Bartlett voters to decide on school budget, teachers' contract tonight BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

BARTLETT — The budget and nine other warrant articles, including a new two-year teachers' contract, will be decided at the annual Bartlett School Meeting Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in the gymnasium at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School.

Annual school meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. at elementary school If the budget and warrant articles are approved, taxpayers will see an increase in their tax bills of 22 cents per $1,000 of property valuation. The Bartlett School Board is proposing a budget for 2012-13 that is down 2.08 per-

cent over last year, excluding the nine other warrant articles. The proposed budget is $7,872,001, which is down $165,270 over this past year. School superintendent Carl see BARTLETT page 10

A sparse crowd turned out to the deliberative portion of Conway’s annual school meeting Monday night at Kennett High, and there was little fanfare as the proposed operating budget (excluding special articles) of $31,901,212 was adopted. If the budget is rejected next month at the polls, the default budget would kick in at $31,855,122. See Wednesday’s paper for a school meeting roundup. The deliberative portion of annual town meeting will be Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Kennett. (JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTO)

Gun range: Vegas style LAS VEGAS (NY Times) — For Vegas die-hards bored with the $750 tasting menu at Guy Savoy, the $250 Elton John tickets at Caesars or the $200,000 single-hand baccarat bet at the Bellagio, this city is serving up a new way to find highpriced thrills. Machine Guns Vegas — an upscale, indoor shooting range complete with skimpily dressed, gun-toting hostesses — opened last week a half mile from the Strip, with an armory of weapons and a promise to fulfill the desires of anyone wanting to fire off an Uzi or a vintage Thompson submachine gun. With its provocative mix of violent fantasy (think blowing holes through an Osama bin Laden target with an AK-47) and sexual allure, it is the latest example of how the extravagances and excesses that have defined Las Vegas are moving beyond the gaming table. “O.K., the Uzi is down right now — sorry!” Melissa Krause, a hostess dressed head to toe in a skin-tight black outfit, with a fake pistol attached to her hip and black boots, told a father and son who had driven three hours from Victorville, Calif. “Is there something else you wanted to choose?” No matter. Before long, the son, Chris Neveu, 20, was standing between two range masters, a man and a woman, feet planted to the ground, eyes protected by goggles and ears by headphones. Hot shells clattered around his feet as his father, Paul, took pictures.

Obama Cites ‘window’ for Syria permits diplomacy on Iran bomb U.N. visit WASHINGTON (NY Times) — With Israel warning that it may mount a military strike against Iran, President Obama welcomed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday to the White House, but signaled that he would press for more time for a campaign of economic sanctions to work on Tehran. Appearing with Netanyahu in the Oval Ofﬁ ce before their

meeting, Obama declared that “the United States will always have Israel’s back.” He reiterated that the United States would prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, but he added, “We do believe there is still a window that allows for a diplomatic resolution to this issue.” Netanyahu, sitting next to the president, declared that “Israel must have the

ability to defend itself, by itself, against any threat.” He thanked Obama for afﬁ rming, in a speech to a pro-Israel lobbying group on Sunday, that, as Netanyahu put it, “Israel has the sovereign right to make its own decisions.” Israeli ofﬁ cials interpreted this to mean that the United States would not try to block a preemptive Israeli strike.

Putin faces challenges to legitimacy MOSCOW (NY Times) — A day after claiming an overwhelming victory in Russia’s presidential elections, Vladimir V. Putin on Monday faced a range of challenges to his legitimacy, including charges of fraud from international observers and a defi ant opposition that vowed to keep him from serving his full six-year term. While Putin was still celebrating his victory, he received a slap in the face from observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. While finding less of the ballot stuffi ng and

other flagrant violations that marred parliamentary elections in November, the observers said Putin had faced no real competition and unfairly benefi ted from lavish government spending on his behalf. Putin received milder responses from the European Union and from the United States. The White House did not comment, and the State Department put out a written statement congratulating the Russian people and saying the United States “looks forward to working with the President-elect after the results are certified and he is sworn in.”

(NY Times) — Syria’s government made diplomatic gestures on Monday toward seeking an end to the uprising that has convulsed the country, agreeing for the fi rst time to allow visits by the top United Nations relief offi cial and by the newly designated envoy who represents both the United Nations and Arab League. But activists said that Syrian security forces did not let up in their ferocious campaign to crush opposition in the most restive areas. Activists said the Syrian armed forces sent troops into Dara’a, the southern town where the protests began a year ago, and that artillery units bombarded the town of Rastan in central Syria, not far from Homs, an epicenter of the uprising that has been devastated by more than month of shelling and gunfire. The Syrian diplomatic gestures came as new reports emerged of Syrian civilians fl eeing into neighboring Lebanon to escape the stepped-up military action. The United Nations refugee agency said that 2,000 Syrian refugees had crossed the border into Lebanon since the weekend.

Conway man arrested for allegedly growing marijuana at his home

Petitioned articles to change budget committee are legal, but not clear cut BY ERIK EISELE

BY ERIK EISELE

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Police have arrested a local man for allegedly running a marijuana growing operation on the Kancamagus Highway. Thomas Heath, 21, of Conway, was arrested Monday after a search of his residence found 20 marijuana plants, growing Thomas Heath supplies and a loaded firearm, according to a police statement. He is being charged with two felonies: manufacturing a controlled drug and possession of a controlled drug. If found guilty he could face up to seven years in jail and $100,000 in fines for each charge. The search, which was authorized by the court, was of Heath’s residence at 148 Kancamagus Highway in Conway. “Investigators had received a tip that a marijuana hydroponic grow was being attended to in the residence,” the police statement said. The Conway Police Department was assisted by State Police and the Drug Task Force. Heath is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday for the fi rst reading of the charges against him.

CONWAY — The warrant articles looking to radically change the budget committee do have some problems, the town attorney told the selectmen on Tuesday, but they should still be legal. Attorney Peter Malia had previously said he believed the petitioned articles were legal, but at the time he said he needed to do more investigating. “I talked it over with the staff attorney at the Local Government Center,” Malia said, and though some outcomes could lead to legal limbo, “I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.” A memo Malia sent the town lays out the challenges, ﬁrst of which is the number of members the budget committee should have. “Article 35 seeks to create an advisory budget committee which shall consist of six members at large,” the memo says. “However, the town charter requires that the Conway budget committee consist of 12 members at large.”

Gas-proof heater on order for county sewer system OSSIPEE — A cold snap could cause the county's sewer system to freeze because an important heater broke recently and cannot be replaced for weeks, the county farm manager told county commissioners at a meeting on Feb. 22. County farm manager Will DeWitte said the heater in a county sewer building failed during the week of Feb. 13. The county paid some extra money to have the new heater built in two or three days but the electrician, who ordered the new heater, says it will actually take close to two or three weeks for lack of parts.

The solution, Malia said, is to amend the article at the deliberative meeting to make it consistent with the charter. If the article and the charter don't line up, he said, the selectmen will have to decide after the vote how to address the problem, either with a charter amendment, by going to court, or by declaring the article invalid. The selectmen would be in a similar position if the fi rst article, which asks voters to rescind the budget committee, passes, but the second article, which would enact the advisory committee, fails. “Again, the selectmen could declare both votes to be null and void and keep the existing offi cial budget committee, seek to amend the town charter, or petition the Superior Court to determine the validity of the articles,” the memo says. And even if both articles pass, the memo says, the budget committee will not legally change from offi cial to advisory until the 2013 town meeting. The committee members themselves, however, could choose to conduct business in an advisory capacity prior to then.

