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.

Hundreds of books, studies and offi cial inquiries have addressed the deeper question of how a ship that was so costly and so well built — a ship declared to be unsinkable — could have ended so terribly. The theories vary widely, placing the blame on everything from inept sailors to flawed rivets.

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 fi rst 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 a Titanic historian from Britain, 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.

SAYWHAT...

“

It’s a funny thing, but today the Titanic is probably much more - that is people are much more aware of it than they were in 1954, when I was doing my research.

— Walter Lord

Rocket failure is setback for North Korea’s new leader SEOUL, South Korea (NY TIMES) — For the new North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, his government’s failure to put a satellite into orbit on Friday was a $1 billion humiliation.

Mr. Kim wanted to mark his formal ascension to top political power — timed to the country’s biggest holiday in decades, the 100th birthday of his grandfather and North Korean founder, Kim Il-sung — with fi reworks, real and symbolic. And the launching of its Kwangmyongsong, or Bright Shining Star, satellite

was the marquee event.

On Friday, the satellite disintegrated in a different kind of fi reworks. The rocket carrying it exploded midair about two minutes after the liftoff, according to American, South Korean and Japanese officials. The rocket and satellite, which cost the impoverished country an estimated $450 million to build, according to South Korean government estimates, splintered into many pieces and plunged into the gray blue waters of the Yellow Sea.

Obamas paid 20.5% in income taxes, their 2011 returns show WASHINGTON (NY TIMES) — President Obama and his wife, Michelle, reported adjusted gross income of $789,674 in 2011 and paid just over 20 percent of it to the federal government in taxes.

Their income declined nearly $1 million from the previous year, when the president was reaping larger amounts from sales of his best-selling books. The numbers were disclosed in the Obamas’ federal income tax return and gift-tax return, released Friday by the White House, along with those of Vice President Joseph R.

Biden Jr. Mr. and Mrs. Obama paid $162,074 in income taxes, an effective tax rate of 20.5 percent. In a statement, the White House suggested that Mr. Obama believed that he should pay a higher rate, noting that his administration wants to reform the tax code and ask “the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share while protecting families making under $250,000.”

Mr. Biden and his wife, Jill, reported adjusted gross income of $379,035 and paid $87,900 in federal tax, an effective tax rate of 23 percent. That is roughly the same as what the couple reported last year.

As nuclear talks with Iran restart, new hopes for deal

ISTANBUL (NY TIMES) — Diplomats gathered here on Friday for talks with Iran about its nuclear enrichment program, with European offi cials suggesting that a serious commitment from Iran to negotiate may be enough to continue the talks at another round in late May. Iran agreed to resume these talks with six major world powers — the fi ve permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, plus Germany — after more than a year without any negotiations, raising hopes in the West that Tehran might be ready to strike a deal over its nuclear program, which it denies has any military intent.

The six do not always agree among themselves about tactics, but do want to ensure that Iran will not become a nuclearweapons-capable state and that it will comply with its requirements under the Non-Proliferation Treaty to open its facilities to complete inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Connifey: Fallen police chief was a hero; saved fellow officer then ‘went back into the fight’ Law enforcement community saddened by fatal shooting

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

BARTLETT — The local law enforcement community is saddened and angered by Thursday night’s shootings during a drug raid in Greenland which took the life of soon-to-retire police chief Michael Maloney, 48.

Maloney was killed Thursday night and four other offi cers were shot while executing a search warrant.

The gunman, Cullen Mutrie, 29, and an unnamed woman also died that night in an apparent double suicide or murder suicide.

Bartlett police chief Tim Connifey spent Thursday night at the Portsmouth Hospital, where the injured officers were brought after the shootings.

A close personal friend who skied often with Maloney, Connifey — like all other offi cers interviewed Friday — expressed condolences.

“He was just a great guy — funloving, gregarious; he loved his family and life,” said Connifey, chief of police in Bartlett for 10 years. “I knew him from when I was on the Seacoast — I was chief of police in Newfi elds, which is just two towns away from Greenland. We used to do security work together at the [Seabrook] plant after 9/11.”

He said he knew all of the offi cers involved. The fact that Maloney, as a chief, was an active part of the operation does not surprise him in the least.

“Like all small-town chiefs, we

have to be hands-on managers,” said Connifey, who runs a department that includes four full-time offi cers, including the chief, and four parttime officers. “The mathematics have to be part of it — Greenland has six full-time offi cers, so he was assisting the drug task force as they were trying to serve a search warrant.”

Connifey says the true story of the shootings is just starting to emerge.

“This is still a very active investigation,” said Connifey, “but he was not the fi rst offi cer shot. He went into the line of fi re to grab a fellow police officer by his ballistic vest and pulled him to safety to the police cruiser so they could transport him to the hospital. That offi cer is alive and talking today because of chief Maloney. After putting him in the cruiser for transport, chief Maloney then went back into the fi ght.

He was a hero, and please use that word,” said Connifey.

Former Waterville Valley police chief Butch Burbank — now a health and safety offi cer for the Local Government Center in Concord, who supervised a police offi cer training session at the now-closed HeritageNew Hampshire this week with Connifey — also was well-acquainted with Maloney and two of the other offi cers of the fi ve who were injured or killed.

“LLG coordinated the search to find a replacement for chief Maloney, as he was to retire. We had just completed that process at the beginning see HERO page 16

DIGEST OF STORIES IN THE SUN THIS WEEK

Saturday, April 7 * Unusually big storms and freakishly warm weather happening around the country suggest that steps should be taken to address climate change, says a Concordbased environmental group. * Voters at North Conway Water Precinct’s annual meeting last week approved raises for precinct employees, a new pumper truck for the fi re department and a bond article to upgrade the wastewater treatment plant. * Former Kennett High star Jeff Locke, who pitched his way to the Major Leagues last summer for the Pittsburgh Pirates, is on the cover of the Conway Town Report. * Conway Budget Committee wraps up its season and offers a round of applause of chairman David Sordi, who was presiding over his final meeting. * Eggs hunts, breakfasts and other special observances are planned for this Easter weekend.

Tele-Talk Should a charter commission be established to consider changes to Conway’s form of government?

About a quarter of Conway’s 6,000 registered voters went to the polls this week to elect officers and vote on over 50 other town and school warrant articles. This ballot vote followed deliberative meetings attended by a total of about 200 people last month. Low voter participation is a concern in elections across the country, and Conway is no exception. But questions have been raised for years about whether the town meeting form of government is still working in Conway. A proposal to create a charter commission to review the town’s form of government was attached to an article to “rescind” the budget committee and basically make it an advisory board only. That article was defeated. However, incumbent selectman Mike DiGregorio was re-elected, and he listed a review of the town charter as one of his priorities.

This week’s question is: Should a charter commission be established to consider changes to Conway’s form of government?

Tuesday, April 10 * It’s voting day in Conway. All-day kindergarten is among 21 articles on the school ballot. The fate of the budget committee will be decided on the town side.

There are also contested races for selectman, budget committee and school board. * With over 55 warrant articles to be decided Tuesday, town clerk Rhoda Quint advises voters to do their homework before entering the voting booth. * A man is facing misdemeanor charges in connection with a brush fi re in Conway last Friday. Two other fires, including a home fire in Bartlett and a brush fire off West Side Road in Bartlett, are still under investigation. * 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 they stand poised to hire former North Conway Water Precinct superintendent Gary Chandler.

Wednesday, April 11 * Stacy Sand and incumbent Mike DiGregorio wins seats on the Conway Board of Selectmen. Articles to reduce the role of the budget committee are defeated. see DIGEST page 8

Friday, April 13 * More details emerge about the case against Justin Roy, a 33-year-old Albany man arrested in connection with the severe beating of a 2-year-old child in December.

IN REVIEW NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Santorum Exits PITTSBURGH — Now we’re getting someplace.

Over the past several days, Mitt Romney has turned his attention to the fight against Barack Obama, Rick Santorum has left the Republican race, and Newt Gingrich has signaled that he sees what’s coming and will support the eventual Republican nominee.

