Article to bar town officials from hiring relatives is skipped over BY DAYMOND STEER
TAMWORTH — At annual town meeting, a lame duck selectman saved the day for the Mental Health Center which didn’t file its funding request on time for the warrant. Voters passed everything except a funding request from a faithbased organization.

MADISON — Road agent Billy Chick Sr. seemed to have the luck of the Irish during Saturday’s annual town meeting, which fell on Saint Patrick’s Day. A group of the road agent’s critics failed to convince residents to pass any of their four petitioned warrant articles. If passed, Article 26 would have made the position of road agent appointed rather than elected. After some debate, Article 26 failed by
a secret ballot vote, 93-48. Article 26 would have gone into effect next year had it passed. Earlier this month, Chick ran unopposed for another three-year term. Chick was first elected road agent about 23 years ago. Advisory budget committee member Dick Eldridge supported this article because it would allow the selectmen to hire from out of town. Elected road agents must live in town, he said. Resident Jeff Balogh spoke in favor of Article 26 because he believes the structure of having see MADISON page 9

JACKSON — Following nearly an hour of discussion, Jackson voters by a standing vote approved Article 5, which recommended that selectmen continue to enforce the state building code as it does now. The show of support for petitioned Article 5 was mixed but moderator Willis Kelley said, “I declare the article as approved” at 8:28 p.m. during the meeting, which got under way at the Whitney Community Center at 7 p.m. Heated discussion also arose on Article 6 concerning the town’s new proposed contract with the town of Bartlett regarding the see JACKSON page 11

A plunge to the deep end of the planet (NY Times) — For centuries, the daredevils known as submariners have slipped beneath the waves in vehicles made for horizontal travel. Until now. In a stroke, James Cameron has upended the field — literally and figuratively. A man known for imaginative films (“Titanic,” “Avatar”), he has reinvented the way that people explore the deep ocean.This month, Cameron unveiled his unique submersible and announced plans to ride it solo into the planet’s deepest recess, the Challenger Deep in the western Pacific, nearly seven miles down. He calls it a vertical torpedo. The axis of his 24-footlong craft is upright rather than horizontal, speeding the plunge. His goal is to fall and rise as quickly as possible so he can maximize his time investigating the dark seabed. He wants to prowl the bottom for six hours. “It’s very clever,” said Alfred S. McLaren, a retired Navy submariner who helps to run a company that makes submersibles. “Nobody has done this kind of thing before. It’s a great idea.” Just as bullets are spun to steady their flight, Cameron’s craft rotates on its vertical axis — another first. In a test dive, he has already broken the modern depth record for piloted vehicles, going down more than five miles.

Gender gap persists in cost of health insurance

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — A classified war simulation exercise held this month to assess the American military’s capabilities to respond to an Israeli attack on Iran forecast that the strike would lead to a wider regional war, which could draw in the United States and leave hundreds of Americans dead, according to American officials. The officials said the so-called war game was not designed as a rehearsal for American military
action — and they emphasized that the exercise’s results were not the only possible outcome of a real-world conflict. But the game has raised fears among top American planners that it may be impossible to preclude American involvement in any escalating confrontation with Iran, the officials said. In the debate among policymakers over the consequences of any possible Israeli attack, that reaction may give stronger voice to those within the White House,
Pentagon and intelligence community who have warned that a strike could prove perilous for the United States. When the exercise had concluded earlier this month, according to the officials, Gen. James N. Mattis, who commands all American forces in the Middle East, Persian Gulf and Southwest Asia, told aides that an Israeli first-strike would likely have dire consequences across the region and for United States forces there.
New details emerge of a Chinese leader’s removal
BEIJING (NY Times) — Communist Party leaders sacked Bo Xilai, the powerful party chief of metropolitan Chongqing, after being told that he had schemed to remove his police chief and impede a corruption investigation involving his family, according to a preliminary report on Bo’s actions circulated among government officials. A leaked version of the report provides the first detailed look at events that have unleashed a political earthquake in China’s leadership ranks as officials prepare for a transfer of power to a new generation of party leaders. And it states for the first
time that the Chongqing police chief who triggered that earthquake — Mr. Bo’s trusted aide, Wang Lijun — had sought political asylum when he fled to at a United States consulate to escape Bo’s wrath. The Communist Party Central Committee circulated the findings on Friday, one day after the announcement of Bo’s dismissal, and a transcript quickly was leaked online. Its contents were confirmed by a researcher at a ministry-level government institute and by a Chongqing official briefed by colleagues who were present when the report was read at a government meeting.
WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Women still pay more than men for the same health insurance coverage, according to new research and data from online brokers. The new health care law will prohibit such “gender rating,” starting in 2014. But gaps persist in most states, with no evidence that insurers have taken steps to reduce them. For a popular Blue Cross Blue Shield plan in Chicago, a 30-yearold woman pays $375 a month, which is 31 percent more than what a man of the same age pays for the same coverage, according to eHealthInsurance.com, a leading online source of health insurance. In a report to be issued this week, the National Women’s Law Center, a research and advocacy group, says that in states that have not banned gender rating, more than 90 percent of the best-selling health plans charge women more than men.

Failed doomsday prophet apologizes to God BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
OSSIPEE — The man responsible for last spring’s Judgment Day campaign now admits he was wrong and is apologizing to God. At the beginning of last year, a large billboard on Route 16 announced God’s Judgment Day would take place on May 21. Other signs, like the one in Ossipee, appeared all around the world. The prediction came from Harold Camping who preaches on his Californiabased organization called Family Radio. Camping’s bold message became an international news story. Local pastors rebuked Camping’s claim in The Conway Daily Sun.
Bartlett town meeting
When nothing happened in May, Camping issued a new prediction of Judgment Day on Oct. 21. This March, Family Radio’s board posted a letter from Camping stating he was wrong to predict the end of the world. Camping writes he won’t be doing any more doomsday forecasting in the future. “We were even so bold as to insist that the Bible guaranteed that Christ would return on May 21 and that the true believers would be raptured,” wrote Camping. “Yet this incorrect and sinful statement allowed God to get the attention of a great many people who otherwise would not have paid attention.” Camping is confident God will forgive “even this sin.”
The voters at Thrusday’s Bartlett town meeting approved every article on the 2012 warrant without significant debate last Thursday. The meeting was over in an hour and a half. More than 100 people were in attendance. Here a resident addresses selectmen Gene Chandler, Doug Garland and David Patch. (ERIK EISELE PHOTO)
Selectmen split on police article BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Selectmen on Tuesday unanimously supported the amended town budget, but the board showed less favor to a police department warrant article looking for federal funding for an additional officer. The warrant article article in question will ask the voters for permission to accept a U.S. Department of Justice grant that if awarded to Conway will pay part of an officer’s salary and benefit expenses so long as the town agrees to pay for the officer the fourth year. The warrant article underwent significant changes at the deliberative meeting after the police commission learned the grant had changed from last year, when it covered the entire cost of the officer for the first three years. Now the total payout is capped at $125,000, and the town must hire a military veteran who served active duty since September 11, 2001.
The police commission has proposed splitting the grant equally over the three years if Conway is a recipient. That would give the town $41,666 per year, leaving the town with roughly $50,000 per year to cover. Those changes caused one selectman, Crow Dickinson, to switch his support to opposition. “It was originally a different deal entirely,” he said. As it was he could support it, but the with the changes it would cost too much. Dickinson joined chairman David Weather, the sole opposition to the original article, in voting against the revised article. “I can’t support that where this is the second officer,” Weathers said. There is another article on the ballot asking voters to foot the full cost of a new police officer. That article received unanimous support from the selectman. see POLICE page 9

