office, voters decide Tuesday whether the budget committee should be stripped of its statutory authority and will weigh in on two articles with staffing implications for the police department. The budget committee articles — 34 and 35 — came as the result of petitions circulated by selectman Michael DiGregorio, school board member Syndi White and budget committee members Betty Loynd
learning about bills proposed in Concord that could reduce the ability of the voters to change the budget after the budget committee approves it. The bills have not made it into law, but DiGregorio said his concern is the voters would not have the power to undo a decision of the budget committee if they did not agree with it. see TOWN page 9

CONWAY — Do your homework before entering the voting booth — that’s the best advice from town clerk Rhoda Quint. She fears the unprepared voter may be in the booth for a long time with over 55 warrant articles to be decided Tuesday. “Everyone who has come in with an absentee ballot has commented on just how long it takes to vote,” Quint said, Monday afternoon. “With 35 articles on the town ballot and 21 on the school it takes so long to complete.” see VOTING page 9

The Iceberg was only part of it
(NY Times) — What doomed the Titanic is well known, at least in outline. On a moonless night in the North Atlantic, the liner hit an iceberg and disaster ensued, with 1,500 lives lost. Now, a century after the liner went down in the early hours of April 15, 1912, two new studies argue that rare states of nature played major roles in the catastrophe. The first says Earth’s nearness to the Moon and the Sun — a proximity not matched in more than 1,000 years — resulted in record tides that help explain why the Titanic encountered so much ice, including the fatal iceberg. And a second, put forward by Tim Maltin, a Titanic historian from Britain in his new book, “Titanic: A Very Deceiving Night,” contends that the icy waters created ideal conditions for an unusual type of mirage that hid icebergs from lookouts and confused a nearby ship as to the liner’s identity, delaying rescue efforts for hours. Scholars of the Titanic, as well as scientists, are debating the new theories. Some question whether natural factors can outweigh the significance of ineptitude. Others find the mirage explanation plausible — but only in limited scenarios. Over all, though, many experts are applauding the fresh perspectives. “It’s important new information that can help explain some of the old mysteries,” said George M. Behe, author of “On Board R.M.S. Titanic.”

Turkey: Syria killed refugees on its side of border ANKARA, Turkey (NY Times) — Prospects for a peaceful solution to Syria’s conflict on the eve of a cease-fire deadline appeared to diminish further Monday as Turkish officials accused the Syrian military of shooting at Syrian refugees inside Turkey for the first time, and a senior Foreign Ministry official said the cease-fire plan was void. The Turks said Syrian army shooters attacked a group of Syrian civilians who were crossing the border at Kilis, Turkey,
seeking sanctuary in a large refugee camp there; at least 23 people were wounded, and two of them later died. Turkish Foreign Ministry officials also said the Syrian shooters hit at least four people inside the camp — two Syrian refugees, a Turkish policeman and a Turkish translator — who had sought to help the group fleeing across the border. Their condition was not clear. Syria’s ranking diplomats in Ankara were summoned to the Foreign Ministry and
informed of “Turkey’s irritation about the incident in a harsh tone,” said one Foreign Ministry official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of his diplomatic position. There was no immediate response from Syria. If the Turkish account of is confirmed, the events would be the first time since Turkish authorities began sheltering Syrian refugees in the 13-month-old conflict that the Syrian military had fired at targets inside Turkey.
Grand Jury won’t be Convened Federal funds to train in Florida teenager’s killing the jobless are drying up (NY Times) — The special prosecutor appointed to investigate the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin said Monday that she had decided not to convene a grand jury in the case, which incited protests nationwide after the local authorities in Sanford, Fla., decided not to pursue charges against the crime watch volunteer who shot the unarmed teenager. The prosecutor, State Attorney Angela Corey, who was appointed last month by Florida Gov. Rick Scott to investigate the shooting,
said in a statement that her decision “should not be considered a factor in the final determination of the case.” Corey had previously said that summoning a grand jury might not be necessary, so the move was not entirely unexpected. Last month, State Attorney Norm Wolfinger, the previous prosecutor in the case, had directed the grand jury to convene to hear evidence starting on Tuesday. But Wolfinger, who usually handles cases in Sanford, recused himself after public outcries about the pace of the investigation.
(NY Times) — With the economy slowly reviving, an executive from Atlas Van Lines recently visited Louisville, Ky., with good news: the company wanted to hire more than 100 truck drivers ahead of the summer moving season. But a usually reliable source of workers, the local government-financed job center, could offer little help, because the federal money that local officials had designated to help train drivers was already exhausted. Without the government assistance, many of the people who would be interested in applying for the driving jobs could not afford the $4,000 classes to obtain commercial driver’s licenses. Now Atlas is struggling to find eligible drivers. Across the country, work force centers that assist the unemployed are being asked to do more with less as federal funds dwindle for job training and related services.

Fire investigations continue BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — More details have emerged about the fire that destroyed the home of Bartlett business owner Edward Furlong, while a pair of brush fires Friday and Saturday kept firefighters scrambling through the weekend. One of the brush fires has already led to misdemeanor charges for the man who started it, according to officials, while the causes of the other two are still under investigation. Furlong’s dogs were barking, according to Bruce Bennett, assistant fire chief in Bartlett, which is what woke him up. Furlong found heavy smoke when he tried to go downstairs, Bennett said, so he quickly made his way outside and woke up a tenant in a nearby building. “That was a pretty intense fire,” he said. Firefighters from Bartlett, Jackson, North Conway and Redstone all responded. The fire was well on its way to consuming the house by the time crews arrived. The first call came in around 4:30 a.m. on Thursday. Firefighters had to close down Route 302 while they fought the fire, and hours later they were still cleaning up. The cause of that fire has yet to be determined, according to Stacy Dublois, an investigator with the state fire marshal’s office. “It’s still under investigation,” she said, but the focus has been on the dining room where there was a wood stove. “We haven’t been able to rule out the woodstove yet,” she said “There’s still a little bit of work to do.” That’s just one of two investigations Bartlett fire officials are involved in from the last several days. A second fire burned roughly 1.6 acres off West Side Road on Saturday. That incident is also still under investigation, according to Bennett. “It’s undetermined right now,” he said.
The fire was on a hillside near the northern intersection of West Side Road and Route 302. “It was very very steep,” Bennett said, but luckily firefighters were able to knock it down within half an hour. “It came within 50 feet of a house,” he said. About 40 firefighters from Bartlett, Jackson, North Conway and Redstone responded. A fire of a similar size burned 1.5 acres off Stark Road in Conway on Friday, according to Conway fire chief Steve Solomon. A property owner was burning brush, he said, when the fire got out of control. Twenty-five firefighters responded as the fire came within 25 feet of a nearby house. “The first thing we did was protect the neighboring house,” Solomon said. “It was a class four day with a fire weather watch,” he said. “Outdoor fires were not allowed at all.” The property owner was not identified, but Solomon said the state forest ranger had issued a summons for the charge of burning without a permit. The property owner will also have to pay for the firefighting effort, he said. “That bill will likely be several thousand dollars.” Forest ranger Robert Boyd, who is involved in the investigation, did not return a call by press time. The dry conditions have led to fires around the state. Officials are hoping the weather might change enough to reduce the fire danger, but they are skeptical anything will happen without significant precipitation. “This will be like this until we have some actual rain,” Solomon said on Monday. The overcast skies and increased humidity have some effect, he said, but really what has to happen is a few days of rain and then a sunny day that lets the grass green up. For now, he said, no one should be burning anything outside. “A permit is required for all outdoor fires,” he said, and no permits are going to be issued until conditions change.

