Big crowd expected at meeting Thursday

CONWAY — The school board will convene a special meeting Thursday where it will trim the proposed 2011-12 school budget by $1.5 million.

The move is being made just in case the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration rules only 10 percent could be restored to

the budget from deliberative session, not the full 11 percent voters sought to add.

The school board also must make a contingency plan on state retirement funds, which Gov. John Lynch has intimated the state will no longer contribute 35 percent as it has done in the past, leaving taxpayers in Conway to pick up the estisee SCHOOL CUTS page 8

CONWAY —The first full day of spring Monday looked anything springlike as the region got hit with a winterlike snowstorm that left from 2 to 12 inches of new snow on local roads — and ski slopes.

OSSIPEE -- After six hours of debate, lawmakers decided not to approve Carroll County's 2011 budget on Monday.

They are scheduled to meet again next Tuesday, and one topic far from settled is the future of the county farm's proposed livestock program.

In county government, a group of 14 state representatives approve the bottom line budget. The county commissioners manage the money with help of the department heads.

The delegation considered passing a total county budget of $25,937,243. About half would have been offset with revenue.

The amount to be raised by taxes would have been $13,095,836, which is only $7,000 more than see COUNTY page 3

Unmarried pastor sees bias

(NY Times) — Like all too many Americans, Mark Almlie was laid off in the spring of 2009 when his workplace downsized.

But Mr. Almlie, despite a sterling education and years of experience, has faced an obstacle that does not exist in most professions: He is a single pastor, in a field where those doing the hiring overwhelmingly prefer married people and, especially, married men with children.

Mr. Almlie, 37, has been shocked, he says, at what he calls unfair discrimination, based mainly on irrational fears: that a single pastor cannot counsel a mostly married flock, that he might sow turmoil by flirting with a church member, or that he might be gay. If the job search is hard for single men, it is doubly so for single women who train for the ministry, in part because many evangelical denominations explicitly require a man to lead the congregation.

Mr. Almlie, an ordained evangelical minister who lives in Petaluma, Calif., has also had to contend with the argument, which he disputes with scriptural citations of his own, that the Bible calls for married leaders. “Prejudice against single pastors abounds,” Mr. Almlie wrote in articles he posted on a popular Christian blog site in January and February, setting off a wide-ranging debate online on a topic that many said has been largely ignored.

As Cairo police protest, fire engulfs ministry building

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

CAIRO (NY Times) — Flames engulfed the upper floors of a building in Egypt’s Interior Ministry compound on Tuesday, after a protest by thousands of police officers demanding higher wages and the resignation of the newly installed interior minister. It was the second time in a month a police protest at the ministry ended with the building ablaze.

The seven-story building houses the ministry’s communications center and is topped by a towering radio antenna. Ambulances and fire engines raced to the scene under a thick plume of black smoke that hung over downtown Cairo.

More than a thousand onlookers — most of them uniformed police officers — stared up at the flames as paramedics and firefighters pushed through the throngs. At least eight people were injured, said security sources, and 12 protesters were arrested on suspicion of arson.

The police officers had spent the day protesting for higher wages, health care benefits and the return of Mahmoud Wagdy as interior minister. He had been replaced by Mansour elEssawy after a cabinet shake-up on March 3 removed the last Mubarak-era officials.

Spent fuel hampers efforts at Japanese plant TOKYO (NY Times) — Workers at Japan’s ravaged nuclear power plant on Tuesday renewed a bid to bring its command centers back online and restore electricity to vital cooling systems but an overheating spent fuel pool hampered efforts and raised the threat of further radiation leaks.

Workers sprayed water to cool down the spent nuclear

fuel in the fourth reactor building at Tokyo Electric Power Company’s Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant.

The storage pool at Fukushima Daiichi Power Station’s No. 2 Reactor, which holds spent nuclear fuel rods, was spewing steam late Tuesday, forcing workers to divert their attention to dousing the reactor building with water. If

unchecked the water in the pool could boil away, exposing the fuel rods and releasing large amounts of radiation into the air.

“We cannot leave this alone and we must take care of it as quickly as possible,” Hidehiko Nishiyama, deputy director of Japan’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, told reporters.

Obama tries to patch rift on Libya role

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Allied fighters struck targets in Tripoli on a fourth day of airstrikes but forces loyal to Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi showed no signs of ending their sieges of rebel held cities, as the Security Council has demanded, while President Obama spoke on Tuesday with the French and British leaders in an effort to defuse a disagreement among the allies over how to manage the military action against Libya.

At least three bomb blasts were heard in the capital Tuesday evening as flares from Libyan anti-aircraft guns arced across the sky. But attacks by pro-Qaddafi forces were particularly intense in the western cities of Misurata — where snipers and artillery killed 40 people and wounded 189, a rebel spokesman said — and Zintan. Both cities have been under siege for weeks.

Adm. Samuel J. Locklear III, an American officer who is the tactical commander of the mission, said that his intelligence reports confirmed that Colonel Qaddafi’s forces were attacking civilians in Misurata on Tuesday.

been one of the top ski teams in the state," principal Neal Moylan said proudly Monday evening. "It's become almost second thought that these young men and women would become state champs. The boys' and girls' alpine team were both up to the challenge this year and continue to hold the standard high for future Eagles to come."

Moylan praised the Eagles for not only being athletes but for representing themselves as student athletes.

"Not only do they perform well on the mountains but they also excel academically and their sportsmanship is second to none," he said, smiling.

Laurel Zengilowski, head ski coach at Kennett, presented her squad to the school board, with members stating their names and the grades they are currently in.

The Kennett High boys' alpine team not only defended its state championship on Feb. 8, the Eagles capped off an undefeated season by skiing away from the field at Waterville Valley in one of the most dominating team performances in recent memory.

Kennett also crowned a pair of individual state champions with Jake Van Deursen repeating at champion in the giant slalom and Matt Halupowski winning the slalom in the afternoon.

Kennett High dominated the 14-school field, scoring 777 points from GS and slalom combined. Plymouth followed with 687 points, and then it was Bedford, 645; HollisBrookline, 645; Lebanon, 636; Souhegan, 613; ConVal, 607; Kingswood, 311; John Stark, 283; Pembroke, 219; Milford, 197; Windham, 193; and Laconia, 143.

