Study undercuts college stereotype (NY Times) — The popular stereotype of college campuses as a hive of same-sex experimentation for young women may be all wrong.

To the surprise of many researchers and sex experts, the National Survey on Family Growth found that women with bachelor’s degrees were actually less likely to have had a same-sex experience than those who did not finish high school.

“It’s definitely a ‘huh’ situation, because it goes counter to popular perceptions,” said Kaaren Williamsen, director of Carleton College’s gender and sexuality center.

For years, sex researchers, campus women’s centers and the media have viewed college as a place where young women explore their sexuality, test boundaries, and, often, have their first — in some cases, only — lesbian relationship.

In 2003, a New York magazine article, “Bi for Now,” suggested that women’s involvement in their college’s gay scene exposed them to a different culture, like junior year abroad in Gay World.

But according to the new study, conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, based on 13,500 responses, almost 10 percent of women ages 22 to 44 with a bachelor’s degree said they had had a samesex experience, compared with 15 percent of those with no high school diploma.

Obama warns Libya on allied action

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

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — President Obama told Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi on Friday to carry out an immediate cease-fire and stop all attacks on Libyan civilians or face military action from the United States and its allies in Europe and the Arab world.

In one of his most forceful statements as president, Mr. Obama said that his demands were not negotiable: Colonel Qaddafi had to pull his forces back from

Libya’s major cities or the United States and its allies would step in. The president said that he was forced to act because Colonel Qaddafi had turned on his people and had shown, Mr. Obama said, “no mercy on his own citizens.”

The Libyan government announced a cease-fire just hours after the United Nations Security Council approved a resolution authorizing military action against Colonel Qadaffi to protect Libyan civilians.

But rebel spokesmen said government forces attacked several locations on Friday.

Mr. Obama said that with the passage of the Security Council resolution, the United States would not act alone, and that France, Britain and the Arab nations would take the lead. That is the clear desire of the Pentagon, which has strongly resisted another American war in the Middle East. Mr. Obama said flatly that American ground forces would not enter Libya.

Judge blocks Wisconsin Dozens of protesters law on union bargaining are killed in Yemen

CHICAGO (NY Times) — A judge issued a temporary restraining order on Friday that prevents Wisconsin’s new law cutting collective bargaining rights for public workers from taking effect, at least for now.

The decision, issued by Judge Maryann Sumi of the Dane County Circuit Court, temporarily bars Wisconsin’s secretary of state from publishing the controversial law, one of the procedural requirements for it to come into effect in the state. Publication had been

expected late next week, but Judge Sumi’s ruling delays that until at least March 29, when she plans to hold a full hearing on a lawsuit that questions the validity of the collective bargaining law based on the speedy manner in which it was carried out earlier this month. An appeal is possible even before then.

“This legislation is still working through the legal process,” said Cullen Werwie, a spokesman for Gov. Scott Walker, the Republican who led the measure.

SANA, Yemen (NY Times)— Yemen’s pro-democracy protests exploded into violence on Friday, as government supporters opened fire on demonstrators in the capital, killing at least 45 people and wounding more than 200. The bloodshed failed to disperse the throng of protesters, the largest seen so far in a month of steadily rising demonstrations calling for Mr. Saleh’s ouster.

President Ali Abdullah Saleh declared a state of emergency shortly after the shootings, denying that security forces had been involved and promising a full investigation. The state news agency said the state of emergency would last 30 days.

The shootings seemed certain to provoke more violence in Yemen’s tribal society, and analysts said they could further weaken Mr. Saleh, whose rivals have already used the protests to undermine him.

House passes resolution on Mount Washington trademark

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONCORD — The House passed a watered-down version of a resolution aimed at the Mount Washington Hotel's effort to trademark "Mount Washington."

The resolution, which was proposed by local representative Gene Chandler, was amended in committee. The language that would have directed the resolution be sent to the state's congressional delegation was removed, and the overall resolution was softened.

The amendment used to oppose "the right of any firm, corporation, or individual to trademark the name Mount Washington" before it was amended, but now the version the house passed is much more delicate.

"Although a trademarked name may include a New Hampshire geographic location such as 'Mount Washington,' no single business, firm, or association

shall have sole authority or exclusive use of the name of such geographic location," the adopted version said.

And if the resolution gets passed by the Senate it will now go to only to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, not to New Hampshire's senators and representatives in Washington D.C. Still, Chandler is pleased.

"It was a very strong voice vote," he said. "It voices the House's concerns."

The resolution is aimed at CNL Properties, which owns the Mount Washington Hotel. The company has filed paperwork with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark “Mount Washington” for the use of accommodation facilities.

CNL had been looking to trademark “Mount Washington” for a number of other uses, including spa, retail and entertainment services, but the company decided not to proceed after opposition arose. Company officials argue they are only protecting their brand and should be allowed to do so.

Tele-Talk If the bypass is not going to be built, are there other traffic-improvement measures the town should consider?

It's appearing less and less likely that the Conway bypass will ever be built. The central and northern sections around North Conway were dropped from the state's 10-year highway plan several years ago. Now, there are serious funding questions about the southern section, which would bypass Conway Village. Construction of the southern section is scheduled to start in 2015. However, a statewide car-registration fee that was going to help fund the bypass and other projects is about to expire. "The reality is the money is going away," N.H. Department of Transportation commissioner George Campbell said this week. "Nobody is coming to save it." On top of the funding issue, support for the project is eroding among local officials, who believe that building the southern section without the rest of the bypass would simply be shifting the traffic problem from Conway Village to other areas of town.

This week's Tele-Talk: If the bypass is not going to be built, are there other traffic-improvements measures the town should consider?

IN REVIEW NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Does formal education matter?

PITTSBURGH — It was a Saturday night in April a century ago. The country was at peace. The economy was stable. But the breezes of reform were blowing across the nation and progressive leaders were asking uncomfortable questions — about how society was organized, about whether the ladder of opportunity had been kicked aside, about whether the country was as dedicated to democratic principles as its founders had been.

In that atmosphere, in a hotel that now houses the student union at the University of Pittsburgh, a college president rose to speak to a group of Ivy League alumni who had poured into town on trains from around the region to sing their college songs, offer their college toasts and later to repair to a college smoker. An orchestra was present. So were some of the leading men of the day. It was an evening of high spirits and highballs. And then a member of the Class of 1879 rose to speak.

His name was Woodrow Wilson and he was the president of Princeton at a time when the institution was more college than university: a parochial, passive place that personified privilege far more than prestige.

In less than seven months Wilson would be elected governor of New Jersey. In less than two years he would take the oath as president of the United States. He was not a frivolous man, and his were not frivolous words. He asked the sons of Old Nassau a penetrating question that had become his obsession, that tortured him as he contemplated Princeton and the world it occupied: "Would Lincoln have been a better instrument for the country's good if he had been put through the processes of one of our modern colleges?"

The question astonished his listeners, who amid the songs and the toasts and at their tables festooned with orange and black streamers had come to celebrate Princeton, not to question it; who had cheered the arrival of a papier-mache orange-and-black tiger, the college's mascot, with illuminated eyes; and who had lustily devoured ice cream confections molded in the shape of tigers that were placed in front of them by an army of waiters. This was an occasion for a reunion, not for reflection.

Wilson's question injected a moment of stunning sobriety to the Princeton proceedings. The account in the Pittsburgh Gazette Times carried this sub-headline: "President Wilson Startles." The second headline in the Pittsburgh Dispatch read: "Princeton President's Fiery Speech Received in Silence by Local Alumni."

