CONWAY — More than 150 voters came out for the town portion of the deliberative session on Monday night, where they were feeling generous. Turnout at Kennett High was close to double recent years, selectmen and town staff said, but there was very little discussion as the moderator, budget committee and selectmen worked their way through the warrant articles. The only article that saw a signifi cant change was the town budget, to which the voters added nearly $180,000.

CONWAY — If the budget committee’s proposed 11 percent cut to the school budget stands, the district will be forced to cut approximately 60 positions; eliminate all sports, music and dance teams at the high school and middle school; and terminate school buses for the high school. The budget should dominate discussion at the deliberative portion of school meeting Wednesday. Citizens will be asked if they want to see a 11 percent, or $3.6 million, reduction in the school budget, or if they would like the funds restored. Further cuts are also a possibility. The meeting is in the Loynd Auditorium at Kennett High School at 7 p.m. Wednesday. The Conway School Board’s proposed budget is $33,085,573 while the budget committee is recommending an 11 percent cut for a budget of $29,445,982. Neither fi gure includes 14 other warrant articles totaling about $730,000. If the other warrant articles are rejected, total cut would be $4.1 million. Superintendent Carl Nelson outlined the impact of an 11 percent cut Monday. “It’s not pretty,” he said. “I hate to use the word devastating, but as you can see, it see SCHOOL CUT page 12
Conway selectman involved in collision that claimed life of Berlin woman Saturday BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
JACKSON — Icy roads were to blame for a two-car accident that left a Berlin woman dead on Saturday morning. A Conway selectman was the driver of the other vehicle.
Doreen Bilodeau, 54, was driving a 2001 Toyota Echo south on Route 16 near mile marker 94 when she lost control of her car on ice and crossed the yellow line, according to a State Police press release. She had her grandson with her in the car. Selectman Bob Drinkhall, 65, was headed north to go skiing in a 2006 Jeep
Commander when Bilodeau crossed into his lane. “They never came out of the curve,” Drinkhall said. He tried to pull over, but he was unable to get out of her way. “There was no place to go.” see FATAL page 14 WWW.LUCYHARDWARE.COM

Reinvention of silk
3DAYFORECASTLOTTERY
(NY Times) — Spiders are nature’s master silk makers, and over millions of years of evolution have developed silks that could be useful to people — from sticky toothpastelike mush to strong and stretchy draglines. “There’s not just one kind of material we’re talking about,” said Cheryl Hayashi, who studies the evolutionary genetics of spider silk at the University of California, Riverside. “You can look in nature, and there are a lot of solutions already made. You want a glue? There’s a silk that’s already a glue.” For years there has been talk of the bright promise of spider silk: that it might one day be used to make cables that are stronger than those of steel, for example, or bulletproof vests that are more effective than those made of Kevlar. There has been a big fl y in the ointment, however: spiders cannot spin enough of the stuff. Although a typical spider can produce fi ve types of silk, it does not make much of any of them. Researchers have worked to overcome this fundamental limitation by trying to unlock the secrets of the spider’s silk-making abilities so silk could be made in the laboratory, or by genetically transferring those abilities to other organisms that could produce silk in quantity. But so far the materials produced lack the full strength, elasticity and other qualities of the real thing.

Egypt names a new cabinet CAIRO (NY Times) — Egypt’s interim prime minister appointed a new caretaker cabinet on Sunday, answering a public demand to eliminate most ministers with links to former President Hosni Mubarak, even as protesters nationwide continued to try to storm the offices of hated institutions. Egyptians were riveted by a trove of secret police documents seized while pro-
testers rampaged through a central office of the state security organization on Saturday night, which began popping up on Facebook. Reports that the state security police were burning and shredding incriminating documents led to the rampage on Saturday, as well as a protest at the Interior Ministry on Sunday. After several hours, plainclothes police offi cers dispersed hundreds of pro-
testers with sticks, knives and rocks, while soldiers fi red into the air, sending echoes of gunfire through downtown Cairo for the first time in weeks. The reviled plainclothes security police officers were last seen in force trying to violently suppress the protests that led to the ouster of Mr. Mubarak on Feb. 11, and their re-emergence on Sunday created new tension.
New warnings from Obama Supreme court allows suit to as Qaddafi forces attack again force DNA testing of evidence RAS LANUF, Libya (NY Times) — Government warplanes bombed rebel positions near this coastal city’s oil refi nery on Monday, seeking to drive them further back to the east, as President Obama again warned that the West was considering all its options in Libya, including possible military intervention. The airstrikes, which killed at least one person, started in the morning, sending huge plumes of smoke into the air around 10 a.m. At every sound of a jet engine, the rebels opened fire with what sounded like every weapon available, including
heavy artillery and pistols. In the evening, a warplane swooped low and on two separate occasions, dropped bombs near a heavilydefended rebel checkpoint, causing an untold number of casualties. The strikes came a day after troops loyal to Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi stormed the town of Bin Jawwad, just to Ras Lanuf’s west, and sent the fighters holding it into retreat. But the colonel’s loyalists remained on the city’s outskirts, taking no immediate steps to recapture Ras Lanuf from the rebels, who took control two days ago in their westward push.
WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The Supreme Court on Monday made it easier for inmates to sue for access to DNA evidence that could prove their innocence. The legal issue in the case was tightly focused, and quite preliminary: Was Hank Skinner, a death row inmate in Texas, entitled to sue a prosecutor there under a federal civil rights law for refusing to allow testing of DNA evidence in his case? By a 6-to-3 vote, the court said yes, rejecting a line of lowercourt decisions that had said the only proper procedural route for such challenges was a petition for habeas corpus. In her opinion for the majority, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg emphasized how narrowly the court was ruling. Allowing Mr. Skinner to sue, she said, is not the same thing as saying he should win his suit. Justice Ginsburg added that a 2009 decision, District Attorney’s Office v. Osborne, had severely limited the kinds of claims that prisoners who are seeking DNA evidence can make.

Heavy rain and ice jams lead to flooding PETERBOROUGH — Heavy rain in the southern part of the state led to flooding issues Monday, while more than a foot of snow fell in northern areas. Residents on Beauregard Street along the Sugar River in Claremont were evacuated when the river overflowed and left the road under more than 4 feet of water. Homes in the area are above that level and weren’t fl ooded, but offi cials said there was no way to get in and out of the homes because of the road flooding. In Newport, a couple was rescued by boat from their home on a private road. Emergency workers said they crossed about 500 feet of water that was about 4 feet deep to get to the home. In Hooksett, a Kmart on Londonderry Turnpike was closed because of fl ooding. Police said water was going into the store. The rain sent chunks of ice fl oating down some rivers, forming ice dams that sent water spilling onto roads. Old Sharon Road in Peterborough was flooded for about a mile when ice wedged under a bridge. The Department of Transportation sent in an excavator to break up the ice in what safety officials called a delicately timed operation. “Just a little bit at a time so we don’t The heavy rains Sunday and overnight created torrents of rushing water on
the Contoocock River. Complicating things for public works crews, there was more than one ice dam to deal with in Peterborough alone. John Kaufhold owns a business by the river and said he has been through this before. “(In 2007), we had about 2 feet of water where we’re standing,” he said. Kaufhold said ice jams Monday could spell trouble again. “By the dam in north Peterborough, we could get an ice jam and really clog things up,” he said. “The water level will rise fast behind the dam.” In Wilton, offi cials monitored an ice jam on Stoney Brook. They said water started to rise Monday morning near the downtown area, but the jam broke up, and water began to flow freely again. North of the White Mountains, a foot or more of snow fell since Sunday afternoon. Residents said they were running out of places to put the snow after all the storms this winter. Power outages were also reported across the state, especially in western areas and the Upper Valley. Public Service of New Hampshire reported about 3,400. New Hampshire Electric Coop reported about 3,200, while Unitil reported no outages. —Courtesy of WMUR

