CONWAY — Selectmen and the budget committee are recommending an $85,147 increase to the police budget over 2010. Police commissioners are looking for more, and they will be taking their case to voters at next week's deliberative session of town meeting. “People need to understand we are not asking for money we don’t need,” police commissioner Theresa Kennett said at the commission meeting Tuesday. The budget committee and the selectmen both recommended a police budget of $2.7 million, an increase of $85,147 over 2010. But that recommendation is $84,153 below the department’s

Famous, with foot in mouth
Charlie Sheen has an addiction. Mr. Sheen took a drug test on Saturday and allowed the results — negative — to be revealed on Monday on “Good Morning America” on ABC. He also assured the “Today” show on NBC that he had cured himself of substance abuse. “I closed my eyes and made it so with the power of my mind,” is how he put it. But a urine sample and a blood test can’t trace what troubles Mr. Sheen at the moment: he is addicted to explaining himself on the air. His dependence is not unique. Troubled politicians and celebrities often turn to television and radio to retune their images radically — it’s a One Step program to persuade themselves of their own powers of persuasion. And self-delusion has no borders. Mr. Sheen’s grandiose rants on the nation’s two leading morning talk shows — and via live stream on the gossip Web site TMZ — were more unmoored than most, but he showed all the usual symptoms of an insulated star with an unreasoned belief in his own invulnerability. Asked if he was bipolar, Mr. Sheen said he was “bi-winning.” Like a lot of bad habits, Mr. Sheen’s addiction started out small, with a few rambling calls to radio shows, then escalated into full-blown interviews on network television and TMZ.

I’ve always been pretty old-fashioned.” —Charlie Sheen

Ohio set to vote on union rights
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
COLUMBUS, Ohio (NY Times) — Republican State Senators on Tuesday unveiled a new version of a bill governing public employee unions, saying the legislation would preserve the right of workers to bargain collectively, but Democratic lawmakers said it did not appear to include enough modifications to win their support. One proposal that Republicans appear
to have left in the legislation, and which is hotly contested by Democrats and union members, would bar public unions from striking. “If you take away the right to strike, you are taking the biggest bargaining chip off the table,” said Senator Joe Schiavoni, a Democrat. Shortly after the bill was introduced
Tuesday afternoon, Democratic lawyers and lawmakers began poring over its contents. The legislation could come to a vote in the State Senate as early as Wednesday. While the restoration of bargaining rights in the 99-page bill represented a concession by Republicans, it was not immediately clear to what extent unions would be able to exercise those rights.
Even a weakened Qaddafi Crude oil prices soar on may be hard to dislodge fears of more disruptions PARIS (NY Times) — The regime of the Libyan leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, has been badly undermined, but he retains enough support among critical tribes and institutions, including parts of the army and the air force, that he might be able to retain power in the capital, Tripoli, for some time to come, say experts on Libya and its military. They caution that the situation on the ground is both fluid and confusing. But they emphasize that tribal loyalties remain an important indicator, and that there is

no clear geographical dividing line between the opponents to Colonel Qaddafi and his supporters. They suggest that eastern Libya, which was first to fall to the opposition, was always considered the most rebellious part of the country and had been starved of funds and equipment by Colonel Qaddafi. The region, known as Cyrenaica, was an Italian colony and the heartland of the Senussi tribe that produced the monarch, King Idris I, who was overthrown by Colonel Qaddafi and his army colleagues in 1969.
HOUSTON (NY Times) — Just when oil markets appeared to be calming, crude prices surged again on Tuesday as the potential for more oil shipment disruptions spread across the Middle East and North Africa. With Libya’s oil exports almost entirely halted for the last several days, renewed unrest in Oman, Iran and Iraq rattled oil traders. An interruption of shipments from any of those countries would further tighten oil supplies, even as Saudi Arabia has rushed to fill the vacuum of Libyan supplies by pumping more oil from its fields. Gold prices also surged on the latest reports, and indexes on Wall Street declined sharply, with the Dow Jones industrial average down more than 1.1 percent. In the latest sign that the political contagion was spreading, demonstrators in Oman on Tuesday tried to block a major road leading to the industrial port town of Sohar.

Bill would define some airport screening as sexual assault CONCORD — A House committee held a hearing Tuesday on a bill that would make it a sexual assault for an airport screener to touch or view a person’s breast or genitals without probable cause. The bill (HB628-FN) includes anyone working as a security agent of the federal, state, or local government, and includes touching or viewing with a “technological device.” The bill states “discussing or possessing a copy of the Constitution, discussing the security apparatus of an airport, being on the premises of an
airport, possessing an airplane ticket or any other type of ticket for access to mass transportation, driving a motor vehicle on a public way, or ownership of firearms” should not be considered probable cause. Anyone convicted of the offense would be classified as a tier III sex offender. Tier III sex offenders are registered for life and must remain on the public list of sex offenders. The bill was heard by the House Criminal Justice Committee at 11:15 a.m. —Courtesy of WMUR
Guinta, Bass vote to keep federal government funded until March 18 BY JOHN DISTASO THE UNION LEADER
New Hampshire’s two Republican U.S. House members voted with the majority in a lopsided 335-91 vote Tuesday afternoon to keep the federal government running through March 18. House Republicans say the bill cuts $4 billion in spending while preventing a government shutdown on Saturday. The bill now goes to the Senate, where Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nevada, has said he expects that it will pass. It is also expected to be signed by President Barack Obama. Rep. Frank Guinta, R-N.H., said in a statement, “This is another vic-
tory in the long campaign to restore fiscal sanity to Washington. We in the House are acting responsibly, making the real-time spending cuts the people want. “We passed a continuing resolution 10 days ago that contained $61 billion in cuts, only to watch Senate Democrats dig in their heels in opposition,” he said. Guinta said, “Today we won $4.01 billion in spending reductions. It’s a positive step forward, but it’s a baby step. We must cut even more. I will keep fighting for meaningful spending cuts until Washington finally kicks the habit of irresponsible spending.” A statement from Rep. Charles Bass, R-N.H., who also voted for the budget continuing resolution, will be issued shortly, a spokesman said.

Please turn out for deliberative sessions To the editor: On Sunday, Feb. 13, as a representative of the East Conway Fire Precinct, I attended a meeting of the town budget committee. This was to be the last meeting of the budget committee before the deliberative meetings on March 7 and 9. Up to this time, we had reviewed a lot of material concerning both town and school budgets but had never voted on figures to put forward at the deliberative meetings. The discussions of and investigations of possible cuts prior to this were instigated by either the SAU 9 office or your school board. At the above-mentioned meeting the public was present by a count of six as well as a reporter and a TV operator. Tow of the six made a lot of noise and accused us of not representing anyone, being out of touch, wrong and a few other things. We were not supposed to consider costs or ability to pay — just rubber stamp another budget. The selectmen’s representative had recently received information from Dr. Nelson about test scores, student numbers, etc. that he had requested some time ago. One of these very vocal citizens, without even fully reading, said she didn’t believe them. A member of the budget committee with a lot of budget experience in the past and who some time ago
was town treasurer for about 10 years brought out the fact that the school budget had gone up 7.2 percent per year for the last 10 years, which in actuality means that the budget had doubled in 10 years. We have many people in this town and, yes, across this country who are highly educated but don’t care about facts. Nor do they recognize the difference between red ink and black ink, etc. If you want to stop this rolling snow ball that gets bigger and raises taxes every year, you must attend the deliberative meetings on March 7 (for the town) and March 9 (school); that is where the figures that are on the ballot in the booth on April 12 are decided. The special interest groups will be there I can assure you and if you’re not there to support your budget committee and vote to counter some of the special interest groups, you will not like what you see on the ballot in April. Please turn out in large numbers as you did at the polls on Nov. 2, 2010. There were 3,300 voters that day, but still there are another 3,300 who stayed home. We need your support. In a recent Conway Daily Sun, a writer said that only four budget committee members were present on Feb. 13. I know for a fact that there were 10. I was there. Douglas M. Swett East Conway