The Dispatch's account of Wilson's remarks began this way: "Until Dr. Wilson began to speak, the affair was one of jollity."

Wilson answered his own question, saying that Lincoln would not have been advantaged by a Princeton education, or a college education as it was understood a century ago. Here is his argument: "The processes to which the college man are subjected do not render him serviceable to the country as a whole. It is for this reason that I have dedicated every power in me to a democratic re-generation. The American college must become saturated in the same sympathies as the common people. The colleges of this country must be reconstructed from the top to the bottom."

Wilson's theme was that American colleges were too marinated in exclusiveness and not sufficiently concerned with "moral advance."

But his question — whether Lincoln would have

David Shribman

been improved by a college education — is relevant to us now, when the rush to the colleges is at full flood but when college life is full of distractions, binge drinking, distorted sleep patterns and ever-shrinking hours of contemplation and study.

In the past several weeks I posed the Wilson question to a half-dozen college presidents, past and present, and most acknowledged, uncomfortably, that Lincoln somehow had become educated without stepping into a college classroom.

"He was street and politically smart — and had excellent values," said C. Peter Magrath, who has been president of five universities and now serves as interim president of Binghamton University in New York.

Mark Nordenberg, chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh, said: "Though we take pride in helping to strengthen values, sharpen insights and develop a broader sense of social context, it appears that Mr. Lincoln did not need much help on any of those fronts."

James E. Wright, who taught me history before he became the president of Dartmouth College, replied that "as hard as it is for an academic to admit, I can't imagine that a college education would have enabled Lincoln to be of any greater service to the country."

Wright, who retired nearly two years ago, added: "Today we often confuse certification with education. In fact our society seems to value the former more than the latter. That was not true in Lincoln's time ... But he did need to be educated. And he clearly accomplished that largely on his own. I define being educated for this purpose as an individual having an understanding of his or her context — their place in history, in culture, in the physical and biological world. I define it as understanding others and knowing yourself — what you stand for and what you value. Lincoln had these things. He read widely and understood well who he was and understood his country at that time in our history."

The Wilson question is important because it focuses us on the purpose of college when the word is not being used as a modifier to "football" or "basketball tournament." This is not to minimize the importance of sport and healthy attitudes toward exercise. Indeed, one of Wilson's predecessors and his persistent political rival, Theodore Roosevelt, championed and probably saved college football, a tale told in John J. Miller's forthcoming "The Big Scrum" (HarperCollins).

But somehow Lincoln acquired experience, wisdom and perspective without sitting in a seminar room, developed a sense of spirit without being revved up by screaming announcers and wildly shifting light shows at a basketball arena, and learned to express himself without going to the campus writing center.

He did it by revering knowledge, respecting history, worshipping the written word, studying tradition -- and daring to imagine a world where the ennobling traditions were enhanced and the rancid ones eliminated.

Those are the goals of the best college students, if not always the so-called best colleges. Everything else is ephemeral, as Woodrow Wilson taught the college revelers at their Pittsburgh reunion. He asked a question that should preoccupy us still.

The North Conway Community Center is a very busy place in the summer months with our “family friendly” playground and spray ground. We have over 500 people come to play, picnic, and visit and enjoy our community center and facilities every day during the summer months. The community center provides over 25 youth programs for our children during the school year and in the summer. The center works with over 30 local groups and organizations. We have been a strong supporter of the Key Club and the eighth grade trip to Washington D.C. The center continues to provide quality recreation for our community, thanks to volunteer efforts and financial contributions. The North Conway Community Center is the sponsoring agency of the Retired and Senior Volunteer program.

The center is asking

the citizens of the town of Conway for $75,000 (the board of director’s fund raises over $120,000 a year).

The request is placed on the town warrant and is voted for on election day. In order to ensure the survival of the North Conway Community Center providing recreation programs for our children, adults and continued support of Carroll County RSVP. We would appreciate your support by voting yes on warrant article 19 on April 13.

Tell your friends, family spouse’s and neighbors that it is important to get out and vote to support the center and all the wonderful programs and facilities we provide to our community. The North Conway Community Center hopes to continue to have the support of the citizens of Conway.

Vote at the Conway Community Building (Old Pine Tree School) April 13, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

UNH professor taps into global warming’s impact on maple sugaring

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

FRYEBURG, Maine — Spring has always been maple sugaring season in northern New Hampshire and western Maine, pre-dating Colonial times. And with spring’s arrival Sunday, the time-honored rite of spring will be celebrated anew at local sugar houses this and next weekend, with New Hampshire Maple Maple Producers Open House Weekend, March 19 and 20, and Maine Maple Syrup Sunday, March 27.

As any New Englander worth his or her weight in sap can tell you, the sweet maple syrup season begins when temperatures at night are below freezing and rise in the day to 35 degrees Fahrenheit or more and the sap begins to run.

Despite Friday’s 60 degree, warm temperatures, local producers such as Weston’s Rivercroft Farm say the season is off to a good start.

“So far, it’s been good,” said George Weston, whose family has been farming on the banks of the Saco River since 1799. “Every year is different, of course — but this year seems to be starting out more normal — unlike last, which ended too early.”

••• But imagine a day in the not-so-distant future when — due to the impacts of global warming — instead of touring sugarhouses in Carroll County or nearby western Maine, you’d have to drive to Quebec to enjoy one of the staples of the maple season.

Professor Barrett Rock of the University of New Hampshire predicts that that day could be 30, 40 or 50 years away, based on the impacts of global warming and other factors.

It was a cold and snowy winter — but even that may be due to global warming, says Rock.

How’s that again?

In a telephone interview Thursday from Nevada, where he currently is on sabbatical, Rock said the melting of the polar ice cap has created more open water in the Arctic — and that in turn has contorted the jet stream to move further south, bringing cold Arctic air from Canada south into New England.

“This has been a good-old-fashioned winter in New England, as it certainly was a lot colder and snowier than most of our recent winters in the last 20 to 30 years. However,” said Rock, “relative to global climate change, it is important for readers to learn this winter was as cold as it was because of something called the polar vortex, which sits over the North Pole and the way the cyclonic wind storm moves wind in a circle.”

He said that has changed significantly in the past three to five years.

“The polar vortex normally sits on top of the ice, and it isn’t now due to the more open water, so it has contorted the jet stream to move further south, bringing the cold Canadian air down into New England. So,” said Rock, “the gut reaction when you see a cold New England winter is that you may think it’s crazy talk to speak about global warming, but it is the global warming that causes it because it has led to a significant amount of polar ice cap loss.”

According to Caleb Bolter’s website, www.northconwayeather.com, as of March 18, two days before the start of spring, North Conway had received 71.8 inches of snow for the snow year, slightly above normal for this point in the year.

••• Professor in the Complex Systems Research Center at UNH, Rock is also a member of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans and Space at UNH and teaches forestry-related courses in natural resources.

colors of trees from Cape Cod to southern Quebec, Canada. He has also been studying maple syrup production with graduate student Martha Carlson of Sandwich, a long-time maple syrup producer.

Carlson, in turn, is working on her maple sugaring research for her doctorate on climate change and sugar maples. As part of her research, she is collecting data from students throughout the state, including those at the Josiah Bartlett Elementary School in Bartlett.

For the sixth year, students are collecting sap and making maple syrup at the community-built sugar

house on school grounds while also performing math and science exercises involving the sugaring process as part of their coursework, according to teacher Valerie Ford.

