Is puberty before 10 now normal?
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– DIGEST––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
(NY Times) — One day last year when her daughter, Ainsley, was 9, Tracee Sioux pulled her out of her elementary school in Fort Collins, Colo., and drove her an hour south, to Longmont, in hopes of finding a satisfying reason that Ainsley began growing pubic hair at age 6. Ainsley was the tallest child in her third-grade class. She had a thick, enviable blond-streaked ponytail and big feet, like a puppy’s. The curves of her Levi’s matched her mother’s. Over the past three years, Tracee had taken Ainsley to see several doctors. They ordered blood tests and boneage X-rays and turned up nothing unusual. “The doctors always come back with these blank looks on their faces, and then they start redefining what normal is,” Tracee said. For many parents of earlydeveloping girls, “normal” is a crazy-making word, especially when uttered by a doctor; it implies that the patient, or patient’s mother, should quit being neurotic and accept that not much can be done. Tracee and Ainsley visited the office of Jared Allomong, an applied kinesiologist. “It doesn’t test like it’s her own estrogens,” Allomong reported to Tracee. “I think it’s xeno-estrogens, from the environment,” he explained. “And I think it’s stress and insulin and sugar.” “You can’t be more specific?” Tracee asked, pleading. “Like tell me what crap in my house I can get rid of?” Allomong shook his head.

Recall election for Wisconsin governor who battled unions

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
(NY Times) — Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, who has battled public employee unions since taking office last year, will become the first governor in the state’s history to face a recall election, a state board ruled on Friday after finding that critics had collected more than enough signatures to force a vote. The Government Accountability Board voted unanimously
to approve the new election after finding that 900,938 state residents had signed petitions demanding the recall. Under state law, far fewer signatures were needed — 540,208, or 25 percent of the total votes cast in the last governor’s election. Governor Walker, a Republican elected to his first term in 2010, had been the topic of recall demands since shortly
after he took office and pushed for sharp cuts in benefits and collective bargaining rights for most state workers. In the nation’s history, only two governors have been removed by recall: Gray Davis of California, in 2003, and Lynn Frazier of North Dakota, in 1921. The primary elections were set for May 8, with the general election was scheduled for June 5.
Obama clears way to tighten Iranian oil sanctions

Saturday High: 45 Record: 76 (1977) Sunrise: 6:27 a.m.
Everyone is normal until you get to know them.” —Dave Sim
BURLINGTON, Vt. (NY Times) — President Obama has determined there is enough oil in world markets to allow countries to rely less on imports from Iran, a step that could increase Western actions to deter Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, an administration official said Friday. Obama is required by law to decide by March 30, and every six months after, whether the price and supply of non-Iranian oil is sufficient to allow for countries to cut their oil purchases from Iran. Obama’s decision was to be announced Friday afternoon in a conference call, the official said. He made the decision after consultations with a number of oil exporters that had agreed to
increase production. The decision comes even as gas prices have risen in recent months, a rise that his political advisers say could hamper his re-election efforts. The new sanctions, passed as part of the defense budget and mandated by the Senate in a rare 100-to-0 vote, penalize foreign corporations or other entities that purchase oil from Iran’s central bank, which collects payment for most of the country’s energy exports. The penalties are meant to pressure Iran to curb its nuclear program. The law includes loopholes that allow Obama to waive the measures if they threaten national security or if gas prices increase.
As troops exit Afghanistan, businesses may follow
KABUL, Afghanistan (NY Times) — America may be struggling to come up with a viable exit plan for Afghanistan, but Abdul Wasay Manani, 38, is sure of his. The Afghan butcher spent seven years trucking cattle in from the Pakistan border and building a thriving business for himself and his family, serving up some of the best hamburgers in Kabul. This month, Manani flew to India for 14 days to scout out a new business, and a new home, ready to leave Afghanistan, just in case things fall apart when most Americans and other foreign troops leave in 2014. “If the Taliban come like last time, ordering people around with whips, I can’t stay here,” he said. “I have to leave this country to keep my family safe.” Many Afghans share his concern. Interviews with business owners, analysts and economists paint a picture of extreme anxiety in both the domestic and international business communities as the Afghan-United States relationship deteriorates and as the Western drawdown begins.

Chamber to cancel everything but summer BY BEN WAITING THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — The White Mountain Milers Half Marathon in October ... The rainy New Year’s fireworks ... A foiled sled dog ascent attempt up the Mount Washington Auto Road in March ...The last day of the Nordic Meisters season ... The list of canceled events goes on: The end-of-season canceled Jesse E. Lyman III Memorial Downhill and the Jen’s Friends fund-raiser for Mountain Meisters at Cranmore ... King Pine’s splash ponds ... The maple syruping season .... For that matter, the entire no-show, non-winter of 2011-12. After a year of weather-impacted and often canceled events, the steering committee of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce’s
events committee threw in the towel this week and has decided that as of April 1, they will no longer be planning any more events for the rest of the year. “Why bother?” asked Janis Crawfoot of the chamber. “You do all that work, and for what? It’s supposed to snow, and it rains for a ski event. You plan for a running race, and it rains. You put on a snow event, and you’ve got bare ground in March. It’s all just a waste of time, and frankly, time is money,” said Crawfoot, who said many have long wondered whether the chamber should be doing event planning any way. From now on, she said, with Global Warming becoming more and more a factor, winter will just be canceled. Mud season, too (not that anyone’s complaining about the latter).

Mildweathercat Ski Area in Prettyinpink Notch and Yawning Peak of Maine both said they are looking into installing year-round snow golf courses. Meanwhile, Block Mountain owner Jon Fishyera of Jackson says it’s much ado about nothing. “We’re the oldest ski area around, and we’ve been putting up with these snowless winters since 1935, so what’s the big deal or the need to change anything?” he said.

“We’re just going to go with summer. It’s a lot easier on everyone,” said Crawfoot, who said the committee can take such action, because “it’s Mount Washington Valley, where anything is possible - except winter.” National Geographic revises Top 25 ski town rating In a final footnote, as a result of the decision by the chamber not to promote winter any longer, National Geographic has revised its selection of North Conway being one of the ‘Top 25 Ski Towns in the World,” saying from now on, the town will be in its listing of “Top 25 Non-Ski Towns in the World,” ranking it alongside such towns as Los Angeles, Cairo and Miami.

The big pine tree that is decorated with lights each year for the holiday season is not healthy. Last year it was treated for an infestation, but it hasn’t helped much as many of the branches are brown. Anticipating that the tree will not live and have to be cut down, Conway Village officials are considering alternatives. One idea, shown above, is to stack a pile of boards into the shape of a tree. Conway official Lightemup Larry proposed the pile of boards idea and offered the town would save money on Christmas lights by really lighting up the “tree.”

DIGEST OF STORIES IN THE SUN THIS WEEK
Saturday, March 24 * Despite this past week’s record-breaking temperatures and the meltdown’s impact on snow conditions, the spring ski season goes on in the famed ski bowl of Tuckerman Ravine. * A skier who fell near the top of the run known as the Chute in Tuckerman Ravine March 17 was airlifted by helicopter and transport5ed to Maine Medical Center, where he was treated for injuries and released. * It was a short winter for bears, too. Many bears went to den later than usual last year due to unseasonably warm temperatures, and they have already awakened from their short naps and are foraging for food.

Tele-Talk Would you like to see a study done on the educational and financial impacts of closing an elementary school? Conway voters will be asked April 10 if they support “thoroughly researching the educational and financial impact of closing an elementary school in the Conway School District.” This is an amendment to an original nonbinding question, asking voters if they support closing an elementary school. School board member John Skelton, speaking as “a private citizen,” offered the amendment at the deliberative portion of annual school meeting earlier this month. Skelton said it was unfair to ask citizens “to take a position on an issue as complex as the closing of an elementary school” without giving them more information. The amended Article 21 does not ask voters for money for a study — only whether they support having a study done. If the answer if yes, the next steps would be to find out how much a study will cost and then ask voters if they’re willing to pay for it. This week’s question is: Would you like to see a study done on the educational and financial impacts of closing an elementary school? 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.

