! It always warms my heart to see people do the right thing and protect the most vulnerable of our society. Having a sister with severe disabilities I understand the need for others to protect those who cannot protect themselves. Last Wednesday we were in jeopardy of destroying our school system and the education of our most precious commodity, our children. The budget committee’s agenda was exposed and members confirmed the public’s belief that they were not really concerned with pesky true facts and figures. Dr. Rich Laracy is now not only a home town hero but known all over the Internet for his courage to speak truth to ignorance. We love you for that, and we thank you for exposing Mr. Shakir’s bigotry against those with disabilities of all kinds. After reading Mr. Marvel’s account of the meeting in the March 15 paper you would think that he had never attended a budget committee meeting, as I have seen Mr. Sordi and Mr. Shakir become much more rude and obnoxious to attendees than anyone in the room last Wednesday. I would suggest to Mr. Marvel that his derogatory comments about the current valedictorian were uncivil and reeked of the “politics of personal attack” that he decries in his column. I did not hear you Mr. Marvel
counter the comments of Mr. Shakir when you spoke. Do you agree with him that disabled children do not need to be educated because they will be on the public dole? I also noticed that NONE of the budget committee members clarified their stance on Mr. Shakir’s remarks as well. I would like to know why they didn’t, and why Mr. Drinkhall was so upset when Mr. Shakir was forced to leave the meeting by crowd correctly chanting for him to resign? Where was N.H. Representative and budget committee member Karen Umberger; how does she feel about Mr. Shakir’s statements? I have attended enough of the meetings to know that none of the members ever countered or clarified their views as different from Mr. Shakir’s. I would like to know more about each and every candidate for the upcoming election in April. I would like to make sure that our citizens, our children, our elderly, and the well being of our community are represented by our elected officials; we all learned what can happen when we don’t take personal responsibility to be informed and to vote. We need to stop pitting our elderly against our youth in an attempt to carry out your personal agendas on our community. I would also like to have confirmation of Mr. Shakir’s resignation and anyone else on the budget committee who feels the same way as Mr. Shakir. Kelly DeFeo South Conway

Dr. Richard Laracy, stood up to the bully To the editor: I am responding to Erik Eisele’s article on Ray Shakir’s views of educating children with special needs. It is important for people to understand the history of special education in the United States. The right to a free and appropriate education for children with disabilities was enacted into law in 1975 as the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (PL94-142). It was amended in 1990 and renamed Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Also in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law. Prior to 1975 many children with disabilities were not allowed into public schools, and were often sent away from their families to live in horrific state institutions. During the decades that followed, there has been friction between local communities, states and the federal government over the responsibility for funding the requirements under the law. When IDEA was first established, the federal government promised to fund 40 percent of the costs of providing Special Ed services. However, that promise was never realized and special education became a severely under-funded mandate which often places a heavy financial burden on local school districts. There was a lot of negative discussion at the Conway Budget Committee meetings this past year concerning special education, including suggestions to refuse to fund services for children with intensive special needs. What they fail to realize is that doing so would expose the town to a class action lawsuit (on which we could potentially spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on lawyer’s fees and compensatory services to children) and we would lose all our federal grants. Such irresponsible recommendations are inappropriate for a town budget committee to make to a school board. Advocating for adequate funding for special education is done on a state and federal level, not by
denying services to children at the local level. Aside from misunderstanding the implications of breaking the law, there is something much more alarming and frightening about the comments Mr. Shakir has made, and that is his serious lack of compassion and humanity. Communities need to come together and stand up to bullies like Mr. Shakir, who wants to “draw the line” and deny a public education to those students he deems to be “burdens to society.” At the school deliberative town meeting, a well-respected local pediatrician, Dr. Richard Laracy, stood up to the bully. In a respectful, calm manner he asked Mr. Shakir about his statements that are part of the public record of the budget committee. Mr. Shakir let his true colors shine as he unleashed his hateful diatribe on parents, children, and everyone in attendance. Dr. Laracy, obviously upset at what he was hearing, strongly and passionately told Mr. Shakir that his statements were illegal, immoral and called for his resignation. I would like to thank Dr. Laracy for stepping up to the plate and advocating for the children of our community. There are two quotes that mirror my feelings on this subject: “There is no place in our society for prejudice of any kind, yet it was not that long ago when Americans with disabilities were often not given equal rights and opportunities. Whether the cause was ignorance or indifference, it was not acceptable. We can all take pride in how much the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) has accomplished. Yet, there is always more to be done. As long as we never forget that every life is a miracle and each person has something to contribute, we will finish the job.” — George H.W.Bush, 2009. In response to Mr. Shakir “Ignorance is the worst disability” — Richard Laracy, 2011. Syndi White Conway