••• In interviews this past fall with The Conway Daily Sun and again this week, Rock said the problems with the sugar maples are mostly due to manmade global climate change pushing temperature increases in the region of nearly 2 degrees Fahrenheit over the past century (since 1899). see MAPLE page 14

Over the next 40 to 100 years, temperatures are expected to climb another 6 to 10 degrees.

That would all but eliminate the sugar maple in New England, Rock said.

As a frame of reference, Rock said if you add 6 degrees to the average 30-year temperature of Boston from 1961 to 1990, you get the 30-year average temperature of Richmond, Va., or about 57 Fahrenheit. Add 10 degrees and you get the 30-year average temperature of Atlanta, Ga., or 61 degrees.

Warming will cause the maples to “migrate” north with southern trees, bugs and fungi nipping at their heels, says Rock. Trees can extend their range by 12 to 15 miles in a century.

That won’t be enough time for southern trees to move into New England to take the place of the maples, he said.

“What I’m really expecting is essentially chaos in the forest as the insects and the fungi do the trees in,” said Rock. “We’re seeing that in the maple.”

Rock expects pockets of maples to survive at high elevations. The maples will survive in Canada.

••• In an interview this week, Rock said a second characteristic is that this season has been unusual in how the sap flow has been in his Durham neighborhood.

“It flowed for a little, beginning two Fridays ago, then stopped, and did not start flowing again until Tuesday of this week,” said Rock. “That is rather unusual. The normal condition is

when it starts to flow it continues to flow, and two to five weeks is a typical season. This year, that has not happened. It could be different up your way, with the higher elevation.”

He added that the season over the last 30 years has ended “earlier and earlier,” as there was a time when the end of the sugar season would have been early to mid-April.

The season ends, Rock explained, when the buds begin to swell on the branches and leaves begin to form under the buds. Syrup produced at the end of a season tends to have what producers call an undesirable “buddy” or “green” taste.

“It routinely now ends ends the third week of March, which is next week. So, if that’s the case this year, it will be a very short sugar season. We will have to wait and see,” said Rock.

••• Rock explained how Martha Carlson, of Range View Farm of Sandwich, has been documenting the sweetness of sap as part of her work toward obtaining her doctorate degree in the next year or two.

“Martha has records from early producers who have kept records on sap and the amount collected on farms going back to the 1950s. When I was growing up in Vermont,” said Rock, who is now 68, “the sap to syrup ratio was it took 32 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup. In the 1960s, it was 35 to 37 gallons of sap to make a gallon. Today, it has been as high as 50 gallons of sap but the average the last 10 years has been 47 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup.” see next page

Rock said the University of Vermont has monitored the percentage of sugar to sap for several years.

“In the 1960s, the average sugar content was 2.5 to 3 percent sugar content, and now the average is 1.5 to 1.7 percent sugar to sap. So again, there is no indication that it is lower quality — but the fact that the sugar content is decreasing means it is taking more energy, more time and effort, to boil it down and make syrup,” said Rock.

Will this trend continue?

“The jury is still out, but there seems to be a long-term trend from 1950 to 2010. The question is: Why are the trees making less sugar?” asked Rock.

••• Rock concludes there are three overall answers.

He points to summers being too early, too long — and too warm, causing stress for sugar maples.

Sugar maples like cool nights, even in summer — and summer nights have been warming up.

Summers have becoming longer by as much as three weeks into the fall and winters have started later as a result of the climate change.

Rock says several fungal diseases are being seen on the leaves of the sugar maples in fall as a result.

“It’s possible that the fungus is depleting some of the sugar on the leaves that would otherwise be transported down the roots where it is stored as starch and which makes sugar in spring, so if so, there would be less” said Rock.

The third impact which he shared

with Sun readers last fall is how global warming impacts the hues of foliage season, always a major tourism season in northern New England.

In the fall, sugar content determines how orange a sugar maple’s leaves will turn when there is a frost.

When Rock first moved to seacoast New Hampshire in 1987, the frost would come around Columbus Day – a traditionally busy time for tourists.

Now, it comes late if at all. The last good year of frost was 2003. The satellites can measure how bight or dull the colors are.

“So,” said Rock this week, “a third line of evidence is that there is less sugar, and therefore our fall colors have not been as dramatic as they might be.”

••• When asked about Rock’s findings, Weston, of Weston’s Farm in Fryeburg, Maine, said he agreed that there’s “no doubt” maple trees haven’t been producing syrup like they had in the past.

However, Weston couldn’t say for sure why that was the case.

He told the Sun as sugaring kicked into high gear this week that it could also be that his silver maples are “just getting older.”

“It’s easy to blame everything on climate change and all that,” said Weston, “but as far as I am concerned, there is no question that our springs are warmer and our falls are later and warmer. It’s my own opinion, and every once in a while, you can see you could be wrong, such as all the snow we had this winter.”

The New England maple syrup season

BY TOM EASTMAN

syrup production in 2010 totaled 5.38 million, up 4 percent from 2009.

Vermont led all states in production with 890,000 gallons, a 3 percent decrease from 2009. Production in Maine, third in the nation after Vermont and New York, decreased 22 percent from 2009 to 310,000 gallons.

In New Hampshire, fifth overall after those states and fourth-place Wisconsin, production was estimated to be 87,000 gallons in 2010, down 7 percent from 2009.

The 2010 maple season was rated mostly too warm in temperature,

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — In the 1950s and 1960s, 80 percent of maple syrup was produced in New England and only 20 percent was produced in Canada.

Now, said Professor Barrett Rock of the University of New Hampshire, that is completely reversed.

“It has to do with the climactic conditions that are appropriate for the sap flow. It’s just moving north,” said Rock.

According to New England Agricultural Statistics, New England maple

causing production to decline in all five New England states. Temperatures were reported as 81 percent too warm, 16 percent favorable and 3 percent too cool.

The 2010 maple season began unusually early, catching many producers off guard as they were not ready for the first run.

Conditions were mostly favorable at the beginning of the season; however temperatures warmed up too quickly and by mid- to late March, sap flow had begun to slow down and halt altogether in some parts of New England.

So far, despite concerns about global warming and concerns about its impacts on sugar maples, it’s been a good season, better than last, according to Weston and local producers.

“Every year, we try to make 100 gallons of syrup. We have many years when we do reach that, some when we don’t — it varies, of course, from year to year. But so far, this year seems to be starting out a little more normal,” was how Weston put it this past Wednesday, a day that felt warm, despite the snow squalls that fell that day.

Thursday and Friday, the following days, were unusually warm, with temperatures in the high 50s and low 60s, but the forecast was for colder temperatures Friday night — creating better flow conditions. Once a livestock farm and then dairy farm, Weston’s since 1985 has been a vegetable farm. Maple syrup is part of the family farm’s staple of products, and has been ever since Weston can remember.

“I do remember doing this as a kid, as long as I can remember,” he said this week, noting that unlike some operators, Weston’s doesn’t have an orchard but instead taps lowland silver maples for its sap with up to a few hundred buckets in use to get nature’s sweet nectar.

“It is a lot of work, but I like it.

Always have. We have been doing it for so long, that it would not seem quite right if we did not make some syrup each spring,” said Weston. “They say that just as you get sick of it, it’s over — until another year,” he laughed.

Police issue scam alert

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — The Conway Police Department is warning residents, particularly seniors, to beware of a telephone scam being referred to as the “Canadian bail scam.”

The way the scam works is someone calls and says they

are a relative stuck in prison in Canada. They then ask for money.

“We’ve had two confirmed cases,” Lt. Chris Perley said, including one where a senior was scammed out of $3,000.

