SALT LAKE CITY (NY Times) — All museums are temples of sorts, monuments to collectors or cultures, declarations of identity, gathering places for tribute. But museums of natural history have an even more distinctive stature. Their focus is not human history, measured in centuries, but natural history, measured in eons. And their subject is not a particular culture and its accomplishments, but a world that seems to stand beyond culture altogether. Natural history museums seek their ground in the earth itself. Within the museum, walls of windows offer panoramic views of the snow-covered peaks of the Wasatch Mountain Range. A central atrium called the Canyon functions as the building’s axis. That is one reason that the Natural History Museum of Utah, which opened last fall in a new $102 million, 17-acre home in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountain Range, has such a powerful impact. Here, at Salt Lake City’s edge, above the geological shoreline of the ancient Lake Bonneville, the earth is vividly present: seen in nearby snow-covered mountains, in the winding hiking and biking path that runs past the museum, and in the untouched land above. Most natural history museums are in urban centers, offering reminders of a distant natural world, but this one is housed in the realm it surveys; it is at home.

U.S. Sergeant charged with 17 counts of murder KABUL, Afghanistan (NY Times) — Staff Sgt. Robert Bales was charged on Friday with 17 counts of premeditated murder and six counts of assault and attempted murder in connection with a March 11 attack on Afghan civilians, American forces in Afghanistan said. If convicted of premeditated murder, Sergeant Bales could face the death penalty, according to the announcement, which also stated that a minimum penalty on the
charge is a life sentence with the possibility of parole. Afghan and American officials have said that Sergeant Bales, who is 38 and had been serving his fourth combat tour overseas, walked away from his remote base in southern Afghanistan and shot and stabbed members of several families in a nighttime ambush. Afghan officials initially announced that 16 people were killed in the rampage; at
least nine were children and some others were women. The Army has not suggested a motive. But the charges, which were announced in a six-paragraph statement Friday from United States forces, said Sergeant Bales was accused of killing 17 Afghan civilians. The statement did not include details of the crimes, and it did not account for the larger number of dead. Afghan officials on Friday stuck to the initial death toll.

A museum is a place where one should lose one’s head.” —Renzo Piano
WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The White House on Friday named Jim Yong Kim, the president of Dartmouth College and a global health expert, as its nominee to lead the World Bank. That makes Dr. Kim the frontrunner to take the helm of the multinational development institution on June 30, when its current president, Robert B. Zoellick, will step down at the end of his five-year term. Tradition has held that Washington selects the head of the World Bank and Europe the leader of its sister institution, the
International Monetary Fund, since they were founded during World War II. Dr. Kim’s name was not among those widely bandied about since. Zoellick announced his plans to move on last month. Highly respected among aid experts, Dr. Kim is an anthropologist and a physician who co-founded Partners in Health, a nonprofit that provides health care for the poor, and a former director of the department of H.I.V./AIDS at the World Health Organization.
(NY Times) — A federal magistrate judge on Thursday ordered the Obama administration to alert drug makers that the government may soon ban the common agricultural use of popular antibiotics in animals because the practice may encourage the proliferation of dangerous infections and imperil public health. The order, issued by Judge Theodore H. Katz of the Southern District of New York, has the effect of restarting a process that the Food and Drug Administration began 35 years ago in hopes of preventing penicillin and tetracycline, two of the nation’s most popular antibiotics, from losing their effectiveness in humans because of their widespread use in animal feed to promote growth in livestock like chickens, pigs and cattle. The order comes two months after the Obama administration announced restrictions on agricultural uses of cephalosporins, a critical class of antibiotics that includes drugs like Cefzil and Keflex, which are commonly used to treat pneumonia, strep throat and skin and urinary tract infections.

It was a short winter for bears, too BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
BARTLETT — If you think it was a short winter, you’re not alone. The state’s black bear population feels that way, too. Many bears went to den later than usual last year due to unseasonably warm temperatures and have awoken after their short winter naps and are hungry. New Hampshire Fish Game traditionally asks Granite Staters to take down their bird feeders on April 1 but has already issued that request, urging that feeders be removed by March 15. Bruin sightings have been reported in Bartlett and Jackson in late February and early March. “It has been an odd year for bears,” New Hampshire Fish and Game Bear project leader Andrew Timmins said. “Bears remained very active during December and early January. In late January, multiple calls came in reporting bears wandering around homes feeding on dropped wild apples and bird seed. Also, we experienced a phenomenal beechnut crop last fall. Bears fed heavily in beech groves into December and likely will again this spring. These nuts will provide bears an important food source this spring for a month or two.” Timmins said even if there are leftover nuts in the woods, bears will take advantage of bird seed and other attractants found around homes. “Black oil sunflower seeds are simply too high a quality of food (high in fat and protein) for bears to ignore,” he said. “Furthermore, if bears have previously found sunflower seeds at your home, they will be back looking for more.” Timmins said bears den primarily to avoid being active during a period of time when food is limited. “Weather conditions do play a role in the timing of den entry and emergence, but the influence of weather on denning behavior is less significant than food availability,” he said. “Select favored bear foods were abundant last fall and will continue to be available to bears for a limited time this spring. Additionally, there is limited snowpack around the state, so bears can easily find food in leftover fall mast. The bottom line — bears are not going to wait to the official end of winter to emerge from dens this year.” The best way to prevent attracting bears is to take your bird feeders down and keep them down until Dec. 1, and secure other household food attractants.
Securing garbage is just as important as removing bird feeders. If you secure your garbage and remove feeders, you have addressed the two temptations that cause the vast majority of bear/ human conflicts in New Hampshire. “Removing these two common attractants will go a long way towards reducing the number of annual bear complaints,” Timmins said. “Keep in mind that spring is a critical time for bears, as the greatest nutritional stress on a bear occurs during the first two months after they emerge from dens. During the denning period, bears typically lose 25 percent of their body weight, and a lactating female with newborn cubs may lose as much as 40 percent.” According to Timmins, the New Hampshire black bear population remains stable, with a statewide population of approximately 5,000 bears. Homeowners should take action to reduce the chances of a bear visiting their home. Avoid encounters with bears by taking a few simple precautions: Prevent bear visits by taking a few simple precautions: Stop all bird feeding by April 1, which is when most bears have ceased denning. Clean up any spilled birdseed and dispose of it in the trash. Secure all garbage in airtight containers inside a garage or adequate storage area, and put garbage out on the morning of pickup, not the night before. Avoid putting meat or other food scraps in your compost pile. Don’t leave pet food dishes outside overnight. Clean and store outdoor grills after each use. Never intentionally feed bears. These steps will help to ensure that your backyard does not become attractive to bears. This is important because it prevents property damage by bears and because it keeps bears from becoming “nuisance” animals. “The surest way to avoid bear/ human conflicts is to keep your yard free of attractants,” Timmins said. “You may need to take additional steps. For example, dumpsters should have a locking metal top that prevents access by bears, and beehives and livestock should be protected with an electric fence. To avoid bear-related conflicts, prevent bears from visiting and, most of all, from getting in the habit of finding food on your property.” For more information on preventing conflicts with black bears, visit www. wildnh.com/Wildlife/Somethings_ Bruin.htm.