Urging voters not to abolish commission To the editor: Thank you to Daymond Steer who has written comprehensive and balanced articles on the issues facing Tamworth voters. Mr. Steer referred to my choking up during a public meeting at the thought of the Tamworth Conservation Commission being abolished. I did. Since 1966 the work of the volunteer members of the commission to protect the natural resources of the town has been recognized as exemplary at the local, regional and state levels. The current commission members function as a team, using their expertise
in biology, geology, engineering, septic design, computing and communication skills. Volunteers struggle to fi nd time to monitor land conservation easements held by the town. But somebody has to do it .The alternative could be expensive lawsuits. So, why would anyone want to derail a smoothrunning train? However, if Tamworth voters don’t like this crew, work through the democratic process to throw them off the train. But I urge Tamworth voters not to abolish the commission. John Mersfelder Tamworth
In support of Dan Rowe for school board To the editor: I am writing in support of the re-election of Dan Rowe to the school board. Dan has the qualifi cations, career and life experience that have helped steer the board in a clear direction towards fi scal responsibility, while at the same time being aware of the obligation to provide a quality education for Tamworth children. More now than ever we need his work and dedication. I am also supporting Jack Waldron for the other open
position on the board. He is impressively well educated and responsible with many talents, and I understand he has the best interests of our children at heart and intends to help provide them with a good education while at the same time being aware of his obligation to Tamworth taxpayers. Please join me in voting for Dan Rowe and Jack Waldron on Tuesday. Ann McGarity Tamworth
Willing to volunteer to help police, budget To the editor: I was watching the news the other day and a police chief from California was being interviewed. He was saying that because of the budget crisis the police department was using volunteers to relieve regular police of duties that could be assumed by others which in turn would free up regular
police officers to perform more important functions. I think this is a wonderful idea and I for one would be willing to donate one day a week for such a good cause.

I urge Tamworth voters against abolishing board, commission To the editor: I strongly urge Tamworth voters to vote against abolishing the planning board (at the polls, March 8) and the conservation commission (town meeting, March 9). If we do not like the people on these essential boards, or think they are not fulfi lling the duties carefully described for them, we can certainly not vote for them, or we can volunteer to do the work ourselves.
But we need these essential bodies to remain active in our township, partly because it is mandated by the state, and partly because it is mandated by common sense: they do careful and important work for all of us who live here. Please vote No on Article 4 on Tuesday at the polls. Vote No on Article 5 at town meeting on Wednesday evening. Peggy Johnson Tamworth

Tele-Talk
What for you is the biggest issue at this year’s town and school meetings? There were 29 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question: “for you is the biggest issue at this year’s town and school meetings?” Nine people said their top concern was spending and/or budget cuts; seven people said the school budget was their biggest issue, while four more talked about specific education issues. Five people said the police budget is the biggest issue. Three said planning and operation of town and school district. One said elections. My greatest concern is all of these school teachers who go to these meetings and as soon as they get their pay raises they leave. They don’t give a dam for this town except for themselves. I’ve been to every meeting and every year it’s the same thing: After their crowd votes in what they want, they leave. I certainly hope there’s a big turnout this time. We have nothing against teachers. The big problem is I have no insurance and I don’t want to lose my home. I have no benefits like they do. I wish they would be a little more conciliatory and just give in just once. Once again, wake up voters, run to the polls in April and vote out all of these bleeding heart people who can’t take no for an answer. What a great letter by Bill Aughton. He’s got Dot Seybold, and all the rest of them — Theresa Kennett, Ted Sares, Rhoda Quint. Let’s get rid of all the old meat since the ancestry of Conway and let’s get this great turnout of new people coming in there to blow the doors open on town hall. Let’s weed them all out. Let’s get the taxpayers some fi nal justice. How dare Paul Mayer — Stick your nose in Jackson and stay out of our business together with your Badgers. Stick your nose out of Conway. Concentrate on your town and your heavy taxes. You don’t pay one iota of taxes to Conway and yet you’re in the paper every other day in Conway and yet you’re in the paper every other day about trying to save the kids. The kids are fine. You don’t like the education in Conway, get your kid in private school. End of story. No is no. Now that the recession is over and the commercial real estate market has rebounded with plenty of jobs and retirement income in Happy Valley, it’s time to loosen our purse strings and spend money like it’s going out of style, which it probably is. Let’s just give everyone everything they ask for. They must really need it or they wouldn’t ask for it. And let’s enjoy our prosperity are you going to believe me or your lying eyes. I think the biggest issue this year is the Conway school system. And I think they ought to get rid of that Mrs. King and Mr. Moylan because neither one of them seems to be pulling off anything that’s helping the kids of the school. My name is Mary. We have a lot of big issues in this town. We have the school that wants a lot of money and we have the town of Conway asking for a lot of money. It’s time for us to rein in everything. I don’t know if your property taxes went up or not, but mine did. I think the police probably should have given that money back instead of spending so much on expensive equipment.
The biggest issue is the police department budget. They should keep the current dispatch system. I agree with the letter from Discount Beverage, Big Dave and Computer Port. The departments work great together, the police and the fi re, to protect property owners. My pet peeve is paying officers to watch as a backhoe digs a hole and the cruisers idle. Cut the fat. They wanted an increase of $85,147, plus they want $84,160 more. This doesn’t include the increase in the fuel consumption for the police cars. You’ve got to be kidding. This is Betty in East Conway. Well I guess if I was a teacher, I’d want to extract as much money as I could and I’ll go to the town meeting, even though I know it puts a burden on every citizen in the town of Conway. Most of the time I’m for education and the teachers, but this time things are so drastic, gas prices are going through the roof. Oil prices to heat your home are also going through the roof, and so are taxes. I hope, I just hope, that people show up at this one town meeting as much as it hurts me to say this to vote all of this school stuff down and the town stuff down — both meetings, the town and the school, especially the school. The $3 million school budget is way out of line for the average citizen. It was less than half only 10 years ago. And yet we have lost more pupils. We have fewer pupils there today than we did then. It’s not so much what a single teacher gets. The school administration, the superintendent and the principals, they have deliberately increased the number of employees to ensure themselves a vote. These are the people who are making a lot more than the teachers, closer to $100,000. A $3 million decrease in a $33 million budget is a drop in the bucket. And as usual, they tell parents that their kids will suffer if they don’t get the $33 million. How about telling the parents they will lose their homes if the budget is not reduced. The superintendent does not care. He along with his high salary moved to lower tax Bartlett years ago. The references made in your paper regarding SB2 are very misleading. The old time school and town meetings were lucky to have over 100 people. They went until 11 o’clock at night for two and three days. I was there so I should know. It was always the same people speaking up because most folks are too shy. Sure politicians were able to push through their agenda more easily. I can remember once the police chief sitting there staring at anyone who dared to vote against his demand for a new cruiser. Now that’s using an intimidation factor. All that was occurring when Conway had a lot fewer residents — and most of them were locals who knew each other. Conway now has more newcomers than locals. The locals were more prudent and had more common sense. The old type of meetings are no longer feasible. Where would you park and seat 8,000 people? Those who want to do away with SB2 and clamor for a return to the old times had better wake up. There is plenty of information available today if you want to know. I think we should be thankful to the citizens who volunteer to spend their time
preparing budgets. Those that attack them so viciously show their ignorance and their hate. My biggest issue with this year’s town meeting is with the police budget. Chief Ed Wagner says that their request for more money for a new officer is so important he had not yet considered the adjustments that will be needed for the gasoline budget due to escalating oil prices. The $84,000 to cover the costs of a new offi cer and increased medical costs is really more than we need to pay. When they ask for more money, this is ridiculous with the skyrocketing fuel prices. I’m concerned about the rising fuel prices, prices for various other departments for the 2012 budget. This fuel increase is a serious issue. Please refrain from excess spending. This is Barbara in Center Conway. The main issue for me is anything that will personally cost me a penny or more — anything that will take money out of my pocket is my main concern. And this is particularly in regard to the present regime that has infl icted us with pain at the gas pump, has threatened us with future horrendous tax increases, as well as the destruction of the health care system in this country which will cost us millions and we will have less services. So anything that adds to the cost of me just living in my home through higher property taxes I am very concerned about because I cannot afford to fi ll my car up with gas anymore. I will not be able to pay teachers an increased salary three times as high as mine or pay for their benefi ts that allow them to retire as kings and queens and bask in the sun of Florida. No. I’m interested in anything that will hurt my pocketbook. I’m calling on the police budget that they overspent last year and they want to get another $50,000 after they already spent the fi rst $50,000. They should have thought of that before they spent that money. If they needed that $50,000 they had it. I’m totally against issuing a new $50,000. I think it should come out of the commissioners salaries and the chief of police if they need that money, let them take it out of there. Let’s not burden the taxpayers again with monies they squanderly spent. They should have thought of that before they spent it. It isn’t just about this year’s town and school meetings and stuff. They’re so lost they do everything backwards. The snowplow throws the snow on the sidewalk, the sidewalk throws it back in the street, the street gets it, then they park in the road. And the school’s just as bad. The school put in somebody’s road, plumbing, electrical, everything. And everybody blamed the people for selling the land. It wasn’t the people’s fault. It was the idiot that bought it. That’s poor prior planning. This is Leon from Center Conway. People need to vote to end this madness of lack of streetlights. Someone’s going to get killed. Just try to go up bowling alley hill along the strip on a dark night. Someone is going to get hit. The blood will be on the hands of the selectmen. It needs to be changed. We need to save money other places. There are a number of issues that
bother me, including the greed of the police department. But one that particularly bothers me is how the members of the so-called education coalition will behave during the school deliberative meeting. I am almost afraid to attend because of the way they will try to “chill the atmosphere” and make it difficult for anyone with an opposing view to speak out. This was done years ago with Project Succeed but backfired when the voters said enough is enough and voted it down along with a host of other poorly presented programs and expenditures. These people seem to be single-minded and overly aggressive in what appear to be their somewhat unrealistic goals, unrealistic because they don’t seem to be aware of what is happening in elsewhere In the United States — in places like N.J., Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, and in Providence, R.I. where 2,000 teachers recently were fi red. So far, they also have displayed a highly troublesome lack of public civility, and seem totally uninformed and downright misleading in what they say. Hardly the kind of people I want to represent me. In fact, one of the coalition founders had to retract his statement about housing in Saturday’s Conway Daily Sun. How very pathetic is that? How very disheartening. Many of the coalition members have taken issue with what Bill Marvel has been writing, but on balance, this community owes Bill a big thank you for representing the taxpayer’s point of view, and by doing it with numbers and statistics, rather than with hysterics, insults and hyperbole. After all numbers don’t lie. Now if last Sunday’s special budget committee meeting is any indication, I dread to see how these coalition types will act at the deliberative meeting next Wednesday. Indeed, one, who also punctuated her acrimony with a letter to the editor on Saturday, actually insulted the committee and then, with toxic body language and facial expression, turned abruptly around and sat down. Another painted the entire committee with the same brush by saying how “shocked” she was of the committee, yet this same person had to quit the budget committee because it seemed she could not take the heat. Still another of these coalition members, who seems adept at taking comments out of context, said there were only four members on the committee. He likely failed math in high school because there are and were 10 members. Nice counting Brian Charles. Look, there is something very wrong when a group has picked sides BEFORE the nature of game to be played has been set forth. This is a no-win situation for the coalition and the taxpayers alike. To reiterate, the major issue for me at least is the tunnel vision and toxic behavior of the education coalition members. They have loaded the ballots this year. That strategy makes sense, but when a teacher’s husband and a cop’s wife are running to try to help gain control of the budget committee — there is good reason to be weary because their mind set has been cast in stone: to wit, spend. spend, and spend some more. A very disillusioned taxpayer. Far and away the most important see TELE-TALK page 11

