Budget committee sticks to 11 percent school cut

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — The budget committee is sticking to its decision to bring forward an 11 percent cut to the school budget at the annual deliberative meeting on Wednesday

evening despite school offi cials and their attorney questioning the legality of the action.

About 30 citizens turned out to a special meeting of the school board and budget committee Sunday evening at Conway Town Hall. School offi cials believed the

budgeteers, who in another Sunday meeting, Feb. 13, voted to cut the 2011-12 school budget by 11 percent, may have acted illegally. Town attorney Peter Malia, however, sided with the budget committee. see CUT page 10

Teachers wonder, why the scorn?

3DAYFORECASTLOTTERY

Today High: 28 Record: 49 (1990) Sunrise: 6:17 a.m.

(NY Times) — The jabs Erin Parker has heard about her job have stunned her.

“Oh you pathetic teachers,” read the online comments and placards of counterdemonstrators. “You are glorified baby sitters who leave work at 3 p.m. You deserve minimum wage.”

“You feel punched in the stomach,” said Ms. Parker, a high school science teacher in Madison, Wis. Ms. Parker, a secondyear teacher making $36,000, fears that under the proposed legislation class sizes would rise and higher contributions to her benefits would knock her out of the middle class.

“I love teaching, but I have $26,000 of student debt,” she said. “I’m 30 years old, and I can’t save up enough for a down payment” for a house.

Around the country, many teachers see demands to cut their income, benefi ts and say in how schools are run through collective bargaining as attacks not just on their livelihoods, but on their value to society.

Even in a country that is of two minds about teachers — Americans glowingly recall the ones who changed their lives, but think the job with its summers off is cushy — education experts say teachers have rarely been the targets of such scorn from politicians and voters.

Terror quiets Libyan capital TRIPOLI (NY Times) — A state of terror has seized two working class neighborhoods here that just a week ago exploded in revolt, with residents reporting constant surveillance, heavily armed checkpoints and disappearances of those involved in last week’s protest.

While rebel fi ghters in the country’s east celebrated their defeat of an incursion on Wednesday by hundreds of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s loyalists in the strategic oil

town of Brega — and fended off a number of airstrikes on Thursday in industrial areas and around the airport, one resident said — many people here in Tripoli were lying low in an effort to elude the secret police.

Several people in the neighborhoods, Feshloom and Tajura, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of the secret police, said militias loyal to Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi are using photographs taken at last

PENSACOLA, Fla. (NY Times) — A federal judge in Florida on Thursday issued a stay of his own ruling against the Obama health care act, allowing the law to remain fully in effect while being appealed, eventually to the Supreme Court.

The Florida case is one of two in which judges have found a central provision of the law unconstitutional. But it is the only case in which a judge struck down the entire law, and suggested that implementation should halt

during an appellate process that could stretch for two years.

Judge Roger Vinson of Federal District Court in Pensacola, who ruled on Jan. 31 that the entire law was invalid, issued the stay without a specifi c request from the Obama administration. The Justice Department, which represents the administration, had asked Judge Vinson to clarify his January ruling, which the judge had characterized as the “functional equivalent” of an injunction to suspend the law.

(NY Times) — When Congress considered whether to regulate more closely the handling of wastes from oil and gas drilling in the 1980s, it turned to the Environmental Protection Agency to research the matter. EPA researchers concluded that some of the drillers’ waste was hazardous and should be tightly controlled. But that is not what Congress heard. Some of the recommendations concerning oil and gas waste were eliminated in the final report handed to lawmakers in 1987.

“It was like the science didn’t matter,” Carla Greathouse, the author of the study. “The industry was going to get what it wanted, and we were not supposed to stand in the way.”

EPA officials told her, she said, that her fi ndings were altered because of pressure from the Offi ce of Legal Counsel of the White House under Ronald Reagan. A spokesman for the EPA declined to comment.

Several people said at least four people in the neighborhood had been killed that day, including Hisham el-Trabelsi, 19, who they said was shot in the head, and Abdel Basit Ismail, 25, hit by random gunfi re while she was calling to a family member in the protest.

Officer-involved shooting MARCH MADNESS leaves Concord man dead Savings throughout the store!

BY PAT GROSSMITH THE UNION LEADER

CONCORD — A man was shot dead last night inside a Garvin Falls Road apartment building and authorities say the incident is being investigated as an officer-involved shooting.

Barbara McNair, who lives in the building located off Manchester Street, said Wednesday night she heard a noise that sounded like someone hitting her apartment door.

She opened the door to see her neighbor shot in the fi rst fl oor hallway and police yelling at her to get back inside. She said she heard three or four gunshots.

The man who was shot was her neighbor, she said. Police told her not

to give his name to the media.

She said her neighbor was in his 30s and schizophrenic. “I think he was off his meds,” she said. “Someone should have been taking better care of him.”

According to a press release issued by the Attorney General’s Offi ce, the state police Major Crime Unit is investigating the 8:15 p.m. shooting. Investigators are withholding the victim’s name pending notification of family.

The names of the offi cers involved in the shooting also are being withheld pending further investigation.

An autopsy will be conducted within the next 24 to 48 hours.

No further information will be released until the autopsy is complete, authorities said.

Manchester teachers say health care concessions off the table in budget fight

BY MARK HAYWARD THE UNION LEADER

MANCHESTER — Junking the plan of Mayor Ted Gatsas, the Manchester school board is backing a proposed budget that spends more than the mayor wants to, limits layoffs of paraprofessionals but ends with a $2.5 million question mark.

Meanwhile, a teachers’ union offi cial said concessions on health care are off the table, and teachers are ready for layoffs if that turns out to be the case.

Scott McGilvray, president of the Manchester Education Association, said teachers already agreed to four years of health-care concessions in 2009.

“We’re already ahead of everyone else (in givebacks), yet they come after teachers time and time again,” said McGilvray, whose union represents 1,200 teachers.

Early Tuesday morning, the school board voted on a budget proposal that eliminates the positions of 12 retiring teachers, shifts some school bureaucracies to City Hall, spends some $3 million in reserves and necessitates a 1 1/2 percent increase in property taxes.

But the board couldn’t agree on layoffs, leaving a $2.5 million gap in the budget. “It will be interesting to watch them do a presentation to the aldermen,” said Gatsas, who voted against the proposal.

Let’s all save our trees and our town To the editor: The past four months have seen a torrent of comments about the school budget.

Whether from the budget committee, school board, school administration, or the general public, the comments have at times been enlightening, maddening or disheartening.

As the budget committee chairman, it has been frustrating trying to do what the budget committee is tasked with doing, while being deluged with misinformation, innuendo, and, at times, insults. I know it has been the same for the school board, and the people in the community who have tried to take a leadership role on this topic.

Rather than rehashing all the various positions of the committees, boards, and public, and my agreement or disagreement with them, I wanted to make a suggestion. Earlier this week I read an article in the paper about Harvey Updyke. Mr. Updyke lives in Dadeville, Alabama and is a fervent University of Alabama supporter. Allegedly, he felt in order to show his support for Alabama, he needed to spread a strong herbicide around several large oak trees on the Auburn campus, Alabama’s rival, where Auburn fans traditionally celebrate important football victories. He then had the audacity to call into a radio station and brag about it.

Needless to say, Mr. Updyke has been arrested. But the

damage has been done, and local experts believe that the herbicide will kill the trees.

I tell this story because I think it’s analogous to the school debate in our town.

Whether you agree with a certain side, or are just sick of the whole discussion, I believe if we continue to “spread” the vitriolic rhetoric that has been common of late, we risk killing the spirit of our community. Further, I don’t think the rhetoric is unique to this year, and will continue in future years as we try to hash out how our town and schools needs to grow.

Therefore, I would like to start a tradition, to show that even though we may disagree, sometimes heatedly, we still are a single community. What I propose is, at the deliberative meeting for the school, I will bring a bucket. And into that bucket I ask people to donate whatever they want, and whatever is collected will be given to the student body president to be used to plant the biggest tree the donated money will buy, and plant it at one of the schools in town.

That tree will represent the idea that while we may all disagree, we all want the town to be a better place to live and for our children to grow up in.

That tradition will continue each year, so that over the years, these trees will represent our community.

I hope you will all join with me starting this new tradition. See you in March.

Dave Sordi, chairman Budget Committee Conway

County’s budget shows improvements made in 2010

$FWXDO &RQZD\ 7D[ %LOO *URZWK 6DPSOH N 1RQ 3UHFHLQFW +RPH

7D[ %LOO

Keep the focus on the children and accurate facts To the editor: Sunday’s Special Budget Committee meeting was a chance for the budget committee to reconsider the $4 million dollar cut to the school budget in light of a possible law suit by the town on behalf of the valley’s taxpayers.

Sadly, the budget committee clariďŹ ed that they did support the 11 percent cut in the school budget and took no action to adjust the number, nor offer researched cost savings to accomplish it. The resulting impact will be great and far reaching. At a time when the communities, including members of the budget committee, are asking for improved academic outcomes and improvements in SAT scores, this budget makes those goals impossible to obtain. Instead we will see classes cut, teaching teams eliminated, and possibly a school forced to closed, all without adequate time for planning or public comment.

The Coalition for Educational Excellence supports ďŹ nding ways to offer a better academic outcome and economic growth, without raising tax burdens. We have been analyzing data and programs to see where we can ďŹ nd saving for the taxpayer and better educational outcomes for our valley’s youth. This action therefore puts us in a difďŹ cult position. We had supported funding the school board’s budget because it was one of the town’s budgets presented this year that showed restraint and an actual reduction in spending, while looking for ways to improve outcomes for students at all levels. We felt this was a ďŹ nancially responsible ďŹ rst step in a process of holding the school system accountable for a balance between spending and academic outcomes.

Now the only way to fully fund the school board’s budget would be to vote for the default budget, which is higher than the amount asked for. It seems a shame that when a school board pro-

poses a budget that cuts spending and has the support of the community, that a budget committee would present a “poison pillâ€? amendment and force the community to vote for a tax increase verses closing schools. I believe that both sides have good intentions but that the budget committee lack good data and ďŹ nancial insight, to make the difďŹ cult decision that they are being asked to make. For example we heard that taxes in Conway have doubled in 10 years and will double again in the next 10 years if we don’t make major cuts to the school budget.

The coalition wants both sides to have accurate objective data to work with. I brought these numbers up at the meeting to the disbelief of some on the committee.

We studied a real home in Conway currently assessed at $200,000 and asked what did that real tax payer see happen to their tax bill in the last ten years. The home owner paid $2,660.50 in 2000, which increased to $3,744.00 in 2010, a 40 percent increase. We then indexed the $2,660.50 for increases and drops in the CPI (Consumer Price Index). This resulted in a ten year ination adjusted tax of $3,478.31, so the real increase in municipal, county and state/local education was just $265.68 over 10 years. It should also be noted that the largest part of the increase was due to increases in the municipal and county tax portion of the bill not the school budget. These numbers in the chart were reviewed and approved by the Conway Assessor’s OfďŹ ce for accuracy.

We as a community in the Mount Washington Valley need to keep the focus on what is best for our students and take the time to research the hard questions and not let emotions get in the way of good policy.

Paul Mayer, co-chair Coalition for Educational Excellence

To the editor: The County Commissioners are pleased to present the report for 2010.

In general, Carroll County had a good year. The county’s budget shows improvements made in 2010 due to good management, good investments to reduce expenses and increased revenues across county government, reduced energy usage, farm productivity and IT efďŹ ciencies, all done due to the diligent efforts of all county employees. Thus the 2010 budget was under expended by $704,797. There was additional income of $1,678,242.

The major project, the county’s new nursing home, is progressing well.

It is on time and under budget. It is expected to open this summer. When the commissioners brought the proposed project out to the various towns, it was anticipated that the bond would come in at 5 percent. As it turned out, we received a bond at 3.38 percent, the lowest rate in the industry’s 25 year history. And to sweeten the deal, we also received an interest premium of $559,617 (something akin to a rebate). We hope to put this “rebate� together with additional monies from other funds to make a total return for this year of 2.4 million dollars to the taxpayers of the county. Timing is everything.

Several sub-committees have been organized to work on projects for the new nursing home. A building subcommittee meets every other Tuesday morning to discuss details of the new building. There is a sub-committee that has met and chosen the furnishings and colors for the new home. The 501c3 sub-committee will be working to solicit funds for items not budgeted in the building project.

A committee worked on renaming the new Mountain View Nursing Home to re ect its new design and use. The name chosen is Mountain View Community with a sub-heading of Center for Rehabilitation and Transitional Living. Mountain View Community will be the name on the building. The other portion will appear on stationary and marketing materials. Through the help of Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s ofďŹ ce the county was able to purchase a new pellet heating system for Mountain View Community as well as the old building. This will reduce the county’s reliance on expensive oil heat.

Kronos, a new system for management of personnel scheduling, checkin time through a time clock, and payroll management was purchased and is being phased into use. The Commissioners expect that the new Kronos system will alleviate scheduling and payroll problems.

Recognizing that we are in the 21st century, the commissioners have established an IT division for each of

the departments. Cybertron Corp. has been hired to oversee the IT programs for the complex, with the exception of the Sheriff’s OfďŹ ce and Registrar of Deeds, and has been working to update the computers in each department. With new computers, more memory, and increased data storage, we will be in better position to deal with the business of county government.