That’s a start for the Republicans. But seeing the road ahead and knowing how to traverse it are two different things, and here both Santorum and Gingrich provide guideposts.

Santorum leaves behind a formidable coalition of religious conservatives who are worried about social and moral corrosion and feeling the effects of the recession more sharply than Romney’s supporters. The former Massachusetts governor does not speak to their issues, nor in their idiom. They will support him in November, but not ardently.

Now take the remarks former Speaker Gingrich made in Magnolia, Del., just the other day: “I find it very difficult to get across to the national media that when we’re out here with everyday Americans,” he said, “there is a real desire to clarify how we are going to beat Obama; there’s a real desire that we have a conservative candidate with a conservative platform.”

Embedded in this Magnolia Statement are two points: The first is that the national media are out of touch. No big revelation there. The second — more striking now that Santorum has suspended his campaign and his supporters are in suspended animation — is that the Republicans still haven’t figured out how to reconcile what many of them want (a conservative nominee) with what they likely will get (Mitt Romney).

Indeed, this will be the second straight election in which the Republicans are caught in that conundrum. The last time, they nominated Sen. John McCain, every Democrat’s favorite Republican and, though he was a geographical descendant of Barry Goldwater, who ran for president from Arizona, he was not an ideological descendant of the father of modern Republican conservatism. This is a frustrating development for conservatives; Venus, for example, crosses the sun’s disk twice in a lifetime, but not twice in four years.

Unlike the transit of Venus, though, the transit of a moderate Republican across the political sky now seems like a regular occurrence. That is especially so because Santorum, with just over $1 million in the bank, did not survive to fight even in Pennsylvania, where his prospects were not sunny despite his home-field advantage.

Expect the frustration to build, not abate, now.

Members of Team Santorum had every reason to think their man was ideally suited for the primaries that followed Pennsylvania. He was well positioned to sweep through Indiana, North Carolina, West Virginia, Nebraska, Arkansas and Kentucky, perhaps even to prevail in Texas, where the usual Romney advantages would have been blunted because his staff had not bothered to establish a

ground organization there, figuring Gov. Rick Perry would be unbeatable in his home state.

Look at Texas and its tantalizing 155 delegates, more than in the first five contests — in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida and Nevada — combined. On paper, Romney fits roughly into the Bush profile: a wealthy politician with an Ivy League degree and an overachieving father with solid Republican bona fides. But those are surface comparisons. The two Bushes literally dug beneath the surface in the oil business and got their boots dusty on the dry plains of West Texas.

Though Santorum didn’t survive until the Texas primary, the identity crisis within the GOP will. It is reminiscent of the crisis among liberal Democrats in the late 1940s after the party lost control of Capitol Hill in 1946 and had a rebellion on the right (when the Dixiecrats walked out of the 1948 Democratic National Convention) and on the left (when former Vice President Henry A. Wallace ran for president as a Progressive).

Now the Republicans have conflicting emotions.

On the one hand, they can celebrate the virtual completion of the nomination process, ending a senseless bludgeoning of their standard-bearer that instead should have built him up as he triumphed over his adversaries. But at the same time there are traces of despair in the air now that Santorum is gone. At best the Republicans are in like with their apparent nominee; hardly any of them fell in love.

The Santorum faction is not the only portion of the Republican coalition that seems aimless right now.

On Capitol Hill, House Republicans haven’t settled on a narrative for the November election. They thought it would be a brutal critique of Barack Obama, but top GOP strategists fear that the president has controlled the message so well in recent months that their original plans need to be redrafted.

With Romney the all-but-certain nominee, House Republicans may feel they will be campaigning on their own. They look at Romney’s political wardrobe and see an Eisenhower jacket (no coattails) in the closet. The greatest irony of Campaign 2012 is the high number of endorsements Romney has won — and the low level of enthusiasm he has generated.

That profile matches the one the first George Bush sketched as he ran for president in 1988, but he became the only vice president since Martin Van Buren to be elected directly to the White House. So there is hope for Romney. His quest for the nomination may have ended Tuesday, but the challenges he encountered remain — and the departure of Santorum only underlines the difficulties he faces.

What mandate in voting for DiGregorio?

To the editor: Two recent Conway Sun editorials suggest that the editor may need some editing.

First, the Sun, operating from the biggest bully pulpit in Carroll County as it continues to set the agenda, chose not to support Kelly Murphy for school board. All fine and well, but then to my shock, added that her “life’s plate is already too full to be a fully-engaged school board member.” How do you spell misogyny? This wasn’t even subtle; it was blatant sexism.

It’s one thing to recommend a candidate; it’s quite another to use a candidate as a dart board. Is it no wonder that so few sign up for public service in Conway.

The second editorial stated that Mike DiGregorio with

whom the Sun’s editor seems to have an ongoing political love affair and who fi nished second to Stacy Sand for selectman, won a “mandate.”

Huh! What mandate? Mike did not beat the other two opponents by what could be termed a wide margin. In fact, he beat Steve Porter 727-696. More importantly, he crafted and touted as part of his campaign, Articles 34 and 35, designed to render the budget committee impotent. Both badly fl awed articles were soundly trashed by the voters. If that’s a mandate, I wonder what a victory would be called?

And speaking of the election, it would be nice if the entire results were clearly posted by the Sun. Ted Sares North Conway

Elected officials should never be arrogant To the editor: Mr. DiGregorio shows again why I did not vote for him. He has no class. When interviewed he stated, “The message is the people of this town do not want extremists running this town” listing candidates Robert Drinkhall, William Masters and Ray Shakir.” That is real classy on his part. Instead of graciously accepting the will of the people, he bad mouthed the people who were defeated.

As a past two-term selectman in another town, I never considered as myself as “running the town.” I was voted in as a member of the governing body that admin-

istered the funds which the taxpayers elected me to do.

Mr. DiGregorio is arrogant!

An elected offi cial should never be arrogant. To call individuals who have come forward to serve the public and are fi scally conservative and that have listened to the people while in other capacities on other town boards, to be called “extremists” is an insult to their integrity.

I hope that the people who voted you in will monitor your performance as I will and I hope that they will realize what a mistake it was to re-elect you to the board of selectman.

It’s a Small World After All It has been a few days now since the Sherman Brothers’ famous Disney song last fi lled my head during the simple but lovely Magic Kingdom ride of the same name. I was surprised a bit that Charlie would want to wait in yet another hour-long line to take part in this purely atavistic experience. But in retrospect there is something very centering about spending a few minutes floating along through an archetypal Disney collection fi lled with the images of eternally happy children from around the world. Naturally, the real world is not completely fi lled with happy children and even the joy of some of the young ones wandering the Magic Kingdom could be seen as dwindling as the long hot day in the sun and crowds slipped past. But childhood is still the last bastion of pure innocence and joy and you could see in the eyes of countless parents that happiness was the goal. There are all different kinds of happiness, of course, levels of which can be widely be viewed during an eight hour day when you are 4, 8, or 12. Parents’ joy swings too, I discovered, as feet grow tired and wallets, thin.

The happy little song, however, sticks with me this morning not for the barnacle-like cling of its lingering tune, but for what I think it stands for in this, what is widely known to be, a smaller world than ever. During our days in Florida I could not help but notice how different things are than in New England, and it was not just the palm trees, bad drivers, and warm weather. Florida has increasingly become a cultural melting pot, both of residents and visitors; a defi nitive cross-section of our larger and very diverse world. At the hotel pool one afternoon I was intrigued by the barrage of voices from as many lands as I can imagine, some recognizable from long ago high school language classes, and others as distant and strange as ours must seem to them. Add to this the diversity of skin color, and clothing, and costumes, even, and a lowbudget Orlando resort becomes a microcosm of our world view today. And, not for the first time, instead of feeling like host, I felt more

like a guest. In so many many ways this is not the familiar country of our immigrant ancestors, anymore.