"Hopefully we'll ride the wave of warmer weather,"said DeWitte. The heater is part of the system that handles the sewage for the county complex, which includes a nursing home, jail and administration building. A deep freeze could cause all the parts to break and the system to shut down. The state could ﬁ ne the county for not dealing with sewage properly, said DeWitte. The heater is estimated to cost $7,500 to $8,000. Since see HEATER page 5

One driver ejected in road-rage crash MERRIMACK — The Everett Turnpike was shut down in both directions Monday after a rollover crash that began with road rage, according to state police. Capt. John LeLacheur said the altercation between drivers started at the Bedford tolls and continued into Merrimack on the southbound side. “Witnesses say that they were both going back and forth, and we know that as they got down here into Merrimack there was a collision between the two vehicles,” he said. One of the vehicles ended up in the median and the other ﬂ ipped over on the right side of the road just north of exit 11. LeLacheur said he’s not sure what prompted the altercation. One driver was apparently ejected from a vehicle, and that person was taken by medical helicopter to a Boston hospital. The driver’s condition was not released. — WMUR

"This is a special heater that won't explode under the gaseous conditions," said commission chairman David Sorensen. DeWitte conﬁrmed it's a gas-proof electric heater. It needs to be gas proof because it's in a building with raw sewage. The heater failed last year and farm staff were able to "hot wire" it. Still, last year there was some down time because a couple thousand dollars worth of parts froze up. "We budgeted to replace it this year but our time wore out before we got the budget process done," said DeWitte.

Attend the meeting, prepared to challenge To the editor: Let’s take a typical local business, a restaurant whose staff got together and selected a single food and supply vendor to be the sole source of materials for the business. They would be the only supplier and they would know that they would get all of their business regardless of service, delivery and price. This would be totally unworkable and the business would shortly fail. It could not meet the needs and demands of its customer’s in competition with the rest of the restaurants up and down the block. It is even more counter intuitive that our smartest most professional group, the teaching staff at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School be represented by the thugs [term of endearment by Bill Bennett former Secretary of Education under President Reagan] from the National Education Association. The local administration in the interest of making their life as simple as possible has chosen to mimic this contract throughout the school that we manage. In an absolutely stagnant economy the taxpayers with no such gains are being asked to support an outrageous increase for everyone. Where is the 5 percent gain in testing scores? The NEA’s monopolistic contract, representing the teachers in the Bartlett school system has resulted in the taxpaying owners of the school being asked to pay a raise, negotiated some time ago, that is not reasonable at this time in this economy. The administrators have the contract terms to fall back on and give them an excuse to do nothing to control these costs. Unions today are much more prevalent in government entities than in the private sector. It is quite reasonable to have regular increases for everyone and it happens all too

regularly in the benefi ts and pay structures of most public employees because they exercise their labor monopoly power, euphemistically called a labor union, the NEA. The one world competition in the private sector has meant that those paying the bill are not seeing pay and benefi t increases anywhere close to those being claimed by the public sector. This has asteam rolling effect for the owning taxpaying public that is amplifi ed by the administrator’s practice of maintaining a high level of overstaffing. The administration is never forced to make the critical staffi ng decisions that the private sector has repeatedly faced. Taxpayers do not typically turn-out for the school district meeting in Bartlett to question the lack of critical judgment by the board and the administration. The administration is never forced to make the critical decisions that the private sector has been forced to make for years. Taxpayers must turn-out for the school district meeting in Bartlett to question the lack of critical fi scal judgment by the board and administration. The attendee’s are usually the school staff [watching carefully to see just who votes and how] and a limited number of parents [who understand clearly how they should vote]. The vast majority of taxpaying voters do not attend. They only groan and say “why bother?” Bothering will get you a better, more directed, responsive school we can afford and earn our pride.

Vote no on Bartlett school budget at the annual meeting March 6 To the editor: Many of you may not realize that there is an important school budget meeting and vote on Tuesday, March 6, at 6:30 p.m. at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School. I call out to you to attend this meeting and vote your pocketbook and conscience for our out-of-control spending by the school board. As a town resident and former part-time teacher I am outraged at the budget situation. every year we hear the same thing. The expenses are huge and there is nowhere to cut. Is that really true? Did you examine your property tax bill for this year? Did you notice that the tax portion for school-related is rocketing upwards, and that your property values have dropped signiﬁ cantly? Well, take a closer look, it’s true! In a recent article in The Conway Daily Sun regarding the budget, I learned that we have 32 full-time teachers and only 244 students. That is one teacher for 7.6 students. And that does not

include highly qualiﬁed classroom teaching assistants at each grade level. When has the ratio ever been that low? Do our children really need that much attention and supervision? We, as a community, cannot afford to continue to support this crazy situation. We don’t need this many teachers! And believe me, I am all for teachers but not overdoing it in Bartlett! Did you get a chance to examine the annual report for Bartlett School District this year? Check out the teaching staff salaries on page 2. If you do the math like I did for any random looping grade, you will ﬁnd that the cost of educating our students is just too high! There are too many teachers and not enough students to support them. Please, let’s get a grip on the school budget and make some sensible decisions about our future. Get out there and vote! Wendell Shaffer Glen

Tele-Talk

Do you support the proposed raises for Bartlett teachers? There were 59 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question: Do you support the proposed raises for Bartlett teachers? Thirty-six people said they support raises for Bartlett teachers, many citing the teachers’ education, years of experience and dedication to their job, and reasoning that they do a good job and that the results are evident in students coming out of Bartlett Elementary School. Twenty-one people said they do not support raises for Bartlett teachers at this time. Many of them cited concerns about the economy, a low student-teacher ratio, and comparisons with other salaries in the valley. Due to space limitations we cannot print all of the responses here. A complete list of responses will be available on the website. No, I don’t support the raises for the Bartlett teachers at this time given the lousy economy and so many people really hurting right now, this isn’t a good time. I don’t deny that Bartlett is a good school. However, I would think the selfish teachers would do the right thing and forego raises this year. Many people in Bartlett with two people working don’t make $60,000 and have no benefi ts to boot. Come on teachers, do you really care about your community? You are greedy. This is David from Bartlett. I defi nitely do not support the raises for the Bartlett teachers. In a time of fiscal austerity, they need to suck it up and understand that the people of Bartlett cannot afford this kind of money. It’s small wonder the teachers aren’t leaving. Why would they? They’re making $70,000 and $80,000 a year on top of benefi ts. I’m surprised more people don’t want to teach school here. And the 7.3 teacher/ pupil ratio is ridiculous. I’m defi nitely not going to vote for this raise. This is Ray Baily from Bartlett and I was reading the Tele-Talk about the teachers’ increase and I think it’s absolutely ridiculous along with the $1,000 that’s $3,700 — that’s more than half of what people receive on Social Security. So I’m sorry but this world isn’t ready for that. No, I do not support it. Why did the student population go down and the budget keeps going up? Too many teachers. You have a one teacher to 7.6 students. Bartlett needs to vote this down. Show up and vote. News fl ash: Why do the two school board members that negotiated the teacher contract with the union have spouses in the Bartlett School system? Is that a confl ict? The teachers are fine; there are just too many of them. At this time when our property value went down and the taxes are going up because of the school, everyone needs to pay their fair share. Just wait for some former student to stand up and say how much they loved the school. I’m sure they did; that’s fine. But realize we’re paying $20,000 almost per student for kids to go there. We could send them to Fryeburg or Philips Exeter Academy. And what we need is a ballot vote from the floor so that people don’t scream from the stands who aren’t Bartlett residents to vote in a contract. We’re parents of a child in the Bartlett School and this week we got our weekly newsletter saying come out and support our school. Well of course we support our school. I’m not sure we support teachers getting that kind of money