The farm has initiated some new business. CampďŹ re wood is being sold to the State Parks and has brought in good revenue. An inmate mechanic has proven helpful in saving the county thousands of dollars repairing farm tractors and equipment. Due to the location of the new nursing home, 250 blueberry bushes had to be moved to their new homes on the county complex and they are doing ďŹ ne.

On the less positive side, one exterior wall of the jail (where the administration ofďŹ ces and locker rooms for personnel are located) has become an issue. According to the engineers that have looked at the problem, the wall has moved about a quarter of an inch due to heat from the sun. At this point, the commissioners expect that the cost of the â€œďŹ xâ€? will be covered by SMRT, one of the companies involved in the original building project.

Commissioner David Sorensen was elected Vice-President of the New Hampshire Association of Counties in 2010. In September the New Hampshire Association of Counties held their annual conference at the Mount Washington Hotel. Several employees from Carroll County were honored at the annual dinner: Keith Brown from the Dispatch OfďŹ ce, Captain Michael Fowler from the House of Corrections, Mary Thurston from the Mountain View Nursing Home and Commissioner Chip Albee who was named Commissioner of the Year. In 2011 the annual conference will be hosted by Carroll County and held at the North Conway Grand Hotel.

The November elections brought a change in the Commissioners’OfďŹ ce.

Asha Kenney was elected to ďŹ ll the seat formerly held by Commissioner Chip Albee, and Commissioner David Sorensen was reelected for a two year term.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our county employees who continue to perform their duties in an exemplary manner.

A special thanks to all department heads and elected ofďŹ cials for their continued service to the residents of Carroll County.

Please take the time to look at the complete County Report that is in your public library and/or your town hall.

David Sorensen, chair William “Chip� Albee, vice chair Dorothy Solomon, clerk

Please vote no on Tamworth Warrant Articles 4 and 5 to abolish planning board, conservation commission To the editor: I plan to vote no March 8 on Tamworth Warrant Article 4, which aims to abolish the town’s planning board, and no March 9 on Article 5, which eliminates the conservation commission. Both boards serve an important function in town and should keep doing so.

The planning board, with the support of the conservation commission, administers regulations that have been individually approved by a majority of Tamworth voters. Those regulations aim to keep Tamworth’s water clear and its air clean, and keep Tamworth the kind of town that Eric Dube, whose letter was published in

The Conway Daily Sun on President’s Day weekend, wants to come back to.

With no planning board or conservation commission, Tamworth residents who want to support those goals will have to rely on state regulations written in Concord that don’t meet Tamworth’s local needs, or go directly to the courts. With no planning board or

conservation commission, there will be more confusion and con ict about land use in Tamworth, not less. That might be good for lawyers, but it would be very bad for the citizens of Tamworth.

Please vote no on Articles 4 and 5 on the Tamworth Warrant.

Flanagan is the most qualified to run for selectman

Committed to efficient, competent town government

To the voters of Tamworth: I am encouraging you to vote for Sandra Flanagan. Sandra is the most qualifi ed person to run for selectman in a long time.

She worked 30 years in fi nancial planning, and has served on the planning board and the conservation board in Hampton, where she lived previously.

Sandra was born and raised In Chocorua and her parents were well known and respected. As she has

To the editor: I offer this message to the voters of Effi ngham. I am a candidate for selectman and would be honored to have your vote on Tuesday, March 8.

In October, I was appointed by the other selectmen to fi ll the vacancy due to Bill Piekut’s resignation. In the past five months, I have learned a lot as the board of selectmen has worked to prepare warrant articles and the budget for town meeting.

I am committed to working hard to make sure we keep the town portion of the property tax rate under control and that we get the most out of our tax dollars as we provide an effi cient and competent town government.

I am also committed to listening to voters’ concerns and opinions and to communicating openly and frequently with the town’s other boards, committees and offi cials. We may not always share the same opinions about things, but we’re too small a town to not listen to each other.

I have lived in Effi ngham for 25 years. For the past fi ve years, I have

said, “It is Time For a Change.”

She will bring fairness and openness to town government. She will work to lower taxes. She is aware of the devisiveness in Tamworth and hopes to bring an even handedness to the selectmen’s office.

She wants to represent all of the voters. Give her a chance to make Tamworth a better place and vote for her!

Alexandra Cook South Tamworth

I would bring energy and new ideas to the table To the editor: One Effi ngham voter said to me, “Wanted: intelligent, frugal, openminded, organized, cooperative selectman candidate with strong management skills ... New blood and new ideas welcome! Must be willing to endure sharp barbs from all sides without taking it personally and work several hours per week on the cheap.

You fit the bill!”

Another said I haven’t “done my time” in town. I’m from here: born at Huggins and raised two towns over.

After my parents passed, I settled in Effingham. It only took me three years to try to do something to improve town management.

I have skills to offer from actual management experience: responsibility for a $1 million budget, contracts, negotiations and grant writing, and direct supervision of several employees.

I highly respect anyone who volunteers to sit on numerous committees and boards and attend years of commission meetings in their spare time. I’ve volunteered in similar

capacities in addition to a management career honing the particular skills critical to serving as selectman on our team of town managers.

Mr. Spencer told The Carroll County Independent that the job is “80 percent mundane” and “currently Effi ngham is an effi ciently run town.” I disagree.

I would bring energy and new ideas to the table, roll up my sleeves and reexamine the budget and contracts top to bottom to help put our ship into better fiscal shape.

My background in law and land transactions for agriculture and forestry, my degree in social work and my years of management equip me to not just handle the job but excel in ways that will improve our town management. I ask for your vote, but don’t vote for me for sentimental reasons. Vote for a higher degree of skill for the buck, and the right skills for this job.

Leave Freedom’s recreational camping ordinance alone To the editor: This letter is about recreational camping on one’s land in the town of Freedom. In March of 2010, the town of Freedom added section 801 to its zoning ordinance. What this does is it allows people to camp on their own property for up to 10 weeks with a town approved permit. This also allows people to camp within the side and rear setbacks of their land. In order to be issued a permit one must fill out an application showing the owner’s information along with a diagram of your campsite showing where trailers, tents, fi re pits, and a state approved septic device will be placed.

An inspection from the zoning offi cer, a board of health agent, and the fi re chief are also required to be granted a permit. Once the permit has been issued, the zoning offi cer will ask you to keep a record of the number of days you camp on your property.

I feel that the town did a great thing by adding section 801 to their zoning ordinance. This helps bring more money into the local economy and with all the inspections it makes the camping area safer. During the summer season of 2010, I camped on my property at 1018 Ossipee Lake Road for a total of 36 days.

With this new ordinance I was able to enjoy my property and also save money by not having to camp in a campground down the street. In this down economy people have to save where they can. Due to the down turn in the economy I also rent out my house on this property.

Now the town of Freedom wants to change the new camping ordinance

because of the complaints of one of my seasonal neighbors that lives behind my property. I went to the planning board meeting when they proposed to change this ordinance and spoke against the change. I also asked how many complaints the town had received about people camping on their property and one of the members told me many.

I asked again how many people and he just said “many.” The chairwomen told me, “It is because of what you did on your property that we are rewriting the ordinance.” However, I followed all requirements issued by the town of Freedom and did receive the permit for camping on my land.

A few days after the meeting I contacted the zoning offi cer, Mr. Hatfi eld, and asked him how many complaints there were throughout the town about camping. He sent me in writing that there were no other complaints during the 2010 summer season except the one filed by my neighbor. The planning board is also now saying because I rent out my house that this is a commercial use and commercial camping is not allowed. I feel if renting out one’s house is considered a commercial use, and it’s not in a commercial zone, then no one should be allowed to rent out their homes. In closing, I am asking the voters of Freedom to vote no on Article 5 and leave the recreational camping ordinance the way it is now. If the planning board is willing to change this after one season and with the complaints of only one person they are wrong!

Robert P Rafferty Woburn, Mass. and Freedom

served as moderator, a position I have greatly enjoyed. I tried hard to conduct a fair town meeting, to keep our work moving along efficiently, but also to make sure each voter had an opportunity to express his or her opinions.

I tried to ensure that our debate was vigorous but respectful of each other.

I resigned as moderator when I was appointed selectman, but I will continue to work for the best interests of the town of Effi ngham by offering my municipal government experience and problem solving skills as my qualifications for serving as a selectman.

As moderator, at every town meeting I urged voters to speak their minds, to argue and debate, but I also urged voters to remember that, at the end of the day, we are all still neighbors and friends. I look forward to continuing in that same vein as a selectman.

Although I have no opponent on the ballot for the two-year selectman’s seat, I respectfully ask for your vote and support.

Time to say no to more taxes and more government To the editor: Guess what, folks! Most residents in Tamworth really do want a pleasant community with clean air and water. The current conflict has arisen because many of us believe we can accomplish this without laws and regulations forcing us to do it the way offi cials and bureaucrats believe it should be done. Many of us believe there is more than one way to reach a goal. We may even be responsible enough and intelligent enough to do it ourselves without some offi cial supervising us and our activities.

We are over taxed and over regulated! It is happening locally, statewide, and nationally. Government takes our money, and then it spends it for us, telling us how we should live.

Enough, already!

Many of us have lived a number of years in a peaceful fashion, minding our own business, trying to help others (on our own, not through forced donations by way of taxes) and trying to be productive, contributing members of society, all while raising families and trying to earn a living. Please give us a modicum of credit.

In fact, most of Tamworth is unavail-

able for development — look at the state forest, state park, land covered by conservation easements, Society for Protection of New Hampshire Forests, Nature’s Conservancy, Chocorua Lake preservation group and the Wonalancet protection group. By the way, the latter two groups were, I believe, formed voluntarily by residents and land owners.

Can we be open-minded and try a different way of doing things? We are the “Live Free or Die” state. Our people have reached very high compliance in buckling up our seat belts mainly through education, and without enacting more laws. This is just one example of proving the bureaucrats wrong. Are we ready to try getting along without other laws and ordinances? I think so. It may be time to find out if we can get along without a planning board, conservation commission, and groundwater protection ordinance.

Let’s not make the “Live Free” part of our motto meaningless. It is time to say no to more taxes and more government.

Mary C. Mills Tamworth

Vote yes for updated groundwater protection ordinance To the editor: On March 8 voters in Ossipee and the surrounding towns in the Ossipee Watershed have an opportunity to vote yes for the updated groundwater protection ordinance.

For more than a year, planning board members, conservation commissioners, and other interested citizens have met to tailor the content of the ordinance to meet the needs of our town with the help of Lakes Region Planning Commission.

Part of this ordinance is an updated map showing the Ossipee Aquifer and

the well-head protection areas which is much more accurate than the current map that goes back to 1981.

This ordinance applies only to businesses located over the aquifer that are handling risky substances. Personally, I want to know that those businesses know about and follow safe management practices. Preventing pollution is much less expensive than spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on cleaning up contaminated sites in Ossipee.

LETTERS

With respect to operating a safe and humane correctional facility, it’s better to be penny wise than pound foolish To the editor: As the Superintendent of the Carroll County Department of Corrections I feel the necessity of responding to Representative McCarthy’s column “Reconsidering Nurse’s Burnout.”

First and foremost, let’s deal with facts not opinions. The fact is the term burnout was in no way a “play on the sympathies of the county delegation, and the taxpayer.” Representative McCarthy is correct regarding the lack of nursing coverage up until a few years ago. I began at the facility in 1996 as a correctional offi cer. At that time we would take inmates in without real medical screening. Correctional offi cers would ask a few medical questions, obtain the information on the inmate’s personal care physician, and then either put the inmate in a cell or progress into the bailing functions. Correctional offi cers, who received no formal training on the dispensing of medications, would four times a day provide medication to the inmates. These medications ranged from antibiotics to controlled drugs.

When there was a medical emergency, the facility would contact the nursing home and a nurse would come over, assess the inmate and most often would send the inmate to the hospital.

In 2003 prior to moving into the new facility the county delegation approved a nurse for the facility. This was done in response to high medical costs. Prior to that time, the medical line exceeded $300,000. Immediately the nurse began saving money by doing assessments and treating minor injuries without having to send the inmate to the hospital. In the new facility, inmates would receive a medical intake; the nurse would conduct an exam, contact the inmate’s personal care physician (if they had one) and be able to gather pertinent medical history and continue appropriate care.

But this could happen only when the nurse was on duty.

Rep. McCarthy cites the reason for having a nurse was primarily for dispensing medication and fear of inmate law suits. At a sub-committee meeting Rep. McCarthy opined that the medical needs for the correctional facility are not as demanding as that of a hospital and therefore only an LPN is needed.

What is overlooked is that the nursing staff, along with the correctional staff, deals more often than not with inmates who suffer from mental illness, substance abuse and other health hazards.

For example, the week after this comment, I along with the nursing staff and the psychiatric nurse practitioner spent three hours getting an inmate admitted to the State Hospital due to severe suicidal behavior. The following day, two

officers had to escort an inmate to the hospital who was suffering from dehydration due to alcohol withdrawals.

There are countless stories like these reflecting the necessity for proper medical coverage in the facility.