In the morning GS, Van Deursen posted the fastest two runs (33.4 and 33.37) for a combined time of 66.77 to win by almost a second and half.

Plymouth's Michael Bancroft was second in 68.21, while Halupowski was third, 68.48.

Kennett placed six skiers in the top 11 of the 75-skier field. Kurt Niiler was fourth, 69.06; Lucas Tinkham, eighth, 71.1; Danny MacDonald, ninth, 71.53; and Ben Garner, 11th, 71.85.

The Kennett High girls also skied

as a team in every fashion last month at Cranmore much to the delight of Zengilowski, who had just two days earlier watched the Kennett boys hoist the alpine crown.

Overall standings were Kennett, first, 772; Plymouth, 712; Hanover, 682.5; Bishop Guertin, 662; HollisBrookline, 633; Bedford, 625.5; Souhegan, 609; Lebanon, 588; Kingswood, 563.5; Laconia, 508.5; ConVal, 493; John Stark, 460; Windham, 311; Pembroke Academy, 214; and Milford, 195.

The Eagles took a 35-point lead after the morning GS and extended that by 25 points in the afternoon slalom on a picture-perfect day for ski racing.

In the opening GS, individual honors went to Nika Mosenthal, of Plymouth, who also won the slalom later in the day, posting a two-run combined time of 79.92. Hot on her skis was Kennett's Katie Burton, who finished close behind in second in 80.96. Plymouth's Annie D'Elia rounded out the top three in 81.92.

Other Kennett skiers were Taylor Gardella, fourth 81.97; McPherson, fifth, 82.03; Paulina Karabelas, eighth, 83.03; Emily Leich, 11th, 84.95; and Molly Van Deuresen, who was ninth after the first run, but did not finish her second one.

Kennett scored 385 points in GS followed by Plymouth, 350; Hanover, 346.5; Bedford, 333.5; Bishop Guertin, 327; Souhegan, 307; Hollis-Brookline, 305; Lebanon, 290; Kingswood, 290; Laconia, 259; ConVal, 237; John Stark, 228; Windham, 210; Pembroke, 101; and Milford, 91.

In the slalom race, Mosenthal bested a field of 85 skiers with the fastest two runs (33.97 and 33.98) to win in 67.95. She narrowly edged Kennett's McPherson (33.99 and 34.04), second, 68.03, while Gardella claimed third, 71.94.

Leich was fifth, 74.05; Annabella Canter, seventh, 75.99; Karabelas, ninth, 77.01; and Burton, did not finish.

There is no longer an overall team title for the State Meet. The New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association retired that award four years ago. Kennett was the lone team to win that crown, doing so all four years it was offered.

COUNTY from page one

last year.

If the delegation doesn't approve a budget on March 29, then the county commissioner's proposed budget goes into effect. The commissioner's proposed budget is substantially higher. It has $13,445,319 to be raised by taxes. That's an increase of about $357,000 over last year, which is about a 2.7 percent increase.

Rep. Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett) said officials were only able to keep the amount to be raised by taxes under control by using $2.5 million in surplus funds. The county was going to be spending $1.3 million more than it had last year (excluding expenses for the new nursing home). Chandler was comparing 2011's proposed budget to 2010's actual spending.

County Commission chair David Sorensen added the county could spend $2.5 million out of reserves and still have $2.8 million let over.

Prior to the overall budget failing, the delegation approved each individual department budget, except for the the sheriff's office.

Delegation chair Betesy Patten (R-Moultonborough) had planned to get a preliminary approval on Monday and then hold a ratification vote in Concord next week -- when all the changes would be recorded.

But her plan fell apart when the proposed budget failed by a vote of six to five.

"We'll come back next week because I'm not going to do this in Concord," said Patten.

Approving a county budget can be a rather involved process, according to Patten. Normally, the delegation votes on changes to the budget in executive session. Then, those votes are ratified in convention. In Carroll County the difference between executive session and convention is merely procedural.

What happened on Monday was the funding for the Sheriff's Union contract was approved in convention but then they didn't come out of convention when they began discussing the regular budget.

None of the delegation members wanted to vote on the proposed budget in convention, so Chandler prodded the delegation to go back into executive session where they voted the budget down.

The most dramatic discussion was about county farm supervisor Will DeWitte's proposal to raise beef cows and pigs on the county farm.

DeWitte asked for about $49,000 for start up costs.

The first twist came when Chandler motioned to eliminate the funding. He questioned if livestock could really generate revenue. He also had difficulty with the concept of expanding government in tough economic times.

"There are people out there who are unable to pay their taxes... there's enough problems in this budget," said Chandler. "I'm astounded."

Rep. Chris Ahlgren (R-Wolfeboro) worried that the smell from the pig see COUNTY page 5

farm would upset the nursing home residents.

The county is in the process of constructing a new $23.5 million nursing home. Ahlgren added he had worked on a farm in Illinois. Livestock can also get diseases that can be transmitted to people, he said.

"You can be miles away from a pig farm and smell it quite caustically," said Ahlgren. "But what I find most troubling is that in a time like this we're talking about opening a business... If there is an available market, some private individual should be willing to take that up and make some money at it themselves."

But Sorensen replied, years ago, when he first started working at the county, there was a county pig farm in operation and no one at the nursing home complained about the smell. The wind blows in the other direction.

Representatives Harry Merrow and Dave Babson, both Republicans from Ossipee, argued livestock was worth a try. Any new business would require a start up investment, they said.

"You can sell the pigs off or eat them if it doesn't work," said Babson.

Rep. Mark McConkey (R-Freedom) praised DeWitte for his dedication to the county and willingness to take on more responsibility. McConkey was trying to say the program would become more costly if DeWitte left and part time employees had to be added. However, McConkey used an interesting choice words to make his point.

"The superintendent will become intimately involved with the pigs," said McConkey. "Probably not the right phrase."

The delegation burst into laughter. Someone added McConkey's gaff will make headlines.

Chandler lost the debate about "zeroing out" the livestock budget. His motion failed by a vote of 7-6.

Later, McConkey passed a motion to cut the funding to $17,350. McConkey said the rest of the funding should come from donations. He clarified, that shouldn't include investors who would profit.