Without the bus, my health and wellbeing would be in jeopardy. Imagine if you were unable to drive — better yet try it for even one week. Feel the
isolation, lack of independence, the degradation and lack of privacy when you are continually asking for help from others who manage your everyday needs. Many seniors and disabled adults depend on the Blue Loon as I do. We may not be a majority of the population in Conway, but we are just as important. The Blue Loon bus system enables me to keep some of my independence in a time when my illness presents it’s own limits. Please support funding for the Blue Loon on April 10. Patti L. Dickson Conway
Sand is receptive to differing points of view To the editor: Living in a democracy we enjoy a regular opportunity to exercise our responsibility as citizens to research our choices and make wise, informed choices. We’re writing this letter to express our support for Stacy Sand. She is a bright, thoughtful person who brings a good range of work experiences to the tasks which she performs. Stacy listens well when you talk with her and she is receptive to differing points of view. She understands the principles of con-
serving resources and she is happy to accept new responsibilities in pursuit of shared goals. As long term Conway residents, we feel that our town benefits from having younger persons participate in our governing processes who are receptive to the positive impact of new technologies and bring a sense of humor to improve the discourse in which we participate. Please vote for Stacy on Tuesday. Stephen and Linda Fox Phillips Conway
I encourage all to vote for Stacy Sand To the editor: I encourage all Conway residents to vote for Stacy Sand for selectman on Tuesday, and thank her for standing for election as well as the editors of The Conway Daily Sun for endorsing her candidacy. The solid, thoughtful things you’ve heard said about Stacey’s abilities and vision are right on the mark. I’ve seen it firsthand myself for years at the White Birch Thursday Night
Book Club, where if Stacy is in attendance, the quality of the discussion goes up by light years! Imagine tapping that kind of fresh creativity and consensus building ability in a leadership position for Conway. What a great opportunity this is, not just for Conway but for the entire valley, since this important position affects all of us. Judy Kennedy Bartlett

Please vote yes on Article 24 to fund for dial-a-ride bus service To the editor: On behalf of the Carroll County Transit Advisory Committee I want to thank the residents from the towns of Albany, Bartlett, Effingham, Freedom, Moultonborough, Sandwich, Madison, Tamworth, Wolfeboro, Tuftonboro, and Ossipee for their support of $3,000 from each town to help continue to operate the dial-a-ride service in their communities. The residents that attended the town meetings and spoke of the need for the service to continue were instrumental in the decisions make to support the service. We still await a decision from the town of Conway. They will be voting at their town meeting on Tuesday, April 10, between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. at the Conway Community Building on whether or not to contribute $3,000 to continue the ser-
vice in their community (Article 24). Because the Blue Loon service is geared for people without transportation to be able to get places and is wheelchair accessible, the Blue Loon will be providing rides to and from the town meeting so those without transportation can exercise their right to vote. Rides do need to be scheduled atleast 24 hours in advance by calling toll free 1 (866) 752-6890. I encourage those of you who are residents of Conway and realize the need for this service to continue providing door-to-door transportation for seniors, disabled residents, and the general public; to doctors, pharmacies, work, and shopping, to please attend the meeting and vote “yes” on Article 24.

What are the big issues for you on Conway voting day?
There were 21 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question: “What are the big issues for you on Conway voting day?” Among the responses were: Blue Loon busing (1 against); turning street lights back on (1 for); full day kindergarten (1 for, 4 against); teaching teams (2 against); police officer (1 for, 2 against); getting rid of the budget committee (3 for, 4 against); town and school budgets in general (3); and specific candidates (3). I really hope that the rest of my fellow taxpayers here in the town of Conway have enough common sense to vote down the Blue Loon busing. It is a joke to give that bus service money. I met them again the other day, two weeks in a row I meet numerous buses with nobody on them, not a single person. You talk about government waste and tax dollars? Please, Conway voters, vote this down. The big issue for me on voting day is turning the lights in town back on Route 16. I believe that the question is not on the ballot directly; its the town budget increase and so I’d like everybody to know that hidden inside that budget increase is to turn the lights back on and that is the big issue, it has been for years. Look at the picture in today’s TeleTalk. The children are already half asleep. How are they ever going to learn with a full day of kindergarten. It’s a no brainer. This could be another babysitting service for those who complain of breaking up their day because they have to pick up a child at school. These children already have a lot of years ahead of them. Conway taxpayer. The big issue for me on voting day is going to be to keep the cost of the budgets down. I’m on a fixed income and I certainly don’t think we need to spend this kind of money on more police officers. It’s just too much money. This is Betty from Center Conway. To stop Congressman Guinta and Paul Ryan from taking away our Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. We paid good money for it. Also they, along with Eric Cantor, want to cut cancer research. Do they think they are immune? My concerns are about corruption in town politics. The police want additional officers. What about the $2,000 that’s been missing for four months and we haven’t heard a word about? I’d like to see that crime settled. That’s the money that was in the evidence locker. I’d like to see that crime settled before they ask for more. Although this does not apply completely to the voting on Tuesday, it has something to do, at least for this voter. There was a very interesting letter that Dorothy Solomon wrote in The Conway Daily Sun about the Ryan Plan that Romney and many of the other Republicans are backing — and I too vote Republican, but it scares the dickens out of me when I hear that I’m going to lose my Social Security or go under some other type of plan and I think that this is the second such
article that I read and I think that every citizen should be concerned and read these articles or go on the web and read about them. I think the biggest issue facing voters this year is the total amount of money that is going to be spent on the budget, especially with the two large articles for the schools, one being the extra team, four instead of three teams, the other being the extended day kindergarten. Interesting article in The Conway Daily Sun about kindergarten already being full day at one of the schools and I think that would be a better way to go to just expand that program to help the kids that really need the extra rather than having it be for all students, all day. The school budget should be a concern for everyone. In addition to the budget itself there is $1.5 million in articles. Voters should decide with their heads and not their emotions. Kids won’t be better educated no matter how much money you throw at them. What a boring question. One week will you please have a question that will challenge us with superior intellect. The absolute most important thing on the ballot is maintaining the budget committee. Vote to get rid of the budget committee. New Hampshire already has too many elected officials: 13 senators, 400 representatives, executive councilors, county commissioners, 14 reps to oversee the county commissioners, selectmen, school boards, water precincts, sewer precincts, lighting precincts. New Hampshire voters should cut back on the number of elected officials wherever possible. Chris Perley and the rest of them coppers on the Conway PD are doing a totally awesome job to the max. Howevah, if we don’t hire more, our idyllic little Peyton Place Mayberry RFD town will soon be overrun with pimps, prostitutes, pedophiles, pick pockets, philanderers, pornographic photographers and other assorted perverts. When I was a kid they didn’t have kindergarten or teaching teams and look how good I turned out. This is Ralph in Eaton. For me, the most important thing is to vote down Articles 34 and 35 and send a message to Mike DeGregorio that his shameless pandering to the school and his divisive back-room politics have no place in Conway. He couldn’t even explain at the town deliberative meeting what these two ill-prepared and terribly flawed articles meant. DeGregorio (who also asked the voters to support a school default budget last year) once again did this to get garner votes from the school people; he could care less about the negative implications and ramifications of his actions. Vote no on Articles 34 and 35, that is, unless you want skyrocketing taxes. Nauseated, Conway. see TELE-TALK page 8