Other departments around the state and the country have had cases as well. When questioned who they are, the scammer responds, “Who does it sound

like?” The victim then replies and scammer assumes that identity.

“They may have access to some sort of list,” Perley said, like an AARP contact list, which allows them to target the elderly.

The department is recommending people confirm a person is in fact in prison if they get a report of a “jailed” relative.

Bypass permit not in danger of expiring

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — The Army Corps of Engineers permit for the Conway bypass is not in danger of expiring, even if the project is put on hold for years.

“There’s no real limit on it,” said Richard Roach, the senior project manager for regulation division of the Army Corps of Engineers. So long as the Department of Transportation asks for an extension before the current permit reaches its expiration date, he said, it shouldn’t be a problem to extend it further.

The permit has already been extended once, according to DOT, and it is scheduled to expire by ’s yo n e E ve r g th e ir g , d o in C le a n in n g .. . ri p S so

2020.

The southern section of the bypass was scheduled to begin in 2015, but the DOT recently announced the project will be cut if a funding solution cannot be resolved in the next several months.

The DOT is scrambling to find the funding it is set to lose in July when the $30 car registration surcharge that was instituted in 2009 expires.

Big projects like this get delayed all the time, Roach said, particularly in this economy.

“The state purse is kind of thin,” he said. “That’s just the way it is. They’ve got more projects than they have money.”

A project in Troy had to be

New Titles Arriving Daily

scrapped, Roach said, for exactly that reason.

But other projects hold onto their permits for seemingly forever.

“If they don’t get their right of way they may never get it,” he said, and if they lose it they may never get it back.

Developers hustle to get the permits in place before the land they’re looking at turns into subdivisions, he said, sometimes long before they have the money to start construction.

“It’s hurry up and wait, then wait and hurry up,” he said, but there is no reason to worry the permits will go away before it’s time to build. erik@conwaydailysun.com

My intention was to go to an art show of 19th century White Mountain art at Plymouth State University in the morning, and then continue west a few miles and climb the 1.3 mile trail up to the spectacular view on top of Rattlesnake Mountain in Rumney.

This turned out to be a nice combination. It is one thing to get the mountain impressions of a few romantic painters, and yet another to get your own. On my way home, I actually stopped briefly on the way by to look at the paintings again.

My interest in the exhibit began at the showing of a new film at the Leura Hill Eastman Hall at Fryeburg Academy called “Brush and Pen: Artists and Writers of the White Mountains, 1800 to 1900.” People lingered in the foyer before the movie, and among those interesting people I encountered was past valley resident and filmmaker Judy Faust, who is preparing to make a film on the Jackson artist David Baker. Also I met Catherine Amidon, who is director of the Karl Drerup Art Gallery at Plymouth State University.

I was fascinated to learn from Amidon that Plymouth State is paving the way to house a permanent Museum of the White Mountains. An former Methodist Church is being renovated, and the museum will open in 2012. It will have permanent and temporary exhibitions, and, as it states in the colorful brochure for the project, will “provide archival and digital learning resources to serve researchers, students and the public.”

Amidon is Interim Director of the

upcoming museum, as well as director of the present day Karl Drerup Art Gallery.

Of more immediate interest, she told me that there was a current exhibit of 19th century White Mountain Art at the gallery, gathered from four private collectors. It was called: “As Time Passes Over the Land--Paintings of the White Mountains.” I should come over and check it out.

It sounded like something best combined with a hike.

Amidon also mentioned that last fall she hosted Jon Waterman, an old acquaintance of mine from the AMC Huts, and author of books on adventuring and conservation in Alaska. He had given a talk and slide show at the gallery on the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Before the talk, he wanted to get out for a hike and loosen up, and the two of them went up Rattlesnake Mountain. “But,” she said with a wry smile, “we didn’t take the trail. He wanted to bushwhack straight up the front, so that’s what we did” That was interesting, as the craggy front of the mountain is one of the premier sport climbing areas in the east. It would be fun, I thought, to wind your way up that way, avoiding the vertical. Or most of it.

Anyway, there was a deep layer of soft snow last Saturday, giving me a good reason to safely stay on the Rattlesnake Mountain Trail.

However, long before reaching the trailhead on Saturday, I drove into Plymouth, zipped around the roundabout at the end of Main Street, and parked near to the Drerup Gallery, located kitty-corner to the round-

about.

I walked in the old brick 19th century factory building, and took the first left hand door into the rectangular gallery room. I was struck immediately by the color and size of the paintings. I said hello to the student manning the gallery desk, and then moved from painting to painting.

It was a delight. The landscapes represented were highly recognizable, and were painted masterly. These were obviously members of the White Mountain School, but I wasn’t familiar with all of them. Samuel Lancaster Gerry (1813-1891), had painted a great picture of Mount Washington from the Glen House, with a stage starting up the Carriage Road. Also, his painting of Tuckerman Ravine and Lion Head from the old Pinkham Road was a perfect photo for this column.

There were a few paintings by the one time Jackson resident Frank

Shapleigh. Of most interest was the one looking out from the top of Mount Willard, painted when he was the resident artist at the Crawford House.

Also, his painting of the Perkins Farm in Jackson gave a fresh perspective to the unique view of Mount Washington from Upper Jackson.

There was a great picture of the dramatic drop-off from Mount Madison down to Gorham, by Horace Walcott Robbins. My favorite in the show was entitled “Mount Jefferson Enroute from Gorham to the Glen House,” painted by Alvan Fisher. Below the spectacular northern Presidentials, a diminutive artist sat on the shore of the Peabody River and painted the rugged scene.

An unusual painting of the Pemigewasset River in Thornton was done

by Samuel Griggs. It was painted in black and white, an old European style called “grisaille.” Often see next page

done as an undercoating, which helps bring out the color applied on top of it, sometimes, as in this painting, the black and white painting stands on its own, and gives a feeling of stone.

Of course, there were a couple paintings by Benjamin Champney, done along the Saco River in North Conway.

Nurtured by this romantic 19th century view of Nature, I headed. I drove west through Plymouth’s ironic strip out on Route 25, and turned right into the quaint village of Rumney. In the village center, I turned left on Buffalo Road, and drove 2.5 miles to the tiny trail parking lot on the right.

There was one car already pulled in there, and no room for mine. The only option was to park out on the road, just after a bump that would obscure the vision of approaching cars. I looked up the trail and saw the family that owned the car, just starting up. The father looked back, understood the situation, and came back. He pulled his car out on the road so that I could squeeze mine into the lot as well. Now my car was blocked, but they were not going to the summit, and would leave before me.

During this collaboration, a forest service truck pulled over, and a ranger got out to see if all was well, and if he could be of assistance. We joked with him that the Rattlesnake Trail parking lot was likely the smallest in the White Mountains (the larger forest service parking lot for the mountain, located further back toward the village, is for rock and ice climbers).

Finally the considerate father headed up the trail to catch up with his family, and I dressed for the hike.

With the seasonal warm temps I put on snowshoes, then headed, soon passing the parents and two children meandering up the trail.

I was surprised to see no other recent tracks on this popular trail, as I climbed up the three quarter mile

steep section. It was liberating to be outside. Good landscape paintings are an inside job. This was the river of nature itself. Of course, my mind was a river too, and thoughts came up like clouds — some white and fluffy, some with shades of gray.

The trail flattened and I reached the junction for the summit loop, where I took a right. I moved over subtle waves of granite covered with thinning forest and snow, then popped out on the low stone summit ridge.