David M. Toumarkine
David M. Toumarkine, born July 31, 1943 in Wilmington, Del., passed away on March 14, 2012, in North Conway. He grew up in Wilmington, spending summers in Freedom at Camp Robin Hood where he first fell in love with the Mount Washington area. David earned his bachelors at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and then went on to complete his masters in English literature at the University of Wisconsin. Upon completing his education he entered the Peace Corps. David spent time overseas working at a leprosarium in the Philippines. After completing his commitment to the Peace Corps he headed to Billings, Mont. where he taught English at Eastern Montana College. He spent his summers creating pottery and eventually opened his first shop in Cooke City, Mont. that was called Penguin Pottery. Realizing that Cooke City might not have been the best of places to put down his roots he decided to chase his childhood dream and returned to New Hampshire. In 1972 David moved to the valley where he owned and operated The Penguin gift shop. The Penguin sold items that David thought would bring joy or humor into people’s lives. His sense of style and taste was reflected in the spectacular variety of mer-
chandise he sold in his store. David was ahead of everyone’s curve, not just the valley’s. Towards the end of his ownership of the Penguin, David began to re-visit his love for pottery. In 2006 he sold the Penguin so he could focus solely on his craft. When he wasn’t at his studio in Freedom, he spent a lot of his time traveling with his dog, Magic. He and Magic often found their adventures headed in the direction of the two most important people in his life: his sons, Conor and Danny. David was selflessly devoted to those he loved. He recognized the talents and strengths in everyone he cared for and encouraged them to excel. His thoughtful insights, intellect and wit will be very much missed. He possessed a wide variety of interests including: reading, sailing, growing his beard, scuba diving, skiing, traveling, fly fishing, protecting the integrity of his man purse, camping, taking baths (debating whether the “and” or “comma” was more appropriate for the ending of a list in a sentence) and wind surfing. David was predeceased by his parents, Sadie and Sol, and is survived by sister Elaine Bermas and sons, Conor and Danny Toumarkine. A celebration of his life will be held later this spring.

Info about to Obama’s education sealed To the editor: Nobody asked me, but, I’m still wondering why an admitted lifelong Christian would change his name from Barry Soetoro to Barack Hussein Obama. In fact, nobody but the head donkey himself of the jackass party knows for sure when he was smitten with the light of Islam and denounced his Christian name. Speculation surmises that young Barry, a free-spirited pothead (by his own admission) at Occidental College, might have dabbled with the true meaning of life and left the hallowed halls of learning a different man. “Urban Legends” can neither confirm nor deny this speculation. However, one thing is certain: His alleged attendance at Columbia University and Harvard Law school, along with his grade point averages and how he
was accepted (being nothing more than a C student at O.C. and not even knowing if he graduated) are taboo to the public. Yup, all info pertainining to Barry’s educational background are sealed up tighter than a virgin on Good Friday. If you aren’t nauseated by the chosen one’s neverending apologies to Taliban and Al Qaeda savages for minor infractions, or his European apology for American arrogance, or his stupid asinine remarks about “the white Cambridge police acting stupidly”, or his totally insane imbecilic reply (We mustn’t jump to conclusions) when a Muslim Major massacred 13 U.S. servicemen while shouting “Allah Akbar, if you aren’t sickened by this miscreant’s actions, then you too must be an ugly American.

Tele-Talk
Do you support a $166,794 article for full-day kindergarten in Conway? There were 37 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question: “Do you support a $166,794 article for fullday kindergarten in Conway? Why or why not?” Twenty-one people said they would support the article; 17 said they would not. No. I’m a teacher. Young children can learn best in the morning. Afternoons are basically nothing more than baby sitting. Unless the town wants to be in competition with private enterprise don’t push full-day kindergarten on the taxpayers. I do not support spending money on full day kindergarten. Did we not just cut teachers in all the schools last year? There are several schools that would benefit by having their staffing restored to prior levels. Valuable programs have also been cut recently and not yet restored, and now we want to spend money on something new? Children with special needs should be and are, under the law, properly educated from the age of 3, with or without fullday kindergarten. We provide them education, legally, from the age of 3 — and even earlier than that through the early intervention services that are available through the state, from birth to 3. To state that parents of preschoolers are incapable of properly preparing kids to be kindergarten or first grade ready seems preposterous. To state that some parents are unwilling or unable to make children kindergarten or first grade ready is more accurate. Overall, kids should get to be kids and nothing facilitates learning more than an active, happy and full childhood — that should not be cut short. Yes, we should vote for all-day kindergarten. Look at the Bartlett kids and how much in front they are ahead of all of the Conway kids, just from things like full-day kindergarten. The money is well worth it. It’s easier on families. It’s very difficult when you split up the day for families to arrange child care. It’s just an archaic thing and it’s time for all-day kindergarten. I think the only way this should be financed is if all school employees, if they really want this to happen, take a 1 percent pay cut and all these expenses could be covered. The other troubling thing is this is an estimate and things always wind up with the town of Conway costing 50 to 100 percent more. So in the contract it should say that if this is passed, if it costs one cent more than initially advertised, it goes back to a half-day kindergarten. And finally, the teachers union, which has donated millions to Barry Obama — why doesn’t the head of the teachers union in Conway call the White House and ask them for this money. After all, they voted for this guy, let’s get something back for our money. And finally with the huge taxes that this president will place upon us in the upcoming year will be so high we cannot afford 1 percent more per thousand on anything. They’re 6 and 7; you really need to think about their short attention spans and the fact that they’d be
in school six or seven hours. I really think it’s a bad idea. We should stick with half-day kindergarten and everybody would be happier. I do not support a full-day kindergarten at a cost of $166,794 — or any other cost. The budget committee, of which I am a member, has no say on where money is spent. If the budget committee can affect the bottom line only and must be supported by all the Conway voters to be effective. Twelve cents per thousand of property value raises the bottom line, just the same way as money for a new non-profit such as Carroll County Transit (Article 24) or Community Legal Services incorporated (Article 32) will raise the bottom line if passed. For a town, a county, a state, or a country called the U.S. to get on the same downhill track that Greece and many other countries around the world are on is a guaranteed one-way trip to total disaster. The United States is already on this downhill track and it better bite the bullet immediately. Douglas M. Swett, East Conway Fire Precinct rep to the Conway Budget Committee. No we do not support full-day kindergarten in Conway. Look at the picture above the question and you’ll see why — the kids are totally bored at that age anyway and a half day would be more than enough, especially when you’re paying $54,000 for the three teachers. Give me a break. This is Dick from Birch Hill. I absolutely support the full-day kindergarten article that’s coming up on the school budget in April, I believe that our youngest children in the valley need to have the most support and all the advantages they can have for their education. We give so much to our older students through sports and special activities. But let’s really give the support and extra time, the instructional time and the extra advantage to our younger children. So that’s why I support the full-day kindergarten. I’m also retired and I’m on a limited income and I want my tax dollars to go to school programs for our kindergarten students, our youngest students. I’m absolutely, 100 percent for the full-day kindergarten. I’m from North Conway. My name is Bob. I’m from North Conway and I do not support the article because I think a half a day only of kindergarten is needed. I’m calling from Albany. I’m a 47-year-old, white female, and I know kindergarten was always a half day. And this $166,794 is way too much. You have to think of the children. A half day of getting knowledge is enough for them. The best knowledge is getting outside and playing and interacting with other kids. And these principals that want all this money — and a lot of it has an effect on the parents —a lot of them are unemployed and they just want to roam around and do their own thing and drop the kids off at school. Are they really thinking the best intentions for the children’s education? A whole day in school? Look at the picture in the review: One kid is already
bored; you can see him hanging his head. The whole day is not even worth it because after just half a day these kids just want to get out and play and that’s the best way — to socialize and interact with the other children. It’s not all about studying. Why take their childhood away? And then to ask the money you’re asking for? Let’s be real. They are our future, but if they are our future, we have to learn to deal with the comity. You can’t hold them away in school. They’re young, but they’re soon to be in first grade. Kindergarten, doing a full day? No. You’re wasting your time, your effort, you’re money. You’re just taking their dignity away to force feed them education to hope for our new future? Well if we have a new future, you cannot force feed. You can see how these kids are not even paying attention. Half a day is great for them. Let them enjoy the rest of the day. They’re too young; this is not the military. Let’s let them live their lives. I do not support full-day kindergarten. I do not support my taxes going up again. They’re already too high. No I don’t support the money for a full-day kindergarten, although I think full-day kindergarten is a great idea. I don’t fee that it’s right that it was done as a warrant article, both because it is unfair to the other towns and also because it increases the budget from being a slight reduction over last year’s to being much higher — that along with the other warrant article for a fourth team of teachers. No. I think that it should be reconsidered and possibly done as an optional program, where parents can opt whether to send their kids and maybe have it started as a program in one school for the first year, and see how it goes; see if the parents want it. See what the results are. And that would also give us an opportunity to incorporate our special needs kids that would benefit from it. I believe that another reason that it might end up costing a lot more is that the special needs kids would require special services which could probably not be accommodated without additional staff. So the saving that some were talking about are probably not there and might end up costing more than projected. I’m from Conway. I absolutely do support the fullday kindergarten in Conway and all the Conways, actually. It’s been a long time coming. Let’s get on board with the 21st century. Our students deserve the best that we can offer them. Let’s offer them all that they need — especially time. All-day kindergarten should not be paid for by the taxpayers. Taxpayers are legally responsible for grades 1 to 12; period! I don’t know if it’s even legal to make this request of the taxpayers. Taxpayers don’t pay for college tuition, nor should they pay for all-day kindergarten. If a family wants their child to attend all-day kindergarten, they should seek out a private school that provides it, and pay for it themselves. I am
not against schooling at this level, but it is not something the public school system or taxpayers should be involved in whatsoever. The community I raised my son in did not provide publicly-funded, all-day kindergarten, but I sent him to a private all-day kindergarten school; and worked three jobs to pay for it along with his 12 years of private schooling! Voters, please vote down this nonsense. You are not responsible for schooling at this level. You do more than enough! Shame on the school board; once again! I believe that this will not help the children. A half day of school is just as good as a full day. However it will give the idle housewife of these children a whole day to waste at Settlers Green instead of the half day they waste now. Keep the children with there parents as much as possible, not spending their lives with strange teachers. A half day is enough. The kiddies don’t need it. The money should be spent to hire more Conway cops. If we don’t, the town will soon be overrun by drug addicts, drunks, perverts, dirtbags and other assorted losers. All day kindergarten is simply another way for those on welfare to get free babysitting at the taxpayer’s expense. Conway does not need it. Disgusted. I say no. I am hard put to pay my taxes as it is, I can’t see adding this too. Please fix the roads first. The following Tele-Talk responses were posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page: Not my problem. I don’t live in Conway but I would support it if I did. Yes. My son went two years ago and my daughter this year and I think the all-day kindergarten makes a big difference in the kids’ learning. With only a half day, which is three hours or so, they hardly have any time to learn after they have their special classes. They only get something like 35-40 minutes with the teacher who teaches them their math, etc. This way they have hours to learn and hours for special. I fully support this program and the $166,794 article. Absolutely! Both of my girls went for a half day. Why bother with 2 1/2 hours of school? How much is really getting accomplished by the time they start the day and have snack and recess? Statistics have also proven that children who attend a full day in kindergarten are ahead of the game come first grade. Yes. It is a very small price to pay for extended education. We are fighting the same battle in Madison which was voted down 199201! I support it and highly recommend it! Kids are ready for this. I wish people would stop fighting this and realize our kids are missing out on a better education. see TELE-TALK page 8

