NEW YORK (NY Times) — Each day, and especially at night, thousands of deliverymen clatter over potholes in streets and crisscross broad delivery zones in a dash for tips. Ubiquitous but largely anonymous, they race through their rounds and deposit food with barely a word to their customers. Deliverymen and women have few defenders or advocates. Their world draws little notice from most New Yorkers, except those who view delivery bicycles as an urban menace. Complaints by residents in some neighborhoods have prompted ticketing by the police and calls to punish restaurants for their sidewalk-riding, redlight-running employees. Electric bicycles, officially banned but increasingly favored by many who deliver food, have only stoked the fire, as they have extended restaurant delivery zones and put an even greater premium on speed. And the elements of the job are a constant: nasty weather, dangerous encounters with cars and long hours for wages and tips that can fall well below the minimum wage. “It’s one of those things that New Yorkers just look away from,” said Kevin Bolger, 40, a former owner of a messenger company who has worked as a food deliveryman. “Delivery workers are like dishwashers on wheels.”

Obama: Military option on Iran not a ‘bluff’ ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
WASHINGTON (NY Times) — President Obama, speaking days before a crucial meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, stiffened his pledge to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, even as he warned Israel of the negative consequences of a pre-emptive military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Obama, seeking to reassure a close American ally that contends it has reached a moment of reckoning with Iran, rejected
suggestions that the United States was prepared to try to contain a nuclear-armed Iran. He declared explicitly that his administration would use force — a “military component,” he put it — as a last resort to prevent Tehran from acquiring a bomb. But the president also said he would try to persuade Netanyahu, whom he is meeting here on Monday at a time of heightened fears of a conflict, that a premature military strike could help Iran by allowing
it to portray itself as a victim of aggression. And he said such military action would only delay, not prevent, Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons. Obama’s remarks, in a 45-minute interview with The Atlantic magazine this week, were intended to reinforce a sense of solidarity between the United States and Israel without ceding ground on differences between Washington and Jerusalem over the timetable or triggers for potential military action.
Syria bars Red Cross convoy Former N.H. resident killed in California avalanche from fallen rebel bastion BEIRUT, Lebanon — The Syrian authorities on Friday blocked without explanation an officially sanctioned Red Cross convoy laden with food and medical supplies from entering a devastated neighborhood in the central city of Homs, one day after the army overwhelmed the main rebel stronghold there after a brutal monthlong siege. There were unconfirmed reports that Syrian security forces were conducting house-to-house searches and summary executions in the neighborhood, Baba Amr,
while the convoy of seven Red Cross trucks was parked at the edge of the neighborhood, where military sentries refused to grant it entry despite official approval 24 hours earlier. It was unclear why the Syrian military had blocked the convoy. But the convoy organizers said officials had told them that the Baba Amr neighborhood was still not safe. There was possibly a legitimate concern about mines and other booby traps, organizers said, but they were not given a precise reason.
PLACER COUNTY, Calif. (WMUR) — A man who died in a California avalanche Thursday graduated from Keene High School and later Plymouth State University. Benjamin Brackett, 29, was skiing south of Alpine Meadow Resort in Placer County when he was caught in the avalanche. He was skiing with two other people. According to the Sierra Avalanche Center, the skiers dropped a small piece of cornice onto the slope as a test, which triggered a slab a few inches deep. Brackett then started to ski, and on his third turn, he triggered a second slab avalanche that was one foot deep. He grabbed onto a tree but the avalanche pulled him away and into the trees below, the report said. Brackett was buried 3 feet deep and it took the other two skiers three minutes to get to him. Rescuers said the skiers were on rugged terrain and were tough to reach. Brackett was taken to the hospital and later died. Brackett graduated from Keene High School in 2001. Nail Envy

DiGregorio signs up for re-election as Conway selectman BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Michael DiGregorio had previously said he had no intention of running for a second term as selectman, but by Friday afternoon his name was back in the running. “I love doing what I do,” he said, “being involved in the town and community.” He had been looking at taking time away from elected office because of the time pressures, but then his family encouraged him to stay in the game. That, he said, and “I’ve just been bombarded by people for the last two weeks” urging him to run. “It’s hard to walk away from all that.” DiGregorio has a list of things he wants to accomplish, some of which he’s just started and others that are halfway to completion. “I don’t think the push I’ve had with Valley Vision has been completed,” he said. He would like to create a journalism program in the school and get kids doing live news shows. And then there is his effort to streamline local government, which
thus far he has only briefly discussed. “I’ve been the one trying to get a reevaluation of town government,” he said, possibly with a town council and an appointed mayor. He is also looking to consolidate the precincts and fire districts into the town. “With all the boards we have in town there’s more than 100 people volunteering,” he said. Consolidation would get rid of some of the vacant spots. “There’s always something to do,” he said. He was not the only candidate to sign up Friday. Benjamin Kane, Kelley Murphy, Cynthia White and Bill Masters all signed up for school board, Maureen Seavey and Peter A. Donohoe signed up for budget committee, and Barbara Douglass and Colleen Hill both signed up to run for library trustee. Incumbent school moderator Douglas Burnell also signed up to run for another term in that position, and Thomas Steele signed up to run for town moderator. No one signed up to run on Thursday, town clerk Rhoda Quint said, when a winter storm dropped more than six inches of snow.

Week
Off the Wall Some of the comments posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page this past week: Should Conway turn the streetlights back on? “Yes. I have almost hit people many times because I could not see them.. And when it’s raining at night, it’s even worse. I also think it takes away from any business wanting to stay open late because everyone thinks the whole town is closed! You know, I left this town for 22 years and the little growth amazes me. We are tourism. Let’s make this a place even more people want to visit. It’s our bread and butter!” — Rob Greenwood “I agree about almost hitting people when it is so dark, but most people don’t walk around downtown because the sidewalks are so bad and one has to climb over snow banks to reach crosswalks, but we were told probably part of a learning curve on the contractor’s part.” — Jack Heggarty “I vote for getting the lights back on. Shave costs by retrofit and new technology. Businesses like The Conway Daily Sun, the ice cream place next to Midas on the strip. They are making their electric meters spin backward with solar panels and wind turbines. Start thinking about that same opportunity to the taxpayer.” — David Robinson “We can commit funds to make this town live up to the accolades we’ve received lately — but we have to be willing to take the long view. It’s not just about seeing who is crossing the street, although that is extremely important. It is about the way we care for ourselves, our visitors and our economic future. It’s hard to say yes to spending money, it’s foolhardy to say no, when there are so many benefits both now and in the future. Clear the sidewalks, turn on the streetlights — does that not sound like a healthy town with a healthy future? Austerity is not the only answer.” — Brian Charles “Yes, please. It will be very costly to turn them back on if we turn on all the lights (commercial and residential). It’s unfortunate that when they pushed this idea in the past, it wasn’t researched to tell people that if they change their minds, it will costs a bundle to turn them back on. I think people would have been more thoughtful about turning them off in the first place. Good news is it’s not that expensive to turn on just the commercial areas. Contrary to some selectmen comments, it is not a matter of all-or-nothing to be fair. The villages and commercial district IS for all citizens, residential is very differ-

DIGEST OF STORIES IN THE SUN THIS WEEK
Saturday, Feb. 25 * Despite a lack of natural snow, ski areas report a strong first February vacation week and are optimistic heading into the second. * Chick's Home Center announces that it will move its operations to Hobbs Street in Conway Village if a proposed Walmart expansion goes through. Walmart has presented conceptual plans to expand onto the current Chick's property, and a purchase-and-sales agreement has been entered into between the two companies. * The man who died in a single-vehicle accident Thursday morning on Route 16 in Albany has been identified as Corey Boivin, 27, of Gilford. * A study committee's recommendation that Madison School District withdraw from SAU 13 receives a mixed reaction from residents at a public hearing. * Chris Bailey, a social studies teacher at Kennett High, has been named Kennett's Employee of the Month for January. ent, and not all residential areas ever had lights anyway, so to say that to be fair we have to pay to turn all lights back on, not just commercial areas, is not well thought out, in my opinion.” — Michael Kline “Not putting the lights on at night? Whoever heard of such a thing? Wonder if we did a little math, let’s see: number of businesses in downtown times gross sales, times the taxes on gross sales, then take the average increase in receipts and the increase in taxes corresponding. Let’s just see if it isn’t “slightly” more than two grand.” — David Manganis “No.” — Jessica Mixer “Too bad there is no 21st-century technology that would allow the lights to shine only when desired, like maybe some shut down when the retail stores are closed, some when the bars and restaurants are done and leave the rest on until daybreak. But then if there was a way to do that they would have figured out how to stop the Conway Village traffic lights from cycling through when no one is there.” — Brian Gillette
Tuesday, Feb. 28 * Letters and e-mails released by Conway School District show a pattern of "rude and disrespectful" behavior by school board member Randy Davison at sporting events over the past five years. * Conway police officials will be seeking preapproval from voters to apply for a grant for an additional officer. * Claims of incompetence and nepotism by the Madison road agent have led an ad hoc committee to file a series of petitioned warrant articles to be voted on at town meeting in March. One of the articles wants to make the position appointed rather than elected. Wednesday, Feb. 29 * North Conway Community Center is seeking a land swap with the town of Conway to help facilitate a $1 million expansion. * Randy Davison files for another term on the Conway School Board; Stacy Sand enters the selectmen's race. see DIGEST page 8

Do you support the proposed raises for Bartlett teachers? It's annual meeting time, and Bartlett voters will convene Tuesday night to decide how much money to allocate for education in the coming year. Among those decisions is a new two-year teachers' contract that would give 23 of Bartlett's 32 teachers $2,700 raises in each of the next two years. The teachers also received $2,700 raises in each of the past two years under the previous contract. This at a time when the economy continues to sputter and budgets are strained and very few private businesses are handing out raises. But Bartlett School Board members and principal Joe Voci defend the teacher increases as a way of rewarding and encouraging long-term commitment to the community. "We have a lot of experienced staff who have stayed and are on the top of their game," Voci said recently. Board member Dan Perley said, "It ultimately comes down to a business perspective. This says that a job well done is still recognized." This week's question is: Do you support the proposed raises for Bartlett teachers? Call 733-5822 Saturday and Sunday and leave your comments on our machine. You may fax your responses to 356-8360 or e-mail them to news@conwaydailysun.com. Comments can also be posted on The Conway Daily Sun's Facebook page. Results will be published Tuesday.