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Romney’s Roadmap It’s not difficult to analyze Campaign 2012. A kindergarten pupil could do it if he followed these simple instructions: Take a map of the United States and three crayons. Color the states Mitt Romney has won so far in red. Color the states Rick Santorum has won in blue. Color the states Newt Gingrich has won in green. Then look at the results. You’ll see that Romney’s states replicate almost exactly the states Barack Obama won four years ago. Almost all of Santorum’s states line up with the states John McCain took. Gingrich’s two states also went for McCain. That leads us to these twin conclusions: Romney is weak where the Republicans are strong and strong where the Republicans are weak. Santorum (and Gingrich) shows strength in Republican areas and weakness in Democratic areas. There are few nuances in these results. Romney has lost three states that have voted Republican 11 consecutive times and one state that voted Republican each of the last 12 times except for 1976, when a Southerner, Gov. Jimmy Carter of Georgia, was on the ballot. He lost two states that have voted Republican 10 of the last 12 times. Not every presumptive Republican nominee can claim that. To take this analysis to the next level: Santorum speaks to the GOP base for the general election in 2012, Romney to areas where Republicans will likely struggle in November. That’s the easy part. The hard part is figuring out whether Romney’s profile is a prescription for winning the general election or a roadmap to disaster. Let’s take the dark side for Romney first. By basically relinquishing the South, the party’s modern base — losing six of the eight states of the Old Confederacy that have voted -- Romney has displayed a dangerous inability to speak the rhetoric and speak to the issues that made the GOP the party of governance for much of the period 1969 to 2009. Romney shows special weakness in the states McCain carried in his losing effort four years ago — and not special strength in two of the key Obama states that will be critical in 2012, Ohio and Michigan, where the former Massachusetts governor’s margins were very thin. This is a formula for a very challenging Republican general election campaign. Now let’s look at the rosier side for Romney. If all those states were all that loyal to the Republicans for all that time, why should a Republican be fearful of his prospects in 2012? Can anyone plausibly argue that Kansas or Oklahoma, each with perfect Republican results since 1968 and each with a Republican governor and two Republican senators, will vote for Obama this fall after having spurned Romney in the winter? Indeed, can anyone plausibly argue that any Republican nominee, even if it is Ramona Quimby — even if it is her sister, Beezus — will fail to win Louisiana (which McCain took with nearly 59 percent) or Mississippi (McCain’s score: 56 percent), both of which Romney lost? By this reading, you might even argue that Romney has very cleverly leveraged his time and money to win states he must take in November — Ohio and Michigan, of course, but also Washington, Nevada, Florida and Virginia, all of which
Tin Roof Primitives
were in the Obama column in 2008. Very clever, those Boston boys. Of the two reckonings, the latter — favoring Romney — may be more nearly correct. But that doesn’t mean Romney doesn’t have high hurdles, maybe even trouble, ahead. A Gallup poll last month found that only about a third of Republicans said they would enthusiastically back Romney in November. That’s a dangerous number; presidential nominees count on enthusiastic backing from their parties, the better to get out the vote and to raise money. In his campaigning leading up to Tuesday’s Wisconsin primary, Santorum made a statement that should send chills through the headquarters of Team Romney in Boston’s North End, located poetically across the street from the old Polcari restaurant, a favorite of Romney’s 1994 Senate opponent, Edward M. Kennedy. “Pick any other Republican in the country -- he is the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama,” Santorum said in Franksville. “We need someone who can go out and rally the Republican base.” That is true. But the party also needs someone who can win several of the Obama 2008 states, including Virginia and Florida, both of which Romney took. And Romney might take comfort in the 2008 map and seeing that Obama won several states — New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, California and others — that he had lost to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic primaries. So the topic now changes to what Obama was able to do in 2008 -- and what Romney must do four years later. Campaign staffs always feud, so the frosty relationship between the Romney and Santorum camps can be dismissed as a factor in the general election. It is possible to argue that Clinton’s resentment of Obama as an arriviste was stronger than Romney’s personal dislike of Santorum. So if Obama and Clinton were able to find common cause in 2008, surely Romney and Santorum can do the same. The political differences between the 2008 Democrats were arguably less distinct than those between the two leading 2012 Republican contenders, though. And while the differences between supporters of Obama and Clinton were minimal — reminiscent of those between supporters of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Sen. Eugene McCarthy in 1968, more emotional than rational — the tensions between Romney and Santorum supporters are significant. Romney will need Santorum supporters if he wins the GOP nomination in Tampa, Fla., this August. He’ll need them to boost turnout, to provide campaign labor and to infuse his drive to the White House with the passion his campaign has not yet displayed. A truce between the principals is possible, even likely. A truce among their followers is a different challenge entirely — and indispensable to whatever map the Romney team puts together when it crafts its election strategy this summer.

Email is your friend
Paper to no longer accept paper Before Al Gore invented the Internet, there was this thing called a “FAX” machine. Remember that? Well, people still use them, however as of Monday they will no longer be accepted at The Conway Daily Sun. In an effort to help push the community into the 21st century, the Sun will no longer be accepting hand written or faxed Letters to the Editors. Email is now your friend and the hope is it becomes your best friend. Ten out of 10 people surveyed under the age of 40 have no idea what a FAX machine is. in fact, four swore it had something to do with a coffee shop and two contended it was a new text messaging dialogue for Frequently Adjusted X-rays. Fax machines, much like the days of the Pony Express, have run their course. They are dog slow (just think how many K-9s will be delighted to hear the ear piercing squelch become thing of the past); people under the age of 50 don’t know how to use them; things have moved on since 1999; and they create endless paper jams. It’s more than obvious that the high technology of the information age isn’t for everyone. Consider the man standing by the office fax machine and scratching his head when a co-worker walks by. “Do you know anything about this fax machine?” the puzzled fellow asks. “A little. What’s wrong?” “Well, I sent a fax, and the recipient called back to say all she received was a blank page. I tried it again, and the same thing happened.” “How did you load the sheet?” the other worker asks. “Well, it’s confidential, so I folded it in half, like this, so no one else could read it.”

Happy that April 1 falls on Sunday this year To the editor: I’m not the sort of person who writes letters to the editor, but sometimes some things just have to be said, so I guess I’ll have to say them. I wanted to let you know that I worry every year when it gets near to April 1. When you do those April Fools’ stories of the paper, I’m always fooled. I don’t like that. Last year, I was three days telling people
they were going to extend that roller coaster thing from the mountain into the village, and nobody told me it was a joke. Well I guess the joke was on me. I’m so glad that April 1 is on a Sunday so you won’t be doing it this year. Also, could you bring back the Monday paper? I really liked the Monday paper. Joan Q. Plimpton West Conway

NEW YORK — Carroll County residents will want to set their VCRs on Wednesday evenings this fall. Bravo and MTV networks are teaming up to unveil the The Real Commissioners of Carroll County — with 24 episodes covering the every move of the Carroll County Commissioners. “After a lengthy casting call, we’ve come up with a cast we thing will put Carroll County on the map,” producer Qquentin Tarantino said during a phone interview with the Sun. “Beyond that, I’m not at liberty to say much more. The best advise I can give is, tune in.
School board member Randy Davison, who found himself in a hailstorm of controversy last winter when the Sun revealed that his over exuberant behavior at high school sports games drew complaint letters, is channeling his enthusiasm in a more positive way. He was recently named coach of the cheerleading squad and is shown here practicing some of his new moves.
Davison to lead school cheerzleading squad
CONWAY — In the wake of the revelations made public following the court case this winter school officials have asked school board member Randy Davison to take over duties of the school cheerleading squad. “I never realized how motivating ‘Suck it up cupcake,’ could be,” athletic director Mary Grady said. “He’s
proven he has what it takes at game after game.” The squad already puts in a strong showing game after game, Grady said, but with Davison’s energy there should be no stopping them. Davison has already brought his indefatigable spirit to practice, showing up in a full cheering outfit with a
megaphone. “This has been my dream all my life,” Davison said. “I cheered in college, but I didn’t make the cut when I tried out for the New York Knicks.” “I won’t let the school down,” he said. Davison has agreed to take the position at no charge to the taxpayers. “I go to every game anyway,”
he said. “This will help me reach a wider segment of the audience.” Due to medical complications, however, Davison said he will not be able attend any games in Berlin for the next year. “I just get too excited,” he said. “The fans up there love my antics, but it’s bad for my blood pressure.”