That motion passed 9-4.

Hours later, Rep. Frank McCarthy said he made a mistake when he voted to save the livestock program's budget. McCarthy said he meant to zero it out. He asked for the matter to be reconsidered.

"I was confused," said McCarthy.

But by that time, Merrow had left. Chandler thought it would be unfair to reconsider the ques-

tion with Merrow absent. Chandler said he made that point knowing that reconsideration would likely create an outcome he'd prefer.

The motion to reconsider failed by a hand vote of 6-6.

At the end of the meeting, Effingham resident Henry Spencer chided the delegation for going into nonpublic session to discuss the union contract that covers sheriff's office employees. Spencer noted that the contract had already been signed by the county commission and union representatives. The delegation's role was merely to decide whether or not to fund the contract. Spencer also criticized the delegation for not keeping minutes

during the nonpublic discussion.

"That conversation should have been done in public," said Spencer. "I'd like the minutes to express that I'm really upset about the process.

I'm sorry you are tired and want to go home. This is important to me. You people are here because you represent people and I'm people. You did something wrong."

In response, Patten had this explanation of why they chose to go into nonpublic session.

"Because we wanted to," said Patten who promised that won't happen again. The delegation decided to fund the contract.

Get facts right before condemning Eaton To the editor: I would like to get the facts right concerning some comments Earl Sires said in Friday’s Conway Daily Sun regarding Eaton getting out of the Conway Recreation program.

He asserted that Eaton wanted to pay a fee for each participant that was below the cost to fund the Conway program, was unfair to other towns and was less than what Conway participants pay.

These statements are absolutely false in light of the facts.

The fact is that Eaton Selectmen sent a letter to the Conway Selectmen July 10, 2010 on this matter clearly stating that Eaton hoped to be charged a similar amount to Albany which is more than what Conway pays.

Eaton clearly did not want to undercut anybody. In fact, for the last several years, the converse has been the case.

Last year Eaton paid a total of $20,335 or $4,067 per participant which is about three to four times more than what Albany or Conway pay per participant. Eaton has cer-

tainly paid more than its fair share of the Conway Recreation program having only five participants attending.

Clearly, the Conway property value formula is very unfair and discriminatory against small towns like Eaton where the children are deprived of the Conway program due to the high costs.

Conway chose to reject the Eaton request and stay with their property value formula. As a result, by a two to one margin at a recent town meeting, Eaton voted out of the Conway program while voting to budget for one of two excellent recreation programs in nearby towns at nearly one third the cost of the Conway program. Not surprisingly, both of these towns have participant fee based programs, not property value based ones like Conway.

I would suggest Mr. Sires gets his facts right before he falsely condemns Eaton for finding a better solution for our citizens.

Narrow mind clogged with leftist garbage To the editor: Regarding your cartoonist D. Rano in the March 19 Conway Daily Sun, all I can say is that he’s aptly named; his narrow mind is obviously clogged with the standard leftist garbage.

Why the hell do we have to pay for kids’ meals in school, other than the few genuinely in-need? Don’t they have parents!

Worse, I hear that various communes across our oncegreat nation are not only providing breakfast for their inmates, but three meals per day, even in the summer!

It’s bad enough that many of our “school” products are not only functionally illiterate but overweight, too!

But, the current generation likely will make us yearn for the in-training crop of room-temperature-I.Q. malcontents as illustrated by the brain-dead spoiled college brats at the Madison, Wisc. goings on.

Finally, back to D. Rano’s idiocy, I’ll bet Mr. Shakir’s lunch was paid for by him, not some feel-good liberal bureaucrat using our money!

Thanking the community for support of the Kennett Hockey Team To the editor: On behalf of the entire Kennett Hockey Team I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire community for their support over the past year. The 2010-2011 season started back in July with many fund-raising activities that were a huge success in large part due to the generosity of the local businesses and the community for supporting them.

When the puck dropped on the season in November with the alumni game the Ham Arena was regularly packed giving us a huge home ice advantage every time we took the ice. A coach from our division recently e-mailed me and said the following… Kennett draws huge crowds to

their home games and that shows the way the community embraces the team. It’s certainly a hostile environment to play with many distractions. It’s a big challenge for sure!

We would like to thank the hundreds of fans who made the trip south to Concord and Manchester for the finals. It was a great ride and we were honored to play in front of such great crowds. We only wish we could have given you more to cheer about on Sunday the 13th. We look forward to the challenge of battling to get back to Manchester and bringing another State Championship to the valley next season.

Religion not cool at town meeting!

Religious invocations have no place at annual town meeting or any other governmental meeting.

If you want to be religious, do it on your own time.

At Tamworth Town Meeting, I was irked when Helen Steele gave an invocation that had a religious theme. To be quite frank, I was only half listening and actually happy Steele gave me some time to find my cell phone — which was hiding in a coat pocket. My digital recorder captured her words.

“Dear Lord, we ask for your blessing as we gather to conduct the important business of our town,” said Steele, who is a former teacher at Kennett.

I didn’t!

The most annoying implication of this this prayer is that the residents of Tamworth aren’t smart enough to manage a multimillion dollar budget without hand holding from an invisible friend in the sky.

There are a number of other reasons not to bring God into our town meetings. The first being, that the meeting was long enough. We got out pretty late that night. I’d move to Iran if I were into religious involvement in government.

More importantly, not everyone in the room is a Christian — in fact, I’m an atheist. All I can say is the evidence doesn’t seem to support the existence of any gods. The burden of proof is always on the believer.

To me, asking “the Lord” for guidance is equally as strange as asking the Flying Spaghetti Monster (Google it), Thor, or Zeus. Even if God, Jesus, et. al., were real, they are the last deities I’d want weighing in on Tamworth’s affairs.

Jesus might say, “Take that capital improvement plan and toss it in the garbage. Take no thought for the morrow and follow me!”

God, on the other hand, might require the people of Tamworth to raise an army to smite the people of Ossipee or enslave Sandwich residents. Remember the Amalekites?

Now, the reader might ask why I don’t believe. Is it because I want to live in sin?

Please permit me to explain. I’m skeptical about God because there is a lack of evidence to support his existence. In my opinion personal experience and anecdote don’t count.