I am also intrigued by how people today who move comfortably in and out of wide social circles, still cluster in familiar ways at the end of the day. Naturally, it has always been so, and I am reminded that people of different nations and cultures tend to emigrate and then settle together, little bands of explorers out looking for a new and familiar kind of place to call home. The Scots fl oated to places like Nova Scotia and Canada, Norwegians to places like Minnesota, and Cubans have for years gathered in south Florida where the climate is familiar and the language is as often as not, their own. Even at our school where kids from China and Finland study alongside their counterparts from Fryeburg, Lovell and Conway, at the end of the day they usually want to gather and regroup among familiar faces and languages; a reward of sorts as if the effort of the day in an unfamiliar setting required a reprieve. It was the same that week in Florida where people of similar backgrounds endlessly gravitated to be near to one another.

Together we watched clusters of extended families make their way from pool to park to lunch, all in one long stream of laughter and loud voices and, at least at the start of the day, an unbridled sense of joy.

Perhaps this is so here, too, though the contrasts between people are less obvious and therefore do not so convincingly distract.

Today’s New England has become a melting pot, too, and it is easy to find ourselves everso-slightly out of sync with our neighbors.

Except for those of us who get to live on long winding forest roads, or who perch on remote and lonely mountaintops, our little valley is in so many ways a microcosm for what is a larger, yet smaller world. It is not like Florida, yet, nor is it like Manchester or Boston; but even here it is a small world after all.

To the editor: It’s always a lot of fun to open up The Conway Daily Sun’s editorial page and see another hysterical and irrational piece of phony journalism from the local clown who dubs herself Madam Ovary.

In her latest column, Susan Bruce drones on about how Mitt Romney is single handedly taking away women’s reproductive rights. But then the reader steps back and realizes something profound. Mitt Romney isn’t in office (yet) and has no control over anything Ms. Bruce is asserting.

At any rate her shrill piece reaches a crescendo where she states: “Women just aren’t dumb enough to buy the guano squared.”

But presumably they’re dumb enough to buy Susan Bruce’s bilge? I don’t think so.

She goes on to say, “The current recession/ depression began during the Bush administration.” Indeed, President Obama reminds almost daily the recession and current economic malaise isn’t his fault. Thanks Susan but we don’t believe a word of it.

So what’s Obama done to give us all hope and change? We have higher gas prices today than the day Obama took office, higher unemployment, sluggish economic growth, more unemployed Americans, more people on food stamps than ever before, a far higher federal debt precipitating higher inflation, higher college tuition costs, and the list goes on. All of these indicators affect women just as much as men and maybe more.

Great job Mr. Obama. You’ve had four years of fabulous campaign speeches with nothing to show for it. To deflect attention from your abysmal record you enlist lemmings like Ms. Bruce to carry your water hoping the American voter won’t notice just how completely incompetent you really are.

Oh yes, it was “cool” to vote for Obama in 2008. But now, Americans don’t want “cool.”

They want competence and leadership. And you Mr. Obama just don’t pack the gear.

Just days before fatal Greenland shooting, local police train to handle life-threatening situations

The killing of Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney and the wounding of four other officers during a drug raid in Greenland Thursday tragically underscored the dangers that police officers face on a daily basis.

The law enforcement community and citizens everywhere were saddened by the shootings.

Days before the incident, in an unrelated training exercise, 24 officers from the towns of Tamworth, Madison, Conway, Bartlett, and sheriff’s department participated in a two-day workshop at the former Heritage-New Hampshire in Glen, hosted by the Bartlett Police Department and presented by the Local Government Center of Concord.

Using real-life scenarios from incidents that have taken place throughout New England, former Waterville Valley Police Chief Butch Burbank — now a health and safety advisor for the LGC — oversaw the two-day training.

Prior to the start of Wednesday’s exercises at Heritage, Burbank in an interview said the LGC’s goal in presenting the programs is to look out for the health and safety of officers, and because they provide property liability insurance for 250 of New Hampshire’s towns and cities, to “minimize some of the potential liability for officers and the community by providing training so that they can make the best decision possible in a split second

in an incident that may take years to mitigate.”

Press were allowed to observe and photograph the sessions.

Making it real The biggest difference between real life and the training, Burbank and Connifey noted prior to the exercise, is that in training, offi cers get second chances.

After each exercise, offi cers are debriefed.

“We don’t tell them what they did wrong,” said Burbank. “Instead, we ask them if there’s anything they felt they could have done differently, and we provide suggestions.”

‘Shootout at a bar’ That was proven during an exercise based on a story line of a gun-firing man exiting a bar in Connecticut.

As the press stood off to one side, protected by Darth Vader-like black helmets and bright vests handed out

by Burbank’s staff, Bartlett Offi cer George Cole accompanied by Burbank responded to the call.

Cole drove a patrol car to the back of Heritage, which for the day’s exercise, served as the bar.

As they responded to the call, the enraged man (portrayed by former Durham Fire Chief Ron O’Keefe) — came storming out, yelling obscenities and fi ring at Cole, who had exited the vehicle and was able to fire a shot.

Unknown to Cole and fellow offi cers who later also did the exercise, Cole’s weapon malfunctioned — as see next page

Medical precautions In a second staged incident during the training Wednesday, a young man who had been reported missing by his â&#x20AC;&#x153;parents,â&#x20AC;? was eventually located by ofďŹ cers in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bathroom, where he was discovered to have caused life-threatening, self-inďŹ&#x201A;icted wounds to himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kevin?â&#x20AC;? shouted Bartlett ofďŹ cer Cheryl Harris to the despondent, seated victim in the middle of the bathroom ďŹ&#x201A; oor, assisted by fellow Bartlett ofďŹ cer John Sutton, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kevin!

Did you take your medication today?

Kevin, we are here to help you! Kevin, can you hear me?â&#x20AC;?

As they treated â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kevin,â&#x20AC;? an actor who was hired by the LGC along with others to play their scripted role, the ofďŹ cers also dealt ďŹ rmly with the upset â&#x20AC;&#x153;parents,â&#x20AC;? who also were actors, helping them to understand that help from medical crews was on the way

day sessions a year.

The facility was made available to Chief Connifey of Bartlett by Story Land general manager Eric Dziedzic and assistant general manager Jack Mahany.

Heritage has been closed since 2006. Much of the interior contents have been donated to organizations such as the Mount Washington Valley Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Museum, according to Mahany. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys have always been great in helping us out, as have been Attitash and other businesses in town,â&#x20AC;? said Connifey prior to heading into Heritage for a staged incident that was to involve an agitated young man who was said as part of the exercise to be reported missing by his parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eric mentioned to me a few years ago that the park he worked at in Connecticut made itself available for police exercises, and that we could use Heritage if we wanted.

did the weapons for all the other ofďŹ cers when they went through the scripted session. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that was going to happen, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the exercise,â&#x20AC;? said Burbank, who said the gunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magazine locked back (something which usually happens once itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s empty).

It left Cole exposed in front of the patrol car as the gunman ďŹ red away with his soap-tipped bullets, striking the exposed ofďŹ cer.

In the subsequent debrieďŹ ng, Burbank suggested how Cole could have used the vehicle as protection.

Cole listened, and for Take 2, for starters, he did not step out in front of the patrol car as he had done the ďŹ rst time.

Instead, as the man came toward the car, ďŹ ring away, Cole stepped behind the patrol car and was able to ďŹ re a round.

Once again, his gun jammed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this time, however, using the protection of the vehicle, he moved backward behind the patrol car, reloading the gunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magazine as he did so, as all ofďŹ cers are trained to do at the Police Academy.

Then, from the back of the car, he was able to fire rounds into the perpetrator, who was still firing at him from the front of the car. Protected by the car, Cole fired over the roof of the vehicle from the back, hitting the perpetrator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The point was to let the ofďŹ cer ďŹ gure it out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I never want to give ofďŹ cers the impression he did anything wrong, but to ask them if they agree if we could have done this better,â&#x20AC;? said Burbank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they say yes, I show them what has worked in other places: might you have wanted to get cover a little longer? Getting cover and getting the weapon back in service is the objective of this scenario.â&#x20AC;?

TRAINING from page 13

and that they could be of greatest assistance by letting police do their job.