With regard to inmate lawsuits, Rep. McCarthy and citizens of Carroll County, the following was taken from “Inmate Litigation” by Harvey S. Gray, Gray, Rust, St. Amand, Moffett & Brieske, LLP. Until the 1960s, under common law, a prisoner had no right to bring a lawsuit. Prisoners were considered “slaves of the state,” and confi nement was deemed a moment of “civil death.” W.L. Selke, Prisons in Crisis 28. “[U]pon conviction and sentencing to a term of imprisonment, the inmate lost all rights and was under the absolute control of correctional authorities.” The social atmosphere of the 1960s spurred a new judicial philosophy recognizing prisoner’s rights and more receptivity to lawsuits filed by prisoners. Two case were cited: Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 97 S.Ct. 285 (1976) and Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 14 S.Ct. 1970 (1994) In 1976, the United States Supreme Court decided Estelle v. Gamble, held that “[t]he Constitution is violated when prison officials intentionally deny or delay access to medical care, where they provide grossly inadequate medical treatment, or where they intentionally interfere with the treatment prescribed by a physician.” Estelle established the government’s obligation to provide medical care for those whom it is punishing by incarceration. An inmate must rely on prison authorities to treat his medical needs; if the authorities fail to do so, those needs will not be met. In the worst cases, such a failure may actually produce physical “torture or a lingering death.” In less serious cases, denial of medical care may result in pain and suffering which no one suggests would serve any penological purpose. Cf. Gregg v. Georgia, supra , at 173, 96 S.Ct. at 2924-2. The infl iction of such unnecessary suffering is inconsistent with contemporary standards of decency as manifested in modern legislation codifying the common-law view that “(i)t is but just that the public be required to care for the prisoner, who cannot by reason of the deprivation of his liberty, care for himself.”

We therefore conclude that deliberate indifference to serious medical needs of prisoners constitutes the “unnecessary and wanton infliction of pain,” Gregg v.

Georgia, supra, at 173, 96 S.Ct. at 2925.

This is true whether the indifference is manifested by prison doctors in their response to the prisoner’s needs or by

prison guards in intentionally denying or delaying access to medical care or intentionally interfering with the treatment once prescribed. Regardless of how evidenced, deliberate indifference to a prisoner’s serious illness or injury states a cause of action under § 1983.

Almost 20 years later, in Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 14 S.Ct. 1970 (1994), the Supreme Court expanded its interpretation of the Eighth Amendment to address the circumstances under which an inmate’s exposure to a serious risk of harm could be used to support a civil claim for damages under § 1983. Virtually every inmate complaint to this day is analyzed under the principles established in Estelle and Farmer.

Among the four leading types of correctional-conditions litigation in federal court number one is inadequate medical care (including jail suicide).

It is clear that inmates, whether pretrial detainees or convicted felons, are entitled to certain protections under the federal constitution which are not available to private citizens. The custodial nature of the relationship establishes affirmative duties on government officials with regard to medical care, protection from harm and conditions of confinement.

Under NH State RSA: B:4 Superintendent; General Duties and Powers (V) The superintendent shall provide each prisoner in his or her custody with necessary sustenance, clothing, bedding, shelter, and medical care. During one of our facility sub-committee meetings, I shared with the sub-committee a $4 million wrongful death suit recently published in the Correctional Law Reporter.

This facility will be modifying the nursing schedules to reduce the coverage. Originally we were set up to facilitate Sick Call so inmates could be screened for the facility doctor who comes in once per week. While sick call is being conducted, one nurse prepares for the upcoming med pass or contacts various doctors’ offi ces to set up appointments or follow up on a recent appointment. The facility now employs one contracted ARNP, who is the Medical Director and oversees the nurses. We have two full-time RN’s and one full-time LPN. We also have a full-time ARNP who specialized in psychiatric care, not general medicine.

The department has one per diem RN who will fill shifts when needed. At the present time, there is nursing coverage from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m. When one of the three nurses goes on vacation or has a sick day, that means one of the other full-time nurses is covering for them.

The per diem is not always available to

cover the shifts.

Currently there are no jail standards for the state of New Hampshire to dictate the type of medical coverage needed in a correctional facility. Therefore, in order to run a safe and effi cient facility as outlined in statue, I chose to use the American Corrections Association as a foundation for policy development. Using these standards will help reduce the liability to the facility. With regard to medical care, the following ACA standard was sighted : 4-ALDF4C-22 — Intake medical screening for inmates commences upon the inmate’s arrival at the facility and is preformed by a health-trained or qualifi ed health care personnel. All fi ndings are recorded on a screening form approved by the health authority. Inmates, who are unconscious, semiconscious, bleeding, or otherwise obviously in need of immediate medical attention, are referred. When they are referred to an emergency department, their admission or return to the facility is predicated on written medical clearance.

When screening is conducted by trained custody staff, a subsequent review of positive findings by the licensed health care staff is required. The responsible physician, in cooperation with the facility manager, establishes protocols.

Health care costs are ballooning for everyone. The facility is obligated to provide proper medical care for those who are incarcerated in our facilities.

The current budgeted amount for the health care department including benefits is: $538,236.00. I am not sure where Representative McCarthy got his figure of $598,207.

Historically Carroll County has had the smallest budget of any other county in the State of New Hampshire. The delegation continues to tell department heads to cut spending. With respect to the department of corrections, there was a staffi ng analysis conducted prior to the facility opening which called for 36 officers to effectively operate the facility. The analysis indicated that “it was not an over abundance of staff, and it was not barebones.” Currently there are 27 officers including the superintendent.

The superintendent is held answerable to the effective and effi cient operation. Federal Courts have traditionally not upheld conditions of confinement cases solely based on lack of funding. With respects to operating a safe and humane correctional facility, I feel that it is better to be penny wise than pound foolish.

Instead of focusing on cuts how about focusing on ways of improving a system that is pretty bare bones already To the editor: I am writing in response to Mr. Marvel’s article titled “Building the Automatic Majority” that was featured in the Tuesday, Feb. 22, issue of The Conway Daily Sun. It appears that Mr. Marvel has a very narrow vision of what an education should or should not include.

Although hyphenating compound adjectives, eliminating dangling participles, and attending to those pesky prepositions that can end up at the

end of a sentence have a place in the education of our future, it is just not quite as simple as that. We are educating very young people, many of whom, have dreams filled with optimism and hope. I believe that it would be beneficial for them and for us to cultivate these qualities, not extinguish them.

Showing our support is crucial.

Education can not just be passing along information or we will fall short in providing what our young people need. Memorizing facts and reporting

them back in grammatically correct sentences is a part of education, for sure, but there is so much more.

These young people are as diverse as we are. Some are already artists, actors, dancers and athletes. They are the future mechanics, businessmen and women, doctors, lawyers, teachers, astronauts, etc.

Please open your heart and expand your mind to include the effect that you are having on our young people right now. The students in our com-

munity read your articles. Your comments are often hurtful. Instead of focusing on budget cuts, and making hurtful comments about teachers and the classes that they teach, (none of which I believe you have attended), how about focusing on ways of improving a system that is pretty bare bones already. By the way, I am not a teacher, but I do have great respect for those who are.

CUT from page one

The six members of the committee — Bob Drinkhall, Bill Masters, Ray Shakir, Doug Swett, Linda Teagan and John Edgerton — were asked by chairman David Sordi if any of them would like to make a motion to revisit the Feb. 13 vote, but none of them chose to, thus leaving their action in place for Wednesday’s deliberative meeting.

At the four-hour meeting on Feb. 13, the budget committee rejected the school board’s proposal of a $33.1 million budget, along with several other proposals, on the way to the final 11 percent cut.

With the proposed 11 percent cut, the school could face a $3.6 million cut to the operating budget if the voters don’t amend the committee’s recommendation at the deliberative session.

SAU 9 superintendent Carl Nelson believes the proposed cut is more in the neighborhood of $4.1 million. Even if voters elected to restore 10 percent to the school budget at the deliberative, it would still leave a cut of $829,030.

“They didn’t fi gure the cut based on the MS 727 (form),” he said. “(The budget committee) did an 11 percent cut across the board but there are certain things like bonds that can’t be cut. If the deliberative doesn’t restore 10 percent (the maximum that a budget at the deliberative can be increased or decreased under the SB 2 form of government), it’ll be a cut of about $4.1 million.”

The proposed school budget, excluding warrant articles, which total about $733,000, is $33,085,373.

The default budget, which would kick in if the regular budget fails, is $33,275,846 — $190,473 more than what is being proposed by the school board.

The default budget, Nelson has explained, starts with the previous year’s gross budget. “Then you deduct any one-time expenses (special education, insurance reductions and special warrant articles).

You then add back in your contractual obligations like fuel, maintenance, the librarians and reading specialists (items required by the state).”

The budget is less than the default budget due to administrators trimming about $263,000 to make

up for a bond payment that has expired.

Last April voters approved the school budget of $32,612,765. The default budget, that spring was $32,491,415 — $121,350 less than what was proposed by the school board.

The school board sent a fi ve-page letter to the budget committee last Thursday.

“The Conway School Board has met with counsel to discuss the recent vote by the Conway Budget Committee to reduce the proposed school budget by 11 percent. Counsel reviewed with the Board the New Hampshire Supreme Court case of Baker v.

Hudson School District, 111 N.H. 54(971), in which a budget committee had taken similar action and then sought to prohibit the Hudson School Board from restoring more than 10 percent of the budget committee’s figure.

“The Supreme Court determined that the arbitrary cut of a percentage of the budget by the budget committee represented a failure of the committee to do its job to review the budget in a responsible manner and was therefore illegal and void.

“For similar reasons, the Conway School Board believes that the Conway Budget Committee has failed in its duty to review the budget as presented by the school board in a rational and responsible manner so that the proposed cuts do not force the wholesale removal of programs, the closing of facilities and other precipitous actions that may jeopardize the tuition contracts with surrounding districts, and education in general.”

School attorney John Teague presented that argument to the budget committee Sunday night.

Attorney Malia, however, thought budgeteers acted within their rights.

Sordi explained to those on hand Sunday the role of the budget committee which he said is to look at all of the different budgets presented to the town from the school district, the town and precincts. He explained the budget committee sent a letter in late fall to the town, the school and precincts urging each to look at trimming their budgets given the current state of the economy.

In its Nov. 3 letter to the school, budgeteers wrote:

K .T . P O W E R

“With these issues in mind, the budget committee, acting in its sole role as ‘the voice of the people,’ ask you to, at the very least, maintain a fl at budget, including all variable costs such as salaries, benefits and special articles, for the coming budget year. We also believe that you should strongly consider reducing the overall budget 5 percent for the coming year.

We look forward to working with you during the upcoming budget season. We hope you accept this letter in the spirit that it’s been sent, to reduce the financial burden on our neighbors.”

“We did not hear one response,” Sordi said at Sunday’s meeting. “We have tried to reach out and have gotten no response.”

“You’re going to ruin the education for the children of this valley with a $4 million cut,” Syndi White, of the Conway School Board, said.

Fellow school board member Randy Davison appreciates fi scal responsibility of the committee but also felt a $4 million cut would be drastic. He was the lone school board member not to vote for the budget the board presented.

“I try to be fiscally responsible,” he said. “You want to deliver a good education but have to look out for the people who pay the bills. I think it would have been nice to have had a list of where the budget committee would like to cut. An 11 percent cut would be devastating.”

Davison said the Conway School District has made a pledge to sending towns Albany, Bartlett, Eaton, Freedom, Jackson, Madison and Tamworth to provide an adequate education to their children when the towns agreed to a 20-year partnership.

“Those communities were upset with what we we were looking at cutting,” he said referring to an exercise the board went through last fall to see what $1.5 and $1 million cuts might look like.

“I hear close an elementary school. Which one?”

Davison continued. “Try closing a fire department in this town, it won’t happen. I wouldn’t get re-elected if I chose to close an elementary school. A $1 million cut is a lot; a $4 million cut...” see next page

Paul Mayer, one of the founders of the MWV Coalition for Educational Excellence, spoke against the cut.

“To hear (the budget committee) supports a education and then hear you support a $4 million cut to the education system in Mount Washington Valley, I fi nd your fi rst statement hard to believe,” he said.

Mayer said he researched the impact of school taxes on the tax bill over the past 10 years. On a $200,000 home in Conway, he said, over the past 10 years the school tax has risen a total of $239, or $29 per year on average.

“It has not doubled,” Mayer said. “No one lost their home; we haven’t lost the farm yet.”

Mayer said Conway has made two contract commitments: one to the sending towns to supply to meet their education needs, and one to the children.

“The second contract you all inherited as citizens of the United States is to provide education to children,” Mayer said. “With a $4 million cut, the budget committee is in breech of that contract.”

Kelly Defeo, who signed up for a three-year seat on the budget committee, Tuesday, took the committee to task.

“You should be ashamed of yourself for what you’re putting forward,” she said.

Sordi urged citizens to remain civil.

“People on this budget committee are here as volunteers,” he said. “I think we have put our due-diligence into this budget.”

Hunter Libby, a freshman at Kennett High, is concerned about possible cuts. “If you make a $4 million cut it will take away from all the stuff that instills school pride,” he said.

Former budget committee chair Melissa Stacey, who fi led for a three-year term on the school board Tuesday, asked the budget committee members to explain their cut.

“Give me some rationale — tell me what you see as fat so I can understand it,” she said. “I don’t doubt that you did your homework, but I want to hear why 11 percent. Where did you see the fat?”

“I think this has been a long time getting here,” Bill Marvel said. “The present school board is suffering from the actions of previous school boards. I think if we had seen a team (of teachers) reduced at the (Kennett Middle School) we wouldn’t be here tonight.”

This land is my land: Tamworth voters debate petitions to abolish planning, conservation boards

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

TAMWORTH — Selectmen’s candidate Kent Jardine made it clear that he really wants to abolish the conservation commission and the planning board.