with zero deductible health insurance. They work 185 days a year and there’s probably too many of them in the school. I think the teachers do a great job, but no. What needs to happen is to defund the budget, get rid of the school board, get rid of every thing, start fresh, hire half the teachers and then charge Jackson for all the stuff because they’re the ones that wouldn’t let us have a coop to go into Kennett High School. They voted that down, we didn’t. Charge them more money; they’re getting too good of a deal. Having been a resident and native of this area for a long time, especially Bartlett, I hope the teachers enjoy their glorious raise, $2,700 they got the last two years, the $2,700 they’re going to get the next two years, plus the incentive raises on top of that and the nodeductible medical. I have to live on Social Security on just their raise in the last four years, which is just about $10,000 not counting what’s been taken out for Medicare. And then to top it off with our illustrious selectman Mr. Chandler having not reappraised the town for what 12, 14, 15 years? We get that tax bill on top of the raise. So that makes it look really nice. Teachers are getting whatever percentage raise. I roughly ﬁgure I’m losing about 18 to 20 percent of money and on top of that got to live that less. That means cut back on the heat, reduce my supplemental insurance and everything else. I think it’s about time the teachers gave in a little bit because they only work a 180 days a year. Not bad for a half a year. The Conway Daily Sun’s motto is seeking the truth and printing it. But it appears they only go for the convenient truth, not the inconvenient truth the reporter who’s been covering the teachers’ contracts failed to report — that he lives in Bartlett and his tax rate will be affected by the result and he failed to report that his wife works for the town of Bartlett and is supported 100 percent by taxpayer dollars. His wife earns more than at least 13 of the teachers at the school, with her health insurance covered by the taxpayers at 100 percent, where the teachers pay 20 percent out of pocket. His wife does receive annual raises and the belief is that town employees will be getting annual raises this year also. It’s nice that the school district meeting is before the town meeting this year because the taxpayers may decide not to give the teachers their raises and hopefully they will be fair and not give the other town employees raises. I think it’s been very biased reporting. He makes some really good points but it’s easier to take those points when the reporting isn’t so biased. Please seek the truth and print it but not just the truth convenient to your reporter. I believe the teachers deserve this amount of money or even more. If you drive through the school’s parking lot you’ll notice that most of the teachers cars are one to two or even three years old. Those vehicles are unsafe at that age and I’m sure they must have at least $10,000 miles on them. I want teachers to be driving in safe vehicles. No, no, no raises for Bartlett teachers. How much longer must we be affected by Bensonitis — Bensonitis is the nonsustainable increase in spending. It is spending more for less product (stu-

dents). The teachers are paid well enough and seem inured to the additions that businesses and private employees must tolerate. Voci defends the increases: dedicated people, top of the game, long term commitment, recognize a job well done. Well, I worked 35 years for a very competitive successful company. Depending on our annual job reviews we would often receive a small increase or bonus in salary. However at times when business and/or the economy was weak and bad, we would be told no increases. We accepted that. The paper often lists teachers salaries and how our teachers stack up against other New Hampshire communities. These numbers do not tell the complete story for a number of reasons. One, added into salaries should be benefi ts like medical, which many people in this area do not even have. Two, when teacher salaries are compared to others in New Hampshire, they should be compared to communities with the about same median income. It should be median income — 50 percent of the people have lower incomes, 50 percent of the people have higher incomes — not the average income, which can be distorted by some people with extraordinarily high incomes. Three, the overgenerous teacher retirement benefits should also be mentioned. Teachers, have you no shame to ask for increases in these bad times when many of the people who must pay your increases are struggling just to maintain their incomes. Shame on you. I live in Glen. I do not support the salary increase for teachers. Taxes are up in town. Mine went up 42 percent this year and I notice the school portion is really up. People are lucky to have jobs, gas prices are up. And Dan Perley’s on the school board. His wife’s a teacher. He shouldn’t even be recommending a raise. I saw in the paper it’s a seven-to-one ratio. Voci needs to do his job and get rid of some teachers. Now the teachers have salaries plus the benefi ts. No one mentions the benefi ts. I think they’re making$15,000 and $17,000 in benefits, with health insurance they don’t pay a deductible for. They get life insurance and dental. Another thing: The teachers only work 40 weeks out of the year. They’ve got eight weeks in the summer off, plus three other major vacation weeks, plus odd days. It’s ridiculous. Yes, I support the proposed Bartlett teachers contract. They do a great job and the students who move on to Kennett do really well. No we do not support the raise. Every person in this valley works hard — some at more than one job — and is a valuable asset to their employer. We’d like to see everyone get a raise, but giving the teachers that amount in this economy is a slap in the face to all others who struggle to pay their bills. I’m sure they haven’t seen a raise in some time. Seven to 10 kids in a class with one aid are certainly not wearing them out. No wonder they stay here; it’s the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I’m a Bartlett resident. Both of my children went through the Bartlett school and received an excellent education. I believe we need to spend the money now to create future leaders of America. This should be supported. As a Bartlett taxpayer I feel very

satisfi ed with the performance of the teachers at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School. They work very hard and the student test scores are very high from what I’ve read. I support their new contract fully. Yes, and perhaps more. As a nation in a competitive global economy, I fi nd it appalling that citizens are always so quick to undermine the education of our children, who are our future. Teachers are highly educated professionals who devote their lives to enhancing the community through their commitment to education. Anyone who is truly knowledgable about public education recognizes the role of the educator extends well beyond what was encompassed 100 or 50 or even 30 years ago. Bartlett can afford a million for a half a mile of road; it can easily afford the teachers’ salaries. Of course the Bartlett teachers should get a raise. Their test scores are consistently above everybody else. You get what you pay for. Maybe if the people in Kennett would figure that out and pay some of their teachers we wouldn’t be in the problems we have. Bartlett teachers are outstanding; they give more of their time than anybody I know. They certainly deserve this raise. They work harder than most of the people in this valley and they deserve it. In response to this week’s TeleTalk topic, I’m in complete support of Bartlett teachers receiving a raise for the following reasons: One, to become a teacher requires a college degree which is an initial investment that needs to be repaid. Two, an initial investment in highly qualified teachers helps develop an educated community. Three, a teachers salary compared to other professions requiring higher education is substantially lower. And four, if we don’t pay teachers a comparable salary to other districts we will have a diffi cult time retaining and recruiting highly qualifi ed teachers in our districts. Finally I encourage those who don’t support teacher salaries to spend more time in their community school learning what the job entails. Absolutely. As a Bartlett taxpayer I’m well aware that my property value is dependent on a quality school system. Joe Voci and the entire staff at Bartlett should be commended. It is important to note that most of these 23 teachers receiving these proposed raises have over 20 year experience and advanced degrees, several with over 30 years devotion to the school and community. They would potentially be making much more money in the private sector considering their experience and education levels. Bartlett has consistently produced quality students. Last year there were four Kennett alumni attending Ivy League schools — two at Dartmouth, one at Princeton, and one at University of Pennsylvania — all four of these students are from Bartlett; I don’t think this is a coincidence. On top of all this Bartlett’s tax rate is lower than 95 percent of the towns in New Hampshire and yet we have one of the lowest tax rates in the state. The school and its teachers should be rewarded for their accomplishments, not punished. see TELE-TALK page 8