I’ll admit to having experiences that felt as if they could have been divinely planned. Many people have. Some say they know God and it leads them to do wonderful things like opening a food pantry. I suspect those people would do those things with or without God. Other people say they know God and it leads them to fly airplanes into the World Trade Center.

The most annoying implication of this this prayer is that the residents of Tamworth aren’t smart enough to manage a multimillion dollar budget without handholding from an invisible friend in the sky.

Human beings have believed a lot of things over the course of history. Clearly, there is no consistency.

If there really was a God, and he cared, then his message would be much more obvious.

Then figure in the course of evolution. To worship God and be a modern and sane person, you have to believe that God contented himself with watching a multitude of prehistoric creatures eat each other for billions of years. To me that just seems cruel.

To be more specific about Christianity, the main story line doesn’t make any sense. I mention that because Easter is around the corner. What would have happened if humans did the right thing and spared Jesus’ life? Why did God create humans if he hates almost everything we do? How can scapegoating someone else do anything for my sins? Wouldn’t it make more sense to say sins can be forgiven when there is restitution to the offended party?

Some of the best explanation of my beliefs can be found on Youtube by searching for “Christopher Hitchens why Christianity fails.”

One can also search Youtube for the Atheist Experience (a public access television show based in Texas).

What they say can be applied to all religions.

In contrast to Steele, Madison moderator George Epstein had a totally appropriate invocation. He asked for a moment of silence for several Madison residents who passed away and for consideration of the devastation in Japan.

Christians might say the U.S. Legislature has prayers and even has at least a couple of chaplains. That’s true, but the federal government does a lot of questionable things.

Consider at the federal budget. Do you think those prayers are working?

Getting back to Tamworth, Moderator Chris Canfield said he was just following tradition by having an invocation. Over the years he’s had religious and secular speakers.

I understand where he his coming from. But Mr. Moderator, perhaps next year we can we have equal time for the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

What will the board cut?

SCHOOL CUTS from page one

mated $428,000 tab.

Thursday's meeting will be held in the Conway Professional Development Center at the Kennett Middle School at 6 p.m. At least it will start out there according to school superintendent Carl Nelson.

"We may have to move from there to a bigger venue," he said, Tuesday by phone. "I anticipate we may have a number of people wanting to attend this meeting."

There was so much interest the winter sports award night at the high school has been postponed to March 31.

The lone items on the agenda are "Administration’s recommendation for $1.5 million in reductions" and "Discuss and finalize $1.5 million cuts from the Conway budget along with "Any other business."

The budget committee cut the school’s budget by 11 percent a month ago, but school supporters put every cent back in March 9. According to DRA rules, voters are allowed to modify the budget committee’s recommendation by 10 percent at the deliberative meeting. The voters put in all they could, and more.

“There’s nothing illegal about that motion, it’s just risky,” said Peter Malia, the town’s attorney, following the meeting. “The potential exists for the DRA to shave off the difference.”

To “shave off the difference,” he said, the DRA would begin with the last warrant article and work its way backward until the school budget is within 10 percent of the budget committee’s recommendation.

And even if the voters reject the proposed budget in favor of the default, Malia said, there is a chance the DRA will still hold the school to 10 percent of the budget committee’s recommendation.

“It will sort of be a first for the DRA,” he said, since no one has ever exceeded the 10 percent limit, either in a proposed or default budget.

The proposed school budget is $33.1 million — $3.6 million more than what the budget committee had recommended.

The default budget, normally a fallback option that limits spending,

is $190,473 more than the proposed budget this year.

The school board met behind closed doors for over an hour March 14 and later announced it had decided at that time not to challenge the budget committee's 11 percent reduction in court.

"At this point the school board just wants to move ahead and go to the vote April 12 and see what happens," Nelson said March 15. "That's where things stand now but this situation is an ever-changing one. The board has decided to see what happens and what the DRA decides."

Nelson explained Tuesday, the board needs to make contingency plans in case the DRA rules to cut the budget.

"The board has to make provisions within the budget in the event that as the governor has stated that the state will no longer continue to contribute 35 percent to the state retirement fund. In Conway's case that equates to $428,000 (for this upcoming year). I don't think it will happen, but just as we did in Bartlett last week, we have to make provisions to send funding to the retirement system.

"The other piece is if the DRA imposes the 10 percent rule, which I believe it will, and start eating up warrant articles until it gets to the budget, totaling $829,000," he continued. "The board does have some possible challenge options along the way.

As Attorney (John) Teague has raised the issue of did the budget committee do its work properly."

Nelson said the DRA could rule that the default budget may be subject to a 10 percent cut, too. "That's the big unknown," he said. "It's never happened before in the state."

Nelson also explained the school board is facing an April 15 deadline.

"We have to have everything done by that date because we are contractually obligated to notify employees of non-renewals by then," he said.

Under the $1.5 million cut, Nelson said there would be personnel let go.

He said a full description of the cuts will be made public Thursday evening.

"The administrators have presented a list of recommended cuts to the school board to be discussed (and acted upon) Thursday night," he said.

SPRING SNOW from page one

rejoiced, including Marti Mayne, publicist for the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce, who hailed the storm as creating good spring ski conditions at local ski touring centers and alpine areas.

“We’ll be skiing well into April in Mount Washington Valley. Ski resorts reported [up to] to 9 inches of new snow in the last 24 hours,” said Mayne.

Ed Bergeron, North Conway cooperative observer for the U.S. Weather Service of Gray Maine, reported on “The Morning Weather Show” on WMWV 93.5-FM Tuesday morning that as of 7 a.m., his weather post had recorded 5.2 inches of new snow.

That brought the monthly total to 16.4 inches and the snow season total to 77.7 inches — close to the 35-year monthly average for March of 17.1 inches and the snow season average of 83.5 inches.

More could be on the way Wednesday night through Thursday with a light accumulation possible, according to WMUR-TV 9.

“So we could break even [snow wise],” said Bergeron, who added, “Don't rule out one of those April Fool's snowstorms, as we have had plenty of those over the years.”

The 33-year snow average for April is 4.4 inches. The maximum for April was 17.5 inches.