Residents are considering petitions to abolish both boards. They will vote on the planning board petition at the polls on March 8.

Voters will discuss getting rid of the conservation commission at town meeting on March 9.

On Tuesday, both boards held a questionand-answer session for voters at the KA Brett School.

Jardine said was one of the people putting signs up encouraging voters to abolish both boards.

“My thought is, it’s your land. There are state and federal laws. You must follow these laws or you will be fined,” said Jardine. “Also, a lot of this land that has been designated wetlands has buildable lots, which will take away from our tax base in the future. You’re going to have less and less land to buy and to build on.”

Jardine made those points several times.

He stressed that the tax impact of the land in conservation will be felt in 20 or 30 years.

His argument surprised planning board member Becca Boyden. She stressed land owners decide to put land into conservation “If we’re arguing for individual rights to your property, then if I want to put my land

into conservation, it sounds like you’re arguing I shouldn’t put my land into conservation in case a generation or two down the road wants to build on it. I’m saying, ‘Hey, it’s my land,’” she said.

Further, Boyden said it was an irresponsible approach to leave inspection to the state or federal inspectors who would eventually catch violators. At one point, Boyden and Jardine were nearly shouting at each other.

Conservation commission chairman Ned Beecher said the town should discuss how much land it wishes to preserve. Currently, about 35 percent of the land is in some type of conservation — meaning covenants, easements, state forest and the state park.

Resident Paul King saw “three technical problems” with abolishing the planning board and the conservation commission. King works as a land surveyor and civil engineer. The fi rst problem is, even if the planning board is abolished, the zoning ordinances are in effect for two years. Specifically, people frequently need septic waivers but no one could grant them.

“Someone would have to wait for up to two years with a failed system to get that rectified,” said King.

The second problem is subdivisions and boundary line adjustments. Assuming the planning board was abolished, the subdivision regulations would stay in place.

Land owners wouldn’t know if they are in compliance.

“It would be foolish for someone in that situation to invest any money into building a house on a lot, and I think it would be extremely foolish for a banker to give out any mortgage money for a lot in that situation,” said King. see TAMWORTH page 12

Page 12 — THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Friday, March 4, 2011

TAMWORTH from page 11

The third problem deals with the conservation commission. The state has dredge-and-fi ll regulations and if there is no conservation commission, an applicant would need to use the standard forms for dealing with the state regulations rather than the expedited forms. The standard forms don’t move as quickly and they can be more costly to fill out.

Later, King and several other people debated whether or not someone could subdivide their property without a planning board. Selectman Willie Farnum said that would be illegal but King said there may be a way to do it by deed — but King said he wouldn’t advocate for using that strategy.

“The key point is it’s going to create confusion,” said Beecher.

Former planning board member Scott Aspinall agreed with King’s point about the banks. Aspinall said he recalled times when banks would come in and ask the planning board to look at cases to help people get loans or obtain clear titles.

A teary eyed John Mersfelder passionately defended the conservation commission. He said conservation land bring in tourists. He also dismissed the argument that covenants and easements must tie up all the land on a lot — as sections can be carved out for development.

“This town meeting coming up will be the 45th anniversary of the conservation commission, I wish it 45 more years and more,” said Mersfelder choking up with emotion. “Today happens to be the anniversary of the Weeks Act, that protected the White Mountains.”

Beecher wanted to address the cost of the conservation commission. The commission has a budget of $6,000 per year. Much of it goes to a part-time administrative assistant who keeps minutes. The budget also covers such things as legal fees and trail maintenance costs.

There is also the conservation fund which is funded up to $5,000 per year from the land use change tax. That fund has close to $70,000. It’s used sparingly.

It can be used to purchase land or easements. The conservation commission has focused on protecting river corridors. In the last two years, the commission has been trying to preserve the open space between the Ossipee Mountains and the Sandwich Range. The large block of forest provides valuable habitat for large mammals. Large animals may being inbreeding if they don’t have enough space.

Resident Alexandra Cook asked about the planning board’s proposal to update the earth excavation ordinance.

Planning board member Steve Gray replied that the original ordinance was written to keep new pits from coming to town. Also, the current ordinance contradicts state laws, which is illegal.

Selectmen’s chair John Roberts said under the prosed ordinance it would be easy to open a gravel pit. Roberts is a pit owner himself.

Cook also asked if the groundwater ordinance would shut down existing gravel pits.

“No, no zoning ordinance can shut down something that already exists because they are all grandfathered,” said planning board member David Little. “You can’t zone something out of existence. State law doesn’t allow it.”

Hounsell withdraws from selectmen’s race

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — The mind is willing but his body may not be, so Mark Hounsell announced Thursday he was withdrawing his name as a candidate for the board of selectman just a day after filing at town hall.

Hounsell issued a prepared statement just after noon Thursday.

“People have asked me if elected will I be certain to fi nish my term. My answer is ‘No.’ For various valid reasons I cannot commit to being able to complete all three years. Since I believe the people of Conway need a selectman who is able to make such a promise I have decided to withdraw from the race. Fortunately voters have a good slate of candidates to choose from.”

Town clerk Rhoda Quint said Hounsell was well within his rights to withdraw his candidacy before Friday’s deadline under RSA 669:22. Had he opted to withdraw after Friday his name would have appeared on the April ballot, but now will not.

Hounsell’s departure still leaves a huge fi eld for selectman with nine other candidates in the race.

Hounsell has served as selectman previous, and is just the second person in the town’s history to have served simultaneously on the school board

CANDIDATES from page one

their services for one of the two threeyear seats opening up on the board of selectmen.

The fi ling deadline is this Friday at 5 p.m. at the town hall in Center Conway. The cost to sign up is $1.

“I’ve never seen a turnout like this,” Rhoda Quint, town clerk/tax collector, said, laughing. “I think it’s great to see people willing to get involved. I can’t wait to see what Friday brings.”

Also vying for seats on the board of selectman are incumbents Bob Drinkhall and David Weathers along with Wayne Brett, Syndi White and Michael Boucher, of East Conway.

Drinkhall is seeking a second term on the board while Weathers has served 10 years.

Also on the town side of things, the budget committee, which has eight vacancies, is generating quite a bit of interest this year. Maury McKinney and Theresa Gallagher both fi led Thursday for seats.

McKinney joined Bobby Strong and Jason Fougere in seeking the two twoyear terms on the committee.

Gallagher signed up for one of the four three-year terms joining incumbent Linda Teagan, Boucher and Kelly Defeo. Fellow incumbent Bill Masters has not announced if he will run again.

Greydon Turner, who was appointed to the budget committee last week, and Brian Charles have fi led for the two one-year terms.

Another seat for one year will open up in April when current chairman David Sordi plans to step down.

Brett has signed up for a threeyear term on the police commission.

He will challenge Rodney King, who was appointed last year to fi ll out the remainder of Bob Porter’s term. King

“People have asked me if elected will I be certain to finish my term.

My answer is ‘No.’ For various valid reasons I cannot commit to being able to complete all three years.” and board of selectmen. He was looking forward to returning to the political arena earlier in the week.

“After much consideration and after receiving input and valued advice from several individuals, I have decided it is time for me to again offer my experience and leadership to the people of Conway,” he said Wednesday.

Hounsell stepped down from the board of selectmen in 2009 due to illness, but said he feels good, is energized, and would like to get back involved in town politics.

Hounsell’s involvement in politics began in 1976, when he was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Conway Budget Committee. Since then, he has served as a constable for the town of Albany from 1981-82; was elected to the state Senate in 1984 and 1986; won a seat on the Conway Board of Selectmen from 1999-2002 and again from 20052009; and was also on the Conway School Board from 2005-2007. signed up last week.

There’s also a race for two threeyear terms as library trustees. Incumbents Bill Marvel and Judith Seddon both have fi led for re-election while Sarah Charles had also signed up.

No one has fi led for the two threeyear seats on the planning board.

Sordi and Martha Tobin are the incumbents.

There are two openings for supervisors of the checklists: a one-year and a three-year position. Mary Cuthbertson and Mary Day currently hold the seats. Cuthbertson and Denise Leighton have both fi led for the three-year seat.

No one has fi led for the moderator post, a one-year term. Incumbent Rebecca Oleson plans to sign-up before the deadline.

Incumbent Wendy Holmes has filed for the three-year trustee of funds position.

There are three three-year seats on the school board opening up: Janine McLauchlan and Rick Breton are the incumbents while Alana Starkey was appointed last summer to fi ll out the remainder of Kelley Murphy’s term on the board.

Breton and Starkey both signed up last week while Melissa Stacey, former chair of the budget committee, joined the race Tuesday and McLauchlan, current chair of the board, fi led Wednesday.

Other school positions available include: one-year terms for moderator (Doug Burnell is the incumbent and fi led Thursday), treasurer (Ted Sares is the incumbent and has fi led for another term) and clerk (Quint is the incumbent).

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Friday, March 4, 2011— Page 13

Three candidates for two seats on the Madison School Board MADISON — There are three people are running for two seats on the Madison School Board. Voting day is Tuesday Challenger Bruce Brooks Q: Why are you running?

Brooks: I have the time because I recently retired. The school is the largest portion of anyone’s tax bill. So, I’d like to be part of formulating the school district’s budget.

Q: Why are you qualified?

Brooks: I have three children who have gone through the school system.

All three have graduated college. I have four grandchildren in the system.

I have served on various school study committees. For work, I have driven buses for 10 years and was SAU 13’s transportation director for nine years.

Q: What’s the most important issue facing Madison School District?

Brooks: The biggest issue is being fiscally responsible. Right now, unemployment is up across the Mount Washington Valley . I don’t know when the economy will get better but until it shows signs of improvement we all need to tighten our belts. As a school board member I wouldn’t be creating reasons for new taxation. I do not oppose the concept of all-day kindergarten but I’m not sure it would work for all 5 year olds.

Incumbent Sarah Parsons Q: Why are you running?

Parsons: I’m running for school board again because I believe that education is one of the issues that defines a community. I believe that education is an investment in the future of this community because people look at the quality of the schools when they consider buying a house or starting a business. Besides that, the better we are at promoting opportunity in our children the more likely they are to feel as if they want their children to have the same opportunities they did.

Q: Why are you qualified?

Parsons: My qualifi cations include my tenure on the Madison School Board. While on the board, I have worked to create an educational community where the priority is on creating and encouraging lifelong learners utilizing whatever tools are appropriate for the job. The board’s contribution to that environment is to make sure that we have leadership and policies we need to prioritize education effectively and effi ciently. We have tried to create an environment where educators can focus on their mission with as little interference as possible from politics. I have learned a great deal in my six years on the board and think that I understand the Madison community better than I did when I started. I’m not afraid to change my mind on an issue when I see things in a different way. I have used that knowledge when making decisions that impact our community such as choosing a principal, negotiating a teachers’ contract, and evaluating the efficacy of disbanding SAU 13 and rejoining SAU 9. We have worked hard to have a say in decisions related

to students from Madison in SAU 9.

In addition, I’m the mother of two school-aged children which gives me practical experience with the school and the quality of the education they’re receiving. I’ve been working in the Mount Washington Valley as a social worker for the past fi ve years and have recently returned to graduate school in education.

Q: What’s the top issue facing Madison School District?

Parsons: The biggest challenges for the Madison School District are making sure that most of the money that we are spending is going directly to education. That means asking questions about how the infrastructure costs — operation of the plant, fuel, transportation, administrative services — can be streamlined to make them more effi cient and less costly.

We need to continually reevaluate the way these services are delivered and consider changes that will result in better service and less expense.

Incumbent Sloane Jarell Q: Why are you running?

I am running because I feel it is important to play a role in our children’s education and give back to our community. We are preparing these children for jobs that we can’t even conceive of now. It is our duty to make sure they have an educational climate that allows them to be the best they can be.

Q: Why are you qualified?

First and foremost, I am a mother who wants her children to be encouraged, challenged, educated and inspired, and by being on the board I am in a position to ensure that the educational environment needed for that is in place. I was appointed to the Madison School Board last May and have taken that time to learn the role of a board member. The first year is truly spent learning and acquiring information about the history, direction, defi cits and advantages the school system has. I hope to put that knowledge to good use in the next three years. As a military family must do, I have lived in many places and have been a part of some amazing school systems and that enables me to bring new ideas into the discussion.

Q: What’s the top issue facing Madison School District?

A challenge we face (and will continue to face) is keeping costs down while still positioning our children to succeed. The level of education that is needed will continue to rise, and how will we keep them prepared. I believe one answer is to involve the community.

Madison’s people are rich with education, experience, knowledge and heart.

I would like to encourage more involvement, and, as a result, I believe the children (and families) would give back to the community not only immediately, but also down the road when these little ones are all grown up and want to raise their own families in our beautiful, supportive and nurturing environment themselves. The school is everyone’s investment — we all have something at stake here. Let’s get involved!

Six Carroll County towns present groundwater protection ordinance

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

There is a giant reserve of drinking water under six towns in Carroll County. This March, those towns are proposing ordinances to keep it clean.

The Ossipee aquifer basically is water suspended in a layer of sand.

It stretches from Crawford Notch to Saco, Maine. It supplies the well water to the towns in between.

These towns are proposing new ordinances to keep the aquifer clean: Ossipee, Freedom, Effi ngham, Madison, Tamworth and Sandwich. Ossipee and Madison already have groundwater ordinances in place.