An obligation to provide the very best education — that we can afford To the editor: Enough is Enough! It’s time to say no. Article 2 of this year’s school warrant calls for raising the sum of $96,000-plus in each of the next two years for teachers’ salaries and beneﬁ ts. The Conway Sun is quoted as saying: “Incredulously, the Bartlett School Board unanimously supports it.” I would submit that this is not incredulous at all, but rather completely believable as the current school board has earned the reputation as being a rubber stamp board. Recent memory does not recall an occasion where the school board said no and in recent past annual reports, every vote is 5-0. The voters have shown their support for the school every year because they believe in it and the school has earned a great reputation due to many factors, not the least of which is the teaching and support staff. I believe we as taxpayers have an obligation to provide the very best education that we can afford, with the operative words being “that we can afford.” Teachers the last two years have received a $2,700 wage increase (plus applicable longevity) each year and are proposing the same for the next two years, plus the longevity add on. Mr. Perley states that “we try to be fair in negotiations, contracts are negotiated on both sides.” I can certainly speak from a lot of experience that negotiations are a matter of give and take to reach a mutually acceptable end point. If his statement is correct, I would like to see what the original request was for and what was negotiated out to put this deal together. He goes on to state “the voters are the ones who said yes to the previous two years of raises.” I would submit that this is an incorrect statement as we were still under the magic Evergreen Clause and in essence the voters had no choice. Thankfully, the legislature got rid of that. Mr. Perley addresses the decrease in enrollment by stating that “with a continual drop in enrollment, the board may face some tough decisions down the road. If the long term trend continues, we’ll have to look at decreasing our staf f.” In 1995 we had 340 students and now have 244 students. I see this as a 40 percent decrease in student population while the staff has gone from 22 to 32, an increase of 45 percent. These decreases and increases are not an anomaly, but rather a continual event. This is over an 18 year period; how long a “trend” does Mr. Perley and the school board need, 50 years, 75 or maybe 100 to get a clear picture? I don’t think it matters what the local, state or national average is or what other districts offer, we

have no fear of not being competitive. I do believe our starting pay is lower than it should be and needs to be addressed, but other than that, I don’t feel that we owe any apologies for the amount of salaries and beneﬁts we offer staff in our district. For some interesting reading, you might want to study the entire contract sometime and see the other elements that make up the contract. You might be surprised. The local economy is still struggling and the bread and butter area we primarily depend on (the northeast) is also struggling. All one has to do is watch the local, regional and national news, read any publication and/or listen to any economist to see that we’re certainly not out of the woods yet. Locally we just went through a town-wide reevaluation which resulted in changes in homeowners’ assessments, darn few of which were lower. Yes, we had Irene and the town portion of the tax rate went up about 21 percent, but the school portion of the current tax rate saw a 17.9 percent increase without the expense of a reval or the direct expense of Irene. On a statewide level, New Hampshire is no better off. They are skimping every penny they can and are still operating in the red. We are seeing state funds decreased or eliminated and now have to make it up locally. This calls for belt tightening and I don’t see any indication of that from the school. Many employees have seen a reduction in salary, if not a job loss altogether. This is not the time or the economy for looking for a 14 percent raise over the last two years and the next two. Quite simply, we cannot afford this now and I feel the teachers and the school board should be ashamed of themselves for bringing this forward at this time. They must realize that this is just way too much. The taxpayers in Bartlett cannot afford private school staffing quotas or salaries. If the teachers and the school board had come forth with a reasonable proposal (say 1.5 percent increase plus longevity), I think it would have been acceptable, but this is just out of line. I urge one and all to come to school meeting March 6 at 6:30 p.m., vote this contract down and send a clear message that Enough is Enough ! If you choose not to attend and have your voice heard, don’t complain about your tax bill afterwards. Unfortunately, those who will be the most affected and can least afford it will simply not be able to attend. Norman Head Bartlett

well provided for with large salaries, numerous vacations, summers off, and outstanding benefits packages. Voters, you can’t keep giving more to the teachers “at the expense of others!” On Thanksgiving Eve I had the pleasure of having eight college students including my granddaughter visit to make pies for me. There was much catching up. laughter, etc, The conversation turned to their experiences at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School and the educational opportunities they received (fi ve of these students went to JBES). All five stated that their education at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School better prepared them for college than their four years at Kennett. The staff at JBES demanded excellence in their work and graded accordingly. They helped those who needed help before and after school. Do these dedicated veteran teachers deserve a raise according to the contract? I say yes and thank you Josiah Bartlett Elementary School! You make our school outstanding. Jean. I can picture the conversations that go on in The Conway Daily Sun offi ce. Someone proposes writing the Tele-Talk question as: “Do you support the proposed Bartlett teachers’ contract?” Then someone else points out that phrasing it differently and including something about a “sputtering economy” would generate more drama and make teachers look bad. Ooooh, great idea! Besides, we don’t really care what the whole valley thinks about their contract anyway. Only Bartlett residents can vote, and they’re generally very supportive of the school because they understand what quality education is all about. That’s boring. We just want to stir the pot and push our own propaganda.

This is Frank Thompson of Bartlett Middle School and I defi nitely support raises for these teachers. All of them are amazing at what they do and many of them have been with the school for quite a few years now. People say private businesses are straining their budgets in this economy, well so are their employees. These teachers do more than teach. They inspire us to do great things with their lives and I truly think they should be rewarded for that. I would hope that the townspeople would consider the times and economic challenges and not just have blanket raises all the time. Teachers should join the workforce and understand that raises are not just assumed or granted on a regular basis. And this has nothing to do with the profession it has to do with changing their profession to the professions around the world. Teachers are important, but are they more important than your local priest? Are they more important than the guy who delivers your heating oil? Are they more important than the family who sacrifi ces fi nancial gain to have a stay at home Mom for the welfare of the children? Are they more important than your hospice caregiver administering to a patient who wants to die at home? Teachers are important, but they are not more important! The school constituency always states that teachers are important and we must pay them to keep them, but people come here knowing they are going to make less money than if they were in Boston or New York. That is part of the trade off for living in this magnificent mountain hamlet; you sacrifice the big paycheck for a simpler, slower, more natural beauty based mountain life. Teachers are already

Yeah, sure, what the heck, why not? It’s only money. The taxpayahs can afford it. I think the Bartlett teachers and the school board are out of touch with what is happening throughout this country. My husband is lucky to still have his job but he hasn’t had a pay raise in fi ve years. Last year the company stopped the 401K match and increased his health insurance so he now pays $130 a month when he previously had 100 percent employer paid. We are grateful to have coverage. I have my own coverage and it costs close to $450 a month and the copays for medical visits and prescriptions are going up as of April 1 and there will be deductibles for the fi rst time. We consider ourselves lucky that we can pay these premiums and other costs. To give these teachers raises that will increase the school budget close to $100,000 in the next two years is selfish on their part. We have to get by with frozen salaries while food, gasoline, taxes all continue to increase. I urge the voters of Bartlett to attend the annual meeting Tuesday evening and vote no for this contract. I currently do not know what our Bartlett teachers are earning, however, I have done a little research, and have noted that many municipalities are giving their employees raises of one or two percent, per year. The $2,700 dollars per year seems quite high, unless our teachers are making a lot more dough than I would imagine. Remember, its not “government money,” but “taxpayer money.” The following Tele-Talk responses were posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page: I absolutely support the raises for the teachers. Although I am no longer a resident of Bartlett and my children have not been students for many

years, many of those teachers are still there. They are now teaching the next generation of Bartlett kids. The dedication of these people who spend so much time with our children teaching them not only academics but values that last their entire lives deserves to be rewarded. My kids and I have the utmost respect for the teachers like Carol Penza and Peggy Fish and others who challenged them and made them accountable for their actions. The teachers of Bartlett care about their students. Thank you Joe and all the teachers for your years of dedication to our kids! Elaine Sweet Bartlett has a very low turnover rate for teachers because it’s an incredible place to teach. The community within the school is positive, close-knit, and focused on high achievement. Instruction is meaningful and purposeful, and data is utilized to drive differentiated instruction, which assures that the needs of all students are met. Classrooms are ﬁ lled with cutting edge technology, thanks to funds from grants. Collectively, all of this has a huge positive impact on the students, and it establishes an expectation for high-level teaching. Standardized test scores for Bartlett students are exceptional, but more importantly, students gain an appreciation for the value of seeking knowledge and learn the importance of working hard to achieve goals. Without a staff of dedicated and highly experienced teachers, the quality of education would suffer, which in turn would negatively impact the students. Yes, experienced teachers receive a higher salary than newer teachers, so of course a school like Bartlett with its highly qualiﬁed staff will cost taxpayers more than a school with a high turnover rate. Ultimately the question is whether the educational results justify the expense, and if the goal is to provide students with the best possible education, then the answer is a resounding “yes.”