Would George Orwell Please Call Conway, N.H.?
For a certain segment of the population, the memory of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and its vast communist, dictatorial gulag and state security apparatus is still fresh. In addition, the Soviet propaganda machine and its “tool box” left an indelible mark on those who recall not only its heavy-handedness but also its corrupting influence on language and speech. The term “Orwellian,” defined by our friends at the Wikipedia as a “societal condition that … connotes an attitude and a policy of control by propaganda ... misinformation, denial of truth, and manipulation of the past” has its roots in George Orwell’s great novel, 1984, published in 1949. Certainly those who recall the USSR understood instinctively that Orwellian was the only term applicable to the use of such words as the “Democratic People’s Republic of...” as in DPR of Korea, the name of North Korea to this very day. The juxtaposition of the words democratic, people’s (as in belonging to the people) and republic and the reality of the world’s most repressive, closed, totalitarian regime illustrates how normal, accepted terms can be twisted beyond recognition in the service of propaganda. A much milder form of this bending of dictionary definitions to suit political purposes can be seen in many societies, including our own. Only in such an environment can an increase in the funding of a government program from one year to the next, at a rate slightly less than one side would wish, be termed a “cut.” However, lest we chuckle at the corruption of language amongst our national political class — which leads inevitably to corruption in general — we are forced to confront the identical phenomenon within our midst in Northern New Hampshire. Further, we are actually witnessing a practical application of many of the propaganda tricks and tools so skillfully used in the past by far more sinister regimes. But first, a few facts: • In international math and science tests, (TIMSS) under rigorous statistical control, United States students ranked 12th in grade 4, 28th in grade 8 and 19th in grade 12. Such powerhouses as Slovenia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Singapore and Lithuania ranked higher. • In reading, U.S. students ranked 14th in the world (PISA study - OECD), again outranked by such countries as Estonia, Poland and Iceland. • The New England Common Assessment Program Results which form the basis for New Hampshire school comparative testing show that 37 percent of 11th grade Kennett High School students perform at grade level in Math (Statewide, 33 percent), 77 percent at grade level in reading (Statewide, 73 percent) and 46 percent at grade level in writing (Statewide, 50 percent) — with grade level defined by “educational professionals.” What does all this mean? Quite simply that in a nation (the United States) that is educationally below average and educationally lagging in the industrialized world, the State of New Hampshire schools are way below that already abysmal level in math, science and writing and our local high school is below even that level in some areas. Even simpler, Kennett-educated students score at or lower than their low-scoring New Hampshire counterparts who score lower than the already low-scoring students in the United
States. Enter Mr. Orwell: how often do we read about the necessity to preserve the “excellent” schools, “excellent” teachers, “excellent” educational system and “excellent” results that we have here in the Mount Washington Valley? How many times do we hear that no meaningful cuts can be made without endangering the “excellent” system, results, teachers, administrators, etc. — and this despite significantly falling enrollments and other factors? Indeed, I would ask: in a below-average school system in a belowaverage state in a below-average country, how can the words “good” let alone “excellent” be used with a straight face? Analogous question: How can the words “democratic, people’s, republic” be used with a straight face when speaking of a country that is not democratic, the people’s or a republic? The answer to both questions lies in the application of the term Orwellian, that “societal condition that connotes an attitude and policy of control by propaganda, misinformation, denial of truth and manipulation of the past.” In the case of the “educational establishment” in Conway, the goal seems to be the preservation of the present regime with its control, perks, power and employment opportunities. When televised, the Soviet Politburo was always seen as a hall filled with unanimous applause for whatever was being promulgated by the leadership. No dissent was apparent, befitting a rubber stamp outfit. I have yet to hear from a single “local” here since moving to Conway 6 1/2 years ago, anything but the following advice: “Don’t even bother to go to any school board meetings, let alone the deliberative sessions — they are always packed with folks ‘bussed in’ for the occasion and you will be shouted down.” And this from people prominent now and in the past in our community: selectmen, businessmen, physicians and others. One need only look at the mob rule on display last week at the deliberative meeting to see how sadly true this all is. I would submit that continuation of ANYTHING that currently exists educationally in this community guarantees more belowaverage results in a below-average state in a below-average country. Even being number one academically in New Hampshire is meaningless given where New Hampshire and the United States stand in the world. I would further submit that in any enterprise not held hostage by an organized, self-perpetuating clique, the current process and methodology would be completely dismantled under a well-know procedure called “process re-engineering” applicable to any process in any enterprise where results are totally unsatisfactory and failing. Ultimately, the voters of our district, woefully bamboozled and fed a steady diet of timely propaganda (“I predict drop out levels will drop to zero”) will have to awaken from their lethargy, demand the total dismantling of the Conway Education Association, the Conway School Board and the entire educational hierarchy if anything other than being below average in a state that is below average in a country that is below average is to be our lot. But maybe a C minus school in a C minus state in a C minus country is good enough ... Dan Morgenstern is a heart surgeon and lives in Conway .

EVERYONE WELCOME
To the editor: The recent Conway School District deliberative meeting demonstrated the differences between the therapeutic view of human nature and the “realist” view. The therapeutic view, due to the affluence brought about by 50 years of American prosperity, has largely triumphed over the realist view, which is now regarded as the domain of the embittered and the mean-spirited. One important facet of the therapeutic mindset is the belief that the perception of need is what matters, and that all else must be adjusted to meet that perception. If reality does not match the dream, someone must make it go away. How does this apply to the Conway School Budget debate? The Conway School Board and the municipal budget committee both have fiduciary responsibility to the taxpayers, as specified by N.H. RSA. The Conway School Board, which has both operating and default budget oversight responsibility for the district, has primary oversight (including line item reduction) of the school district’s administration, while the municipal budget committee can only recommend approval, disapproval, or adjustment of the district’s bottom line. In the current budget cycle, the Municipal Budget Committee requested in writing that the Conway School Board consider a truly level funded budget and also examine the possibility of a 5 percent reduction. This November 2010 request never received the courtesy of a response. As part of their deliberations, the Conway School Board did require the administration to determine the impacts of a $1 million and $1.5 million reduction, but when criticized for this action, quickly reversed course. As an interesting aside, several members of the community, including the wife of the former Kennett High School principal, continually blamed the municipal budget committee for the school board’s requirement, despite being corrected on this point by the chairman of the municipal budget committee. This “reduction” action, even if it had been implemented, would only have returned the $1.3 million bond issue monies that were absorbed into the operating budget in the previous cycle. The school board elected to return the majority of a much smaller bond issue ($263,000) paid off in this cycle. It is my personal belief that the Conway Municipal Budget Committee conducted a detailed review of the school district’s proposed budget, and attempted to determine what were critical school functions, essential to
providing a quality education to our children, important functions, and functions that could be handled in a different manner or be reduced due to the reduction in the student population. In the later category, privatization of student bus transportation could result in immediate significant savings, as the cost of buses, repairs, insurance, fuel and driver retirement payments would be rolled into the contract. Another example of a possible reduction came from Kevin Richards, who has been quoted as saying that the number of teacher teams at Kennett Middle School could be reduced when the student population of the middle school fell below 300 students. There are many other changes that could be implemented that would begin the process of cost containment, without significant impact on the essential and important tasks of the schools. As the student population falls, and the costs of repair of our aging schools continues to increase, consolidation of our elementary school population and infrastructure warrants implementation. While it will be a difficult task to sell politically, forward looking and effective leadership in the school district and the board can make this happen. Is the current leadership team up to the task? The bottom line — the Conway School District cannot afford another decade of 7.2 percent annual increases, which results in a doubling of the budget every 10 years. I have not even discussed what will happen to the local costs of the school district if federal funds and state funds are substantially reduced, while their mandates remain in force, for neither the state or the federal government will easily relinquish control once assumed. Being the realist (cynic) that I am, I believe that the state will push even more of the costs of their mandates to the towns, as the towns are administrative units of the state. The Feds, with a 2011 deficit of $1.65 trillion, projected deficits of $1 trillion annually, and a total debt today of $14 plus trillion, will have to begin the process of substantial reductions in expenditures if the United States is to avoid a Weimar Republic-style collapse. These reductions will affect everyone, seniors, the generation coming into adulthood today, and their children. We can sit here collectively fat, dumb and happy, in a therapeutic state of mind, engaged in class warfare, or we can start the process of fixing the problem, and that process starts in our community.