Absolutely. Conway-area kindergarten teachers have done their best with what they are given for time. Three of my boys had Robin Waters at Pine Tree and she was amazing with what she could do in that time. Imagine how much more amazing it would be if children and teachers had a full day? This is one of the most worthwhile investments I could think of and hope it goes through for my next two sons who are waiting. Several months ago, the Albany School Board voted to support full-day kindergarten in Conway. The town pays tuition to send its students there. Yes! Yes! Children need a full day of kindergarten! I want to see full-day kindergarten in all the schools. Not only from the great benefit the child will receive in a great education but also I can see benefits for parents as well, allowing them to have the possibility of better hours at work and potential savings in child care as well. It’s long overdue. Why does Madison not surprise me? Too many towns like that in Carroll County. And they wonder why so many people move away permanently after high school. Why would most young people want to stay where their own community won’t invest in them? Pathetic. Maybe give a choice. All-day kindergarten or reappraisal of your property. I guarantee all those folks whose properties haven’t been reappraised in the last 30 or more years would be paying money out-of-pocket for an all-day kindergarten. I used to know of properties in a certain village that hadn’t been reappraised in over 50 years and paid well under $100 a year in property taxes. My daughter attended full-day kindergarten in Bartlett for half the year, then switched to Conway School District and finished the year with half day. She was so bored (especially after having two full years of full day pre-
school in Bartlett) and the schedule was very hard for me as a working parent. Full day was of great benefit to her and it shows in her academics now, in second grade. She also got to start skiing in kindergarten which was great! I am completely supportive and hope by the time my son is school age, he too will experience full day. Yes, full-day kindergarten. Anything less is not a total commitment to our future generation. Biggest regret of my life, sending my son to pre-school and full-day kindergarten. Kids should be home; they learn the most from their parents. Half day is plenty — especially kids from broken homes. The cost is 12 cents per $1,000, that is a small price to pay for more than 600 hours of education, Jackson and Bartlett have full-day kindergarten; they are part of SAU 9. Bartlett (Jackson) eighth graders have some of the best test scores in the state! Coincidence? Maybe. Should your zip code mean your kids don’t get equity in education? Don’t let “I didn’t have it when I was a kid and I am OK” be the reason you don’t support full day kindergarten. We should be making things better for our kids. Please get the vote out in April! I think full-day kindergarten is much needed up here. I had to quit my full-time job the year my son started kindergarten because I had just moved here and didn’t know of anyone to take him to a day care. I am a single mom and it was really tough. Plus my son said it was such a short day, he would of loved to learn more and have more social activities. Yes, yes, yes. Small price to pay for an early start! Yes. School is basically just day care. That’s why we home-school. On the other hand, I can think of worse things that our tax money can go to, so I wouldn’t mind paying for this if it helps some people out. Not everyone is in a position to home-school.
THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Tuesday, March 20, 2012— Page 9
POLICE from page 3
Selectmen Michael DiGregorio and Mary Seavey, meanwhile, both supported town-funded officer and going after the grant. The police department has made a good case that is is short of officers, DiGregorio said. “I think we need it.” “I feel exactly like Mike does,” Seavey said. “I truly believe the second officer is needed.” Larry Martin was absent, so the 2-2 split means the selectmen do not support the new version of the article, and the ballot in April will say so. The selectmen’s opposition to the grant-funded office article while simultaneously supporting the officer paid for through tax dollars makes sense, DiGregorio said, because there is no guarantee the department will get the grant. If the selectmen want to be sure the town gets one additional officer, he said, the town is going to have to pay for that officer. The budget committee supported the grant article by a vote of 10-3. The increased the overall budget, meanwhile, sailed through the selectboard. Voters added $96,398 to the town’s $9.1 million budget at the deliberative meeting, reinstating 100 percent of the cut to the library made by the budget committee, roughly one-third of the cut made to the police department, and adding money for salt, fuel and streetlights. The selectmen were unanimous in their support, where the budget committee voted 9-4 in favor. The final decision on both, however, will come down to the voters’ choice on April 10.