Nelson explained the budget represented a savings of about 6 cents per $1,000 of property valuation. However, if all of the warrant articles, including the budget, are approved, there would be an overall increase of 22 cents per $1,000 of property valuation, or 2.78 percent. Among the proposed increases, according to Nelson, is $70,931 in salaries, which includes an increase in performance contingency for support staff/administration, who would receive at most a 3.5 percent raise based on the Social Security Index (the SSI was zero last year and no raises were awarded). Staff is rated on four levels from distinguished, getting 3.5 percent, to profi cient getting 3 percent; and down to unsatisfactory receiving nothing. An additional kindergarten teacher and stipends for the Professional Learning Communities leaders are also part of the increase in salaries. "If we don't need the additional kindergarten teacher the we'll reduce that line," Nelson said. Other increases to the budget include $65,434 in regular high school tuition to the high school (143 Bartlett students are projected to attend high school next year and the fi gure increases to 151 the following year); $32,611 in retirement; $11,055 in food service (due to an increase in kitchen help; increase in salaries and benefits; and $2,800 in repairs); $6,249 in

Under the parameters of the new teachers' contract, 23 of the 32 teachers would get $2,700 pay raises next year. If the contract goes through, the teachers will be in line to get more than $10,000 in raises over four years — $2,700 in each of the last two years and $2,700 for each of the next two years. Twenty-one teachers, regardless if the contract is approved or not, will receive longevity stipends for being with the district for over 10 years. Twenty will receive $1,000 while one, a two-thirds-time employee, will get $600. In 1995 when principal Joe Voci was initially hired, there were roughly 340 students and 22 regular education teachers at the K-8 school, creating an average class size of about 15 students. Next year's projection is for 244 students and 32 teachers for a 7.6-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio. Voci said he is proud of the staff he has and appreciates the long-term commitment the educators have made to this community. "We have a lot of experienced staff who have stayed and are on the top of their game," Voci said. "They've been here 20 to 30 years, and then we have another big group that's been here between six and 12 years, which I believe is a really good thing. They've come here, built homes and stayed in the community. One of the reasons we've been so successful is we have a core of faculty — they get it and are really committed. We have awesome people in this building." Under the previous contract, teachers received back-to-back $2,700 raises and would have contin-

ued to do so as it was one of the ﬁrst contracts in the state negotiated under the controversial Evergreen Law, which was repealed last year by New Hampshire legislators. The raises will continue, however, under the latest proposed new two-year contract, negotiated by Dan Perley and Michael Murphy for the school board and Carol Penza, Vance Pickering and Kurt Erickson for the Bartlett Education Association. If the contract is approved, 23 of the 32 teachers at Josiah Bartlett will received $2,700 raises in each of the next two years. In essence, three-quarters of the teaching staff will have received a $10,800 raise if they remain with the district into 2014. A new teacher on the lowest step ladder would receive a $500 raise. Bartlett has not had any teachers leave in the past four years. According to this year's annual school report, 12 teachers have worked at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School at least 22 years while one member has been teaching at the school for 45 years. Perley defended the raises and so did his colleagues, who voted unanimously 5-0 to support the teachers' contract, which is Article 2 on the school warrant. "It ultimately comes down to a business perspective," he said Feb. 7 during the board's budget hearing which was attended by just four citizens. "This says that a job well done is still recognized. If you do the math, the increases are still below 5 percent." "We try to stay competitive," Vicki Harlow, board chairman, said. "We try to be fair in negotiations, contracts are negotiated by both sides.." "The voters are the ones who said 'yes' to the previous two years of raises," Perley said, adding, "I think it's a community expressing the importance of education. We're fortunate to retain the talent we have." With a continual drop in enrollment, Perley said the board may face some tough decisions down the road. "If the long-term trend continues, we'll have to look at decreasing our staff." Perley said the board does try to encourage a healthy turnover in stafﬁng. "Is there a minimum retirement age?" asked former school board member Bill Fabrizio at the hearing. "You

say you're trying to encourage healthy turnover, but there doesn't seem to be a retirement age." "I tell the staff all the time, how do you want to be remembered," Voci said. "You can sit at your desk and watch the world go by, or go out at the top of your game. You decide." The district does not have a minimum or maximum retirement age. Aside from the budget, other warrant articles to be decided Tuesday include: No. 2 seeks voter approval for the cost items included in the collective bargaining agreement reached between the Bartlett School Board and the Bartlett Education Association which calls for an estimated increase of $96,397 for 2012-13 and $96,636 in 2013-14, representing increases in salaries and beneﬁts. No. 3 seeks voter approval to raise $71,000 for the purchase of a new 24-passenger school bus and to authorize the withdrawal of $40,000 from the school bus capital reserve fund to help offset the cost. No. 4 seeks $14,000 to initiate the next phase of the elementary school's technology program. No. 5 asks voter approval to place $15,000 into the School Bus Capital Reserve Fund. The funds will be offset in part by any National Forest Reserve funds. No. 6 seeks voter approval to create a new expendable trust to be known as a maintenance trust fund and then raise and appropriate $50,000 to go into it. No. 7 seeks $19,380 to initiate the next phase of roof replacement at the Josiah Bartlett Elementary School. No. 8 asks voters to raise and appropriate $84,000 to replace the water line at the Josiah Bartlett Elementary School and authorize the withdrawal of $51,000 from the capital receive fund (maintenance) designed for that purpose in 1999. No. 9 asks voters permission to discontinue the maintenance capital reserve fund created in 1999. No. 10 seeks voter approval to approve a new three-year tuition contract with the Jackson School District for the Jackson seventh and eighth grade students to attend Josiah Bartlett Elementary School. No. 11 is to transact any other business.

Kennett High hockey is back in the Frozen Four BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY – The Kennett High hockey team is heading back to the Frozen Four. The top seeded Eagles punched their ticket to Concord and the Division III semiﬁ nals tomorrow with an impressive 7--1 victory over Somersworth at Ham Ice Arena on Saturday night before over 600 spectators. KHS out shot the sixth seeded Toppers 64-13 in the win.