Little Things When I was a teenager, my friend and I would sneak into hotels to use the pool. Rather observant at that age, I would stare in shock at the couples that lay around, in dead silence, reading books (gasp!). “How can they not even be talking to each other?” my romantic mind would ask. I swore I would never be half of a couple like that. (I’m not.) Then we would get kicked out by some over-eager pool manager and I am sure those silent couples were annoyed that we broke their fleeting and (now I know) valuable moments of peace. I bet most people when walking down the aisle never imagine they will be at dinner with absolutely nothing to say to their spouse. Or dreading 5 p.m., when they get home from the office. Or fantasizing about being married to someone else. But that is more common than people like to admit. A friend’s therapist told her, “In order to be clinically labeled a ‘happy couple,’ you need be happy only 70 percent of the time.” Granted, 70 percent is a good push over half, but would you buy a car that left you stuck in the driveway 30 percent of the time? The minister doesn’t slip a memo that reads, “BTW, marriage isn’t dating” once “I do’s” are said. Maybe they should. It seems couples get frustrated and depressed and even divorced over that decline of sparkle that defined the reason for getting married in the first place. They assume to be immune to the stress of work and kids and cleaning and all the stuff that piles up in lieu of flowers and love letters. Yet people still aspire to be married, even though they are quite aware of the 50 percent divorce rate. So, there must be some secret that couples have that keeps them in love for the long haul. It all boils down to (drum roll) The. Little. Things. Move over weekend in Paris. Forget passionate kisses up against the dryer. Stop listening for serenades out the window. Couples that make it go the distance don’t need gaudy signs of love. “One of the things my best fella does for me is mop the floor and helps me make the bed everyday,” says Mo T. “It’s not much, but it’s a couple of the little things he does to make my everyday nice.” Susan D. agrees. “We have been married for 17 years and it is the little things that we do for each other. Food is really important to my husband, so I will wake up 20 minutes early to make his lunch. When he knows I have something big at work, he will send an encouraging text and come home with an iced tea.” Amy E. and her hubby, married for 16 1/2 years vowed when the kids were born that they would share in the exhaustion by getting
“Sometimes I will see a note on the fridge thanking me for being a great mom or making a yummy dinner. That makes me happy for a week.” up early together. “He starts my car in the morning and I make his coffee,” she says. “We are also very aware of each other’s hearts. We fight at times, but we never do or say anything that hurts the other. We are very conscious of each other’s hearts. I tell him if he leaves me I am going with him.” Communication is always a vital aspect of making any relationship work. Matt H. sums it up, “Talking good. Not talking bad.” And that includes little notes of appreciation, too. “It doesn’t happen often,” says Meg F. “But sometimes I will see a note on the fridge thanking me for being a great mom or making a yummy dinner. That makes me happy for a week.” It is all so economically friendly! That kind of stuff is FREE. Listen up: I know you think we women expect diamonds at breakfast but seriously, leave a VM saying you miss us, take the kids for a long walk so we can take a bath, put your dishes in the sink. And ladies, wash your man’s car, make him a steak on a Tuesday, let him go skiing with his buddies. Alisa Bowman’s new book, “Project Happily Every After,” chronicles her last-ditch effort to save her marriage. She had started daydreaming about her very healthy husband’s funeral and figured she probably wasn’t the only one secretly choosing a slimming black dress and writing a hopefully sadsounding eulogy. One healing exercise she offers is to write down all the reasons you love your mate. Once you see the black and white proof of what a great person you married (remember them?) then perhaps their habit of leaving the toothpaste open and oozing down the cabinets won’t seem so awful. You can fall in love with your spouse again, even if it is for whole new reasons than you did the first time. It comes down to remembering you are half of a whole and being thoughtful of your mate’s likes, wishes and behavior. It is a little output for a whole lot in return. If you focus on the little things, you too can get your (70 percent) Happily Every After. (This is dedicated to STB III who proved that just because one doesn’t share the same blood doesn’t make them any less family.) Maggie Knowles lives in Portland with her husband, North Conway orthodontist Bruce Podhouser and a toddler son. Her column also appears in The Portland Daily Sun.

Vote for Dan Sinapius for planning and zoning boards To the editor: This year my father Dan Sinapius is running for the planning and zoning boards of Effingham. The town is in need of changes and my Dad has some great ideas. He is for the people of Effingham, and believes that everyone should be informed as to what is being voted on. I use to live in Effingham and volunteered on the Effingham Fire
Department for the past six years. I have seen a lot of things happen and know that it’s time for Effingham to have some new faces on the boards. I do not live in town anymore so I cannot vote, therefore I am asking the townspeople of Effingham for your support and vote on March 8, to support my Dad, Dan Sinapius for planning and zoning boards. D.J. Sinapius Tamworth
Full-day kindergarten not a one-size fits all situation To the editor: Right now, Madison Elementary School is campaigning to change their half-day kindergarten program to fullday. Voters, in Madison, will be asked to approve this change next week. This program is not recommended by the budget committee. I would like to give the voters another perspective not included in the Madison full-day kindergarten campaign currently being carried out. At this time Madison offers both morning and afternoon kindergarten classes. A second class is offered for those needing extra help, called Ready Readers. Children enrolled in Ready Readers may arrive for morning kindergarten and stay through for a full school day. The plan is that the current Ready Reader teacher will become the second full-day kindergarten teacher. While the initial start up cost for implementation is not staggering, it is just that … a starting point. Only to be added to year after year, and become increasingly more expensive to maintain. Full-day kindergarten is not a onesize fits all situation for 5 year olds and their families. I do not believe that Madison Elementary should offer a fullday-only curriculum. It appeals to and may work for a segment of the population while doing so it is off-putting and just not the right fit for the other. It is my belief that in order for Madison to implement a full-day curriculum, they should do so while keeping in place the half-day option. I do not, as suggested by the administration, believe that having the option of kindergartners coming in and out of the class at will is fair to students or teacher. Those children then only receive a disjointed curriculum and the teacher has to contend with the class interruptions. I have spoken with several teachers who think that would be too disruptive and distracting for the class. At the several meetings I have attended on the subject over the years, the administration puts forth its belief in the philosophy of full-day, but the discussion, 100 percent of the time, turns to the work hours of the parents. This always leaves me wondering: Is it truly in the best interest of the child or in the best interest of the parents’ work schedule? Families, such as my own, as well as others I have discussed this with, do not believe in the philosophy of 5 year olds in the classroom, a full day, attaining to academics. There are folks who strongly believe that children deserve to experience the important stepping stone of a half-day program prior to entering into 12 years of institutionalized education. According to the Madison Elementary School webpage: A full day kindergarten program will: increase academic achievement, increase scores on standardized achievement tests, will provide
significantly stronger gains academically, and the school will have fewer grade retentions. In 1989, 40 percent of schools offered full-day kindergarten. In 2000, 63 percent offered full-day kindergarten. And finally, “Families need a safe, nurturing environment for children to experience meaningful learning opportunities.” There are several studies (see below) available that suggest any academic gains provided by a full day program are awash by third to fifth grade. One study indicates that mathematics scores are negatively impacted by fifth grade, where students received a fullday program. There are also several studies including one by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which tout the benefits of free play as the young child’s work, claiming children today are lacking enough free play and free play should not take a back seat to academics. When asked about grade retentions over the past five to seven years, Madison records indicate one student was slated for grade retention and he/she did not return the following fall. As far as a higher percentage of schools moving toward full-day kindergarten, not all trends are positive in nature. Other percentages on the rise are childhood obesity, adult onset diabetes in children, sedentary lifestyles, disconnected families etc. Finally, I would challenge that all learning is meaningful when you are a 5 year old. What one person classifies as meaningful or important to learn at the age of 5 does not mean that other folks would hold the same opinion. In recent history, field trips have been on the chopping block, Tin Mountain education program has been cut from the curriculum (hopefully, this valuable program will be fully re-instated in the near future), and according to the school board minutes our buses may be in need of a great deal of attention and money. With the rising heat/fuel costs and instability of the economy, it seems ill-timed to spend money introducing a new program. Between the cost, the fact that academic reasoning is short term at best, and the fact that full day kindergarten is not best for all students and families. I do not think Madison should be introducing a full-day curriculum unless it is prepared to offer a half-day curriculum choice. It seems the best way to be fully respectful of those who believe in the philosophy of a full-day program and those who do not.