Tele-Talk What did you think of the warm weather we had this week? The bad news? Some ski areas have closed earlier than usual; snowmobile season is over after just barely getting started; and there’s no ice left for ice climbers. The good news? Golf season opens Saturday in North Conway; the roads are clear for motorcyclists, bicyclists and runners; and the peepers are peeping. Unprecedented warm weather earlier this week has been the talk of the town. Five straight days of records were set in North Conway, with the temperature hitting or approaching 80 degrees three of those days. It was even balmy on the top of Mount Washington, which saw a reading of 51 degrees on Wednesday, breaking the previous March 21 record of 43 degrees. By Friday afternoon, cooler, more seasonable temperatures were blowing in. And we’re not out of the woods in terms of snow. April has fooled us before. This week’s question is: What did you think of the warm weather we had this week? Call 733-5822 Saturday and Sunday and leave your comments on our machine.

IN REVIEW NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Overtones from the 1960s In classical music an overtone is what’s present but not easily discernible. The beauty of Brahms’ music is enhanced by resonances you can barely hear. The clear, inspiring musical utterances of Bach are enriched by Byzantine harmonic structures. So, too, with the unfinished symphony of the 2012 Republican presidential nomination struggle. This campaign may sound like an atonal string quartet by Schoenberg. But listen carefully — search beneath the discordant notes — and you may determine that the strains you hear, of ideologues fighting regulars, of a party steeped in primogeniture struggling with questions of entail, of a movement coming to blows but not to peace over the nature of conservatism, are overtones of 1964 and 1968. It is not entirely a coincidence that in both those long-ago years Gov. George W. Romney of Michigan, the father of the 2012 contender, looms as a prominent figure. Former Gov. Mitt Romney’s father was one of the giants of Republican politics then — the former chief of American Motors Corp. and one of the masterminds behind the famous Rambler automobile, known for its reputation, as the GOP in that day was, as smart and thrifty. Then, as now, the Republican Party was undergoing one of its periodic changes. Americans of a certain age grew accustomed to regarding the Republicans as the models of stability, committed in their policies as in their own profile to resisting change rather than promoting it. But that is a lazy misreading of the party, which began as an ardent advocate of a strong federal government (and of civil rights). The Republican Party has been changing and evolving for generations. In the mid-1960s, new forces and personalities rocked what seemed for a while like the classic party of social rest, propelling the Republican Party rightward, adding emotional energy and intellectual power to conservatism even as it moved away from the comfort zone of moderate American politics. The engine of this transformation was Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona, a handsome Western romantic and political realist as much at ease on horseback as President Lyndon B. Johnson, perhaps even more so. Standing against that rightward movement were three Republican governors, William Scranton of Pennsylvania, Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York — and George Romney. How significant a threat to the Democrats was Romney? John F. Kennedy believed he might be facing the Michigan governor in 1964, according to the recently released Jacqueline Kennedy tapes. In his newest LBJ volume, “Passage of Power,” to be published May 1, Robert A. Caro writes that on the day after Kennedy’s assassination, George Romney called the White House from National Airport to see if he could arrange a meeting with the new president. Johnson, who thought Romney might be his opponent 11 months later, picked up the phone himself. The struggle for the 1964 GOP presidential nomination was bitter and brutal — exceeding “in savagery and significance,” as political chronicler Theodore H. White would write, “any other in modern politics.” Commentators write easily about periodic struggles “for the soul of the Republican Party,” but the 1964 contest, in which Goldwater forces argued that “in your heart, you know he’s right,” was worthy of the description. The new Goldwater conservatism was what Atlanta Constitution editor Eugene Patterson described as a
David Shribman
“federation of the fed-up,” a description that might be applied to today’s conservatives. Goldwater had been one of those who encouraged George Romney to run for governor in the first place. Indeed, the two seemed broadly similar — “rugged and amiable men from the West,” according to Clark R. Mollenhoff in a 1968 biography, “and each said just about what he thought on even the most controversial issues of the day.” But as Goldwater closed in on the nomination, Romney worried that in the rush to the right, the ethos of the Rambler automobile — “a happy medium,” in the description of Tom Mahoney in his 1960 Romney biography, “offering the interior space and comfort of big cars and at the same time the ease of handling and economy of small cars” -- was being jeopardized inside the GOP. Later, when he was trying to win passage of an anti-extremism plank in the platform, Romney employed a vivid automotive metaphor. He said the Republican Party ought to have a “big wheelbase.” Today his son faces many of the same pressures — but has taken a different path. Mitt Romney is a born moderate, reared at the private Cranbrook Schools to be accommodating. But he learned at Harvard Business School to be calculating, and he knows that he cannot win the nomination of the modern Republican Party without appealing to the GOP’s new base, which views moderation as, to employ the famous Goldwater phrase, “no virtue.” The younger Romney has reason for this reckoning. Look, for example, at the exit polls this month from Alabama, a state the Republicans have won in every election since the Goldwater campaign with the exception of 1976, when a Southerner, Jimmy Carter, was the Democratic nominee. Only 5 percent of Alabama Republican voters described Romney as a “true conservative”; some 51 percent applied that description to former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania. Which brings us to the 1968 election, when the older Romney was again regarded as a leading contender. His campaign was sunk by his famous remark about getting “the greatest brainwashing that anybody can get” in Vietnam, though if you go back and watch the television broadcast you might find little fault with his comments. That’s not what’s relevant here. The year 1968 was the breakthrough election for the Republicans in the South, a political desert for them for a century. That year former Vice President Richard M. Nixon and former Gov. George C. Wallace basically split the South, which by 1980 would become a Republican redoubt. The younger Romney has been stymied from the start in the South, where Santorum has shown greater strength. Every election is bathed in overtones from the past, but in this one they are unusually audible. The former Massachusetts governor from the start has been struggling with issues first raised in 1964 and 1968, elections in which his father played important but ultimately unsuccessful roles. In the weeks to come, Mitt Romney must do more than break free from his remaining political rivals. He must break free from 1964 and 1968, and their overtones. David M.