This will be Kennett’s sixth straight appearance in the Frozen Four, something Coach Michael Lane does not take for granted. “The kids understand what it takes to get back there (Concord) and it’s not easy,” he said. “These kids work hard every day and take nothing for granted, they deserve a lot of credit. Six years in a row is a real testament to the players we have. They’ve earned it and had another great season. Their effort on Saturday night was one of our best

performances as a team all season.” Kennett will play No. 4 ranked Hollis-Brookline in the 7:30 p.m. semiﬁnal at Everett Arena in Concord. No. 2 Alvirne will play upset-minded No. 6 BelmontGilford in the opening semiﬁnal at 5:30 p.m. Belmont-Gilford continued an interesting trend in the Division III playoffs last Saturday night and once again proved, it doesn’t pay to be the third seed. see KENNETT page 16

Kennett Eagles Hockey: the Team to Beat in the Final Four BY JOHN SKELTON THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

With preliminary rounds completed and the Kennett Eagles having avenged their March 2011 championship game loss to Somersworth with a convincing 7-1 quarterﬁnal victory on Ham Arena home ice this Saturday, the New Hampshire Division III hockey Final Four sets up with the No. 1 seeded Eagles (17-1-0) as favorites to earn their third championship in the past four seasons. Longtime rival Somersworth (9-10-0) provided a stiff challenge and hung even with the Eagles through 24 minutes of Saturday’s quarterﬁ nal

game. A scoreless ﬁ rst period was highlighted by consistent Kennett offensive zone dominance, great scoring chances and outstanding play by Toppers goalie Peter Robertson who came up huge, and ﬁ nished the night with 57 saves. At 1:06 of the second period, Dillon Smith gathered the puck in his own end and led a power play rush into the Toppers zone. When the defense never stepped up to challenge, Smith ripped a laser to the back of the net for an unassisted score. The Eagles constant Achilles heel, taking too many unwarranted penalties, came right back to haunt them. The Toppers evened the score at 1-1

with a close in slap shot beating a defenseless John Bishop in the Eagles goal during a 5 v 3 Toppers advantage at 5:14 into the second period. As the game wore on, Eagles depth took its toll on the visitors, and Kennett outscored Somersworth 6-0 over the last 21 minutes to punch their ticket to the semiﬁnals. An unfortunate end of game saw several penalties taken by both teams in the game’s waning minutes. Referees had enough to sort out that the running clock had to be stopped.

Hoop Eagles put a wrap on the season; Coach Cote looks ahead BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — After going through a 2-16 season on the Division II hardwood this winter Steve Cote knows the Kennett High boys basketball team has some work to do if it has playoff aspirations. However, the Eagles hope to build on their play down the stretch that saw them win two of their final seven contests. Although it was a rough season in terms of wins and loses, Coach Cote praised his players for their work ethic and never giving up. Cote also took a moment to speak about each of his players: Freshman Ben Higgins — “He’s the fi ve of the future. I expect Ben to get a lot more playing time next year. This year he was behind two seniors who got the lion’s share of the minutes. Ben knows what he’s got to do in the off-season to improve his game. Making the move from eighth grade to varsity basketball is a huge step, it’s a lot more physical and mental. At mid-year he agreed to swing between varsity and junior varsity and that definitely helped improve his varsity play.” Freshman Nick Graziano — “Nick played the bulk of his minutes this season at the junior varsity level. He’s a real smart kid and a natural leader. He’s going to be our sniper of the future, our scorer and I know he’s up for the challenge.” Freshman Jordan Stocker — Jordan burst onto the varsity scene right away and earned substantial playing time. He didn’t seem to ever be swayed by the move from eighth grade to varsity ball. Jordan brought a different confi dence and swagger to the court which we needed. He’s very good defensively and very good at getting to the rim on offense. I’m sure over the next three years Jordan’s confi dence and leadership will continue to surface.” Freshman Brandon DiLucchio — “Brandon was our starting point gourd the majority of the season, that was a huge expectation on our part, but he was up to the challenge. Brandon is a special player; he’s a natural leader. He’s really instrumental in communicating on the fl oor both offensively and defensively. There’s not one person on this team who would question Brandon’s worth ethic. He’s probably one of the hardest working kids I’ve had in the program. He might be the fi rst pure point guard we’ve had at Kennett since Trevor MacDonald. I’m really looking forward to having Brandon on the roster for the next three years.” Sophomore Thomas Loynd — “Thomas has a very passionate love of the game of basketball. For all of our sophomores this season was a tough transition as there were a lot of seniors who had earned minutes ahead of them. ...Thomas is a student of the game. I’d expect he’ll get significant minutes at the one or on the wing for us next season — he brings a defi nite quickness that we can utilize. I think Thomas’ junior year will be a turning point for him and the program.” Sophomore Ryan Vajentic — “Ryan is a very athletic sophomore who utilized his quickness and jumping ability on numerous occasions, especially on the offensive glass. I expect, as Ryan should, a couple of really strong years ahead. This has the capability of being Ryan’s team if he wants it to be.” Sophomore Mark Lautenschlager — “Mark really developed the mental aspect of his game this season as far as using his emotions to his advantage. He played a lot more at the junior variety level, but I expect him to be an excellent addition to the varsity next year. He knows he needs to develop more strength because we’re counting on he and Ben (Higgins) to be banging with the big boys of Division II next winter and I know he’s up to the task. He’s got a family legacy to uphold here with both of his brothers being former captains and leaders for us.” Junior Nate Ela — “Nate entered the season with an injury that didn’t allow him to come in in game shape right away Throughout the course of the year though he got more minutes and morphed from a a guard to a four or fi ve. His best game of the year

was against Coe-Brown when he came off the bench and scored 10-12 points. He’s got height and athletic ability to help us at strong forward. I’m hoping the success he saw in his game at the end of the year will be a springboard to next season.” Senior Seth Davison — “Seth lost his junior year to an unfortunate car accident. This year he came back and worked hard to lead the team in minutes and was our second leading scorer. Seth’s scoring aside, his strength has always been his defense and aggressive style — he’s willing to get on the fl oor and scrap for loose balls. Seth put in a ton of effort into making his senior year special. I wish him well at the next level.” Senior Alex Milford — “Alex is a three-year letter winner in basketball. Last year was a very tough year for Alex, he started every game and played point guard for us out of necessity. He worked hard and really helped the team in that role. This year he was much more mature and took on the role of captain very seriously. He played the point and the three for us. Defensively he demanded taking on the other team’s best offensive player to which he utilized his quickness in those match-ups. Not only did Alex always play hard but he also always practiced hard and that made others better. I really appreciate all of his efforts.” Senior Scott Conner — “After the second tryout day I went up to Scott and said where have you been? He did tell me that he played for Coach (Bobby) Strong as a freshman, but didn’t come out his sophomore and junior years. What a contributor he turned out to be. During the fi rst half of the season he arguably didn’t understand his role, but at the end of the year he really blossomed. I can imagine how he could have contributed over those other two years. He understood the team concept and I’m very fortunate to have had the opportunity to coach him. On our Senior Night, with six seniors, he came to me and asked that his fellow seniors start ahead of him. He made a diffi cult decision very easy for me. Scott is a class act who truly understands what it means to be a good teammate.” Senior Dustin Stewart — “Dustin is one of those quiet leaders. He’s always in good shape and tries really hard to do whatever is asked of him. He utilized the toughness and physical skills he developed in football. Dustin is a tremendous asset to any program because of his work ethic and leadership. He aspires to play football at the next level and I wish him all the best.” Senior Michael Lautenschlager — “Michael was a two-year starter and co-captain this year. I think Michael’s biggest strength is his leadership. He gets a lot of respect from teammates and a lot of the younger players look up to him. His strength on the fl oor is his defense — he plays aggressive, in your face basketball. At certain times this year, based on match-ups, we needed greater scoring combinations and Michael knew and understood what we needed to do as coaches and he embraced it. Michael is just an excellent teammate and did what’s expected of a leader and I certainly want to thank him.” Senior Robert Starkey — “Robert is also a threeyear letter winner for the varsity program. It was a very interesting senior year for Robert. Last year he started most games for us, but this year he only started one, on Senior Night. The special thing about Robert is he’s a true teammate. He never once questioned the coach’s decisions — he just continued every day to hone his craft. Robert was our leading scorer and he kept us in several games this season. The first game against Berlin he had 16 points and also the way he closed out his career with a careerhigh 26 at Kingswood in a very heated contest, it was just a storybook ending to his career as an Eagle. Robert’s nickname is ‘The Big Quiet,’ and I don’t think in my six years there’s been anyone more well-liked than Robert Starkey. He works as hard as he can, never complains, he’s the consummate teammate in my book.”