Budget committee job is to champion taxpayers To the editor: A letter was written last week by Dawn James, personally attacking Ray Shakir. The first part of the letter was falsehoods taken out of context. It is the job of a budget committee member to champion the taxpayers first and watch the bottom line. It is the job of the school board to concentrate on the school district needs first whilst doing so as economically as possible. If you live in a community, pay taxes and serve public office you have ties to the community, regardless of whether or not you have children. Many people here have worked hard all their lives and have earned their pension and 401k retirement income and do not choose to live off of the government. When you put quotation marks around words it indicates a verbatim comment. With regards to education of children, Mr. Shakir did not say a “preparing kids for an outstanding world class education is not acceptable.” What he did say was that a quality education is possible while keeping the cost down. Those of us not on the budget committee or the school board do not appreciate the deep analysis in which financial facts come to light. If the school board continues to keep its hand out in a declining student population, our infrastructure will suffer, as it is now, with roads and bridges in desperate need of repair. If the roads, bridges and school roofs do not get repaired, no one will be going to school, period. Mr. Shakir

Let’s start with full-day kindergarten; regardless of the studies, parents should assume responsibility for reading to their kids from the day they are born to the day they enter first grade; that’s all you need to do, and the kids will be fine. Taxpayers do more than their share and should only be responsible for grades 1 – 12. Kindergarten is babysitting at the taxpayer’s expense! Furthermore, if all-day kindergarten gets approved, in less than five years this will be a $1 million-plus line item (that goes up every year) on top of an already ridiculous budget for a community this size. Next, any person that is in favor of eliminating the power of the budget committee is not there to serve the taxpayers; regardless of how committed they are, or how much they have contributed; DiGregorio must not get elected. The budget committee is the only watchdog for the taxpayers. If DiGregorio wins the taxpayers loose. Forget the four teaching teams, you can get the job done with three; lets not add another 100 grand to this fat budget; taxpayers do not make big city salaries; we’re small local folks trying to survive! Stop bleeding us! Finally, just close the school; we don’t need it. Can we please get our fiscal house
has voted yes on those vital items while attempting to trim the bloated school budget. Communication and resolve between the school board and budget committee need to improve. We hear from a few individuals frequently that those people on the committee who have earned their keep, live as they choose accordingly, are “greedy.” This is just more personal attack and many times hypocritical as some of these critics are also doing well, as is their right. One person does not control the budget committee and one person did not make the decision to cut the budget by 11 percent. Instead Janine McLaughlin made a motion to increase the budget back to the full amount it was prior to the suggested cut. Therein began the problem. By your own admission, Ms. James, you are the mother of autistic children, and no one disdains you because of that fact. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to be in your position. The answer to some problems lie with people just like you. Please run for the budget committee; I’m sure you could make a difference. You will have appreciation for the hard work these unpaid volunteers do. It is never easy to be a public servant and consider what is best for the schools all while working for the interest of the taxpayers as a whole. Please run Ms. James! Those of us who are in sending towns and have no say are counting on it! Mary Ramp Albany
in order; this isn’t the federal government! The following Tele-Talk responses were posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page: Upgrading our selectmen by voting Mike and Stacy. Then yes on 34 and 35. Voting to tie the hands of the budget committee? That’s just ridiculous. They are there as a check and balance to the excessive spending by both town and school district. And isn’t checks and balances what has made this country? Voting yes on 34 and 35 so Shakir and his buddies (Sares, Masters, Drinkhall) can’t pull an 11 percent stunt again. Even in today’s interview piece he intimated he wants to try that stunt again but a bigger cut this time that will be too large for the people to fix it if the state doesn’t take away our power to overrule them first. I am mostly hoping that people show up and vote. Do your homework and vote for what you think is best. I’ll be voting for full-day kindergarten. Amazing at how many people that are running for office that previously held a seat and quit. Not a good track record for some!
THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Tuesday, April 10, 2012— Page 9
Voting is Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the Conway Community Building in Center Conway. Quint said as of Monday afternoon 92 people had filed absentee ballots. “It may seem like a lot, but I honestly thought there would be more,” she said. “You’ve got some pretty big issues like full-day kindergarten on the school ballot, plus the budget committee issues on the school warrant.
TOWN from page one
Elected boards should not have more power than the voters, he said. Opponents of the articles, however, argue making the budget committee an advisory board would remove the primary check and balance of municipal government. The budget committee currently is allowed to adjust the school, library, police or town budget as much as it wishes in any direction. That direction is usually downward, as the budget committee often reflects concerns about the impact of government spending on taxes. Last year the budget committee made an 11 percent cut to the school budget, which resulted in a legal fiasco after the residents at the school deliberative meeting opted to reinstate the full amount. The voters can adjust budgets by 10 percent at town meeting, according to state law. The 11 percent adjustment was ruled invalid by the state, and the school had to deal with the consequences. A number of the warrant articles voters supported were eliminated, and a second budget process had to occur. That incident was the motivation for at least some of the supporters of the petition, which was signed by a majority of the school board and by many people with close ties to the school. It was also the motivation for a number of candidates to run for budget committee in 2011, many of whom were eager to offset the perceived hostility for the school. The 2011 committee, however, was widely seen as the strongest in recent memory, despite a wide range of views and at times tense exchanges. Several such exchanges were at the deliberative meeting, where the articles were amended to eliminate possible conflicts with the town charter. Supporters and opponents did their best to take verbal swipes at each other as moderator Rebecca Oleson did her best to keep the discourse civil. Debate on those two articles lasted roughly two hours, about the same length of time as the rest of the articles combined. Language was added to article 34 that asks residents if they want to convene a charter commission to examine the whole of the charter. A “yes” could open the door to larger changes in town government, something a number of the articles’ supporters as well opponents would like to see. The police department, meanwhile, is looking to open the door to more officers. Article 17 asks voters if they want to spend $40,400 to hire a new officer for the second half of 2012. The cost for the officer would be twice that for a full year. The department put a similar question on last year’s ballot asking for two additional officers. That article failed, but the department put one additional
And then there are the elections, too.” Quint is hoping for a smooth day at the polls. The day will be a little shorter as the officials won’t be processing ballots from Hale’s Location, who do not vote in Conway town elections. “The only snag will be the voting booth I fear,” she said. “People may find themselves waiting for a booth. I hope we have a good turnout and a lot of people have done their homework and bring their cheat sheets. That’ll help speed things up.”