Bergeron was one of those who felt the pull of spring skiing as he traveled to work Tuesday morning at H.E. Bergeron Engineers after doing his weather report at 7:45 a.m. on the radio.

“I suddenly felt the pull of Cranmore and ended up there at 8:30 a.m. — it turns out the lifts didn't open until 9, however, so I had my cup of coffee and returned e-mails. Then,” said Bergeron, an avid skier as well as snowmobiler, “I had fresh tracks as I was the first one on the mountain. It was like skiing on silk!”

Cranmore Mountain Meisters hold their annual end-of-season awards party at the Eating House tonight beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Other upcoming late season events at local ski resorts include: * March 26: Black Mountain: Black Splash pond skimming, second annual Red Parka Junior Regatta for snow-worthy crafts, music by Jeff Conley and pony rides; Bretton Woods, 24th annual Beach Party; Cranmore Spring Splash at Cranmore; Redhook Fest at Cannon Mountain; King Pine, Meet Slugger the Portland Sea Dogs mascot, and Shawnee Peak, America's Mattress Race. * March 27: Cranmore Cranarchy (end-of-season rail jam and barbecue); King Pine, end-of-season pond skimming.

Shawnee Peak is closed but reopening Friday for the final weekend of the season March 26.

Local ski touring centers are going strong.

“We've got some great ski touring. We've been out grooming it,” said Bear Notch Ski Touring's Doug Garland — and that was prior to Monday's spring snow. After the storm, Garland wrote on the center's website, “We expect to be open at least two more weeks. It's the best spring skiing in years.”

Jackson Ski Touring was the big winner in the snow stakes game, as it received 12 inches in Monday's storm. Executive director Thom Perkins —

recent winner of a lifetime achievement award from the North American Snowsports Journalists Association — celebrated the new snow by tackling the always demanding Wildcat Valley Trail down the back side of Wildcat Mountain Tuesday.

The center has 141 kilometers of trails open at this late point in the season, a year that started out slow in terms of natural snowfall but which has more than made up for it since Jan. 11, when a major storm fell and coated local ski touring trails.

Great Glen Trails received more than 6 inches, and Bretton Woods added to its base with 3 inches of new fluff. King Pine is still open. The Mount Washington Valley Ski Touring and Snowshoe Association snow report for March 22 said that the network has lost several kilometers of open trails in the past two days, but still has 20k open from Whitaker Woods to the 1785 Inn. With the new snow, U.S. Forest Service snow rangers Tuesday rated avalanche danger on Mount Washington in Tuckerman Ravine as “high” and “considerable” in Huntington Ravine.

Conway budget committee Wed. to hold final meeting before the election in April

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — The budget committee will hold its final meeting before the April 12 elections on Wednesday at town hall at 6:30 p.m. It will be an opportunity to tie up loose ends from this past season said chairman Dave Sordi.

"This will be our last meeting until after the vote in April," Sordi said by phone Tuesday afternoon.

The posted agenda lists the approval of minutes followed by old and new business.

"I'm going to read a couple of emails to the board into the record," Sordi said. "I'll talk a little bit about what my understanding of the vote in April will be so people know what our opportunities are. Each of the board members will have an opportunity to talk (about the past season)."

The budget committee came under so fire at the deliberative portion of annual school meeting on March 9 after six members voted for an 11 percent cut to

the school budget, representing a cut in the neighborhood of $3.6 million. Voters however elected to restore the full 11 percent, something the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration will rule on the legality of such a move next month.

According to DRA rules, voters are allowed to modify the budget committee’s recommendation by as much as 10 percent at the deliberative meeting. Given the 11 percent, the Conway School Board is bracing for a possible challenge by the DRA and therefore plans to cut $1.5 million from its budget on Thursday as a precautionary measure.

Thursday's meeting will be held in the Conway Professional Development Center at the Kennett Middle School at 6 p.m.

"I think the school board needs to be prepared," Sordi, who may attend the meeting, said. "I think (the cuts) really depends on the number of warrant articles approved. (The school board) needs to be prepared for any eventuality."

THE ENTREPRENOLOGIST

The School Budget, Charlie Sheen and Chili

BY MICHAEL KLINE OK, this week I admit, I’m intentionally being provocative in my title! However, we’re going to cover all three topics and learn something in the process. The world has changed almost immeasurably in the last month. Between Japan and the Middle East, I wouldn’t know where to begin.

The great teacher Dr. Stephen Covey suggest we put all these things that concern us into our “circle of concern” and put everything we have some influence over into a smaller “circle of influence.” The more we focus our energy on our circle of influence, the larger it grows and the more effective we will be.

In our local circle of influence during March, we had the Michael Kline school budget, our response (if any), to Charlie Sheen, and the annual Chilly Chili Cook-off in North Conway Village. All three have lessons and observations worth considering.

Last year, I spoke at the annual business expo and talked about four major challenges facing business today and what to do about them — they were execution failure, a lack of trust, doing more with less, and dealing with fear. Well hello future! Here we are experiencing exactly these challenges in business, government and local boards.

The school budget seems to be on everyone’s lips these days. I’m sorry I missed it; it’s just not the same watching a recorded version and hearing the analysis of others. I’m pleased to see so many people caring enough to turn out and express themselves. I’m also grateful for the few who volunteer to serve on these boards for what must be the most thankless job ever.

What have we learned from the big meeting?

We’ve learned that angry mobs win in Conway, not so much in Wisconsin. We’ve learned that bullying is a problem in schools and sometimes it even involves students. We’ve learned that most people want their own needs satisfied first before they will listen to the position of others. This last one is at the route of most stalemates and is most unfortunate. If it were a different day, at a different meeting, say on taxes, the same people who wanted to lynch the budget committee would have elected them to the legislature – I think they might have been called tea-partiers, who won a lot of elections with generalized anti-tax talk that pleases people until the people discover they were the ones to be cut.

None of this is easy, but it is pretty simple. We as a community, like any business or organization, need to decide on our priorities. Is it low taxes or better education or some combination?