Since deciding by a 56-23 vote in January to not apply for a $150,000 redevelopment federal grant because the application required a section of Fryeburg to be defined as a “slum,” bad things have happened to that part of town. If it gets any worse, say public officials, it really will be a slum.
Fryeburg slum district continues to spread
FRYEBURG — Local business owners and officials at Fryeburg Academy have turned to the state for help in the wake of the expanding blight that has threatened to overtake the scenic mountain views and riverway. “At this rate the Lana L. Eastham Performing Arts Center will be full of scrapped cars and dirty syringes by autumn,” said Charles Bonnington, the academy provost. The summer season still looks promising, according to Winston Sheffy, owner of Eastern Bridge Campground, but “people are starting to get scared. They’re have been a handful of canoe-jackings, and if this keeps spreading people will start cancelling.”
Town officials, meanwhile, are blaming the voters for the problems. “We warned you,” selectman Thomas Filkney said. “We came to the voters looking to designate part of the town a slum and blighted before it started spreading, but the voters didn’t listen. Now look at what’s happening.” A Fryeburg Police spokesman said there had been a spike in jaywalking arrests and violations for misuse of blinker, causing their average yearly statistics to shoot right off the charts. “I’m not sure what we’ll do if this trend continues,” said Cpl. Jason Meldoon. “The start of the epidemic was right here, across from the Westford House and
next to Belfast Bank.” Things have only gone downhill since the vote in January, he said, when it became clear slum and blight would be allowed to stay. State officials said the town had a chance to address the problem, which they rejected. “I’m not sure what we can do,” Chris Matson, a spokesman for Gov. Pat Lemon said. At the current rate of expansion of 30 feet a week the slum will overwhelm Fryeburg’s downtown by mid-May. “It’s outrageous,” Filkney said. “By the end of the year the oldest town in Oxford County could be nothing but a mud hut. This is not going to help property values.”

By day, Marvell spends his time trying to make ends meet, and finding fault.

The Rolling Stones are set to rock at Stone Mountain BROWNFIELD, Maine — Local music lovers know that this tiny hamlet in the foothills of western Maine over the past five years has become the center of the music universe. (Well, at least, their music universe. But we digress ....) Now one of the greatest rock bands of all time is about to be let in on their secret. According to a waitress who asked not to be identified (hey, thanks for the tip, Muriel!), a press conference is rumored to be scheduled for Sunday to announce that the Rolling Stones are to play shows on an upcoming world tour that will include stops in Tokyo, Paris, and yes, it appears, not-sobustling Brownfield at Carol Noonan and Jeff Flagg’s Stone Mountain Arts Center (aka SMAC). “I’m told they’re to bill the show ‘Stones at Stone Mountain,’ ” said the anonymous but well-informed waitress (who is always this entertainment reporter’s favorite — not only for her always reliable insider news tips, but also because she makes a great Caesar salad whenever we go to Stone Mountain. Ask for Muriel — but then, we digress). “Imagine,” said one longtime SMAC fan, “Mick, Keef and the boys, rocking the foothills of western Maine. I can’t wait to hear Carol [Noonan], Duke [Levine] and Kevin [Barry] backing them up on such classics as ‘Brown
Sugar’ — in Brownfield, Maine, no less! Awesome, right? I mean, ‘I know, it’s only rock ‘n roll, but I like it,’ ha ha ha. Talk about ‘Satisfaction!’ This will literally bring the roof down.” Opened in 2006, Stone Mountain has featured such acts as David Bromberg, Judy Collins, Lucinda Williams, and most recently, Los Lobos. “They’ve all been good, but this will really make Brownfield rock,” said the source at Thursday night’s Los Lobos show (which was a really great show, ending with a version of their hit song, “How Far is Heaven?” which they amended to “How Far is Brownfield?,” much to the delight of local residents, who were in on the joke about the arts center being so remote, but then, back to the main story). “I don’t know what we’ll do about parking, but we’ll deal with that when they show up,” said longtime fan and parking attendant Dan Wailingon. So, rock on with the Stones at Stone (Mountain). See you there. Oh yeah: one last thing: In addition to great salads, our waitress source, by the way, also serves a mean pizza at SMAC — ask Muriel, I mean, the unnamed waitress/news source about the Earthy Crunchy. It starts with a basil pesto sauce, fresh asparagus, chopped tomatoes and goat cheese and chopped tomatoes — but then again, we digress.

abeth “Snooki” Polizzi to play Asha Kenney. The actors will spend the summer with the commissioner they’ll be portraying and learning their every move before the cameras role in the fall. Polizzi, 24, is an American reality television personality who has appeared on the MTV reality show Jersey Shore starting in 2009. She since started her own line of cosmetics as well as sponsoring a stable of boxers. “I am so excited because we are going to see the crocadillies,” Polizzi said when asked about what she expects when she visits New Hampshire for the first time this June. “...I’m not sure what lobsters eat, but I think they eat like insects or something... so I was gonna feed them worms. “We are going to Wakefield,” she added. “Wakefield means like guidos juicehead gorillas, sexy, tanned, sweaty boys. and house music. Asha and I are going to show the Hampshire’s what gal-power is all about.” Sheindlin is excited about the opportunity to get away from the bench and pursue a deeper acting role. She’s excited about playing Solomon. “Dorothy is wonderful,: Sheindlin said and then immediately changed her tone, “’You, sir, are a low-life, amoral piece of crap!’ Sorry, I was in character just then, I brought out my inner-Solomon.” “If you live to be a hundred, you will never be as smart as me. On your BEST day, you’re not as smart as I am on my WORST day,’ again it’s just me channeling Dorothy,” Sheindlin added. “I can’t wait to get started. ‘...When you mess
around with jail-bait, you accept the consequences! ‘ Again, not me.” As of 2011 the Judge Judy program has been nominated 14 times for Daytime Emmy Awards. Voight, 73, said this isn’t his “first rodeo,” and is certain he’ll be able to portray Sorsensen, although he’s admittedly cautious about the beekeeping scenes. Voight has received an Academy Award, out of four nominations, and three Golden Globe Awards, out of nine nominations. He said previous movies may help him. “I would imagine this character will be a cross between Midnight Cowboy and Deliverance,” he said. The Real Commissioners will following along the reality television lines of the successful Real Housewives franchise and the Jersey Shore. The Real Housewives is a reality television program on the Bravo network which originally followed the lives of five women in and around several upscale communities Jersey Shore is an American reality television series that premiered on MTV on December 3, 2009 in the United States. The series follows the lives of eight housemates spending their summer at the Jersey Shore in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Solomon and Sorensen were originally skeptical of three actors running the county for six months, but Kenney set their minds at ease. “You say what do they know about government, well what do I know,” she said. “And besides, let’s see if Snooki can take better minutes than me. I have a feeling you’ll all appreciate me a little more after this.”

Rep. Guinta is New Hampshire’s eyes.
Guinta still focused on the U.S. primary WASHINGTON — Self-appointed Primary Ambassador Frank Guinta is keeping his eye on the Republican Presidential Primary race. In explaining his non-endorsement in the Granite State, Guinta said, “Rather than work on behalf of one candidate or campaign, I have chosen to be an ambassador on behalf of theprimary tradition itself. … I make this pledge today: whoever emerges as the Republican presidential nominee, I will be at their side this fall doing everything I can to help the GOP reclaim the White House in November.” Guinta purchased this periscope on E-Bay to keep his eye on the prize.
Local representative gooses new bus services Move over Blue Loon, the Golden Goose is coming to Mount Washington Valley thanks to a local lottery winner.
CONWAY -- A local state representative is using her lottery winnings to help the less fortunate get around the county in style with her Golden Goose bus line. Karen Yumburger (D-Conway) won $400 million through the lottery last year. She’s using almost all the money to start the Golden Goose bus service. Ridership has taken off. The Golden Goose has given 25 rides since it began in January. “When I started this, I didn’t care if it only helped one person but now I have the satisfaction of knowing I helped 25 people who may or may not have been able to get where

they were going before I spent my fortune,” said Yumburger. Each bus is equipped with its own hot tub, liquor bar and fondue maker. And why not? The Golden Goose also gets plenty of funding from taxpayers. “We want people to relax when they’re on the Golden Goose,” said Yumburger. Just in case anyone forgets who founded the Golden Goose, the lawmaker’s face is plastered on the side of each luxury bus, which gets seven miles to the gallon. “This should help when I run for governor,” said Yumburger.