To abolish boards is a vote for mayhem not freedom
A responsibility to maintain the beauty of Tamworth
To the editor: I will be voting against abolishing the Tamworth Planning Board and the Tamworth Conservation commission. I will vote yes to the proposed groundwater ordinance. There are very few things as satisfying and remarkable as really good drink of water. If you ever have the chance, try the water at Brass Heart Inn, it is truly outstanding. I do not take good water for granted. A few years ago I volunteered briefly on the Tamworth Master Plan committee. I got a very quick education about the quality and quantity of volunteer effort that goes on here. These neighbors and town citizens were giving enormous amounts of time and sincere effort to help get things done for Tamworth. I wonder at the notion that they should all be sent home for good with no real alternative offered. I’m pretty sure their families would rather see more of them. I read that Hart’s Location with a population of 36 people has a planning board. One volunteer citizen gives up
To the editor: I have been a resident of Tamworth for 23 years, a property owner in the area for many more. I believe this is one of the most beautiful regions in the state and that we must be everwatchful to keep it so. In all the years I have lived in Tamworth, I have found it to be a community that cares deeply — for its traditions, for its people, and for the environment. Giving credence to this statement are the many volunteers who give of their time and talent: to serve as trustees and Friends of our award-winning library, to be on the board of our nationally-recognized Community Nurse Association, to distribute food from the shelves of the Community Food Pantry or by Meals on Wheels, to provide transportation via Tamworth Caregivers, to plan
his time and energy to help others get their projects done. If we abolish our planning board does that mean everything goes down to Concord for approval? What advantage would that create? Wouldn’t it be more expensive and take forever and, of course, would there be fees? I would rather take my project down to town hall and go from there. Abolishing these two boards fails to meet the common sense test. I enjoy hunting in and around Tamworth. It is nice to know that I can hunt on land the conservation commission takes care of over near White Lake or in South Tamworth. There is a lot of beauty here. It is nice to know that land on the Swift River my grandfather gave to the town is still being watched over. What happens when the caretakers go home for good? There are some who say that we are somehow oppressed and need to assert our liberty. To me a vote to abolish these two boards is a vote for mayhem not freedom. Crosby Kennett Tamworth
I wish that Betty Steele and Peg King were here To the editor: I wish to voice my support for the existence of the Tamworth Planning Board and the Tamworth Conservation Commission. Knowing the current spectrum of opinion among my fellow citizens, I should not have been surprised at the moves to do away with these bodies, but I do not think I was alone in being taken off guard. It feels as if I am having to advocate for local democracy in New Hampshire, which I would never have thought necessary to do in my lifetime when I arrived to live and work here in 1993, having been visiting since the late 70s. When I came here, I was overjoyed to fi nd that local government was conducted in a manner close to what the English call “participatory democracy,” which they do not have but generally think a good idea. Don’t imagine that I am just a foreigner starry-eyed about town meeting — but my position parallels Winston Churchill’s dictum “Democracy is the worst form of government – except for all the others.” I also was impressed by the level of citizen involvement in many aspects of the management of town life, and foolishly assumed that local democratic mechanisms were universally thought to be a good thing. The planning board and the conservation commission are two different beasts, of course. The planning board is elected, and has powers. I like knowing who the members are, and knowing that if I go to argue my case at a meeting, I can look neighbors in the eye. And, of course, every year I can vote to throw one or two of the rascals out. The would-be demolition crew seem to think that they will be freer (liberty is a big word for them, a precious word which shouldn’t be bandied about) if they have to deal only with the state and
the federal laws, as they are proclaiming in their advertising. I fi nd this point of view strange in people I imagined would believe in local control. It doesn’t take much refl ection to realize that hostile or indifferent forces from outside are likely to be better placed to lever state and federal laws and agencies than we are, and that not having local watchdogs invites invasion. I confess to liking some aspects of “Not In My Backyard !” Does anyone really believe that we shall have more control of our town’s life if we have to go to law — or to Concord, or DC, or all three — to sort out our local diffi culties? But, as a newcomer, maybe I got it wrong, and some of my fellow citizens like being pushed around. To add to that a seeming desire for outright anarchy doesn’t exactly reinforce their case — among the sane, only those who have not experienced anarchy are likely to advocate it. The conservation commission is a horse of another color, being a toothless advisory body. The town shells out about fi ve grand a year for a group of people crazy — or passionate — enough to contribute vast amounts of volunteer time and expertise to conserve our wonderful natural environment. This works out at about 10 cents an hour for their dedicated, loving contribution. I thought we were supposed to be frugal, and to have an eye for a bargain. And, to reassure the paranoid: We don’t have to take their advice! I wish that Betty Steele (37 years a member) and Peg King (a cofounder) were here to face the forces of darkness at town meeting. Not easy to argue with those two. I’ll do my best, Betty, but I wish you were still with us! Richard Posner Tamworth
Tamworth Arts Council programs, or to organize historical society archival material and displays. The chief guardians of Tamworth’s environment, the planning board and the conservation commission, are now threatened by a few residents promoting an agenda of growth and development without regulation or restriction. I can only assume that they will sacrifice current environmental protection for personal gain. We must not let this happen. We have a responsibility to maintain the beauty of Tamworth for future generations to enjoy. Please vote yes on Article 2 in the Town Warrant (Groundwater Protection Ordinance), and no on Articles 4 and 5 (abolishing the planning board and the conservation commission). Thank you. Barbara Nordeen Tamworth
Replace Tamworth’s 1984 gravel and aquifer ordinance To the editor: As part of the ongoing effort to review and update town rules and regulations, the Tamworth Ordinance Review Committee has proposed replacing the town’s 1984 Gravel and Aquifer Ordinance. It’s is a three step process. First, last October the planning board adopted a new earth excavation regulation. Working with owner/operators of town gravel pits, the board developed a new town regulation based on RSA 155-E. Public hearings were held in August, September, and October. The town is now in compliance with state requirements for local regulation of gravel pits. The second step is warrant article 2, the groundwater protection ordinance. Based on better science and the new N.H. Department of Environmental Services model ordinance, it
focuses on those substances and activities that pose the highest risks, in the district including the aquifer and existing public water systems. There were public hearings held November, December and January. Local concern for water quality is not just theoretical. Based on DES compliance reports, in last four years there have been 54 times when public water systems in Tamworth violated maximum contaminant levels for tested substances. This ordinance is the step recommended by Department of Environmental Services to help locally protect our drinking water. The third step is warrant article 7, repeal of the 1984 Ordinance. To protect our health and public safety, I urge Tamworth to vote YES on warrant articles 2 and 7, to complete this process. David Little Tamworth
Allow good, hard work of planning board to continue To the editor: Is there a good reason to abolish Tamworth Planning Board or Tamworth Conservation Commission? If this were simply an academic exercise, to explore ideas about how a town is best served, it might be worth asking. Unfortunately, it is not a hypothetical question. Some residents have gotten enough signatures on a petition to force a vote to eliminate each of these committees. This is not a sensible, considered idea, and yet it has gained traction because it is based on an angry, irrational prem-
ise — that any and all regulation is bad — and the loudest voices are the ones that attract attention. I believe the majority of Tamworth voters do not have such a short-sighted view of their town’s future, but only if they come out to vote against these articles on March 8 and 9 will the angry minority be quieted. And then all the good, hard work the planning board and conservation commission have done for the town will be allowed to continue. Geoffrey Cunningham Tamworth
A short course in applied arithmetic for community? To the editor: There seems to be a need for a more reasoned approach to budget issues in our town. The latest example is the “unprecedented reduction in services if $50,000 isn’t reinstated in the police department’s budget.” That is a little less than $137 per day for the 365 day 24-7 year that we expect police coverage. Too much? At the same time we read, “Last year’s budget was so tight
that the department had $38 left to return.” Time was we would applaud such a balanced budget! Perhaps Kennett High School could offer a short course in applied arithmetic for the community or just break out the calculator, folks and see how these large annual numbers relate in everyday life.