To do this, we need to be able to communicate intelligently and with good data and without fear or intimidation. A good time to do this would be at the many, many meetings that happen all year long; not just to complain after the hard work is completed by others. see KLINE page 14

A tough time for bed-andbreakfast operators; strong year for large chain hoteliers

BY TOM EASTMAN BARTLETT — Earle Wason, of Wason Associates Hospitality Real Estate Brokerage Group of Portsmouth and Freedom, says it is a tough time for any business owner — particularly those who purchased bed-and-breakfast inns during the height of the boom.

“We are slowly working our way out and things are improving,” said Wason. “We are seeing a little light at the end of the

tunnel in every aspect — there are more buyers out there, but there are still problem properties who have to work their way through. There were many properties purchased by people who paid too much and did not understand how to operate them.”

A case in point he said is the Snowvillage Inn, which was put up for foreclosure auction Jan. 21 but was taken back by the mortgage lender, Northway Bank, because the bank’s opening bid was not matched, making short

work for the auctioneer, according to a person who attended the auction.

Last April, two formerly related, adjacent inn properties in Glen were sold at foreclosure: The Bernerhof Inn was sold for $295,000 to local Realtor Dick Badger of Badger Realty of North Conway, and the adjacent Red Apple Inn was sold for $500,000 to the Jan and Charless Filip family, owners of the nearby Story Book Inn in Glen.

CONWAY — On the heels of $6 million in capital investment last fall under new ownership, Cranmore Mountain Resort has announced plans for its new Cranmore Mountain Adventure Park to open for summer operations starting May 28, Memorial Day weekend.

The park will feature a new Aerial Adventure Park, with a

ropes course, zip lines and air bridges, as well as the Cranmore Mountain Coaster, which opened in November.

Cranmore Mountain’s move into year-round operations is part of its revitalization started last June when the venerable resort was purchased by the primary owners of Jiminy Peak Resort in western Massachusetts.

“Cranmore has been known as North Conway’s premier ski destination for almost 75 years,” said Cranmore president Ben Wilcox, “Now, with the opening of our new Mountain Adventure Park, Cranmore will once again welcome summer visitors. We anticipate attracting tens of thou-

MARK ON THE MARKETS

Fed on the hot seat

BY MARK PATTERSON Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the Federal Reserve has worked himself and our country into a very tenuous spot. First let me say that what Bernanke did to keep the United States from going into meltdown a couple of years ago is not what I am criticizing him for. It can be easy to Monday morning quarterback the decisions that were made by him and others at the time of extreme crisis, but it is not that time that concerns me.

The time over the last year is when I believe that has the fed chairman resembling a hamster on a wheel, running and going nowhere except maybe backwards.

After the “crisis” was over and interest rates were at zero, Bernanke had run out of bullets to add liquidity to the markets that in theory keeps banks lending money to business, keeps interest rates low for the consumer and small business. However the banks were not really lending money, the consumer was tapped out and small business was in survival mode, not looking to expand.

Then comes quantitative easing, which was the purchase of our own treasury debt, with our own money.

This is analogous to borrowing from a credit card to pay a credit card.

The underlying damage was and is to our currency values. Bernanke jus-

tifies this need for QE because the employment picture is still not good in this country. Bernanke should know and probably does, that American business has learned that they can be more profitable with fewer employees and there are too many unanswered questions regarding health care and taxes to justify adding employees. Therefore I believe that this unemployment situation is not temporary. What a convenient reason to continue QE 2 and even QE 3, 4 and 5.

Quantitative easing has inflated assets like stocks and commodities; the “wealth effect” is in full swing because the stock market has gained back a good share of losses.

Commodity prices such as oil, gas and many agricultural items are very high and look to go higher. The dollar can’t gain any traction, even with world events that previously drove investors to the U.S. currency.

Runaway inflation will force the Fed to discontinue QE, maybe, or will the inflation numbers not truly reflect where we are?

The wheel is turning faster and the Fed is looking for a way off.

HOTELIERS from page 10

The renovated Bernerhof is now open as an inn only and no longer also operates as a restaurant. The Red Apple is expected to re-open this spring.

“The bed-and-breakfast market is really struggling, because they paid too much and the market has changed, too. Consumer expectations have changed,” said Wason.

He said the arrival of the Marriott Residence Inn on the Route 16 strip last year had two impacts.

“The Residence Inn came into town and did well immediately.

It was absorbed into the market in Year 1 — they created more market demand, because the other competitive properties — the Comfort Inn, the North Conway Grand, the Green Granite, the Holiday Inn Express, the Hampton Inn — all did better than they did in 2009.”

But the downside, said Wason, was that the “ma and pa” motels did not do as well.

“The demand grew for the other larger properties,” he said, “while at the same time, the smaller properties got hurt further.”

So, while that does not come as good news for the older-styled motels, Wason says it does mean that “the town base is growing.”

“It shows that there is a demand

to be in Mount Washington Valley,” he said.

He repeated an assertion by Dick Badger of Badger Realty and Bayard Kennett of RE-MAX Presidential that businesses need to always upgrade their properties to remain viable.

An example of a longstanding hotel business making a huge upgrade in recent years was the Red Jacket Mountain View, which opened in the early 1970s, underwent renovations in the late 1990s, and which in 2008 added its Kahuna Laguna indoor water park.

Chuck Randall, assistant general manager, said last month that the Red Jacket has experienced strong sales since that time.

“Branding is what it is all about and the Red Jacket, while not part of a national chain, is an identifiable New England brand with a strong following, with our properties here and on the Cape,” said Randall, noting that the company also operates the nearby Fox Ridge Resort in North Conway during the warmer months.

As for the impact of the national chains, Randall said, “The addition of the Marriott or others is taking just another slice of the pie by adding another 100 rooms or more. It has not had any

significant impact on our business, but I would agree that it hurts the ma and pa motels more than us.”

Wason said perhaps the local business community needs to have a forum on growth and how to deal with the influx of new national hospitality businesses and restaurants into the region.

“It seems,” he said, “that a lot of people get upset when the new and more up to date properties that the consumer demands come in to the valley as they get hurt. They are so myopic that they don’t understand that they have to change and provide the consumer with what they want or else the consumer will go elsewhere. There are a lot of choices when it comes to resort communities.”