Grateful for community response to fire To the editor: Thank you, a thousand times, to the Tamworth, West Ossipee, Sandwich, and Madison firefighters and to the rescue squads and ambulance drivers who responded to our fire in the middle of the night, Monday, Feb. 27. Those who have experienced a fire know the fear! At 2 a.m., when my husband Jim ran into the house yelling for me to call 911 because our barn was on fire, it quickly became clear that, if the firefighters didn’t arrive soon, we would lose our house too. Flames engulfed the beautiful, 130-year-old barn, filled with hay, tools, and five goats, and it went up like a matchstick. Although it felt like forever before the fire trucks rolled up our driveway, it was astonishing that in 15 minutes the volunteers were able to get from their places to ours! We’ve always been in awe of the work anyone willing to fight fires does, but our fire-
fighters go way beyond when they put their lives on the line as volunteers. We are so grateful they were there. They were quick and professional, and kind to us. We are devastated by the loss of our five beloved goats, including the two little kids we’ve been bottle feeding every six hours since January, and their home, the beautiful barn, now a charred ruin. But we are grateful, indeed, that Jim awoke and found the fire burning; that the firefighters arrived so quickly that we didn’t lose our house, as it was already hot and needed hosing down, and that we both survived. To the wonderful workers who came to our aid, and to all our friends and neighbors who sent condolences: Thank you! We are very grateful to live in such an extraordinary community, filled with loving people. Cathy Arseneault-Shea and Jim Shea South Tamworth
Should park have received state grant? To the editor: I noticed recently on the N.H. Department of Environmental Services website that Tamworth Pines Co-op has applied for and received a $7,775 grant from the state to erect fencing around their wellsite as a “Source Security Enhancement Project.” While I understand the possible need to protect large, urban and open water supplies from contamination ( terrorism, oil spills etc.), I do not understand how a pri-
vately owned, small mobile home park in a rural area can receive over $7,000 of taxpayers money for such a project. With the deficit trillions of dollars in the red and growing worse by the day, can anyone explain why us taxpayers had to foot the bill for this project? Being a privately owned park shouldn’t they have paid for this little “home improvement” themselves? John Myers Center Ossipee

Snow rangers cope with fickle conditions in Tuckerman Ravine BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
MOUNT WASHINGTON — Despite this past week’s record-breaking temperatures and the meltdown’s impact on snow conditions, the spring ski season goes on in the famed ski bowl of Tuckerman Ravine, with the best skiing to be had in Left Gully and Hillman’s Highway as of Friday. How long it will all last is the question. “It’s unusual, I would say, as I have never seen it this bare in my 22 years as a snow ranger. It’s more like May than March,” said the U.S. Forest Service’s lead Mount Washington snow ranger Chris Joosen Friday. It was yet another sunny but cooler and more windy day in the ravine, which was showing undermined snow, crevasses opening up, and dangers of falling ice — especially above the Lunch Rocks area, a popular gathering spot for spectators in the past, but a spot that snow rangers have dissuaded the public from using in recent years
because of the proclivity of boxcarsized chunks breaking hurtling down from above there on the right side of the bowl. “We’re went through an obvious warm spell this week,,” said Joosen, who like his fellow snow rangers is based out of the Androscoggin District in Gorham, “but April and May in the high mountains are weather producers and we could still see more snow. If this warm weather continues, then yes, we would have a melt-out earlier than normal. We’ve already seen it start to get colder and the refreeze happened [Thursday] night, and it’s supposed to be colder this weekend. That slows down the deterioration level. The season is not over.” Changing use patterns Use patterns have changed in the ravine over the course of Joosen’s 22-year career. He says use is not declining — it’s just that now it is more dispersed, as back-country skiers now head up there throughout the winter to enjoy the snow when it is often
more plentiful. “Spring skiing is great corn snow,” said Joosen, “but if you can come up earlier when there’s better coverage and cold snow, that’s what we’re seeing people do. Snow cover is not ultimately what it used to be in late season.” “If I had a clicker for the entire winter,” added Joosen, “I think what we would see is that the numbers aren’t declining, the numbers are spread out more into March and earlier in the winter. It used to be midweek in winter, nobody was up here — that’s changed.” “It’s all weather-dependent, of course,” he added, “as a beautiful day is a beautiful day in terms of people coming up. But,” said Joosen, “the May traffic is no where what it used to be — Victoria Day is still busy, sure, and so is the Queen’s holiday and Memorial Day. But where it was once 2,500 on a busy weekend, it’s half of that now.” Budgetary challenges Because of the constraints that all
federal agencies are facing, the forest service is relying on several volunteer organizations to assist it in its snow ranger duties. “The forest service,” said Joosen, “like many agencies, is dealing with our national deficit problems so budgets are declining. The snow ranger program is one of many White Mountain National Forest programs that are trying to do more with less.” He cited such helpful volunteer groups as the Mount Washington Volunteer Ski Patrol, the Mountain Rescue Service, the Friends of the Mount Washington Avalanche Center, the New Hampshire Outdoor Council, Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue, and Friends of Tuckerman Ravine, the latter of which is presenting its annual Tuckerman Inferno and Wildcat Wildfire Pentathlons April 21. (According to Friends of Tuckerman Ravine officials interviewed Friday, there ought to still be enough snow on Left Gully or Hillman’s Highway to hold the ski leg of the five-part Inferno see RAVINE page 14

Checking conditions in the ravine BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
MOUNT WASHINGTON — Lead U.S. Forest Service snow ranger Chris Joosen and his fellow three snow rangers (Jeff Lane, Joe Klementovich and Frank Caruss) spend seven days a week up at their Hermit Lake cabin at this busy time of the year, checking avalanche dangers and posting snow conditions and avalanche warnings on the U.S. Forest Service’s avalanche center website, www. mountwashingtonavalanchecenter.org. For Friday, it said avalanche danger in Tuckerman Ravine was “low.” With the change in temperatures, however, Joosen was cautioning skiers to be prepared. “If this week is any indication where our climate is going,” posted Joosen Friday, “I’d recommend adding Coppertone to your stock portfolio. I can barely recall mid-summer stretches that have been this nice. We are all pinching ourselves to remember it’s only the third week of March! Saying all this, we needed to be brought back to reality at some point so expect an end to the record-breaking heat and sun over the next 48 hours. Mother Nature is letting us off slowly though as another fine day is in store, but it will be a bit milder than the 80s we’ve seen over the past several days down in the valley. Summit temperatures will crawl up from their current of 29 Fahrenheit into the mid 30’s along
with winds between 65-85 mph. This should keep many high snowfields hard today and keep the mountain’s feel a bit brisk. It’s time to start changing your mindset again about what’s in your pack and assure the right clothing and gear is on board. Saturday’s conditions will add more clouds and a decreasing wind as a precursor to the precipitation on the way Saturday evening and into Sunday. Valley locations are anticipating ‘rain likely,’ albeit reasonably light with 0.1 inches predicted. Meanwhile weather models are pointing to colder air aloft, perhaps giving us something of the frozen variety up high. Check back in the Weekend Update and the Saturday advisory for better info on Sunday’s precipitation.” He said the “typical spring hazards continue to advance and are the main bulls-eye points for you to keep in mind. You can’t have fun skiing or riding if you get hurt so make these a priority in your brain’s random access memory for quick recall.” Those include: • Falling ice: “Icefall,” he writes, “is a very real threat in Tuckerman and Huntington ravines. The recent heat has begun sending ice crashing to the floor below. It’s been a bit surprising how a great deal of ice is hanging in through the heat demonstrating how unpredictable it can be. It will all come down at some point and although timing can be fickle, expect the potential to rise the warmer the temperature. Ice

fall has seriously injured and killed numerous visitors in the past. The best way to manage this hazard is to avoid spending time beneath potential icefall. Remember that ice doesn’t always fall in a straight line and it can explode into thousands of pieces as it impacts rocks. Lunch Rocks is in the path of huge amounts of falling ice from both the Headwall and the Sluice. Even though it’s been a popular place to sit for a long time, Lunch Rocks should be renamed Icefall Rocks!” • Undermined snow: “As streams melt out,” writes Joosen, “the snow from below and heat weakens the top, you stand a good chance of punching through. There are many places where the water level below the snow is up enough that you’d be in trouble if this happens. Stick to the areas where the snow is deepest and avoid thin spots near rocks and bushes.” • Crevasses: “The main waterfall hole just to the left of the Lip area has completely opened up as it does every year.,” noted Joosen in Friday’s report. “Avoid traveling too closely to the edge of this hazardous place and other openings that are developing. In addition, crevasse development has been increasing around the entire lip area and is best avoided for better skiing locations. Hiking up what you plan on descending will help tremendously to recognize all the hazards you may face.” For updates, visit www. mountwashingtonavalanchecenter.org.