Teddy Cayers writes budget committee blockbuster CONWAY — Fresh after writing books on boxing and sensational crimes, local author Dr. Ted “Please Don’t Say Doctor - Call Me Anything But That” Cayers has a book signing at White Birch Books Sunday for his latest tome, “Fractured: The True Story of What Goes on at the Budget Committee.” “I don’t mean to talk over anyone’s heads — and please don’t ever bring this up, as I won’t want to hear about it — but I’m just saying I do have a doctorate and that does help me see and explain things that probably none of my fellow budget committee members understand, let alone readers of my great new book,” said Cayers, throwing in a few “deltas” and “alphas” for good measure throughout his book, which is his detailed account of the inner workings of the frequently attacked budget committee and how insignificant it all seems, given how he has micromanaged multi-million dollar budgets for Fortune 500 companies compared to the town’s puny by comparison $9 million operating budget. The new book picks up where his last two have left off — the first was on boxing, and the most recent was on sensational crimes. Although just off the presses, Cayers’ new book has already received rave reviews by many fellow academic doctors in the community, including Dr. Carl Nulson and Dr. Therese Davisdaughter. “I haven’t read the book yet actually,”

“If everyone on the budget committee and in the public just went along with everything that the ‘doctor in the house’ says — now that would be the best economic medicine for everyone!” blushed Davisdaughter, who is musical director of the local high school, Canit High, and recently obtained her doctorate. “I just like the fact that it’s written by a fellow doctor — not of the medical kind, mind you, but of the academic degree kind, because I know how much work goes into getting your PhD, believe you me — but like Ted, please don’t ever call me ‘Dr.’ either! Really, don’t. I won’t hear of it!” she said, holding back tears. As for whether the budget committee should be rescinded and advisory only as proposed under Articles 34 and 35 of town meeting, to be acted on by voters at the polls April 10, Cayers said it’s clear for an alpha like him to say that things ought to be left as is, with a few minor adjustments. “If everyone on the budget committee and in the public just went along with everything that the ‘doctor in the house’ says — now that would be the best economic medicine for everyone!” laughed Cayers, before adding, “But again, please: don’t ever bring up that doctor thing again. I beg of you! Please ....”

Half the fun may just be getting into the water this summer with the new canoe launch.
Canoe launch unveiled on Saco River to take care of logjams, says Syres
CONWAY — Selectmen have come up with what they feel is a solution to crowded canoe put-in problems in summer in North Conway on the popular Socko River near Hussey Field. Town manager Early Syres said selectmen are scheduled to meet early Sunday morning behind the Eastern Slope Inn with local canoe rental outfitters to unveil their latest proposal for dealing with the crowds of canoeists who often are accused of trampling bathers at the put-ins. “It’s a tall flume ride, for canoes and kayaks,” said Syres. “The town engineer saw one of these at Story Land, the Bamboo Chutes water ride, and thought that it could be retrofit-
ted to carry canoes and kayaks. That way, they could just launch, one after another, from behind the inn. That would take care of the logjams, no problem.” Canoe livery owners were impressed, but questioned who would pay for such a device. “We’re not the only ones who use the river because not everyone rents from us — many bring their own canoes, so they ought to charge all those using the launch when they splash off,” said Socko Bound’s Bob Tagthisone, one of many operators on the river. “But we would be happy to help educate people on how to properly launch, no problem.”

Power outage in North Conway Village CONWAY — Fed up with the board’s inability to make a decision regarding streetlights in North Conway Village, Smarten Martin, in his final official act, has declared all lights out. “No streetlights, no store lights, no car headlights,” Martin said. “North Conway is going dark.” Fellow board members were at first stunned by the idea, but they eventually came around. “That’s a brilliant idea,” said selectman Howard Blackbird. “It’s a 100-watter. Excuse me. My cell phone’s ringing.” Martin said the lights-out edict will save the town and businesses money and will cut down on light pollution. “We’ll be able to see the stars again,” said Martin, just back from a Amish retreat in Pennsylvania. Part of the inspiration for Martin came from the Amish’s “Valley Of No Wires,” so named because, well, there are no utility wires and therefore no lights. “The Amish are guided by the light in their souls, as we all should be,” Martin said. Concerns were raised about pedestrian safety in a dark North Conway Village, but Martin said, “There has never been a single Amish pedestrian hit by a horse and buggy in the Valley Of No Wires.” Martin said since lights won’t even be allowed in North Conway Village, the town can further follow the Amish example by getting rid of the hideous wires. “Don’t need wires if you’re not using electricity,” Martin reasoned. “We don’t need to spend money to bury the damn things. We can just cut ‘em down.” “Brilliant,” said Blackbird. “That’s a 100watter. Excuse me. My cell phone’s ringing.” A shop owner in the audience said turning out the lights would be bad for business and might lead to vandalism and even looting. “To the contrary,” Martin said. “This will enhance our status as a tourist town. Where else can people shop in the dark? The village will be bustling with activity at night. We just won’t be able to see it.”
The town experimented with kerosene lanterns, but even those are about to get blown out.

one had 20 moths. This inventory is ongoing through the summer. One state threatened species they have collected so far is the Pine Pinion Moth. It was also found there in 2003. But it is important to note that, other than these recent local captures, it has not been collected anywhere in the country in the last 75 to 100 years. Live specimens of the Pine Pinion Moth have been sent to a scientist in New Jersey, who will try to get them to reproduce, and then try to get them to produce multiple generations. The moth will also be described in detail, and a DNA analysis done. The Nature Conservancy has often used endangered plants and animals to justify preserving a piece of land, but another thing going for the Ossipee Pine Barrens, is that it is located above the largest “stratified
drift” aquifer in the state, that provides water for Freedom, Madison, Ossipee and Effingham. The adjacent Freedom Town Forest also helps protect the water quality in this aquifer. My friend and I arrived at the Route 41 entrance to the pine barrens on a chilly and windy day after the heat wave. Spoiled from the heat, I wore a down jacket to ward off the cold. From the kiosk in the parking lot, we took the right hand fork of the 1.3 mile Pine Barrens Loop, and soon were in the forest proper that I described above. I had visited the pine barrens once before long ago, though didn’t go very far into it. The trail system had not been developed as much as it is today, and in a short distance it felt like I had seen it all. see HIKING page 24

Easter Sunday Brunch
Sunday, April 8th · Served from 9:30-4:00 p.m. from preceding page
Waterville Valley is loaded with ski history, hosting the World Cup and producing Olympians. It bills itself as the birthplace of freestyle skiing and was the first ski area to offer freestyle lessons. The National Championships of Exhibition Skiing were held there in 1971. That first Waterville trip was the foundation for strong friendships that has spanned the years and brought Wong back to New England to Waterville and other resorts where he has taught and done charity events for causes like cystic fibrosis, Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Christa McAuliffe Foundation. For 37 years, Wong’s been a reg-
ular teaching a one man freestyle demo at Nashoba Valley outside Boston. Owner Al Fletcher saw Wong at Waterville in 1972 and asked him to come down to his ski area to promote the sport. Wong’s been doing it every since. For a spell, he did charity events at Attitash and was instrumental in the Legends of Freestyle at Sunday River during the 1990s held in conjunction with the Bust ‘n Burn competition on White Heat. Wong credits former Sunday River owner Les Otten for promoting freestyle skiing at the Maine resort. “He was a fan in the early days of freestyle,” Wong said. “A lot of the public hadn’t seen us since
the late 1970s and early 1980s. He felt combining amateurs and legends would lend more credence to the event. It was a great time to get back together with fellow competitors.” Wong’s career got a boost during a 1972 Pepsi commercial shot at Mammoth Mountain while he was testing skis. Producers told interested skiers to show up at a certain time. Wong did, and became easily identified as he busted bumps and expertly did tricks like a helicopter and outrigger. “That was great timing for the sport and for me,” he said. “People still come up to me to this day telling me how much that commercial influenced them.”