an elected road agent is inefficient. “I would like to go to one place where the buck stops,” said Balogh. “I’ve had problems in the past where I’ve been ping-pong balled between the two organizations.” Lead petitioner Bob King said the town has had to hire various people and create committees over the years because the road agent couldn’t handle all the responsibility by himself. “There’s been a decades-long struggle to try and have a better highway department and the voters have not understood this, they have not read between the lines and have been rejecting these efforts by the selectmen,” said King. Another man described having a positive experience with the road agent. The man said he asked the highway department to fix a problem and it did. Michael Veilleux opposed Article 26. He spoke about the separation of powers in town government. “We have the legislative body, which is us,” said Veilleux. “I do not want to give up...that decision-making process (electing the road agent).” Noreen Downs said it was necessary for the selectmen to create the solid waste committee because Chick wouldn’t have time to do in-depth analysis of transfer station management. Chick said he’s elected to maintain the roads but over the years the selectmen have added more responsibilities like managing the transfer station. Chick also thanked voters for electing him to another term. “If you want this to be an elected official’s job, turn around and vote yes keep it elected because if you vote it to be appointed you’re putting it in two hands over there,” said Chick making reference to a majority of selectmen.
TAMWORTH from page one
At the very end of the meeting, when residents were asked to transact any other legal business to come before them, Dr. Melissa Myers, who was acting on
Apparently, Chick misspoke because voting “yes” on Article 26 would have made the road agent an appointed position rather than keeping it elected. King also launched Article 30 which would bar town officials from hiring or promoting family members who are seeking employment with the town. King filed Article 30 after Chick hired two of his sons to work at the highway department. Article 30 is based on state law and a policy used in another town, said King. “(The article is) to make it clear that an instance of nepotism so crass and gross that there would be a father and two sons in the same five-man section of the highway department that this is not a model we should be following in our departments,” said King. Resident Marc Ohlson made a motion to pass over Article 30 but moderator George Epstein wouldn’t accept it. “It is not a good idea to pass over those things (warrant articles) and leave them hanging without a resolution,” said Epstein. Voters overruled the moderator and the article was skipped. Voters also decided to skip two other petition warrant articles that King led. If passed, Article 27 would have directed selectmen to assert their authority over the highway department and Article 28 would have called on the residents not to approve any more road projects until the highway department’s alleged “incompetencies” and “dysfunctions” are addressed. Earlier in the meeting, residents approved plowing a half-mile portion of Lead Mine Road so long as the Veilleux family agrees to pay for whatever improvements are needed to bring the road up to the town’s standards for plowing. That decision was made by a secret ballot vote of 102-55. For years, residents have debated
whether or not the town needs to plow six-tenths of a mile stretch to accommodate Mike and Donna Veilleux. That section of Lead Mine Road has historically never been plowed in the winter and it had been designated a highway to summer cottages in 2007. The Veilleux family recently completed a year-around home on the road. They say they had a building permit before the road’s designation changed to a highway to summer cottages. Epstein explained there was considerable differences of opinion as to how much work the Veilleux must do. “Mr. Chick says he can plow it as it is and Mr. King says you have to cut down pretty much the equivalent of an old growth forest,” said Epstein. “I have no idea what needs to be done.” The town’s operating budget passed with an amendment to add $20,000 which brought the approved total to $2,194,346. Last year voters approved a budget of $2,225,038 and the town actually spent $1,997,857. Selectmen were asked why they requested a substantial amount more than they actually spent last year. That was especially apparent on the personnel administration line because selectmen actually spent $328,660 in 2011 but were asking for $410,778. Selectman Michael Brooks replied there were big increases on medical insurance, New Hampshire State Retirement program for police and FICA. Residents approved $100,000 for consulting and beginning reconstruction on East Madison Road. There will be recounts for school ballot questions regarding Madison’s withdrawal from SAU 13 and a proposal to add a full-day kindergarten option at the elementary school. Both articles failed by very close votes. The recount will begin at 8 a.m. on Friday.
behalf of the Mental Health Center, said the organization had failed to file a petition warrant article requesting $3,750. The request was the same amount as it asked for last year. The Mental Health Center provides services to people from
all over Carroll County. “Due to an administrative oversight on our part, we neglected to send our funding request to the town in time,” said Myers. see TAMWORTH page 10

TAMWORTH from page 9
At first, town counsel Rick Sager said there was no way to fulfill the request because residents hadn’t been warned about it through the warrant. “There’s nothing this body can do to raise the money for your particular organization,” said Sager. But selectmen’s chair Willie Farnum, who had lost his re-election bid earlier in the week, asked if the money could be added to another warrant article. Farnum lost his bid for re-election on Tuesday. In particular, Farnum suggested reconsidering Article 10, which is for health and welfare. “I really feel mental health services are paramount in our community,” said Farnum. Sager replied Farnum’s strategy could work. Voters amended Arti-
cle 10 to add the money for Mental Health Center. Tamworth Community Nurse Association executive director Jo Anne Rainville urged voters to support the amended warrant article. “In the last two years, I have worked with these people more than I had ever prayed that I would ever have to,” said Rainville of the Mental Health Center. “They have saved lives.” From the back of the room, a man shouted the Mental Health Center “couldn’t get its act together” unlike the other organizations that got on the warrant. Residents sided with the Mental Health Center and passed the amended article. The total amount to be raised and appropriated became $25,233. Earlier in the meeting, residents shot down a $5,000 request from a faith-based orga-
nization called Life Bridge Inc., which provides mentoring to seventh- and eighth-grade students. Life Bridge serves over 30 families from Tamworth, according to warrant article 26. Selectmen opposed this article because they don’t want to fund religious organizations with tax dollars. Selectman John Roberts added Life Bridge should have made its request on the school district’s warrant. Resident Nancy Sheridan, who is a social worker at Kingswood High School, also asked voters to oppose Life Bridge. Sheridan said Life Bridge hurt some children’s feelings “very badly.” She also said Life Bridge hasn’t been up front with schools about being religious. “Some of them (children) came to me and said they were very uncomfortable
because they were being preached to,” said Sheridan. “They felt their religious perspectives were not being respected.” Life Bridge representative Andrew Johnson replied Life Bridge has been operating in the public schools for eight years. Life Bridge places trusted and trained adult mentors in children’s lives. Students participating in Life Bridge have gotten better grades and their behavior has improved, said Johnson. “Parents are satisfied with what we do,” said Johnson. “Our mentors are Christians. Any kid can get a mentor and they can receive positive input into their lives. There’s no faith being stuffed down kids’ throats.” A majority of residents sided with Sheridan and the selectman. The funding request was denied by voice
vote. Despite the recommendation of a majority of selectmen, residents approved a $6,000 funding request for Tri-County Community Action Program’s fuel assistance program. Tri-County CAP is based in Tamworth. For years, TriCounty CAP would give Tamworth an $8,000 payment in lieu of taxes and then town meeting voters would send them back $6,000, said Farnum explaining why he opposed the warrant article. Selectmen said the fuel assistance money comes from the federal government. Selectman Bob Abraham voted in favor of the $6,000 request. In full disclosure, Abraham said his wife, Paula, works at TriCounty CAP. Bob Abraham said Tri-County CAP is having a hard time paying its bills and
cannot afford the pilot. “I’m not in favor of holding a company hostage because they don’t pay their pilot program,” said Bob Abraham. “My wife is going step up here in a minute and tell you how many people receive fuel in this community alone. I can tell you the number is staggering.” Last year 440 Tamworth residents received $187,000 in fuel assistance benefits, said Paula Abraham. The $6,000 request is for the administration of the fuel assistance program. She said the number of requests for assistance this year is about the same as it was at this time last year. However, funding from the government has been reduced. The total grant for Tri-County CAP’s program year 2010-2011 was $6.7 million. The grant for this year is $5.3 million. “With this reduced funding we may not be able to maintain or remain open all season to assist all applicant households,” said Paula Abraham adding without local support from every town in Carroll County the local offices might close. If the local offices close, applicants might have to travel to far flung towns like Berlin or Littleton, said Paula Abraham. Tri-County CAP’s request passed by an overwhelming voice vote. After some discussion, voters also approved a request for $3,000 to fund the Blue Loon transit service, which is a part of Tri-County CAP. Parker Roberts said people choosing to live in a rural area shouldn’t expect to have public transportation. Also, he feared the program will get more expensive as federal and state funding dry up. “We’re opening a can of worms if we approve this,” said Parker Roberts. George Cleveland, who is vice chair of a group that helped organize the Blue Loon, said all public transportation services are subsidized. “As I was helping to put it together, I felt like I was watching a horror movie as there was a whole new bureaucracy see next page