Although the Ossipee aquifer is very large, it is also very fragile, according to Blair Folts and Tara Schroeder of the Green Mountain Conservation Group, which is educating people about the aquifer and endorsing the ordinances. They will be celebrating National Ground Water Awareness Week from March 6 -12.

The Ossipee aquifer is the largest aquifer of its type in New Hampshire. It’s among the largest in New England. Generally, the underground water flows toward Ossipee Lake.

“In a way, it’s like an underground Lake Winnipesaukee,” said Eric Senecal of Lakes Region Planning Commission.

The premise of the ordinance is to keep high-risk land uses away

from the aquifer because water fl ows quickly through the porous soil and so does pollution. For example, said Folts, about six years ago there was a gas station on Route 16 that had a leak. The gas spread through the aquifer. The leak was not the fault of the owner but serious damage had been done, she said.

“The family across the street couldn’t take a shower because there was gas in their water,” said Folts.

“It’s been five or six years and it’s still being cleaned up.”

The cleanup took place where M&V Convenience/Video now sits in Ossipee. The leak cost the state’s spill mitigation fund $704,000, according to records from the Department of Environmental Services.

Over the last 21 years, about $3.5 million has been spent from the New Hampshire Petroleum Fund to clean up various spills in this region. In total, the fund has shelled out $187 million for contamination cleanup since 1990. That fund is now drying up, which could force towns to absorb the cost of cleanup in the future.

One of M&V’s owners, Mark McConkey, said the underground gas plume was created from a leak that started before he and his business partner bought the building. McConkey said they put new and improved tanks in the ground before they opened the gas see GROUNDWATER page 14

station. Unfortunately it took a few years for the gas plume from the old leaky tanks to spread into the neighbor’s property.

“We had no spills that would have caused it,” said McConkey who added the both the neighbor and store have safe water now. “We’re on the hook for the plume because we are the current owners of that property.”

McConkey, a Republican state representative from Freedom, has been most involved with Ossipee’s ordinance because that’s where his businesses are located. McConkey said Ossipee got rid of problematic sections such as the one that could have prevented business owners from discharging storm water on their own property. That section would have

required a storm water management and pollution plan for businesses that are not able to maintain a four foot separation above seasonal high water table.

However, McConkey said all the other towns have kept similar language on storm water. That’s not such a big deal if the planning boards “are willing to make changes and listen to reason,” he said.

“This entire section will cost potential development or an expanding business expend tens of thousands of dollars and in the end may make most available commercial property along Route 16 and Route 25 too costly to develop or render those lands not build-able,” said McConkey.

The towns’ proposed ordinances are based on a model from the state.

are restricted some. For example, it is not someone’s right to store chlordane outside, in an unlabeled rusting drum, over the aquifer,” said Beecher. “ That’s a real threat to public health and safety. The proposed ordinance just provides local encouragement for business owners to use common sense and do the right thing when dealing with regulated substances.”

But McConkey said Tamworth had a provision that says the planning board will have the power to create rules as necessary to administer and enforce the ordinance. McConkey hasn’t seen the same language in any other ordinance — perhaps because Tamworth is the only town without zoning.Tamworth’s ordinance also reserves the right to have rules more stringent than the state.

“It seems like they are giving themselves a lot of power,” said McConkey.

The state already has similar laws on the books. However, Department of Environmental Services doesn’t have enough staff to enforce them, according to written information from Tamworth Conservation Commission.

A similar effort to protect another large aquifer passed in the Belmont, Tilton and Northfi eld area. Those towns haven’t incurred any extra cost, said Schroeder.

activity in areas of town above the aquifer. Residences are exempt.

McConkey said it seems the ordinance writers exempted homeowners as a way to gain political support.

“Just as the underlying aquifer knows no political subdivision boundaries it also cares not who is the polluter,” said McConkey. “Private residents are exempt from all of the new regulations enforcement of the regulations and all fi nes associated with that enforcement.”

The model ordinance would prohibit the following land uses above the aquifer: hazardous waste disposal facility, solid waste landfill, outdoor storage of road salt and de-icing materials, junkyards, snow dumps, waste water and septage lagoon, petroleum bulk plant or terminal, gas stations.

“It’s all common sense,” said Schroeder.

Tamworth Conservation Commission Chair Ned Beecher said, for example, his town’s ordinance would require a business located above the aquifer to have a permit for storing 100 gallons of solvent. In order to obtain a permit, a business would need to create a spill prevention,control and counter measure plan. The goal is to minimize the risk of contamination.

Allen, Funicella face off for Jackson selectman John AllenGino Funicella Tell us a little about yourself — family, work, etc.

My family has owned property in Jackson since the late 1920s, but I was born and raised in Providence, R.I. I summered here when I was a kid, and I remember playing summer baseball for Bob Burns and soccer on West Side Road in my younger years. Now I am a single dad with two children, Tim and Melanie. Tim is a freshman at Kennett and Mel is a sophomore at St. Joseph’s College in Windham, Maine.

I work at Kennett as a math teacher and have done so for about 25 years. I still love it.

Have you served on any town political offices in the past?

No, this is my rookie debut.

How long have you been a resident of Jackson?

Probably about 30 years, give or take a few.

Why are you running?

I want to re-establish a working rapport with the Bartlett selectman in regards to the past issues with the transfer station. I think that I can do that. Secondly, I want to help the town control spending at the selectman level. Thirdly, I want to have open selectman meetings where the public is encouraged ask questions and participate.

What do you see as the role of a selectman?

This is where my learning curve will be rather steep. I’m pretty good with see ALLEN page 15

Tell us a little about yourself — family, work, etc.

My wife Beth and I live with our two Brittanys and manage a small development company and real estate trust.

We enjoyed serving as New Hampshire foster parents from 1990-2004. I have a degree in business administration from Burdett College and worked for 25 years in the transportation industry with responsibility for operations in 30 states and a budget of $50 million.

Have you served on any town political offices in the past?

Conservation Commission — two years.

Chair of Bartlett/Jackson Ambulance Service — four years.

Planning Board — four years.

Selectman — six years.

Transfer Station Committee — one year, still serving.

Zoning Board of Adjustment — two years, still serving.

How long have you been a resident of Jackson?

13 years.

Why are you running?

The primary reason I am running is as a former six-year selectman I am concerned that recent discussions to reduce zoning, permitting and road standards will set back gains of the past several years. If these standards are lowered, or even worse eliminated, property values and owner protections will be at risk. I wish to return to the board of selectmen see FUNICELLA page 15

numbers and I have a bit of budget writing experience.

I want to assist in analyzing tends in expenditures, and with my experience, contribute to making long range plans for the town. Of course, there is some (a lot) of committee work to do. Lastly, listening to townspeople and getting their input regarding any issues in Jackson. Other areas: building permits, planning board, zoning issues, etc.

What should a selectman’s top three priorities be, in your opinion?

To be able to work well on various committees, boards, and with other selectman. I’m a people person, so I feel that I would fit in well in those situations.

Budget writing. Again, a field that I can really help out in this area.

Try to bring back the small-town community feel that Jackson once had years ago, where everyone helped out everyone else.

What skills do you feel you bring to the position?

People skills, budget experience, and knowledge of the local economy.

What do you see as the biggest positive in Jackson?

The versatility of the economic base. We have it all, skiing, dining, hiking, fishing, golf, inns, you name it!

Do you have any goals you’d like to see the town attain over the course of your term?

Bring the town tax rate down. I think the past selectmen have done a great job, but I have a couple ideas to track present and future spending. Also, I’m looking forward to working with the Bartlett selectmen.

Any final thoughts?

I would like to thank everyone who has given me a ton of encouragement and support already. All I can promise is that I will give it my all if elected.

FUNICELLA from page 14

to work for the maintenance of these standards.

What do you see as the role of a selectman?

To work in concert with the other board members to resolve any town problems that arise, to assure that town ordinances and state laws are adhered to, and provide fair hearings for all.

What should a selectman’s top three priorities be, in your opinion?

Administering the town’s business by making sure the taxpayer is getting the best value for their dollar; ensuring the best possible police practices are in place for security of all residents and visitors; making sure the town workforce puts the highest priority on resident satisfaction with regard to all services of the town, both in the office administration and other town functions.

What skills do you feel you bring to the position?

As a two-term selectman I feel my skills have been finely honed in the six years on the board. My work history also stands me in good stead because my experience has been in management liaison for the transportation industry, and that background transfers well to the selectman’s position with serving the taxpayers.

I am a cost cutter and have been able to find solutions to keep the Jackson tax rate lower than most of the towns in the state of equal size, all the while helping to modernize the town assets.

What do you see as the biggest positive in Jackson?

The biggest positive in Jackson is the tremendous growth in infrastructure that has taken place in the past seven years with the addition of the Whitney Center, a new library, a new garage and salt shed, a restored town hall now under the auspices of the historical society, an upgraded fi re station and an enlarged school. Tied for first in the positive zone are the people who have made all these improvements possible.

Do you have any goals you’d like to see the town attain over the course of your term?

My personal goals are rather sanguine. I want the current zoning, building and road standards to be maintained. I want to have our disagreement at the transfer station settled, and I would like to get a longterm plan for road and bridge improvements in place.

Any final thoughts?

I wish to thank all the candidates who are working to get elected, and also all the voters who allowed me to serve as a selectman for six years. I would ask everyone to vote on March 8 and offer my best regards to all.

County attorney makes case for staff raises

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

OSSIPEE — The county attorney tried to get his lowest paid assistant attorney a raise. But lawmakers weren’t persuaded.

On Monday, the county legislative delegation, a group of 14 state representatives, was reviewing the budgets of several county departments.

During the meeting county attorney Tom Dewhurst said the the pay for the newest assistant county attorney was “really, really substandard” at $42,000. The other more experienced attorneys are paid $62,720 and $51,200. Dewhurst himself makes $70,000; that amount was reduced because he doesn’t take health benefits.

Kristin Oickle began work in the fall. She recently graduated from law school but had some prior experience as an intern at Hillsborough County Attorney’s Office.

“We should have these salaries up over $50,000 even for a junior assistant county attorney,” said Dewhurst.

“This ($42,000) is almost a paralegal salary.”

As a comparison, Dewhurst said Conway police pay their prosecutor more than Oickle is being paid.

Dewhurst didn’t mention Oickle by name.

The low pay makes it difficult for the county to retain its assistant attorneys, Dewhurst said. Two told him that they would leave if they could find a higher-paying position. Former county attorney Robin Gordon has also said the low pay is a problem.

The salary line item for all the assistant county attorneys for last year was $160,472. Dewhurst is planning on level funding it. But he would have liked to bump it up to $165,000.

Dewhurst would like to give the senior

attorneys each a 2 percent raise and then give $5,000 more to Oickle.

But most of the lawmakers weren’t willing to grant the extra money. So, Dewhurst said he’d give each attorney a 2 percent raise. Then Oickle will get what’s remaining -- $1,433. The vote will be ratifi ed at an upcoming meeting when the lawmakers go into convention.

“I recommend we don’t do this increase,” said Rep. David Knox R-Wolfeboro making a motion. “I don’t think this is the year to be doing it.”

Rep. Harry Merrow (R-Ossipee) disagreed with Knox.

“When I had people working for me, it was always my intention that good people are hard to get,” said Merrow explaining why he’d vote against Knox’s motion. “If I have a good person I’d rather pay them enough to keep them and make my cuts someplace else.”

Had Knox’s motion not passed, Rep. David Babson (R-Ossipee) said he would have made another motion to increase Oickle’s pay to $45,000 once she passes a six-month probation period.

“It’s ridiculous to train these people and have them go someplace else,” said Babson. “I’ve been listening to this for 12 years now.”

But Rep. Karen Umberger (R-Kearsage) said there are lots of recent law school graduates looking for a job who would work for $42,000.

She also criticized Conway police for hiring a full-time prosecutor.

“That really tightened my jaw,” said Umberger of the decision to hire a police prosecutor. “We don’t have that much crime in Conway. And if we do, I’m moving.”

Rep. Harry Merrow (R-Ossipee) asked Dewhurst how long he thought it would take for a new attorney to come up to speed.

Dewhurst replied that Oickle has done particularly well. But generally it could take three to six months.

The county won’t be able to attract an experienced assistant attorney for $42,000.

But Rep. Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett) said any department head proposing an increase should propose a equal decrease someplace else.

The lawmakers decided not to give a $1,906 raise to Victim Witness Advocate Melissa Smith. The raise would have brought her salary to $41,094.

Rep. Dino Scala (R-Wakefi eld) made that motion. His motion was for half the raise that was proposed at a prior meeting.

“I’ve seen this woman perform in court, I know these salaries are not comparable to what other counties are paying,” said Scala. “I think she’s worth keeping around. Rather than going for the whole apple, I’m just trying to get half.”

But Chandler said it wouldn’t be fair to start determining who gets paid more than the standard 2 percent raise.

Other meeting highlights: * The county attorney may need about $25,000 for trying to civilly commit sex offender Michael Seibel.

Most of the money would go toward paying for expert testimony. * Former county commissioner Chip Albee blasted offi cials for converting the sheriff’s captain’s post into an $80,000 salaried job. Historically it had been a wage job.

Albee said the change would make Meyers the second highest paid individual in the county.

“This is a failure of management,” said Albee. “There is no captain of any sheriff’s department anywhere in America who is worth that much money more than the sheriff’s getting paid.”