officer in its operating budget, which passed as part of the town budget. The department had trouble, however, filling the new position, as well as several other vacancies. At no point in 2011 was the department fully staffed. Another police department article, number 18, asks the voters for permission to accept a federal grant that would cover part of the cost of another new officer for three years. The town will not hear until September if it received the grant, but if it does it needs to get voter approval because it would put the taxpayers on the hook for part of the bill. The town would be responsible for roughly $50,000 per year if the department gets the grant, and plus the full cost of the officer for the fourth year. There are other strings attached as well — the town would be required to hire a military veteran who served after Sept. 11, 2001. The department applied for the same grant last year without voter preapproval, and when it looked like the department might receive an award the town scrambled to set up a special town meeting to get the required permission. The grant, however, had a strict deadline that would have made getting the approval in time next to impossible. The town ultimately didn’t get the grant, but the experience convinced police officials it would be better in the future to get pre-approval than to try to figure it out within the grant’s strict time constraints. The article got the support of the budget committee, but the selectmen split 2-2 on it, which translates into the board not recommending it. The voters, however, will have the final say. The overall town budget, meanwhile, has avoided controversy. At $9.1 million, it marks an increase of roughly $150,000. The largest increases come from the police, highway and solid waste departments, but the elimination of a bond payment moderated the impact. The selectmen unanimously supported the proposed budget, while the budget committee split of 9-4 in favor. If the voters reject it the town would operate on a default budget of $8.8 million. Voters will also be choosing two selectmen to represent them over the next three years. Incumbent Michael DiGregorio has signed up to run again, but Larry Martin has not. Stacy Sand, Robert Drinkhall and Steven Porter are also in the contest. Five people are running for four openings on the budget committee. Incumbents Maureen Seavey and Ray Shakir are both running for reelection, with Steven Steiner, Peter Donohue and Michael Fougere also vying for a spot. Town moderator Rebecca Oleson also faces a challenge from former town moderator Thomas Steele. The remainder of town races are uncontested.

Aside from electing a full slate of officers, voters will decide the fate of 21 warrant articles plus one non-binding referendum question on the school ballot. Among the warrant articles is a request for funds for full-day kindergarten programs at Conway’s three elementary schools. The polls are open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the Conway Community Building in Center Conway. The proposed school budget has sailed through the process thus far — even with the budget committee praising the school board for its effort. The budget committee supports the school budget 15-2 (Ray Shakir and Doug Swett in the minority) and never offered an alternative figure to what the school board is proposing. The total proposed operating budget excluding special articles is $31,901,212 (the default budget is $31,855,122). Last year’s adopted budget was $32,958,413. Conway’s share of that price tag is $15 million with the sending towns (Albany, Bartlett, Eaton, Freedom, Jackson, Madison and Tamworth) picking up the rest of the tab. The school board has an additional 20 warrant articles, totaling $1,586,419, that are not part of the 2012-13 operating budget. Dick Klement, the school board’s representative to the budget committee, has explained that a decrease in health insurance rates by nearly $500,000 and a drop in special education costs contributed primarily to the dip in the proposed budget. “I don’t see how we can turn it down,” budgeteer Bill Marvel said and praised the school board in February. “For the overall budget I’m impressed.” “Me too,” Dave Sordi, budget committee chairman, said. “I think the school system did a very good job. It’s very good news.” The budget committee is endorsing 18 of the 20 warrant articles it was charged to oversee while the school board supports all of them. Committee members are not supporting articles No. 17 and 20. No. 17 is for $162,018 for three teachers at $52,506 each (includes salary and benefits) and $1,500 per school for supplies and equipment to establish a full-day kindergarten program in each of the three elementary school. It is supported by the board 4-3 (Randy Davison, Klement and Rick Breton in the minority).
The budget committee voted 9-8 not to support the article, with Maury McKinney, Greydon Turner, Betty Loynd, Maureen Seavey, Mike DiGregorio, Brian Charles, Kelly DeFeo and Klement in the minority. Mark Zangari, principal of John Fuller School; Aimee Frechette, principal of Pine Tree; and Brian Hastings, principal of Conway Elementary School, believe the time is now for allday kindergarten and that the move could actually lead to long-term financial gains for the district. “We’ve got to get a jump on literacy; we know full-time kindergarten addresses it,” Zangari said. He explained the administrators have long supported full-day kindergarten; however, proposals have never reached the board in the past due to budget constraints. The three principals acknowledged it’s not the best of financial times, but the need continues to mount. “The time really has come for this to be addressed,” Zangari said. All-day kindergarten programing was a recommendation by the K-8 Educational Research Committee in its 2009 report. The three principals said at this time all three elementary schools have the physical space to accommodate all-day kindergarten. Currently, the New Hampshire Department of Education requires districts to provide only half-day kindergarten. The Bartlett School District offers a full-day program. The school board itself voted 4-3 to support the article. Klement was in the minority and explained he doesn’t believe enough money is being budgeted for the program. He believes it could be more in the neighborhood of twice the amount being proposed. School superintendent Carl Nelson said Monday if voters pass the article, administrators will work within the allotted budget. “We’ll do it for that price,” he said and explained an additional kindergarten teacher would need to be hired for each of the three elementary schools. That will mean advertising the posts and then going through the hiring process. “It’s not a burden for us to do,” he said. “We can handle it. The (new teachers) and the program would start next fall. We would need to recruit, hire and make space available for this to happen before then. The voters will tell us what they want.” At the deliberative portion of school see next page

meeting last month, resident Kristin Groves, who teaches kindergarten and first grade at Jackson Grammar School, supported the article. Her child will be in kindergarten in Conway next year. “My children in Jackson, the children in Bartlett, attend kindergarten for six and a half hours a day,” she said. “the children in Conway go to school for two and a half hours per day. The children in Jackson and Bartlett have 600 more hours of kindergarten than the children in Conway. They are all sent to the high school in Conway, all of these children are expected to perform on the same level, to the same standards. That’s inequitable, it’s not fair to all of the children in Conway. “Those 600 hours are hours which early intervention can be given to all children, not just children on the autism spectrum,” Groves continued. “Children who perhaps don’t have parents who read to them every night. Children who have parents who are not as educated as other parents and don’t help them quite as much. Six hundred hours of early intervention which research shows is the best time to close the gap. The research is undeniable, it is out there to find.” Janine McLauchlan, chair of the school board, says the tax impact if the warrant article is approved would be roughly 12 cents per $1,000 of property valuation. Budgeteers also narrowly defeated Article No. 20 which is for $98,166 to provide for four academic teams at Kennett Middle School. It is supported by the school board 4-3 (Davison, Klement and Rick Breton in the minority). The budget committee voted it down 8-7-2, with McKinney, Loynd, Seavey, DeFeo, DiGregorio, Charles and Klement in the minority and Mosca and Turner abstaining. Kennett Middle School principal Kevin Richard supports the article which would allow the retention of two teachers and keep a four-team teaching approach at his school in place rather than go to three teams. “What this shows (holding handout at a meeting with the budget committee in February) is we have reduced where we can,” he said. “I think this demonstrates over and over we have done things more efficiently. If I came forward to you in September and said I’m going to bring you a three and a half percent decrease in my budget, I think you’d have been pretty happy.
This budget is a six and a half percent reduction over last year, and even with the fourth team (if the warrant article is approved) it’d be a three and a half percent reduction.” Richard said the proposed middle school budget (includes operations, special education and technology) for 2012-13 is $3,910,988 compared to $4,214,247 for 2011-12; $4,160,736 for 2010-11; $4,148,943 for 200910; $4,167,579 for 2008-09; and $4,253,722 for 2007-08, the first year the middle school and high school separated. “I’m trying to be as honest as possible,” Richard said. “I’ve cut from different areas from the nice-to-haves to the essential to have, but the most important thing is having teachers in the classrooms.” Those opposing the article have stated they believe with a drop in enrollment, there also needs to be a reduction in staffing and they see no ill-effects educationally by switching to a three-team format. Article No. 21 is a non-binding referendum question asking voters if they support doing a study into the ramifications of closing an elementary school. School board member John Skelton, who last year ran on the platform at looking to close an elementary school, had been out-voted 6-1 by his colleagues last August when he sought to form a committee to study the possible closure of one of the three elementary schools in the Conway School District. Members felt a study had been done in-house just two years earlier and there was no need to do another one at this time. In an attempt to appease Skelton, the board voted to ask the following non-binding referendum question: “Do you support the closing an elementary school in the Conway School District?” On March 5, at deliberative session of school meeting, Skelton offered the following amendment to the article: “Do you support the Conway School Board thoroughly researching the educational and financial impact of closing of an elementary school in the Conway School District?” It was approved by the vast majority of the 80 or so citizens who remained for the 27-minute discussion on the article. “The particular wording of it,” Skelton said of the original question, “is somewhat akin to would you support cutting your arm off?