Part of that exercise’s training, Connifey and Burbank said, is to educate offi cers about health precautions when responding to an incident.

“One of the most important points with that exercise was that the victim was bleeding, and you never know what you’re going to deal with, so we want to get police offi cers informed of how to take precautions to deal with blood borne disease before the medical help arrives. It’s like they say — it’s like a bullet that will kill you 20 years from now, with such issues as Hepatitis C, or AIDS, or MRSA,” said Connifey.

‘Worthwhile exercise’ Connifey, chief in Bartlett for 10 years, said the two-day exercise was helpful because it prepares officers for real-world situations.

“Any time you can have training,” said Connifey, standing in back of Heritage, “is a good thing, because as cops we’re pretty hands-on. If you have to read it in a book or watch it in a book, it’s not the same as doing it. As cops, we like to be doing things, so we like to have that training, too. This holds our interest.”

“I think it was excellent training situation. I wish we could get more of it. We were lucky to be able to host it with LGC and to train a number of officers here in Mount Washington Valley,” said Connifey.

“These officers have all been through police academies,” said Burbank, “where they are taught tactics to keep themselves safe. We look to add to that. We look, for example, at such things as verbal commands, for officer presence — a lot of times an officer’s verbal presence gets people’s attention. We call it ‘loud and proud.’

“We can never get enough training, so this was very important,” said Connifey. “I understand how in small communities especially, choices have to be made. But, this type of training is invaluable, as small town officers some times have to make split-second decisions, and some times they are life and death. The better trained we are, the better equipped we are to handle these situations.”

We don’t tell officers are wrong, we tell them what we’ve observed. Things like that.”

“If you’ve seen it here in training,” said Burbank, “then hopefully when they confront it on the street, it won’t be the first time they’ve seen it; they’ll say I’ve been here, I’ve seen it, and I can handle it,” said Burbank.

Police: Training is key Interviewed later in the week after the tragic shootings in Greenland, both Connifey and Burbank expressed their sadness and outrage, while also agreeing that the training sessions are necessary — even in times when many communities see needs to cut back, due to the challenging economic times.

“We can never get enough training, so this was very important,” said Connifey. “I understand how in small communities especially, choices have to be made. But, this type of training is invaluable, as small town officers some times have to make split-second decisions, and some times they are life and death. The better trained we are, the better equipped we are to handle these situations.”

MANCHESTER —Attacks on police officers are on the rise in the country, event though violent crime has decreased.

In New Hampshire, in addition to the attack in Greenland which killed Chief Michael Maloney and wounded four other offi cers, the most recent attack was on Manchester offi cer Dan Doherty who was shot five times during a pursuit on March 28 and is now recovering from those wounds.

The last time a Manchester police offi cer was shot in the line of duty was on Oct. 16, 2006, when officer Michael Briggs was shot and killed.

While responding to a SWAT call on Oct. 3, 1994, in Gilford, Sgt. James Noyes of Madison was shot and killed during an attempt to save an elderly man from harming himself.

This year’s shootins in Greeland and Manchester are part of an alarming trend, according to an

April 9 story in the New York Times.

Statistics compiled by the F.B.I. show that 72 officers were killed by perpetrators in 2011, a 25 percent increase from the previous year and a 75 percent increase from 2008.

It was the fi rst time more offi cers were killed by suspects than car accidents, according to data compiled by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. The number was the highest in nearly two decades, excluding those who died in the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001 and the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.

The F.B.I., which has tracked offi cer deaths since 1937, paid for a study conducted by John Jay College that found that in many cases the officers were trying to arrest or stop a suspect who had previously been arrested for a violent crime.

of this past week,” said Burbank, who expressed the sadness and anger that all of the police brotherhood share at times like these.

Conway police chief Ed Wagner said the law enforcement community is like a family. Conway police will send representatives to the Seacoast for Maloney’s service and to show support for the other officers who were wounded.

“I didn’t know the chief but that doesn’t matter,” said Wagner.

Conway police also sent representatives to services for Manchester police offi cer Michael Briggs who was killed in action a few years ago.

This tragedy shows how dangerous police work can be — even in a small town like Greenland, said Wagner.

“If it can happen in Greenland it can happen anywhere in the world and in the state,” said Wagner adding events like this hit home especially hard when they occur in New Hampshire.

Not too many people go to work thinking they might get shot but an officer has to put that in the back of his or her mind every day, said Wagner.

Sheriff Christopher Conley echoed Wagner’s comments about law enforcement being like a family. The Carroll County Sheriff’s Offi ce will

also be sending representatives to the memorial service. As news of the shooting unfolded, Conley thought of his deputies who go out into the community to serve civil process.

“This hurts,” said Conley of the Greenland shooting.

Conley said he met Maloney during a function at the New Hampshire Police Academy.

Conley said Maloney made the “ultimate sacrifi ce” and that’s not something just anyone would do.

State Police Lt. William Magee, of Troop E, said the Greenland shooting “hits close to home” and was a reminder of the painful losses New Hampshire law enforcement has suffered over the years. The losses include the deaths of Troopers James Noyes, Gary Parker, Joseph Gearty, Leslie Lord and Scott Phillips and municipal police offi cers Jeremy Charron, Bruce McKay and Michael Briggs.

Madison police chief James Mullen said Maloney was on an oral board team that interviewed him for the Madison police chief’s position about six years ago. Mullen was also saddened by the shooting. He wants to attend services for Maloney and hopes the other officers pull through.

Reporter Tom Eastman contributed to this story.

The first Fryeburg section of the Mountain Division Trail opened last fall. (JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTO) TRAIL from page 48

Over a decade ago, 22 organizations, including Greater Portland Council of Governments, came together to form the Mountain Division Alliance, “a coalition dedicated to restoring rail service and enhancing the line with a recreational trail.”

A study shows a six-mile trail section in Standish has an average usage of 50 people per hour.

Kinsman said the trail has helped to bring the community together.

“You see people out there before and after work and others during the day,” said Kinsman. “I run

into people out there I have not seen in years. It is a community resource that is getting people and families out there exercising.”

A few years ago, the Maine Department of Transportation received $1.3 million in federal funds for the current Fryeburg project through the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA).

The Mountain Division Trail follows the original Portland and Ogdensburg Railway, built to connect Portland with the St. Lawrence Seaway in Ogdensburg, N.Y., with another spur leading to Montreal.

The railroad was later purchased by the Maine Central and renamed the Mountain Division

The view west from the South Ledges of Mount Paugus.

Hiking ––––– Ed Parsons

Beating the rain

If you are addicted to hiking in the Whites, you may have a certain hike that you reserve for days of approaching bad weather. You just have to get outside for a hike, and are confident you can accomplish a certain loop before weather hits.

The 7-mile loop that I’ve done a few times on Mount Paugus (3,198 feet) fits that description. It is all in the woods except for the palatial South Ledges near the summit — an interesting place to see the unusual streaming clouds of approaching weather from the west. The trail up the mountain is steep and ledgey in places, and has great vistas near the top. Upon leaving the top you are able to descend quickly, and head down a steep trail with few roots and rocks.

The three times that I have done this loop hike, it started precipitating near the end of the hike when I was on the flats within a half mile of my car.

This Wednesday, it started raining there. But it was only a brief shower, and the sun was mostly out. The forecast that morning had been 50 percent chance of showers from 9 a.m. on. But it didn’t happen.

It was a relief. A good hiking buddy of mine had come on the hike, and we did my “approaching bad weather loop” on a beautiful, partly sunny day.

Driving in Paugus Mill Road that morning, we weren’t sure how the weather would turn, and came prepared for showers. We also hit some big ruts in the road that had formed during the hot spell. But the mud had retuned to firmness, and it was easy to straddle them.

The parking lot at the end of this road is a great place to start a hike. The old logging road you head in on is fl at. There are a number of trail options, including trails for Mount Paugus and Mount Cho-

corua.

Heading for Mount Paugus, we bore left on the Bolles Trail, then another left on the Old Paugus Trail.