Sheriff Christopher Conley, who is paid about $60,000, disagreed with Albee’s assessment. In a phone interview, Conley said he wanted to change

the position to control overtime costs.

Meyers essentially has two jobs at the department — one is in law enforcement and the other is handling information technology. Conley said Albee seemed supportive of the change when he was on the commission. Meyers earned $79,500 last year when overtime is included. * Chandler objected when county farm supervisor Will DeWitte said the county would have to pay $8,200 for state-mandated water testing for the sewer system.”Fight them will, you?” said Chandler urging DeWitte not to put up with unfunded mandates.

“Either they pay for it or you don’t do it.” * Lawmakers decided they should discuss proposed equipment purchases for the jail in non-public session. Such a discussion held in public could broadcast security gaps. That non-public meeting was scheduled for Monday morning. The public session will begin after that. * Unemployment insurance went up 400 percent due to the bad economy.

The county’s total unemployment insurance cost went from $10,000 per year to $40,000, said finance manager Kathy Garry. * Corrections superintendent Jason Johnson and commission chair David Sorensen had a snappy response to Rep. Steve Schmidt (R-Wolfeboro) who balked at increasing the inmate program line item by about $22,000 to a total of $82,630. Sorensen explained that Carroll County has a recidivism rate of 45 percent. The county is trying to reduce it by giving inmates skills and education, such as cooking through a fl edgling culinary program.”If we don’t do any programing or give these people any type of education, they are going back to the communities in which you guys live and then because they have substance abuse (and mental health) problems they commit burglaries, robberies and every other crime they did to land in the facility,” said Johnson.

Stanley Raczelowski, 64, of Westford, Mass., was driving north on Route 31 when ice fell off the tractor-trailer that was driving the other direction.

“A very large piece of ice comes off that trailer, impacts the windshield of the car, comes through the windshield, and the driver sustained serious facial injury,” said Sgt. Paul Hunt.

Raczelowski was taken by medical helicopter to a hospital in Worcester with injuries including facial fractures, a broken jaw and broken nose.

Sheets of ice up to 3 feet long and 6 inches thick were found inside the

car, state police said.

The car traveled a short distance and appeared to hit a telephone pole on the Greenville line.

Police said they don’t know if the driver of the tractor-trailer knows what happened and they’re searching for the trucking company. They said Raczelowski believes the truck was gray or white.

A passerby told police he saw a tractor-trailer truck when he was crossing the Massachusetts border and ice was coming off the top.

“Ice impacts the car, and after that happens, you can hit the guardrail, you can hit another car,” Hunt said.

“These companies need to and must clear the ice off their trailers.”

Meet the candidates: three seeking Bartlett selectman’s seat Erik Corbett

Steven Iannuzzi

BARTLETT — Erik Corbett thinks Bartlett is a great place to live and he’d like to work to keep it that way — that’s why he’s decided to make his fi rst foray in the political arena. He’s one

BARTLETT — Steven Iannuzzi thinks it’s important to get involved in your community — that’s why he’s decided to seek a town office. He’s one of three candidates, along with Erik Corbett and David

of three candidates, along with Steve Iannuzzi and David A. Patch, running for a three-year seat on the board of selectmen.

Voting is this Tuesday at Bartlett Town Hall in Intervale from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The following is Corbett’s candidate profile: • Tell us a little about yourself. Any family?

“I grew up in Methuen, Mass. My parents, Don and Sue, have been there almost 28 years now. I have one brother, Tim, who lives in Manchester. I graduated from UMASS-Lowell in 2005 with a bachelors degree in business administration and moved to Bartlett that December for a job at Attitash.”

• What do you currently do for work?

“I headed up the adaptive sports program at Attitash and Wildcat where we taught ski and snowboard lessons to individuals with physical and/or developmental disabilities. In 2009 I saw a classified ad in the Sun for a retail business in Glen so I contacted the Realtor who was listed in the ad and talked to him, the business owner and a few other people around the valley and was able to take over the Good Tail Lobster Pound. I’ve been there since and pick up some part-time work in the fall and winter.”

• Have you served on any town committees in the past?

“No. In 2010 I was part of the MWV Leadership Program put on by the chamber of commerce and learned a bit about town government that way and decided to try and get involved this year.”

• How long have you been a resident of Bartlett?

“Five-plus years.”

• Why are you running?

“Having voted in the town elections last year and going to town meeting, I saw that there were many open spots on the ballot. I think Bartlett is a great place, it’s the longest I’ve stayed in one place besides Methuen, and I’d like to help keep it such a great place. Being self-employed, at least part of the year, gives me a fairly flexible schedule so I have the time to devote to the offi ce and I didn’t know of anyone else interested in the position so I decided that since I could do it I should do it.”

• What do you see as the role of a selectman?

“I see the role of a selectman as being part voice of the residents and part leader. The selectmen need to listen to the town residents, but there may be times when the selectmen have to make decisions that are in the best interests of the town but might not be very popular.”

• What should a selectman’s top three priorities be, in your opinion?

“I think the top three priorities should be public safety (police and fi re protection), the roads and land/business development.”

• What skills do you feel you bring to the position?

“I feel I can bring new ideas, energy and a new perspective to the board. I’ve managed a small nonprofit in the past where we did as much as possible with as little as possible, much like I think town government should.”

• What do you see as the biggest positive in Bartlett?

“The location. Being here in Mount Washington Valley lets our residents and visitors take part in many outdoor activities in both the summer and winter, which is great for local businesses. The loca-

A. Patch, running for a three-year seat on the board of selectmen.

Voting is this Tuesday at Bartlett Town Hall in Intervale from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The following is Iannuzzi’s candidate profile: • Tell us a little about yourself. Any family?

“I live in Glen with my family, Cherie, my son Andrew and my daughter Alexandra, who both attend the Josiah Bartlett School. I am a retired police officer of 12 years and hold a bachelors degree in criminal justice. I am a volunteer coach for the Bartlett Recreation Department.”

• What do you currently do for work?

“Presently I am co-owner of the White Mountain Cupcakery located in North Conway Village. This is a family-owned and operated business.

• Have you served on any town committees in the past?

“I have not but I have been involved in politics for many years. I also volunteer coach for the Bartlett Recreation Department.”

• How long have you been a resident of Bartlett?

“Since 2009.”

• Why are you running?

“I am seeking this position to be a voice for all the residents of Bartlett. And if elected I look forward to bringing a new and fresh approach. I look forward to working on the day-to-day issues of the community and fi nding solutions that work for everyone. I will always make educated decisions on everything I vote for, and am available to all ideas and suggestions from every resident in the town.”

• What do you see as the role of a selectman?

“The role of a selectman is a very critical part of the town. A selectman has to be unbiased and not have any personal agenda. He has to do what is in the best interest of the town and the citizens he is representing. Selectmen are the face of the community and have to always act in a professional manner and represent themselves that way.”

• What should a selectman’s top three priorities

see CORBETT page 19see

be, in your opinion?

“The taxpayer, the residents, and the community.”

• What skills do you feel you bring to the position?

“My many years in law enforcement have given me the tools to deal with a wide variety of issues and many different types of people and their problems and opinions. I have opened a business in one of the most diffi cult economic times our country has been faced with in many years. And I feel I have the knowledge from doing that and the fiscal responsibility that would help me maintain a sound budget without hurting the services the residents of Bartlett IANUZZI page 19

David A. Patch BARTLETT — David A, Patch believes it’s important to give back to your community — that’s why he’s taken the plunge into politics. He’s one of three candidates, along with Erik Corbett and Steve Iannuzzi, running for a three-year seat on the board of selectmen.

Voting is this Tuesday at Bartlett Town Hall in Intervale from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The following is Patch’s candidate profile: • Tell us a little about yourself. Any family?

“I started living in Bartlett in 1972 at age 3 when my dad got out of the Air Force. I attended kindergarten at the town hall, grades one through eight at Josiah Bartlett Elementary and graduated from Kennett High, Class of 1988. As far as family my parents, uncles and several cousins all live in Bartlett.”

• What do you currently do for work?

“I work for N.H. Electric Co-op As a working foreman. I’m in my 23rd year of employment here. I started right out of high school.”

• Have you served on any town committees in the past?

“No I have not.”

• How long have you been a resident of Bartlett?

“Thirty-eight years.”

• Why are you running?

“I felt it was time to give back to the community.”

• What do you see as the role of a selectman?

“To manage the town in a way that is consistent with the will of the voters and do what’s best for the town as a whole.”

• What should a selectman’s top three priorities be, in your opinion?

“The will of the voters, fi scal responsibility, and maintain a quality level of services.”

• What skills do you feel you bring to the position?

“Consistency, commitment and the simple knowledge that you can’t spend money that you don’t have — something that is lacking at the state and federal levels.”

• What do you see as the biggest positive in Bartlett?

“I’ve seen a lot of changes over the years here, but see PATCH page 19

tion also helps draw an interesting and unique mix of people here, both as new residents and visitors, that I enjoy interacting with.”

• Do you have any goals you’d like to see the town attain over the course of your term?

“I’d like to help change the image that Bartlett is unfriendly to business and reinvigorate the village.

Those things will probably take longer than three years, though.

“In the short term I’d like to open up town government a bit to hopefully get more residents involved.

I think we could start by working with Valley Vision to televise some of the selectmen’s meetings. Maybe not every meeting but if we know there is a lot of business before the board or a particularly important issue at hand we could invite a Valley Vision crew. I’d also like to establish an e-mail address for each selectman and have it posted on the town’s website so that its easier for residents to tell us how they feel about issues and to share ideas.”

• Any final thoughts?

“Like I said earlier, I think Bartlett is a great place and I’d like to work to keep it that way. But we can’t live in the past.

We have to continue progressing with the rest of the world. We’re now the second largest town in the valley, if not the entire county, and that means the town may need more staff in different departments or changes to some of the zoning ordinances among other things. But if we don’t change with the times I”m afraid the village will continue to shrink.”

have come to expect.”

• What do you see as the biggest positive in Bartlett: “The school, the residents. It’s a very family-oriented community. The town employees are the backbone of any town and do an amazing job and make it a wonderful place to live and raise a family.”

• Do you have any goals you’d like to see the town attain over the course of your term?

“I would like to see more of the residents get involved in either committees or boards or just volunteering with our young. Also I would like to see some updating of technology to make things easier and more cost-effective in the town. Many residents have shared that it is diffi cult to get up-to-date minutes of meetings, etc. Maybe trying to figure a way of

making all the meetings more accessible to the taxpayers and residents.”

• Any final thoughts?

“Although my family and I have only lived in Bartlett for a short time, we feel as if we have lived here forever and have made lifelong friends, and the community has been so welcoming, we intend to live here for a long time.

“I feel it is very important to get involved in the community. Volunteers are what make the valley what it is. Get out and get involved; you will feel great when you do. I ask that you consider me on March 8 for selectman. I promise to always put the community first and will guarantee accessibility and listen to all concerns as well as always having an unbiased view.

Please vote Steven Iannuzzi selectman the ballot.”

it still has that small-town feel. That is something I hope never changes.”

• Do you have any goals you’d like to see the town attain over the course of your term?

“I would like to see taxes stay low without affecting the quality services the town provides. I would like to see that small-town feel and attitude continue on.”

• Any final thoughts?

“I hope people get out and vote. It’s important for people to get involved. It’s your right and a privilege that our brave men and women in uniform have fought and died for so that we can still enjoy and practice our freedoms.”

STUDENT ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

Brianna Mann documents her world

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

‘Miracle Worker’ auditions Saturday and Sunday CONWAY — Arts in Motion is having auditions for William Gibson’s “The Miracle Worker,” directed by Barbara Spofford, at the Church of the Nativity in North Conway, next to the Gibson Center on Saturday, March 5 and Sunday March 6.

Auditions for women and girls ages 6-60 will be held on Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. Auditions for men and boys ages 8-60 (with callbacks for women, if necessary) will be held on Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m.

“The Miracle Worker” is the true story of Helen Keller, a blind and deaf girl who is unable to control her frustrations due to her inability to communicate. Her parents are contemplating sending Helen to an institution. As a last hope, they contact the Perkins Institute for the Blind and Annie Sullivan is sent to try and help.

Struggles ensue, as Annie tries to break through Helen’s wall of silence. The eventual triumph of “The Miracle Worker” has been an inspiration to audiences for more than 40 years.

For more information contact Barbara Spofford at 447-6733 or e-mail Arts in Motion at info@artsinmotiontheater.com.

The production is being produced with arrangements with Samuel French, Inc.

M&D Productions’ ‘Wizard of Oz’ opens March 10 CONWAY — On the heels of their successful run of “The Diary of Anne Frank,” M&D Productions is taking a 180 degree turn and offering a much lighter fare. Collaborating with the Mount Washington Valley’s Children Museum, they have once again created a complete community effort with “The Wizard of Oz” opening on March 10.

It is such a great opportunity for the children’s museum to work with M&D Productions said Shelly Morin, executive director of the Mount Washington Valley Children’s Museum. “I and my daughter are even in the show.”

The cast include Courtney Phelps, of North Conway, who will be playing Dorothy, who lives with her aunt Em played by Anna Mays, of Jackson, and Uncle Henry is Ed Distasio, of Stow, Maine.