when it’s held April 21 — although, they cautioned, depending on conditions, the course may have to be somewhat shortened). The Appalachian Mountain Club is also a key player when it comes to trail maintenance, education and rescues, as is N.H. Fish and Game with rescues. Stonehearth Open Learning Opportunities (SOLO) also often assists with rescues. “The big message is there is no way that the snow rangers could do it alone,” said Joosen. “We are looking for more and more partnership opportunities to keep the program levels and to continue to be able to give the public a high standard.” Educating the public on safety is just as important a role for the snow rangers as rescue, Joosen said. He said the public seems to be getting the message. “A big part for us,” he said, “is to go out and try to provide information so that they know ahead of time. One thing I like to point out,” he added, “is that when we have days of thousands in the ravine with these steep terrain issues and no one gets hurt — that the ski patrol has nothing to do that day — I think that says a lot. Compare that to a lift-serviced area. I think that’s pretty amazing.” He asserts that although skill levels and equipment have increased, there are still hazards that no skier has any control over. “People tend to be more precautionary,” he said, “and skill levels are higher, I feel. But there are all the things you can control, and then there are all the hazards.” He says that he and his fellow snow rangers (Jeff Lane, Joe Klementovich and Frank Caruss) have followed in the footsteps of such predecessors as now retired veteran snow rangers as Rene LaRoche and Brad Ray. As it was for the colorful LaRoche and Ray, who co-founded Friends of Tuckerman with Al Risch, the job is still about enjoying being up there on the mountain in all of its fickle and wild wintry ways — and helping people. “I love being in the mountains, and I love seeing people enjoy the things that I care about,” said Joosen. “We try to explain the hazards and the risks so they can have a great day. At the end of the day,” said Joosen, a friendly public servant well-known for his affable avalanche sidekick rescue dog Cutler, “it’s about seeing people down in the parking lot after a day of skiing, getting safely back into their cars with smiles on their faces. That’s rewarding for me.”

Recent rescues in Tuckerman Ravine BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
MOUNT WASHINGTON — A skier who fell near the top of the run known as the Chute in Tuckerman Ravine March 17 was airlifted by helicopter and transported by Lifeflight of Maine to Maine Medical in Portland, where he was treated for injuries and later released, according to the U.S. Forest Service. According to the forest service’s official accident report, witnesses reported that the skier, who was skiing for his first time in Tuckerman Ravine, took about two turns and pre-released from the binding of one ski. The skier fell near the top of the Chute, and then “log-rolled” before finally stopping about 200 feet above and right of Gumdrop Rocks. “Mount Washington Volunteer Ski Patrol members and U.S. Forest Service Snow Rangers responded, treated and pack-
aged the patient who was unconscious and seizing on arrival. It is unclear whether or not he impacted any rocks during the fall,” notes the report, adding, “Due to the presentation of symptoms and the calm winds, a helicopter evacuation was ordered. The ability to fly into Tuckerman Ravine is very unusual due to the preponderance of days with turbulence, high winds, limited visibility, limited landing options or all four factors at once. Fortunately, a relatively limited number of skiers were in the bowl, which reduced the risk and consequence of mishap with the helicopter.” On March 18, a skier was injured while booting up the Chute when he attempted to stop another falling skier. The patient suffered a two-inch laceration to the left ear. Mount Washington Volunteer Ski Patrol members treated and released the patient. The falling skier was uninjured.

Also on March 18, a hiker injured her knee while descending from the summit. Forest service snow rangers encountered the woman, who was a member of a guided party, at the Tuckerman/Lion Head Summer Route trail junction and transported the patient to Pinkham Notch via snowmobile-drawn litter. Average of 25 accidents per year Every year, on average, 25 people who are injured while climbing, skiing and mountaineering on Mount Washington require some type of assistance from rescue groups such as the Mount Washington Volunteer Ski Patrol and the U.S. Forest Service. Accidents range from sprained ankles to multi-systems trauma. The forest service lists incident summaries on its avalanche center website “as an educational tool in order to help prevent future accidents.”

Lowe’s Path, located in the woods, was the perfect place to try them out. We parked at Lowe’s Store out on Route 2, walked across the highway and started up the Lowe’s Path. A steady uphill pace on bare ground eventually brought us to the Log Cabin, where the ice flows began in earnest. It is well known that steep ice should be avoided as much as possible with MICROspikes. Since my buddy was fairly new to winter hiking, he used the Hillsound Trail Crampons, which had longer points and more holding power on a slope. I used MICROspikes, but since the ice on the trail was pretty soft and easy to penetrate with spikes, and the safety of dry ground and strong branches was very close by, I enjoyed a relatively safe hike up the icy section as well. In fact it was fun for both of us. Gaining height, we reached some patches of snow. In 3.2 miles, we walked up to the fine viewpoint at the lookout called the Quay, then walked on packed snow down a short spur path to Gray Knob Cabin. The door was flung wide, and the place was in spring mode. The caretaker welcomed us. We snacked, and lingered long enough
for a quick rest, then headed back out to the Lowe’s Path. Ten minutes later we were above timberline. The rocks were dry. A warm breeze blew by, milder than many an August day. For a die hard winter hiker, it was a rude awakening to have to scramble over dry sharp boulders of mica/schist towards the summit of Mount Abigail Adams (Adams 4), and then, after postholing through the long snowfield in the saddle, once again up the summit cone of Mount Adams. Although it was the second day of spring, it wasn’t supposed to be spring-like at 5,000 feet. Still, there was a strong sense of accomplishment when we arrived on top. And the view was great. There were still countless snow-filled gullies on the presidential peaks. After a deserved spring break in the warm air, we headed down, careful on the sharp rocks. After getting in the zone, timberline approached quickly. Then we donned our respective traction devices and continued down the Lowe’s Path ice ribbon. My buddy was impressed with the Hillsound Trail Crampons. Wearing them on the way down, he did things that I didn’t dare to do with MICROspikes. Though we both kept dry ground and strong branches within reach.