question back in the 2009 study that looked at configurations of schools had significant support for shifting to six through eight middle school as well as support towards full-day kindergarten. I think it’s a large issue which requires further research. Certainly there’s been impetus from the budget committee that it needs to be looked at. I think as far as the future direction of the entire Conway School District and our ability to contain budgets for years down the road the concept deserves further investigation beyond what we have been able to give to it at this time.” Skelton continued on. “I think this amendment would help to more clarify an issue and give direction and put the responsibility on the school board where it needs to be and a process would move forward looking at how we an provide a quality education and excellence in schools with the responsibility towards the efficiencies which certainly closing a school might address. I urge you to support the amendment,” he said. Resident Mark Hounsell, who seconded Skelton’s amendment, said he may not agree with closing a school, but he’d like to at least have a little more information before he had to make that decision. “When I read this referendum vote I figured the school board must have been tired or it was late at
night because it’s poorly written and poorly focused,” he said. “Do you support the closing an elementary school in the Conway School District? Absolutely not. I find I like my neighborhood and I like my neighborhood school. I bet you’ll find throughout the town people like their neighborhood schools. If you live in Center Conway you want Pine Tree School to stay open; if you live in North Conway, you want John Fuller to stay open; I live in Conway Village and I want Conway El. to stay open. “There should only be a couple of compelling reasons to close a school; those would be educational and financial impacts,” Hounsell continued. “Although I cannot and will not support the referendum as currently written I can support the amended article which does again say, ‘Do you support the Conway School Board thoroughly researching the educational and financial impact of closing of an elementary school in the Conway School District?’ I’m not sure how I would vote if it came out that we should close one, probably with some sadness if the educational and financial showed it, I probably would support closing an elementary school.” Article No. 16 — for $22,548 to fund 30 percent of the student advocate position at Kennett High — received the smallest amount of support of any of the articles the budget committee endorsed. The voted was 9-8 in favor of it with Marvel, Mosca, Karen Umberger,
Sares, Danielle Santuccio, John Edgerton, Shakir and Swett in the minority. The post was previously funded through an Ed Jobs grant, which is no longer available. It is supported by the school board 6-1 (Davison in the minority). Other warrant articles and votes are: No. 3 is the Kennett High facilities maintenance fund for $54,443 ($36,380 will be offset by sending towns). Supported by the board 7-0. Supported by the budget committee 17-0. No. 4 is Kennett Middle School facilities maintenance fund for $17,086 ($7,681 to be offset by sending towns). Supported by the board 7-0. Supported by the budget committee 17-0. No. 5 is elementary schools’ facilities maintenance fund for $9,900 ($1,271 to be offset by sending towns). Supported by the board 7-0. Supported by the budget committee 17-0. Articles 3-5 are required under the 20-year tuition contract with sending towns Albany, Bartlett, Eaton, Freedom, Jackson, Madison and Tamworth. No. 6 is a new two-year contract agreement between the school board and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (bus drivers and custodians) to fund employee salaries and benefits. It seeks $49,340 for 2012-13 and $50,058 for 2013-14. Board supports 7-0. Supported by the budget committee 16-1 (Shakir in the minority). No. 7 is for a one-year collective bargaining agreement between the school board and the Conway Education Association (teachers) for the 2012-13 school year to fund employee salaries and benefit and seeks $359,815. Supported by the board 6-0-1 (Davison abstained). Supported by the budget committee 13-3-1 (Shakir, Swett and Umberger in the minority and Loynd abstained). No. 8 is for a two-year collective bargaining agreement between the school board and the Conway Educational Support Personnel to fund employee salaries and benefits. It seeks $13,132 for 2012-13 and $54,569 for 2013-14. Board supports 7-0. Supported by the budget committee 15-2 (Shakir and Swett in the minority). No. 9 is for Project SUCCEED (Schools Under Contract Creating Enriching Extended Days) at John Fuller, Pine Tree and Conway Elementary for $29,925. Organizers of the program anticipate $20,000 in revenue to offset taxes, and additional grants would be sought. Supported by the board 7-0.

Supported by the board 7-0. Supported by the budget committee 16-1 (Shakir in the minority). No. 14 is for an expendable trust for special education for $100,000 (the fund will be capped at $500,000). Supported by the board 6-1 (Davison in the minority). Supported by the budget committee 13-4 (Edgerton, Shakir, Swett and Umberger in the minority). No. 15 is for $37,002 to 70 percent fund the sous chef position in the Mount Washington Valley Career and Technical Center. The position was previously funded through a Carl Perkins Federal Grant which is no longer available. Supported by the board 7-0. Supported by the budget committee 13-4 (Marvel, Shakir, Swett and Sares in the minority). The sous chef position was funded initially by a Perkins grant which the district can no longer apply for. The initial intent was for revenue from the Mineral Springs Cafe to cover the position, but that has not happened and in all likelihood will not. Rep. Frank McCarthy, who also serves as commander of American Legion Post 95, has led a charge to support the position. He explained the students and staff at Mineral Springs Cafe have rolled out the red carpet the past two years for a Veterans Day luncheon. Over 100 veterans attended each year. “What a difference it makes for veterans,” he continued. “The morale goes through the room. I would hate to see it disappear if the sous chef position isn’t maintained. This isn’t a giveaway; we pay $9 to $10 apiece for the luncheon. The kids give up a day off for the veterans, so please back it up, thank you.” “Without a sous chef, the culinary arts program will limit our students’ opportunities and force the program and services to be scaled back to ensure the safety of our students and limit liability,” Lori Babine, director of the MWV Career and Technical Center, said. “The sous chef title does not accurately reflect the job responsibility of this position. This person shares responsibility for the daily operations of the classroom and the restaurant. He assists the instructor and has become a valuable mentor and coach to the students. Having a second educator in the program has led to catering opportunities at an affordable cost to the community. No. 18 is for $105,000 to replace a portion of roof at John Fuller School. Supported by the board 7-0. Supported by the budget committee 15-2 (Edgerton and Sares in the minority). No. 19 is for $115,000 to replace a portion of roof at Kennett Middle School. Supported by the board 7-0. Supported by the budget committee 16-1 (Edgerton in the minority).