LETTERS
Perhaps snowmobile solution could end controversy To the editor: After reading many letters, both pro and con, concerning the Lead Mine Road property in Madison, I feel compelled to put in my two cents! Back in the late 60s and early 70s, I owned the property referred to, with my wife. On a particular Thanksgiving in that period, we decided to have our dinner at the camp, along with my mother and step-father who lived in Tamworth. That evening after they had left and we had gone to bed, a surprise snow storm arrived. The next morning we woke to about eight inches of snow. Since the road was not winter maintained, we were in a rather difficult situation. Around midday, we heard a rather loud engine noise. I trudged through the snow to the end of our driveway and low and behold, there came a road grader with a snowplow on the front!
It seems my mother, who was worried about her son and family’s well-being, had called the Madison town office and reported our dilemma. Out of kindness and concern, the town road agent had activated his equipment and saved the day. So, don’t let anyone tell you that Lead Mine Road has never been plowed in winter! We had many good times on Lead Mine Road in those years. In winter we drove in from East Shore Drive by snowmobile, towing a toboggan behind with our supplies. The town plowed about 75 feet off the paved road for our vehicles and such. Perhaps the Veilleuxs could use such a system by picking up a couple of snowmobiles and trailers. This could end the controversy and meet their challenge of easy egress and regress and make both factions of letter writers happy. D. Arthur Knowles Effingham
Keep planning board and conservation commission To the editor: I believe that abolishing the planning board will mean less income, more expenses, and higher taxes for Tamworth. New Hampshire state laws give towns the power to regulate land use. Towns can grant permits for driveways and access roads, allow subdivision of lots, adjust lot boundaries, and more. But the current laws are written to allow planning boards to exercise that authority on behalf of the town. The state can’t issue town permits, and it is questionable as to how much the selectboard can do. If there’s no planning board, town government will be severely hampered, causing confusion and conflict. Over the past several years,
Tamworth government has been streamlined, made more open and professional. This is being jeopardized by the short-sighted, knee-jerk effort to abolish the planning board and conservation commission. We need the planning board to help facilitate growth and economic activity in town, and we need the conservation commission to advise the planning board on how to protect our watershed and other natural resources. I hope my Tamworth neighbors will vote no on articles 4 and 5 of the town warrant, and keep the planning board and conservation commission in place. Ruth G. Timchak Tamworth
I want a better education for everyone’s children To the editor: Personally I try to stay away from “letters to the editor” or “editorial columns” rebuttals, as they seem to just prolong the negativity that seems so prevalent in our valley (and country) today. This time I felt I must reply to Bill Marvel’s characterization of the Mt. Washington Valley Coalition for Educational Excellence as a “collaborator” of the teachers’ union. I am a member of the coalition’s “Data and Benchmarking Committee.” I joined the group because I am not satisfied with the quality of education offered in our schools. In this committee we are trying to find quantifiable and verifiable data to give a true picture of where the schools in the district are and, through benchmarks, a path to an improving education for all the students in the valley. Do any members in my committee have a personal agenda? I suspect some do. I have one. I have a son who is a freshman at Kennett High School. I have another who will be there in a few years. I need to see a higher quality of education for both my children
and all the children in the valley. In my committee we have distinctly different views of where the schools are, where they need to go and how to get there. But we work together to further one goal, to improve the quality of the education in our schools. We discuss, we research, we compare and we try to come to solutions to some of today’s educational problems. I have always agreed with some of what Bill Marvel has written and disagreed with other parts. Some of what he has written has made me pause and think about an issue from a different point of view. On a whole I have enjoyed his writings. Part of my problem with it currently is at times they simply spur on more and seemingly endless discussion with no action. I joined the Mount Washington Valley Coalition for Educational Excellence to accomplish something I felt was important. I want a better education for my (and everyone else’s) children. Joe Lentini Conway
Letter a slap in the face of good citizens of Freedom To the editor: Anthony Cloutier, Freedom School Board Member, suggests that unless the registered voters of Freedom regularly attend meetings of the school board and their committees that we are not being responsible citizens and should “not share our ignorant opinions just because (we) have the right to.” Mr. Cloutier, Freedom was a great town before you came here a few short years ago, and it will be a great town when you leave, despite the fact that apparently we have a lot of ignorant people in town. Perhaps if the school board held meetings at times that working people could attend, like every other town board, more people would attend.
Perhaps if the school’s website was updated with current information and issues, people would better informed, but we’re smart people in Freedom, Anthony, and believe it or not, many of us are able to make decisions on our feet, at the annual school and town meetings. For many years, Tom Kondrat was Freedom’s treasurer, and probably the most active participant at annual school and town meetings, despite rarely attending regular meetings, and he always seemed to have a firm grasp of the issues. Your letter was a slap in the face of the good citizens of Freedom. John D. Krebs Freedom