Never lose sight of commitment, sacrifice of military To the editor: Thanks to Tom Eastman and The Conway Daily Sun for the excellent articles about the promotion of Lori Robinson. Our families appreciate the time and interest you have given to Lori and her family. While our family appreciates your continued support, we must always remember and never lose sight of the commitment and sacrifice our mili-
tary members and their families have made in the defense of our freedoms. In today’s conflicts, never before in our history has our nation asked so much of our military and they, in return, have unselfishly given whatever was needed, some to the full measure, to meet the tasks laid before them. For all our families, George Howard Jackson
Political fireworks at Tamworth town meeting
THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Friday, March 18, 2011— Page 9
BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
TAMWORTH — A petition to abolish the conservation commission was a sideshow at town meeting on March 9. The main events were fights over spending increases and employee raises. The action started when resident David Giampietro went after selectmen. He said the board was proposing to increase spending by 18.8 percent over last year. Apparently, he was comparing 2010's total spending (all warrant articles) of $2,203,769 to 2011's total proposed spending of $2,618,628. Giampietro charged that various lines in the general administration budget (article 20) were up by double-digit percentages. Heating and electrical costs doubled. "I've been involved in budgeting in private industry for over 30 years and it's unconscionable to raise something this much year over year," said Giampietro who wondered how selectmen put the budget together. "We can't go up 18.8 percent without solid justification. We have some of the highest taxes in all of Carroll County. I know the school is the big part of that, but these also contribute." Taxes are a hot topic in Tamworth. In 2010, homeowners were paying a rate of $17.50 per $1,000 of property value. The town portion was $3.71 and the school portion was $10.91, according to the 2010 Town Report. Selectman Bob Abraham addressed Giampietro's concerns about town expenses. Abraham said last year the board budgeted $4,000 on electric costs. But they actually spent $5,122. This year, they are asking for $5,000. Also, the selectmen are asking for about $6,500 more in general building maintenance. The reason is they need to bring the town office into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Also health insurance is going up 16 percent. Selectman Willie Farnum responded to Giampietro by comparing 2010's approved budget to the end of the year spending. Selectmen budgeted $2,439,186 but only spent $2,203,769. That means they saved about $235,000. Further, Farnum said residents had just voted down some of the proposed spending. The voters eliminated 10 capital reserve funds and also chose not to spend $32,000 on maintenance for proposed sidewalks. The sidewalks won't be built because the money wasn't approved. Much of the proposed spending increase is $150,000 for an emergency repair and response line item. The line item helps to take the place of the capital reserve funds. It would only be spent for serious emergencies such as a bridge collapse or a fire. Eliminating the reserve funds amounts to about half of the increase from the emergency response line item. "It's going to be strictly for an emergency situation," said Farnum. "It would be appropriated every year but hopefully we will never have to spend it." Planning board member David Little encouraged residents to abolish the capital reserve funds because they lose value to inflation. As an example, last year the capital reserve funds earned 0.2 percent and the inflation rate was about 1.6 percent. Residents accepted Little's explanation and abolished the capital reserve by a vote of 209 to 77. "It (a capital reserve fund) is like carrying water in a leaky bucket," said Little. "The farther you go, the more you lose." Before they were abolished, the capital reserves had been there to cover everything from saving for new fire trucks to road paving. In total, abolishing the capital reserve funds returned about $85,000 to the general fund. Residents approved Little's recommendation by a vote of 209 to 77. But resident Alexandra Cook calculated the town only lost about $5.54 to inflation last year. Cook opposed abolishing the capital reserves. Another spending item was a warrant article calling for $25,000 to bring the Town House into compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act and
make other improvements. The article passed, which allows voting day to be held at the Town House once again. Selectmen took more heat when residents began asking about employee raises. Board members replied that in recent years employees have only gotten Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA). But this year they deserved more. Resident Sally Ann Garcia made a motion to remove the 5 percent for pay increases. She said people on fixed incomes received no COLA last year or this year. "This town cannot afford that at this time," said Garcia. Abraham said last year employees only received 3 percent COLA raises, but that number was supposed to be 5 percent. This year's budget includes a 2.8 percent COLA increase and also a 2.2 percent raise. "We felt that all of the people in the town deserved a raise, which they haven't got, other than the COLA for a long time," said Abraham. "To be fair to every employee, this budget represents a 5 percent increase."
A few years ago, the COLA rate was 5.8 percent but the employees got no increase, said Farnum. The following year, employees got 3 percent raise. "We were after the rest of it in this budget," said Farnum. "They are three years behind." Moderator Chris Canfield ruled Garcia's motion out of order because she couldn't come up with a specific amount of money to cut. "Numbers are what we are going to be working with," said Canfield. Resident Rebecca Mason made a motion to decrease the general administration budget from $759,299 to $652,000. She said there are many elderly people who are struggling with increased costs for fuel, medication, and food. "The economy is going to drain everybody this coming year," said Mason. "There is no foresight that these economic times are going to do anything except get worse." Resident John Cleveland said the bottom line town spending figure, $2.68 million, represents an see TAMWORTH page 10

increase of 6.8 percent. Much of that is the emergency line item. But abolishing the capital reserve funds allows selectmen to have money to offset that cost and only increase taxes by 3.3 percent. Ultimately, Mason's motion failed. Voters then approved the general administration budget at $759,299. Earlier in the evening, voters chose not to abolish the conservation commission. Prior to that vote, a woman asked the selectmen to state their positions on the article. Both Farnum and John Roberts said they favored keeping the conservation commission. When Abraham said he hadn't made up his mind, Roberts chided Abraham for not answering. "I didn't expect to be thrown under the bus quite this early," Abraham replied. "I will see if I can crawl out from under it. At this time I would vote to keep the conservation commission. But you are the ones that are going to tell us one way or another. We will enforce it either way you chose." Roberts thanked Abraham for