My aunt, who lived next door when I was a kid, always kept a clean house. At least I learned to think of it that way. It smelled like bleach, pine scented floor cleaner, potpourri carpet deodorizer and lemon furniture polish, except when she and my uncle were packing up the house in the fall to leave for Florida, when the smell of moth balls overpowered everything else. To make up for that, when they returned in the spring, she had air fresheners in every room — the white plastic upside down ice cream cone contraptions of the 80s with the mysterious hot pink or baby blue gelatinous sticky stuff inside that was supposed to smell like flowers — flowers that don’t grow anywhere in nature and are probably now encapsulated in a landfill for eternity. One of the most invigorating and long awaited moments of spring is the first opening of windows and airing of the house. Isn’t it wonderful? I’ve heard many friends and neighbors remark this week, “It feels so good... the air smells so...fresh.” Have you ever honestly heard anybody say this about an air freshener? Many people avoid using scented products due to concerns about indoor air pollution and the negative effects of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s), but we often forget about the presence of these and other toxins in products that are designed and marketed to clean our living spaces. Many of the common cleaning products in our homes are regularly exposing the people, pets, and environment we love to pollutants and

irritants. It’s easy to forget that whatever goes down the drain goes back into the water somehow or another. As you launch your spring cleaning this season, consider going green. Make your own non-toxic cleaning products. Stick with basic household ingredients that are free of phosphates, fragrance, chlorine, and antimicrobials. Green cleaning is better for your body, your septic tank, the water supply, the environment, and even your wallet. Spring cleaning tips: 1. Rethink the meaning of cleaning. If you grew up defining clean by the strong smells of chemical cleansers, going green will mean letting go of your olfactory associations and learning that clean and fresh doesn’t smell like anything at all, in the same way that good clean water doesn’t taste like anything else until you add something to it. 2. A little prevention saves time and energy. Mold and mildew like moisture. Make sure that bathroom fan is working. Keep surfaces dry with a little daily diligence. Using a squeegee in your shower or tub after use, or simply wiping it down with a microfiber cloth will make the environment less inviting and easier to maintain. Avoid clogged drains by installing drain strainers. 3. Stop sponging. The ever-moist petroleum-based disposable sponge with all its nooks and crannies is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Unless you want to encourage their colonization to new territories on the counter, stop sponging. In the kitchen, use dishcloths instead; let them dry fully between each use and throw them in the wash when they are dirty. For the tough dish jobs, consider a hemp abrasive scrubber; they are coarse, naturally antibacterial, and machine washable. see next page

DAVID EASTMAN
Country Ecology: Turkey vulture
It is hard to love turkey vultures. Even when we see one soaring high above with motionless wings on thermals, we initially hope for an eagle. Then we see that slight “vee” in the wings and know it is just another vulture. Despite their value cleaning up carrion, like ravens and crows also do, we can’t find much affection for these huge birds — even with their six foot wing span. They used to be a sight only in the southern United States, and you knew you had crossed the Mason-Dixon Line when first seeing one, but recently they have expanded their range into New England. What I learned a year ago at this time is they migrate back to local breeding grounds here in New Hampshire on the same calendar date. Bob Berti, an old forestry friend from UNH collegiate days, submitted that he had noted vultures returning on the same day for at least the last ten years running. He saw them consistently on March 21 at the confluence of the Baker and Pemigewasset Rivers. The Quincy Bog Notes Editors printed he observed them in the Nashua area generally around March 4-10; then stated the birds moved northward following the Merrimack and Pemi Rivers. But my friend, who is the editor, though confirming this fascinating observation in their newsletter, recently reported to me because of this odd year’s early spring that the vultures were already here this March 13. Board Member Berti is a successful forester in that region. see next page

4. Minimize your use of paper products. It’s time to use those old T-shirts, singleton socks, flannel shirts, and other worn out or stained clothes that are not headed for the clothing donation bin. Cutting them up into rags is a great job for kids (those who can safely use scissors). Use them for all cleaning jobs. If you just must use paper towels sometimes, purchase those with the highest percentage of postconsumer waste (PCW), and look for the Processed Chlorine Free (PCF) label. 5. Create a green cleaning kit with the following basic ingredients: • Cleaning rags • microfiber cloths • Retired toothbrushes for scrubbing the small spaces, plain dish liquid. • Castile soap — It’s vegetable based, biodegradable, and depending on what kind you get, smells like peppermint. It can be diluted and used as a foaming cleanser and works equally well
on household and body surfaces, as well as laundry. • White distilled vinegar in a spray bottle — It loosens dirt, deodorizes, and disinfects surfaces. It doesn’t leave any residue, and though it does make your house smell like salad for a few minutes, the odor dissipates completely after it dries. There is very little that can’t be safely and effectively cleaned with vinegar. Warning: do not use on marble or granite. • Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) — A great light abrasive when scrubbing is required. Make a paste with a little water. Widely respected for absorbing the smells of forgotten foods in the fridge, its deodorizing applications in the rest of the house are endless. Sprinkle some on your carpet before you vacuum. • Lemon juice — Lemon cuts grease and polishes metal, but shouldn’t be applied to acid-sensitive surfaces, like marble or granite. • Hydrogen peroxide — Screw a clean spray nozzle on the top of
the original bottle and use as a surface disinfectant. • Borax — An all-purpose cleaner for the tougher jobs (toilet bowls, moldy areas, ovens, dirty laundry, etc.) Use gloves when handling. • Essential oils of lavender and tea tree — These can be added to the other cleaning agents in your kit for antibacterial and aromatic effects. A quick internet search will help you find home cleaning formulas to meet any of your green cleaning needs. Breathe deeply and smell that fresh air.

Its purpose is to promote scientific studies of the life habits and needs of the turkey vulture, to protect the vulture and its habitat, and to inform the public of the valuable and essential services this bird provides to mankind and to the environment. Looking over various bio’s of members of its board shows their backgrounds and degree specializations. They really want to reduce conflicts for these magnificent birds, as they define them. Turkey vultures can raise only one brood a year, consisting of one to three speckled, whitish eggs. I remember one episode from my youth in Maryland. One woman said as a young girl she found a vulture deep within a huge hollow log, incubating eggs. It let out a frightening hiss and sent her exiting out of the woods for an impressive, lifetime memory. Dave Eastman also broadcasts “Country Ecology” four times weekly over WMWV 93.5 fm.

Attitash is planning to reopen Bear Peak Saturday and Sunday, but then will call it a season for both Bear Peak and Attitash March 25 rather than April 1, according to general manager John Lowell. “We will have 80 percent of Bear
Peak for the weekend, which will be a huge addition to our overall acreage,” said Lowell Thursday, who added that by having closed Bear Peak this past week, it allowed for some snow preservation.