SIGNUPS from page one
The filing deadline is this Friday at 5 p.m. at the town hall in Center Conway. The cost to sign up is $1. There are four candidates now vying for two three-year seats on the board of selectmen. Incumbents Bob Drinkhall and David Weathers both signed last week and now will be joined on the ballot by Wayne Brett and Michael Boucher. Drinkhall is seeking a second term on the board while Weathers has served 10 years. Also on the town side of things, Brett signed up for a three-year term on the police commission. He will challenge Rodney King, who was appointed last year to fill out the remainder of Bob Porter's term. King signed up last week. There's also a race for two threeyear terms as library trustees. Incumbents Bill Marvel and Judith Seddon both have filed for re-election while Sarah Charles had also signed up. Greydon Turner, who was appointed to the budget committee last week, has filed for the one-year term, as has Brian Charles. The budget committee, which currently has eight vacancies, is all of a sudden attracting some interest. There are three three-year terms, a two-year and a one-year. William Masters and Linda Teagan's terms are expiring. Teagan filed to retain her seat Tuesday while East Conway's Michael Boucher also signed up for the three-year post. Jason Fougere threw his hat into the ring for the two-year term on the
budget committee. Another seat for one year will open up in April when current chairman David Sordi plans to step down. No one has filed for the two threeyear seats on the planning board. David Sordi and Martha Tobin's are the incumbents. There are two openings for supervisors of the checklists: a one-year and a three-year position. Mary Cuthbertson and Mary Day currently hold the seats. Cuthbertson and Denise Leighton have both filed for the three-year seat. No one has filed for the moderator post, a one-year term. Doug Burnell is the incumbent. Incumbent Wendy Holmes has filed for the three-year trustee of funds position. There are three three-year seats on the school board opening up: Janine McLauchlan and Rick Breton are the incumbents while Alana Starkey was appointed last summer to fill out the remainder of Kelley Murphy's term on the board. Breton and Starkey both signed up last Wednesday while Melissa Stacey, former chair of the budget committee, joined the race Tuesday. Other school positions available include: one-year terms for moderator (Burnell is the incumbent), treasurer (Ted Sares is the incumbent and has filed for another term) and clerk (Rhoda Quint is the incumbent). Voting for offices takes place on April 12 at the Conway Community Building in Center Conway from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

“We can’t afford to lose public trust,” Kennett said, adding that it all comes down to the deliberative meeting. “We really have to be successful there.” Kennett said she’d been getting calls from people in light of the department's year-end spending patterns The Conway Daily Sun reported the week before. In the closing days of 2008 and 2009, police bought equipment with money that had not been spent during the year. If the department is unable to keep the voters on their side, Kennett said, the department won’t be able to provide the same services in 2011 as in past years. The budget increase approved by the budget committee and the selectmen would cover this year’s salary and benefit increases, but it won’t pay for an additional police officer and the cost of switching two officers who are getting married to family insurance plans. “I don’t think there’s an option of not hiring an additional officer,” chief Ed Wagner said. The department requested three new officers, and the selectmen advised police to put two on a separate warrant article. The third officer the selectmen said they supported, but they did not support the $50,000 budget increase the police requested to pay for it. The department isn’t going to be able to find the $50,000 in its budget, Kennett said, which is what the selectmen were looking for.
Police commissioner Theresa Kennett
“We don’t have a cushion,” she said. The department is looking at dispatch services as the only place to cut. “We will no longer be able to provide the 24-hour dispatch center,” Wagner told the commissioners, if police don’t get the money, and they may have to consider doing away with the center all together. The department needs to have contingency plans in case the voters don’t move in their favor, Kennett said. “They don’t have to give us anything," she said. "You never know who will show up to the deliberative session.” Deliberative town meeting is Monday at 7 p.m. at Kennett High's Loynd Auditorium.

Bartlett residents pack town hall for candidates’ forum BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
BARTLETT — "I'm glad we have three great people running," said Norman Head, who moderated a meet-the-selectman-candidates forum at the Bartlett Town Hall last week. Erik Corbett, owner of Good Tail Lobster Pound in Glen; Steven Iannuzzi, owner of the White Mountain Cupcakery in North Conway; and David A. Patch, who works for the New Hampshire Electric Co-op, are seeking the three-year seat on the board. The trio fielded a wide range of questions during the 75-minute session. The forum was organized by the Bartlett Library Trustees. One thing was clearly evident: People are interested in this race. What eventually became a standing room crowd of 55 people — more than attended the annual school district meeting last March where an $8 million budget was approved — packed into the meeting room and digested every word. While there wasn't a clear-cut winner on the evening, it was clear to voters that all three candidates love living in town and want to give back to their community. There was one awkward moment toward the end of the evening when Head asked the candidates if they had any questions for each other. It was then that Patch asked that he be provided with questions in advance,

something apparently his opponents were given. "Next time we do this I'd like everyone to get the questions," Patch said, explaining everyone would be on level footing. "I got an e-mail from Marcia (Birchstead, a library trustee) who gave me some of the possible topics," Corbett replied. Iannuzzi had a few pages of prepared notes. The candidates really didn't have
any questions for each other and tended to agree with one another on most that were asked or promised to look into matters should they be elected. Several of the questions seemed more geared toward planning board matters. Incumbent Jon Tanguay, who opted not to seek a third term on the board, was in the audience while fellow selectmen Gene Chandler and Doug Garland were not on hand. Head gave each candidate three

minutes for opening remarks and then allowed citizens to ask any questions on their minds. Iannuzzi said he and his wife live in Glen with their two children. He is a retired police officer, having served for 12 years. He is the co-owner of the White Mountain Cupcakery. He said he's been involved in politics in the past. "I will be a voice for all of the residents in Bartlett," he said. "If elected I see BARTLETT page 12