Two school board seats up for grabs CONWAY — Two seats on the Conway School Board will be decided Tuesday when voters had to the polls. They’ll be choosing from five citizens who have signed up for the three-year terms. Vying for the seats are incumbents Randy Davison and Syndi White along with Ben Kane, Bill Masters and Kelley Murphy. Here are the candidates at a glance: Why are you running? Davison: “My background as an educator and my experience in town government has helped prepare me to serve our community in this capacity. As a board member, I will continue to ask the tough questions when analyzing ongoing and proposed programs in addition to responding to community concerns that are aired to me. I have brought, and think I can continue to bring, fresh viewpoints that allow us to identify where reorganization can provide the same services while conserving resources. During the last six years on the school board I feel I have a good handle on the financial aspects of the school budget and what funds are needed in order to run quality programs. We need to provide the best education possible for students while being fiscally responsible, especially in the current economic climate. I do believe that academic scores need to show sound results if taxpayers are asked to support the school budget. It is also essential to hire and retain highly qualified staff in order to ensure a solid academic foundation. Lastly, I firmly believe that my knowledge from serving on the board and following
through with the commitment that is necessary in being a board member speaks for itself.” White: “I am running for re-election because I believe our town needs a strong advocate for children and families, one who understands the importance of providing an excellent public education while keeping property taxes low. I feel that I have stepped up to the challenges of working on a diverse board and have made many positive contributions during my term. The next few years will be pivotal in the history of Conway schools, as we face declining enrollment and potential restructuring of our grade levels. We need to keep pace with improving instruction, curriculum and technology to meet the demands of providing a 21st-century education. I would like the opportunity to continue to work toward these goals.” Murphy: “As a former educator for the Conway School District I have always planned on one day returning to the classroom. However, as our family has grown and the demands of my husband’s career have increased it would not be fair to my family or a classroom of students for me to return. I could not give both parties the time and attention they deserve to excel and achieve. I have re-evaluated how best to contribute to the students of Mount Washington Valley. Returning to the Conway School Board would allow me to contribute to our educational system and devote the time and energy that a large see SCHOOL CANDIDATES page 14

family needs. I am very fortunate to have worn many hats for the Conway School District and believe this experience is a great asset in a candidate. I have had the opportunity to be a student, an educator, a parent and a leader for the Conway School District. I have a lot of history within the district and look forward to bringing this perspective back to the board.” Kane: “I am running because I feel that I would bring a fair and balanced approach to addressing the needs of the Conway School District and of the taxpayer.” Masters: “I believe we need to strengthen the primary educational system (elementary schools). I want to be involved in taking an in-depth look at the pros and cons of closing one elementary school and the transfer of the sixth grades to the Kennett Middle School. In addition, I want to take a long hard look at special education and contract services to ensure the taxpayers are getting a good return for what they are paying for. I want to spend time in the classrooms and talk with the teachers and support staff with the emphasis on the elementary (K-8).” Goals over the next three years? Davison: “I am interested in continued conversations with SAU 13 towns about the idea of consolidating with SAU 9. The recent vote to rejoin SAU 9 speaks for itself. This could be a wonderful opportunity to unite our community and would benefit everyone in terms of fiscal savings and efficiency. Careful attention will need to be paid to a lot of details to ensure a positive outcome. “I would offer my skills by serving on a committee that looks at reviewing K-8 education in the Conway School District. I can help in looking at finding additional cost-effective, commonsense solutions that will work without compromising the standards of education. I also see the need to anticipate the impact of current trends on future programming. We have a decreasing population. We need to offer diverse, quality programs and yet we cannot allow exorbitant per-pupil costs. My experience and education will be assets as the board examines and moves on these ongoing concerns. “I am also interested in offering different kinds of diplomas. Our current graduation requirements are well beyond state requirements and may not be in the best interest of all students. We need to acknowledge the fact that some students’ desires are to earn a basic high school diploma that is sufficient for entering some areas of the work force or to join the armed forces. We can also offer something along the lines of an International Baccalaureate program that provides an advanced diploma for students seeking acceptance to colleges and
universities. We also need to help parents who find our system difficult to understand and maneuver.” White: “1. I would like to see the school board do a thorough investigation of the pros and cons of closing an elementary school and then bring the information to the voters. I believe the public must be well-informed and the school board needs to work in partnership with the community in making monumental decisions such as closing a school. “2. The district does not have a program for gifted and talented students. I would like to see a focus on providing more challenging curriculum and educational opportunities for advancement throughout the system, especially at the middle school level. “3. I would like to see the school board direct the superintendent to take a different approach to budget development. Currently, he directs the administrators to cut a percentage evenly across schools. Budget decisions should be based on the needs of the district, not ‘fairness’ in distributing the money/or cuts equally among administrators. There may be an opportunity to make major cuts in one budget or a need to add to another. “4. The high school is top heavy in administration. Whenever cuts are made, it seems to be done at the instructional level. I would like the school board to research administration models and streamline the current structure and consolidate job responsibilities. “5. I would like to see entry-level teacher salaries rise to a level that nears the state average. We need to be able to recruit and retain quality educators in order to provide quality education to our students. Teachers need to make a living wage and be able support their families. “6. Restructure the middle school to include 6th-8th grades.” Murphy: “I would like for the community to see school board members as community leaders. There is so much more to the role of a board member than what can be seen on local television twice a month.” Kane: “Though I do not have any quantifiable goals, I would like to explore what could be done to increase the academic standards across the district.” Masters: “To stop the policy of promoting students who are not proficient in one or more subjects from a lower level to a higher level providing the student’s aptitude testing indicates he or she has the ability to master the subject matter, especially at the elementary level. In my opinion, the elementary system is the backbone for further learning.” Voting will take place at the Conway Community Building in Center Conway from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday.
Gary Chandler in running for Lower Bartlett Water Precinct superintendent BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
BARTLETT — The commissioners of the Lower Bartlett Water Precinct have opted not to renew their yearly contract for management services with FX Lyons Inc. come May 1 — and pending the approval of Article 2 at annual precinct meeting Tuesday night, they stand poised to hire former North Conway Water Precinct superintendent Gary Chandler to run the precinct’s waterworks with a staff of two people. The precinct’s annual meeting is set to begin at 7 p.m. at Bartlett Town Hall. “Fran (Lyons)worked for us 25 years and has done a good job for us. We have no ax to grind with him, and the sad part is that we are taking this away from him, as this has been his baby. But we feel we can save money for the precinct, and we are looking ahead,” said precinct commission chair Dick Glines at a public information hearing held at town hall April 4. He repeated that explanation in an interview April 6. He said the precinct under Lyons’ tenure has seen its water users increase from 250 customers to 1,350. “He has done a good job with good foresight, but we feel it’s just time to move on,” said Glines, adding, “The precinct has gotten big enough now that it needs a superintendent 24-7; well, if not 24-7, someone whose only focus is on the Lower Bartlett Water Precinct. Frannie has many water customers, and, while he has always kept the precinct foremost in his mind, he can’t neglect his other customers. We [Glines and fellow commissioners Jim Rockett and Dennis Egan] felt that the precinct has gotten big enough to go out on our own.” Contacted April 4, Lyons said he was sorry to see the contract ending. “I was a little disappointed they decided to go that way, but I have run the precinct for 26 years and if they feel it’s time for a change. All I can say is I have tried to do a good job,” said Lyons. “I have a good crew of guys in here, and Gary [Chandler] has been my right-hand man for several years. Gary left just before I went on vacation in January. He said he was see PRECINCT page 17 PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT

going on to bigger and better things. There are no hard feelings.” “They are going to start up their own water department with their own employees, so instead of having it privatized, they are going to have their own employees. There are two schools of thought on that — and it seems we have an election with a debate on that in Washington, D.C., every four years or so. We’ll see,” said Lyons. Chandler: Contract not finalized Interviewed after the April 4 informational session at Bartlett Town Hall, Chandler said he had left the Lower Bartlett Water Precinct independent of the subsequent decision by commissioners to not renew the contract with FX Lyons Inc. “I had just decided it was time to move on,” said Chandler. “Later on, a few weeks later, I had been approached to talk with them about something. Nothing is finalized; nothing is a done deal; I am here tonight as a consultant observing.” He said he had not signed anything with commissioners, explaining as did Glines that it is contingent on Tuesday night’s vote. “We have not signed a contract with Gary [Chandler] yet, because Article 2 has to get approved first,” said Glines. That article asks voters to raise and appropriate $98,000 for capital expenditures. Although some at the meeting questioned whether that figure was “optimistic,” Glines said he and his fellow commissioners are confident that it is realistic. Glines said Rockett has been handling negotiations on behalf of the board with Chandler. Glines said, and Chandler confirmed, that commissioners approached Chandler in February. Approximately 17 people attended the precinct’s April 4 informational session, including Lyons, Chandler and North Conway Water Precinct consultant Bill Hounsell. None of the latter three spoke during public discussion at the meeting. The precinct was required to give Lyons 45 days notice of their decision to end the contract. “We have done that, and we are required to move our equipment out of Fran’s office,” said Glines April 6. Offices at Grant property Commissioners plan to rent office space in the former Irving Grant property on Route 302 across from the Red Parka Pub from Jean Fernandez, pending the OK Tuesday of Article 2 on the warrant. Glines in response to votrs at the April 4 meeting said that commissioners could subcontract services as needed and plan to purchase two pickup trucks initially, if voters approve Article 2.

Glines said he has heard grumblings that some of Lyons’ supporters are lobbying to defeat Article 2. “I must say that it would be counterproductive to the precinct to defeat Article 2,” said Glines. Chandler was ousted from his 14-year post as superintendent of the North Conway Water Precinct Chan-
dler effective Jan. 9, 2004 in the wake of a consultants’ report alleging the precinct had been seriously mismanaged. A subsequent state attorney general’s report confirmed many of the allegations made in the earlier report, but the state report concluded there was no criminal conduct. In the months following the initial investigation and report into precinct operations, a bitter battle raged between supporters of Chandler and the board. Voters at annual precinct meeting in March 2005 voted to pay Chandler up to $86,382 as a settlement representing back wages and attorneys’ fees following his firing under allegations of mismanagement. The vote was 92-61. In October 2005, North Conway Water Precinct commissioners and Chandler arrived at a settlement to resolve all potential and threatened claims between them. The budget and warrant to be voted on at Tuesday’s meeting are posted at the precinct office and also at the Intervale Post Office and Hill’s Florist.

Norman P. Van Wickler
Chief Master Sergeant (Ret.) Norman P. Van Wickler “Sarge,” 90, of Madison, died at home on Good Friday, April 6, 2012. Sarge entered the U.S. Army Air Corps when he was 19 years old. Sarge was with the 19th Bomb Group of the 8th Air force during World War II and served in England, France and Germany. Sarge was involved with B17 Bombers and was one of the troops aboard a glider during the raid on Wessell, Germany. Sarge was also involved in the Nuremburg raid and involved in the D-Day invasion. After the war, Sarge worked with the Atomic Energy Commission. Sarge’s 26-year military career took him around the world where he then retired at Pease AFB in 1969 having received several medals, awards and citations. In retirement, Sarge served as the District Chaplain for the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 8270 and also Chaplain of the American Legion Post 46 in Conway. He was also a member of the “Grey Eagles” of North Conway. Sarge is survived by his wife, Florence R. Van Wickler (Beau-

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
by Lynn Johnston
DILBERT
by Scott Adams
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You feel that the onus is on you to put a few crazy notions into the mix. Contributing ideas from outside the existing pattern will cause heads to tilt, eyebrows to arch and hands to clap. You’re a brilliant thinker. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve been dreaming about how things should go or could go in a perfect world. Now you’ll be reconciling the way things actually are with those fanciful imaginings. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Extenuating circumstances may have you taking less than optimal care of yourself. Get back to basics. Your mood is always better when you feel secure in your health, sustenance, finances and home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The one who loves you is also able to hurt you with so much as a cross-eyed look. Knowing this, you might recognize the similar power you hold with your love and wield that power gently. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have a way of spiritually reaching into the heart of someone, plucking a molecule for examination and then reading the feeling. You can sense even the quietest anger, fear, joy and elation. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 10). Strong relationships will transform and bring unexpected benefits to your world this year. Take a chance on yourself over the next six weeks. The training you get or an investment you make will pay in September. Friendship and romance decorate your July. Social connections lead to financial connections in June. Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 2, 13, 29 and 41.
Get Fuzzy
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You won’t like the way a situation is going. Good news: You’re so creative now that you’ll be able to come up with about seven ways to lead the action in an alternate direction. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Send a message of forgiveness to your own mirror. If there’s something keeping you from doing this, identify the issue. What might help you get past it? GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your lifestyle will speak volumes to the people close to you. Consider what you might do now to make them know how deeply they are loved. Adjustments to your schedule may be necessary. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Children look to develop their identities by associating with people who are more or less their own age. You’ll be like a child now, too, figuring out how you might fit in with a new group and what it will mean to do so. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re probably not looking for love, but that doesn’t rule out having it in your life. Love, in its many forms, will be out there looking for you today, and by the day’s end, you’ll consider yourself found. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll only share your visions and dreams with those you really trust. People have to know you and prove their trustworthiness over a period of time before you’ll open up to them. It’s how you keep out the riff-raff. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be mentally sharp in the morning and then again late in the evening. The afternoon brings a slump that will actually be quite enjoyable if you give into it and relax with good company.

Today is Tuesday, April 10, the 101st day of 2012. There are 265 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 10, 1912, the RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton, England, on its ill-fated maiden voyage, stopping first in Cherbourg, France, and then Queenstown (Cobh), Ireland, the next day to pick up additional passengers before heading out into the open sea. On this date: In 1790, President George Washington signed into law the first United States Patent Act. In 1862, Congress passed a joint resolution offering financial aid to any state which agreed to gradually abolish slavery. In 1866, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was incorporated. In 1925, the novel “The Great Gatsby,” by F. Scott Fitzgerald, was first published. In 1932, German president Paul Von Hindenburg was re-elected in a runoff, with Adolf Hitler coming in second. In 1947, Brooklyn Dodgers president Branch Rickey purchased the contract of Jackie Robinson from the Montreal Royals. In 1957, Egypt reopened the Suez Canal to all shipping traffic. (The canal had been closed due to wreckage resulting from the Suez Crisis.) In 1962, United States Steel Chairman Roger Blough informed President John F. Kennedy of his company’s decision to raise steel prices an average of $6 a ton. (Under administration pressure, Blough changed his mind.). In 1963, the nuclear-powered submarine USS Thresher sank during deep-diving tests off Cape Cod, Mass., in a disaster that claimed 129 lives. In 1972, the United States and the Soviet Union joined some 70 nations in signing an agreement banning biological warfare. In 2010, Polish President Lech Kaczynski, 60, was killed in a plane crash in western Russia that also claimed the lives of his wife and top Polish political, military and church officials. One year ago: In the first remarks since his ouster, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak denied allegations that he had used his position to amass wealth and property. Bob Dylan performed a concert in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) in Vietnam. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Max von Sydow is 83. Actress Liz Sheridan is 83. Actor Omar Sharif is 80.