The world was shades of gray, black and brown. Below, the winding Baker River was choked with stationary broken ice, like most rivers in the north country. The quaint village of Rumney, quite visible from the summit in the summer because of its white church and houses, was almost invisible now under the white snow. To the immediate east was Stinson Mountain, and to the west, a long ridge leading up to Carr Mountain.

I sat in a cleft and ate an apple.

Then, after a few photos, I continued down the stone ridge and reentered the forest. I briefly lost the trail in the deep snow, and enjoyed a short bushwhack through the woods towards a fold of the ravine where the trail was.

Perhaps it was while bushwhacking, that I most felt the freedom that is implied in a beautiful landscape painting of the romantic era. I found the trail, and, following my own snowshoe tracks, enjoyed the descent. On occasion, the sun came out briefly.

Later, on the drive home, I pulled over in Plymouth and briefly walked around the gallery again. I thought that I might carry some insight from my outdoor experience. But my senses must have still felt the freedom of walking briefly down through a trackless forest. In my spirit, I wasn’t ready to come back inside.

The exhibit “As Time Passes Over the Land — Paintings of the White Mountains” will remain at the Karl Drerup Gallery until April 9.

Country Ecology: Wood duck controversies B Continuing with Roger Strand's field observations on wood ducks written last week: 1. With more than one hen laying, it is almost a given that the oldest looking bird will prevail and incubate the clutch.

2. A single, identifiable young hen may lay eggs in as many as three different boxes over the course of several weeks, and incubate none of them.

As an older bird begins to incubate in the first box, the young hen may start adding eggs to a second box.

3. By the end of Strand's April notetaking, most house-hunting hens on his 60 box unit looked young, with small eye rings. They occasionally entered boxes known to be occupied by an incubating older bird. He says during this time of ten or more minutes, a late egg may be added to the clutch.

Thus, a yearling hen contributing

eggs to a number of clutches before they are incubated could be having a banner year in reproduction. Even if she never goes on to establish and incubate her own clutch, she has left her genetic material in the care of more experienced hens!

And, wildlife biologists have long noted that old hens survive better and also are more likely to bring their broods through to fledging. He thinks that these duck species have been doing this sort of thing for thousands of years. Maybe this intraspecific nest dumping we worry about has been only covered in its negative aspects! Watch for an old white-masked wood duck hen leading her ducklings to water and realize your own conclusions.

The instructions for building a wood duck house are available, but there are a couple of points that should be emphasee next page

sized about constructing one. Please place hardware cloth mesh over the ladder-like cleats on the inside of a box's front. When ducklings hatch, they can't fly yet, but do leave a nest within a day or so of hatching. The mother swims around below, calling for the ducklings to join her. Out they come, little balls of fluff all the ducklings look like; able to swim immediately.

She waits around until there are no more "peents" heard from the inside of the box's eggs. Since the ducklings can't fly, they use their beaks and feet to climb up to the 3 inch by 4 and a half inch hole and exit rapidly. Without this galvanized wire mesh ladder, they couldn't get out very well. The dimensions of putting the hole above the floor are a full twenty inches in most instructions. So, a smooth board surface won't cut it.

Insist on building this hardware cloth/ladder inside your wood duck box, even if it looks a bit luxurious as a fixture.

In the wild, wood ducks nest up to 65 feet high in a former pileated

woodpecker hole. I have yet to see the ducklings exit from so high, but I hear it's a real sight to witness. They flutter down like oak leaves and bounce unharmed on the forest floor. It is said that wood ducks know of every cavity within a quarter mile of their water body.

They feed on acorns, beechnuts, and vegetative material, so I can assume they know the aspects of their surrounding forest quite well.

For the wood duck house you're building, place a piece of sheet metal as an entrance guard, preventing the oval hole you've jigsawed from being enlarged. You'll have to use tin snips to duplicate the body-shaped entrance hole's dimensions. Pound the edges smooth with the wooden hole's surface edges to prevent feather damage for the hen's comings and goings. A few copper tacks available at boat shops or hardware stores will secure the metal plate well enough to the front. It just has to deter a raccoon's gnawing teeth, so don't go for too thick a piece of metal. Any sheet metal shop can supply you with these metal rectangles, even cut to order.

I have seen a raccoon's work on an unprotected wood duck box front. The entrance hole had been enlarged to the size of the animal's body and ran elliptically and vertically, football shaped, to a good 4 to 5 inches wide and 7 to 8 inches up and down. So, the metal guard cut just to the duck's body size is appropriate, indeed.

Lastly, it's up to you for placing a predator guard in a funnel shape on the pole or pipe supporting the box in the water. A sheet metal guard wrapped around a snag or tree should help, too. Before leaving your well constructed endeavor, make sure you place three-to-four inches of wood shavings inside the box as the nesting material the hens need; she'll add some down.

It resembles the wood chips left behind by a pileated woodpecker pair after drilling and excavating their cavity. Replace this material yearly whenever inspecting the box.

Picking the right spring skiing attire Put away your face mask and put away your mittens…it’s time to enjoy one of the truly glorious experiences available to all of us. Spring skiing is the best.

Clothing is always a tricky decision.

On the best days you need to plan on being a bit chilly for the first run or two, so that your attire is appropriate for the rest of the day. A light insulating layer, and a wind layer-both with zippers, are always the best. Best underlayer? A tee shirt you can strip down to if the sun gets just right.

Sunscreen, light gloves, and cool sunglasses are key accessories and a light pack to store snacks, your favorite source of hydration, and stripped-off layers should be on your “to bring” list.

Best plan-shorts and a Hawaiian shirt or maybe a bathing suit top for the ladies.

On the right day, with the right clothes, you can’t help but have fun all day long.

Best ski move: Get a fresh spring stone grind with an open structure that keeps moving through the wet snow. A fresh structure and wax on your skis will make the skiing part of your Spring skiing as good as the just-being-outwith-your-fellow-skiers part.

So get psyched, and enjoy all the “joie du ski” that spring skiing offers.

And if the weather is right, one never knows.

"If the next few weekends hold out, this could be a potentially record year for the state of New Hampshire," said Stone.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis that helped create you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are uniquely equipped to understand raw concepts and bring your visionary powers to what is unfinished. You will turn theory into practice and make music, either literally or figuratively.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

An event this afternoon could cause you to ponder things you usually don’t give much thought to, such as your position in society. Tonight you’ll be inspired to do the most you can with the available resources.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You will be entrusted with a responsibility, and you’ll be in a position to choose the right associations and arrangements to handle the situation. Evaluate each deal, and determine its appropriateness for you and yours.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You and your loved ones don’t always agree on the little things. But when it comes down to doing what’s necessary, you unify, and the strength of your group will help you to prevail over problems.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Someone close may be acting unconsciously to limit you. Call out the behavior. If you don’t, the pattern of subtle restriction will continue. Your freedom is at stake.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 19).

Relationships and love will bring satisfaction and deep emotional fulfillment.

April brings professional advancement.

Get special training in May. There’s fantastic news for your family in June.

Because of your keen handling of money, you’ll make a beautiful event happen in July. You share a special connection with Sagittarius and Libra people. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 25, 33, 5 and 19.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Status is not the same thing as power, and today will illustrate this difference. You care more about what you can actually do than what people think about you while you’re doing it, which shows that you value power over status.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t like having to rely on others to meet your needs, but that is the way it is, and there’s no getting around it today. Collaboration is the name of the game, so jump in and play.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Someone has repeatedly disappointed you.