BARTLETT from page 11
look forward to being a new voice. We live in an amazing place. I hope we can continue to maintain that that charm (while moving forward)." Patch is a lifelong resident of Bartlett. He's worked for the N.H. Electric Co-op for the past 22 years. His family has a long history of serving in town and school government in Bartlett with his father currently on the planning board while two of his uncles have sat on the school board and the board of selectmen. "I've lived in this town all my life," he said. "I think it's time that I gave back to it." Corbett, who owns Good Tail Lobster Pound in Glen,
has lived in Bartlett for five and half years. A graduate of UMass-Lowell, he headed the adaptive ski program at Attitash for five years. Corbert explained he's been interested in politics for awhile and was part of the MWV Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Program last year and enjoyed it. "I went to town meeting and was surprised there were so few people running for things," he said."Bartlett is a great place. We've chosen to stay here. I'd like to keep Bartlett a great place to live and also adapt with the times." The candidates were encouraged to to try to help grow Bartlett Village and make it more business friendly,and all agreed to pursue that goal. They agreed on the need for workforce housing. They agreed
to attend any selectman training courses offered by the state and also said they would support wind turbine energy if possible. They were asked about future expansion of such things as a town library, a town recreation department or even a historical society spot — even the possibility of one site for all three entities. "I know there have been some scheduling issues with the library at the school," Corbett said. "I don't think we should go into debt trying to set aside (funds) for it, but I'd be willing to look at it." "The people in town need to get involved in their town if it's something you want to see happen," Iannuzzi said. "Why not combine a library, rec. center and historical society — I think it'd be fantastic." "I agree," Patch said."I think all three uses should be tied together as much as we can." The three were asked if they had any goals they'd like to accomplish over the next three years. "Bartlett seems to have a reputation of being antibusiness," Corbett said."While I don't think we want to see a Wal-Mart here, I think maybe we could do more." "I have no agenda, per se," Patch offered. "I feel we have some good services here. I'm not going to say we need broad changes, but I'd look at everything. People asked me to run and all I hope to do is what's best for the town." "Maybe update things technology-wise," Iannuzzi said, "and try to make things run more efficient within the town." None of the candidates have attended a selectmen's meeting, but Corbett was on hand for the town budget hearing earlier this month. The candidates were asked what they see as the greatest challenge facing Bartlett and how to address it. "It's keeping the small town character while still progressing," Corbett said. "With the way the economic times are, it's a juggling act to make things work," said Patch. "I'd like to see more people get involved in town," Iannuzzi said. "Not just have three selectmen making all the decisions. I'd encourage people to get involved." Candidates were asked if they had a strong enough personality to mesh with fellow selectmen Chandler and Garland. "If I have an opinion, I'll share it," Iannuzzi said."I'm not going to let anyone sway my decision. I'm going to do what's right for the town. As a police officer you learn if you back down you don't go home." "You shouldn't have personal feelings (in the role as selectman)," Patch said. "It's what's best for the town. I think I'll be alright (with the other selectmen)." "I'm always looking for new ways to accomplish what needs to be done," Corbett offered. Candidates were asked about the current meeting schedule of Friday mornings. "I'd be open to change if need be," Parch said. "I'm OK with making most meetings. I'm not sure what would be a better time." "The current schedule works well for me," Corbett added. "I've heard the meetings can be kind of secretive and tough to attend. I'd be open to changing the hours if that's what people wanted." "I'm self-employed so I have the flexibility to make them," Iannuzzi said. The three do not support term limits. The candidates were given an opportunity for closing remarks. "I've lived here all my life," Patch said. "I felt it was time to give back to the community. I feel I can do a good job." "I feel this is a great opportunity to get involved," Iannuzzi said. "We live in a great community. I feel there are some things that can be improved. I'd appreciate your vote." "I want to do what I can to continue to make this a great place to live," Corbett said. "I think the New Hampshire form of town government is great." The candidates also provided their contact information if anyone wanted to ask follow-up questions: Corbett can be reached at 978-771-2675 or erik@ goodtaillobster.com Patch: 383-9281 or patchd@nhec.com Iannuzzi: 986-7002 or steveniannuzzi@yahoo.com Voting will take place Tuesday, March 8, at town hall from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Nursing home budget outlook not so rosy after all BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
OSSIPEE — The nursing home won’t be running a budget surplus this year after all. In reality, it will be in the hole $1 million, the nursing home’s administrator reported to the county delegation recently. Back in December, lawmakers and county officials were praising nursing home staff for taking the facility’s budget out of the red and into the black. In county government, a group of 14 state representatives approve the county’s bottom line budget figure. County commissioners manage the money with help from department heads. At the end of 2010, county officials believed that the county’s Mountain View Nursing Home was running a $43,000 surplus largely because the building was filled to its 103-bed capacity since June. This surplus would be surprising because historically the nursing home runs a deficit of $2.5 million. However, nursing home administrator Sandi McKenzie said December’s numbers weren’t accurate. In fact, the nursing home was running $1 million deficit. Between September and December it appeared the nursing home would be close to breaking even. McKenzie confirmed those numbers with other administrators and the county commissioners. “The problem was our payroll lagged behind...by
about two or three weeks,” said McKenzie.”We knew our revenue was up. We believed everything was there but it wasn’t. We didn’t notice that until the second week in January.” Even with a $1 million deficit, the nursing home is still doing better than last year when it ran a deficit of about $1.5 million. The good news is the county is getting a new timekeeping system called Kronos, which will make payroll much easier to track. It will eliminate the lag problem, she said. The county commissioner’s proposed nursing home budget is about $6.1 million budget. The delegation will approve the county’s budget in March. Another factor influencing this budget is the fact that the federal stimulus will run out this year. Last year, the nursing home received $341,591 in stimulus funds. In 2011, the amount from stimulus will be cut in half, at best. Also, the Medicaid rate will be reset in June. Medicaid reimburses the county for taking care of Medicaid residents on a per-day rate. There is discussion of cutting the rate by 20 percent. McKenzie said such a cut would be “very detrimental.” “I wish that I could say because of the revenue increase we had last year the budget would look much improved but I don’t have confidence in that,” said McKenzie. “I will not spend a cent I don’t need to spend. There is a world of uncertainty out there.”

contractor for the school addition/renovation project. Damage was confined to a small area of the roof and wall where the existing middle school meets the new addition. Wolfeboro Fire-Rescue chief Butch Morrill said the cause was accidental and was the result of use of a cutting torch in the area. Students were evacuated to the nearby Kingswood Arts Center for the duration of the incident. Wolfeboro Fire-Rescue cleared the scene at 12:56 p.m.

Berlin and Gorham reiterate support for Conway bypass BY CRAIG LYONS THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
BERLIN — The city of Berlin last week became the latest community to pass a resolution supporting the funding and completion of the Conway bypass project. The city council unanimously voted to pass the bypass resolution after it received a request from North Country
Council asking the board to consider it. The Gorham Board of Selectmen recently passed the same resolution. North Country Council is circulating the bypass resolution to help gather support for the bypass project. The resolution supports restoring the central and northern portions of the bypass project to the state’s 10-year transportation plan and states that removing those two pieces of the proj-
ect would undercut the earlier work put into the proposal and ignore the needs of the North Country. The resolution states that the governor, executive council and the N.H. Department of Transportation should take the necessary actions to put the project back on track, fully fund it and build it. see BYPASS page 16
Sweet week for February vacation week business BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — It was a sweet week economically for tourism-dependent businesses for the first school vacation week, Feb. 19-27, especially for the non-profit Mount Washington Valley Ski Touring and Snowshoe Association. The Intervale-based ski touring association had a record turnout of more than 800 participants for its 22nd annual Chocolate Festival Feb. 27, according to publicist Barbara Sisson. “This was definitely the sweetest day on the trails,’ with perfect trail conditions, a little light snow and more than 800 in attendance at our annual fund-raiser,” said Sisson. Participants obtained passes at 10 or more stops along the trail system, cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. A shuttle bus was also in use for the event, allowing non-skiers to participate. Patrons could also drive their own vehicles. Among the busier stops were the Riverside, the Stonehurst, Adventure Suites and the 1785 Inn. The Chocolate Festival capped what was a strong week locally, as vacationing families from New Hampshire and Maine school districts joined their Massachusetts counterparts for the Feb. 21-25 week off. It was the first time in several years that all three states observed the same vacation week, although school districts along New Hampshire's Seacoast and some districts in Canada were still observing this second week as their vacation period, Feb. 28 through March 4. “We're still seeing families here this week, many of them Canadian, and also from places like Rye from the Seacoast, so that's good,” said Doug Garland of Bear Notch Ski Touring and Snowshoe Center in Bartlett Tuesday. “We had the snow for the first week, and now after

the snow of the past few days, people are enjoying January conditions in March.” Interviews with other downhill and ski-touring centers backed up Garland's take on the first vacation week. It was strong, as areas were blessed with ample snow, no rain and a somewhat stronger economy. The February vacation week is always one of the biggest of the season, along with Christmas week. “It was not a record-breaker, but it was very good. People came up
and enjoyed the snow, and we provided them with the good conditions. That's what we do,” said Thom Perkins, executive director of the non-profit Jackson Ski Touring Foundation. Perkins was recently named the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award by the North American Snowsports Journalists Association for his 35 years of dedication to the sport of cross-country skiing at the world-renowned center. see VACATION WEEK page 17