Hi! My name is Cathy
NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
What They See Is What They’ll Get BOSTON — So it continues. Mitt Romney's daily-double followed Rick Santorum's trifecta, and now the contest moves here to Massachusetts and to nine other states that together, in a Super Tuesday rush for delegates, probably won't resolve the Republican presidential race any more than the last two rounds did. But just because the race isn't resolved doesn't mean it isn't clarified. In the muddle, some things are clearer than ever. One is that there will be a lengthy Republican race. Another is that the Republicans have class divisions that mirror the ones the Democrats have been contending with for two generations. A third is that the party best positioned in a quarter-century to recapture the White House is itself so divided that a weak president grows in strength day by day. This will be a Super Tuesday like few others. The term arose after Southern Democrats, impatient with the leftward drift of a party that seemed congenitally unable to win a national election, clustered the primaries of the Old Confederacy so as to create a regional battle that would work to the advantage of a moderate, business-oriented candidate. But this is a contest of an entirely different character, mixing the old industrial heartland (and agricultural bounty) of Ohio with the high-tech suburbs of Massachusetts, the granola reaches of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, the energy environs of North Dakota and Oklahoma and the country-music ballad lands of Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia. Each of the contenders has a stronghold to defend and dangerous territory to explore. As they do so — as they speed from Idaho to the South, and then gird for the ground war in Ohio — these questions grow in importance: * What value do Republicans place on party unity? On the surface, that question focuses on the fissures that two months of hard campaigning have laid bare: between conservatives and moderates, between those who oppose big government and those who aim more at big business, between candidates who play down religion and those who emphasize it. The Michigan exit polls by Edison Research make these divisions clear. Romney prevailed among those who said they considered themselves somewhat conservative or moderate to liberal; Santorum was the clear winner among those who said they were conservative. Romney showed strength among those with incomes over $100,000, Santorum with those far less well-off. Voters who considered abortion the top issue went with Santorum; those who emphasized the budget and the economy with Romney. But in some ways that is the least interesting, and surely the least surprising, element of the party unity question. Santorum found himself in the middle of an illuminating contretemps last month when he admitted he "took one for the team" in supporting the No Child Left Behind legislation. Romney's forces pilloried him for compromising, the very venal act that Santorum has accused his rival of performing repeatedly. All this raises questions, unanswered by both men, of whether a candidate seeking to lead the country should be open to the sort of compromise that created the Constitution they would vow to protect and defend. That's a debate worth having.
David Shribman
* Are the Republicans hurt by this ever-lengthening campaign? The usual answer is that a long fight strengthens the eventual nominee, but this is not a usual campaign and there are signs this battle is not strengthening anybody but the president. The two principal candidates, plus Rep. Ron Paul and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, are drifting rightward as the calendar turns, even though the conventional formula calls for candidates to drift toward the center as the general election nears. It is a long time till November, though, and in 1960, when Richard M. Nixon won the nomination, the Republicans hadn't even voted in their first primary until later this week. But Republican leaders are worried. They'd rather have a short, crisp race than a lengthy, messy one. They will have to settle for the latter, and for the consequences. The Republican nominee will have to play the role of the king's horses in Humpty Dumpty, though in this race hardly anyone is sitting on a wall. Some Republicans worry they are reliving the 1964 Republican race, when Barry Goldwater lost 44 states. They ought to worry instead about whether they are replaying the 1968 Democratic race, when their rivals tore themselves up in the primaries and in a bloody convention and then lost a narrow contest. * Might it come down to the Pennsylvania primary, and if it does, is Santorum sunk? It might, and he probably isn't. All the political pros know Santorum was routed in his 2006 re-election battle, losing Pennsylvania by 18 points. But that is a rare example of a meaningless truth. Many Pennsylvania voters do have strong, negative feelings about Santorum, sometimes expressing them with unusual hostility. Almost none of those people will vote in the Republican primary April 24. Santorum likely will be the strong favorite in Pennsylvania, though the state's primary sets up as Santorum's version of the Romney defensive play in Michigan. Just as Romney would have been seriously wounded had he lost Michigan, Santorum would be lunch meat if he loses Pennsylvania. * Is Paul LePage right? Paul LePage is the injury-prone governor of Maine, known for his attacks on a state labor mural and his willingness to tell the president of the United States to "go to hell." But for all his stumbles, LePage may have stumbled on an inconvenient truth the other day when he suggested that the Republicans need a fresh face in the presidential race. That is like saying that a hungry child needs a hearty meal. He may not get it -- and the Republicans may not get that fresh face. It is awfully late in the contest, even though it is only early March, and the Republicans are surfeited with reluctant warriors, the 21st-century versions of Thomas Paine's summer soldiers and sunshine patriots. The remaining candidates have been saying of themselves: What you see is what you get. Increasingly it's clear that they're saying that of the Republican field as well. David M.

Your turn to voice an opinion on warrant To the editor: Next week the Conway School and Town Deliberative Sessions are scheduled for Monday and Wednesday, respectively. The budgetary issues facing us this year are just as important as last year. I believe the budget committee did a great job this year vetting the budgets from the town and school district. We discussed numerous issues with the school and town representatives, all in an effort to make sure our tax dollars are wisely spent. Now it’s your turn to voice your opinions on the various warrant articles. I’d like to thank representatives from the town, school district, fire precincts, police department, and non-profits who took time to discuss their budgets with us. At times the discussions were animated, but I believe the candor of both the representatives and committee ultimately benefited all of
us. The passion the committee and representatives feel for our town and schools was evident throughout the hearings. We have tough choices ahead of us, when deciding whether to fund the various budgets and other warrant articles, and attendance at the deliberative sessions will help ensure that everyone’s opinion is heard, not just small groups representing special interests. Finally, I want to remind everyone that during the school deliberative meeting on Monday, we will again be accepting donations for this year’s Harmony Tree. If you remember, last year we started a tradition to collect money at the School Deliberative Session to be used to purchase and plant a tree at the high school, to show that while we may disagree on budgetary issues, we are all part of the same community.

Technology can increase transparency To the editor: As you may know my name is Erik Corbett and I am running for selectman in Bartlett this year. One of the other candidates in this race has raised valid questions regarding transparency and accountability in town government. While raising the issue he to this point hasn’t offered a plan or solution to address the issue. I’m proposing establishing a weekly, or bi-weekly or monthly, email newsletter that residents can sign up for that will include selectman’s meeting minutes, the agenda for upcoming selectman’s meetings as well as similar
information from other town boards and departments. As part of my responsibilities as a selectman I will coordinate with department heads and other boards to put this out. I’ll also work with whomever it is thatbuilt and updates the town website to assure the information on it is up to date and relevent. We can include video of selectmans meetings and other town board meetings. We can, and should use technology to increase transparency and communication between the town and citizens with little to no cost to the town. Erik Corbett Glen

It can’t be overstated what a help Jack Hurley was to our board To the editor: Reading the obituary published Feb. 29 about Jack Hurley, many images came to mind of Jack and his participation as treasurer for Mountain Top Music Center over a period of severalyears. It cannot be overstated what a help he was to our board and organization! From wanting to see everything on one page to asking why some item showed up as it did to improving our understanding of cash flow statements —
he put his extensive business knowledge and awareness to work, helping us in many ways. I am terribly sorry to hear of his sudden passing and I wish his wife, Judy, his daughter, Shannon — and her husband, Fred — all the best as they move through this most difficult time.