In the next 2.8 miles to the South Ledges (the actual summit of Paugus is a 0.3 mile scratchy bushwhack to the north, with no view), the variety of terrain we passed was amazingly diverse. After a gentle uphill walk next to Whitin Brook, we bore right up the mountain on increasingly steep terrain.

We approached a steep boulder filled gap in a cliff.

The trail bore right part way up the gap, and swung back around above the cliff on reasonable terrain.

But we decided to scramble straight up the gap, and rejoin the trail above. Nothing wrong with a little light adventure. see next page

REKLIS Lingering ice on a cliff face, part way up the Old Paugus Trail. from preceding page

Above that, on a pleasant conifer ridge, we passed the turnoff for the Bee Line Trail, which we would return to later for our fast descent of the mountain.

The rest to the way to top was an engrossing bumpy ridge, where we passed occasional ice patches, and took care on smooth wet ledges. A couple beautiful lookouts along the way satisfi ed our desire to see the vistas out over the Bearcamp River valley to the south, and east across a steep valley to Mount Chocorua.

Finally we walked over a rise and bore left down to the South Ledges and lunch. To my satisfaction, there was no sign of immediate change in the weather.

This is one of the great spots in

the mountains. The view west of the Sandwich Range is spectacular. There is some interesting rippled rock on the South Ledges, formed by the constant fl ow of water from wet humus above.

The rock is granite, softer than the metamorphic schist found on many White Mountain summits.

In half an hour we headed back down and turned onto the Bee Line Trail in 0.7 miles. From there, it was a mile straight down this mostly obstruction free dirt path into the steep valley of Paugus Brook.

Later, it was a pleasure to be back on flat terrain. We walked out the Bee Line Cutoff to the Bolles Trail, and soon completed our loop as we walked by the turnoff for the Old Paaugus Trail.

Then, just for a little continuity, a half mile from the car, it rained.

Country EcologyDavid Eastman

Common merganser Common mergansers are sociable birds found swimming on lakes and rivers throughout the Northern Hemisphere. They are divers and fi sh eaters in our northeastern wilds, and have the widest distribution of all mergansers. The unmistakable males show up on our ponds and small lakes in April after ice-out, but are so conspicuous that some mistake them for early common loons returning. Uh-huh.

Those guys have yet to come in from the Atlantic coast at that time, in order to reclaim their breeding territories on New Hampshire’s lakes, but will soon enough. It is the black and white coloring of the big common mergansers drakes’ plumage at a distance that confuses the onlooker.

The male birds’ long, narrow bill with its serrated edges readily distinguishes mergansers from all other ducks. This pointed, thin bill is bright carmine red with a blackish culmen and nail. Common mergansers are among the largest ducks, and have been called “Goosanders.” Sawbill is another moniker as this bird’s hooked upper bill with sharp saw-like edges helps hold onto slippery fish. Less stocky than eiders and goldeneyes in fl ight, the slender drakes appear more elongated than other waterfowl, fl ying in trailing lines close to the water’s surface.

Male common mergansers have a glossy, greenish-black crested head and upper neck. The lower neck, breast and underparts are creamy-white with a variable pink wash. They have black backs and upperwing coverts with white scapulars. The legs and feet are a deep red. Female common mergansers have a tufted rufous, red-brown head that is clearly defined from the lower neck by a clear whitish chin.

The back and sides are “Quaker lady” silver-gray and the breast and belly are white.

It is the black and white coloring of the big common mergansers drakes’ plumage at a distance that confuses the onlooker.

This is a diving duck that strongly prefers freshwater, where it can be found on a variety of habitats. It forages by diving below the water’s surface and swimming underwater, propelled by its webbed feet. Mergansers require fish in their diet. They can sometimes be seen swimming on the surface, curiously peering under it with their heads partially submerged, and then diving after prey underwater whenever it is spotted. That is very interesting when they do it as a group, cruising around our New Hampshire ponds with the intense purpose of a fl otilla. The mergansers’ diet is mostly fi sh, but also crustaceans, amphibians, aquatic insects, and occasionally aquatic plants. Typical dives last about 30 seconds and can go six to 15 feet below water.

Mating pairs form in late winter.

The common merganser usually nests in tree cavities, either made by large woodpeckers or created where a limb broke off. It will also use a nest box constructed a bit bigger than for a wood duck. Infrequently a common merganser might make its nest in a rock crevice lined with down, a hole in the ground, a hollow log, in an old building, or even in a chimney. Common merganser hens begin laying eggs about two weeks after arrival, and she will incubate them for 28 to 32 days. Females select the nest site and often return to the same one used in previous years. Many times in the far north, there are no cavities of the size demanded by a common merganser pair. The species measures 21 to 27 inches in length.

Young common mergansers leave their nest hole within a day or so of hatching. The mother protects the seven to 14 chicks, but she does not feed them. They dive to catch all of their own food. They eat mostly aquatic insects at fi rst, but switch over to fi sh when they are about 12 days old. Eventually, frogs and salamanders can be eaten as they grow up, along with crustaceans, shellfi sh, and mollusks.

We will see the little family of the hen merganser and her similarly plumaged chicks throughout

the summer months. Maybe out in the middle of a lake or running up on a river’s rocks, in a rapid pitterpatter of little feet. We might see the drakes zooming up the same river, just barely passing over a bridge to continue their way up a riverine corridor. And any of these ducklings can easily fl oat downriver in fast currents with their mother. They look like champion kayakers then. Even in the shallowest rushing waters, they extend their heads underwater, avidly peering for finny prey.

The birds are extremely nonchalant in this pursuit. Both chicks and mom seem to know a river’s riffl es by heart as they head downstream; easily missing the rocks they fl ow between. I have even seen a duckling brood cruise down through the rapids backwards, facing upstream with immersed heads looking at the bottom below. I especially like it whenever I see the little family group scamper up ledges and rocks during white water moments to get to waters above, adequately handling New Hampshire’s demanding environment.

My husband met up with some of our friends the other night. As they sat around talking, one couple asked him if I had enjoyed my Easter up in Bangor, Maine. When he got home, he asked me the same question. I was a bit confused by his query since he knew perfectly well that I had spent Easter here in Conway with him. Suddenly I came up with the answer. I was rather busy with end of quarter stats last week and my good buddy, Jill Reynolds wrote the Gleanings last week. Thanks Jill. It was a great column.

I want to let everyone know that we have a special fundraiser coming up at Joseph’s Spaghetti Shed off Route 302 in Glen on Monday, May 7, from 4:30 to 9 p.m. Gibson will receive 20 percent of all sales made during that time. Moreover, there will be a special door prize awarded that day — golf for four at the North Conway Country Club, a $240 value.

Also starting next week, Karen will be holding her “Chance Auctions” in the dining room. These events support all the programs and activities we offer here at Gibson. We hope you will join us. Don’t forget there are still two weeks left to participate in the Feinstein Challenge. Our members and friends have been most generous over the years and in these diffi cult economic times we want to thank you for your generosity.

Remember to check below for upcoming programs and trips taking place at Gibson or go to our website at www.gibsoncenter.org.

Have a wonderful week and God bless!

DILBERT

by Darby Conley

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can be so open to unusual, original and novel ideas that sometimes you miss the obvious route to success. That’s why it helps to have a very pragmatic friend around to point it out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’re usually an optimist, but not today. You won’t look for the sunny side or believe in potential. Instead, you’ll see what is and decide how you can improve upon it. With a little work, you’ll do just that.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ).

Instead of striving for excellence in everything, choose two important categories and give them your all. Hint: “Laundry” is not one of these categories. Live bigger than that.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’re a busy person who still finds the time to reach out to other busy people, and they are happy to know you, if only for a few minutes. It’s amazing what you’ll accomplish in the span of a day.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There you go again, using your charms on people who are unprepared for them.

Keep this up, and you could accidentally make someone fall in love with you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 14).