Communities in Coos County have voiced support for the project since the area stands to benefit from an improved traffic flow along Route 16. “It’s extremely important,” said Gorham selectman Paul Robitaille. Robitaille said the traffic backup through Conway both inhibits the number of travelers heading north and makes it difficult to bring in or send out products. He said travelers are kept from coming farther north because of the dense traffic. He added he’s heard that a lot of people just turn around. For companies sending products out of Coos County, he said it costs more because of the distance needed to
travel to Interstate 93 as opposed to traveling down Route 16. He added the same goes for any products or goods that are coming into Coos County. Robitaille said the bypass would allow companies to save on mileage and fuel costs to ship products. The bypass, said Robitaille, is critical to sustaining and promoting economic development in the area. “We really need to get that bypass,” said Robitaille. The resolution passed by the council and the Gorham Board of Selectmen mirrors the language of the resolution drafted by the North Country Council. In 1995, the N.H. Department of Transportation approved the nine-phase traffic-improvement project for Conway. Most of the early phases have been completed, including construction of North-South Road
and widening of portions of Route 16 in North Conway. The bypass was separated into three segments. The southern segment is still in the state’s 10-year plan, and schedule for completion is 2019. The central and northern sections are no longer in the 10-year plan. The idea for the resolution came out of a September 2010 meeting to discuss the proposed Conway bypass project. Those in attendance thought North Country Council should circulate the resolution and interested communities could pass it, according to the minutes of the September meeting. The minutes add that the passed resolutions would then be forwarded to state legislators and Executive Councilor Ray Burton.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Wednesday, March 2, 2011— Page 17
VACATION WEEK from page 14
Ryan Triffitt of Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center shared Perkins' outlook. “Vacation week was terrific. We had more kids than I've ever seen here. Just what we like. We're hoping it keeps up for the rest of the winter,” said Triffitt, noting that the resort will host its third Family Snow Day of the winter March 5. In addition to cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, Great Glen also operates a SnowCoach up the Mount Washington Auto Road, weather permitting, and a tubing park. Alpine areas had a strong Christmas week and now also a good February week. “Our business for this past vacation week was one of the strongest in our history when you add all the components together,” said Ben Wilcox, general manager of Cranmore Mountain Resort. He said Monday that the first vacation week was slightly better than last year's. which was also strong and which also enjoyed good weather. He attributed much of this year's success to the investment of more than $6 million in improvements made by the resort's new owners who bought the intown area in June. “The new children's center, the Mountain Coaster, the tubing park — it was all very strong. We were not up in skier visits, but we were in terms of total dollars,” said Wilcox. He said improvements that Cranmore's new owners made to the area's lift system also enhanced visitors' experience at Cranmore during the first vacation week. The new children's center at the retrofitted Arlberg base lodge also was well received. “Parents are telling us they love being able to drop off their kids for lessons at the Arlberg center and to get situated for the day. It's a comment we heard the most,” said Wilcox. Friday's snowstorm impacted business, but the second Saturday was the busiest day of the vacation week, Wilcox said. “Basically, we had three days which exceeded our past record days in terms of revenue,” said Wilcox. He expects this second vacation week to be less busy but says those who are coming are seeing great conditions after the recent storms. “We're making the goals we have set. If we have a strong March, this should be one of the best in a number of years, and a record for business growth, which would set us up well as we roll into our summer operations with the coaster, tubing park and adventure park,” said Wilcox. This second vacation week is not expected to be as strong as normal second weeks, but it will be better than a non-holiday week, Wilcox said. “It will be softer than what we have been used to in the past when most of New Hampshire had this week off, but we are running the tubing and the coaster every day because it is a vacation week. We get a lot of business from the Seacoast, and they have this week off, so we are hoping that will be good for us,” said Wilcox. His positive outlook was shared by Dan Houde, marketing director at King Pine Ski Area/Purity Spring
Resort in East Madison, and Melissa Rock of Shawnee Peak in Bridgton, Maine. “With the exception of Friday when the storm came, week one of February vacation week was definitely strong, as most of the days were a bit better than last year, which was a good vacation week. But even the snow day on Friday was good, as many people came out to enjoy the new snow,” said Houde Monday. He said he had looked at New Hampshire school districts that have this second week off. “We found that there are 78 towns which will be enjoying this week off, including the New Hampshire Seacoast and Nashua,” said Houde. Tubing is being offered every day this week for visitors. Regular non-holiday rates and promotions are in effect, Houde said, offering vacationers greater value. Rock of Shawnee Peak agreed the week was not a record-breaker but was still very busy. She said the only downside is that because most of the districts in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts all had the same week off, this week will be softer. “By combining them, last week was extremely busy, instead of it stretching to two weeks. It is what it is, but we do have people around this week. It's just that normally, we have our mountainside condos all booked for this second week, and although they were all booked last week, we still have some available this week,” said Rock. She said skier visits overall are on par with last season but she has seen an increase in children's ski school lessons and in food spending. A similar story was told by marketing director Jen McAleer of Black Mountain in Jackson. “Our parking lots were full, and we did a lot of learnto-ski lessons. We were jammed,” said McAleer of the popular family area. Despite the week's good weather which brought

people to the ski slopes and touring trails, people did come out to shop, according to Dot Seybold of Settlers' Green Outlet Village. “We stayed open until 9 p.m so people could enjoy the slopes and then come out and shop. There also were a few days of wind and cold, so that helped, too. It was busy,” said Seybold Monday. “We're seeing many Canadians and school groups from the British Isles this week as well. So that bodes well for the summer,” said Seybold Tuesday, as the second vacation week continued. Floor manager Paula Graham of Zeb's General Store in North Conway Village echoed Seybold's assessment. “It was a fabulous week. We were open until 9 p.m., and we could have been open until 10, as shoppers were knocking on the doors when we were closing,” said Graham Tuesday. “And, we're still busy this week with southern New Hampshire and the Seacoast [schools]— not as busy as last week, but busy,” said Graham. Restaurants on the whole also enjoyed strong weeks. “This week is definitely slower, especially with the storm on Monday, but because of the change in scheduling we knew that going in. But last week was very busy, and we wound up with our best February ever,” said Dick Delaney, of Delaney's Hole-in-the-Wall Restaurant of North Conway, and president of the Valley Originals Independent Restaurant Association. “We're seeing a lot of foreign visitors this week,” he added. Sarah Verney, visitor services director of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce, said lodging properties were busy for the first week. “I saw many 'No Vacancy’ signs out last week. I know many of our members have vacancies for this week, but we have been getting many calls here at the chamber from people after Monday's snow, asking where to ski and cross-country ski and how much snow we got,” said Verney.