Normally, you would take this as a sign to move on, but things are different this time. You realize that if this person does what he says he will even once, you will benefit greatly.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Not only do you appreciate an environment that is neat and orderly; today, you require it to feel that all is right with the world. Gather the tools you need, and then get into the clutter and manage it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Usually, you would prefer to be unencumbered by material things. However, today you’ll have an idea of how important it is to save the items that help you to recall happy days and the people you have loved.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some people wrongly believe that two powerful people cannot easily exist in one relationship. You’ll prove this theory untrue, as you and a partner each apply your ambition to a mutual aim.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In some ways, you are fundamentally different from those you were brought up around, but today you’ll mostly see the ways in which you are alike. You’ll appreciate the special circumstances

Yesterday’s Answer

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, March 19, 2011— Page 27

Today is Saturday, March 19, the 78th day of 2011. There are 287 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 19, 1911, the first International Women’s Day, the inspiration of German socialist Clara Zetkin, was observed with rallies and parades in Germany, Austria, Denmark and Switzerland.

On this date: In 1859, the opera “Faust” by Charles Gounod premiered in Paris.

In 1918, Congress approved DaylightSaving Time.

In 1920, the Senate rejected, for a second time, the Treaty of Versailles (vehr-SY’) by a vote of 49 in favor, 35 against, falling short of the two-thirds majority needed for approval.

In 1931, Nevada Governor Fred B. Balzar signed a measure legalizing casino gambling.

In 1941, Jimmy Dorsey and Orchestra recorded “Green Eyes” and “Maria Elena” for Decca Records.

In 1945, during World War II, 724 people were killed when a Japanese dive bomber attacked the carrier USS Franklin off Japan; the ship, however, was saved. Adolf Hitler issued his so-called “Nero Decree,” ordering the destruction of German facilities that could fall into Allied hands.

In 1951, Herman Wouk’s World War II novel “The Caine Mutiny” was first published.

In 1979, the U.S. House of Representatives began televising its day-to-day business.

In 1981, during a pre-flight test of the space shuttle Columbia, two Rockwell International employees were killed after entering a chamber filled only with nitrogen (three other workers survived).

In 2003, President George W. Bush ordered the start of war against Iraq.

(Because of the time difference, it was early March 20 in Iraq.)

One year ago: The White House released an online video of President Barack Obama making a fresh appeal directly to the people of Iran, saying a U.S. offer of diplomatic dialogue still stood, but that the Tehran government had chosen isolation.

Today’s Birthdays: Former White House national security adviser Brent Scowcroft is 86. Theologian Hans Kung is 83. Jazz musician Ornette Coleman is 81. Author Philip Roth is 78. Actress Renee Taylor is 78. Actress-singer Phyllis Newman is 78.

Actress Ursula Andress is 75. Singer Clarence “Frogman” Henry is 74. Singer Ruth Pointer is 65. Actress Glenn Close is 64.

Film producer Harvey Weinstein is 59. Actor Bruce Willis is 56. Playwright Neil LaBute is 48. Rock musician Gert Bettens (K’s Choice) is 41. Rappper Bun B is 38. Rock musician Zach Lind (Jimmy Eat World) is 35. Actress Abby Brammell is 32.

Help Wanted

by Abigail Van Buren

ABANDONED CHILD CAN’T SHARE FAMILY’S NOSTALGIA FOR MOM

DEAR ABBY: My mom died of an aneurysm 23 years ago.

I was only 7. I occasionally hear an aunt or uncle talk about how much they loved her and miss her.

I moved in with an aunt when I was 5, due to abuse from my father. Two years later, my mom was gone. As kids, my brother and I never received counseling. We bounced from home to home and finally ended up in a stable environment with our grandma.

I usually feel guilty when people talk about my mom because I cannot relate. I tell myself that maybe God sacrificed her so I could have a good life. Sometimes, I feel more anger than love toward her because of the abuse and abandonment.

What am I supposed to feel about her? Can someone love a person they never knew? To be honest, I don’t know how to feel about my mother. -- EMOTIONLESS IN OKLAHOMA CITY DEAR EMOTIONLESS: It is very difficult to love someone you never knew. And from your description of your childhood, your feelings are understandable. However, because those feelings are bothering you and creating guilt, they should be discussed with a licensed professional. If you do, you will gain a better understanding not only of yourself, but also the dynamics in your family. You do not deserve to be carrying around any guilt at all.

DEAR ABBY: When people have a serious illness, their friends and family usually send “Get Well” messages and flowers to the hospital. Unfortunately, it isn’t the custom to send supportive greetings and gifts to those who are dealing

with psychiatric illnesses. These people deserve all of the attention and good wishes that other patients receive.

Please let it be known that psychiatric illnesses are treatable and recovery is possible. Support in all forms is essential in all patients’ progress toward recovering from serious illness of any kind. -- KATHY IN UNIVERSAL CITY, TEXAS DEAR KATHY: You make a good point. The reason some people may be hesitant to acknowledge someone’s mental illness may be the stigma that’s still attached to these kinds of problems. For that same reason, there may be a reluctance on the part of the patient’s family to reveal there is a problem so serious their family member must be hospitalized.

But you’re absolutely right. When people are ill, they need to know they’re cared about -- and a card with warm good wishes is a step in the right direction.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 14 and have a big problem. My teacher, “Mrs. Smith,” adores me. She is always calling on me and telling the class about all the things I’m doing correctly. After she does it, the other kids glare at me and call me “Teacher’s Pet.” It makes me uncomfortable, but I can’t help it if Mrs. Smith likes me. What should I do? -- DON’T WANT TO BE TEACHER’S PET DEAR DON’T: When a student excels at athletics, music or drama, it usually makes the boy or girl a celebrity on campus.

Sadly, the same is often not true when a student excels at academics, and it’s a shame. Because being used as an example is making you a target, ask your teacher to tone it down. And if it doesn’t happen, have your mother speak to the teacher and/or the principal, if necessary.

Always Ready, Always There.

North Conway Library looking for volunteers

CONWAY — If you like to keep up on the latest books, magazines and movies — and you’ve got three or four hours a week to spare — the North Conway Public Library needs volunteers.

Library Director Andrea Masters said volunteering at the library is a chance to give back to the community and help a cool little library that keeps on growing.

“That’s why we need volunteers,” she said. “Our steadily increasing numbers of patrons and books mean we need helpers to shelve and organize, process new books, help at the circulation desk and generally fill in as needed.”

Most volunteers work a regular day for three to four hours. But there is also room for people who want to work on an as-needed basis.

“If you’re willing to volunteer and help us at the library, we can pretty much accommodate any schedule and wish,” says assistant librarian and volunteer coordinator Martha Pedersen.

Volunteers are valued members of the library family, Masters said.

“The library’s volunteer policy recognizes them as key contributors who extend the services provided by staff members,” she said.

The North Conway Public Library is privately funded and does not receive town, state or federal tax allocations.

That makes volunteers especially needed. The library also is an accredited station for the local RSVP program.

Interested in giving us a hand? Call Martha Pedersen at the Library in North Conway Village at 603-356-2961.

Henry Spencer 539-4964 4-H Young Gardens Program

Effingham Town Column

‘A Midsummer’s Night Dream’ comes to town April 1 open to all kids in the county The Effingham parentteacher organization and the Governor Wentworth Arts Council have joined together with 50 young actors from the Effingham School to bring residents a musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer’s Night Dream,” through the auspices of Children’s Stage Adventures. The performance will be held at the school on April 1.

The will be a matinée performance at 1:15 and an evening performance at 6.