The Eagles concluded their season 2-16. “I’m very proud of the way this team competed all season,” Cote said. “We played substantially better at the end of the season, and against Kingswood, under playoff-like conditions, we played one of our best games of the year. For Kingswood, it was a big night for them in general, and to their credit they were just a bit better than us.” With the win, Kingswood (7-11) secured a playoff spot and the No. 15 seeded Knights will travel to No. 2 Portsmouth (16-2) tomorrow night.

CONWAY — The Kennett High boys basketball team closed the book on the season last week and nearly ended Kingswood’s season in the process. The Knights held off a frantic second half rally by the visiting Eagles on Feb. 27 to win 55-47 and secure a playoff berth in the process. “What a game,” Steve Cote, Eagles’ head coach, said. “It was your typical Kingswood versus Kennett barn-burner. We had great community support, a lot of parents, community members and members of the girls basketball team came down to support us. It was definitely a playoff atmosphere, Kingswood’s gym was packed, definitely a capacity crowd. “…Talking to Coach (Dan) Chick (of Kingswood),” he continued, “it became apparent that the game had taken on a little more importance. If they won they had the opportunity to make the playoffs, but if they lost and Windham won, Windham would have gotten in based on strength of schedule. So it was a must-win for them on their Senior Night and for us, we were playing for pride against our biggest rival — it’s everything you kind of hope for at the fi nish of a season.” The host Knights jumped out to a 29-19 lead after the opening quarter. “The entire game, if there was a chink in our armor, I think (Kingswood) out-rebounded us all night long,” Cote said. “It seemed like every time we gave them a second opportunity they took advantage.” Kingswood led 37-30 at the half and 48-36 after three periods. Kennett controlled much of the fourth quarter and pulled to within one with a little over two minutes to play. “We were right with them and had our chances,” Cote said. “Kohl Meyers, who finished the game with 14 point, hit a couple of key shots at the end and that kind of sealed the deal and kept us just far enough away. It was basically a four point game and we had to foul at the end and they hit all four free throws.” Senior Robert Starkey led the Eagles in scoring with a game-high 26 points including making seven 3-pointers. “Robert was on fi re from the beginning to end,” Cote said. “It was a great way for him to go out — from the fi rst shot he took to the end he was just absolutely locked in. He didn’t force the issue, he

For the third time in four years, No. 6 upset No. 3. The lone exception was Kennett last season. In 2009, Bedford upset Somersworth, and in 2010, Belmont-Gilford upset Somersworth in overtime. On Saturday, Belmont-Gilford scored 1:04 into overtime to upset Windham-Pelham and advance to the Frozen Four for the second time in three seasons. Windham-Pelham was the lone team to beat Kennett this winter. Although Kennett controlled the play on Saturday night, Somersworth rode a red-hot goalie — Peter Robertson — to keep the contest scoreless through the first period. “You’ve got to tip your cap to Peter, he played great,” Lane said. “He deserves a lot of credit. …It took a while to get that snowball rolling down hill but once we did it got rolling really fast.” Scoreless after the fi rst period, junior Dillon Smith skated the puck end-to-end on a power-play and beat Robertson blocker side with 13:54 to play in the second to put Kennett in front 1-0. The led was short-lived however as three minutes later on a fi ve-on-three power-play, Somersworth’s Austin Siering blistered a slap-shot past a screened John Bishop to tie the game 1-1. The game stayed that way until the 9:26 mark of the second period when Kevin Murphy picked up a puck along the wall after a Dan Rivera pinch kept it in and beat Robertson to give the Eagles a lead they would never surrender. “Murphy’s goal was big,” Lane said. “We’d gone with so many cross ice passes that I think Robertson was expecting it again and Murphy beat him to (to the blocker side).” Two minutes later (11:17), the Eagles upped the lead to 3-1 when sophomore Brad Canavari outworked a Somersworth defender in front of the net and banged home a rebound of a James Gallo shot. Ahead 3-1, Bishop made his biggest

“The kids understand what it takes to get back there (Concord) and it’s not easy. These kids work hard every day and take nothing for granted, they deserve a lot of credit. Six years in a row is a real testament to the players we have. They’ve earned it and had another great season.” and most important save of the night with 11 minutes to play. Steve Wolf and Jonathan Hansen came in on a two-on-one. Wolf cut to the front and tried to beat Bishop, but the senior held his ground to keep the game 3-1. “It was a huge save by Bish,” Lane said. “The difference between a 3-1 or a 3-2 hockey game is so big. Plus, right after that, we came down and scored a shorthanded goal.” The Eagles extended their lead to 4-1 when Murphy netted his second on the night at 5:35. Kennett added three other goals with the fifth coming on a power-play at 8:09 when Murphy found Connor Todd backdoor for a wide open net goal and a 5-1 lead. The Eagles made it 6-1 at 8:53 of the period when Chris King took a slapshot from the point that was deflected home by Gallo. Smith, who started the scoring, ended it with his second tally on a wrist shot at 11:28. The Eagles will play Hollis-Brookline, who they beat 2-1 in a thriller on the road Feb. 11. “We’re looking forward to Wednesday,” Lane said. “Hollis-Brookline is a good team and they can create some tough match-ups that we’ll need to fi gure out. They’re very physical, we know we have to play good disciplined hockey. It should be a really good game.” The winners of tomorrow night will advance to the Division III fi nals, which are scheduled for this Saturday at noon in the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester.

the Eagles side, perhaps a residue from last March frustration, must be reigned in to a more disciplined approach tomorrow. The strength of this season’s Eagles is depth and quality at all positions. Few other Division III teams can put out three lines capable of competing every shift. The Eagles defensive corps has been outstanding and Kennett easily leads Division III in fewest goals allowed. Senior Assistant Captain Matt Kelly is a most calming Eagle presence on the blueline, helping teammates to maintain hockey focus when emotions rise. Bishop has been stellar in goal when needed, and should see more quality shots in the season’s penultimate games. Hollis-Brookline (12-6-1, 4th seed), gave Kennett all they could handle in the Eagles 2-1 victory at the Cavaliers home rink on February 11. The semiﬁ nal rematch in Concord tomorrow, set for puck drop at 7:30 pm, should be a barnburner. Certainly the F.E. Everett Arena provides an old-time hockey barn atmosphere, and Eagles fans will

likely arrive early to pack the endzone tier of seats. In January, HollisBrookline nearly matched the Eagles depth, in a physical game where both teams rolled three forward lines. Tomorrow, Coach Mike Lane anticipates another physical game. His keys to the contest: “Get the puck to the net. Hollis-Brookline doesn’t give up many rebounds so we need to cash in our chances.” Additionally, if the game gets chippy, the Eagles must allow the Cavaliers to take penalties and make them pay on the power play. Tomorrow’s Eagles-Cavaliers victors will take on the winner of the early game matchup between No. 2 Alvirne (17-1-0) v. No. 6 BelmontGilford (11-7-0), for the Division III championship at the Verizon Wireless Arena on Saturday at 12:15 p.m. In a show of team unity, the young Eagles have all bleached their hair for the playoffs. A couple of individual Eagle blondies got to pump their ﬁ sts for goals scored last Saturday at the Ham. Here’s hoping they exhibit their hockey passion with discipline, and get a chance to celebrate as a team with two more victories during Final Four week.