Skiing in what is now known as Mount Washington Valley owes a lot to early ski pioneers such as Edwin Moody and Phil Robertson at Black in 1935, Bill and Betty Whitney of Whitneys’ also at Black in 1936, and Carroll Reed with his ski school in Jackson in 1936 and Cranmore in 1937. Austrian skimeister Hannes Schneider (1890-1955) (above left) and philanthropist and business leader Harvey Dow Gibson (1882-1950) (right) further helped to put the region on the skiers’ map of North America following the Schneider family’s arrival after being released from Nazi custody in February 1939. The New England Ski Museum’s Schneider Cup at Cranmore March 3 pays tribute to that legacy. (COURTESY OF NEW ENGLAND SKI MUSEUM)
Banking on the mountains Harvey Dow Gibson (1882-1950) left a legacy that the valley is still enjoying BY JEFF LEICH WITH TOM EASTMAN NEW ENGLAND SKI MUSEUM/THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Banker. World financier. National business leader. Hometown philanthropist. Ski area developer. Avid equestrian. Amateur musician. Late North Conway favorite son Harvey Dow Gibson (1880-1952) was all that, and more. Among the things he banked on heavily? Skiing, and what it could mean to the local economy of his beloved North Conway. Judging from how what is now known as Mount Washington Valley has evolved as a ski region, Gibson’s vision and business acumen was on the mark. Every year, the New England Ski Museum’s Schneider Cup, now in its 16th year, not only celebrates the
contributions to the sport of skiing made by Austrian skimeister Hannes Schneider (1890-1955) and his family upon their release from Nazi captivity and their arrival in North Conway in February 1939, but also other individuals who enriched local ski history. Along with other local ski business pioneers such as Ed Moody and Phil Robertson of Black Mountain, who put in the first lift there in 1935; ski school and ski shop founder Carroll P. Reed (1905-1995), and the late Bill and Betty Whitney who bought Moody’s and renamed it Whitneys’ in 1936, without question, any story about the valley’s skiing heritage is not complete without paying credit to such luminaries as Ed Moody and George Robertson, who erected a lift in 1935 at what was then Moody’s Hill adjacent to Black Mountain.
The lift was retrofitted by subsequent owner Bill Whitney when he and Betty bought Moody’s in 1936. Whitney attached 72 Sears shovel handles to the cable to make it easier for skiers to hang on. That led everyone to call the contraption the Shovel Handle, a name that is carried on today by the Shovel Handle Pub at the base of the slope, which became part of Black Mountain Ski Area when Black was developed by the Whitneys and Stan and Halsey Davis in 1948. With the connection to Moody’s Hill, Black is the oldest ski area in New Hampshire, and one of the oldest in New England. Another key player was Carroll P. Reed (1905-1995), a Boston insurance salesman and avid skier who broke his back skiing the then year-old, Civilian Conservation Corps-built Wildcat
Trail in April 1934. That experience led him to found a ski school so others would not end up like him, injured from improper ski technique. He founded the Eastern Slope Ski School/American Branch of the worldrenowned Hannes Schneider Ski School of St. Anton am Arlberg, Austria, at what is now the Wildcat Inn in December 1936, and despite a challenging snowless winter that season, the school was a great success. So much so that it caught the attention of North Conway native son, world financier and New York City bank president Harvey Dow Gibson (1882-1950). And that’s where this year’s Schneider Cup story begins... Jeff Leich, director of the New England Ski Museum of Franconia, steps in to pick the tale from there. see next page

••• CONWAY — The origins of Cranmore Mountain Resort, dating back 75 years to the New Year’s holidays of 1937, lie in an ancient rivalry between adjacent townships of Jackson and North Conway in what is now called the Mount Washington Valley. Stung by the reality that his daughter had to travel to nearby Jackson to find ski instruction and pastures suitable for skiing, Harvey Dow Gibson’s loyalties to the home of his youth, North Conway, were aroused, and he resolved to create a ski area that would put his hometown on the national map of the young sport. One result would be that soon the contention between the local towns would be absorbed into a wider focus on regional promotion under the legend of the Eastern Slope Region. Another, more dramatic outcome would be the rescue of Hannes Schneider and his family from Nazi house arrest on the verge of the Second World War. There are striking parallels between Harvey Gibson and Hannes Schneider. Both were born to families of humble station in small railroad towns in the mountains that relied on fledgling tourism economies. Both had a personal magnetism and innate dignity that drew people to them and contributed to their ascents. Both rose to almost unbelievable international prominence — even dominance — in their respective spheres of finance and sport. Both their hometowns experienced lasting prosperity thanks to the contributions of these native sons. Each had a connection to an apolitical figure with power in Germany’s Third Reich that would together enable Schneider’s escape from a darkening future in Europe. As the defining historical event of the 20th century drew near in 1939, both were pulled together in a dramatic footnote to world history in which Gibson rescued Schneider from his German detention. The two first met only days before North Conway’s native son brought St. Anton’s leading citizen to the White Mountains of New Hampshire on Feb. 11, 1939. The momentous and welcome result for North Conway and New England skiing would be that Schneider would help Gibson’s resort at Mount Cranmore become for a time the most successful in New England, making it an incubator of growth of the sport in America. ••• Harvey Dow Gibson was born in North Conway on March 12, 1882, in a house that still stands on the corner of Artist Falls Road and North-South Road, now occupied by the GB Carrier Company. He and his older sister Fannie spent their early years in the neighborhood surrounding the longgone Portland & Ogdensburg railroad station where their father was employed, which was situated at the junction of Depot Road and today’s North-South Road. The P&O had been constructed from Portland, Maine, up through nearby Crawford Notch by 1875, planned to connect Ogdensburg, New York on the St. Lawrence River with the Atlantic at Portland, to provide a rail route for grain from the Great Lakes states for international export. The rail line never made it farther than Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, but its dramatic route through picturesque Crawford Notch ensured substantial passenger traffic. Gibson’s family had roots in the hotel business in North Conway, a tradition that he would echo in his adulthood as owner of the Kearsarge House and Eastern Slope Inn. His grandfather James M. Gibson, between migrations to the California and Nevada gold fields in the mid-19th century, was proprietor of the Washington House, located roughly where Bob and Terry’s Sports Outlet now stands on the White Mountain Highway. His mother, Addie W. Dow, was the niece of the proprietor of the Merrill House in Kearsarge, and grew up waiting on tables in the inn for her uncle. Gibson’s father, James L. Gibson, found employment as a telegraph operator at the P&O station in North Conway, just a block away from his father’s hotel. Over a matter of years, he became the station agent, and after the rail line became
to his executive duties. The diplomatic ability demonstrated by Harvey Gibson’s father in those delicate situations would be echoed in the son’s remarkable rise to the peak of the financial industry in decades to come. ••• Harvey Gibson was educated in the one-room District 14 school in North Conway, on the site of today’s Schoolhouse Motel, then attended Fryeburg Academy in nearby Fryeburg, Maine. His school day began when he and other town boys caught the 5:24 a.m. train from his hometown to ride the 10 miles across the Maine border, and ended when the return trip dropped them off after 6 p.m. The point of traveling to Fryeburg Academy was to prepare for a college career, and Gibson at first contemplated attending Dartmouth.
the Maine Central Railroad in 1888, he grew to be a confidante of the executive vice president of the railroad, Payson Tucker. Tucker established a summer home in North Conway named Birchmont, where the Red Jacket Inn now stands, and on his trips to the area came into contact with James Gibson, as messages for Tucker from all over the system came through Gibson’s station. Tucker took an interest in the stationmaster, and helped him establish a sideline lumberyard business next to the station, which still thrives today as a branch of Hancock Lumber. Besides a dynamic executive, Tucker was an alcoholic given to occasional absences when railroad managers could not reach him. At those times, James Gibson was often the only person who could locate him and convince him to return

After his sister Fannie, older by three years, married Bowdoin graduate Ernest R. Woodbury of Saco, Maine, the glowing reports of his brother-in-law convinced him that Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine was the place for him. (Gibson’s connection with the Woodbury clan would be further strengthened in the future, when Gibson’s nephew Wendell D. Woodbury became the overseer of Gibson’s affairs in North Conway). On graduating from Bowdoin in the class of 1902, Harvey Gibson was hired by the American Express Company, ostensibly as part of a nucleus of college men in a new Financial Department. In actuality the Boston office was not informed of these plans,
and Gibson was treated as an office boy and set to sweeping the floors on his first day. Eventually he was promoted to the Financial Department, and while there managed to befriend the chief, who he wrote was regarded as “an intolerant old bull” by all in the office. Through a combination of charm, perseverance, and willingness to learn an arcane bookkeeping system called the Mundle sheet, Gibson converted the curmudgeon into an ally who promoted him. When the financial agent position in the Montreal office came open, Gibson was the only Mundle system expert in Boston, and the promotion meant that he had free rein to operate in Canada without direct supervision. After four years in Montreal, Ameri-
can Express transferred Gibson back to Boston, to London, back to Boston, and finally to New York. Everywhere he went he impressed his coworkers and superiors, and left a trail of goodwill. He had a Yankee shrewdness in dealing with red tape, which he demonstrated once in taking over a disorganized department whose correspondence was in woeful arrears. Gibson bundled packets of unanswered letters and documents and shipped them unread to company offices across the country. On receipt of these seemingly misdirected letters, the remote branches sent them back to Gibson’s office, where they arrived spaced out in time such that Gibson could deal with each overflowing envelope as it arrived. Keeping silent as to his method, Gibson came to be
seen as an organizational savant. While serving as assistant manager of the financial department in New York in 1910, Gibson was tasked by the express company to explore the purchase of a Boston travel company. After Gibson and a colleague arranged to acquire the Raymond-Whitcomb Company, at the last minute American Express dropped their bid, and Gibson and his partner jumped at the opportunity to give their notice and buy it for themselves. The travel company purchase was Gibson’s first experience with debt, and he was helped through the process by banker Seward Prosser of the Astor Trust Company, whose firm would benefit by the hefty deposits that the travel company would make in his nearby bank. Gibson’s two years in the travel business would represent a minor footnote in his financial career yet important for the positive impression he made on Prosser, a banker with ambition and connections. In 1912, Seward Prosser became president of the Liberty National Bank in New York, and he invited Gibson to leave his travel company and move to Liberty National as assistant to the president. Thus it was that on March 4, 1912, Harvey Dow Gibson, nearly 20 years after his Bowdoin graduation, became a banker and began a truly remarkable rise that would take him to the top ranks of international finance. Within a year, Gibson was named vice president at Liberty, after he passed through a subtle character assessment arranged by board member Henry P. Davison, who would have a large impact on Gibson’s further career. Gibson was given to understand he would be promoted, but when the board met, Davison asked that the appointment be delayed. Gibson gave no hint of dismay, declaring he had no desire to be vice president unless the entire board was behind him. This was precisely the reaction that Davison was hoping for when he set up his experiment to see how Gibson handled adversity, and within days Gibson had his promotion. By the end of 1916, again through the intercession of Henry Davison, Gibson was named president of the Liberty National Bank. From that point on, Davison, a senior partner of the influential JP Morgan & see next page