The performance will include magical forests, sprites, fairies, mistaken identity, royal weddings, practical jokes, and even an Amazon Queen. It promises to be a pretty full stage; one from which we will all be able to escape the March blahs into an enchanted world for an hour or so. Who knows maybe within our town we harbor a budding young actor who will someday look back upon this day as their first acting role. So, even if you do not have a young person in our school plan on attending at least one of the performances; it does promise to be an event that will scatter smiles liberally throughout the audience.

Ben Regan, from Long Branch, N.J, and Lorrie Gray, from Sullivan, will be the team of actor/ educators from Children’s Stage Adventures. This is Lorrie and Ben’s first tour together though both have extensive tour back-

grounds with CSA and working with children in theater.

Perpetual Appeals: Both the Planning and ZBA Boards are looking for residents to serve as alternates. The importance of alternates is often overlooked.

It allows someone who thinks or knows they may be interested in serving their community an opportunity to learn how a board functions and also assist in preparing a person to become an effective member of the board should they be elected.

For a community to have some experience and understanding in those willing to run and serve is a good idea. Contact either of these boards if you want to participate. You can contact Henry Spencer, chairman of the ZBA, at 539-4964 or the planning board which meets on the first Thursday of the month.

Additionally the Effingham Fire and Rescue Department is actively recruiting applicants to serve. You can pick up forms at the municipal building. A word here: as important as new participation on the town boards is one can figure that having a well-staffed, trained and committed fire and rescue department might reasonably be considered to be more important. It is not often that a municipal board member is called out at two in the morning to save an ordinance from fiery destruction or to revive Clause 2 of section III,

sub paragraph A: after a heart attack. There are many ways you can serve the Effingham Fire and Rescue, the town needs volunteers, get an application and see what you can do to help.

The Carroll County office of the Cooperative Extension is offering a five-part money management series on Thursday evenings, March 24, 31, April 7, 14 & 28 (no class on April 21) from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Carroll County office of UNH Cooperative Extension, 73 Main St., Conway. Participants taking “Making Money Work for You” will learn how to gain control over spending while developing a plan to achieve their financial goals, stretch resources, reduce expenses and reduce debt.

Ann Hamilton, UNH Extension Educator in Family & Consumer Resources, will teach the series.

For more information 447-3834.

There is a $12 materials fee per person or couple for the series.

No one will be denied based on inability to pay. Pre-registration is required by March 22. This program is not about investments, just good basic household budgeting.

Also for the Co-Op-: The 2011 Spring Pruning Demonstrations on April 2 from 9:30 a.m. to 12 pm at North Ridge Farm, 323 Haines Hill Road, Wolfeboro.

Speaker: Bill Lord, UNH Cooperative Extension Fruit Specialist, Retired. Pre-registration is required. It’s free. 447-3834.

This gardening season the UNH Cooperative Extension 4-H program is offering a garden program for all youth interested in planting a garden at home and sharing the joy of gardening with other kids and their families. The Carroll County 4-H Young Gardeners Program is open to all youth in Carroll County ages 5-18. Participating youth will each plant and tend a garden at home, attend monthly activity sessions and share their learning and the results of their labor at events such as Carroll County Farm Day and either Sandwich or Fryeburg Fair in the 4-H Exhibit Halls. Youth will also have the option of entering gardening contests such as a giant pumpkin contest, giant sunflower contest, veggie sculpture contest or flower or vegetable judging.

Youth will have the option of planting one of three different kinds of gardens including a small plot within a family garden, a raised bed garden or a small container garden. All youth are welcome to the program and those who may not have the resources to build a garden bed can apply for resource assistance to make a three-foot-by-five-foot raised bed or a container garden. Then from April 30 through Columbus Day there will be monthly meetings with activities, garden work and assistance Master Gardeners and 4-H volunteers to give advice on growing your garden.

Interested participants need to register by calling Annarie at the UNH Cooperative Extension office at 447-3834 by April 8. The first meeting will be held on Saturday, April 30, from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Community School in South Tamworth. At this meeting seeds and any needed garden materials will be handed out and the program details and summer meeting schedule will be discussed.

For more information about 4-H clubs or programs or to register for 4-H Young Gardeners program please contact Claes Thelemarck, extension educator for 4-H Youth Development at the UNH Cooperative Extension in Conway at 447-3834.

HOME OF THE WEEK

VIEWS FROM HERE

Buy low, buy now

BY KEVIN KILLOURIE There is a very famous saying which asserts "Sell High, Buy Low." It is obviously great advice no matter what the investment. The challenge is how to determine when we have hit bottom if you are a purchaser. The only time you can guarantee a bottom is after you pass it.

However, there is more and more evidence that the COST of a home has in fact has hit bottom.

Notice we have used the word COST. Unless you are an all-cash buyer, you must take into consideration the expense of financing a property to determine the true cost of purchasing the home. Nationally, interest rates have increased a bit over the last quarter; and this rise in rates has counteracted any fall in prices.

Let's look at an example as stated by Steve Harney in Keeping Current Matters: Say you were going to take out a Kevin Killourie $200,000 30-year fixed-rate mortgage in September of 2010. At that time, interest rates were 4.17 percent. Your principle and interest payment would have come to $974.54.

According to the most recent report from Case Shiller, house prices fell 3.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010. Now you can get the same house with a $192,000 mortgage (4 percent discount from September price). Interest rates are now approximately 4.95 percent. Your principle and interest payment would now be $1,067.54.

By waiting to pay less for the PRICE of the house, the COST increased $93 a month. We realize that there are other things to consider (for example the mortgage tax deduction, etc.), however this example is just a simple way to show that there is a difference between COST and PRICE. This is exactly what we are experiencing here in the Mount Washington Valley area. Prices are continuing to fall (although at a slower rate than in the past), but, interest rates are on the rise. The current interest rate for a conventional 30-year fixed mortgage is around 4.875 percent (many factors can determine interest rates — this is assuming good credit and normal terms).

Although this is still an attractive rate, it was actually lower a few months ago, reaching a 50-year low.

Inventory throughout the winter months has decreased, which is typical in our marketplace.

Traditionally, spring is the time when many people decide to list their property. We expect the number of properties to grow a bit in the weeks ahead, but we also expect the demand to increase. Here in the Mount Washington Valley there are 336 residential homes on the market in the sending towns for Kennett High School with a median price of $215,000 and average days on the market of 247. The number of condominiums available is 113, with a median price of $157,900 and average days on the market of 285.

As a general rule, any time the average number of days on the market is larger than 180, prices are deflating in value, and as you can see that is the case locally. see KILLOURIE page 38

High atop High Point Today’s Home of the Week is a Victorian-style luxury mountain estate.

CONWAY — High on High Point Road, overlooking the Saco River Valley, sits this Home of the Week.

"It is said that the top of High Point Road has the best views in the valley," said listing agent Margaret Munck, of Black Bear Realty.

High Point Road is located in Hale Estates, off the south end of West Side Road in Conway. This week's home, at 10 High Point Road, is a luxury mountain estate with four bedrooms, three baths and 3,536 square feet of space.

It's the "perfect home for family or for retirement," Munck says.

One unique feature is a callahead system that will turn up the heat while you are on your way. As you arrive, a brick walkway leads up to the front porch and entrance.

The house, built in 1990, is Victorian-style with an open concept. The entry foyer opens up the second floor with a 15-by-22-foot, vaulted-ceiling great room to the right and a 12-by-15-foot dining room to the left. Proceed through the great room or the dining room to an expansive, beautifully remodeled kitchen.