First Church of Christ Congregational to present Pageant of the Crosses CONWAY — First Church of Christ Congregational will offer a special Maundy Thursday Pageant at the Church on Thursday evening, April 5, at 2503 White Mountain Highway, in North Conway. A simple Lenten meal will be served (free of charge) at 6 p.m., followed by the Pageant of the Crosses at 7 p.m. and a Communion service. All are welcome. Producing the Pageant is the inspiration of Don Waite, First Church member, who took his idea to Pastor Gilman E. Healy (Pastor Gil) and the Diaconate. “They were very encouraging, and Pastor Gil worked with me to put the finishing touches on the script,” said Waite. “This is really a pageant for everyone. It doesn’t matter what religion you are. In fact, I think it is a message that anyone of any religion can relate to.” “Lent is, traditionally, the season for fasting, self-denial and spiritual growth. We are invited to initiate a “spiritual spring cleaning” and take the opportunity to re-calibrate our personal relationship with Jesus Christ and our service to him,” said Pastor Gil. “In keeping with this tradition, the pageant is very much about re-calibrating our personal relationships with Jesus and our service to him.”

CROSSES from page 25
On this day, Christians remember the Last Supper during which Jesus took bread and wine and shared them with his Apostles (the basis of the Communion Service). It is also the beginning of Easter, one of the most important times of the year for Christians as it marks several major events in Christian life: the Last Supper, the Crucifixion and death of Jesus, and His Resurrection to new life. It is the fifth day of Holy Week, and is preceded by Holy Wednesday and followed by Good Friday. “The period of Lent is somber, but also joyful. The season’s biblical references encompass some of the most powerful and moving passages in the Bible,” said Pastor Gil, who has been leading a “Walk with John” Bible Study meeting every Tuesday evening during Lent. “The Pageant is, for me personally, a very moving reminder of Christ’s sacrifice on our behalf,” said Waite. “The Christian cross, one of the best known religious symbols, is accepted as a representation of Jesus who was crucified on a cross, and reminds us of the poignancy of His suffering. It also serves as a reminder of the promise of redemption that is available to each of us,” said Waite. Because the symbolism of the cross is so important to Waite he has, lovingly, hand crafted each of the six crosses that play a prominent role in the Pageant. “The six crosses, one for each of the characters represented in the Pageant, are of different sizes-small, large, light, heavy, beautiful and ugly--to highlight the fact that
the cross each of us bears in life is unique to each of us individually,” said Waite. “My personal favorite is the heavy cross.” “For me the crosses powerfully represent Jesus’ love for us, and what he did for us. The purpose of the Pageant is to highlight the fact that everybody has their own cross, or challenges, to bear in life. I hope the audience can identify with at least one of the several characters in the Pageant (all of whom are played by Church members) who each, initially, offer a different excuse for not being able to bear the cross in their lives,” said Waite. Waite was first introduced to the “Pageant of the Crosses” at the Geneva Point Center religious conference in the summer of 1975 in Moultonborough, NH (the original version of the script emanated from the North Shore Congregational Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin). Since then, Waite has produced variations of the Pageant at several Churches. The last Pageant was very well received: said Waite. “Every seat was taken. We hope to replicate that level of attendance and enthusiasm at our April 5th pageant.” “I’m really passionate about presenting the Pageant to audiences in the Valley. Every time I am involved in a Pageant of the Crosses, I feel that God is speaking to me directly and I hope everyone in the audience will also feel the same way,” said Waite. “I’d like to give a big thank you to everyone participating in the Pageant, or who has helped make the Pageant possible.” “For me, the basic message of the Pageant is that we should accept what life brings us, and that we are called to make room for Christ in our lives.”

We are welcoming spring, yet it seems like summer! My husband and I were driving home from Bangor last Sunday, and the temperature was 77 degrees at 4 p.m. ... and that was technically still winter! My tulips, daffodils and paperwhites are all up 6 inches. It is hard to believe that it is still March. I am sorry to say that my rhubarb does not appear to have survived the winter (or my gardening). This warm weather makes going to the White Mountain Aquatic Center so much nicer. We will enjoy swimming there, and it won’t be uncomfortable going home with wet hair, since it is so warm outside. Swimming
%RUQ WR EH H[WUHPH
is such a great form of exercise. It provides resistance, endurance, and weight training, without the jarring joint stresses of traditional aerobics. A person can swim fast enough to get an endurance work out, or at a comfortable pace to allow the joints range of motion training. Swimming is wonderful for people with compromised joints, like arthritis, to comfortably increase ones range of motion. We are hoping to get enough interest in the swimming to be able to start a regular Gibson Center Swim Time at the White Mountain Aquatic Center.
~ Merriman House ~ Our mother Eleanor “Peanut� Sutton was there for six months. One of us was up there every day. I have never met a better group who care so much about the people that they care for. I have never heard a cross word no matter what was done to them. To my family we are so thankful to the wonderful staff that works at the Merriman House. From the very top people to the very bottom. They have so much love for what they do. There is no way to let you know just how thankful we are. God Bless and Take Care of you all! Jackie & Paul LeBlanc, Bill & wife Ann, Clay & wife Darlyne

UNH Extension plans pruning workshops for upcoming week At the selectmen’s meeting, Brian Taylor, the health officer, reported on his visit to Golden Oaks. He found numerous problems. Most serious appears to be the problems associated with the ability of emergency services to access the property. The roads are bad and the house numbers do not necessarily coincide with E-911. The selectmen will take this up with Brad Donaldson for remedy. The selectmen also voted to aid Nancy Drew, the woman whose home on Bald Hill Road was destroyed by fire. Albany will order a dumpster for her so that the property can be made safe again.

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis week. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You notice everything now. You may obsess over minor elements that no one but you will care about, and that’s what makes your work great. Excellence is in the details. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You need someone and don’t realize it. Reach out. Dare to be vulnerable. Ask questions. Otherwise, you will continue to feel like you have it all together, not knowing the difference. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It will be necessary to spend most of your time in the planning and preparation stages of a project. This leads to success. As long as you have the right tools, you’ll see a job through to the end. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have talents that can be traced back to your ancestral roots. You may get the sense that as you develop and take these gifts into the world, your family smiles on you from the great beyond. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your attention is a force at work. You don’t fully understand the extent of it. It will be as though part of the universe awakens because you acknowledge it. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 24). You’ll be drawn to mysterious situations, and your work is more delightful because you don’t quite know how things will turn out. Relationships either feel right or not, which makes navigating your personal life rather simple. Heed your instincts, and love is light and enjoyable. May and July are stellar for finance. Sagittarius and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 21, 38, 23, 44 and 48.
Get Fuzzy
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will teach others how to be self-sufficient. It’s a gift that goes beyond anything material you could offer. Your students might not understand the value for years to come, but eventually they will get it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may feel helpless to do anything about today’s strange scene, but that’s where you’re wrong. Circumstances change simply because you observe them. You’re stronger than you know. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You could be tricky if you wanted to be, but you’ll probably see no need since people give you exactly what you want when you ask for it in a straightforward and sincere manner. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be drawn to those who are trying to go beyond themselves to accomplish, learn or share something. You belong in this group, as you stretch to do, understand and give more. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The world seems to be assessing just how tough you are. You may feel emotionally raw by the end of the day. There are those who would thrill to give you caring attention, help and love. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re getting to be well known for the fact that you follow through. It doesn’t matter if it’s a small matter or a big one. You make sure to complete the cycle of each action you take on, and this makes you lucky. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may not feel inclined to work or think hard. You’re not being lazy. Your body and mind are telling you that you need time to rest and process the events of the