Go out and vote no on all new regulations in Effingham To the editor: When is too much regulation and the heavy hand of the town councils too much. As they keep coming up with more dos and don’ts they in turn take more of our monies, freedoms and the right to prosperity. Now the town of Effi ngham wants more wetland, aquifer and farm amendments (laws), which will take more of your money, freedoms and the right to prosper with your lands. I have 111 acres with about 50 percent that are prime and wooded wetlands with 80 percent on an aquifer. The town already has wetland buffers which renders 15 to 20 acres of my land non-buildable that would be under state regulations. They want to increase their buffers to 100 feet for all wetlands over 3,000 square feet and prime wetlands at 150 feet. With that they would take another 15 to 20 acres of land, rendering them non-buildable. No roads, utilities or building, ever. They also propose to have your soil tested for hydric soils before building anything, to determine where your buffer will start. For a two-acre parcel that’s about $500. New regulations for storing all harmful chemicals, gas, fertilizer, etc., on aquifers, and what chemicals can be spread. If passed, a two-acre parcel can be considered a farm and make you follow best management practices when raising animals and growing crops. A zoning offi cer can request permission to come on you land and look for violations. A police offi cer has to know of a crime and or have a warrant to come on your land. Don’t seem right that a zoning offi cer can violate your privacy and police can’t. There are so many more proposed amendments that all of Effingham should read. Even if their buffers make your land unbuildable, your tax rate will still be the same. I see no need of any more regulations except for the town to increase permit fee revenues and take more of your hardearned money. Some may say that I’m over-imagining the harm of regulations but I beg to differ. I have another three parcels at about 350 acres off of a Class VI road that, even if brought up to a Class V road, the town won’t allow subdivisions or buildings due to the town’s fi rst zoning ordinances that the town proposed and pushed to be passed along with activist groups where one member of an unnamed group told me that they’re going to do all they can to keep all lights off of Green Mountain. They succeeded. There’s 350 acres, plus or minus that I have opened for recreation that’s in current use that I can’t do anything with
except what everybody else is able to do, which is to hike, hunt, or look at, short of dropping my trees (which I’ve already done) or farming. It’s just as if it was a conservation easement, except I didn’t get any money for it. There’s no need for any more regulations especially ones put together by conservation committees, volunteers as so stated by the planning board. It doesn’t make sense to me ho ordinary citizens of the town in apprenticeship seats on town counsels in the political arena who legislate regulations without a law degree, oppressing and affl icting hardships on its citizens. It could lead to a conflict of interest if a counsel member didn’t like their neighbor or what he’s doing to his land. We know conservation committees in bed with our counsels only agenda is to keep everything green. There are already problems with many clerical errors in our town hall as it is already, never mind adding more red tape to make matters worse. The president and Gov. LePage of Maine realize that over-regulations is a problem as well as lobbyists bottling up our system with their ill-gotten agendas from the federal level to our town halls. I believe in the saying history repeats itself, for I can feel the suffering and oppressive heavy hand of our government just like our forefathers did with the British lords who ruled over the provinces did, whose blood in our soils still cries for freedom. I dream of the same freedom of owning and prospering with lands and think of them, also about the heavy taxes. Unlike other nations, we can stop it all without bloodshed. We in this state can take back our town halls with RSA673:18, which gives us the right to abolish all the boards with 100 or more voters or 1/10 of the population of town signing a petition to be put on the ballot. We never were given the right to petition these amendments according to RSA 675.4, which had to be petitioned 120 to 90 days prior to annual meeting. They show off their new amendments to us only 50 days prior to election. Our Constitution was put in place with the intent to give Americans laws and rules to protect what we can do. With every new regulation, they’re throwing away our Constitution. Please don’t forget the blood that our forefathers shed to give us these rights with the war of Independence and the Civil War. Go out and vote no on all new regulations and don’t throw out the baby with the bath water. Kevin Deschenes Effingham