Company, assumed a paternal interest in Gibson and the two became close friends. Gibson served as president of Liberty until 1921, when the bank merged with the New York Trust Company, with Gibson leading the combined firm under that name. Banking was a precarious profession for some after the Depression took hold in 1929, but Gibson emerged from the banking crisis of 1931 as one of the leading lights of the industry. When the Manufacturer’s Trust Company fell into financial difficulties, the small group of New York’s most stable banks that made up the New York clearing house decided to admit the ailing bank provided a new president and policies were installed. The clearing house committee named Gibson as their choice to lead Manufacturer’s Trust, and within days Gibson formed a group of 40 investors and purchased a controlling interest in the bank from Goldman, Sachs. On his first day of work at his new bank Gibson, after having to ask directions to its headquarters, was startled to receive a welcoming visit from J. P. Morgan himself. Gibson was proud to report that no such visit by Morgan had ever been made in Wall Street memory. For the rest of his life, Gibson would serve as president of Manufacturer’s Trust Company with great distinction. He was peripatetically active in civic life in New York in the period between the world wars, and during the two conflicts he served overseas with the American Red Cross for years at a time. His reputation as a troubleshooter gained him unusual assignments. When $20 million in gold coins was shipped across the Atlantic after the 1914 outbreak of war to fund
Americans trapped by the collapse of banking interactions between Germany and Britain, Harvey Gibson was chosen to accompany it. When small banks went out of business and needed to be liquidated, Manufacturer’s Trust could be counted on to do the job well. When the 1940 New York World’s Fair tottered on the brink of insolvency, Gibson was named chairman of the board and paid the creditors and rescued the investors. From the overall perspective of Gibson’s lifelong accomplishments, his founding of Cranmore may appear as one of the least. Nevertheless, he never lost his love for his native town, and when he was goaded by his daughter Whitney Bourne’s desire to ski in Jackson because there was no place in North Conway, he quickly put together the elements of a brand new ski resort, at a time when the ski resort was a new concept. “Dear Averell:” wrote Gibson to his friend and fellow magnate W. Averell Harriman, who had just created the ski resort at Sun Valley, Idaho. “If any of your friends want to go skiing, tell them about this little centre Helen and I are developing primarily to create activity in my home town.” Much of the formula that Sun Valley designed was repeated by Gibson in North Conway, and the two carried on some correspondence about their respective resorts. Harriman visited North Conway to take a look at the new Cranmore area, but a rainy weekend precluded any skiing. Mirroring Sun Valley, Cranmore offered expansive ski slopes served by uphill conveyances invented especially for each resort, with the best Austrian ski instructors, coupled with genteel lodging options nearby. see next page

Even the major ski races at both areas were similarly named — the Harriman races at Sun Valley and the Gibson Cup events at Cranmore both celebrated the respective founders. As the winter of 1938 progressed, most of the pieces were in place at Cranmore for a first-class Harvey Gibson operation; the only element missing was the world’s most renowned ski teacher. Just prior to the running of the 1938 Arlberg-Kandahar race in St. Anton, Austria, German troops entered Austria in the bloodless occupation/ annexation known as the Anschluss. Hannes Schneider, until then the town’s leading citizen by virtue of the robust prosperity that his internationally famous ski school had created, found himself the target of native Austrian Nazi party followers who had previously been powerless to sway opinion to their cause given the steadfast opposition of Schneider. Politically Schneider was a follower of Chancellor Englebert Dollfuss (1982-1934), who was assassinated by Nazis, and his successor as Chancellor, Kurt von Schuschnigg (18971977), who was forced to resign in the Anschluss. A degree of antagonism to Schneider’s anti-Nazi sentiments had been in evidence since 1933, personified by former instructor Karl Moser, an early Nazi with ambitions to lead the ski school who had resigned when visits by German tourists died off in the wake of the imposition of a tax of 1000 Reichsmarks on entry to Austria. There were several prominent attacks on Schneider in the press, in particular for his refusal to cut ties
to Rudolph Gomperz, the tourism director of St. Anton who was in part responsible for the installation of the Galzig cable car, and who was born a self-described “non-arian.� In the immediate wake of the Anschluss, Schneider was arrested and sent to the Landeck jail, though the policeman who took him in was apologetic to Hannes to such an extent that he was fired days later. Karl Moser was made mayor of St. Anton, and two days after the Anschluss organized a celebratory parade through St. Anton in which all were forced to march. Friedl Pfeiffer, one of Schneider’s top instructors watching from the sidelines with a broken leg, witnessed American racer Betty Woolsey marching alongside in her own counter-demonstration, shouting “Ski Heil� and displaying “a decidedly different hand salute to the Nazis� than the now-mandatory Nazi upraised arm. Franz Gabl, another of Schneider’s teachers, noted that Germans flooded into town so that business was brisk, and that without Hannes’ stern discipline “there were so many women — and many were eager for romance — and the moral standard was considerably lowered.� The worldwide outcry that followed Schneider’s imprisonment in Landeck was triggered by American Alice Wolfe and Englishman Arnold Lunn, both good friends of Schneider with wide acquaintance in international skiing circles. Wolfe went to Landeck, she remembered in 1955, to “bribe the jailer to let me visit Hannes, more to have him comfort me than anything else.� Perhaps through Wolfe, or some other skiing connection, Dr. Karl

Rösen, a German attorney from Garmisch-Partenkirchen, was enlisted in Schneider’s case, and after 25 days in Landeck, Schneider was transferred to Garmisch under Rösen’s jurisdiction. He had been president of the Bavarian Ski Association in the 1920s, and was an honorary member of the Kandahar Ski Club of Mürren, the partner club with the Arlberg that put on the Arlberg-Kandahar races. Rösen had been a courtappointed lawyer to Hitler at the time of the 1924 Beer Hall Putsch, though his client conducted his own defense and RĂśsen name does not appear in historical accounts. Nevertheless, he evidently maintained enough influence in Berlin to shield Schneider from the personal vendettas of the Austrian Nazis, and transfer him to German territory where the Nazi party not only had nothing against Schneider, but were aware that he was a bit of a public relations dilemma for them. Acting as a friend and advocate but not as attorney for Schneider, Rösen appears to have ghostwritten a well-referenced reply to the criticisms of Schneider addressed to Heinrich Himmler, and held in abeyance any potential reprisals until Gibson’s unexpected lifeline appeared from overseas. ••• As part of his creation of Mount Cranmore, Harvey Gibson had purchased the ski school in Jackson started by Carroll Reed, which had been his original motivation to bringing a ski resort to North Conway. Benno Rybizka, the lead instructor in Jackson, had been sent

by Schneider in the winter of 1937 in response to Carroll Reed’s plan, and by 1938 was working with Gibson in North Conway. He undoubtedly alerted Gibson to Schneider’s situation, and the desirability of having Schneider at Cranmore. As early as March, 1938, Gibson drew up a contract between the Eastern Slope Ski School and Schneider for the directorship of the school, and gave the London representative of the Manufacturer’s Trust Company, Herbert W. Auburn, the task of negotiating with the Nazis for clearance for Schneider to emigrate to the U.S. Auburn, an assistant vice president in the Foreign Department of Gibson’s bank, reportedly had direct discussions with Himmler. Gibson also happened to be the chairman of the American Committee of Short Term Creditors of Germany, a consortium of banks that held non-performing German debt. This committee had much to discuss with their German negotiating partner, Reichsbank president Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht (1877-1970). Gibson and Schacht were acquaintances, perhaps from the early days of World War I when Gibson was a go-between for English and German banks before America’s entry in the war. Schacht was not a Nazi party member, and experienced a gradual diminution of his power until he was dismissed in 1943 and placed in a series of concentration camps in 1944 for resistance activity. Interestingly, at the end of the war, he was in the same transport of prominent political prisoners as Kurt von Schuschnigg from Dachau to the Tyrol. In any event, the net see next page