Echo Group software gets government certification
CONWAY — The Echo Group’s Clinician’s Desktop™ electronic health record software has received the federal government’s “meaningful use” stamp of approval earning Complete EHR Ambulatory Certification. This designation officially deems Echo’s Clinician’s Desktop software capable of enabling providers to qualify for Meaningful Use funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Last week, Clinician’s Desktop was tested and certified under the Drummond Group's Electronic Health Records Office of the National Coordinator Authorized Testing and Certification Body program. Echo demonstrated the ability to perform all 34 of the required certification tests. Echo was able to pass all of the tests in one day, without any need for re-testing or follow-up testing dates. Clinician’s Desktop is now 2011/2012 compliant in accordance with the criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. “It was imperative for us to achieve complete certification early in the year, providing customers as much time as possible to execute internal strategies for pursuing American Recovery and Reinvestment Act dollars. There have been a lot of questions and misinformation about partial cer-
tification, complete certification, and the implications for behavioral health organizations. It’s clear that a completely certified EHR solution is the only path to Meaningful Use American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding and the only option for Echo to bring real value to our customers.” remarked Didi Owen, director of clinical engineering for The Echo Group. “As we worked to tune our product line to address certification requirements, our focus was also on maximizing ease of use. We believe that true Meaningful Use of an EHR will not be achieved unless the product is intuitive. This philosophy is at the core of Echo’s product design approach," continued Owen. Paul Kirsch, director of marketing at The Echo Group, said, “Our team completed the test in record time, demonstrating all requirements in seven hours. Echo’s easy-to-use products were important in this outcome, but it’s also a testament to our experience, expertise and insight into the needs of our customers and meaningful use.” Behavioral health and social service organizations that meet the criteria for Meaningful Use of a certified EHR can receive up to $63,750 per eligible provider, which can significantly reduce the cost of ownership.

Puppy Playgroup grows by leaps and bounds at Four Your Paws Only CONWAY — Just like a Great Dane puppy that gets bigger and bigger right before your eyes, Four Your Paws Only's Saturday Morning Puppy Playgroup has been growing by leaps and bounds. This popular, local canine hangout will now offer two doggie playgroups on Saturdays to accommodate this free service that is fun yet beneficial to dogs and their owners. "Several years ago we acknowledged the need for a safe place for puppies to continue socializing as they grew and developed both physically and emotionally," said Brian Ahearn, owner of Four Your Paws Only. "It is very important to socialize your puppy as much as possible before the critical socialization period ends between 12-16 weeks of age. Lack of socialization while puppies are young can often lead to behavior problems when they are older." Although it started as a puppy playgroup many years ago, more and more folks came to Four Your Paws Only with older dogs looking for a place where they could socialize their dogs as well. Knowing the importance of canine socialization, Ahearn and his staff never turned anyone down (unless they became too aggressive and unsafe to others). Now there is a regular following of dogs

who have been coming to playgroup since they were puppies that are very well socialized and are "very good canine citizens." "This is why we offer these services," said Ahearn. Over the last several months, Four Your Paws Only began seeing more and more dogs and puppies come to playgroup each week. In fact so many came that the playroom was divided in half to separate the

classes and monitors the playgroups at Four Your Paws Only. "It may take some time to sort out what group your dog or puppy will fit it, but in the end we'll have a safer, more productive
playgroup." Doggie Playgroups will continue to be held every Saturday at Four Your Paws Only unless there is an event at the store. The playgroups are free and open to the public. "We ask that you bring your dogs on a leash and be sure that they are up to date on their age-appropriate vaccinations," Ahearn said. "Sorry, no aggressive dogs." The new schedule is effective immediately and as follows: Smaller, Quieter Dog and Puppy Playgroup will run from 11 a.m. to noon. This playgroup is for dogs and puppies that are calmer, more reserved, a bit shy, or aren't quite ready for the higher energy of older, more rambunctious dogs and puppies. Larger, More Active Dog and Puppy Playgroup will run from noon to 1 p.m. This playgroup is for dogs and older puppies that are more outgoing, rambunctious, and/ or have higher energy. Four Your Paws Only is located on Route 16 in North Conway. For more information call 3567297 or visit www.fouryourpawsonly.com

By Holiday Mathis the energy firsthand and make your decisions based on that alone. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be able to feel the force of goodness at work in your life. It’s comforting to realize that this is something that’s bigger than you -- bigger than any individual on the planet. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re headed for an awe-inspiring encounter. You don’t have to go out of your way to find it, either. All you have to do is shift your perspective. Everything around you is miraculous if you choose to see it that way. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your experiences will shape you. Whoever you are at the start of the day, you’ll be someone different at the end of the day. The changes will be subtle yet undeniable. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be offered a gift that will test your grace. You can resist the gift because it makes you feel flustered and unworthy. Or you can simply smile and accept it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There is much to appreciate around you. You’ve seen it before, but you’ll notice it in a new way today. Dare to be excited. Enthusiasm is the nectar of the gods. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 2). Your talents will be recognized and celebrated. The next 10 weeks will boost your social status -- one relationship will be particularly fulfilling. You’ll travel in style in May. You’ll be in a position to help loved ones in June. July features increased self-discipline. Wedding bells ring in September. You share a special connection with Gemini and Libra people. Your lucky numbers are: 16, 33, 2, 15 and 46.
Get Fuzzy
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You really don’t feel that you have to beat anyone else in order to win at life. Since you don’t have any worries about being inferior or superior to anyone, you treat everyone as an equal and are accepted by all you meet. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll observe others without feeling the need to judge them. It’s not because you’re trying to be a saint, but because you realize that non-judgment allows you to see and know more about the way things really are. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It will feel as though you can communicate with the elements. The ancient Egyptians believed everything was alive, including the rocks and the rivers. You’ll relate to the world as though this is true today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll meet a potential friend. This one is a true kindred spirit and requires you to be nothing other than who you are. You won’t need to promote yourself or put on any kind of affectation. You’re perfect “as-is.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is little room for compromise in some of your relationships, and this causes stress for you today. Luckily, you have a heavenly place in your own mind where you can go when you need relief and relaxation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Changes are on the way. Go with what feels right. There is an idea unfolding in your life that will, once completely unfurled, transform your environment and your schedule. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have an eye for the immaterial.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Wednesday, March 2, 2011— Page 23
Today is Wednesday, March 2, the 61st day of 2011. There are 304 days left in the year. Today’s Highlights in History: On March 2, 1861, the state of Texas, having seceded from the Union, was admitted to the Confederacy. The Territory of Nevada came into existence under an act signed by President James Buchanan. On this date: In 1793, the first president of the Republic of Texas, Sam Houston, was born near Lexington, Va. In 1836, the Republic of Texas formally declared its independence from Mexico. In 1877, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was declared the winner of the 1876 presidential election over Democrat Samuel J. Tilden, even though Tilden had won the popular vote. In 1899, Mount Rainier National Park in Washington state was established. In 1917, Puerto Ricans were granted U.S. citizenship as President Woodrow Wilson signed the Jones-Shafroth Act. In 1943, the World War II Battle of the Bismarck Sea began; U.S. and Australian warplanes were able to inflict heavy damage on a Japanese convoy. In 1977, the U.S. House of Representatives adopted a strict code of ethics. In 1989, representatives from the 12 European Community nations agreed to ban all production of CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbons) by the end of the 20th century. In 1990, more than 6,000 drivers went on strike against Greyhound Lines Inc. (The company, later declaring an impasse in negotiations, fired the strikers.) One year ago: Authorities in San Diego County found the body of 17-year-old Chelsea King, who’d been missing since Feb. 25, 2010. (John Albert Gardner III later pleaded guilty to raping and murdering King and another victim, 14-year-old Amber Dubois; he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.) Today’s Birthdays: Actor John Cullum is 81. Author Tom Wolfe is 81. Former Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev is 80. Actress Barbara Luna is 72. Actor Jon Finch is 70. Author John Irving is 69. Singer Lou Reed is 69. Actress Cassie Yates is 60. Actress Laraine Newman is 59. Former Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., is 58. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is 56. Singer Jay Osmond is 56. Pop musician John Cowsill (The Cowsills) is 55. Tennis player Kevin Curren is 53. Country singer Larry Stewart (Restless Heart) is 52. Rock singer Jon Bon Jovi is 49. Blues singer-musician Alvin Youngblood Hart is 48. Actor Daniel Craig is 43. Rock musician Casey (Jimmie’s Chicken Shack) is 35. Rock singer Chris Martin (Coldplay) is 34. Actress Heather McComb is 34. Actress Bryce Dallas Howard is 30. NFL quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is 29.