Elmira Gulch/the Wicked Witch was cast totally off character with Shelly Morin, of Glen; the beautiful witch Glinda, will be played by Jessica Pappalardo, of Bartlett; the Scarecrow is played by Eric Jordan of Denmark, Maine; the Tin Man is played by Ged Owen, of Glen; the Cowardly Lion is played by Heather Lizzie, of Glen; and the Wizard of Oz is played by Ezra Timberlake-Alves of Conway. see OZ next page

Brianna Mann, a senior at Fryeburg Academy, recently made a short documentary about her aunt, who provides home care for the disabled. Mann, along with her mother, lives with and helps her aunt and so she is passionate about the subject matter and brings a more personal perspective to her film.

So, tell me a bit about what we just watched.

I made that documentary to kind of raise awareness about people who are disabled because people don’t seem to care about them much anymore. Some people do. It depends on if you spend time with them. I live with them, so I know how they feel.

Sometimes you can’t. They can’t verbalize how the feel. They can’t tell you that they want something to eat or they’re sick or don’t feel good, so people thinking, “Oh, they just deserve to be killed” or people just think they shouldn’t be around.

I’ve had people tell me that people who are disable don’t deserve to be in public and stuff like that. And I just think it is awful. I hope that it [the film] kind of works.

Have you shown it to many people?

My fi lm class has seen it many times. I showed it to a couple of the individuals’ parents and they loved it. They cried, so that must mean it was effective. It’ll be shown at the student film festival at the end of the year. Kind of nervous of the outcome.

Do you have any favorite documentaries?

The one that inspired this [fi lm]

was, I don’t remember what it was called, but it was about a home that cared for disabled people, but they were kind of abused, so I wanted to make sure that people know they are not abused in other homes.

Do you have interest in working in film?

Definitely. I have learned a lot from being in fi lm class. I have three or four fi lm classes here. I’ve gotten a lot better since I started off. I hope to make documentaries that kind of inspire people to give it a shot.

So, you prefer documentary filmmaking to narrative fi lmmaking?

Yes. It is also fun to make short movies. I don’t really make long ones like real movies. But [I make] documentaries and music videos and just PDA announcement sort of things.

When did you fi rst become interested in filmmaking?

The end of last year I took photo class, but Mr. Dana also gave me the opportunity to fool around with the computers and I got some fun little things that I made.

Do you have any favorite filmmakers or fi lms you are really into? Not necessarily documentary, just in general. see MANN next page

I don’t know, it is kind of funny, I really like horror movies, but I don’t want to make them. I’m kind of inspired by them, but I don’t want to do that.

What other projects are you working on?

Right now I am making a documentary about Sherman Farm just around the corner. My boyfriend works there and several friends, so I had the opportunity to interview them and take pictures around the farm. Hopefully it comes out well.

What kind of perspective are you going to have on it?

I have a friend that works inside working at the cash register and stacking vegetables and stuff like that, but my boyfriend works with the cows and barns and tractors outside, so I kind of get the inside scoop and the outside scoop.

Right, because a lot of people obviously see the people at the register, but don’t necessarily see everything that goes into it.

Exactly, trying to get people to know both sides of the story.

What are you hoping to do after high school?

I want to go to college for human resources to help the disabled really in any way and I also want to go to school for film, but I’m kind of torn between the two. I’d rather go to school for film, but human resources seems like what

lars worth of food to those in need in the project area in 2010.

The Pantry is open the third Thursday each month, 1 to 5 p.m at the Lions Building on Route 5/113 in Brownfield. Emergency food boxes are available anytime. Community support, both fi nancial and in volunteer service, is absolutely essential to the program. For more information, call (207) 935-2333.

Admission is by donation for the benefit concert and seating is limited.

For more information call Gale at 6253334. For those you can’t make it, but would like to donate to the pantry, checks, payable to SOCN, may be sent c/o Jack Mitchell, 52 Ridge Lane, Brownfield ME, 04010.

Wait till you see some of creative ways in which we handled the tornado, yellow brick road, fl ying monkeys and falling house.”

This show wouldn’t be complete without the numerous costumes specially created for this version.

Marion Owen, craft fully recreated every single character in this show.

This production is sponsored by Sandy and Joan Kurtz long time supporters of M&D Productions and it will be presented on two weekends starting March 10 and continuing on the 11, 12, 17, 18, and 19 at 7 p.m. and two matinees on Sunday, March 13 and 20 at 2 p.m.

All performances will be at Your Theatre and ticket prices are $15 for adults, $10 for students, seniors, and veterans and a family four-pack for $30. For more information, call the box office at 662-7591.

I should do first.

Are there any movies you are looking forward to seeing?

Not really. I’ve seen most of the ones that I want to see. There’s a documentary coming out about the Tamworth school, I think that is it, that took care of disabled people and that they used to do really do rancid things to them.

I’m interested to see how they put it into a documentary.

Do you feel like you are developing any kind of voice as a fi lmmaker in your documentaries?

Because obviously there’s this idea that documentary is 100 percent fact, but it is not because everyone has their own perspective.

It is defi nitely all about perspective because if our fi lm teacher Mr. Dana assigned the same assignment for everyone to have the same topic they’d all be so different. Everyone has their own opinion, so basically it is around opinions, so it depends. You can make a fake opinion and make the documentary on something true or not. It is kind of both ways.

I guess that’s really it, unless you have any thoughts on fi lmmaking and what your hopes are.

My hopes are to get a lot better at it.

People keep telling me I’m really good, but I hope to get better and be all that I can. It is defi nitely not as easy as it looks.

CONWAY — Que pasa?

Looking ahead to this weekend, regardless of the weather, it's going to be a chili day on Saturday — at least in North Conway Village.

That's because the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce is hosting its Cinco de Marzo events in the village that day from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For the eighth year of the hot, hot, hot event, the chamber is

spicing things up by hosting not one but two simultaneous chili cookoffs. see next page

The International Chili Societysanctioned chili cookoff is to be held at Decades and a non-sanctioned People’s Choice chili cookoff will be held at at the Eastern Slope Inn at Flatbread and the lobby near the New England Ski Museum's satellite exhibit, and at Rafferty's Pub. Buinesses will also be participating in the day's chili village stroll, including Joe Jones Sports and Ski, Wine Thyme, White Mountain Cupcakery, Bavarian Chocolate Haus and the Met, Spruce Hurricane, Zeb's, and Spruce Hurricane. Cranmore is hosting a Mexican-insired Cranapalooza later in the day.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $7 for children 12 and under.

Children 5 and under are free with a paid adult. Tickets may be pre-purchased by calling (800) 367-3364.

What's a Cinco de Marzo? Amazingly, according to our SpanishEnglish dictionary, it means ...

March 5. So, guess it's a good thing the chamber has lined up its Cinco de Marzo events for that day, eh?

Just kidding — and this from a Gringo who “no hablo espanol,” but who likes chili nonetheless.

••• CHOCOLATE WRAP: Last Sunday's 22nd annual Chocolate Festival was a sweet success for the non-profit Mount Washington Valley Ski Touring and Snowshoe Association, with Cort Hansen reporting more than 900 passes sold out on the snow-covered trails and participating member inns and businesses.

We stopped at four of the participating inns: the Stonehurst (chocolate fondue), the Riverside Bed and Breakfast Inn (chocolatedrizzled peppermint shortbread, chocolate truffle cookies and

more), the 1785 Inn (chocolatedipped pretzels) and the always entertaining Adventure Suites (in between looking into each of the imaginatively-themed rooms, visitors enjoyed treats from the Bavarian Chocolate Haus, cupcakes from the White Mountain Cupcakery and even chocolate wine from Vinter's Cellar Winery).

In more fund-raisers for the MWVSTA, the Flatbread Company hosted the center's annual auction and benefit dinner Thursday night.

••• CUPCAKE BATTLES: In other food news of the week, kudos to all participants in Valley Promotions' first Cupcake Battle, held at the Gibson Center Feb. 26.

Winner was Kathy Howe of North Conway (lemon dream cupcakes), followed by secondplace winners Jenny Ouelett, of Epping, and Annette Libby, of Madison, (a tie between Jenny's avocado cups with banana butter cream frosting and Annette's pink champagne cupcakes with butter cream frosting).

Jenny won $150 and a champion apron designed by local artist June McLeavey . Presenting the prizes was Miss Mount Washington Valley Teen Court member Andrea Potter.

••• HANNAH OFF TO THE RACES: Approximately 150 people turned out for the benefit at the Red Fox Bar and Grille in Jackson Wednesday night to support local Kennett High sophomore skiing sensation Hannah Benson , of Jackson.

Daughter of Emily and Peter Benson, of Jackson, Hannah will be traveling to Minnesota later this week as the New England Junior Olympic Team attempts to defend its two-year hold on the Alaska Cup, which is awarded to see next page

the nation's strongest regional team competing in the Junior National Championships.

The Jackson Ski Touring Foundation hosted the pizza party to celebrate Hannah's accomplishments. She is a two-time individual state champion in the classic and two-time state runner-up in skate skiing.

“We raised $3,000, which will be used to not only help Hannah but other local nordic athletes in the future,” said JSTF's Thom Perkins . “We already had some money in a fund, and would hope to add to it as necessary, and we would hope to do this again next year.”

In addition to Hannah, school teammate Sean Doherty will be going to the Biathlon Championships.

Keith Kantack and Kirsten Gill, both of Jackson, meanwhile, will be going to the NCAA cross country ski championships.

Rockpile in their sights Mount Washington will see its share of cross-country skiers underfoot in the coming days.

On Sunday, $1,400 in prize money is on the line during the Ski to the Clouds presented by Maxiglide up a portion of the Mount Washington Auto Road and on a section of Great Glen Trails.

Then on March 12 skiers take to the foothills of the mighty mountain in the New England Ski Museum's Bretton Woods Nordic Marathon at Omni Mount Washington Resort.

Both ski races have the same defending champ: Justin Freeman.

Freeman's the three-time defending champ in the grunt up the auto road and last year's winner in the marathon.

At 34, he's a teacher at the New Hampton School who happens to be a 2006 Olympian.

"Both races are a lot of fun and good challenges no matter what level of skier you are," he said.

The Ski to the Clouds features a 2,200 vertical foot climb up to about the halfway point (Top of Bottom) on the road, at about 3,800 feet.

It also includes the 18 percent section, the Raymond Grade.

Plus there are 4-kilometers on the GGT trail network. Racers warm up on that before hitting the big uphill.

"The field is really diverse," said Great Glen Trails spokesman Ryan Triffitt. "There is Justin Freeman the three-time defending champ and Olympian and people who are in a ski race for the first time."

There's room for 150 skiers, but 70 to 75 usually sign up, according to Triffitt. The race is freestyle, meaning racers can skate-ski or classically-

C

Skiing –––––

Marty Basch ski the course. Local registered racers include Steve and Meredith Piotrow of Jackson (like Freeman, Steve's doing both races). Meredith was the 40-plus female winner in 2008 and 2010. There are a handful of University of New Hampshire skiers too.

Skiing up Mount Washington is still a hazy concept for many cross-country skiers. Though the mountain routinely sees its share of runners and cyclists during the summer, there isn't a following that wants to charge up the road for bragging rights. Organizers are trying to grow the race and align skiing into the mystique of rockpile challenges.

Trail runners and bicyclists have regional hillclimb series, but not skiers. There are ski marathon series, but not hillclimb. Then again, there really isn't a ski race like the one up the mountain either.

The Bretton Woods Nordic Marathon has both timed and touring options for skiers traveling 50K and 25K. It began in 2009 as a fundraiser for the New England Ski Museum.

"Most people opt to be timed, and the field is divided pretty evenly between the two distances," said race co-organizer Ellen Chandler, herself a masters competitor.

The race attracts an A to Z of skiers from Olympians to casual recreational skiers. So far, there are skiers ranging in age from 11 to 75. In addition, there is a free children's race.

Olympians won last year: Justin Freeman and Dorcas (Denhartog) Wonsavage. Other

O U SE

Olympians in last year's race included Charles Kellogg and Leslie (Bancroft) Krichko, also and Olympic Coach for both the U.S. and Canadian National teams Marty Hall.

The marathon will see several locals too, many affiliated with the Mount Washington Nordic Club.

Among those registered for the 25K circuit are Doug and Candy Armstrong and Sally Swenson (along with son Peter who is skiing 50K and is an integral part of the growing ski mountaineering race movement in the country).

On the 50K side, other registered club members include Fred Allen, Ken Kimball, Sally Brassil, Odd-aage Bersvendsen, David Freedman, Ron Goodwin, Jim Graham and Phil Lawson.

Jackson Ski Touring Foundation is timing the race while Phil Gravink of Jackson has been working behind the scenes as volunteer race director.

"We call it a classic classic," said Chandler. "A classic kick and glide marathon at one of New England's longest standing cross country ski centers, the historic Omni Mount Washington Resort. " The race has been growing, attracting some 160 the first year, around 180 the next.

The field is limited to 300 and cracking 220 and above is possible.

"The start and finish is very scenic between the hotel and Mount Washington," said Chandler. "The trails at the base of Mount Washington are challenging enough for a good skier but not intimidating to others. The course is double tracked throughout. The are some nice long downhills that people enjoy."

Green Mountain Conservation Group receives grant to start youth coalition EFFINGHAM — Green Mountain Conservation Group (GMCG) has been awarded a $15,000 Community Impact Grant by the Lakes Region Fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation (NHCF) to establish the Youth Coalition for Clean Water.

This grant has allowed the group to hire a coordinator for the programs and projects of the youth coalition, to engage students from the Ossipee Watershed in stewardship of the region’s shared water resources through water quality research, service learning projects, and public outreach efforts.