2012 Schneider Cup schedule CONWAY — The New England Ski Museum’s Hannes Schneider Meister Cup — set for March 2 at Cranmore Mountain Resort — combines the best of skiing today with the warm nostalgia of yesterday. Now in its 14th year, the race honors the founding father of ski instruction, Austrian Hannes Schneider, who brought his world-renowned skills to North Conway and Cranmore in 1939. Schneider introduced skiing fun and excitement to millions around the globe. Hannes Schneider was a mountain soldier himself in World War I, so it is fitting that the Schneider Race pay tribute to America’s mountain troops. Each year 10th Mountain Division

result of the negotiations, which went unrecorded and were subject to a non-disclosure agreement, between Gibson and Schacht, Rösen and Himmler, and Auburn and his contacts, was that Hannes Schneider was allowed to emigrate to the U.S. with his wife Ludwina, daughter Herta, and son Herbert. Probably not coincidentally, American banks continued to extend commercial credit to Germany under a “standstill agreement”; on March 31, Germany’s credit lines with international banks totaled $81 million. ••• With the Feb. 11, 1939 arrival of the Schneider family in North Conway, with Harvey Gibson at their side as they walked through an arch of ski poles formed by youth of the Eastern Slope Ski School, North Conway and Cranmore began an emergence as one of the most successful ski resorts in the US, a status that would continue well into the 1960s. That status as an international ski resort is even now given occasional notice, as in the 2012 National Geographic article that named North Conway among the 25 most celebrated ski towns in the world. “Without Mr. Gibson’s help we could not have gotten the necessary passports and U.S. entry papers,” Schneider wrote to Otto Lang. “For this I shall be eternally grateful to him. When one has gone through what I had to endure, one cannot help but to be grateful and happy to be a human being again and to be offered the opportunity to earn a living.” The window in which Gibson and Schacht reached an accord on Hannes Schneider’s release did not remain open for long.

to reach the summit of Cranmore, and on the day that Harvey Dow Gibson assumed leadership of the New York World’s Fair, Sept. 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland, and shattering conflict would soon engulf the world. Harvey Gibson spent the World War II years overseas with the Red Cross, and was welcomed home by a laudatory editorial in the New York Times. He remained president of Manufacturer’s Trust Company until his death in 1950. Many North Conway organizations and individuals benefited form the charitable instincts of Gibson and his wife Helen. Hannes Schneider remained a North Conway resident and director of the Hannes Schneider Ski School until his death in 1955. His wife Ludwina died about six months after their arrival in North Conway. Herta Schneider returned to St. Anton about 1949 and married Franz Fahrner; together they ran the Fahrnerhof guest house. Herta died in 2001. Benno Rybizka left Cranmore soon after Hannes’ arrival, and taught at Mittersill and Mont Tremblant. He returned to St. Anton after the war, where he died in 1992. Herbert Schneider took over the Hannes Schneider Ski School on his father’s death, and purchased Cranmore Mountain from the heirs of Harvey Gibson. He owned and operated Cranmore until 1984, and was an active force in the Professional Ski Instructors of America, several ski resort trade associations, and the town that offered his family refuge in 1939. Jeff Leich is director of the New England Ski Museum of Franconia. The ski museum has satellite exhibits at the Bretton Woods base lodge, at the state’s Scenic Vista rest area in Intervale, and at the Eastern Slope Inn in North Conway.

Returning to the unique spaciousness of Mount Washington Many people return to Mount Washington (6,288 feet) every year to feel that unique spaciousness found on the highest mountain in the northeast. Like a growing number of people, Ed Parsons I like returning as a winter hiker. The familiar idea that a mountain is different every time you climb it could have easily originated on any New England mountain. Returning by the same trail on Mount Washington’s east side: the lower Tuckerman Ravine Trail to the Winter Lion Head Trail, and then reconnecting to the upper Tuckerman Ravine Trail to the summit, is a guaranteed way to experience the infinite variety of atmospheric and land conditions on this unique mountain where three storm tracks meet. Mountain guide Paul Cail has worked for North Conway’s Eastern Mountain Sports Climbing School for 22 years. In that time he has led winter group attempts on this route up Mount Washington almost 700 times, or 30 to 35 times a winter. These groups summited 90 percent of the time. Those times his group turned back before the top were most often caused by unfit clients, with the weather coming in second place.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, March 3, 2012— Page 19
from preceding page
“Once a client asked me if I was sick of climbing the mountain after 700 times,” said Cail from his Brownfield home during this week’s Thursday snow storm. “I told him that in my actual experience, it was a different mountain every time. Often I have guided Mount Washington two to three days in a row, and the overall conditions are different every day.” As, of course, are his clients. At the conclusion of our phone conversation, he mentioned the spiritual connection he had found in his winter outdoor profession: “The mountain is my ‘God,’ and I listen to it.” March 29 was the day before my phone conversation with Paul Cail. It was a classic “calm before the storm” day. Clouds slowly moved in during the day, but that morning the sky over Mount Washington was mostly blue and the wind was modest. Getting off to an early start, I climbed Mount Washington that morning. The snow conditions were great, and I hiked at a fast clip (for me), leaving Pinkham at 5:30 a.m., and returning there at 10:30 a.m. On the way back down the mountain, upon reaching the bottom of the winter Lion Head Trail, I encountered two guided groups on their way up. One group was led by a New York based climbing school. The other was from the local Eastern Mountain Sports Climbing School, and was led by Paul Cail. I hadn’t seen Cail in his element for a couple years, and remembered encountering him many
times before on the winter mountain. He was always immensely calm, and focused. This time we had a brief friendly encounter, mentioned the upcoming storm, then went our ways. I walked out to the Tuckerman Ravine Trail and headed down.
“In my actual experience, it was a different mountain every time. Often I have guided Mount Washington two to three days in a row, and the overall conditions are different every day.” As for my solo jaunt, it had been kind of a whirlwind that morning. I arrived at Pinkham in the dark, and started up the Tuck Trail with a head lamp. But the early morning light arrived quickly, and after passing Crystal Cascades, I turned off the lamp. The snow was such that traction seemed to propel me forward. In a couple miles I turned onto the Huntington Ravine Fire Road, then took a left on the Winter Lion Head Trail, just beginning to get packed down well in the powder from the last storm. Further along, full crampons were needed on the steep trail in the soft snow. I wound up the trail to treeline, and was amazed when I stepped out of the trees onto a totally windless tundra. Not a branch stirred. But as I crunched up to Lion Head, a steady and chilly breeze began.
I turned to look back east. There had been no pink dawn on the mountain earlier, as clouds hid the sun’s rising over Wildcat. The sun still hadn’t come out, even though the actual summit was under blue sky. But I wasn’t squawking. The conditions were amazingly mild compared to the last time I had been there a month ago, and got blown off Lion Head. I headed across the flats and started up the summit cone, and the sun did finally start to peek through the clouds, changing everything. When its nuclear light was revealed, the gray/ white snow caught fire. Looking out to the east, the Atlantic Ocean was a golden ribbon. I reached the auto road and walked up to the summit, where buildings, fences and walkways were covered in a foot of flowing rime — heaven’s battlements. After a brief visit to the observation platform, where the vista of the northern peaks was lit up by the sun, and then a friendly encounter with a weather observer, who was outside to check on the auxiliary generator, I ate a quick sandwich in the shelter of the Sherman Adams Building entrance way at 8:30 a.m. But it was too cold to linger very long. The returning observer saw me getting ready to leave. “It’s like scuba diving,” he said. “All the preparation, and then the distance you need to swim to get down to the bottom, and then you can only stay a few minutes.” Strange analogy, I thought at first. Yet the more it sat, the more it fit.

The Snow Report: Chili weekend in the valley/Chilifest highlights busy local weekend agenda BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — It's a busy — and “chili” — weekend in Mount Washington Valley, both on and off the ski slopes, ski touring trails and snowmobile routes, following Thursday's 7-plus inches of snow. Suffice to say that all ski areas, touring trails and snowmobile operators are in great shape heading into this first weekend in March. The forecast called for 1 to 3 additional inches Friday night, and a mix of sleet, freezing rain and rain Saturday with highs in the 40s, followed by sun and clouds Sunday with temperatures in the mid 30s. But, what's a little rain when you're having fun int he outdoors, right? ••• CHILI FEST: Highlighting the weekend off the trails is the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce's annual annual Chili Cookoff — a Chilly Stroll, which returns to North Conway Village from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 3. In addition to great chili, the event will feature a “Crazy Hat” contest. Participants may stop by the chamber office at the Villa Building on Main Street in North Conway behind the info booth from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to design their crazy chili festival hats. Passport tickets are $15 for adults; $7 for those age 6 to 12; and free for ages 5 and under with an adult. Tickets may be purchased at the chamber, the Rugged Mill, the North Conway Country Club, Rafferty's and Flatbreads. For further information, call 356-5701. ••• SCHNEIDER CUP: Another high-
light of the weekend is the New England Ski Museum's 14th annual Hannes Schneider Meister Cup, set for March 3 at Cranmore Mountain Resort (356-5543; 53 trails, six lifts). The schedule calls for opening ceremonies to get things going at 9:15 a.m., followed by a two-run dual giant slalom. A silent auction with all sorts of great stuff will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Ice carving will be featured, and a vintage ski attire contest will also be held, followed by awards, with Roy “the Skiing D.J.” Prescott handling the microphone duties. The fun wraps up Sunday morning with a ski history talk at 9:30 a.m. at the Eastern Slope Inn, with Bettina Hoerlin to speak on the topic, “Under the Shadow of the Swastika.” Cranmore presents a Cranapalooza March 3, featuring a “Fiesta” theme as a complement to the Chili Fest. Fireworks are set for 6:30 p.m. Cranmore's Snow Fest for college students is set for March 5 through 9, featuring apres ski and more. Try the tubing park, mountain coaster, giant swing and indoor advenure zone. ••• ALL-MOUNTAIN RACE: Black Mountain (383-4490; 40 trails, two lifts; live apres ski music at the Lostbo Pub Saturdays.) and EMS will host their first annual all-mountain race March 3. “We're calling all telemark, randonee and split board folks — whatever it takes (except via chairlift, snow-machine, groomer — no motors allowed),” notes Black's marketing director, Krissy Fraser. “Then ski or board back to the base to cross the finish line.” see SNOW REPORT page 23