Mobile Homes by Abigail Van Buren
NEIGHBORS’ NIGHTLY WATER SHOW IS BEGINNING TO MAKE WAVES
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I moved into our first home two years ago. A few months after that, our lives got even better with the addition of our son. After living here for a while, we noticed that the neighbors behind us have a large window in their shower, and they tend to take a lot of nighttime showers. (I’m sure you can see where this is heading.) For a long time, we chose to ignore it, but my motherly instincts are getting the better of me now. I can’t help thinking of the day when my son is old enough to realize what he’s seeing. My husband and I have been debating whether to tell our neighbors we can see them showering. Sometimes they get pretty carried away in there. Should I tell them we can see everything? And if so, how do I go about it without causing them to be embarrassed, ashamed or angry? -- GETTING AN EYEFUL IN OHIO DEAR GETTING AN EYEFUL: Another shower letter! Write your neighbors a polite note telling them there is a clear view into their shower when their lights are on at night. Explain that before your son was born this was not of concern to you, but now that you have a small child, you would appreciate it if they would work with you on a solution to this problem. They may not be aware they’ve been putting on an X-rated show. DEAR ABBY: I have worked in the same office for more than a decade. Last year I returned to school in an effort to finally get into a field where I can earn more money. I will graduate next spring and, hopefully, will begin a new career. I need your advice about how to approach my boss when
the time comes. This is a very small office and, while I wouldn’t call us friends, we probably have a closer relationship than most people in a larger office would have. Any thoughts on the best way to approach this? -- GIVING NOTICE ON THE EAST COAST DEAR GIVING NOTICE: Because you have been in school for the length of time you have, your announcement will probably not come as much of a surprise to your employer. However, before you give notice, be sure you have another job in place. When you do speak to your employer, thank him or her for your job. Explain that you are ready to start in your new field and offer to spend a few weeks training your replacement to make any transition easier. DEAR ABBY: My husband recently had major surgery. I wanted to call a few close friends and family members beforehand to let them know. When I told my husband, we had an argument. He felt they would feel obligated to respond. I felt it would be nice for both of us to have support and that they would want to know. As it turned out, I made some calls and we did receive some much-needed support. Was I wrong to do this? (My husband wants your opinion on the matter.) -- GRATEFUL FOR HELPING HANDS IN COLORADO DEAR GRATEFUL: The prospect of major surgery can be frightening -- both for the patient and the spouse. Your husband may have preferred to downplay it because he was afraid broadcasting it was displaying weakness. You obviously found the prospect traumatic and didn’t want to be alone at that time. Was it wrong to ask for help? I don’t think so. My advice to your husband is to lighten up and get well soon.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Wednesday, March 2, 2011— Page 27
Kennett host Kingswood in hoop finale today
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — The Kennett High boys basketball team will close the book on the season this evening when it hosts arch-rival Kingswood at The Nest at 6:30 p.m. It will be Senior Night for the Eagles when Matt Lautenschlager, Brian Fox and Jacob Lyman are honored for their commitment to the program over the years. The Eagles enter the finale 1-16 while the Knights come to town 8-9 and having secured a playoff berth in the Sweet 16. Despite the record, KHS Coach Steve Cote has been impressed with the commitment, work ethic and attitude of his troops. “Our guys are still playing as hard as they can,” he said. “We’re just not very deep or very experienced. … I think any team would have struggled with the last four teams we’ve played. Oyster River (10-6), Pembroke (15-2), Portsmouth (13-3), and Coe-Brown (11-5) are all in the top 10 in Division II and are very good programs. Coe-Brown was probably one of the hottest teams in our division having won eight of their last 10, including upsetting Portsmouth right before playing us. “… If there’s been a bright spot,” Cote continued, “we’ve been able to give some of our younger guys additional playing time and we’ve been able to experiment a bit. Against Coe-Brown we were able to move Alex Milford from the point to the two (guard) which is a more natural position for him, and get Thomas Loynd time at the point. Thomas is growing into that role and becoming more and more comfortable. I think Alex is in his comfort zone at the two. The Eagles fell to Oyster River 60-39; to Pembroke, 70-25; Portsmouth, 77-22; to Coe-Brown, 63-25. “We knew exactly what Coe-Brown was going to do,” Cote said of last Tuesday’s opponent. “I thought we did a nice job of breaking their pressure, but unfortunately we couldn’t put the ball in the hole. We haven’t done a good job of finishing lately. Coe-Brown is a really good shooting team. They also had a couple of kids who were good on the boards.” The Eagles were led offensively by Matt Lautenschlager, who had eight points. Milford added five; Robert Starkey, three; Loynd, three; Fox, two; and Ryan Vajentic, two.
“This team still has a fantastic attitude. I don’t think anyone has packed it in on the season. We had practice at 10 a.m. on Sunday. I got there at 9 a.m. to get ready and there were two guys waiting there for me. I think everyone on the team was there 40 minutes early.” Kennett dropped its last road contest Thursday night at Laconia, 45-29. The two teams were deadlocked at 17 at the half, but the Sachems went on a 17-7 run to open up some breathing room in the third quarter and never looked back. Babacar Kamara led all scorers on the night tossing in 23 for Laconia. “We were very concerned about Kamara,” Cote said. “He’s physical. He’s a tough match-up for us. We really tried to contain his dibble drive, and he got off a couple of times late and kind of put the game away.” The Eagles were led offensively by Milford, who had 10 points while Matt Lautenschlager added nine points; Nate Ela, three; Michael Lautenschlager, two; Brian Fox, two; Thomas Loynd, two; and Sean Perley, one. “This team still has a fantastic attitude,” Cote said. “I don’t think anyone has packed it in on the season. We had practice at 10 a.m. on Sunday. I got there at 9 a.m. to get ready and there were two guys waiting there for me. I think everyone on the team was there 40 minutes early. “They still have a desire to be together,” he continued. “The record may not show it but they’re definitely much better ball players then when they started practice Nov. 30. We only had four letter winners on the team and Matt Lautenschlager was the only one who played significant minutes last year. We have a lot of youth and enthusiasm on this team.” The Division II boys basketball tournament will tip-off next Wednesday will the preliminary round at the site of the higher seeds. The quarterfinals, which will also be at the site of the higher remaining seed, are slated for March 12. The semifinals and finals will be held at the University of New Hampshire on March 16 and 19, weather permitting.