growing up under my feet that I was helping to create,” said Cleveland. But Cleveland added the Blue Loon is attempting to do good by helping people with limited mobility go to places like medical appointments and the grocery store. “It’s a work in progress,” said Cleveland. Elisabeth Swiriduk had a unique reason to support the Blue Loon and drew laughs from residents when talking about her father in law’s situation. “For him to have that quality of life that he, after a stroke, can be able to be safely transported to other seniors who can have time to kick up their heels and have a little bit of fun and maybe do a jig or something, just to get them out so they aren’t at home drinking beer and this and that,” said Swiriduk. Other articles and town meeting events: * Residents passed property tax exemptions for homes equipped with solar energy systems. * The $767,553 general government operations article passed as presented. * Residents agreed to spend $556,944 on public safety. * The $1,130,628 public works article passed as presented. * David Bowles was honored for his 50 years of service with the fire department. * This year’s invocation was a special version of the song “There’s a Meeting Here Tonight” by the Town Meeting Singers.

neighboring towns’ mutually-owned transfer station. The petitioned article would have directed selectmen “not to enter into a new contract for municipal services at the Bartlett/Jackson Transfer Station extending beyond the current budget year.” A yes vote meant that voters did not want selectmen to sign the agreement — but that was defeated overwhelmingly by voice vote, meaning that voters did want selectmen to proceed. Still, moderator Willis Kelley said, the lengthy discussion let selectmen know that voters want more transparent open government and urged selectmen to conduct their business more openly by allowing voters to know what was being negotiated. Selectmen signed the new contract March 1 after nearly five years of negotiations by a vote of 2-1, with selectman Bea Davis in dissent. Asked to explain her opposition, Davis, who is stepping down from the board, said, “I just wasn’t comfortable with it.” Resident Lisa McAllistair expressed what many said during the back-andforth discussion, saying that voters had not had time to review the contract that was signed just two weeks before town meeting. The contract still needs to be approved by the state attorney general’s office, according to town clerk and tax collector Jeannette Heidmann. Several voters expressed concern that the contract calls for Jackson’s transfer station employee to become an employee of Bartlett. In so doing, he
would lose some of their benefits. Selectman Jerry Daugherty IV said, “The details are still being worked out. We’re still in negotiations. We’re not planning on cutting [the employee] loose. He will be compensated for whatever he loses.” Daughterty IV said selectmen heard voters’ concerns. “We heard that people want to be [informed],” said Daughtery after the meeting.” He also said that he expects the new board once it met for the first time Monday would figure out how it wants to handle the building code enforcement issue and whether the town needs to adopt further measures to comply with the state building code enforcement issue. “Boards set their policies; we had a board that set a policy [regarding the enforcement of the state building code] for getting things done. The new board will set its policy, and I will not say what that will be. If we do it exactly as the previous board did it, it will be up to the new board to facilitate,” said Daughtery. The meeting began with an unusual announcement by police chief Karl Meyers, who said that additional police would be on hand to monitor the meeting to prevent any outbreaks,
given what Meyers said that “some had thought there were some hot topic items” and that there were “some pretty strong feelings.” No such outbreaks occurred, however. Approximately 114 voters attended the session, covering Articles 4 through 32. It followed ballot voting Tuesday on Articles 1 through 3. Voters approved Article 4, the proposed operating budget, of $1,778,553. Voters approved Article 21 at the full amount listed for the town clerk of $20,310, and rejected Article 20, which would have reduced that amount to $18,280. An amendment to reduce the proposed salary by $2,080 under Article 21 was defeated. They also approved an article that appropriates $3,000 for selectmen to pay to have their meetings broadcast live via the Internet and to be downloadable rather than paying to have it aired on Valley Vision. The meetings are to be streamcast live and stored by Hank Benesh on his website, www.jacksonflicks.com. He has been broadcasting meetings live for free up to this point. His mother, Martha Benesh, made it clear after the meeting that her son will be paid hourly and up to $3,000.

Katie Burton is top female skier at the Ballou claims a Eastern High School Championships national title in BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
BARTLETT — Kennett High was well-represented at the Eastern High School Alpine Championships at Attitash March 9-11. Not only did the New Hampshire girls win the team title, but KHS senior Katie Burton was the top overall female skier in the championships. The New Hampshire boys were second overall. Eastern High School Championships teams are representative of and selected through high school ski racing in their home states. The championships began with a training day at Bear Peak March 9.
The Championships brought together skiers from Maine, Mass, Vermont, Connecticut, New York, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C. and New Jersey. In Sunday’s GS, Leika Scott, of Maine, captured first with a two-run combined time of 1:57.63. Burton capped her weekend by finishing second again — 1:58.78 — which was good enough to make her the overall top medalist for the girls. Fellow Granite Stater Macaela Wright was third, 1:59.25. Clancy was 11th, 2:02.76 and Van Deursen, see EASTERNS page 15
March 10’s slalom race was on the Illusion course while the GS was Sunday, March 11, also on Illusion. In the girls slalom, Allison Chivers, of Vermont, posted the fastest first run (51.05) and that proved good enough to hold onto the top spot with a tworun combined time of 1:44.85. Burton, skiing for New Hampshire, had the quickest second run (51.72) out of 82 finishers, to take second in 1:44.85. New York’s Demi Feder rounded out the top three in 1:45.34. Also from Kennett high, an skiing for the Granite State, Molly Van Deursen was 53rd overall in 2:10.76 while teammate Elyse Clancy did not finish the second run.