Country Ecology: Evening grosbeaks You may have noticed never seeing evening grosbeaks in the multitudes we used to experience during the lateeighties. Around the usual time of maple sugaring and snowbanks melting, the large, plump yellow and black evening grosbeaks would show up like a clean-up brigade at the bird feeding station, eating you out of your remaining sunflower seed supplies. They would “gleep” continuously while doing so, loud enough to wake you on a late winter weekend morning during their gluttonous pursuit of seed scattered across the snow below. Twenty or more of the males and females were contesting each other, quickly draining the various hanging feeders of black oil or striped sunflower seed contained within. This no longer happens. Now, Christmas counts and other feeding station censuses are demonstrating declining numbers of these colorful grosbeaks, and on a significant level. As usual, the scientific side of the birding world is slow to come up with an explanation of the species’ decline. I think I know what the explanation is: As much as these chunky birds feed on seed during the winter time, they needed the protein-rich larvae of the spruce budworm to feed their young during the summer reproductive season. Scientists watching these birds prey on coniferous forest insect life have noted that their diet shifts considerably during the warmer months, in this regard. Years ago, there was an extreme budworm epidemic in the Maine woods, and there was talk of massive spraying of DDT in old WW II bombers to counteract the outbreak. Waves of old B-25’s were fictionally envisioned spraying the gooey droplets across acres of the sprucefir forests to beat the spruce budworm into submission. (This was before Agent Orange spraying in Vietnam during the sixties took place.) I don’t know how much of this aerial spraying ever
occurred, but it was certainly dreamed of by forestry types. DDT was the solution for any insect problems in those days. The evening grosbeak had migrated across the Canadian hinterland during that period, and it has been suggested that the spruce budworm epidemic was the cause of this western species successfully moving into the eastern forests of the Appalachians, and multiplying in huge numbers. The reproductive needs of the evening grosbeak flocks and the fat budworm larvae went hand in hand. Now that the epidemic has been over for some decades, the population of the big yellow and black birds is reacting to a lack of sustenance in rearing voracious young. Such things go together in the wild. So, we see this relative of the cardinal in fewer pairs now, and not in the numbers these flocks had 10-15 years ago. Before this century, evening grosbeaks lived only in the conifers of western Canada and the high mountains of the Northwest. As they migrated easterly, the first ones were spotted in New York City in 1911. By 1916, small flocks were noticed in the northeast, and the hobby of birdfeeding helped spread them some more—even down to Maryland and by the 1970’s, they were noted in the Gulf States. The first time any backyard birdwatcher encounters the colorful and exciting flock of evening grosbeaks is well remembered, striking one as being escaped parrots or some such exotic species. They are very well endowed with seed-crunching bills, hence their name. The mostly yellow and black males have a long white patch on the black wings, and have huge conical, greenish-yellow mandibles. As chunky as a starling, the sudden, almost miraculous appearance of these stocky birds with their yellow forehead stripes can be birdwatching breathtaking. The silvery gray females join their mates see next page

‘Pollinators of New Hampshire’ nature program Tuesday night ALBANY — Dr. Alan Eaton, entomologist for University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension, will provide an overview of the state’s primary pollinators, both human aided and wild, and the current challenges they face. Join Tin Mountain on Tuesday, April 3, at 7 p.m. to meet some of these specimens. In his presentation, Eaton will begin with a brief description of the types of pollination that New Hampshire plants attact. He then will cover the various types of local pollinators here in the Mount Washington Valley, especially the families of bees. In addition to the

soon, taking over the bird feeders as they clamor for more of their share. Along with the visual image, you’ll be doubly impressed by their appetites. Grosbeaks are very skilled at consuming sunflower seeds, so watch them manipulate the shell around with their mouthparts, and then use the tongue to extract the kernel within. Their partly open, massive beaks seem well designed for this task, and they go at it with great fervor. The seed’s meaty portion goes down the throat, and the hulls drop in one piece to the side. They are very efficient, almost mechanical processors of sunflower seed. Cattle couldn’t be more technically qualified in their foraging, nor pigs. Esteem on your part may go to dismay if their gregarious

information presented, Eaton will have pinned specimens on hand from several bee families as well as a microscope for a closer perspective. If the weather is agreeable, he may even invite live specimens of some wild species. Tin Mountain’s Nature Program Series is sponsored in part by L.L.

numbers become too big to overwhelm you. All in all, I think we are thankful for this newly decreasing statistic — not missing their incredibly aggressive appetites very much. If you’re out hiking in the mountains any summer, you might see a flock fly by below you in swift and undulating flight. Suddenly skimming just above a coniferous stand, with white wing patches showing, their appearance seen from above is startling, like everything else about this striking bird.

But this time, my friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appreciation for the natural world helped open my eyes, and I saw the unique quality of the uniform forest as we left the road behind. I noticed that the dead pitch pine that were still standing were scarred by fire their entire length. Engulfed by flames during a ground fire (now controlled), they fall to the ground quickly and are therefore more useful for nutrition in the nutrient poor soil. We hit a power line, and walked north up it to the next trail junction, where the Pine Barrens Loop turned left back to our car, and a short spur to the West Branch Trail headed into the woods on the right. The West Branch of the Ossipee River winds south through the pine barrens from the southern outlet on Silver Lake, eventually emptying into Ossipee Lake The 3.2 mile West Branch Trail follows it south, beginning across the road from the Silver Lake boat launch on East Shore Drive. The trail eventually comes out near Camp Calumet on Ossipee Lake. From the junction, we turned right a short way and soon reached the river bank. On that cold day, the water was too high and chilly to cross to reach the West Branch Trail on the other side, so we lingered on the riverside a while before turning back to our loop hike. We watched its steady, hypnotic flow through this unique forest. I have always enjoyed a landscape more when a river runs through it. Note: For a map of the preserve, do a Google search for the PDF called: Ossipee Pine Barrens Trail Map and Guide

DILBERT
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll control your spending and calorie intake. You’ll hold your tongue and manage your vices. But you can’t help who you love. You’ll enjoy the quiet time you spend with your feelings. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You recognize the wisdom in silliness and naive beliefs. You don’t mind playing the part of the clown philosopher or eternal optimist if it makes your loved ones feel happier. Seeing their smiles is what it’s all about for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re drawn to upbeat and well-connected people. Shake hands and introduce yourself. By adding only one new friend to your life, you will move your social life to a new level of activity. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You appreciate the one who will interrupt his or her cherished personal routine in order to accommodate you. Even if the effort is small, you don’t take this act of love and sacrifice for granted. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The universe teaches patience and acceptance -- probably by annoying you. Your tolerance grows. If the whole world could be just 10 percent more tolerant, it would seem as though paradise descended upon us. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 31). The relationship sector of your life gets a blast of exciting energy in April. The one you’ve known forever sparks new interest and curiosity in your heart. May brings a promotion. In July, you’ll realize a personal goal. Your hobbies and talents will move you into a different professional and social realm. Capricorn and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 20, 31, 19 and 28.
Get Fuzzy
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ve always believed that you don’t have to know how to do something in order to actually do it. You get an overall sense of things, and you flow with that impulse -- a most effective method now. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your halfhearted effort will yield the same result as your wholehearted effort. It’s not fair, but it’s how things are now. You’ve put in the time and paid your dues. You’ve earned the right to perks like this. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re looking for love, and you will find it. Your true love is likely the one who makes you laugh, makes you wish you were better dressed, or makes you dinner. CANCER (June 22-July 22). When it’s time to be tough, you’ll show no vulnerability. Being able to defend yourself verbally, emotionally, physically, financially and otherwise makes you feel so confident that no one would dare cross you anyway. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your knack for finding things will come into play. You could save the day by simply remembering what others did and said when they themselves cannot seem to recall it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your work has improved so much that you almost hate to look back at the early, awkward stages. You’ll notice how far you’ve come, and so will others. Soak up the praise that’s coming! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It might be difficult for you and a partner to agree on financial matters, and your preferences may clash in other small ways, as well. But as long as you still agree on the big picture, you can work things out.