a cost increase. In 2006, Conway recreation changed the formula it uses to charge Eaton. In previous years, Eaton had been charged based on the number of people who use Conway's programs. But then, the formula changed to being based on property values. "Kids had gone there since the beginning of time," said Young. "Then they changed the formula. It was nothing we asked for." When the formula changed in 2006, the amount that Conway recreation charged Eaton jumped from $6,361 to $14,919. That year, Eaton withdrew, but it returned the year after. In 2010, Conway recreation charged Eaton just over $20,000 but only five Eaton children used the program.
making up his mind and letting the people know his decision. "Maybe I did throw him under the bus," Roberts concluded. "There was no question in my mind that we were going to be polled on this, and I think we should be." Most residents spoke in favor of keeping the conservation commission. The residents said that the conservation commission has a vital role in keeping the town beautiful. Petitioner Ernie Mills said he thought the conservation commission was costing Tamworth jobs by protecting land that could be used for development. Another interesting flash point occurred when some residents balked at a petition warrant article to spend $15,500 for Bearcamp Valley School and Children Center, which provides child care before and after school. Critics wondered why the center deserved public funding. Others questioned if it's appropriate to fund such a program when teachers are being laid off from the KA Brett School. But those arguments failed and the article passed.
The number of Eaton children enrolled in Conway rec. program has declined dramatically from a high of 54 in 2005. Conway town manager Earl Sires said Eaton's departure means Conway will receive about $22,000 less revenue. He was disappointed to hear that Eaton is leaving. Sires explained the formula used for Eaton and Albany is also used to fund other services such as solid waste and the schools. Eaton and Albany paid 6 percent of the total cost of recreation. "They wanted to pay a fee for each participant that was well below the actual cost to provide rec services," said Sires. "It would be totally unfair to discount the cost for other towns and in essence allow them to pay less than Conway residents."

tions in 2009 as a stopgap budget measure. It was supposed to last two years to give the legislature time to figure out a better way to fund the DOT. No solutions materialized, however, and the fee is about to expire. Gov. John Lynch included the fee in his proposed budget for the next two years, but legislators are anxious to get rid of it. There is a bill in the Senate to eliminate it even earlier than the June 30 expiration date. "These are the facts, the money isn't there," said executive councilor Chris Sununu. "These are the realities of the times." “I don’t think we should be looking at it as an additive or deleting process,” Campbell said. The DOT re-evaluates the 10-year plan every two years, building on the previous 10-year plan. This next cycle, Campbell said, the DOT might take a zerobased budgeting approach and create a new plan from the ground up. “Right or wrong, the Republican leadership has said it isn’t going to support any new taxes or fees,” said state Rep. Gene Chandler, R-Bartlett, chair of the House Public Works and Highways Committee. “Obviously it’s going to have a big impact.” The biggest cuts will be among the projects dropped from the 10-year plan. “We’re going to have $28 million less a year,” Campbell said, which means three to seven projects have to be cut each construction season, although more projects could be at risk. The southern portion of the Conway bypass is on the list of projects DOT says would be postponed for an undetermined period of time. It would go into the same scheduling limbo as the central and northern portions — on the books but not set for any specific date. “Nothing is cast in concrete here,” said Michael King, executive director of the North Country Council, the regional planning commissions that
“The Conway bypass is very honestly a big target” because of its cost and the fact it’s a new project, not maintenance on existing infrastructure. works with DOT on projects in Carroll county. He notified the town of Conway of the possible cuts. “The Conway bypass is very honestly a big target,” he said, because of its cost and the fact it’s a new project, not maintenance on existing infrastructure. Others question if it's political. “Did they pick the Conway because I’m the chairman of the Public Works Committee?” Chandler said. The DOT says it had good reason for the projects that were selected, Conway among them. Projects that expand the state’s road network were more likely to get dropped than maintenance projects on existing infrastructure. If the Conway bypass does go on hold, however, it could impact more than just the start date. The project permits could be in jeopardy. “Potentially and eventually,” DOT spokesman Bill Boynton said, the permits could expire, “depending on how long the delay was.” The main permit, issued by the Army Corps of Engineers, is valid through 2020, according to Don Lyford, the DOT engineer who has been working on the project since 1993. The permit has already been extended once, he said, and it’s not clear how many more times the Army Corps of Engineers can do that. The Army Corps of Engineers did not return calls in time for this story. Reporter Erik Eisele can be reached erik@conwaydailysun.com