Van Deursen shines at Meet of Champions; wins twice BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Kennett High skiers left their mark at the prestigious Alpine Meet of Champions at Cannon Mountain on March 7. The Eagles, who captured the boys and girls team titles in Division II State Meet, were equally dominant against all of the other divisions on the slopes. They were led by Jake Van Deursen, who won both the boys slalom and giant slalom. Van Deursen had a day to remember beginning with the slalom race, which he won by by nearly two seconds as he posted the fastest two runs out of a field of 55 racers. He covered the course in 34.12 and 35.83 for a

Terry Livingston Ballou can now add national champion to her running resume. Ballou won the women’s 800 meters in the 40-45 year-old age class at the Masters Indoor Track & Field Championships in Indiana on Sunday. Ballou wasn’t the lone local to compete at the prestigious championships. Fellow White Mountain Miler Darin Brown, like Ballou, ran in three events and posted three Top 10 finishes.

combined time of 1:09.95. Fellow Eagle Matt Halupowski was second in race in 1:11.84 while Keene’s Colman Lamb claimed third in 1:14.19. Ben Garner, also from Kennett, skied to eighth place in 1:17.88 while teammate Kurt Niiler, who had the second fastest run (36.42), had a slight hiccup on the first run, but was still good enough for 22nd overall in 1:25.56. Kennett had five boys qualify for the Meet of Champions but Danny Nash was unable to attend. In the afternoon GS, Van Deursen continued his winning ways, taking see SKIING page 15

Fryeburg athletes honored at Winter Sports Awards Night BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
FRYEBURG — Fryeburg Academy recently held its 2012 Winter Sports Awards, attracting a strong turnout of athletes and their parents for an evening of well-deserved recognition. Senior Bobby Ramsay, who will be a 12 sport athlete when he graduates in June, has participated in football, basketball and baseball and may even try lacrosse this spring, was one of the student speakers on the night.

Fryeburg Academy’s Winter Sports Awards Night was once again well attended.
Emily Ouellette sang the National Anthem at just about every home basketball game. At the Wrestling State Championships, she preformed it twice in front of the crowd of well over 1,200. Silas Eastman repeated his title in the Sassi Nordic Race and also was the Western Maine champion in both the Classic and Skate nordic events.

2011-2012 Fryeburg Academy Winter plaques were presented to the following: Indoor Track — Coaches awards to Corinn Bedell and Scott Pelkie while MVP awards went to Jake Schrader and Sage Hennessy. Nordic Skiing — MVP award went to Silas Eastman while Most Improved awards went to Sullivan Briggs, Kelsey Liljedahl and Laura Pulito. Alpine Skiing — The MVP went to Christina DiPietro while Ellie Jones and Adam Armington were named Most Dedicated. Boys Basketball — Coaches awards went to Bobby Ramsey and Kevin Knowles. Girls Basketball — Raider awards went to Maggie McConkey and Skye Dole. Wresting — Outstanding Wrestler went to Zach Sheehan and Most Improved to Kirk Hubbard. Ice Hockey — Raider awards went to Zhiyue “Jacky” Liu and Pavle Stepanovic. Cheering — Most Dedicated went to Alexis Guzman. Sue Thurston, athletic director, closed the evening in style. “As we wrap things up for the Winter, I do want to thank a few people who work behind the scenes, mostly on a volunteer basis, but without their help the winter season would really not run as smoothly as it does,” she said. “Dwight, DiMille, Bobby Jordan and Ken Ouellette all help out for every event held here in the Arena. Harvey Nichols and his entire staff worked many extra hours preparing for the State wrestling Meet, and also keeping the grounds clear of snow and ice. Ann Chappell, Sally and Jim Gibson, Billi l’Heureux and Beth Jones were all invaluable throughout the year, both at the events here and the ones off campus. I felt like whenever I asked for help, they were there and it didn’t matter what the event was or the time involved. They always said ‘whatever you need me to do.’ Dylan Parmenter is a student here at the Academy who doesn’t play any sports. But I feel like every time I started either setting up the gym for a game, or meet this young man was there and never asked, just jumped in and starting helping. The night of the State wrestling meet, at about 10 when most of the kids had left, I looked around and there he was again, just helping. Susan Moran, Karen LaPage and Loralee Leech who work behind the scenes at every home Ice Cats games, doing the books, running the clock and PA, setting up and running the concession stand, chasing the officials, everything! They work with two coaches, two AD’s and kids from two high schools. So the work they put in is doubled! I especially want to thank the coaches for their countless hours and their families for all their sacrifices. Many of these people miss their own kids events to be there for our kids, and that is time they never get back.”

“She was only two seconds off her high school best time,” Bernie Livingston, Ballou’s father and former high school coach, said. Ballou, a former Kennett High track and cross country running standout, saved her best result for Sunday when she won the 800 meters by a second and a half, winning in 2:21.82. Ryan was second, 2:23.34; and Roberts, third, 2:23.99. “She was really happy with how the race went,” Livingston said. “ Two hours later, Ballou anchored the winning 4X400 relay team that finished in 2:21.9. “They had hoped to break the world master’s record, but I think they were all just too tired after so many events,” Livingston said. Brown, 45, running for the Mass Velocit team, was eighth overall in the 45-50 year-old 3,000 meters, in a time of 10:20.22 on Friday.

Children of First Christian Church raising money for the Heifer Project
The children of First Christian Church of Freedom have been raising money this year to donate to the Heifer Project. This international organization has the simple idea of giving families a source of food rather than short-term relief. At First Christian Church their goal is to raise $2,400 to present to Jan West Schrock who will be at a worship service in May to receive the funds. To date, the children and the congregation have done the following: Merry Paulding reviewed how a Pipe project will work and how to assemble the Pipe. It will hold 480 quarters or $120. Since then the Peace Pipe has been filled with quarters donated by congregation members. The proceeds from the Peace Pipe will be used to buy a sheep or a goat. The next fundraiser will be Fish Fingerlings. Each share of fish costs $30. The goal is to raise funds for 10 shares of fish. A congregation member has offered to match funds for fish shares up to $300. The overall goal for our Heifer Project is to raise $1,500 to purchase a “Basket of Joy” which contains two sheep, two llamas, four goats and one heifer. To date, the children and congregation have raised $906. It’s an ambitious project for a small congregation and a small Sunday School, but the enthusiasm has clearly been there. If you would like to donate, your contributions can be given to the Heifer Project, First Christian Church of Freedom, P.O. Box 502, Freedom, NH, 03836. Checks should be made out to First Christian Church. Congrats to our newly elected townsfolk: selectman, Neal Boyle; moderator, Don Johnson; supervisor of the checklist, Carol Stansell; trustee of the trust funds, Kimberly Reis and Pat McCoy; cemetery trustee, Dotty Brooks; planning board, Peter Park, Janet Meyers; library trustee, Laura Robinson; school

Zoning Amendment Article No. 2 (flood plain) passed; Article No. 3 (home occupation) passed and Article No. 4 (shore front cutting) passed. There were a total of 371 voters for a 36 percent voter turnout. The written yes/no for the bond article regarding the purchase of the new fire truck was voted on by 109 people: 89 Yes, 20 No. It passed; a 2/3 majority was required. Thanks to Bob Smart for the following Smart Report: As of last Tuesday evening, Ossipee Lake level is reported to be 405.6 feet and rising at a rate of about 0.2 feet per day since last Thursday. The average elevation for this time of year is 405.4 feet. There is now a 6 to 8 feet ring of water between shore and the ice cap. This should be a safety feature to keep people and vehicles off the ice. One woman and two dogs went into the water on Berry Bay last weekend. The level had been holding at 404.5’ for most of the winter. We have had a warm winter and moderate snow. My driveway was plowed only 4 times. The road frost heaves are flattening out North side dam gates are open and two of the five south side gates are open. Several adjustments had been made in south side dam opening/closing to assure the lake will be back to summer level of 407.5 feet by June. As for ice out, we had open water on April 20, 2011 and March 25, 2010 (earliest ever recorded.) The ice was thick enough to run a few small snowmobiles last week. Conclusion: The State Dam authority is watching the weather and snow melt. They are adjusting the dam with the intent of bringing the lake up to summer level by the end of May and see FREEDOM page 18