Your love is a magic gift. Those close to you will thrive as a direct result of receiving your love. You’ll follow your interests with new zeal and branch out to different territory. By the end of the year, you’ll be an expert on a new subject. The next six weeks bring fi nancial opportunity, so dive in. A romantic connection deepens in August. Leo and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 40, 33, 28 and 17.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19 ). You’ll display the signals that indicate that you’re mildly interested in what someone has to offer you. Your reservations make you more appealing. You hold back because you know it will make the other person reach.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be a diplomat and a caring friend. The words you say will matter far less than your intention to make another person feel better about what has happened.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll keep going when the odds are against you, which offi cially makes you the underdog. Of course, everyone loves the underdog -- especially if they know the whole story. So tell it!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A blind person can experience love at fi rst sight. There are so many factors that come together to create amorous feelings, and looks are not the most important. You’ll experience something new igniting in your heart.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your schedule will become hectic and overwhelming if you let it. You have allies who really want to help you. By simply allowing this help to occur, your life will become beautiful again.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your love life gets interesting, primarily because of the puzzling and possibly maddening words you hear from an intriguing someone. You’ll like how this develops.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Even top athletes have physical limitations.

Accept your current condition as a starting point, and be grateful for all you can already do. You have the vitality to engage life to the fullest.

Today is Saturday, April 14, the 105th day of 2012. There are 261 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 14, 1912, the British liner RMS Titanic collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic at 11:40 p.m. ship’s time and began sinking. (The ship went under two hours and 40 minutes later with the loss of 1,514 lives.)

On this date: In 1775, the first American society for the abolition of slavery was formed in Philadelphia.

In 1828, the fi rst edition of Noah Webster’s “American Dictionary of the English Language” was published.

In 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth during a performance of “Our American Cousin” at Ford’s Theater in Washington.

In 1902, James Cash Penney opened his first store, The Golden Rule, in Kemmerer, Wyo. In 1910, President William Howard Taft became the first U.S. chief executive to throw the ceremonial first pitch at a baseball game as the Washington Senators beat the Philadelphia Athletics 3-0.

In 1931, King Alfonso XIII of Spain went into exile, and the Second Spanish Republic was proclaimed.

In 1939, the John Steinbeck novel “The Grapes of Wrath” was first published by Viking Press.

In 1949, the “Wilhelmstrasse Trial” in Nuremberg ended with 19 former Nazi Foreign Office offi cials sentenced by an American tribunal to prison terms ranging from four to 25 years.

In 1956, Ampex Corp. demonstrated its videotape recorder at the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters Convention in Chicago.

In 1960, the musical “Bye Bye Birdie” opened on Broadway.

In 1981, the fi rst test flight of America’s first operational space shuttle, the Columbia, ended successfully with a landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

In 1986, Americans got word of a U.S. air raid on Libya (because of the time difference, it was the early morning of April 15 where the attack occurred.) French feminist author Simone de Beauvoir died in Paris at age 78.

One year ago: Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi rolled defiantly through the streets of Tripoli the same day NATO air strikes shook the city.

North Korean confi rmed it was holding an American who was detained in November 2010, reportedly for proselytizing. (Eddie Jun was freed in May 2011.)

GIRL CHASING LIMELIGHT SHOULD KEEP HER FEET ON THE GROUND

DEAR ABBY: I am a 16-year-old girl and I want to become famous. My mom says that’s not a real job. I was in magazines when I was little, but now that I’m older, I want to be a singer or actress. What should I do? -- HEADING FOR FAME IN OHIO DEAR HEADING: Listen to your mother. Fame, if one can achieve it, is usually accomplished after years of planning and hard work. If there is community theater in your area, volunteer and become involved. Plan to study music, drama and speech -- as well as another subject so you can support yourself if it takes awhile for you to become famous. (This is called “Plan B.”) There’s an old saying: “Luck” happens at the intersection of opportunity and preparation. The trick is to be there at the right time.

DEAR ABBY: My father passed away four years ago. Right after his funeral I found a bottle of Viagra hidden in the trunk of his car. My sister and I agreed that we should keep it to ourselves and not tell my mother, but Mom and I are extremely close and I feel guilty keeping this secret.

My father had multiple affairs while he was married to Mom, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he was cheating on her.

Because of conversations that I have had with her, I am 100 percent sure she didn’t know he was using Viagra. My mother remarried two years ago. Does she have the right to know, or should my sister and I take it to our graves? -- TWO SISTERS IN CALIFORNIA DEAR SISTERS: Your father’s time on earth is over. Your mother is happily (I hope) remarried and has gone on with her life. I see no reason to revisit your father’s probable indis-

cretions at this late date. It’s time to let him and this subject rest in peace.

DEAR ABBY: I love my husband dearly, but I have a problem. He talks too much. I’ll give you an example: Instead of saying I’d had surgery, he told people I’d had surgery because when I laughed I would wet my pants, so they had to go in and re-suspend my bladder. I could hardly believe my ears.

The latest is, he posted something on Facebook about a family member that was also very personal. I have asked him many times to keep details between us, but it does no good.

What can I say to him to get this point across? I’m at a loss.

-- FRUSTRATED IN THE SOUTH DEAR FRUSTRATED: It’s not what you should say to him, it’s what you should NOT say. Because your husband lacks judgment, be careful about sharing sensitive information with him and warn your relatives to do the same.

DEAR ABBY: I have a message for seniors and others who live alone: You need a friend or neighbor to keep in touch with you. Recently at the condo complex where I live, someone complained to the management offi ce about a dog that wouldn’t stop barking. When there was no answer on the phone or at the door, they went in. The woman had died and no one knew but her dog.

Our single neighbors now make a point of keeping in touch, if only to say hello and let us know they’re OK. -CONNECTED IN PALM COURT, FLA. DEAR CONNECTED: That’s good advice -- because the sad circumstance you described happens more often than most people would think. A similar thing also occurred in a condominium development where I lived. A word to the wise ...

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

Scott was an active advocate for colon cancer screening.

When first diagnosed after learning there was no cure at the time, his fi rst action was to start the fi ght with chemo treatments and then what could he do to help others with cancer.

Scott was the Amgen Breakaway from Cancer Survivor Award Winner for 2010 — a national award for making a difference in the community and inspiring others.

He did a commercial and several TV interviews with Channel 8. He was a speaker at numerous cancer conferences and meetings around the State of Maine during the past fi ve years of his battle with cancer. He spoke at two cancer conferences in Stowe, Vt. in the past two years and did two radio shows on cancer awareness that aired on several stations in the Mid-west.

He mentored a lot of other cancer patients on their journeys. His motto was: fight the fight, fight for the cure.

He was courageous, always had a positive attitude, was respectful, honorable, honest, and a mentor to many.

He was always laughing and enjoying life. He was heroic, loved his community, loved to play sports and was a strong family man. Scott was a loving father and husband. He lit up a room when he walked in with his smile and sparkling blue eyes.

He was a big Red Sox fan and loved going to Fenway Park.

Scott is survived by his wife Angela of Lovell; three children, Jared, Allison and Spencer; nieces and nephews; and many in-laws.

A Memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 21 at 1 p.m. at the Fryeburg Academy Gym. In lieu of fl owers please consider making a donation in Scott’s name to the Lovell Volunteer Fire Department, Bridgton Hospital Oncology Clinic or Jen’s Friends Cancer Foundation in North Conway. Arrangements are under the direction of Chandler Funeral Homes and Cremation Service, 45 Main St., South Paris, Maine.

Online condolences may be shared with his family at www.chandlerfunerals.com. as well as activities for the kids.

HOME OF THE WEEK

REAL ESTATE CORNER

Home is where the hammer is

BY JASON ROBIE Although I see a cute little layer of frost on my windshield this morning (from the warmth of my offi ce), I think it is safe to say that spring has almost sprung. This past week we enjoyed a single day of sun, wind, clouds, rain and hail followed by a crystal clear starry night. If that’s not spring in New Hampshire I’m not sure what is.

The other nice change that comes along with the warmer temps and longer days is the ability to get started on your “honey-do” list, regardless of the author!