(R-Hooksett) that provides a state education funding formula that ensures that no community sees a change into its education funding from the current fiscal year. “This bill will make sure that no community sees the type of radical shift in school funding that we would see under the current formula," House Speaker William O’Brien (R-Mont Vernon) stated in a release. "By keeping our communities whole, this will provide certainty to our local governments, and we will keep our promise not to downshift state costs to the property taxpayers. Additionally, this legislation would allow the state a better opportunity to target aid to poor cities and towns that truly need help. Rep. Hess has done a great job in crafting a law that goes hand-in-hand with CACR 12, the constitutional amendment, passed by the House Wednesday, to restore local control back to our schools.” "This is a big first step," Rep. Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett) said by phone, Thursday from Concord just minutes after the vote. "Of course it still has to pass through the Senate and then it will go to the governor's desk. The Senate has a similar bill, of which I am a cosponsor; both would eliminate the possibility donor towns for the foreseeable future. I think it's good news for the towns that were on the (possible donor town lists)." Chandler was confident the Senate will pass its bill to eliminate donor towns. Gov. John Lynch could veto the bill, but the House/Senate have the votes to override such a veto. “As a co-sponsor of this legislation, I’m pleased to see it move forward," House Majority Leader D.J. Bettencourt stated. "This replaces the Democrats’ failed funding formula and gives us the chance to target education aid, so that we can begin to move away from divisive spreadsheet politics and the constant race to the courthouse. This is a durable solution that makes sure that towns are held harmless and ensures that we do not go back to donor towns."
There are nine communities in Carroll County that have been told they'll be donor towns next July: Bartlett, $228,825; Eaton, $72,593; Freedom, $521,415; Hale's Location, $162,004; Hart's Location, $14,730; Jackson, $543,538; Moultonboro, $3,879,463; Sandwich, $394,116; and Wolfeboro, $822,007. "The numbers are all subject to the legislature," Carl Nelson, school superintendent, said, and cautioned the Conway School Board that it may not receive any additional funds in December. "These are numbers the N.H. Department of Education is required to give us by November 15 using the old (funding formula); that's why I presented the Conway board with a best- and worst-case scenario for revenues. Under the best case it would receive the extra $1 million, while, under the worst case, funding would be identical to last year. "I think it's important to refer to the letter from state (Dr. Judith Fillion, director of the Division of Program Support for N.H. Department of Education)," he continued, "especially in the last paragraph where it said, 'For purposes of local budgeting, no municipality should expect to receive substantially more or less adequacy education grants than it received in fiscal year 2011.' For budgeting purposes Conway is not counting on that $1 million." In Fillion's letter, dated Nov. 15, she wrote: "These amounts are estimates only based on the current adequacy formula. The formula is subject to review and change by the legislature in the upcoming legislative session. As such, the estimated adequacy grants reflected in this notice may change prior to the fiscal year." The scheduled return of full-fledged donor towns harkens back to between 1999 and 2005 when some towns were forced to "donate" money to Concord for the redistribution to other municipalities, some of which used the money for non-educational purposes. The two-year education funding transition ends in July 1, when New Hampshire's formula defining the cost of an adequate education takes effect. It requires the state to raise $363.5 million from the Statewide Education Property Tax (SWEPT) for
education funding, approximately one-third of the state's total education funding bill, and defines the base adequate cost of education at $3,450 per student. The 39 municipalities, and seven unincorporated communities, which have the state's highest property wealth per student, would have had to combine to raise an extra $16 million. Under the formula, Derry was set to lose $7 million, while Manchester was slated to get $29 million more in funding and Nashua would receive almost $13 million more. Portsmouth, which also was scheduled to be a donor town, formed the Coalition Communities in 1999. It's a group of 36 towns arguing for a longterm and sustainable education funding solution that provides equal education opportunity to every child without "donor" towns. "Stretching from one end of New Hampshire to the other, and ranging in size from tiny Hart's Location to the bustling City of Portsmouth, the communities in our coalition share a common goal: to find a long-term, sustainable education funding solution that provides equal education opportunity to every schoolchild," the website (www.cityofportsmouth. com/coalition) states. "Our members believe the state must establish a method to ensure truly needy communities receive extra help to meet that goal. We also believe one community should not be forced to fund education in another, as is the case under a 'donor' town — or negative aid — system. "Our coalition believes the facts and figures don't lie: Relying heavily on the statewide property tax to fund education doesn't work, isn't fair and isn't financially sustainable over the long term," the website continues. "Since its inception in 1999, the coalition has battled on many fronts against the statewide property tax to fund education, including in the courts and the Legislature. It also has undertaken studies in-house and also hired the highly respected firm of Almy, Gloudemans, Jacobs and Denne, which concluded that it's 'impossible' to implement the state property tax in a proportionate and constitutional manner."
West Ossipee fire chief suspended BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
OSSIPEE — West Ossipee fire commissioners suspended fire chief Brad Eldridge at their meeting on March 7. Now, they are having a hard time getting a hold of him. Fire commissioner Greg Howard said deputy chief Carl Huddleson will be acting as chief until the issue is resolved. The commission has been trying to get Eldridge to answer some questions, but no one has been able to reach him for a number of days. Late last week Eldridge returned keys to the command vehicle and the building. He hasn't been heard from by commissioners since. The decision to suspend Eldridge,
with pay, comes after the chief had two unexcused absences from meetings on Feb. 21 and March 7. At the March 7 meeting, Eldridge was expected to officially explain what happened to Engine 3. Residents and commissioners were wondering where the fire truck went. In February, Eldridge told this newspaper that the truck is in South Carolina and being advertised as for sale on the Internet. Eldridge said he felt the truck had a better chance of selling down South. Eldridge has served as chief for over two decades. Eldridge said he was sick on Feb. 21. The fire commissioners will meet again March 21 at 7 p.m. at the central fire station, which is across from Whittier House Restaurant.
Rumors of weapon in school 'blown out of proportion' FREEDOM — Rumors that a child brought a weapon into the elementary school have been greatly exaggerated, according to the police chief and SAU 13 superintendent. On Thursday, police chief Josh Shackford said he wanted to set the record straight. Last week, a student accidentally brought a small jackknife to school. The child had gone ice fishing the day before and forgot the knife in his pocket. The child did not make any threats. "There was never any danger and no arrests," said Shackford. "It has
been blown out of proportion. The students at Freedom Elementary are in good hands" Some parents have called for parental notification about this incident. But superintendent Jay McIntire said out of concern for the child's privacy, he had hoped to keep this incident low key by not acknowledging it. McIntire agreed that no children were ever in any danger. Principal Corinne Rocco handled the incident in such a way that no other students knew it was happening. — Daymond Steer
Jarell keeps seat on Madison School Board after recount MADISON — A recount of the school board race confirms that Sloane Jarell has defeated Sarah Parsons. The recount was conducted at town hall on Thursday morning. The result of the recount was 252 to 241 in favor of Jarell. The race actually had three people seeking two seats. Both Jarell and Parsons were incumbents. But challenger Bruce Brooks received the most votes with 315. Parsons trailed Jarell by nine votes in the first count. — Daymond Steer

Assistant county attorney Susan Boone receives award
OSSIPEE — The Child Advocacy Center awarded Deputy Assistant County Attorney Susan Boone, right, the “Everyday Hero Award” on Tuesday, March 16. Carroll County Child Advocacy Center director Liz Kelley (left) said Boone deserved the award because of the compassion she has for children who are abuse victims. Boone is second in command at the Carroll County Attorney’s Office under County Attorney Tom Dewhurst. She has worked at the office since 2007. “Prosecuting child abuse cases is very demanding and difficult work, but Boone never loses sight of the holistic needs of the children she works with,” said Kelley. “Although she labors tirelessly to ensure a conviction for the children and families that she serves, she is aware that that is only one piece of the puzzle. Susan’s main goal is always getting children to a place where they can heal and move on from the abuse that they have encountered.”