Yesterday’s Answer
THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, March 31, 2012— Page 27
Today is Saturday, March 31, the 91st day of 2012. There are 275 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 31, 1932, Ford Motor Co. publicly unveiled its powerful flathead V8 engine; while not the first eight-cylinder engine, it was the first to be affordable to the general public, and proved very popular. On this date: In 1889, French engineer Gustave Eiffel unfurled the French tricolor from atop the Eiffel Tower, officially marking its completion. In 1931, Notre Dame college football coach Knute Rockne, 43, was killed in the crash of a TWA plane in Bazaar, Kan. In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Emergency Conservation Work Act, which created the Civilian Conservation Corps. In 1943, the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “Oklahoma!” opened on Broadway. In 1953, Stanley Kubrick’s first feature film, a war drama titled “Fear and Desire,” premiered in New York. In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson stunned the country by announcing at the conclusion of a broadcast address on Vietnam that he would not seek re-election. In 1976, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that Karen Ann Quinlan, who was in a persistent vegetative state, could be disconnected from her respirator. (Quinlan, who remained unconscious, died in 1985.) In 1986, 167 people died when a Mexicana Airlines Boeing 727 crashed in a remote mountainous region of Mexico. In 1993, actor Brandon Lee, 28, was shot to death during the filming of a movie in Wilmington, N.C., by a bullet fragment lodged inside a prop gun. In 1995, Mexican-American singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez, 23, was shot to death in Corpus Christi, Texas, by the founder of her fan club, Yolanda Saldivar, who was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. In 2005, Terri Schiavo, 41, died at a hospice in Pinellas Park, Fla., 13 days after her feeding tube was removed in a wrenching right-to-die dispute. One year ago: Moammar Gadhafi struck a defiant stance after two high-profile defections from his regime, saying the Western leaders who had decimated his military with airstrikes should resign immediately — not him. (Gadhafi’s message was in the form of a scroll across the bottom of state TV as he remained out of sight.) Today’s Birthdays: Actress Peggy Rea is 91. Actor William Daniels is 85. Hockey Hall-of-Famer Gordie Howe is 84. Actor Richard Chamberlain is 78. Actress Shirley Jones is 78. Country singersongwriter John D. Loudermilk is 78. Musician Herb Alpert is 77. Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., is 72. U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., is 72. Actor Christopher Walken is 69. Comedian Gabe Kaplan is 67. Former Vice President Al Gore is 64. Author David Eisenhower is 64. Actress Rhea Perlman is 64. Actor Ed Marinaro is 62. Rock musician Angus Young (AC/DC) is 57. Actor Marc McClure is 55. Actor William McNamara is 47. Alt-country musician Bob Crawford is 41. Actor Ewan McGregor is 41. Rapper Tony Yayo is 34. Jazz musician Christian Scott is 29. Actress Jessica Szohr (TV: “Gossip Girl”) is 27.

SENIOR IS EAGER TO PREVENT LIFE FROM GOING TO THE DOGS
DEAR ABBY: I’m a 17-year-old senior with a single, very controlling mother. It’s impossible to have a sit-down conversation with her because she’s always working to support us. She works as a dog groomer. She’s always polite to her customers and friends, but she turns into a witch when it’s just her and us kids. I have never had any freedom. I go to school, come home and groom dogs, then it’s the same cycle all over again. She makes me feel useless unless I’m working for her, and the truth is I think she wants me to live with her forever. She won’t let me work, doesn’t want me to go to college and won’t give me my Social Security card or birth certificate, so I cannot get on with my life. Please help. -- TEEN WHO NEEDS ADVICE DEAR TEEN: Where is your father in all of this? If your mother doesn’t want you to see your birth certificate, it may be that there’s something she’s afraid you will see. Her controlling behavior does seem excessive for a girl your age. In a few months you will be an adult. If you wish to continue your education, you should talk to a counselor at school about it and inquire about scholarships, student aid and how to apply. Do not let your mother’s disapproval discourage you from trying. DEAR ABBY: I’m dating a hard-to-find kind of man. He is charming, funny, polite and very sweet. He is my Prince Charming except for one thing. He’s a racist. I have asked him not to say demeaning things about people of other races to me because it upsets me. Most of his friends are like that, too. When he meets someone of a different race he’s polite and friendly, but when he sees someone on TV, or
walking on the street he makes derogatory comments. I’m considering breaking up with him over this. Am I overly sensitive, or is this a legitimate concern? -- TOO SENSITIVE IN TEXAS DEAR TOO SENSITIVE: You’re not overly sensitive. We are living in an increasingly diverse society that in years to come will only become more so. Birds of a feather tend to flock together, and so do racists. Unless you want to become increasingly isolated and surrounded only by people who think like your “Prince” does, find someone who thinks more like you do. You’ll be happier in the long run. DEAR ABBY: My cousin “Carla” just had a baby. She’s in her early 20s, unemployed and living in a condo her parents bought her so she won’t be homeless. Her deadbeat boyfriend lives with her. They smoke pot and love to party, although Carla has abstained since she got pregnant. When I received an invitation to her baby shower, I declined. I don’t think her having a baby is a good thing, and I didn’t feel comfortable celebrating this “good” news. I have not offered my opinion on the subject, but when my sister asked me why and I told her, she called me selfish. Do you think she is right? -- PRINCIPLED COUSIN DEAR PRINCIPLED COUSIN: I don’t think you were selfish for sticking with your principles. Nor do I think your unemployed cousin and her deadbeat boyfriend are heading down the road of parenthood in a responsible way. Because you didn’t feel you would enjoy the event, you were right to decline the invitation.

As for the spiritual perfections they are man’s birthright and belong to him alone of all creation. Man is, in reality, a spiritual being, and only when he lives in the spirit is he truly happy. This spiritual longing and perception belongs to all men alike. -Baha’i Scripture 1-800-22-UNITE • (207)935-1005

Holocaust remembrance service to be held April 1
TAMWORTH — Sunday, April 1 is Holocaust Remembrance Day and the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Eastern Slopes will host a Holocaust Remembrance Service on that day at 3 p.m. at its meetinghouse in Tamworth Village. Entitled “Holocaust and Genocide: From Darkness to Light,” this nondenominational and multigenerational service will include music, readings, dance, and remembrance presented by the Mount Washington Valley Jewish Community (Havurah HeHarim), as compiled and written by Joan Kurtz, Judy Felsen, and Michelle Haber. One of the event’s planners, Michelle Haber, describes her inspiration for taking part in this year’s remembrance service as follows: “This program grew out of two Holocaust Study trips to Europe. The first trip was to the Netherlands and focused on “Post Holocaust Ethics and Theology” and was offered by my alma mater, New Brunswick Seminary. The second trip was with the N. J. State Dept. of Education and was presented for
teachers, as Holocaust and tolerance programs are mandated in all New Jersey Public Schools. I was invited on the trip to serve as a resource person in Jewish/Holocaust music and theology, with the support of a scholarship from Seton Hall University’s Jewish-Christian Studies Graduate Program. These trips took me to concentration camps, ghettos, cemeteries, museums and memorial sites in the Netherlands, Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic.” “Although it is not easy to sing or perform pieces from the Holocaust — poetry, music, theater and art do provide a window to the soul, allowing the voices of victims of holocaust and genocide to come alive, so as to remind the listener “Never again!” The service will be followed by an opportunity to socialize with snacks and beverages. For more information, call the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at 323-8585. The Fellowship’s Meetinghouse is located at 30 Tamworth Road, at the junction of Route 113 and Main Street, in Tamworth Village. For directions, visit www.uufes.org.