Yesterday’s Answer
THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, March 24, 2012— Page 31
Today is Saturday, March 24, the 84th day of 2012. There are 282 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 24, 1765, Britain enacted the Quartering Act, requiring American colonists to provide temporary housing to British soldiers. On this date: In 1832, a mob in Hiram, Ohio, attacked, tarred and feathered Mormon leaders Joseph Smith Jr. and Sidney Rigdon. In 1882, German scientist Robert Koch (kohk) announced in Berlin that he had discovered the bacillus responsible for tuberculosis. In 1932, in a first, radio station WJZ (later WABC) broadcast a variety program from a moving train in Maryland. In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a bill granting future independence to the Philippines. In 1944, in occupied Rome, the Nazis executed more than 300 civilians in reprisal for an attack by Italian partisans the day before that had killed 32 German soldiers. In 1955, the Tennessee Williams play “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” opened on Broadway. In 1958, rock-and-roll singer Elvis Presley was inducted into the Army in Memphis, Tenn. In 1980, one of El Salvador’s most respected Roman Catholic Church leaders, Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero, was shot to death by a sniper as he celebrated Mass in San Salvador. In 1989, the supertanker Exxon Valdez ran aground on a reef in Alaska’s Prince William Sound and began leaking 11 million gallons of crude oil. In 1999, NATO launched airstrikes against Yugoslavia, marking the first time in its 50-year existence that it had ever attacked a sovereign country. One year ago: The Census Bureau released its first set of national-level findings from the 2010 count on race and migration, showing that Hispanics accounted for more than half of the U.S. population increase over the previous decade, exceeding estimates in most states as they crossed a new census milestone: 50 million, or 1 in 6 Americans. A private funeral was held at Forest Lawn Cemetery for Elizabeth Taylor (the service began 15 minutes behind schedule in accordance with the actress’ wish to be late for her own funeral.) Today’s Birthdays: Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti is 93. Fashion and costume designer Bob Mackie is 73. Actor R. Lee Ermey is 68. Movie director Curtis Hanson is 67. Rock musician Lee Oskar is 64. Singer Nick Lowe is 63. Rock musician Dougie Thomson (Supertramp) is 61. Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger is 61. Comedian Louie Anderson is 59. Actress Donna Pescow is 58. Actor Robert Carradine is 58. Actress Kelly LeBrock is 52. Rhythm-and-blues DJ Rodney “Kool Kollie” Terry (Ghostown DJs) is 51. TV personality Star Jones is 50. Country-rock musician Patterson Hood (Drive-By Truckers) is 48. Actor Peter Jacobson is 47. Rock singer-musician Sharon Corr (The Corrs) is 42. Actress Lara Flynn Boyle is 42. Actress Megyn Price is 41. Actor Jim Parsons is 39. Actress Alyson Hannigan is 38. NFL quarterback Peyton Manning is 36. Actress Jessica Chastain is 35. Actress Lake Bell is 33. Rock musician Benj Gershman (O.A.R.) is 32.

SON’S INATTENTION THREATENS MOM’S CONTACT WITH GRANDCHILD
DEAR ABBY: My handsome, 21-year-old son, “Dylan,” has a beautiful girlfriend and a 14-month-old child. They have been together for three years. Dylan works out of town. He gets back late on Friday afternoons and leaves again on Sunday afternoon. The problem is, he goes to bed soon after he gets home and then goes out on Saturday, returning at about 2 a.m. or so Sunday morning. He spends very little time with his girlfriend and their child. Otherwise, he’s good to them, provides a good home and most things they need. But he doesn’t give them attention or love. I’m afraid Dylan’s girlfriend is getting fed up with this. She’s a good “wife” and a wonderful mother, but if she leaves, I’m afraid I won’t get to see my grandchild. Please tell me what to do. (Dylan’s father isn’t in the picture.) -- AFRAID OF THE FUTURE IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR AFRAID: Was Dylan’s father ever in the picture? If he wasn’t, it’s possible that Dylan has no concept of how to be a good father or partner. The first thing you should do (if you haven’t already) is talk to your son about this. Regardless of how he reacts, continue to be a loving, honest and supportive friend to Dylan’s girlfriend. Because your son’s relationship with the mother of his child probably won’t last, make sure she understands that you care about her and always want to be a part of her and your grandson’s lives. DEAR ABBY: I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder five years ago. I take my medicine and have been doing fine. The only thing missing in my life is love. I finally met a man, and we have been slowly getting to know each other over the past three months. He talked about
wanting to become a couple, and so I decided I needed to tell him about my illness. He said he wants to keep seeing me, but we need to talk more before we decide on anything longterm. All of a sudden, I feel depressed. It’s not fair that this illness “chose” me. I have never done anything that could have caused this. Do you think I’m still capable of finding longterm love? Why do I feel more depressed now than I ever have before? -- ACHING IN ILLINOIS DEAR ACHING: You are probably feeling more depressed than you ever have before because you have a lot of emotion riding on this relationship, which may be threatened because of the stigma and misunderstanding by many people on the subject of mental illness. I do think you are capable of finding a long-term partner, and I respect you for telling him the truth. What he said was not a rejection. You have known each other for a relatively short time. He wants to get to know you better, and you should allow him the time to do that. This is how all meaningful relationships develop. P.S. If you continue to cycle into depression, please alert your psychiatrist. DEAR ABBY: As I was getting into a hot tub, a woman sitting in it said, “Are you prepared to pay child support?” When I asked what she meant, she replied, “Some women get pregnant from being in a hot tub with a man.” Is that possible? -- JON IN CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA DEAR JON: It’s an urban myth. What happened was the women became pregnant after meeting a man in a hot tub.