UNFAITHFUL HUSBAND SEARCHES FOR WAY OUT OF HIS MARRIAGE
DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 19 years, but I cannot stay faithful to my wife. I’ve had a few affairs, visit “massage parlors” on a regular basis and feel my wife deserves better. I want to walk away from our marriage. We have kids who will be affected, and it will hurt us financially, but I don’t feel right staying in a marriage I can’t be faithful to. I haven’t told my wife about this, but I believe she knows because we haven’t been intimate in months. We had discussed divorce several times in the past, but that was before the kids. Please give me some advice. -- LIVING A LIE IN THE MID-ATLANTIC DEAR LIVING A LIE: Feeling and behaving as you do, it would have been better for you to have divorced before you had children. However, now that you do have kids, it’s time that you level with your wife. As you stated, she probably has a good idea that something isn’t right. She may prefer to remain married to you until your children are out of the house. Or she may feel that her chances of finding someone else are better if you separate now. You’ll never know until you talk to her -- and she deserves to know the truth. DEAR ABBY: I am trying to decide who to have as best man at my wedding. I asked my best friend before I got engaged. After the engagement, I received a lot of pressure -and unwanted stress -- from my mom to have my brother as best man. After arguing with her for a month straight, I finally gave in and asked my brother. We have never been close. There’s no communication and no desire for it. We see each other only during the holidays and have had a forced relationship by Mom since we were teens. My gut instinct tells me my best friend should be my best man. On the other hand, if I tell my brother he isn’t the one
anymore, I’m afraid it will be the final dagger in any type of relationship with him and his family. I need your advice on this matter. -- GROOM-TO-BE IN MINNESOTA DEAR GROOM-TO-BE: You’re right that having asked your brother to be your best man, you should not rescind the invitation. However, I have good news. Your best friend can still be your best man. According to Emily Post, there can be two best men. She says: “Though not so common, two chief attendants may be the right solution when you don’t want to choose between siblings or close friends. The attendants can share the duties and the fun!” So there you are. Problem solved. DEAR ABBY: I’m dating a man, “Jason,” who is a DJ. Lately work has been slow for him, but because he was so popular when he was younger, he finds it hard to accept that he will have to get a 9-to-5 job. Jason has expressed in the past that he doesn’t want to call a 30-year-old his boss and would like to go to school. We hope to get married one day, but I am torn because I don’t want to support the household on a wing and a prayer. I do everything I can to encourage him, but his lack of effort is becoming discouraging. How can I explain this without it turning into an argument? -- ON THE RECORD IN CONNECTICUT DEAR ON THE RECORD: Consider this. The longer Jason waits to look for a 9-to-5 job, the younger his bosses will be. Marriage is a partnership. You shouldn’t have to support the household on a “wing and a prayer” because Jason is dragging his feet about returning to school or becoming self-supporting. Explain it to him by saying that if he doesn’t become more proactive, you will have to consider finding someone who is more ambitious.

Lacrosse Eagles eye a long playoff run; open today –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — What a difference a year makes. Without field access last year due to the prolonged winter preseason turned the Kennett High lacrosse team into gypsies trying to make do with whatever space it can find. It’s been a much m0re positive story this spring. Aside from just a couple of days in parking lots, the Eagles have been on a field and things have been clicking. Kennett looked sharp last week in its lone exhibition, topping stateline neighbor 16-5 in an offensive outburst. “It was a very good scrimmage for us,” Jared Doherty, Eagles’ head coach, said. “I was pleased with the way we played, lots of positives.” The Eagles will open their 2012 regular season on the road at fellow Division III foe the John Stark Generals in Weare today at 4 p.m. KHS is scheduled to play its home-opener this Friday when it welcomes Derryfield, the current two-time defending state champs for a 4:30 match. The Eagles will unveil their new home uniforms for the contest. Coach Doherty, a Kennett alumni, is now in his second year at the helm of the Eagles. Doherty was a standout player and former two-year captain of the UMass lacrosse team. He was an outstanding defenseman for the Minutemen. Doherty and assistant coach Garrett Meador (who will coach the junior varsity, too) are excited about this season and have their eyes firmly set on a playoff berth and a lengthy playoff run. There are 45 athletes out for the team including 16 seniors making up the bulk of the 20-player varsity roster. “We only lost five seniors to graduation,” Doherty

said. “We have a very good senior class back. ...Looking at the league, I think we definitely have the potential to be a top four team in the division. We want to be at least .500 or better, make the playoffs and play well in them. We’ll go as far as (the player’s) effort will take them and I know my guys and they want it.” This season’s team captains are Gabe Lee and Mikey Emanuelson. “I have great leaders and am very proud of the,” Doherty said. Doherty hasn’t settled on a concrete lineup just yet. He and Meador are still determining who fits best where. Defensively, KHS should be solid with Emanuelson, Matt Kelley and Tucker Paven expected to shut down opposing offenses. “I like our defense,” Doherty said “They have gelled together and know where each other is in our defensive sets and reacting faster together.” Chris King will road in the defensive midfield while sophomore Dylan Carney has looked sharp in goal. Doherty is convinced the sophomore is ready for the varsity stage. “I’m pretty confident in Dylan, he learned a lot last year,” he said. In midfield, Tommy Donovan returns along with the speedy Jesse Wheeler and Tanner Wheeler. “Tommy is one of the better offensive guys in the league if not the state,” Doherty said. “... Jesse is a great leader, all of these guys have such a passion for the game.” Up front, then offense features several players from the state championship hockey team. Lee, Anthony LaRusso, Kevin Murphy and Brad Canavari, who scored three goals in the win against

Fryeburg, all have a nose for the net as does sophomore Andrew Casella, who Doherty is expecting big things out of.” Doherty has a passion for the sport. “I’ve been looking forward to this season since last year after the final game,” he said, smiling. “...For the season outlook, we have a few team goals that we look to achieve. The most important part of playing is having fun. By the team having fun together the game will become more of a instinct than a thinking game and this will translate into better team unity and also will increase team wins which makes the game that more fun. “Secondly we want everyone to improve their skills from last season,” he continued. “Garrett and I are really focussing on the fundamentals and encouraging the kids to buy into the importance of the basics. So far we have improved greatly in just the few weeks that we have had practice, but this will be a full season goal.” The final team goal is sportsmanship. “It’s important to be good sports,” Doherty said. “I do not take or accept any unsportsmanlike behavior and have stressed the importance of sportsmanship. Every time we take to the field I want us to do it with class and respect.” Lacrosse has taken off in the Mount Washington Valley with youth programs drawing large numbers. It’s something that bodes well for the sport at the high school level. “We have a great youth program in Mount Washington Valley Lacrosse Club,” Doherty said. “Everyone is doing a great job of getting on the same page at the lower levels. By the time they come to Garrett and me as freshman they’re ready to go; it’s only going to help strengthen the program.”