Mount Washington Valley Habitat for Humanity announce spring activities
CONWAY — The 2012 MWV Habitat for Humanity building project will focus on building a single family home about 2.3 miles north of Route 302 at 483 Menotomy Road in Fryeburg. The foundation is in place and the concrete slab floor will be installed as soon as the truck load ban is lifted. The Habitat family selection committee is reviewing applicant credentials for this home. The family nominated will be approved by the Habitat Board of Directors at the April meeting. A public announcement will be made soon thereafter. Throughout construction, the family will work with other volunteer builders by devoting at least 300 hours of “sweat equity.” When finished, the home will be sold to the family, at cost, with a no interest mortgage from Habitat. Habitat has scheduled Saturday, May 12, as Women Build. This event, conducted during Mother’s Day week across the USA is co-sponsored by Habitat International and Lowe’s Home Improvement. This is the fifth consecutive year that the Mount Washington Valley Habitat affiliate has been awarded the opportunity to hold an official Women Build. On this day (8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Fryeburg worksite) approximately 30 local women will be guided by about 10 regular Habitat volunteer builders to begin constructing exterior walls. This event will mark the first official 2012 building day. A couple of Fryeburg women have already signed up to participate. At last year’s Women Build, several mother-daughter teams participated. If you are interested in learning more about the event (no previous building experience is necessary), contact Jill Reynolds, the Habitat
Women Build coordinator, at (603) 447-8823 or on the web at mwvwomenbuild@yahoo.com. In subsequent weeks, Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. will be the regular Habitat work day. Volunteer builders are invited. No previous construction experience is required. By helping a family build a home, you are likely to find your life enriched. April 1, the North Conway Masons will hold a benefit breakfast for Habitat for Humanity from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at their lodge above the movie theater on Main Street in North Conway. The menu will include a complete breakfast buffet including made-to-order omelets. A donation is requested. Please also bring a non-perishable food item to support the Mason’s food drive. On Saturday, April 21, Habitat will hold a giant yard sale at the former Lenox Store on Route 16 (between the Green Granite Inn and Dairy Queen) in North Conway. The store is loaded with furniture, appliances, lamps and lighting fixtures, and various building materials including sinks, toilets, doors, windows, power tools and other miscellaneous items. The sale will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. This is a cash and carry event and all proceeds will support the 2012 home construction project. For more information about MWV Habitat for Humanity (including becoming a volunteer builder, applying for a future home, making a monetary donation or arranging for a furniture/appliance/building material donation to support a Habitat yard sale) call (603) 356-3832 or go on-line at www.office@mwvhabitat.org.

Gibson Center Easter luncheons are Tuesday through Thursday Easter was a pretty big deal when I was growing up. It involved a lot of time in church, some really great food, a new hat or dress and in my case – washing windows. I’ve often heard people speak of spring cleaning but in my mother’s case, it was more appropriate to call it “Easter cleaning” and the number one item on her list was clean windows. I spent a lot of time hanging out of second story windows with a rag in one hand and a pot of hot water and ammonia on the sill while my mom stood on the other side pointing to any spots I might have missed. Today I can’t pass a clean window without thinking of my mother. The week before Easter was a hectic time at my house but in the end, our house was spotless, the food was delicious and the church services simply inspiring. Speaking of delicious food, we have our Easter luncheons coming up next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The kitchen staff will be preparing a wonderful black oak ham dinner and I hear there will be strawberry shortcake for dessert. We also want to invite the ladies to check their closets for any special “Easter bonnets” they might have tucked away and wear them at the luncheon. You can bring an extra one in for me, just remember, I have a big head — literally. Reservations are requested. Call 356-3231 or stop at the front desk to sign up. Remember to check below for upcoming programs and trips taking place at Gibson or go to our website at www.gibsoncenter.org. Have a wonderful week and God bless! Monday, April 2: Chair exercise begins at 10:30 a.m. The Met video tours begin at 12:30 p.m. in the activity room.

HOME OF THE WEEK
REAL ESTATE CORNER
Home is where your stuff is BY JASON ROBIE If you’ve been following along my journey these past few months, you know I have sold my house and am currently waiting for my new apartment to be finished. Last word I received is that I’ll be moving in on Wednesday. All things considered, I could not be happier. I was fortunate enough to spend a couple lovely weeks in Florida as the 41-year-old living with his parents. I love my mom and dad and we are fortunate to enjoy each other’s company. While this was a welcome taste of home, it still did not satiate my need to feel “home.” But what exactly does that mean? We have all heard or read the benefits of home ownership. We have explored both sides of the table in this column and there are countless articles written on the subject. There are finanJason Robie cial, emotional, social and even physiological benefits to owning your own home. While these are all directly tied to the actual ownership of a structure you call home, there are benefits outside that entity that impact your life in a myriad of ways. Simply having a place to lay your head is not enough. When I returned to New Hampshire I had the option of crashing on a number of couches with friends and family. This is certainly more cost-effective than a motel, but doesn’t really satisfy the need to feel grounded or home. I also tend to feel a bit obtrusive when I’m staying with friends and never really get the sense of being relaxed. My decision to rent a room for the week was based on just that. When I get home from a day out in the woods or in the office I can come back to a place I can call my own, if only for a few days. All of my belongings are in a storage unit. When I first got home from Florida, I went to the unit and just spent some time sifting through a few boxes and reacquainting myself with my stuff. It was incredibly pacifying to be surrounded by my “home” after living out of a suitcase for the better part of a month. I’m confident the sense of familiarity we get when we walk into our front door lies right there in those boxes. The reason we tell sellers to remove pictures and personal items during showings, is the same reason these items are so important to our sense of home. Being surrounded by familiar faces, if only in picture form, provides a sense of warmth and belonging that only the individual can know and appreciate. Outside of the material benefits of being home, there are physiological benefits as well. I have found, even with my kitchenette, that I tend to eat dinner out most every night. Breakfast and lunch are easily enough taken care of, but the thought of creating (and cleaning) a meal on a single-burner stove and a microwave just doesn’t work for me. I enjoy cooking and appreciate the value of a good kitchen. Knowing where everything is and being able to pull together a healthy meal are two of the things I’m most looking forward to when I finally land in that apartment. The variety and quality of the meals I can create will surpass anything I’m getting eating. That’s see ROBIE page 43
This week’s Home of the Week is a 14-room Victorian situated on 1.4 acres in Madison.
Dynamic Victorian has B&B potential MADISON — “Dynamic” is how listing agent Nicole Martinez, of Exit Realty Leaders in Ossipee, describes this home at 1527 Village Road in Madison. This quintessential Victorian, built in 1904, has gleaming hardwood floors, crown molding and is completely upgraded with all the comforts and modern amenities you would want. The five-bedroom, sevenbath home has an office suite and comfortable dining room and family room and is “perfect for a personal residence or a B&B,” Martinez says. An attached barn has been restored for entertaining and has a bar, or it could be used as a billiard room, garage or workshop. An expansive master bedroom offers a master bath, sitting area and a private porch overlooking Forest Brook. An additional sitting area on the first floor leads out to a deck that overlooks the back yard and a boat dock with direct access to Silver Lake. “The front porch offers the opportunity to enjoy mountain views or bask in the beauty of Silver Lake, affording you an abundance of memories that will be enjoyed for years to come,” Martinez says. Price is $599,000. Martinez can be reached at (603) 539-9595, (603) 9861567 or nmarti1164@aol. com.
Enjoy views of the mountains or Silver Lake from the front porch.

not to take away from some of the yummy restaurants we enjoy around the valley, but I’m sure my health and diet will immediately benefit, as will my wallet. I make an effort to reduce stress where possible and minimize the drama that surrounds me. That is one of the many reasons I don’t watch the news. The benefits of homeownership reach beyond the walls of your house and offer the comfort and security of a stable place to return. When I’m out hiking in the White Mountains or even traveling for business, the knowledge that I have a comfortable place to come home to, as well as the companionship of my cat, eases the stress of being away. I know when I return, all of my belongings and all those things that make this house my home will be right there waiting for me, even if that means the dirty dishes in the sink! We have a large percentage of second homeowners here in the valley and all across the White Mountains. Every one of these homes and condos I have shown over the years has one thing in common. They all contain pieces of the owners’ life. There are family portraits, seasons passes and a myriad of other items that remind the owner of their friends and family as well as celebrate the fun they have while on vacation. There is no better way to make your vacation home feel like “home” than by duplicating those techniques that work at your primary house. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to have a “home”. I have an apartment waiting for me to make it my own and have had a nice time visiting with family and even living in the motel. It doesn’t matter if you rent or own, having a place to hang your hat and store your stuff has immeasurable value. The next time you walk through your front door, I encourage you to take a moment to look around and appreciate the comfort and stability your home provides.