Keep an open mind on full-day kindergarten in Madison To the editor: I am writing in support of full-day kindergarten in the town of Madison. Investing in early childhood education is one of the best ways to give every child a chance at the American Dream. It is my understanding that the fi nancial impact to a tax payer who owns a $200,000 home is 88 cents. In a semi-annual payment that would be less than a 50 cent increase. Can we all afford to get our children full-day kindergarten for less than the price of a bottle of water? In Madison, we pride ourselves on progressively leading the valley in best educational practices and I hope we will continue to strive for excellence, for the sake of our children and the bigger community. I understand that public education is not for everyone and each child is an individual. While there are still families that have a stay-at-home parent, the vast majority of families are made up of two working parents. I am sure most stay at home parents provide enriching activities and experiences outside of school, unfortunately, those of us who work cannot. This gets me to the real reason for my letter. I often hear apprehension about full-day kindergarten come from stay at home moms. I understand a parent’s desire to let their kid be a kid and to want to spend as much time with them as possible. I get that. I envy the families that can afford to operate their families in a way that allows one to stay at home. The state understands this as well for although each district is mandated to provide kindergarten, students are not required to attend. I am not an advocate of not attending kindergarten, or only a half when a full day is offered but it is a parent’s choice. That choice, that right is not being taken away by Madison offering full-day kindergarten. On the flip side, if I as a parent desperately want my son to attend a full day program in a public school because it is what is best for him, I do not have the same right. I am without my first choice. In Ms. Nordlund’s March 2, letter she claims she and her friends think dismissing students midday would cause major disruptions to the class. That is incorrect. Midday for kinder-
garteners would consist of recess and lunch as it does for all students. Dismissal at these times would cause no disruption to the class or learning environment at all. Would the child leaving half day miss certain parts of the curriculum? Yes. I am sure these responsible parents would be doing all they could at home to educate them in these areas so as not to be behind in first grade. Ms. Nordlund also expresses her belief that all experiences are learning experiences for 5 year olds and they can learn just as much from free play not being in an “institution” like public schools but at home. What Ms. Nordlund doesn’t tell you is free choice is practically nonexistent in a half-day program. There are very few opportunities for recess either. In a full-day program students would have daily opportunities for free play, recess, snack and lunch, all important learning times for socialization with peers of the same and differing ages. In closing, I do not want to take the right of any parent to keep his/ her kindergartener home for a whole or half day if they see fi t. Offering a full-day program does not do that. I fi nd it callous that Ms. Nordlund would imply that full-day kindergarten is in the best interest of parents only, not the child. If eliminating the daily struggle of arranging for transportation to or from school in the middle of my work day and eliminating the worry I have as a mom about who will be able to take care of my son while I am at work and he is not in school is being selfish then I plead guilty. Is that something I should apologize for? Who would begrudge me or other parents like me that small bit of peace of mind? I implore all voters in Madison to keep their minds open and consider both sides of this debate carefully. If you are interested in more research please call Madison Elementary School at 367-4642 or go to the website www.madison.k12.nh.us. I hope you will fi nd it in your hearts to give all students in Madison the best possible educational experience by providing full-day kindergarten. Please join me in voting yes on 8 on March 8th.

In small town politics your vote counts for more
A widening gap between the ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’
To the editor: Reminder to the citizens of Effingham. Today, Tuesday March 8, is voting day. Please remember to try and make every effort to vote. In small town politics your vote counts more than a larger election. If there is a small turnout of voters your vote may very well effect the outcome. This is why I encourage everyone strongly to get involved. After
To the editor: As we look around us we see a widening gap in our society between the “haves” and the “have-nots.” The “haves” are those under appreciated workers in the public sector at all levels and the “have nots” are the unlimited funding source for all of the public sector employees. It is only right that they have all levels of health care and a very generous retirement plan for you would not like to have them struggle through their extended retirement period [they quite often retire earlier than the private sector can] on a bare subsistence plan like Social Security. Most public sector plans are fi xed benefi t plans which even modestly successful public sector companies like IBM can no longer afford in our world-wide competitive markets. Social Security is an entitlement for the old and indigent, definitely not the most productive group among our population. The ever alert public sector created an elastic measuring stick for determining the “cost of living adjustment” [COLA] by removing certain key groups of items way back in 1998 like food and energy. This, over time, has kept this long-standing measure at a very low rate. Public sector groups have, in the meantime, gradually shifted and manipulated their contracts/practices to be untied from this now inaccurate measure of infl ation in the interest of fairness to be some higher value. The public sector has now become so emboldened as to discontinue the COLA for a year for the old and indigent [the Social Security group). The private sector market baskets are
all, this is all of our futures that we are deciding on. There are many countries in the world fi ghting for the freedoms that we have had for so long that we sometimes forget and take for granted. God Bless America. Dan Sinapius for planning and zoning boards. Dan Sinapius Effingham
Asking residents to vote for Spencer for selectman To the editor: I would like to ask my fellow residents of the town of Effi ngham to vote for Henry Spencer for town selectman. Henry has been actively involved in the “doings” in town for as long as I have known him. I have owned my home in Effi ngham for over 14 years and he has been a taxpayer longer. On several occasions I have spent time talking with Henry about his concerns for the town and
what his ideas would be. He has pride in the town we live in and I feel he would do an excellent job as selectman. He keeps us in the loop with what is going on in the town through his column in The Conway Daily Sun. I live “in” Effingham, but Henry lives “for” Effingham. Let’s all get out and vote for Henry Spencer for our selectman. Jan Graham Effingham
I see need for trustees to apply planning, effort, caring To the editor: I am running for a position on the Effingham library’s board of trustees. I have previously served on the board in 2000 as chairman of the trustees for six years. When I fi rst started on the board the library offered few services, the book collection was in poor shape,the library was open a few hours a week and was under utilized. During my tenure as a trustee, the library transformed from this small collection of books into a living part of our community offering free high speed Internet access, a children’s book room with a library director and a children’s’ librarian, separate reading and book rooms, actual programing for the community, the number of issued library cards rose consistently, use of the library by residents increased exponentially and offered to the community a vibrant and functioning use of one of Effi ngham’s crowning historical buildings. I took part in the formation of the Friends of the Effi ngham Library group which plays a very important role in raising funds to support the various needs of the library so the budget to be raised by taxes is as low as possible. While a trustee I spent considerable energies in convincing the budget committee, selectmen and voters at town meetings the value a library has for its community and made certain the trustees insured the worth of the monies raised from Effi ngham taxpayers. My efforts with that of others proved successful. I do take a certain degree of pride in knowing that my efforts were a critical part in helping Effi ngham’s library to be what it is today. But the proof of any effort like this is seeing if it can sustain itself without the driving force of those who founded it and for the last few years I have been happy to simply utilize its services as a card holding member of the Effingham Library. I know how important a single dollar is to residents of Effi ngham and I am committed to making sure our tax dol-
lars are spent wisely and effectively. Our library now has a substantial budget, representing one of the largest portions of Effi ngham’s discretionary spending and I once again see the need for the board of library’s trustees to apply a degree of planning, effort, caring, and oversight I am well fi t to give. I will take the responsibility to ensure that every penny of value raised through taxes is utilized to the fullest extent and to ensure that the people of Effingham can look to what they have achieved in funding our library with pride. There are on going projects that need to be guided in the right direction to insure the use and functionality continue to meet the needs of the towns people. I see the library as the heart of the town where people can gather with friends, children can grow and learn, classes can take place, programs for people of all ages can enrich lives. I have the pleasure of working with one particular program, writers night, which has gained high praise and standing in the library community. People come from all over to attend and the one thing that is an ever present constant is how warm and welcome every one that attends feels when they walk in the door. That happens time and time again and is a testament to the commitment I and others have to make sure that is always the case. This library program has been a very important part of the library since is conception and has a large and faithful following as well as a proven reputation in the library community. Another thing I felt was important to the community six years ago was a place for our artist to show case their work. Thus, once a month people can hang their pieces and share them with everyone that uses the library. I love the library and want it to continue to grow and provide as many services for our people as we can in the most cost effective way possible. Thank-you for your consideration. Maureen S Spencer Effingham
shrinking, not drastically but signifi cantly. The public sector racked-up up two years of 9-plus percent gains plus benefits to keep pace. That scam worked so well let’s do a second year of no COLA for that Social Security bunch of free-loaders and start a national outcry about how entitlements for others are breaking the fiscal bank of the country. Why these indigents and old folks will run out of money to fund their benefi ts. Doomsday will be upon us in a couple of years to 34 years away. In point of fact, FICA [social security funding] has been regularly collected from the private sector employees and their employers [7-plus percent each/ year to an evergrowing maximum] and deposited in a “trust” fund. This fund has been regularly raided by the feds to “balance” their outrageous expenditures. Highway trust funds have also been raided earning us a “zero” on infrastructure maintenance. In total these borrowings total about 45 Trillion dollars of FICA and gas tax trust funds. These guys have no scruples, conscience or any sense of transparency to the guy in the street. The private sector is getting fed-up with public sector entitlements and unfairness to the private sector. We have very quickly drawn the battle lines and they have never been so clearly defi ned. Town meetings and school meetings are upon us and where the grass roots actions can have a positive effect. Get out and vote as if you were personally paying the bill because you are or will be plus interest! Henry F. Villaume Intervale
No more cops, no more money, tighten your belt To the editor: Has anyone read the 2009 town report? If not, turn to the page where the police report is. I think you’ll fi nd it very interesting. The fi rst thing you read in bold numbers is the total number of calls. I don’t have the book in front of me, but if memory serves me, it’s around 74,000 calls. But if you read more closely, you’ll fi nd that number is deceiving. Out of that 74,000, about 16,000 calls were Project Good Morning, which is only making a phone call. Is this a necessary service? Yes. But it’s a service that could be done by staff or someone affiliated with the Gibson Center. I’m sure you could find a senior who would be glad to help out. After all, it’s only a phone call to check out the welfare of independent seniors. If something were wrong, the person making the phone calls could easily take the appropriate action. Next is the police presence at fire and ambulance calls. Is this really necessary? Unless it is a traffi c accident or some other call where police are actually needed. It’s a waste of taxpayer money. If the fi re department or the ambulance company need the police they can call them, they should not just show up.
Third, they include administrative duties, such as people reporting lost items, or phone calls to answer questions. Come on. How can you include that in police calls? I know how. So you can justify adding more officers. Fourth, just how many new patrol cars and SUVs do you need? I count no less than three new SUVs and two new cruisers. In an economy like ours, I think the police need to be more frugal. I guess my point is this: Out of 74,000 calls (from my memory of my math) about 19,000 calls were actually true or needed services. Personally I don’t think Perley will be happy until there are only tourists and police in this town. If you want criminal activity quelled, retrain your offi cers to do a better job. Maybe what you need is not more police offi cers, but better trained ones. I, for one, would be willing to foot the bill for that. No more cops, no more money. Tighten your belt like everyone else in this community, and make do with what you have. I would be very interested to wee what towns Perley compared us to. Jim Ostroff Conway