Country Ecology: Bats and white-nose syndrome
In the early weeks of June, after I had first moved to Sandwich in 1985, I was still working at the Bickford sawmill on the Tamworth town line. Work started at 5 a.m. and I would choose to take the dirt road along the north side of Bearcamp Pond to commute to this physically demanding job. Compared to earlier winter months working at this small sawmill, lush, humid mornings with emerging green vegetation were turning these lowland roadsides into a sylvan richness, and were certainly in high contrast to January’s freezing temperatures we had worked in. But what was most striking were the numerous bats flitting after insect prey at that moment, constantly appearing and dodging through my headlights’ beams. I was experiencing a horde of flying animal life in this pre-dawn hour. Later residing in Channing Snyder’s Eaton home, I would watch the bats continue the hunt the brook trout had been rising for, at the surface of this ideal trout pond located on his delightful grounds. Precisely at sundown, the bats would show up and take over possession of the daylight duties trout and swallows had been performing to devour the aerial insects of bug season. I learned that bats can eat thousands more than the various swallow species we enjoy, and was duly impressed. Local bats reside in odd places during the daytime and come out when darkness arrives to

Here is how the fungus bothers the bats and leads them to exhaustion. A “scratch-and-itch” makes them wake up from their wintry torpor and this uses up fat reserves they depend on. Getting hungry and thirsty from using up stored food reserves makes them leave the cave or mine, and go searching for insects that are not out there in the snow-covered landscape. Any foraging success is not likely to happen, so 90 percent work themselves into dehydration with wings tearing easily; they become brittle with holes. Bats’ wings help them maintain proper water balance internally. Biologists in New England states watch bats flitting about in the wrong season and know they are not going to make it with such wasteful pursuits. So the aggravation caused by the itching fungus, which looks like white fuzz on the face of the hanging small bats, drives them to an unprecedented, unnecessary death which would not happen if they were getting through winter as they customarily have done.

Like, totally circular dude According to the 1880s slang guide, tubular was an adjective used to express coolness when the word cool wasn’t quite adequate. To make your skiing cooler than cool, make all your turns, like, totally circular dude. As the cavemen and women who taught Cro-Magnon ski lessons used to say: “ Z turns bad…S turns good. Ug!” Somewhere between the laws of physics and modern ski design, all your ski turns need to be round: short turns-round, medium radius turnsround, long radius turns…still round. Seeing the pattern? Any time your momentum is going one way, and you want it to go in a new direction, round turn shape is the turn shape of choice. Oddly (or not), ski racers are faster, powder skiers are happier, and Spring skiers are far less exhausted by Noon when the tracks left behind are round. So why don’t all skiers make round turns all the time? Because many skiers use the “hockey stop- brakes” turn entry to control speed. This “Z turn” strategy works poorly on ice,
and is exhausting in all but clean frozen groomer conditions. Allow your round turn shape to control your speed…carve some shape (round) into the top of your turns, and finish your turns climbing out of the fall line. Experiment with letting your round turn shape manage your speed, and don’t be afraid to carve into the fall line. You’ll be carving out of it as well and keeping your speed under control. So, to make your personal skiing and racing, like, totally tubular, dudes and dudettes, like, make your turn shape, like, totally circular. Your old “grody to the max” Z turns will give way to totally awesome S turns and your be arcing your way to greatness. Remember, best advice of all, take a lesson or attend a race clinic. You’ll have a great time and improve your time. John Macdonald is a Level III Certified PSIA Instructor and is a Race Team Coach at King Pine Ski Area.

Movie Review: ‘Journey 2’ The weekend of the Academy Awards ceremony honoring the best of 2011, I saw “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.” This time next year, “Journey 2” will not be winning any awards nor will it be appearing on any best of 2012 lists, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a fun time at the movies. “Journey 2” is a loose sequel to 2008’s “Journey to the Center of the Earth.” The only returning character is Josh Hutcherson, who played Brendan Fraser’s nephew in the first film. Fraser is now out and Dwayne Johnson and Michael Caine are now in as Hutcherson’s stepdad and grandfather, respectively. That’s a pretty substantial upgrade. Hutherson’s Sean gets a coded message from his grandfather that includes the coordinates for Jules Verne’s “Mysterious Island.” Johnson’s Hank, wanting to bond with the sullen Sean, agrees to take him to the coordinates. To get there they get a helicopter ride from a bumbling pilot (Luis Guzman) and his gorgeous daughter (Vanessa Hudgens), who is, conveniently enough, age appropriate for Sean. They crash on the island, find grandpa

and then search for a way off the island as it begins sinking. The film goes on the premise that everything Verne wrote is true, so therefore the obvious way off the island is Captain Nemo’s Nautilus. Part of the film’s charm is how gleefully preposterous it is. This means when the Nautilus' battery is dead the natural answer is a jump start from an electric eel. In keeping with that fanciful tone, it turns out the island also was the basis for “Treasure Island” and “Gulliver’s Travels.” This is an interesting idea that doesn’t get explored enough, but we do get Lilliputian elephants, which could replace ponies as what all little girls want. In addition to tiny elephants, there are giant bees, which our heroes ride while being chased by giant birds. This includes a game of chicken that concludes in an absurd laugh-out-loud moment. Logically, if there are giant bees, there are also giant lizards. This leads to the line: “Lizards,

why did it have it be lizards,” a nod to “Indiana Jones,” the zenith of adventure films. “Journey 2,” while it pays homage to that series, doesn’t attempt to match it. It is content being bright, silly and teaching a lesson or two. Johnson and Caine are immensely likable actors and their charms make the sometimes clunky, barbed banter actually work. Hutcherson and Hudgens are just fine, but aren’t required to do much more than inevitably fall in love. Guzman is funny, but is a bit too cartoonishly hammy and a few times comes across as trying too hard. There are two reasons to see this film though: Johnson’s pec pop of love and Johnson playing ukulele and singing “It’s a Wonderful World,” which is honestly quite good. Seriously. Movie-going experiences are all about expectations. “Journey 2” isn’t a good movie per se, but it is a goofy, charming adventure film for kids that works on that modest level. “Journey 2” is playing at the Mountain Valley Mall Cinema 7 in North Conway.

DILBERT
By Holiday Mathis be in just the mood to say “yes” and see what happens. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You want to be more important in someone’s world. The strong water-sign influences overhead put you in touch with subtle emotional signals and help you find a way into the heart of another. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Take on a “hopeless” issue. It’s clear that what you already know isn’t enough to facilitate a breakthrough. You’ll access different knowledge and discover the key. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re ready to get a better grip on finances. Professional advice will likely be too severe. Handle things in a way that works for you, and relax. It’s just money. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Over-thinking is the enemy of fun. Designate a certain period of time (afternoon is best) to let loose and go bouncing around for a while. You could reach gleeful heights. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your energy will be strongest on your birthday and during the three days on either side it. Take extra care of yourself the two weeks before your birthday when your energy is muted. Get more sleep, and eat better then, too. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 3). You’ll be a peacemaker and a healer because you respect opinions and beliefs that are different from your own. The harmony between your spiritual and physical life will help you ride the flow of life without too much stress. Psychic and emotional connections lead to moves and lifestyle upgrades in May. Cancer and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 22, 28 and 15.
Get Fuzzy
ARIES (March 21-April 19). In order to solve a puzzle, you have to have access to all of the pieces. You won’t realize what’s missing until the assembly is under way. Don’t wait. Put things together, and you’ll figure out what more is needed soon enough. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). According to one urban dictionary, a “noob” is a name for someone who is bad at something because they are new to it; whereas, a “nub” lacks skill in spite of having plenty of experience. You’ll need patience for both types today. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Think about what the initial trigger was that put a chain of events in motion. The observations of an objective party could help. Avoid the mistake of focusing on the result and not the cause of a problem. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your drive is commendable, and it’s what attracts successful people to your side. However, be careful not to let a hungry ambition blind you to everything else that’s going on around you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your intuition is so strong that you could be inspired to make a choice without bothering to put the matter through a decisionmaking process. And your selection will be better than anything you could have labored over. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Remember Rip Van Winkle? He took a 20-year nap through the American Revolution and woke up to a changed world. You, on the other hand, are determined to stay wide awake and catch every detail. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re game to try new things. Whether or not you’ll like them isn’t the point. The point is that you’ll know more for trying. You’ll