Knitting workshop at Waldorf School today
Just got back on Saturday from South Carolina and Atlanta visiting Bob and Nancy Malvesta, and Fred’s “brother,” Kenny Burns. We had great weather and we flew back to more good weather. Everyone is great and we had a super time. Now it is back to the post office for me. Come to a knitting workshop at the White Mountain Waldorf School March 20 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Come every other Tuesday of the month for a fun knitting hour. If you already know how to knit, come anyway, and you may learn new techniques or patterns. It is a free workshop, but make sure that you bring your needles and favorite yarn. March 24, come to the open house from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. to see how reading is taught in Waldorf Schools and the Waldorf Education. Come see us and learn why the Waldorf students love to read as well as other aspects of the Waldorf Education. For more information on either the Knitting Workshop or the Open House, please call 447-3168 or e-mail at info@whitemountainwaldorf.org. Registered Democrats: there will be a party caucus on Wednesday, March 21, at 7 p.m. downstairs in the Eaton Town Hall. You may choose your Eaton Town Democratic Committee and Delegates to the State Democratic Convention to be held on June 2. Independents are welcome but may not vote in the caucus. We will be electing officers and discussing possible agendas for future meetings. Light refreshments will be served. If you have any questions, please call Janet Bridgham at 447-1733. Just a reminder of the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust’s third Annual Art Celebrates Place art show coming up, featuring paintings of local easements by Mabel Albert, Karen Brisbois, Ed Cooke, Marge Kendrick, Wendy Ketchum, Rebecca Klementovich, Peg Scully, and Sean Stull. The show will hang at Tin Mountain Conservation Center from April 7 until May 20, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with the opening
reception on Saturday, April 7, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The succinct entertainment at 6 p.m. will include Tom Earle reading a Robert Frost poem, a few songs, Jay Rancourt reading a few poems, and Olga Morrill telling a story. Good eats and drinks, great company and a chance to support the land trust will abound. Have you taken advantage of the Inn at Crystal Lake and Palmer House Pub’s new deal? It is Monty’s memorable springtime special every Wednesday and Thursday (except for opera night) until the end of April. The cost is $50 for dinner for two including salad, choice of three entrees (different every week), dessert, coffee or tea, AND a bottle of Menage a Trois red or white wine. The regular pub and dining room menus are always available, too. Don’t miss this week’s Opera Night on Thursday, March 22, featuring Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “South Pacific,” based on James Michener’s “Tales of the South Pacific.” The original cast had Mary Martin and Ezio Pinza, and the movie starred Mitzi Gaynor and Rossano Brazzi. The music is truly lovely with “Bali Ha’i,” “Some Enchanted Evening,” “There is Nothing Like a Dame,” and “Younger Than Springtime.” The cost is $55 per person includes discussions and demonstrations and a four-course dinner that complements the opera, and a glass of wine. This does not include other alcohol, tax or gratuity. Dinners start at 6:30 p.m. with the opera lectures at 7 p.m. For reservations, call 447-2120. I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Bev. DeWitt. I’ve known that family since 1961 when I moved here and they lived in town. Bev was always social and ready to have a good laugh. She just loved being with people. I remember her greeting everyone at Walmart for years. She deeply loved her family and friends, and we will all miss her smile and big heart. My condolences go out especially to Sid, Pammie, Sherm, Sandy, Carol, and Dennis. We all grew up together really. What a gal!
A Journey to Excellence. It’s not easy growing up these days.
Young people face challenges, pressures and temptations unimaginable just a few years ago. In a world of turmoil and constant change parents increasingly look for alternatives in education to offer their children the tools they need to survive and succeed in this life and eternity.
The Eaton Village Preservation Society (EVPS) had their annual meeting on March 1. We are still participating in the Adopt a Highway and want to thank those members that helped with the clean-up last spring. We will be organizing another clean-up this spring and hope to have a great turn-out. Our part of Route 153 is from the Bridghams’ house to Crystal Lake. We discussed Eaton Fest, which was a successful fund-raiser once again for the organization. Great food, good music, 5K race, parade and auction, all a lot of fun. We will have the run again but not the parade, and the Barbecued Chicken is on the menu this year for Aug. 25 or 26 as a rain day. Mark it down now on your calendars. We have ordered another new grill; this project has been organized by the Eaton Village Preservation Society and paid for by the Selectmen. As many of you have noticed, the flagpole at the Eaton Village Store is gone. Weather and age got the best of it and we had to remove it. Patrick Marks has offered to donate a new pole to the Store and he and Ward Simonton will install it as soon as the weather permits. It has been almost eight years since the store was saved. During these years we have spent thousands of volunteer hours and thousands of dollars keeping things running smoothly and the store looking good. The Board has decided that there is a lot of regularly scheduled maintenance that needs to be addressed. Therefore, they have decided to create a reserve account dedicated to funding maintenance and repairs at the store. We will be fund-raising during our regularly scheduled Membership Drive to fund this account. We are so happy with the tremendous job that Willie and Kristin are doing at the Store. You guys are the best. I hope everyone had a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day. We flew out of Atlanta in the morning and celebrated the “wearing of the green” at Stone Mountain Arts Center for their fantastic show. To contact Nancy Williams call 447-5635.

Feinstein Dessert Auction April 4 I had the news on this morning and I heard this story from London that involved Scotland Yard and “fat cops” — their term; not mine. Apparently someone in a position of higher authority suggested requiring their officers receive annual fitness tests. That didn’t sound like such a bad idea but here’s the catch. Apparently if the officer failed his test, they would reduce his/ her salary. After thinking about it, I decided it might just work — less money; less food. What do you think? Speaking of food — the richer, higher caloric kind — we have the Feinstein Dessert Auction coming up on Wednesday, April 4. People have been very generous with their donations as well as their bids over the years and we hope this spirit will continue. If you enjoy baking please call the front desk and sign up to bring in a special dessert that day. Better still plan to bid on one of those tasty items — just in time for Easter! This Tuesday is the first day of spring and to celebrate, some members of the belly dancing class will be in the dining room around 11 a.m. to help us ring in the new season. No reservations are required; just a good appetite and a lot of enthusiasm. Hope we see you there. Remember to check below for upcoming programs and trips taking place at Gibson or go to our website at www.gibsoncenter.org. Have a wonderful week and God bless! Monday, March 19: Chair exercise begins at 10:30 a.m. The Met video tours begin at 12:30 p.m. in the activity room. The bowling group leaves the center at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 20: Strength, Balance & Stretch classes start at 10 a.m. today in the activity room.