"One thing that really strikes me about this house is the amount of natural sunlight that streams into every room," Munck says.

There is a deck off the kitchen and great room as well as a deck for just a sitting and a thinking off the master suite. see HOME page 38

The home has 3,536 square feet of space.

REALTY LEADERS

There are several other interesting trends currently happening in the local and national real estate market. One is that the number of sales in the highest end of the marketplace is beginning to see an increase in activity and sales.

These are the buyers who typically understand the cost of real estate that I spoke of previously. Professionally, I believe this thinking will trickle down to the average consumer.

With all of this said, how should you react to all of this information? Well,

if you or someone you know is in the market for a new home or currently renting a home, urge them to consult a local Realtor to find out what is for sale, as well as a local lender to determine what you can afford to purchase.

It could very well be the best financial move they will ever make.

World events MARK ON THE MARKETS

BY MARK PATTERSON

Japan has been hit with earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster within a few short days. The world equity and debt markets are reacting in ways you might expect. But that expectation is something that we realize after the event has taken place. As an investor, you can never really anticipate these events unfolding in the shape and form that they do, but we suddenly realize that we should have listened to the

markets clues that something is happening.

What I refer to is that the “VIX” or volatility indicator had got to a very low point which signals complacency in the marketplace. You have probably read my simpleton statement “I get afraid of no fear.” Mutual funds were fully invested which means if see next page

there is a shock to the markets, the funds will have to liquidate positions to create liquidity when customers call for there money. Almost everyone is bullish, which is another indicator that a pullback in equities is due.

Market action itself has signaled some problems with lower highs and lower lows. The market has looked “toppy.”

This past weekend I was in Chicago at a conference pertaining to the global economy, agriculture and metals. If there was a consensus amongst the hoards of PhDs, it’s that while there may be pullbacks in the agricultural commodities, metals and energy, they will continue to increase in price.

What that means to you and I as investors and consumers is that inflation is here and will continue to grow, and you should be invested in these areas with stocks that pertain to these markets, ETFs or the purest play if you have the equity, commodities contracts.

There are also ETFs and futures contracts that get you into currencies other than the dollar.

When we think of disruptions in oil we can see an immediate reaction at the gas pumps, but there are shortages of corn and wheat on a global scale. Cattle prices have skyrocketed. Sugar, cotton and a host of other commodities have all been hitting high prices due to high demand and limited supply. It is simply the economics of scarce goods.

I am not trying to scare anyone with stories of runaway inflation and food shortages; I will leave that to the media. I simply wanted to share information gathered by economist and farmers from the Midwest.

Fed staying on its current path, with job creation as top priority

BY BINYAMIN APPELBAUM NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve on Tuesday reiterated that the economy was improving but said it would continue measures to stimulate growth because it remained more concerned about persistent unemployment than the risk of increased inflation.

The central bank affirmed its plans to buy $600 billion in Treasury securities by the end of June, and also left unchanged its two-year-old commitment to hold a benchmark interest rate near zero “for an extended period.”

The Fed’s policy-making committee voted unanimously to maintain both policies, intended to make money available at lower cost despite concern about the rising price of oil and new worries about the Japanese economy.

“The economic recovery is on a firmer footing, and overall conditions in the labor market appear to be improving gradually,” the Fed said in a statement explaining its decision.

The announcement was widely expected, but some investors said they were pleased by the rosier economic outlook. On a day when events in Japan drove most indexes lower, markets regained some ground after the midafternoon announcement.

However, while the statement on Tuesday reflected greater optimism about the economy than

the central bank’s last communiqué in January, recovering from a recession is not the same thing as being in good health. Fed officials say they still are not convinced that the economy will continue to grow without federal support.

The Fed said that the unemployment rate remained well above historic norms, and the construction industry — a pillar of the economy — was still in the doldrums.

Moreover, the Fed acknowledged that the increased price of oil and other commodities “are currently putting upward pressure on inflation,” and the Fed said it was keeping a close eye on that trend. But it said that surge was likely to subside without causing a rise in the prices of a broader range of goods and services.

The Fed has struggled to explain why it is not worried about inflation at a time when consumers are paying more to buy food and fill their gasoline tanks.

The nation’s senior economic officials view broader measurements of prices as more reliable predictors of future increases in the price of all goods and services.

The Fed said that inflation remained below the level that it considered normal, about 2 percent a year, and would most likely remain low for the next several years. see FED page 42

When Ben S. Bernanke, the Fed chairman, was asked during Congressional testimony earlier this month about the rise in the prices of oil and other commodities, he said, “The most likely outcome is that the recent rise in commodity prices will lead to, at most, a temporary and relatively modest increase in U.S. consumer price inflation.”

The combination of concern about the economic recovery and equanimity about inflation is the driving force in the Fed’s continued, extraordinary stimulus campaign.

The Fed aims to control the rate that banks charge each other for loans, known as the federal funds target rate. Raising and lowering that rate works like a floodgate controlling how much money flows into the economy.

For the last two years, the Fed has removed the gate entirely, holding the interest near zero.

To further stimulate growth, the Fed also embarked on an unprecedented policy of buying vast quantities of securities, which creates reserves that banks can draw to make loans. That effectively increases the amount of money that can flow into the economy.

The central bank has invested more than $2 trillion in buying mortgage and Treasury securities since the start of the financial crisis in 2008. Since Novem-

ber, the Fed has bought securities at a rate of about $75 billion a month.

The current round of purchases is scheduled to end in June, and close watchers of the Fed said Tuesday that the latest statement contained no suggestion that the economy was weak enough to require a continued program of purchases.

“The tone is much less worried about growth being too weak and inflation being too low than it was earlier,” said James O’Sullivan, chief economist at the brokerage MF Global. “That seems to signal that there’s no need for a third round of asset purchases.”

Bernanke has said that Fed would judge its next steps based on the state of the economy in the coming months.

He has specifically said that he wanted to see evidence of a “self-sustaining” recovery in the form of strong increases private sector employment.

“Until we see a sustained period of stronger job creation, we cannot consider the recovery to be truly established,” Bernanke told Congress earlier this month.

Some members of the Fed’s policymaking committee have suggested in recent months that the Fed should consider ending the purchases before June, but none have yet broken ranks with Bernanke.

Kevin M. Warsh, a Fed governor who is a Bush appointee and has said that he would resign at the end of the month, did not attend the meeting.

A shift in the balance of debt obligations

BY FLOYD NORRIS NEW YORK TIMES

For years, the American financial sector borrowed and borrowed. Its obligations rose even more rapidly than consumers’. Both sectors were far more aggressive borrowers than the federal government.

Now that has reversed. The Federal Reserve reported this month that the outstanding debts of both the financial sector and households fell in 2010, as they had in 2009.

When financial sector debt was increasing — it rose faster than the debt of any other sector for nine consecutive years beginning in 1993, and then again in 2007 as the financial crisis was just beginning —

much of the change represented the growth of financial engineering. Putting a bunch of mortgages into a securitization creates debt as large as all of the mortgage loans that are included. If a collateralized debt obligation is then created and backed by parts of previous securitizations, more debt is created.

Increasing debt levels in the financial sector did not set off alarms before the crisis. Adair Turner, the chairman of Britain’s Financial Services Authority, noted at a conference sponsored by the International Monetary Fund last week that “the dominant conventional wisdom” was that “this increase was increasing financial stability because it was dispersing risks efficiently into the balance sheets of those best placed to manage that risk.”