Wason said March 21 that a sale was still pending regarding the Eagle Mountain House in Jackson, a landmark resort which has been listed for sale by its board of directors. He repeated that the sale of the former Fandangle’s 2.15-acre, commerciallyzoned property near the juncture of Routes 302 and 16 at the base of the North Conway strip is also still pending.

“We are working on signing an agreement [regarding Fandangle’s],” said Wason.

KLINE from page 10

Then we need leadership to focus on what the organization (community, in this case) wants, regardless of their personal feelings or agenda. Priorities, focus and communication are paramount during these turbulent times. Building trust has to take place before we can expect real negotiations with employees or unions or taxpayers or parents. Taking full advantage of every available resource is critical — that means getting these good and caring people off the bleachers and onto the committees and attending meetings year-round to give their valuable input and creativity. This also means appreciating the talent we have in our teachers, most of whom give more than they get. We also need to appreciate and respect the taxpayer and look for efficiencies wherever they might be found.

Thank goodness Charlie Sheen wasn’t on our budget committee, and that’s all I have to say on that subject!

The annual Chilly Chili Stroll was a fantastic example of how well our community works together when there is vision, leadership, trust and communication. Forty three (yes, 43) different chili chefs, 13 separate venues throughout North Conway Village, and numerous volunteers to deal with traffic, parking, setup, take down, clean up, promotions, supplies, judging, etc. One seemingly simple event (they’re never simple), brilliantly executed, delivered enjoyment to hundreds of visitors and locals alike, while driving foot traffic to our local stores and restaurants while building friendships and community. Yes, it was easier than running a school district, but harder than running some small businesses. My point is, it’s a great example of how well we can work together one little project at a time. I can hardly wait to be amazed once again by Valley Pride day on May 7 and Kindness Weekend May 28. We’re lucky to live where we do and to enjoy seemingly endless opportunities to be happy and to constantly be getting better at anything we decide to make better. We just need to decide.

Fryeburg Town Column

Robin Johnson ravenstone54@hotmail.com

Parent-teacher association looking for donations for auction The budget crunch is on here in Fryeburg, as it is many communities.

Budget committee meetings will be held on the next two Monday evenings at the town office at 6 p.m. and interested parties (and that should include all taxpayers), are encouraged to attend. Why wait to make your voice heard until town meeting? There's no better time to ask questions of the budget committee and your Selectmen. Budgets that have already been discussed can be viewed on DVD or on Channel three. Copies of the DVD are available at the town office and the public library. Get ready folks, there are big changes in store this year.

The Maine-ly Maple Brunch sponsored by the First Congregational Church of Fryeburg will take place on Sunday, March 27, from 11:30 a.m.

Gibson Gleanings

to 2 p.m. This yearly event, held at the Masonic Hall on Portland Street, offers some of the best homemade maple dishes around. The cost is $8 for adults, $4 for children ages five to eleven, and free for little ones four and under. The menu includes egg and cheese soufflé, bacon, maple glazed ham, pancakes, baked beans, maple Waldorf salad, muffins, sticky buns, scalloped potatoes, maple apple cake, juices and hot beverages. I dare you to find a menu like this anywhere for the price. For more information, as if you needed any, call (207) 697-3520.

The folks in charge of the upcoming Chinese/live auction to raise funds for the C.A. Snow School parent-teacher association are hoping you'll donate a new item or a gift certificate to this first annual event, which will be held on Saturday, April 9.

‘Young At Heart’ concert Sunday On the way into work this morning, I was stopped at the red light near Paris Farmers waiting to take a left turn. I checked my rear view mirror and saw three cars in line behind me. Two out of those three drivers had a cell phone to their ear. They appeared relaxed so I’m guessing neither one was making an emergency call. So here’s my question … what was so important that they couldn’t wait to make or take those calls. C’est la vie!

Believe it or not spring has finally arrived and at this point, most of us are looking forward to some warmer weather — without bugs. Jill has some great activities planned so be sure to check the program listings below or go to our website at www.gibsoncenter.org.

We are seeking donations for our raffle and as always need lots and lots of candy. Candy can be left at the Fryeburg Public Library and if you have any questions regarding this annual event, you can call me at (207) 935-3670. The Fryeburg Recreation Department has graciously offered the rec. field again this year. Thank you to

all who have contributed. We couldn't hold this event without the positive support from the community.

While I'm on the subject of Easter, plan to come by the Fryeburg Public Library on Saturday, April 16, from 9:30 to 11 a.m. for the second annual, "Some Bunny Loves You" Party. Deb Tait will be on hand to help the children create Easter baskets to have ready on the table for the Easter bunny to fill. We'll have refreshments and cold drinks to top off this event. If you are willing to bake something for us, we would be forever in your debt.

‘Inside Terrorism’ photography exhibit at Theater in the Wood INTERVALE — The Believe in Books Literacy Foundation is excited to host an installation of "Inside Terrorism: The X-Ray Project" at the Theater in the Wood at 41 Observatory Way in Intervale from March 24 to April 9. The exhibit will open with a gala event on March 24 at 7 p.m.

"Inside Terrorism" is a photography exhibit which uses actual X-rays and CT-scans from the two largest hospitals in Jerusalem to explore the most impor-

tant social issue of our time: the effects of terrorism on a civilian population. In this unique and haunting exhibit, viewers will experience images that will give new meaning to compassion and understanding.

“The idea for ‘Inside Terrorism’ began to coalesce in my mind in 2002 as a personal response to terrorism and to my discomfort with the way terrorism has been justified in some circles,” Diane Covert said.

The net proceeds of all activi-

ties within the 100 Acre Wood go toward their literacy programs, scholarships, and grant giving.

Tickets to this event cost $25 and will include a tour of the exhibit, a lecture by Diane Covert, the creator of the project, and light refreshments.

Meet the Lincolns Monday History comes to life at the Conway Public Library on Monday, March, 28, at 6:30 p.m.

Enlarging on a “We the People Bookshelf” grant awarded by the American Library Association, the presentation is called “Abraham and Mary Lincoln: the Long and the Short of It.” Steve and Sharon Wood, of Claremont, are historical interpreters specializing in 19th century American History. They have researched and portrayed the Lincolns since 1995 and are members of the Association of Lincoln Presenters. "Abraham and Mary Lincoln: the Long and the Short of It" tells the story of the distinctly different paths that led each of them to Springfield, Ill., where they met, married, and began a family. The years that followed their move to the White House were filled with personal and national crises. This presentation takes place in 1861, shortly after the Lincolns arrived in Washington. It is appropriate for a family audience. After the program, the Woods will step out of character and answer questions. The evening is free thanks to partial funding from the New Hampshire Humanities Council.