Investment and vacation home sales surge in 2011 WASHINGTON – Sales of investment and vacation homes* jumped in 2011, with the combined market share rising to the highest level since 2005, according to the National Association of Realtors. The association’s 2012 Investment and Vacation Home Buyers Survey, covering existing- and newhome transactions in 2011, shows investment-home sales surged an extraordinary 64.5 percent to 1.23 million last year from 749,000 in 2010. Vacation-home sales rose 7.0 percent to 502,000 in 2011 from 469,000 in 2010. Owner-occupied purchases fell 15.5 percent to 2.78 million. Vacation-home sales accounted for 11 percent of all transactions last year, up from 10 percent in 2010, while the portion of investment sales jumped to 27 percent in 2011 from 17 percent in 2010. Lawrence Yun, chief economic for National Association of Realtors, said investors with cash took advantage of market conditions in 2011. “During the past year investors have been swooping into the market to take advantage of bargain home prices,” he said. “Rising rental income easily beat cash sitting in banks as an added inducement. In addition, 41 percent of investment buyers purchased more than one property.” Yun said the shift in investment buyer patterns in 2011 shows the market, for the large part, is able to absorb foreclosures hitting the market. “Small-time investors are helping the market heal since REO (bank real estate owned) inventory is not lingering for an extended period. Any government program to sell REO inventory in bulk to large institutional companies should be limited to small geographic areas. Even where alternatives are needed, it’s best to rely on the expertise of local businesses, nonprofit organizations and government,” he said. All-cash purchases have become fairly common in the investment- and vacation-home market during recent years: 49 percent of investment buyers paid cash in 2011, as did 42 percent of vacation-home buyers. Half of all investment home purchases in 2011 were distressed homes, as were 39 percent of vacation homes. “Clearly we’re looking at investors with financial resources who see real estate as a good investment and

who aren’t hesitant to use cash,” Yun said. Of buyers who financed their purchase with a mortgage, large downpayments were typical. The median downpayment for both investment- and vacation-home buyers in 2011 was 27 percent. “Given the tight credit in recent years, many wouldbe normal home buyers for owner occupancy declined,” Yun said. The median investment-home price was $100,000 in 2011, up 6.4 percent from $94,000 in 2010, while the median vacation-home price was $121,300, down 19.1 percent from $150,000 in 2010. Investment-home buyers in 2011 had a median age of 50, earned $86,100 and bought a home that was relatively close to their primary residence — a median see SALES page 44

distance of 25 miles, although 30 percent were more than 100 miles away. “The share of investment buyers who flipped property remained low in 2011, and many of those homes likely were renovated before reselling,” Yun said. Five percent of homes purchased by investment buyers last year have already been resold, up from 2 percent in 2010. The typical investment buyer plans to hold the property for a median of five years, down from 10 years for buyers in 2010. The typical vacation-home buyer was 50 years old, had a median household income of $88,600 and purchased a property that was a median distance of 305 miles from the primary residence; 35 percent of vacation homes were within 100 miles and 37 percent were more than 500 miles. Buyers plan to own their recreational property for a median of 10 years. Lifestyle factors have consistently been the primary motivation for vacation-home buyers, while the desire for rental income drives investment purchases. Vacation homes purchased last year were more likely to be in suburban or rural areas; investment homes were concentrated in suburban locations. Eighty-two percent of vacation-home buyers said the primary reason for buying was to use the property themselves for vacations, or as a family retreat. Thirty percent plan to use the property as a primary residence in the future, and only 22 percent plan to rent to others. Half of investment buyers said they purchased primarily to generate rental income, and 34 percent wanted to diversify their investments or saw a good investment opportunity. Sixteen percent of vacation buyers and 14 percent of investment buyers purchased the property for a family member, friend or relative to use. In many cases the

home is intended for a son or daughter to use while attending school. Forty-two percent of vacation homes purchased last year were in the South, 30 percent in the West, 15 percent in the Northeast and 12 percent in the Midwest; 1 percent were located outside of the U.S. Forty-four percent of investment properties were in the South, 23 percent in the West, 17 percent in the Midwest and 15 percent in the Northeast. Eight out of 10 second-home buyers said it was a good time to buy. Nearly half of investment buyers said they were likely to purchase another property within two years, as did one-third of vacation-home buyers. Currently, 42.1 million people in the U.S. are ages 50-59 — a group that has dominated second-home sales since the middle part of the past decade and established records. An additional 43.5 million people are 40-49 years old, while another 40.2 million are 30-39. “Given that the number of people who are in their 40s is somewhat larger than the 50-somethings, the long-term demographic demand for purchasing vacation homes is favorable because these younger households are likely to enter the market as their desire for these kinds of properties grows, and individual circumstances allow,” Yun said. National Association of Realtors’ analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data shows there are 8.0 million vacation homes and 42.8 million investment units in the U.S., compared with 75.3 million owner-occupied homes. The association’s 2012 Investment and Vacation Home Buyers Survey, conducted in March 2012, includes answers from 2,241 usable responses about home purchases during 2011. The survey controlled for age and income, based on information from the larger 2011 NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, to limit any biases in the characteristics of respondents.

FEBRUARY from page 45
million-unit level in February 2011. Lawrence Yun, National Association of Realtors’ chief economist, said underlying factors are much better compared to one year ago. “The market is trending up unevenly, with record high consumer buying power and sustained job gains giving buyers the confidence they need to get into the market,” he said. “Although relatively unusual, there will be rising demand for both rental space and homeownership this year. The great suppression in household formation during the past four years was unsustainable, and a pent-up demand could burst forth from the improving economy.”
According to Freddie Mac, the national average commitment rate for a 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage was a record low 3.89 percent in February, down from 3.92 percent in January; the rate was 4.95 percent in February 2011; recordkeeping began in 1971. National Association of Realtors’ president Moe Veissi, broker-owner of Veissi & Associates Inc., in Miami, said market conditions are improving. “Supply and demand have become more balanced in more markets, but with tight supply in the lower price ranges – particularly in the West,” he said. “When markets are balanced, we normally see prices rise one to two percentage points above the rate of inflation, but foreclosures and short
sales are holding back median prices.” The national median existing-home price for all housing types was $156,600 in February, up 0.3 percent from February 2011. Distressed homes — foreclosures and short sales sold at deep discounts — accounted for 34 percent of February sales (20 percent were foreclosures and 14 percent were short sales), down from 35 percent in January and 39 percent in February 2011. “The bottom line is investors and first-time buyers are competing for bargain-priced properties in much of the country, with home prices showing signs of stabilizing in many areas,” Veissi said. see next page

“People realize that homeownership is an investment in their future. Given an apparent over-correction in most areas, over the long term home prices have nowhere to go but up.” Total housing inventory at the end of February rose 4.3 percent to 2.43 million existing homes available for sale, which represents a 6.4-month supply at the current sales pace, up from a 6.0-month supply in January. Even so, unsold listed inventory has trended down from a record 4.04 million in July 2007, and is 19.3 percent below a year ago. “Falling visible and shadow inventory, combined with a dearth of newhome and apartment construction during the past three years, assure that rents will continue to rise, with likely home price increases in 2012,” Yun said. Fifty-one percent of National Association of Realtors’ members report that contracts settled on time in February, 18 percent had delays and 31 percent experienced contract failures; the cancellation rate was 33 percent in January and 9 percent in February 2011. Contract failures are commonly caused by declined mortgage applications and failures
in loan underwriting from appraisals coming in below the negotiated price. “Many buyers are staying in the market after experiencing a contract failure and making an offer on another property, showing their determination to take advantage of the favorable conditions, but the cancellations are contributing to an uneven sales pattern,” Yun said. All-cash sales rose to 33 percent of transactions in February from 31 percent in January; they were 33 percent in February 2011. Investors account for the bulk of cash transactions. Investors purchased 23 percent of homes in February, unchanged from January; they were 20 percent in February 2011. First-time buyers accounted for 32 percent of transactions in February, down from 33 percent in January and 34 percent in February 2011. Single-family home sales declined 1.0 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.06 million in February from 4.10 million in January, but are 9.4 percent higher than the 3.71 million-unit level a year ago. The median existing single-family home price was $157,100 in February, which is 0.1 percent above February 2011.