Soup, story, and song extravaganza Saturday TAMWORTH — Join The Community School in South Tamworth from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, March 19, for the fifth annual Soup, Story, and Song extravaganza. Enjoy a big bowl of seafood chowder, lamb stew, turkey and rice soup, or a vegetarian green curry soup — made with a host of local ingredients. Grab a hunk of Sunnyfield Bakery or Grammy Gordon’s bread to soak up the juices and save room for a cookie, brownie or slice of cake. While eating, talented singer-songwriter Ed Fayle will play some tunes. The Community School students Will Streeter and Skylar Allen will dazzle you with their fiddle and ukulele duo. Cathy Arseneault-Shea and Jim Shea have worked up some world music numbers and they’re bringing a big selection of drums so those who want to can join in the fun. This year delight in three bang-up storytellers. Heidi Fayle will take the stage once again, following up on last year’s heart wrenching and joyful “The Hero Of Bremen,” with a Scottish folktale. Once Fayle has the audience in the palm of her hand, she’ll turn over the stage to Claes Thelemarck who will likely pull a tidbit of local lore out of his cap. Seven-year old Henry Moneypenny has polished a ghost story of his own, “The Phantom 309.” There will be plenty of food made with local ingredients (lamb from Schoolhouse Farm, an assortment of fish from the Locke Falls Farm fish share, turkey raised at Stanton Brook Farm, milk from Red Gable Farm, vegetables galore from The Community School, Mad Hen Farm, Booty Farm and more). The meal and entertainment are served up by donation. RSVP to reserve a bowl or for more information at 323-7000.

Jessica Pappalardo: More than just an act BY ALEC KERR
THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
Jessica Pappalardo, a junior at Kennett High School, has appeared in several community theater productions since her freshman year. She has worked with both Arts in Motion and M&D Production and has appeared in “Grease,” “Bare,” “Rent” and “Ordinary People.” Pappalardo is also in the Kennett High Glee Club and was in the top five placing video that was entered into FOX 23’s Glee For All competition. She can currently be seen in “The Wizard of Oz.” When did you get interested in singing and acting? It all started in elementary school. Acting was kind of a big thing at my elementary school. We didn’t have really big productions, but I started getting into that more because my home room advisor was actually the drama teacher and she saw that I had a big interest in it. The community theater really started my freshman year. I tried out for “Grease” with Arts in Motion and that’s kind of where it all started from there. see PAPPALARDO page 20

Spring has sprung, judging by the suddenly warmer weather — and by the saps, er, sap's running (and we're not just talking about all the candidates running for office!). In the middle of Wednesday's snow squalls, as we went out to our car to start the day, we heard the comforting sound of a flock of geese honking overhead — always a good sign from Mother Nature of the change in the seasons. Other signs of the change are found by the events that take place on the annual calendar locally. Some of those harbingers of the changing season?

skiing for those lucky enough to have the day off. And, to cap it all off, the Red Parka Pub Challenge Cup returns to Attitash today, March 18, with a full field, according to the RPP's Terry O’Brien and Cindy Schwartz. “Preregistration is up over last year, so it's very exciting,” said Terry. “We've got a bunch of new ames, along with the usual cast of characters.” According to Terry, the qualifiers start at 9:30 a.m., with the finals probably taking place anywhere from 11:30 a.m. to noon. All should be done by 3 or 3:30 p.m., to be followed by the awards and raffle drawings. Proceeds from the great raffle and the race benefit the ESSC's Junior Ski Program. Among the items? An Adirondack chair, which has been built by Mike Bellino of Ski Chair, a local company which makes all sorts of gear using old skis. The names of all past RPP Challenge Cup winners will be engraved on the chair's arms — which means that the chair ought to have Olympic and pro skiing great Tyler Palmer's name three times, as he is a three-time winner.

It was also a blast for all those who love to, as Schneider would say, “Bend ze knees” as we make our way down the slopes. A highlight of the weekend was the traditiona; folk dancing of a team of seven visiting Austrians Friday night, and the induction that night at Zip's Pub of the inaugural members to the Cranmore Snowsports Hall of Fame: Hannes Schneider (1890-1955), Herbert Schneider, 90; fellow 10th Mountain veteran John McDonald, Austrian Olympian and past Cranmore instructor Edi Mall, and longtime instructor Danny Grant. John McDonald wowed 'em all with his and veteran instructor's Eric Styffe’s yodeling prowess at the microphone on stage. Nicely done, men.

PAPPALARDO from page 14
Do you want to pursue that as a career? I think pursuing it as a career would be really tough. Of course I would love to. It would be like a dream, but I don’t know if that is really my place. Do you think you will continue to perform throughout your life? Definitely. I definitely love to. I’ve just started, so I hope this is just the beginning and I’ll do a lot more in my life. What was your first experience like doing community theater? It wasn’t that tough. Arts in Motion helped a lot because it was a school play, so you had a lot of your friends there. Diving right into it, especially since “Grease” was a very big production, it was kind of intimidating at first, but once you get more into it it gets easier along the way. That first experience is really scary, but I got used to it. Do you have a preference for musical theater or straight drama? I’ve actually done all musicals up until “Ordinary People,” which was in the fall. That was my first drama. I like musicals I think more because I enjoy singing more. A drama was definitely a little more harder, but I enjoyed it just as much. “Ordinary People” is obviously a very heavy show and you obviously played a very dark character, so how did you approach that? A lot of it was personal experience. Not saying I want to kill myself, I’ve never wanted to do anything that heavy. With all acting you take it from yourself, your personal life, your background and I haven’t had such a perfect life, not that anyone has. I took a lot from my own life and I put it out on stage. What has this last show, “The Wizard of Oz,” been like? “The Wizard of Oz?” Oh gosh. I love doing M&D plays. This was really fun. It is a lot different, well, not entirely different, but it is different for an M&D production because it is a very popular play. I’m Glinda and I’ve never really played a happy role. My past characters haven’t been the most peppiest and jovial, but this one was a lot of fun because I could just smile all the time and have fun with it instead of crying or anything. It must be freeing to do something like “Wizard of Oz” where you can go as big as you want and it is OK.