‘Fun with Food’ The Conway Public Library’s young adult group meets special guest Chef Remillard this week on

The early birds start at 6:30 p.m. and regular bingo at 7 p.m. Refreshments are available.

The quilt raffle for the family of Bryson Herlihy was drawn and the winner was Ellen MacDonald, of Conway. Bryson is the son of Amee and TJ Herlihy and was diagnosed with cancer last year. The quilt is a 39 inch by 50 inch child size made by Wendy Heald of East Conway on a quilting machine donated by Debbie Dyer of Brownfield, Maine. This is a unique quilt with a background of a flannel basketball theme.

The people, of the Mount Washington area, have been so supportive of the Herlihy family since the diagnosis of young Bryson’s cancer which is evident by the next fundraiser. The Kennett girls basketball team will hold a fundraiser for Bryson on April 4 with a dinner at the Woodshed Restaurant in Moultonborough. A silent auction will also take place that evening. Tickets can be bought at Combing Attractions. Amee, Bryson’s mom is a teacher at Kennett High School.

Congratulations are in order for those involved with the first annual Fryeburg Recreation fishing derby. Although the weather was really lousy more then 192 sportspeople showed up to take part.

DILBERT

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis tice. You’ll sleep soundly tonight knowing you’ve put in a solid day’s work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A new friend enters your scene with romantic potential in tow. This may not involve you directly, but you and your loved ones will be affected by the amorous influence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

All the little things about you that you think are so weird may just be the most appealing and adorable qualities of all.

So come out of hiding -- bring your quirks into the light!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Someone you know well is no longer seeing the full glory of who you are.

When another person takes note of all of your wonderful qualities, it will shake things up. Suddenly you will get the attention you deserve.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll take on an issue that affects many more people than just you. You will think of the problem differently than the others.

Because of this, you will be an important part of the solution.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A big assignment is in your future. As long as you are allotted enough time to do it well, you’ll be satisfied by the endeavor.

If that is not the case, negotiate to make it so.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 23).

Your idealistic views will lift others up.

As you strive for the highest good, you’ll be joined in your efforts. Next month brings a fresh source of income. You’ll hear loving declarations in May. June highlights far-away places and new transportation. Your studies will add up to an important decision in August. Leo and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 6, 24, 19 and 34.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will add an exciting appointment to your calendar. Make sure you tell others who might be affected by this commitment.

Communicating well now will prevent misunderstandings later.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a challenge at work. You realize that there is a limit to how much you can improve the situation without making a significant change. And yet, handling small details helps you wrap your head around the next move.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The need to feel important is in everyone to some degree. What makes you feel important is not the same thing as what makes another person feel important.

You’ll effectively cater your attention to the individual recipient.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You strive for a stress-free day and will attain it to a great degree. Keep in mind that some stress is good for you. Tranquility for too long a stretch of time will breed stagnation and boredom.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your friend needs a listening ear. Try to resist the urge to tell your own story -- especially if it happens to be more exciting and glamorous than your friend’s tale. The selfless attention you give others will be rewarded in time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You thrive when you do work that you are well suited to doing. However, the perfect work for you is not always what’s needed or wanted in the moment at hand. Remain flexible and openminded.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The challenges of the day call for boldness. You bravely speak your mind, support the side you think is right and facilitate jus-

Help Wanted

by Abigail Van Buren

FIRST-TIME MOTHER-IN-LAW LOOKS TO PRAYER FOR GUIDANCE

DEAR ABBY: I have read with interest your columns with tales of discontent involving overbearing in-laws. Some of them have been downright frightening, although, of course, not all in-law relationships are fraught with conflict.

I bring this up because I’m about to become a mother-inlaw for the first time. My oldest son will marry his longtime girlfriend early this summer. She’s a lovely girl, and we already consider her to be a cherished member of our family.

I remember a “Mother-in-Law’s Prayer” that ran in your column years ago. It was a kind of “pep talk” from a woman to herself as she approaches mother-in-law status. I found it quite humorous. Would you please reprint it for me and for other mothers-in-law as the spring wedding season beckons?

Hopefully, I won’t need to refer to it often. Also, how can I get the booklet that contains it? -- KATHERINE M., FORT WAYNE, IND. DEAR KATHERINE: Congratulations on your son’s forthcoming wedding. The item you referenced has been asked for many times.

Over the years, readers have requested that I reprint articles that have special meaning to them on subjects such as parenting, children, animals, aging, death, forgiveness, etc.

My booklet (“Keepers”) contains 72 column pieces that people have told me they kept to re-read until the pieces were yellow with age and falling apart. It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $6 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby Keepers Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are

Help Wanted LINCARE

included in the price. You’ll find stories, poems and prayers like the one below to inspire you, make you think or simply brighten your day.

If all mother-in-law relationships were judged solely by the letters in my column, many people would conclude that it’s an emotional minefield. I discussed this subject with a psychiatrist who shared that a mother-in-law who is perceived as overbearing may be one who was a conscientious mother. But now that her child is grown, she finds it difficult to relinquish her role as teacher and protector and quit “hovering” -- an interesting observation.

A MOTHER-IN-LAW’S PRAYER “O, Lord, help me to be glad when my son (or daughter) picks a mate. If he brings home a girl with two heads, let me love both of them equally. And when my son says, ‘Mom, I want to get married,’ forbid that I should blurt out, ‘How far along is she?’

“And please, Lord, help me to get through the wedding preparations without a squabble with the ‘other side.’ And drive from my mind the belief that had my child waited a while, he or she could have done better.

“Dear Lord, remind me daily that when I become a grandmother, my children don’t want advice on how to raise their children any more than I did when I was raising mine.

“If you will help me to do these things, perhaps my children will find me a joy to be around, and maybe I won’t have to write a ‘Dear Abby’ letter complaining about my children neglecting me. Amen.”