Today is Saturday, March 3, the 63rd day of 2012. There are 303 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 3, 1931, President Herbert Hoover signed a congressional resolution making “The Star-Spangled Banner” the national anthem of the United States. On this date: In 1845, Florida became the 27th state. In 1849, the U.S. Department of the Interior was established. In 1887, Anne Sullivan arrived at the Tuscumbia, Ala., home of Captain and Mrs. Arthur H. Keller to become the teacher for their blind and deaf 6-year-old daughter, Helen. In 1894, British Prime Minister William Gladstone submitted his resignation to Queen Victoria, ending his fourth and final premiership. In 1923, Time magazine, founded by Briton Hadden and Henry R. Luce, made its debut. In 1940, Artie Shaw and his orchestra recorded “Frenesi” for RCA Victor. In 1945, the Allies fully secured the Philippine capital of Manila from Japanese forces during World War II. In 1961, King Hassan II acceded to the throne of Morocco, following the death of his father, King Mohammed V. In 1969, Apollo 9 blasted off from Cape Kennedy on a mission to test the lunar module. In 1974, a Turkish Airlines DC-10 crashed shortly after takeoff from Orly Airport in Paris, killing all 346 people on board. In 1987, comedian Danny Kaye died in Los Angeles at age 74. In 1991, motorist Rodney King was severely beaten by Los Angeles police officers in a scene captured on amateur video. Twenty-five people were killed when a United Airlines Boeing 737200 crashed while approaching the Colorado Springs airport. One year ago: Seeking to repair damaged relations, President Barack Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderon agreed during a White House meeting to deepen their cooperation in combating drug violence and declared a breakthrough in efforts to end a long-standing dispute over cross-border trucking. Soldiers backing Ivory Coast’s defiant leader, Laurent Gbagbo (loh-RAHN’ BAHG’-boh), mowed down women protesting his refusal to leave power in a hail of gunfire, killing seven. Today’s Birthdays: Bluegrass singer-musician Doc Watson is 89. Socialite Lee Radziwill is 79. Movie producer-director George Miller is 67. Actress Hattie Winston is 67. Singer Jennifer Warnes is 65.

BOY NEEDS SUPPORTIVE REFUGE FROM FATHER’S HURTFUL WORDS
DEAR ABBY: My 10-year-old son has a school friend, “Jeremy,” who seems like a sweet, smart kid. I have seen Jeremy’s dad interact with him both in and out of school. The man talks down to him and speaks harshly. This sweet boy appears to be verbally beaten down, and it makes my heart ache. What can I do? I realize I don’t know what’s going on in their home. There could be other factors causing Jeremy’s father to act this way. But every child deserves love and encouragement. Any advice you can give would be appreciated. -- ADVOCATE FOR KINDNESS IN KENTUCKY DEAR ADVOCATE: Make Jeremy welcome in your home as often as you can, praise him when the opportunity arises and give him a willing ear if he needs to talk. Whatever “factors” are causing his father to treat him this way, they are no excuse for verbal abuse. Your kindness to that boy won’t fix his problems at home, but it WILL be remembered all the days of his life. Your hospitality may be the only exposure Jeremy has to a normal, functional family. DEAR ABBY: I got into a fight with my best friend. I’m 12, and she’s 13. We could have solved our own problems, but she got her parents involved. They started saying stuff on Facebook about me and my parents. I forgave her, but I don’t want to forgive her parents. Abby, what would you do? -- CAN’T FORGIVE DEAR CAN’T FORGIVE: Your friend’s parents appear to be immature and overly involved in their daughter’s life. Most tweenage tiffs are resolved by the individuals having the argument. What her parents did was wrong. If they haven’t posted an apology on Facebook, they
should. And if they don’t, my advice is to keep your distance from ALL of them, because regardless of whether you have forgiven your friend, this could happen again. DEAR ABBY: A group of about a dozen friends are planning a Caribbean cruise. My boyfriend, “Isaac,” and I have been invited to join them. I love to travel. I don’t get to go on trips very often and have never been on a cruise or to the Caribbean, so I’m excited. Isaac, on the other hand, doesn’t care much for travel and doesn’t enjoy the ocean. He also doesn’t like my friend or her husband. They are the ones who are coordinating the trip and who invited us. Isaac rarely socializes with anyone who isn’t in his circle of friends. He doesn’t want to go and thinks I shouldn’t go, either. Isn’t it unfair of him to tell me I can’t go? Would it be wrong of me to go without him? He promises that if I don’t go, the two of us will go together next year. (I don’t believe him.) -- LANDLOCKED IN ARIZONA DEAR LANDLOCKED: If you don’t believe Isaac when he tells you he’ll do something, you must have good reason for it. Yes, it is unfair of him to tell you that you can’t take the cruise with your friends. It is also controlling. If you think you would have a good time without him, you should go. It’s not like you’ll be leaving for a month. He can manage without you for a few days. Instead of trying to discourage you, he should wish you “bon voyage” -- but the odds for that aren’t high, so don’t expect it.

Fourth graders at John Fuller Elementary School presented a check for $200 to Steve Swenson of North Conway (pictured in the back row, on the right), who is working to place a monument at Redstone Quarry.
John Fuller students contribute to Redstone Quarry monument
CONWAY — The fourth graders at John Fuller Elementary School recently read an article in The Conway Daily Sun about putting a monument at the entrance to the Redstone Quarry and decided they wanted to help. Steve Swenson, who lives in North Conway and has studied the history of the quarry, hopes to place a monument at the quarry so that future generations can learn of its purpose in the valley years ago. Every year, Swenson volunteers to take the fourth grade students at John Fuller on an excursion into the past. Using his knowledge and expertise, he
gives the students a “hands-on” lesson on the history of the Redstone Quarry. This excursion ties into both the fourth grade social studies and science curriculums because not only do the children learn about rocks and minerals, but also of their rich local history. As a thank you, John Fuller fourth graders held a bake sale and raised $200 towards the cost of the monument. They are proud to be able to be part of this special tribute and the teachers look forward to taking many more fourth graders on this journey into the past.

telling stories at the Corner House March 8
SANDWICH — Mount Washington Valley storyteller, teacher and naturalist Matt Krug headlines storytelling dinner program at the Corner House Inn in Center Sandwich on Thursday, March 8 at 6:30 p.m. A native son of New Hampshire and founding member of the Mountain Storytellers’ Guild, Krug has — according to his siblings — been telling stories all his life.

He has told stories in schools, libraries, alongside trails and campfires, aboard ship in the Mediterranean Sea, on skis and in canoes. He has appeared at the Granite State Story Swap, Story Fest in Claremont, and regularly presents his Stars program for the Appalachian Mountain Club, Tin Mountain Conservation Center, and many Mount Washington Valley civic groups and fundraisers. Thursday storytelling dinners are held each week at the Corner House from late October through May. The price is $19.95 per person. For more information and reservations contact the Corner House Inn at 284-6219 or online at info@cornerhouseinn.com

TAMWORTH — The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Eastern Slopes will offer a program of ethical and spiritual development for 11 to 13-year olds beginning Sunday, March 4. Called "Riddle and Mystery," the program aims to assist “tweens” in finding their own answers through a series of questions. The program will be held on eight consecutive Sundays (March 4 through April 22) from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the UUFES Meetinghouse at 30 Tamworth Road on the corner of Main Street and Route 113 in Tamworth Village. "Riddle and Mystery" aims to teach participants to accept, appreciate and celebrate mystery, ambiguity and contradiction as part of human life and the starting points of religion; to explore responses to life’s big questions; to foster participants' own personal, spiritual responses to big questions; to demonstrate the importance of questioning thought and its value in personal and communal life; and to guide participants to develop and practice the skill of abstract thought. Each week participants will be presented with a “Big Question” and through interactive games, art, acting, story and participant-run “News Reports,” each participant will begin to explore and put words to his or her own answer(s) to the question. All interested 11-14 year olds are welcome to attend. Affiliation with UUFES is not a requirement for participation. All classes will be led by Tracy Nudd-Homeyer, UUFES Child and Youth Program Director. Call Tracy Nudd-Homeyer at (603) 323-8585 to register. There is a minimum enrollment of 5, maximum enrollment of 12 participants.