Come enjoy Flatbread’s Pizza at the Mount Washington Valley Lacrosse Club fundraiser on Tuesday, March 20, from 4 to 9 p.m. Please join the Mount Washington Valley and Kennett High School lacrosse teams as you dine or take out.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
by Lynn Johnston
DILBERT
by Scott Adams
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everything cannot be important to you at once, although it may feel that way as this new season opens before you. There’s a wonderful sense of urgency to your mood. You want to know, do and be “it all.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In some way, you’ll feel like a professional basketball player stepping up to the free-throw line. The pressure is on, but it’s also your chance to be a star and save the day. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your concern about social standing is well founded. Image is important, and so is reputation. You’ll be deciding how you want to be perceived in the new season and making fresh decisions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll love the particular brand of distraction that seeks you out today. You may decide that it’s not a diversion at all, but rather a delightful bit of meaning that’s been purposefully put in your path. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A little plan might fall through, but the big picture is still intact. In some way, the pressure is off of you now. This is your chance to make a new deal. Above all, you have hope. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 20). Believing impossible things takes practice. You’re just the kind of dreamer who will practice often, and your belief will bring about miraculous results. Your harmonious personal life makes it possible for you to give quality attention to your work. You’ll excel and be promoted. Moves and renovations happen in May. Virgo and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 50, 23, 41 and 39.
Get Fuzzy
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have the sense that the world is full of promise and that you’re just the one to make good. It’s as though the sky was painted for you alone and the angels are awaiting your orders. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have a clear intention for the day and a stellar sense of direction to help you head toward it. You’re also willing to change your tactics or jump onto a different path whenever necessary. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re constantly learning and growing, and sometimes you just want to stop and take stock of where you are. Love helps you do this. Having someone to talk to and share special moments with will help you to realize your many blessings. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The imbalance in your life will be set right. You’re realizing more and more that just because things aren’t quite the way you want them to be doesn’t mean they are not perfect in the grand scheme. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sometimes you talk off of the top of your head, and it doesn’t come out the way you want it to. People hear your heart, though, and it’s in the right place. So anything you say that’s a little off won’t count for much. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s much to gain from keeping up with loved ones. They may vent about topics that are irrelevant to you, and yet you can appreciate the fact that others have different priorities and interests. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re going into a new season, but you won’t forget your heritage. You’ll attract good fortune as you pay homage to the ghosts who have inspired the person you are today.

Saturday’s Answer
THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Tuesday, March 20, 2012— Page 21
Today is Tuesday, March 20, the 80th day of 2012. There are 286 days left in the year. Spring arrives at 1:14 a.m. Eastern time. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 20, 1912, a coal mine explosion in McCurtain, Okla., claimed the lives of 73 workers. On this date: In 1413, England’s King Henry IV died; he was succeeded by Henry V. In 1727, physicist, mathematician and astronomer Sir Isaac Newton died in London. In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte returned to Paris after escaping his exile on Elba, beginning his “Hundred Days” rule. In 1852, Harriet Beecher Stowe’s influential novel about slavery, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” was first published in book form after being serialized. In 1933, the state of Florida executed Giuseppe Zangara for the shooting death of Chicago Mayor Anton J. Cermak at a Miami event attended by President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt, the presumed target. In 1952, the U.S. Senate ratified, 66-10, the Treaty of Peace with Japan. At the Academy Awards, “An American in Paris” was named best picture of 1951; Humphrey Bogart best actor for “The African Queen”; Vivien Leigh best actress for “A Streetcar Named Desire”; and George Stevens best director for “A Place in the Sun.” In 1969, John Lennon married Yoko Ono in Gibraltar. In 1977, voters in Paris chose former French Prime Minister Jacques Chirac to be the French capital’s first mayor in more than a century. In 1985, Libby Riddles of Teller, Ala., became the first woman to win the Iditarod Trail Dog Sled Race. In 1987, the Food and Drug Administration approved the sale of AZT, a drug shown to prolong the lives of some AIDS patients. In 1995, in Tokyo, 12 people were killed, more than 5,500 others sickened when packages containing the poisonous gas sarin were leaked on five separate subway trains by Aum Shinrikyo (ohm shin-ree-kyoh) cult members. In 1999, Bertrand Piccard of Switzerland and Brian Jones of Britain became the first aviators to fly a hot-air balloon around the world nonstop. One year ago: As Japanese officials reported progress in their battle to gain control over a leaking, tsunami-stricken nuclear complex, the discovery of more radiation-tainted vegetables and tap water added to public fears about contaminated food and drink. Today’s Birthdays: Producer-director-comedian Carl Reiner is 90. Actor Hal Linden is 81. Country singer Don Edwards is 73. TV producer Paul Junger Witt is 69. Country singer-musician Ranger Doug is 66. Hockey Hall-of-Famer Bobby Orr is 64. Blues singer-musician Marcia Ball is 63. Actor William Hurt is 62. Rock musician Carl Palmer is 62. Rock musician Jimmie Vaughan is 61. Actress Amy Aquino is 55. Movie director Spike Lee is 55. Actress Theresa Russell is 55. Actress Holly Hunter is 54. Rock musician Slim Jim Phantom is 51. Actress-model-designer Kathy Ireland is 49. Actress Liza Snyder is 44. Actor Michael Rapaport is 42. Actor Alexander Chaplin is 41. Rock singer Chester Bennington (Linkin Park) is 36. Actor Michael Genadry is 34.

FOUR YEARS OF COLLEGE IS NOT THE ONLY ROAD TO SUCCESS
DEAR ABBY: Do you think every American child should get a four-year college degree? I keep meeting students who have a real talent and passion for other jobs -- military, cosmetology or skilled trades, such as Internet technology and carpentry -- but whose parents are furious at the suggestion they might not graduate from a four-year college. It’s a little-known fact that there is actually a shortage of skilled tradespeople these days. IT jobs pay well and are constantly in demand. As my grandmother used to say, “Everyone needs a plumber when the toilet’s clogged.” It distresses me to see so many parents disregard their kids’ instincts about their skills and desired careers in favor of the “more schooling is always better” philosophy. Graduating from college has been part of what we envision as the “American dream,” but not every kid is going to be fulfilled after getting one of those degrees when the jobs that go with it don’t materialize. If a child wants to go into the military or become a skilled tradesperson, parents should at least consider what they’re suggesting. Because someone chooses a career path that isn’t what a parent hoped for doesn’t mean he or she can’t be successful. -- ANN ARBOR READER DEAR READER: I have had this discussion with many people over the years and I agree. While it is crucial that young people finish high school, not every child is intellectually inclined. Many have talents better-suited to the trades. A person with skill and drive can earn a good living as a plumber, electrician, tailor or in the food industry. Some brilliant and successful people started but didn’t finish college. Many of them are in the arts and technology fields. Economic realities being what they are today, parents should be flexible and sensitive to their children’s aspirations
on this subject. DEAR ABBY: For 20 years, my secret (to some, but not to others) involvement with a married man has kept me on an emotional roller coaster. We were both married at the time it began, and it was always understood that we would not leave our partners. However, since then my marriage has broken down. Conventional wisdom -- expressed by friends, family and your column repeatedly -- has it that I should end this hopeless affair, get out and meet other men. I have made numerous attempts, but have accepted that he’s the only man I feel comfortable being intimate with. I don’t want him to leave his marriage, from which he draws much respectability and desperately needed security. However, his obvious delight in our afternoon trysts does suggest that his so-called picture-perfect marriage doesn’t meet his emotional and sexual needs. And that’s what irks me! This couple presents a happy profile in our community. The urge to burst his hypocritical bubble is growing within me with every passing year. Would it be morally reprehensible for me to let his wife know that she has been made a fool of for the last 20 years? -- SEETHING IN CANADA DEAR SEETHING: Yes. Resist the urge. What makes you think his wife doesn’t know? Once more than two people know this kind of “secret,” word has a way of circulating. I see nothing positive to be gained by trying to hurt the wife. If your lover has to make a choice between the two of you, the person who will get the boot will be you. You knew this from the beginning. And you may find that it is not the wife who has been a fool for 20 years, but you.

“ I knew my hearing was not good, so I went to an audiologist. I was not satisfied with all the talk and prices and just said “oh well”. Then I went to Dale Lalone; a real nice person and very understanding. He fitted me with an aid that was right for me. What a pleasure to hear so much better, go out with friends and not pretend to have heard the conversation and sometimes smile at the wrong time. I am with it again.” —Audrey Keniston, Portland, Maine