Yeah, there is no over-the-top. Over-the-top is good. Always just have a bunch of facial expressions. You don’t have to hold back, and I love that. How would you compare Arts in Motion and M&D? I imagine it is a different experience with both. I think it is more like the directors are different. Arts in Motion works more with students and it is kind of more of a starting point. I started with Arts in Motion, which is good because they’ve helped me and they’ve always been helping me. I enjoy doing plays with them. M&D is more where you have to start branching out and you have to kind of do more with yourself. I don’t know how to describe it, but it goes Arts in Motion and then M&D is where you really start opening up as an actor. What do you hope to do when you get out of school? I’m not quite sure yet. I’ve looked into, recently, music management and merchandising and I think that’s where I am going to try and start. I’m actually going to visit colleges in New York over April vacation and hoping that I’ll find something that I like there. Are there any schools you are particularly looking into? Nazareth, Syracuse, I don’t know yet. University of New Haven in Connecticut. There are so many choices. Are there any other acting jobs on the horizon? Have you auditioned for anything? I am in the KHS Glee Club. That’s fun. I think that’s all. I was thinking of joining chorus. I might do a dance for a gym credit next year. But other than a career, I think community theater is all I have so far. How’s the Glee Club been? Were you in the video? I was in the video. We went to Good Day Maine and it was an awesome experience. You’d think you’d be close to students, but once your in team and you compete together, we’d go out to dinner, and we’d have the greatest time. It is starting up next month and we are going to get new people in it and I’m really excited. You do think, where ever you are, you will try to do community theater? I think so. I get out all my emotions. I’ve met so many people. I’m friends with a lot of actor. I’ve met a lot of talented people. I’d really like to. I’m really glad I got into this and I just want to continue with it.

Movie Review: ‘The Adjustment Bureau’
The sci-fi romance thriller “The Adjustment Bureau” is a reminder of the power of movies to affect us in unexpected ways and bring things to the fore that otherwise would have stayed dormant. After seeing “The Adjustment Bureau” I had the sort of meaningful father-son conversation you only see in, well, the movies. Any film that can do that must be doing something right. “The Adjustment Bureau” is based on a story by Philip K. Dick, whose writing has been the inspiration for such films as “Blade Runner,” “Total Recall” and “Minority Report.” The scale of this latest adaptation is much smaller than those fillns and plays like a feature-length episode of “The Twilight Zone.” The high-concept premise has David Norris, a politician (Matt Damon), meeting Elise, a dancer (Emily Blunt, “The Devil Wears Prada”), and having an instant connection, but the men of the titular bureau serve a higher power that must keep things to a specific plan. David and Elise being together is not part of the plan. David accidentally gets a behind-the-scenes peek into the world of the bureau and is told to forget Elise. The problem is chance, something the bureau can't control, keeps bringing them together. This forces adjuster John Slattery
Reel Reviews ––––– Alec Kerr
(“Mad Men”) and his fellow members of the bureau go to greater lengths to keep them apart. Writer George Nolfi, directing his first film, finds the right touch for the material. It doesn't take a stretch of the imagination to figure out what the adjustment bureau is a metaphor for, but the film never gets heavy handed or preachy with its premise. There's a sense of fun throughout the film. The way Slattery's Richardson contrives to keep David and Elise apart and how David keeps out-thinking him is genuinely clever. It is a solid catand-mouse game that is often ingenious and very entertaining. What makes the film special is its two leads. Damon and Blunt are a perfect couple from the first second they appear together on screen. Right from their first scene, the audience is hooked. We want them to be together. Every one of their scenes together has a romantic spark that hasn't been seen in movies for some time. Their chemistry is palpable and they trade barbs with the same precision you'd see
in classic screwball comedies. Nolfi's script gives Damon and Blunt dialogue with real wit that they couldn't have delivered any better. It is on the strength of their performance that the film works even when things like magic hats that allow the wearer to open a door and travel anywhere in the city are introduced. As silly as that may sound, there is actually a thrilling climatic chase in which Damon and Blunt jump around New York City using one of these hats. While Damon and Blunt are the heart of film, the brain of the film is Anthony Mackie (“The Hurt Locker”) as a sympathetic adjuster. Damon and Mackie have several philosophical conversations that give the film weight. Damon and Blunt are well supported. Slattery along with Terrance Stamp, who makes an appearance in the film as an employee higher up in the bureau, have tricky roles. They are preventing the protagonists from being apart, but they aren't traditional villains. When confronting Damon, the dynamic is almost like a principal scolding a delinquent student. In an era of increasingly more bombastic action films, it is a pleasure and relief to see a thriller about ideas, people and love rather than explosions.

Maple weekend at Remick Museum starts March 19 I was disappointed I had to miss the Arts Council’s jazz concert at the Brass Heart Inn on Saturday. JoAnne Rainville kindly sent me a report of the evening, which began at The Other Store with a Mardi Gras-inspired menu. Dinner was followed by a jazz performance at the Brass Heart Inn led by 21 year old saxophonist, Hailey Niswanger. Other members of the quartet: Christian Li (electronic piano) Shin Salaino (upright and electronic Bass) and Robert Giaquinto (drums). The performance included original compositions and the audience was very enthusiastic. Thanks to the Arts Council for bringing this talented quartet to Tamworth and to Karen Williams for producing the event.

DILBERT
by Scott Adams
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your mode of transportation could use some attention. Whether it’s better shoes or a better car, there’s something that is within your power to upgrade, and this is the luckiest day in months to do so. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You expect much of yourself, and you will often deliver on these expectations, but not always. When you don’t quite make it, the key is to be patient and try again. There’s no need for anger; nor is there time for it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are motivated only slightly by money. Your true desire is to know more about this existence. You thirst for knowledge, and you think a lot about what is true. That is precisely how you will spend many of your hours. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The need to feel powerful is basic and exists in animals, as well as people. All indicators suggest that you can’t help it that you are highly ambitious and thrilled to be in charge. So embrace your need to lead, and go for it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will free-associate yourself into a poetic state of mind. Your creativity is a delight to all around you. There is no greater thrill for you today than to put something in the world that wasn’t there before. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 18). Though you are classy and appropriate, this year you will speak your mind and behave as you please to a greater extent. April brings a windfall. Over the next 10 weeks, many will find the glamour and mystery around you most entrancing. Be judicious with your schedule, giving loved ones the most of yourself. Capricorn and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 31, 24, 39 and 41.
Get Fuzzy
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll pursue your ambitious dreams and make sacrifices to get ahead. You won’t mind working long, though this becomes unpleasant if you know that others are waiting at home for you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re a little like a homing pigeon who will enjoy flight and exploration as long as you can return to roost. You need your freedom, but at the end of this day, you won’t mind being contained in a safe and cozy environment. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Part of you really wants to be included in a situation you don’t easily fit into. You don’t know why -- that is a mystery and probably not worth getting into. You will eventually make your way in, though. CANCER (June 22-July 22). People study to learn what you already know instinctively. You will influence others without thinking, persuade them without talking, comfort them without putting yourself out in the least. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Whatever you want to do, it will be accomplished today through your network. You’ll see where you could add a few people, as well -- people who have different skills and extensive reach in a world of which you know little. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You value family to such an extent that you feel the impetus to raise and teach relatives who aren’t your children. Perhaps this has to do with taking care of your parents or another extension of your clan. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You like people who explore and experiment, especially if they come back to you with the highlights of their discoveries. You would do the same if you had the time, but lately your schedule won’t allow for it.