PROPERTY OF THE WEEK
Worm in the apple BY JASON ROBIE What’s worse than biting into an apple and finding a worm? Finding half of a worm! The lesson here is not biting off more than you can chew. We’ve been talking a bit about renting versus buying. There are strong cases for both depending on your current situation. For those thinking long-term, buying can be a better option and can help you develop strong community ties and an appreciating investment. But how much can you chew? In the spirit of disclosure, I write this today in anticipation of my closing this afternoon. I’m actually writing this from a motel room since I moved my bed and, more importantly, my TV out of the house yesterday. It is a bitter sweet day as I’m excited to have sold my home and excited to see what my next real estate adventure will bring. It is a little bitter because I love the house I built and have enjoyed calling it “home” for the past two Jason Robie years. Selling at this point was always the plan so I knew this day would come. That said it is still the first home I have built and called my own. One of the reasons for selling this home is the fact that I simply could not afford to keep living there. The mortgage is not a problem, but the additional bills that pile up became a little too much. A decent real estate agent will talk with you about the price of the home and might even discuss the actual monthly costs. A really good agent will talk to you about the “real” price of the home and educate you on the potential unforeseen expenses that often take new homeowners by surprise. In my particular case, I knew the majority of the costs associated, but a few still snuck up on me. If you are building a new home, the bank is going to do a pretty good job of ensuring that you have the funds available to complete the project. It is clearly in their best interest to have the money they are investing on your behalf produce a “sellable” home in the end. I don’t think it is uncommon to use personal monies to complete construction projects, but using additional credit lines outside of the mortgage would not be a good recommendation. (Ask me how I know.) Once the home is built and you are settling in, those additional credit bills start to roll in and they are no less important than your mortgage. It is here where you can start to feel overwhelmed if you had not appropriately planned. The other expenses such as taxes and insurance are sometimes included in the mortgage payment amount. Banks will often add money to your monthly payments and add those funds to a special account for the insurance and taxes. This is a great way to manage your costs and is highly recommended. Unless you are very good with your money and budgeting, the tax bill and insurance bill will inevitably surprise you. Often these bills arrive at the most inopportune times. If you are also trying to manage additional credit line payments, these extra expenses can become a little too much. see ROBIE page 39
A Brownfield survivor This week’s featured property is the Stone Mountain House, one of the oldest buildings left in Brownfield after the fire of 1947.
BROWNFIELD — The Stone Mountain House, built in 1882, is one of the oldest buildings left in Brownfield after the fire of 1947. The old Victorian with its Mansard roof houses one in a long line of businesses that continues to service the community. The Edge of Maine Frame and Gallery on Main Street is now in its sixth year. Having hosted over 20 gallery exhibits for local artists as well as representing 15 local artisans, the shop maintains a foothold within the greater arts community of Maine and New Hampshire. In addition to this retail space, there are rooms available on a short-term rental basis for added income. Being close to the Stone Mountain Arts Center, Stone Mountain House is able to accommodate the center's guest stars, as well as many visitors coming to the valley for the events. The lodging and its website will be sold with the real estate, but the frame and gallery business shall travel with the sellers to their next destination. The website for the lodging business is http://www.182main.com/ our-town/ The property, located at 182 Main Street in Brownfield, is priced at $219,900. Debra Phaneuf, of RE/MAX Presidential in North Conway, is the listing agent. She can be reached at 356-9444, Ext. 217 (office), 9860335 (cell) or debbie@mwvhomes. com.

Education and planning are the keys to a successful journey into home ownership. With a good understanding of your monthly expenses, buying a home can be a smooth transition from the world of rentals and open up whole new experiences for you as a homeowner. You will not be surprised by the monthly expenses and will have reserves in place for those unexpected costs. I never was annoyed when the oil truck drove down my driveway as I had been putting money aside for heating. The electric bill never really strayed too far from what it was when I was renting and other tertiary bills like cable and phone have no real bearing on where you are living. A successful transition from renting to owning is within your reach if you plan ahead. There is no shortage of articles about short sales and foreclosures in today’s media. We were certainly more fortunate than many parts of the country in that we saw very few of these by comparison. I think the main reason for a majority of these is simply lack of planning. Of course there were a few unscrupulous lenders that pushed buyers into more home than they could truly afford, but for the most part the buyer has to shoulder a good percentage of that responsibility. Variable rate, interest only and balloon payment mortgages each serve a valid purpose in the world of real estate, but they are not for everyone and every situation. I purchased the land on which I built my home using a variable rate mortgage with a balloon payment due in three years. This would have been crazy to purchase my house with, but knowing the land would be subdivided and I would be building a home

A good friend of mine just bought a condo with a variable rate mortgage. This works well for her since the rates are so amazingly low right now and she plans to sell the condo in 5 or 6 years. The worst that could happen is her rate will jump 2 points in that time frame. Still a very attractive rate and that is still only a possibility, not a confirmed rate hike. Again, for the specific situation, it makes the most sense. I’m a believer in home ownership. The feeling of pride and the comfort of coming home to a place I built and customized is second to none. I was fortunate to find a buyer that loves the mountains as much as I do and they will make this house their home now. Because this is such a great time to buy, I am already on the lookout for a new home and will be sure to plan and budget a little more conservatively this time around. Perhaps this time I will avoid the worm. Jason Robie is a staff writer for Badger Realty in North Conway. Phone number is (603) 356-5757. Robie's e-mail address is jason@ridgeviewtechnology.com.
Housing starts rise 1.5% in January
WASHINGTON — Building on significant upward revisions to numbers for the previous two months, nationwide production of new single-family homes and apartments increased 1.5 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of nearly 700,000 units in January, according to newly released figures from the U.S. Commerce Department. This marks the second-best pace of overall housing production since October of 2008. “Today’s solid housing starts report indicates that builders are putting more of their crews back to work, and adds to the growing field of evidence that the overall housing market is gradually but consistently moving in the right direction,” said Barry Rutenberg, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders and a home builder from Gainesville, Fla. In addition to today’s numbers, recent builder surveys have indicated steadily increasing optimism regarding market conditions while the number of improving housing markets nationwide has grown substantially over the past six months, he noted. “The fact that the three-month moving average for housing starts has now increased for nine consecutive months and is approaching the 700,000 mark for the first time since October of 2008 is indicative of a solid see STARTS page 40

recovery in housing activity stemming from recent firming in employment and consumer confidence measures,” agreed National Association of Home Builders' chief economist David Crowe. “That said, housing production is still far from what would be considered normal in a healthy market, and many challenges remain for home builders in terms of tight credit conditions, difficult appraisals and the continued flow of foreclosed properties on the market – all of which are certainly slowing the pace of improvement in both housing and the overall economy.” Following significant upward revisions reported for both November and December, single-family starts held virtually flat in January with a 1.0 percent decline to a 508,000-unit rate. Together with the revised December number, this is the best pace of single-family starts since April of 2010, when the home buyer tax credit was active. Meanwhile, single-family building permits, which can be an indicator of future construction activity, also held virtually unchanged, with a 0.9 percent increase in January to 445,000 units – again, the best pace since April of 2010. The multifamily segment also continued to display greater strength in January following a 55 percent increase in starts activity in 2011 that was attributed to rising demand for rental apartments. While multifamily starts rose 8.5 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 191,000 units for the month, permits edged up 0.4 percent to 231,000 units. The South, which is the nation’s largest regional housing market, posted the biggest gain in housing starts in January with an 18.3 percent increase, while the West and Northeast also posted significant gains of 11.9 percent and 7.9 percent, respectively. The Midwest was the exception to the rule, posting a 40.7 percent decline that partially offset a dramatic gain in the previous month.

Agency (FHFA) to proceed cautiously with its Real Estate-Owned (REO) Initiative pilot program to sell homes repossessed by government agencies to private investors to convert into rental units. “As the nation’s leading advocate for homeownership and housing issues, Realtors support efforts to reduce the high inventories of foreclosures, but all real estate is local and we are concerned that REOto-rental programs are not necessary in some areas and could even hinder the recovery,” said association president Moe Veissi, broker-owner of Veissi and Associates Inc., in Miami. “In many communities REOs are already moving well through the normal processes, so we urge caution when proceeding with a rental program.” According to a recent National Association of Realtors’ analysis, while the overall visible inventory of foreclosures has been trending down across the country, there is a noticeable difference in foreclosure inventories in states that require judicial see PILOT PROGRAM page 42

proceedings to foreclose on a property versus inventories in states that do not require the court’s intervention. Foreclosure inventories in judicial states are currently 2.5 times higher than non-judicial states. In addition, the disposition of foreclosure inventories is considerably faster in nonjudicial states, where foreclosure sales rates are four times higher than in judicial states. “Inventories of condos and singlefamily homes for sale continuously fell last year, suggesting that there is no significant oversupply of visible foreclosure inventory in the market,” said association chief economist Lawrence Yun. “Even the shadow inventories of distressed homes have fallen, though they remain elevated and are an ongoing concern. The government REO-torental plan could work in areas where buyers are not quickly absorbing the shadow inventory.” To prevent further increases in fore-
closure inventory, National Association of Realtors has repeatedly called for improved lending to creditworthy home buyers and have urged lenders to make more loan modifications, mortgage refinancings, and short sales, which will help stabilize struggling housing markets. “While REO-to-rental programs could be successful in a few communities, we believe that doing more to ensure mortgage availability for qualified home buyers and investors could be even more beneficial in helping absorb excess foreclosure inventories across the country,” said Veissi. National Association of Realtors urges that a national advisory board be created to ensure that current and future REO-to-rental pilot programs truly benefit the local community, minimize taxpayer losses and stabilize home values, and suggests substantial participation of local market experts, especially licensed real estate professionals, who have unparalleled knowledge of local market conditions.

Home builders’ association announces reform plan for housing finance system
WASHINGTON — The National Association of Home Builders Friday announced a new comprehensive framework for housing finance system reform that would transition Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to a new mortgage securitization system for singlefamily and multifamily conventional mortgages. “Our plan seeks to overhaul the housing finance system to ensure that housing credit is available and affordable in the future and is delivered through a competitive, efficient, sound, safe and stable system,” said association chairman Barry Rutenberg. To achieve this goal, Rutenberg said the system must include private, federal and state sources of housing capital; offer a reasonable menu of sound mortgage products for both singlefamily and multifamily housing that is governed by prudent underwriting standards and adequate oversight and
Raymond
regulation; and provide a federal backstop to ensure that 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages are available at reasonable interest rates and terms. Replacing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with a new securitization system for conventional mortgages backed by private capital and a privately funded federal mortgage-backed securities fund must be done in an orderly fashion over time. During this phase-in period, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would remain operational until the alternative system is fully functioning. Under this scenario, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would be gradually replaced by private housing finance entities that would be chartered to purchase single-family and multifamily mortgages from loan originators and package the loans into securities for sale to investors worldwide. The federal government would guarantee the securities, not the mortgages.