I had the luxury and pleasure of building my own home and living in that home for about two years. There is nothing quite like having everything “where” and “how” you wanted it to start with. Any of the projJason Robie ects on the list for a home you’ve designed and built yourself are typically focused on additional features that you simply ran out of time or budget to complete. But, for most of us this reality does not always happen. There are almost always projects, large and small, that linger in the back of your mind or front and center on the fridge. Spring is the perfect time to get started.

Since selling the house, I’ve moved into a great apartment across town. There had just been a significant amount of damage done to the home due to a misbehaving toilet upstairs. The owner, my landlord, walked into the house a few days after the tenants had moved out and was treated to a veritable waterfall in the kitchen and throughout the fi rst fl oor. Needless to say, his honey-do list was long, significant and costly.

For the rest of us though, that does not have to be the case. There are numerous projects that you can tackle this spring and summer that will increase both the value of the home and the joy you experience from living there. If you are currently listing your home for sale, or plan to in the very near future, these projects are also benefi cial for justifying your asking price and further enhancing the curb appeal for those who visit.

Manicuring your yard is a great project to get the younger members of your family involved in.

I would curse these words were I reading them as a teenager, but almost anyone can work a rake and make a difference. Freshening up your lawn and the surrounding areas also freshens up your home and curb appeal almost instantly. A quick trim of any shrubs or trees around the home will also help them grow and show a level of care of which buyers will take notice.

I’m a huge fan of fresh air and sunlight. I would venture to say that if you live or vacation in the Mount Washington Valley, you’re “in the car with me.” In the throes of this past winter we had a few warm spells and we talked about seizing that opportunity to open windows and freshen up the home. Now, aside from the chilly nights, we can open up and air out for most of the day. If you are planning a day of spring cleaning, take the opportunity to exchange all the air in your home for a healthy dose of the fresh stuff see ROBIE page 41

Today’s Home of the Week is a waterfront cottage on Barker Pond in Hiram.

Rare Maine waterfront cottage HIRAM — From 1882 to 1941, the Bridgton & Saco River Railroad (“The Little Train That Could”) rumbled from Hiram to Harrison carrying freight and passengers. It’s all gone now and the tracks removed, but the narrow trail it followed leads to this nice waterfront cottage on Barker Pond in Hiram.

With over 200 feet of water frontage, “The water is right under your feet from the lower deck of this rare Maine camp,” states the listing sheet.

Built in 1966, the cottage features a red brick fi replace, two large decks (lower and upper) and screened porch.

The family room with fl oorto-ceiling windows overlooks the mountains and beautiful serene lake. The interior is finished with knotty pine with cathedral ceilings and fl oors and is partially furnished.

Adding extra value is another wooded 75-by-125-foot lot that is buildable to accompany this cottage.

You won’t hear the railroad anymore, but you will hear the “call of the loons” and enjoy the rising sun at this special and unique property. Price is $249,000.

Contact Dave Dunham, of EXIT Realty Leaders, at (207) 890-5872, or see more of this property on www.davesellsmaine.com. Multiple listing number is 937143.

There are two decks overlooking the pond.

The cottage is finished with knotty pine and features a red brick fireplace.

outside. It will help keep you cool as you’re scrubbing the sink and tub, help fl ush out the chemical smells from the cleaners you are using and simply freshen up the stale winter air stuck in your home until now. It is one of my favorite springtime traditions and truly brings a smile to my face every year (although I tend to be a bit of a fresh-air junkie).

Three houses ago, in an effort to keep the wind from blowing the drapes around all winter, I applied plastic to the inside and outside of my windows. This helped immensely with heat loss but greatly diminished my ability to see the outside world. I always looked forward to that day in springtime when I could remove the plastic and let the sun shine in. As the quality of the walls and windows has improved in the places I call home, my focus has shifted from removing plastic to removing dirt and dust. Much like the story of the frog in the kettle, we tend to grow accustomed to the diminished clarity of our windows throughout the winter (and summer for that matter). Only after we’ve cleaned that fi rst window, and can compare it with the others, are we able to fully appreciate our efforts.

Just before my house sold, I wanted to clean the windows and provide a further good impression for the buyers. Unfortunately the cleaner froze to the outside glass and I was stuck waiting for a warm day to remove the layer of frozen dust and Windex.

Now that we’ve migrated into some consistently warm weather, take that winter layer off your windows and get the full dose of that vital vitamin D. There are more substantial projects that I’m sure many of you have on your lists. From adding a deck or patio to building a shed or garage, they all improve your experience with the home and could potentially add value should you decide to sell. There are dozens of projects around the home this spring that don’t need to cost a ton of money but will pay dividends in both curb appeal and the pride and joy you feel living there. The temps continue to creep up and the sun continues to climb higher. Enjoy the spring and the warmer air, but don’t forget to freshen up your home and yard. You’ll be glad you did.

Mortgage interest deduction softens blow as tax day approaches With the April 17 tax-filing deadline right around the corner, the most important tax deduction for tens of millions of middle-class families could be on the chopping block as early as next year’s tax season if some policymakers get their way.

“The mortgage interest deduction has been in existence since the inception of the federal tax code

nearly 100 years ago and is a cornerstone of U.S. tax and housing policy,” said Barry Rutenberg, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders and a home builder from Gainesville, Fla. “With many local housing markets across the see DEDUCTION page 42

DEDUCTION from page 41

nation just now showing signs of a long-awaited spring thaw following the worst downturn in decades, protecting the mortgage interest deduction and promoting tax policies that will keep homeownership affordable is very important to create jobs and keep the economy moving forward,” he added.

The deduction is broadly used across income groups and geographic areas. Data from the Joint Committee on Taxation indicate that more than 33 million families benefi tted from the deduction in 2010 and that these households saved a collective $83 billion on their tax bills.

Though the mortgage interest deduction is the primary reason that taxpayers become itemizers, critics have unfairly attacked it as a tax loophole (despite the fact that more than 33 million households claim it) and a subsidy to the rich.

Here are the facts. The mortgage interest deduction primarily helps middle class home owners and is consistent with the principles of a progressive income tax. Two-thirds of the benefi ts flow to working class American households who earn less than Estate Liquidations & Appraisals Serving all of New England

Changing the rules now would not only take money out of the pockets of those home buyers who rightfully counted on the deduction being there when they needed it, but also penalize millions of baby boomers nearing retirement and seniors who own their homes outright. $200,000 annually and nearly all those who own a home of their own will claim the deduction at some point during their tenure as home owners.

Research by National Association of Home Builders has shown that as a share of household income, the deduction is most important for younger home buyers, who typically have less equity, tighter household budgets and are paying mostly deductible interest and relatively little principal.

“The American people understand that curtailing or getting rid of the deduction to help lower the federal debt would result in a big tax hike on millions of middle-class home owners and that prospective

buyers who are counting on its benefi ts to lower their monthly mortgage payments would remain on the sidelines,” said Rutenberg.

The collateral damage to the economy would be even more devastating, resulting in lower home values, which would leave more home owners underwater, trigger more foreclosures and prolong the housing slump for years to come.

Changing the rules now would not only take money out of the pockets of those home buyers who rightfully counted on the deduction being there when they needed it, but also penalize millions of baby boomers nearing retirement and seniors who own their homes outright.

Those looking to use the proceeds from their home to move into a retirement community, help defray health care costs or to fund other long-term obligations may fi nd that declining home values will shrink their retirement nest egg and force them to keep working and stay put because they can’t afford or are unable to sell their current home.

Yet, there are critics who still suggest that the mortgage interest deduction should be weakened or even abolished in order to raise tax revenues for the federal government, a minority view that flies in the face of public opinion.

A New York Times/CBS News poll conducted last summer reveals that nine out of 10 Americans oppose eliminating the mortgage interest deduction and a nationwide survey of likely voters commissioned by National Association of Home Builders earlier this year shows that 73 percent oppose abolishing the deduction. Further, the association poll found that three out of four voters believe it is appropriate and reasonable for the federal government to provide tax incentives to promote homeownership and 68 percent would be less likely to vote for a congressional candidate who proposed to eliminate the deduction, a sentiment that cut across party lines.