Today’s Highlights in History: On March 18, 1911, Irving Berlin’s first major hit song, “Alexander’s Ragtime Band,” was first published by Ted Snyder & Co. of New York. The Theodore Roosevelt Dam in Arizona was dedicated by its namesake, the former president. On this date: In 1766, Britain repealed the Stamp Act of 1765. In 1837, the 22nd and 24th president of the United States, Grover Cleveland, was born in Caldwell, N.J. In 1861, Sam Houston stepped down as governor of Texas after refusing to accept the state’s decision to secede from the Union.

Eisenhower signed the Hawaii statehood bill. (Hawaii became a state on August 21, 1959.) In 1965, the first spacewalk took place as Soviet cosmonaut Aleksei Leonov went outside his Voskhod 2 capsule, secured by a tether. In 1974, most of the Arab oil-producing nations ended their embargo against the United States. In 2009, Tony-winning actress Natasha Richardson, 45, died at a New York hospital two days after suffering a head injury while skiing in Canada. One year ago: President Barack Obama signed into law a $38 billion jobs bill containing a modest mix of tax breaks and spending designed to encourage the private sector to start hiring again.

CUSTOMERS WHO ARE PATRONIZED MAY DECIDE NOT TO BE PATRONS
DEAR ABBY: While standing in a checkout line yesterday, I witnessed a cashier speak to the older woman in front of me in a condescending manner. She kept calling her “Sweetie” and talking to her as if she were a 3-year-old. The woman was obviously offended, but said nothing. I experienced this kind of behavior often when my mother was alive. Receptionists, waitresses, store clerks and others would direct their questions to me and talk to me while my mother stood there, perfectly capable of answering the questions herself. I’m sure these people did not intend to be rude or disrespectful. However, it was extremely annoying to both Mother and me. Because a person is elderly does not mean he or she is senile. Regardless of their mental capacity, older people have earned the right to be treated with dignity and respect. -- OFFENDED IN KINGSPORT, TENN. DEAR OFFENDED: I’m glad you wrote. I have seen it happen, too, and with people who should have known better. And when it did happen, the offender was sometimes called on it in a way that wasn’t at all “sweet.” Readers, if this letter strikes a familiar chord, please remember that most senior citizens are completely in control of their faculties and treat them accordingly. (Or risk losing a customer.) DEAR ABBY: At least two or three times a week, I receive requests for donations from various organizations. Many times the envelopes contain address labels, calendars and notepads. As much as I would like, I can’t afford to donate to every cause. Is it wrong to use these “gifts” if I don’t con-
tribute? It’s a shame to waste them -- especially the address labels. No one else can use them. I’m sure I’m not the only person who struggles with this moral dilemma. I’d really like your input. -- FEELING GUILTY IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR FEELING GUILTY: The organizations that send those unsolicited mailings count on the recipients feeling so guilty that they’ll send something. If using the unsolicited “gifts” makes you feel guilty, toss them or don’t open the envelope in the first place. Compile a list of those causes that you wish to give to, decide what amount you have to donate to all of them, divide the total and send your checks. And as you do, check them off your list to make sure you won’t accidentally give twice because many (not all) organizations solicit more than once a year, hoping donors will forget they have given and send more. DEAR ABBY: I am seeing a therapist for my depression. The problem is I find myself wanting to have sexual relations with him. I’m 23, and he’s older than my father, who is 63! What’s wrong with me? Obviously, I can’t have an affair with my therapist, and I desperately do not want to change doctors. Please help. -- LOVESICK PATIENT IN MONTANA DEAR LOVESICK: What’s going on with you is very common. There is a name for it: transference. While this may be embarrassing to you, I assure you your therapist has heard it before. It’s not necessary that you change doctors, but it is important that you be honest about your feelings. (Nobody ever said therapy was for the faint of heart!)

Knights of Columbus monthly supper March 25
I hope everyone has a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day. Marty Quirk will be at the Bartlett School this afternoon to perform for the students. This is such a great time for staff and students alike. This past Friday the staff at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School played the middle school students in a basketball game. What fun we had. We, the staff, lost, but we gave it our all. For once I was not the oldest member of the team, which was exciting. Speaking of getting old, I went to the doctors yesterday and have shrunk another half inch. How is that possible? By the time I am 65, I will only be 4 feet tall. It will definitely be harder to reach the basketball hoop at this rate. At least I have a good excuse when I miss the shot. I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys the longer days.

The show will be held at the Portland Civic Center on Friday April 8, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 and include a seat normally valued at $25 as well as free admission to the pre-show warm up.

youth and adults learned how to teach the program and will return to their counties to teach others what they learned at UNH. 4-H Science skills were embedded into the four different content areas. The 4-H model of "Learning by Doing" 4-H projects is particularly well suited to teach the science skills of observation, planning and investigation. Participants left with all the tools necessary to bring the experience to other youth in their counties. Some participating Carroll County 4-H members will share some of their new science knowledge at the 4-H County Activities Day on March 26. 4-H county activities day is March 26 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the K.A. Brett School in Tamworth. At County Activities Day 4-H members share what they have been learning in 4-H through posters, demonstrations and public speaking. Open to the public. At home here in Carroll County, 4-H is co-sponsoring one local science initiative, The Mount Washington Valley Science and Technology Fair. The science fair on May 12 will be held at Granite State College and is open to all students, 4-H members and homeschooler’s in grades 7-12. Registration deadline is April 8. Participants will take on a science or engineering project and then prepare a display explaining their project. Cash prizes are awarded to the top three projects in both high school and middle school categories. Participants and parents will also be able to join our SET Blog to share ideas. Visit the blog at carroll4hscience.blogspot.com. For more information on local county 4-H science initiatives or other types of 4-H programming contact Claes Thelemarck, extension educator for 4-H Youth Development at the UNH Cooperative Extension office 447-3834.