The N.H. Charitable Foundation provided support for Green Mountain Conservation Group’s education efforts in 2010 by partially funding the Ossipee Watershed Workbook, a collection of watershed specific lessons and activities that are correlated to state standards. Local schools and teachers were presented with the workbook this winter and are making use of

various chapters in the classroom this spring. Activities provided to educators in the Ossipee Watershed Workbook engage students in youth coalition service-learning opportunities for students to improve to their environment and give back to the community.

Green Mountain Conservation Group’s Water Quality Monitoring Program Coordinator Elena Piekut, describes the coalition as “an excellent way for kids to learn by engaging with the place where they’re growing up. Testing your own well water makes chemistry relevant. Planting a rain garden reinforces the concept that human land use can easily affect that chemistry.” She said, “We’ll be doing a number of very hands-on, place-based projects this year, and they all focus on this place where we live and the one resource that makes this place so unique in the world: water.”

In March, four elementary school classrooms, a secondary school sci-

Tamworth Town Column

ence class, and two after-school groups, serving over 120 students, will participate in the first of these activities through the youth coalition. Activities include the Trout in the Classroom program in Sandwich and Moultonborough, the University of Maine’s GET WET! (Groundwater Education Through Water Evaluation and Testing) program in Ossipee, Effi ngham, Madison, and Tamworth, and upcoming service learning projects in Ossipee and Tamworth.

Students of all ages are invited to become involved with the youth coalition for Clean Water. High school students can apply for spring, summer, or fall internships to assist with these programs and mentor younger students. An application can be retrieved at gmcg.org or sent by request. Digital copies of the Ossipee Watershed Workbook are also available by request. For more information, or to sign up, contact Elena at gmcgnh-wqm@ roadrunner.com or 539-1859.

Mardi Gras celebration March 4 Last Saturday, Runnells Hall was the venue for the Chocorua Public Library’s winter celebration, a popular fundraiser. This year’s theme was “favorite literary characters” and several guests arrived appropriately attired, notably librarian Marion Posner and assistant librarian Myles Grinstead

Bartlett Town Column

who dressed as the characters from the acclaimed film “Julie and Julia" complete with clanking pots and pans. Betty Schneider was an “Andrews sister” posing as a cigarette girl. The “cigarettes” were in fact 50/50 lottery tickets. Several others portrayed a variety of characters from the silver screen. The

fun began with an amazing array of food items catered by Sarah Wright. In the adjacent library items for both the live and silent auctions were displayed. They included many gift certifi cates from local merchants. Tables and see TAMWORTH page 27

‘New Hampshire’s Wild History’ program March 8 OK, enough with the snow. It is almost time for spring to begin and I can hardly see out my front window. There is no room in my yard for any more snow. It is time to see the Robins bobbing around on the grass, isn’t it? I did see a red squirrel this morning, which gave me a little hope that spring is coming soon.

I hope everyone has a great week.

The Friends of the Bartlett Public Library will host a book discussion about the book, "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" by Muriel Barbery on Tuesday, March 8, at 7 p.m. at the Bartlett Public Library. All are welcome.

Refreshments will be served.

Some tickets still remain for the Boston Flower Show. Jackson, Bartlett, and Madison residents $45 each, other surrounding areas $50 each. There are two convenient pickups, Story Land in Glen at 6:30 a.m. and the Madison Church at 7:15 a.m. We will make a stop on the return at the Weathervane Restaurant in Kittery. Come and join us for some games, raffl es, free giveaways, a whole lot of fun, and surprises. Call Bartlett Recreation at 374-1952 for more information.

The annual town games will be on Friday, March 11, beginning at 5:30 p.m.. This is a great chance to come out and watch the three/four, fi ve/six and seven/eight basketball teams. There will be a surprise half-time show and each spectator will receive a raffl e ticket

upon entry. The entry fee is $2 and the proceeds will benefit the American Heart Association.

It is unfortunate that the Bartlett Recreation will not be hosting the mother-daughter social tea in 2011.

The event will however return on May 6, 2012. The colors will be blue and white and it will be hosted at the Attitash Grand Summit Ballroom. Plans have already begun. Save the date.

Throughout time wildlife habitat and populations have been affected by changes in the land. On Tuesday, March 8, at 7 p.m., Wendy Scribner, Carroll County Forest Resources Educator for the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension will present "New Hampshire’s Wild History - 350 Years of New Hampshire Wildlife.” Wendy will take everyone on a virtual journey through New Hampshire’s past where they can learn why changes in habitat in our past are behind the decline of many of our rarest species today, and why others are more abundant than in the past.

This event is a part of the Conway Historical Society’s free monthly program series. Programs are held at the Salyards Center for the Arts, at 100 Main Street in Conway Village, next door to the Brown Church. Use the downstairs entrance in the rear of the building.

Refreshments will be served. For more information you can call UNH Cooperative Extension at 447-3834.

walls in Runnells Hall were adorned with decorations evoking movies. Sarah Wright catered a sumptuous buffet and there was plenty of wine. George Cleveland conducted the auction with assistant Jenn Mashiak. This was a delightful evening and I would like to thank everyone who helped in any way.

Thanks to the staff of Chequers for hosting the event and to everyone who helped in any way.

Candidates’ night took place on Tuesday at the Brett School, having been postponed from the previous evening owing to inclement weather. Moderator Chris Canfi eld deftly fi elded questions to the candidates, giving each every opportunity to outline their positions on various pertinent issues and portray themselves in a favorable light for the voters, outlining their educational backgrounds and accomplishments. Nicole Maher Whiteside, who has served on the planning board for three years, mentioned the challenges of learning the RSA’s. She spoke about her great love for Tamworth and the fact that she was not a native but had chosen to live here. Selectman candidate Kent Jardine spoke about his extensive travels and his eclectic abilities which include being an electrician, a plumber, well installer, a pilot and a Kung Fu instructor. Sandra Flanigan (selectman candidat) said she wants to make changes and her experience includes financial planning, real estate and conservation.

School Board candidate Marie La Brie is a Brett parent with a double degree in law and psychology. Incumbent school board candidate Dan Rowe who has an impressive array of accomplishments and long career in finance conveyed that our high taxes reflect decreasing school enrollment and increasing expenditure and a per student cost of a stunning $19,000, making KA Brett the most expensive in the state. Jack Waldron, school board candidate, has been involved in environmental issues and health and wellness and most recently in a composting project. School board candidates discussed the overwhelming cost of salaries and benefi ts. Ideas by road agents candidates included using less salt and patching roads. All the candidates spoke with great respect and love for our community. I would like to thank all the candidates for coming out before the townspeople and being willing to serve our town and in addition Chocorua Village Association’s John Wheeler who organized the event.

Today’s Highlights in History: On March 4, 1861, Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as the 16th president of the United States. The U.S. Government Printing Office began operation. The Confederate States of America adopted as its flag the original version of the Stars and Bars (not to be confused with the more familiar Confederate Battle Flag).

On this date: In 1789, the Constitution of the United States went into effect as the first Federal Congress met in New York. (The lawmakers then adjourned for lack of a quorum.)

In 1791, Vermont became the 14th state.

In 1811, the first Bank of the United States ceased operations as its charter expired.

In 1858, Sen. James Henry Hammond of South Carolina declared “Cotton is king” in a speech to the U.S. Senate.

In 1908, a fire at Lake View School in Collinwood, Ohio, claimed the lives of 172 children and three adults.

In 1930, Coolidge Dam in Arizona was dedicated by its namesake, former President Calvin Coolidge.

In 1940, Kings Canyon National Park in California was established.

In 1960, an explosives-laden French freighter, La Coubre, exploded in Havana’s harbor, killing at least 75 people.

In 1977, some 1,500 people were killed in an earthquake that shook southern and eastern Europe.

In 1981, a jury in Salt Lake City convicted Joseph Paul Franklin, an avowed racist, of violating the civil rights of two black men who’d been shot to death.

One year ago: A Hollister, Calif., man with a history of severe psychiatric problems opened fire at a Pentagon security checkpoint; John Patrick Bedell, 36, wounded two police officers before being killed by police.

CHARITY FUNDRAISERS MAY BE WALKING AWAY WITH DONATIONS

DEAR ABBY: For several years, a group of ladies at work have held fundraisers so they could participate in cancer charity walks. We have all donated willingly, but someone recently pointed out something disturbing.

Every year, this group travels to a different location for the walk, using the funds they have raised for the charity. There is a walk within driving distance. The funds they raise could be donated to the cause instead of spent on fl ights, hotels, meals, etc. One of them commented that they “might as well get something out of it.”

Are we wrong to feel this is not a good thing? Someone said we’re paying for their vacation. At this point we are confused about the whole mess. Any comments? -- BAFFLED IN NEW ENGLAND DEAR BAFFLED: You’re not wrong. Any monies raised the way these “ladies” have done should have been donated to cancer research. The comment your co-worker made to you was revealing. What you have described sounds like fraud.

What those women should have “gotten out of it” was the satisfaction of knowing they were doing something for a worthy cause. This would not include treating themselves to a group vacation. If you continue to support this effort, the check(s) should be made payable to the charity.

DEAR ABBY: Are there any rules of etiquette involving unwanted guests at funerals? While I have many loved ones and friends, I have also made a few enemies in my life. I have made clear to my husband that I do not want “certain people” to be allowed to attend my funeral when I die.

I have always found it distasteful when folks show up at funerals for someone they disliked or didn’t know well. It ru-

ins it for those who really did love the deceased. I do not want my enemies trying to make themselves feel better by showing up and pretending they cared.

My husband is against the idea. I made him promise that he’d do this for me because, even though I’ll be dead and may not care then, I do care very much now.

P.S. My husband wants to know how one would keep people away from a funeral in the fi rst place. -- PLANNIN’ AHEAD IN SODDY-DAISY, TENN. DEAR PLANNIN’: Let’s hold a good thought that you’ll be around for a long, long time and outlive your enemies.

However, if that doesn’t happen, a way to ensure that only those you want to attend your funeral will be there is to make it “invitation only.” And when your death is announced in the newspaper, it should be stated that the service will be private.

DEAR ABBY: I have been seeing the same gynecologist for eight years. I trust her with my health and my privacy. She recently moved to a new practice and I would like to follow her. My problem is the wife of one of my co-workers is an employee in the new office, and I’m worried that patient confidentiality may not extend to “pillow talk.” How do I handle this delicate situation? -- VALUES MY PRIVACY IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR VALUES: Handle it by having a frank talk with your gynecologist, explaining that one of your co-workers is married to an employee in the new office, and asking her how she plans to guarantee your privacy. Explain that you would like to remain her patient, but that this has raised a red fl ag for you.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

FRYEBURG — The Fryeburg Academy boys basketball team wrapped up the season that could have been recently and held its end of the season dinner Tuesday night at Merlino’s.

The Raiders lost to Lake Region, 67-60, and the York Wildcats both on the road.

Against Lake Region, Coach Sedge Saunders started his Raiders out in a 2-3 defense. He believed the Raiders could get to the Laker perimeter shooters out of this defense in the same manner that they did against Poland’s outside game the week before.

However, the Lakers found gaps in the zone and got off to a good start shooting the ball. Lake Region hit 11 three-pointers on the night, and this was the primary cause of Fryeburg’s downfall in this rivalry match.

The Raiders switched to a man-to-man defense in the second quarter in an attempt to cool down the Lakers, but Lake Region had confi dence at this point.

Hot Laker shooting, Raider turnovers, and 6’7” center Florian Forsting picking up three quick fouls hurt FA in the second quarter. The Raiders matched the Laker scoring in the first quarter, but went cold in the second quarter and entered the locker room behind 39-22.

Trailing by 17 at the beginning of the second half, Saunders told his team it just needed to get the margin under 10 points by the end of the quarter and they would be fi ne. The Raiders had the margin to four points within minutes as they started to hit from the three-point line. Mike Costa hit a couple of threes and Bright Amoako, along with pushing the ball and providing energy for the Raider offense, also hit two threes.

The Raiders reduced the Laker lead to eight, but

then could not sustain their momentum. The Lakers responded immediately and rebuilt their lead to 16 before the end of the quarter.

Entering the fourth quarter down 54-38, the Raiders made another comeback as they once again whittled away at the Laker lead. The Raiders managed to cut the defi cit to four points with 30 seconds left when Tyler Saunders hit a three. The Raiders had opportunities to cut the lead further, but the Lakers fi nished with a run for the final seven-point margin.

Although he didn’t like the outcome, Saunders acknowledge that the Raiders battled. “We really battled back twice.”

Bright Amoako scored 17 points and Colby Locke had 15 for the Raiders in the loss.

The Raiders stayed with the third ranked York Wildcats well into the third quarter, but they slid out of contention late in the third and fourth quarter.

Trailing 44-39 in the third, the Raiders were outscored 31-16 the rest of the way in the 75-50 loss.

Costa, finding his long-range touch at the end of the year, hit four three-pointers for 12 points to lead the Raiders. Forsting and Locke each added 10 points as well in the loss.

Fryeburg finished this season 3-15, the season that could have been.

Saunders still feels this team, when healthy, could have played with the top squads in Western Maine Class B. Unfortunately, the Raiders were never healthy. Injuries hurt this club, and could not get their offense going until late in the year.

Most importantly, Saunders speaks highly of this team’s character. “We have a bunch of great guys. They work hard, they do well in school and they are good citizens.”

Athlete/parent track meeting is Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.