tee may have acted illegally. Town attorney Peter Malia, however, sided with the budget committee. Voters Wednesday will have the last say. They will determine what fi gure will appear on the ballot when the voting portion of school meeting happens April 12 at the Conway Community Building in Center Conway from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Under Municipal Budget Law (Section 32:18), a 10 percent rule applies at deliberative meetings for town and school. The legislative body can only increase or decrease the budget committee’s recommended figure by a maximum of 10 percent either up or down. On Wednesday, citizens could choose to restore all but 1 percent of the budget committee’s recommended cut or could go the other direction cutting a maximum of 21 percent from the budget. The default budget, which would kick in if the regular budget fails, is
$33,275,846 — $190,473 more than what was 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).” Nelson isn’t sure if the 11 percent cut budgeteers are recommending would apply to the default budget. “That’s a question that has not yet been answered,” he said by phone Monday. “We don’t know if the 10 percent rule stays in effect or not, nor does the DRA (Department of Revenue Administration), who has said it would bring this to the New Hampshire Attorney General for a ruling because something like this has never happened before.”

They added $97,300 to the police budget to cover another police offi cer, insurance changes, gasoline and heating oil expenses, and $82,210 to the town budget to keep the transfer station open on Sundays and to cover rising diesel and heating costs. Those increases push the town’s proposed 2011 operating budget up to just shy of $9 million, $69,656 more than the 2010 operating budget, eliminating the $109,854 in savings selectmen had found over the last year. Budget committee chair David Sordi asked the police department what would happen to any money left over at the end of the year if there was a surplus. “The police commission will have a discus-
sion about what line items should be spent,” commissioner Theresa Kennett said. Sordi had raised concerns that the police department might lose all its request by lumping its oil and gas request with the officer request, but the addition had no problem passing in a secret ballot, almost twothirds in favor.
The secret ballot for the transfer station funding also passed without trouble. The town’s gas and oil request was almost unanimous in a public vote. This was the last opportunity to change the budget without calling a special meeting. The budget will appear with the changes on the ballot on voting day, April 12.

Kennett returning to the Eagles are headed back to Frozen Four; eye Alvirne the Final Four Thursday BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — The Kennett High ice hockey team is back in the Frozen Four. The current two-time defending state champs are now just two more wins away from a three-peat. The third ranked Eagles played disciplined hockey and made the most of their opportunities to skate past No. 6 Hollis-Brookline 4-2 at Ham Ice Arena in the opening round of the Division II playoffs Saturday night before over 400 spectators. Kennett led 3-0 when the visiting Cavaliers netted a pair of goals in the final two minutes to make things interesting. Senior, captain Logan Spoor secured the win for the home side, picking up a loose puck outside
the blue line and skating in to tuck the puck into the empty net with 11 seconds to play. It was Spoor, who two weeks earlier clinched the points for KHS when he netted the game-winner at Hollis-Brookline with 10 seconds left in a thrilling 3-2 win. “Hollis-Brookline is a great team,” Michael Lane, Eagles’ head coach, said. “They’ve got a lot of heart and we knew they wouldn’t go away quietly. (Laughing) I’m not going to lie, it got a little too close at the end. It was nice to see Logan cap his home ice career and close it out for us. “… I think we showed a nice level of composure,” he continued. “We had a lot kids who were playing in their first see KENNETT page 19

CONWAY — And then there were four. The Kennett High girls basketball team has advanced to the Final Four in the Division II playoffs. The Eagles, behind a record-setting crowd at The Nest Friday, toppled No. 6 ranked Oyster River, 66-41, to move on to semifinals. The crowd was not the only record on the night. There were two others. Melissa Frase became the 11th Eagle to reach the 1,000 career point milestone (see related story) midway through the fourth quarter. She needed two for the mark and drew nothing but net on a three-pointer to get to 1,001 points and received
a lengthy standing ovation from the flock. Just a few seconds later fellow all state guard Allie Wagner drained a three-pointer of her own from a several feet behind Frase’s mark for a single-game record nine three-pointers. She finished with a career-high 37 points, just six off Larry Day’s all-time mark of 43 points set in 1981. Kennett, the No. 3 seed, was scheduled to play No. 2 Lebanon, who it beat for the state championship last March in the semifi nals, Monday, but the game was postponed to Thursday due to bad weather. It is now scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at Southern New Hampshire University see EAGLES page 20

Melissa Frase for three and into the 1,000 point club BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Calling it the toughest 12 points she’s ever scored, Melissa Frase is the newest member of the 1,000 Point Club at Kennett High School. The talented senior came into Friday’s quarterfi nal contest at The Nest against visiting Oyster River needing just a dozen points to reach four digits. She didn’t have one of her better shooting nights and every shot she took was followed by oohs and aahs from the record crowd that turned out to will her to the milestone. see FRASE page 18

FRASE from page 17
Frase let the points come to her, not forcing the action against the Bobcats. In fact, she handed out six assists in the fi rst half while pulling down four defensive rebounds, all factors in helping the Eagles pull away from Oyster River on the scoreboard. A giant poster hung at one of the court highlighting the Frase Countdown to 1,000. With each point, a new number was revealed, letting folks know the next target. The poster sat on 12 until the final shot of the first half. Frase converted a lay-up at the buzzer to put the Eagles in front 35-20 and moved to an even 10 points from 1,000. In the third quarter, Frase trimmed away at the target. With 3:12 to play in the period she made one of two free throws to move within nine. With 40 seconds left in the quarter she went to the charity stripe again and uncharacteristically made one of two shots to pull within eight. She wasn’t happy with the two misses. Frase went to the sidelines briefly in the third quarter where she had a surprise visitor — fellow 1,000 pooint scorer Kristen Umlah, who came out of the bleachers to offer her a few words of encouragment. “I said you’ve got to smile and have fun,” Umlah said. “She kind of shrugged and I said, ‘Melissa, look at me and smile.’ She gave me a big grin. I hope it relaxed her a little.” Frase returned to convert a runner in the lane to close out the third period to put KHS in front 54-31 and move within six points over her own milestone. With the outcome of the game determined by this point, the focus was on Frase and the poster on the wall. With 7:07 to play she scored on a drive to the hoop to pull within four points. With 6:32 left, Frase hit a jumper from the left side to get the magic number to two. With 5:59 to play, Frase got the ball at mid-court, took four dribbles, stopped and popped from beyond the three-point line. SWISH! The perfect shot drew nothing but the bottom of the net with 5:57 to play. Fans unfolded 1,000 point banners and everyone — Oyster River fans included — gave her a thunderous ovation. Mission accomplished. “I thought it would come on a free throw,” Frase said, smiling. “The three was nice. It felt good when I shot it.” Frase is the fi rst Eagle to score her 1,000th point on a three-pointer. She left the game seconds after the shot to another ovation. “I think she’s been under a great deal of pressure what with the injury (she was sidelined earlier this