HOME OF THE WEEK
REAL ESTATE CORNER
Does your bum fit the seat? BY JASON ROBIE I write this today with a smidge of trepidation in my fingertips. One of the toughest phone calls to make, as a service providing professional, is the call to a client with news that the “service” is not complete. In real estate, especially in what we refer to as a “buyer’s market”, the justification conversation to an unhappy seller is not one of our favorites. So what are we to say? One of the core concepts of the Realtors organization is honesty. And just like Billy Joel says, it’s “...mostly what I need from you.” Here are a few ideas from our years of experience that might shed a little light on how to handle your home that is just not selling as quickly as you had hoped. I would first contest that the old adage “location, location, location” should be adjusted to “price, price, price.” There are a Jason Robie hundred clichés that go along with this. My personal favorites are: “A product is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay you for it.” And, “TThere is a bum for every seat.” I restored a heavily damaged Corvette a few years back. As the second child in our family, I was essentially the reason my dad had to give up his own back in the 1970s. (For some reason, Chevrolet didn’t include car seats with a 1969 t-top.) I’ve always felt a little guilty, so this was a great way to get him back behind the wheel of some muscle. The “sweat equity” involved in this kind of project is such a subjective amount, assigning a value is nearly impossible. The true value of that project is either your own personal pride or the amount of cash in your pocket that someone was willing to give you in exchange for the product. In my case, it was the look on my dad’s face when I pulled into the driveway and tossed him the keys. This car is clearly worth more to the two of us than to anyone we would find in the newspaper. We often caution homeowners about doing remodeling projects prior to selling for this very same reason. There are projects that add immediate value to a home, but doing these projects with a more generic audience in mind will be more broadly valuable and impress a larger audience. While I don’t think anyone would turn away a free 1991 ‘Vette, the resale on a more modern and reliable car would be faster and attract far more buyers. Keeping that “value” in mind, it is important to remember that buyers don’t really care how much money you “need” to get out of the sale. The amount you need to retire, move up, start a business, etc., should have no bearing on the price you set for your home. Setting your selling price based on what you think your house is worth compared to what your neighbor’s sold for is also dangerous. We all are convinced that our house is the best on the block. But, the only real opinion that matters is the buyer’s. An objective look at the house, neighborhood and overall market along with a detailed CMA should be your roadmap for pricing. see ROBIE page 40
National forest in your back yard This week’s Home of the Week is a two-story townhouse in the Cedar Creek development off West Side Road in North Conway.
CONWAY — The back deck is your doorstep to White Mountain National Forest with this twobedroom townhouse in the Cedar Creek development of North Conway. The two-story, 1,752-square-foot unit (Unit 40) is “meticulously cared for” and “looks brand new,” says listing agent Brendan Battenfelder, of Badger Realty in North Conway. It adjoins the national forest, with hiking, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling opportunities. North Conway Village is 10 minutes away; Attitash 15. Recreational amenities that are part of the Cedar Creek association include tennis and a swimming pool. Some of the unit’s interior features include an eat-in kitchen, finished basement and a master suite with views of the Moat mountains. An efficient and modern forced hot-air furnace keeps the home comfortable in the winter months. A sunny back deck looks out over an open field maintained by the association. “This is comfortable space as a vacation getaway or well-priced and efficient option for a primary residence,” Battenfelder said. Price has recently been reduced to $189,900. Battenfelder can be reached at (603) 356-5757, Ext. 336, (603) 722-0359 or brendan@badgerrealty.com.
The living room leads to the back deck.
There is an eat-in kitchen.

One of the most common hiccups we see sellers making is pricing their home based on greed instead of true market value. This is a tough pill to swallow, but it will have a significant impact on the speed of the sale and the interest in the home. Pricing your home 10 to 20 percent above the market value “just in case” you get a bite is a dangerous game to play. I will admit that it actually does sometimes work. Every once in a while, a vastly overpriced home sells because they found the right bum for that seat. But serious sellers trying to move their home should steer clear of this tactic. I know numerous brokers who will turn away a listing client for just this reason. If you want to “test the market” and sit on your home until that “one in a million” buyer comes along. I wish you all the best. When you are finally ready to get serious about selling, by all means give us a call. When I listed my house, my broker suggested small items such as adding closet doors and a few small trim pieces to “finish” up the house. While these items would not have been “deal breakers,” they eliminated them from the discussion and made the showings more seamless. We always encourage our sellers to walk through their home with objective eyes and remove any of these small issues before listing the house. If the buyers feel they will need to paint, replace carpet, improve landscaping or
some other perceived issue, the offer will be made with those costs in mind. Aside from price, that first impression is critical to the sale of your home. We have talked about it before, but it bears repeating here and is always the number two item discussed with sellers. Your house needs to be pristine, neat and clean for every showing. This includes the basement, garage and the front lawn. If the buyers can’t “connect” with your home and imagine it as their own, they will likely keep looking. Last, but not least is availability. Buyers can’t buy what they can’t see and making your home available and open 100 percent of the time is always the best option. I can tell you first hand, this is not the most convenient thing in the world, but the annoyance will pay dividends when your agent calls with that first offer. I was fortunate to have my house go under contract just two weeks after it was listed. I paid attention to the CMA my broker provided and priced it accordingly, I scrubbed and cleaned the house for every showing, enough to make mom proud, and I accommodated every request for showing regardless of day or time. The buyers clearly agreed with the value we put on the home and apparently their bum fit the seat! Jason Robie is staff writer for Badger Realty in North Conway. Phone number is (603) 356-5757.

Rates poised to rise The following is from a Mortgage Master Inc. newsletter and was submitted by Patricia Jones of Mortgage Master Inc. in Conway. So what’s up with home prices? That is, are home prices up? Over the past two months we’ve reported on a slew of data that show prices are down, but the data have been somewhat stale: much of them focused on the last quarter of 2011. Where prices are going, not where they’ve been, matters. More contemporary data — the data most likely to portend the future — show prices on the rise. RE/ MAX reports that home prices increased year-over-year in February for the first time in 18 months. RE/ MAX opines that the turnaround signifies “a very active selling season.” We agree, because the price increases were much steeper in
many local markets than we had anticipated. Miami posted a 20.5 percent year-over-year gain; Phoenix, a 12.5 percent gain; and Detroit, a 8.9 percent gain. Not so long ago, these three burgs were in full freefall mode. (When Las Vegas shows a double-digit year-over-year percentage price increase, you can be sure the recovery has spread nationwide.) The outlook is also looking rosier for new home sales. The home builder sentiment index has been rising for the past five months, and the rising optimism appears justified. Barclays Capital reports that initial data for the year are encouraging, noting that “the spring selling season has arrived strongly enough to kick-start a positive feedback loop in housing for the first time since 2005.” Barclays raised its rating on a number of home builder stocks. see next page

Signs of a sustained rebound are also reflected in mortgage purchase applications, which have been rising over the past month. The MBA reports that purchase applications are nearly 12 percent higher than where they were just a month ago and are approaching the level when the federal home-buyer tax credit fueled the market two years ago. More purchase activity is understandable: Affordability remains high and mortgage loan rates remain low. The prime 30-year fixedrate loan still hovers around 4 percent (and when we say “around” we mean mostly above lately). Rates have been on the rise, though, and this isn’t a surprise. Over the past two weeks, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note is up 30 basis points. Long-term mortgage lending rates take their queue from the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, which guides the rates on long-term mortgage-backed securities. Where the yield on the 10-year Treasury goes, mortgage lending rates generally follow.

The economy is improving and investor confidence is rising, which means investors are becoming less risk averse. We’ve been saying since the beginning of the year that we couldn’t see rates dropping materially lower. The corollary is the risk of rates moving higher is likely rising. The scuttlebutt we’re hearing is that some lenders are already looking to 4.5 percent to 4.75 percent by June. Rates are rising for a number of reasons. The economy is improving and investor confidence is rising, which means investors are becoming less risk averse. Money is flowing out of the bond market and into the stock market, thus pushing yields on bond investments higher and yields on stock investments lower. It’s impossible to know with certainty where mortgage lending rates will be in three months, but if the choice were between 3.5 percent and 4.5 percent, we’d give you dollars-todoughnuts odds on the latter.