Candidates night at Community Club meeting Wednesday Congrats to Freedom’s Madelyn Glavin, age 13, who recently placed second in both Super G races at Mount Sunapee as well as ﬁnishing third at her GS race at Cranmore, qualifying her for the Junior Olympics.

At that point, results from all of our Freedom racers will be coming in from their proud parents so I will do my best to keep you posted all their ski successes soon. Freedom’s Hannah Marudzinski recently was on the stage at her school’s stage at Fisher Theater at Phillips Exeter Academy for their production of "Beauty and the Beast." The show was sold out for every performance and was really well done with lots of energy and talent. Hannah, a sophomore, had the role of a fork in the castle and was the understudy for the lead, Belle. It was a fabulous performance.

DILBERT

by Darby Conley

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It may feel as though the day goes by without progressing your interests. But if you think about the effect your efforts will have in the long run, what you’re doing now is absolutely crucial. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have your own ideas about how things should be done. You’ll research and put your theories to the test until you’re certain that you’re right. Avoid contests with combative types. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ). “Whatever” will prove to be a disempowering word. Better to decide on the particular “what” you want and let people know. This afternoon, you’ll feel lucky. Act on it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are aspects of your life that never seem to get the attention they deserve even though they really matter to you. Happiness is ﬁ nding a way to spend time on one of these neglected areas. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be highly motivated early in the day. The evening brings a bit of a slump. It will be the same tomorrow, so plan to get up early and do your best work in the a.m. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 6). You’ll feel loved and will have an overwhelming sense of belonging. The next month brings a breakthrough in your ﬁ nancial sector, mostly having to do with the high level of responsibility you display. Fun times in April may start a tradition that continues for the next decade. Strong love bonds form over the summer. Cancer and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 24, 31 and 18.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19). It will be an effort to learn a different way of solving a problem, but be adventurous. You can always go back to what’s tried and true if the new way doesn’t suit you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll have some alone time, and you shouldn’t spend it all doing diligent and important work. Goof off. That’s what good friends do together, and you’re learning each day how to be a better friend to yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re laugh-out-loud funny. If the others aren’t laughing, it’s because your humor is too daring. But express it anyway, and then laugh all by yourself if you have to. It will bring up the energy around you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your power drive is high, and you’ll be irritated by anyone who tries to dominate you or give you unsolicited advice. You’ll show competence in any group you join. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are super-capable and you know it. You likely will have more energy than others, and you won’t mind doing extra work. You may yield to the needs of your loved ones because it’s the easiest thing to do. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may be accused of being too rigid, but maybe that’s a good thing. Being too ﬂ exible can lead to disorganization and a lack of self-discipline. Anyway, you’ll get a chance to unwind a bit tonight. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Competition and the struggle to get ahead will play a signiﬁ cant part in your life. You’ll be better off for the pressure, though, which will bring out the best in you, as it usually does.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Tuesday, March 6, 2012— Page 23

Today is Tuesday, March 6, the 66th day of 2012. There are 300 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 6, 1962, what became known as the Ash Wednesday Storm began pounding the midAtlantic coast; over a three-day period, the storm resulted in 40 deaths and caused more than $200 million in property damage. On this date: In 1834, the city of York in Upper Canada was incorporated as Toronto. In 1836, the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, fell to Mexican forces after a 13-day siege. In 1853, Verdi’s opera “La Traviata” premiered in Venice, Italy. In 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Dred Scott v. Sandford that Scott, a slave, was not an American citizen and could not sue for his freedom in federal court. In 1902, Congress passed a measure creating a Census Offi ce in the Department of the Interior (the office was moved to the Department of Commerce and Labor the following year). In 1912, Oreo sandwich cookies (originally called “biscuits”) were fi rst introduced by Nabisco. In 1933, a nationwide bank holiday declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt went into effect. In 1944, U.S. heavy bombers staged the first full-scale American raid on Berlin during World War II. In 1957, the former British African colonies of the Gold Coast and Togoland became the independent state of Ghana. In 1967, the daughter of Josef Stalin, Svetlana Alliluyeva (ah-lee-loo-YAY’-vah), appeared at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi and declared her intention to defect to the West. In 1970, a bomb being built inside a Greenwich Village townhouse by the radical Weathermen accidentally went off, destroying the house and killing three group members. In 1987, 193 people died when the British ferry Herald of Free Enterprise capsized off the Belgian port of Zeebrugge. One year ago: The space shuttle and space station crews hugged goodbye after more than a week together, but saved their most heartfelt farewell for Discovery, which was on its final voyage after nearly three decades. Today’s Birthdays: Orchestra conductor Julius Rudel is 91. Author Gabriel Garcia Marquez is 85. Orchestra conductor Lorin Maazel is 82. Country singer Doug Dillard is 75.

Help Wanted by Abigail Van Buren

INTRUSIVE QUESTION DIMINISHES EXPECTANT MOM’S JOYFUL NEWS

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are in our 30s and have been happily married for almost six years. After two years of trying, we’re finally expecting our first child. The problem is, how do we handle questions as to whether or not we conceived naturally? I am appalled by people we hardly know asking if we did in vitro fertilization. As a matter of fact, we DID conceive using IVF, after having tried numerous other options. We don’t see anything wrong with it nor are we ashamed. But I don’t think it is anyone else’s business. Please help me respond properly without seeming as rude as those who ask. -- INTRUDED ON IN DALLAS DEAR INTRUDED ON: Handle it by saying, “That is a very personal question and I’d rather not discuss it.” That an acquaintance would have such little respect for boundaries to ask this question is appalling, I agree. DEAR ABBY: My mother retired and since I have a degree and background in finance, she asked me to help her get her finances in order. She held low-paying jobs most of her working life, so I was pleasantly surprised to find she had amassed a substantial amount of money in her retirement and other accounts. Together, Mom and I developed a budget that will not only pay her bills, but will also give her a certain amount of spending money each month while still allowing her savings to grow. Despite my assurances, she still won’t treat herself to dinners out or go on nice vacations even though she says she’d like to do those things. How can I convince her that she deserves those things and she has the money now to enjoy

them? -- WANTS THE BEST FOR MOM IN MICHIGAN DEAR WANTS THE BEST FOR MOM: Recognize that the habits of a lifetime can be diffi cult to break. Your mother might be more open to dinners out if you go together. As to the vacations, do some research for her online or talk to a travel agent and get some brochures for vacation spots you think she might enjoy. It doesn’t have to be fancy or exotic -- the greatest adventure can start with baby steps. Be patient and you may find she becomes receptive. DEAR ABBY: I’m one of four guys who go on a men’s golf trip every year. There’s no infi delity -- just three days of golf and fine dining. I no longer want to go because I’m tired of being the big brother, the referee and the designated driver while the others get drunk and obnoxious and are oblivious to others around us. I am also a physician who treats them and their families in my medical practice. How do I get out of this mess? I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. -- THE ODD MAN OUT DEAR ODD MAN OUT: An effective way to manage it would be to tell them that the dates they have selected for the golf trip “don’t work” for you. You don’t have to be specifi c about why -- it could be a family obligation or something related to your practice that makes you unavailable. HOWEVER, as their physician, if you know these patients drink to such excess that they become obnoxious, oblivious and a danger behind the wheel, it would be in their interests to talk to them about it during their medical exam because they’re a danger to themselves and others.

partnered with the Ghoullog in the fall. You could always find Pete outdoors. He enjoyed swimming, hiking, skiing and fi shing, and almost any other outdoor activity you could fi nd.

Doucet, of Eaton; a daughter, Lillian I. Tessier, of Conway; a stepdaughter, Morgan D. Doucet, and a stepson Connor