season recovering from a summer knee surgery) and rehabbing to get back to help us,” Peter Ames, Eagles’ head coach, said. “She’s worked so hard it’s nice to see her do it at home. Melissa and Allie (Wagner) are very deserving of all the accolades. Not only are they great players, but they’re great kids, too.” “I knew she’d get it tonight,” Wagner, who scored her 1,000 point in the state semifinals last year, said smiling. “We were going to make sure it happened at home.” Frase joins quite a list of basketball royalty. In the 88 years that Kennett High has been in existence, just 11 Eagles have accomplished a rare feat — scoring 1,000 points on the basketball court for their school. The 1,000 Point Club members are: Debbie Russell Parsons, graduated in 1989, scored 1,872 points. Allie Wagner, will graduate this June, has scored 1,500 points and counting. Jeff Perry, graduated in 1990, scored 1,278 points. Erin Russell, graduated in 1994, scored 1,270 points. Kristen Umlah, graduated in 1999, scored 1,203 points. Alison MacDonald, graduated in 1994, scored 1,153 points. Larry Day, graduated in 1982, scored 1,042 points. Trevor MacDonald, graduated in 1998, scored 1,040 points. Abe Wrobleski, graduated in 1995, scored 1,020 points. Roger Blanchard, graduated in 1970. scored 1,013 points. Melissa Frase, will graduate this June, has scored 1,001 points and counting.

playoff game and they stepped up and answered the call. They kept their wits and didn’t get rattled. I think we’ve got to learn to play with a lead a little better. We know we’re going to get everyone’s best efforts and have to be prepared to handle that.” Kennett took the lead for good with 6:04 to play in the fi rst period on a strike from close range by junior Kevin Murphy. Chuckie Smith created havoc on the left side of the net, stealing the puck and then put an initial shot on net. The rebound came to Murphy who made no mistake. The Eagles had two other solid chances a couple of minutes apart on nice bids from Nick Massa on a breakaway and then Murphy on a wicked slap-shot. Both efforts drew nice saves from junior goalie Jake Hahnl, who finished with 28 saves on the night. Hahnl could do nothing when sophomore Dillon Smith lit the lamp with
2:09 to play in the opening period. Smith got the puck on the left and went in and uncorked a shot that flew into the back of the net for a 2-0 Kennett advantage. Chris King and Dan Rivera picked up assists on the play. Kennett carried the play in a scoreless second period. “If the puck had bounced our way in the second period we could have been up by four or fi ve goals,” Lane said. “I thought we did a lot of things well in the second.” With 3:38 top play it looked like Massa put the icing on the victory cake before a large, enthusiastic crowd. Spoor unleashed a slap-shot that Massa neatly re-directed past the helpless Hahnl. The Cavaliers refused to go quietly though and took advantage of a powerplay opportunity with 2:09 left. Jonny Parkhurst, who was once again rock solid between the posts, made two inisee KHS page 21

KHS athlete/parent track meeting is this afternoon CONWAY — There will be a mandatory meeting of all students and their parent/guardian who plan on participating in track and fi eld this spring on today from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the cafeteria at Kennett High School. Coach Bernie Livingston will review the student activated code, the team schedule and other information with regard to the season, which begins the March 21. Athletes are reminded they need to have proof of a physical on file at the school and also must be academically eligible in order to participate. “We’ve had a lot of interest in spring track,” Livingston said, Thursday. “I’ve been very pleased by the number of athletes who have signed up so far. I think we’ll see even more over the next couple of days.”
ing. “He logged a lot of ice time and didn’t mind one bit. He’s all about team. I joked with him that he’s like a yo-yo always up and down going 100 miles an hour. He gives you everything he has every time he takes the ice.” In first round action Saturday: No.1 Somersworth defeated No. 8 John Stark, 6-2; No. 5 Pelham-Windham upset No. 4 Belmont-Gilford, 5-4; No. 2 Alvirne defeated No. 7 Kearsarge, 5-0; and No. 3 Kennett topped No. 6 Hollis-Brookline, 4-2. The semifi nals are scheduled for tomorrow at the Everett Arena in Concord at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. Kennett will play in the 5:30 p.m. contest against Alvirne while Somersworth gets Pelham-Windham in the nightcap. Kennett (14-3-1) beat Alvirne (16-3) on the road
4-2 on Jan. 5. “That was a long time ago,” Lane said. “Alvirne is a very good squad, we’ll have a big test in front of us. I think they’re similar to Hollis-Brookline but they’re probably a little deeper and can run three and four lines at you all night. We won 4-2 down there when Jonny (Parkhurst) played out of his mind in net. “We’re two pretty evenly matched teams,” he continued. “The key for us is we need to get more pucks on net. A lot of times in the playoffs, the goals are ugly and come out of nowhere. ... This will be our first time in Everett Arena where we will be the lower seed and in the smaller dressing room. We’ll have to come ready to play and stayed disciplined for three periods.”

By Holiday Mathis mum connection and closeness with a minimum expenditure. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There is much to do, and you can accomplish all of it if you put your mind to it. Avoid using your time in any way that could be considered passive or even debilitating. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will get in better communication with your body. It is always talking to you, but lately you’ve been too busy or preoccupied to listen to its messages. Tune in for a boost to your health. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ). Someone says it can’t be done. You’ll be the fi rst to fi nd a way to prove them wrong. You will see past stereotypes, break the rules and do things in a way they have not been done before. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll spend a good amount of your energy on relationship building. This is done mostly by getting to know people -- especially those you have already known for ages. PISCES (Feb. 19 -March 20). The child within you needs to break out and play. Arrange for an extended “recess.” Better yet, arrange for nothing. Spontaneously fl ee your tired scene in search of great fun. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 8). It’s your year for promotion, and not just at work. You’ll rise to new levels of energy, vitality, social prominence and romantic desirability. You’ll be faced with a delicious dilemma. You’ll add to your skill set in April. A kindred soul makes you laugh through the spring. August brings a windfall. You connect with Gemini and Cancer people on many levels. Your lucky numbers are: 38, 21, 24, 17 and 41.

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are bigger than your various roles in life, such as your job, family position and place within the community. An anchor of your identity may be temporarily uprooted, but this will not change the essence of who you are. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Much of what comes your way will not appear to help your bottom line. However, it all contributes handsomely to your big picture. Accept the day’s gifts graciously. They are meant for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Protect your comfort and health by spending additional time preparing and planning for the day. Note: You will be physically more sensitive than usual. Avoid oily, spicy foods. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There will be a redistribution of goods and services. Perhaps you lack something that your friend has plenty of -- so ask for help. You have something your friend needs, too. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sign up for a creative task. It will be easy for you to come up with bright ideas. You don’t have to start from scratch, either. First look to the past to explore what has worked thus far, and then add your own twist. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Take a hard look at your beliefs about what your role is supposed to be in your family. Those ideas will have to expand and change to fi t the new exciting era you and yours will be entering in the months to come. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

On this date: In 1782, the Gnadenhutten (jih-NAY’duhn-huh-tuhn) massacre took place as more than 90 Indians were slain by militiamen in Ohio in retaliation for raids carried out by other Indians. In 1854, U.S. Commodore Matthew C. Perry made his second landing in Japan; within a month, he concluded a treaty with the Japanese.

In 1930, the 27th president of the United States, William Howard Taft, died in Washington at age 72. In 1944, two days after an initial strike, U.S. heavy bombers resumed raiding Berlin during World War II. In 1960, Democrat John F. Kennedy and Republican Richard M.

In 1971, Joe Frazier defeated Muhammad Ali by decision in what was billed as “The Fight of the Century” at Madison Square Garden in New York. Silent Film comedian Harold Lloyd died in Beverly Hills, Calif., at age 77. In 1988, 17 soldiers were killed when two Army helicopters from Fort Campbell, Ky., collided in mid-flight. One year ago: President Barack Obama made a spirited, shirt-sleeved appeal for passage of health care legislation during a visit to Arcadia University in Pennsylvania.

ROUGH PLAY CAUSES PAINFUL INJURY TO LOVING FAMILY PET
DEAR ABBY: My 9-year-old son’s friend “Isaac” was over for a visit. He was captivated by our Labrador retriever, “Layla,” who is very loving. Isaac doesn’t have a dog, so he wanted to play with Layla. At one point, I overheard him say to my son, “Look, I’m riding your dog!” I immediately intervened, but I was too late. A day or so later, Layla was unable to descend our stairway and was clearly in pain. She has been on pain medication for three weeks and is growing progressively worse. The next step is to get X-rays and/or an MRI to see if she has a spinal injury, and then determine her treatment. It’s possible the damage is irreversible. My wife and I are extremely upset about this, but we’re afraid to tell our son or Isaac and his parents for fear it will place undue guilt on a 9-year-old boy. On the fl ip side, I wouldn’t want him to do this to anyone else’s beloved pet. How do you recommend we proceed? -- HEARTBROKEN IN NEW YORK DEAR HEARTBROKEN: Children are not mind-readers. If you don’t tell them when they make a mistake, they won’t realize they have made one. Contact Isaac’s parents and explain what happened. If your dog needs treatment, they should be responsible for whatever damage their son did. DEAR ABBY: The other day I was with a friend who is a bit overweight. We were trying on clothes in one of the stores. She grabbed a shirt she was sure she could fi t into, but when she tried it on, it ripped. She had to pay for it. On the ride home my friend asked me, “Am I fat?” I was at a loss, so I told her no. What should I have done? I feel horrible for lying, but I didn’t know what else to do. -- LOST FOR WORDS
DEAR LOST FOR WORDS: You could have replied, “What size was the shirt?” And when she answered, you should have said, “I guess you’re a size or two larger.” It would have been more tactful than saying she was fat, and gotten the point across. DEAR ABBY: My wife and I recently attended the funeral of a friend’s father. During the sermon I noticed tears in our friend’s eyes and offered her my handkerchief. On the way home, this sparked a conversation about the obligation of a person who receives a handkerchief. Should it be returned after the event, or should it first be laundered? Or is it considered a gift, not to be returned at all? Later that evening at a movie, I noticed a woman hand someone her handkerchief saying, “It’s monogrammed. It was my mother’s.” No mention was made of a request that it be returned. I’m sure most people wouldn’t mind letting go of a standard handkerchief, but one with sentimental value would be different, wouldn’t it? What do you suggest? -REAL MEN CARRY HANDKERCHIEFS DEAR REAL MAN: You were chivalrous to offer your handkerchief to the grieving daughter. Had it merely been used to dab away a tear, it could have been returned to you at the end of the service. If, however, there was makeup on it -or the dab was followed by a swipe of her nose -- the woman should have held onto it, laundered it and returned it to you in the presumably pristine condition it was in when you gave it to her. As to the monogrammed (heirloom) hanky you saw lent in the theater, when the woman explained its signifi cance to her friend, that was the tip-off that she expected it to be returned.

Get out to vote and go to town meeting Today is voting day and town meeting day. Make sure to get out and vote between the hours of 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Remember that it is our privilege to vote in a free society, so don’t give up that opportunity. All day long you will be able to purchase wonderful treats baked by Eaton townspeople to raise money for the Eaton Community Circle’s Scholarship Fund. Thank you, Sunni, in advance for your fabulous coffee cake. Drop your goods off by 11 a.m. if possible, priced and packaged. Everyone, make sure to buy some delicious food. The school meeting will be held at 5 p.m. Please make it a point to be there, especially if you have kids in the school system. We desperately need a new school bus, and you can hear all about it at the meeting. Bring your questions and make sure to vote. The town meeting begins promptly at 8 p.m. with Moderator Paul Hennigan presiding. Paul runs a very organized and orderly meeting, allowing everyone to speak in order. This is true democracy in action, so be sure to attend your town meeting. Before you vote, you need to know that there will be some write-in people running for various offices as well as those on the ballot. Sandy Thoms is running for selectman for a three-year term; Carol Mayhofer is running for town treasurer; Bob Bridgham is running for school board treasurer. Keep these people in mind so that you may vote for them if you choose. I hope we have a good turnout all day long. You must save Sunday, March 13, for Phil Kelly’s “Send Off Party,” at the Stone Mountain Arts Center from 4 until around 8 p.m. Pizza and salad will be served at the beginning of the night, with a cash bar all evening. Edith Dashnau has a photo board, and everyone is encouraged to bring pictures and memories of Phil. Carol has written a special song for Phil, too,
which should be great. People will have an opportunity to share short stories or jokes with Phil and talk about working at Eaton Village Store. This party includes everyone who worked with or for Phil at Eaton Village Store. Reminder: this is open to anyone who wants to celebrate with Phil. We will end with cake to celebrate our years of fun and laughter with Phil Kelly. For more information, please contact Jennifer Kovach at 447-2676 or Sandy Thoms at 447-3417. Remember what I said last week: this should be the party of the year. Willie Hatch and Kristen and Karli Burnell have had a great first week as the new proprietors of the Eaton Village Store. This morning I had sausage and gravy over homemade biscuits and home fries…delicious. Most of your favorites are still on the menu, but Willie has added more items to choose from. Try the homemade quiches, or the pig scramble, or the Eggs Benedict, or the chicken breast sandwich. You will most certainly not be disappointed with your meal, whatever you choose. Come on in and introduce yourselves to Willie, Kristen, daughter Karli, and son Chester. You will enjoy them as much as your meal. Welcome them warmly and wish them good luck. I was very saddened to learn that Nancy Worcester, a long-time Eaton resident had passed away. She was funny and witty, like her husband Jim. If you wanted her opinion, she would give it freely, and I respected that. Terry and I were always kidding her when she would come in for her mail and have lunch at Eaton Village Store, and she kidded us right back. I will miss her smile and her warmth and her wit very much. The service will be held on Thursday, March 10, at 11 a.m. at Christ Episcopal Church at 16 Pine Street in North Conway. A reception and luncheon will follow at Thompson House Eatery in Jackson, where her
son-in law Hoke Wilson is a chef. Nancy’s daughter Claudia Wilson and their family are so well known and liked in this town I hope you will all come to greet them. As Claudia put it in her message to many of us, “If Nancy doesn’t have as big a turnout as Jim, she’ll be mad, and we all know from experience that we don’t want that.” That sure sums it up, Claudia. I’m very sorry for your loss and her presence will be greatly missed in this town. My love goes out to all her family. Don’t forget to mark down Friday, March 11, for Don Gemmecke’s opening of his photography exhibit at the Cook Memorial Library in Tamworth Village, from 3 to 5 p.m.. Refreshments will be provided. His exhibit will be on display through the end of April and it has lots of Eaton scenes. Many of you have seen his stunning photographs in the Function Room at Eaton Village Store. Have you signed up yet with Mary Lou Dow to get fi t and in shape for spring and summer? “A Better Body” welcomes you to come and train with Mary Lou and learn how to eat right. You will also have fun in this fi tness program that has been successful for years. Call today at 447-1824. Have you been longing to hear Devonsquare? Well, you are in luck. This Thursday, March 10, Alana MacDonald, Tom Dean, Teg Glendon and Robby Coffi n will be playing a gig in Wolfeboro in the Winnipesaukee Ballroom at the Wolfeboro Inn. Call 5699890 for tickets. Many of us have gone to the Devonsquare/Schoonerfare Reunion in Portland, Maine, almost every year. This is the 27th Reunion, held in the Gold Room in Portland on Friday, March 11. This gig is so much fun…don’t miss it. The Don Campbell Band will also be joining them, and they just sing away and sing right into your heart.