“Raising taxes on the nation’s home owners is clearly not the right answer to resolve our nation’s fi scal woes,” said Rutenberg. “Such an ill-advised action would devalue housing, lead to massive job losses and derail the fledgling economic recovery.”

Locking in peace of mind

BY VICKIE ELMER NEW YORK TIMES

With mortgage rates inching higher, some borrowers might want to consider a lock-in agreement, which freezes the terms of a loan while it is being processed, potentially saving borrowers thousands of dollars over the life of the mortgage.

This guarantee may be especially important for those who are refi nancing, where even a quarter of a percentage point could skew a borrower’s calculations and make a refinancing less financially desirable, said Keith T. Gumbinger, a vice president of HSH.com a financial publisher in Pompton Plains, N.J. Rates for the 30-year fi xed-rate mortgage averaged 3.95 percent nationwide in March, up from 3.89 percent in February, according to Freddie Mac, though that is still signifi cantly lower than the 4.84 average rate in March 2011. The average rate was 3.98 percent on Thursday, versus 3.99 percent the week before.

“We expect fixed-rate mortgages to gradually move higher over the next six months to about 4.25 to 4.5 percent as the country’s economic condition improves,” said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac’s vice president and chief economist. “This would be a move from the alltime record low rates we’ve experienced over the last few months but still at historically low levels.”

Rate lock-ins can provide buyers with some peace of mind, not to mention one less thing to think about in an otherwise onerous application process.

Lenders typically will give loan rate guarantee agreements when a borrower has a purchase agreement, but a few will provide them to those who are preapproved for a mortgage, said Rick Allen, the chief operating officer of Mortgage Marvel, an online site.

While shopping for a mortgage lender, Allen suggests inquiring about loan locks, too. “Get a copy of the rate lock agreement,” he said, noting that this would help borrowers better understand how the process works.

The cost of reserving an interest rate depends both

on the duration of the lock and the amount of the loan.

“The longer the lock, the more costly it is,” said Mark Lazar, an owner of Allied Financial Mortgage in River Edge, N.J. Most locks are for 30, 45 or 60 days, but some lenders will go as long as six months.

Most lenders offer some version of a free lock, Gumbinger said, though it may be only for 30 days. Others charge points — or fractions thereof — based on the loan size, which could amount to several hundred dollars. (A point is equal to 1 percent of the loan amount.)

Sometimes these charges are refundable at closing, Mr. Gumbinger said.

Borrowers may want to skip a rate lock-in, or delay taking one, if they are unsure when their home purchase will close. “You need to have a pretty good idea of your closing date,” Lazar said.

Knowing how long to lock in a rate requires a clear picture of the mortgage process, and a good estimate from your lender on how long it will take to approve the loan and complete all the paperwork and other requirements. For some lenders handling refinancing, this can be 15 or 20 days; others take longer.

Gumbinger said some lenders may extend an interest rate guarantee for a day or two, but if you need an additional 10 to 15 business days to close, it might cost you a few hundred dollars or a one-quarter point fee. On a $300,000 loan balance that would work out to $750.

Lazar noted that some lenders will extend a rate lock-in agreement for free, especially if interest rates are unchanged.

What happens if your loan doesn’t get approved by the underwriters? Borrowers will need to inquire about whether the lock fee is refundable, and under what circumstances they could receive their money back. “Most lenders will refund it if the loan is denied,” Allen said. If the deal falls apart for circumstances beyond your control, such as a failed home inspection, many lenders will refund the fee, he added. If you decide to back out, expect the lender to keep your cash locked up.

Realtors help raise fair-housing awareness WASHINGTON — As the leading advocate for homeownership and housing issues, the National Association of Realtors will join the nation in promoting Fair Housing Month this month.

This year marks the 44th anniversary of the 1968 landmark Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status or handicap. The National Association of Realtors also supports equal opportunity on the basis of sexual orientation, incorporating that support into the Realtor Code of Ethics.

“Realtors embrace our country’s racial and ethnic diversity and strive every day to make the benefi ts of homeownership accessible to everyone,” said association president Moe Veissi, broker-owner of Veissi & Associates Inc., in Miami. “Anyone who is able and willing to assume the responsibilities of owning a home should have the opportunity to pursue that dream. Realtors work tirelessly to uphold fair housing laws in their local communities and provide equal professional service to everyone.”

The association’s Equal Opportunity and Cultural Diversity program offers Realtors education, grants, programs and events related to fair housing and diversity. Various grants help Realtor associations play leadership roles in their communities through three initiatives; diversity, smart growth and housing opportunity grants. These grants help associations and their members reach out to and better

FOR SALE BY OWNER

serve today’s diverse clientele.

National Association of Realtors also offers several training courses for Realtors and Realtor associations. The At Home with Diversity course addresses the topics of diversity, fair housing and business planning development in a full-day certification course. The association’s Employer-Assisted Housing Class gives Realtors tools to work with local employers, helping them implement employerassisted housing benefits to help employees become home owners. Leading with Diversity is a workshop for local Realtor associations that helps bring more diversity to the leadership of the Realtor community.

Other courses touch on affordable housing opportunities, as well as the benefi ts of smart growth communities and how to help communities adopt a smart growth strategy.

“NAR strongly encourages its members to work with their local municipalities or counties as they conduct fair housing planning activities,” said Veissi.

“Realtors live and work in their communities and are committed to implementing strategies to stop discriminatory behavior and promoting important issues such as inclusion, diversity and fairness in the housing market.”

The National Association of Realtors is America’s largest trade association, representing one million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.

Where the jobs are

BY ERIK MARTIN CTW FEATURES

It’s not just the overall average size of the new American homes that are shrinking — down to 2,377 square feet last year from 2,438 square feet the year before, according to the National Association of Home Builders ± but the stuff that goes in it, too.

If there’s not much work in your neck of the woods, maybe it’s time to consider relocating to a market

where the hiring rate is higher and job prospects are more plentiful.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, America’s unemployment rate fell to 8.2 percent in March, down from 8.5 percent at the end of 2011. Further, the economy has added more than 600,000 jobs in the fi rst quarter of 2012, according to the BLS. Assuming you’ve researched a new location and its employment possi-

Green Conference offers builders the tools to succeed in a changing market NASHVILLE — The green share of new single-family residential construction has grown dramatically — increasing from 2 percent in 2005 to 17 percent in 2011, according to McGraw-Hill Construction. Builders and remodelers looking to expand their knowledge of building green, and fi nd out where the market is going, are invited to attend the 2012 National Green Building Conference and Expo in Nashville April 29-May 1.

Held this year at the Nashville Convention Center, the annual conference will feature an exhibit hall with the latest cutting-edge green products, a wide variety of education courses, unmatched networking opportunities and notable speakers and special events.

“More and more homes are becoming green and energy-efficient, whether by consumer demand or code requirement,” said Eric Borsting, Chairman of the National Green Building Conference and Expo. “This is the way the industry is moving, and this conference is the best place for any building professional to get ahead of the game and learn about best green practices and techniques. With its unmatched networking opportunities, education courses, impressive tour of homes and exhibit hall, this event is not one to be missed.”

Beautiful 5.5 Acre Lot In Bartlett.

The educational courses offer participants a deeper knowledge of the building science of green and provide the analysis of the green building market— the economic impact, the policies and the latest building techniques and trends.

The Energy & Environmental Building Alliance will offer a new special education track, EBBA: Houses That Work.

These sessions will serve as in-depth workshops on topics including airsealing homes, proper HVAC System Replacement techniques to maximize energy effi ciency, and Remodeling for Energy Efficiency.

Another special event this year is the SmartMarket Report presentation from McGraw-Hill Construction, Waste Management Inc. and National Association of Home Builders, where the three groups will reveal the fi ndings of the latest survey on green building trends.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to take part in a green tour of homes. The tour will showcase several local green built homes, and participants will be able to talk to the builders to learn about the rationale behind the design, green building certifications they used and the value the homes bring to their owners.

bilities carefully, don’t be too quick to pull the trigger on a move. Before making the major decision to uproot, it’s important to ponder other factors – including the real estate ramifi cations of needing to sell and buy or rent a home quickly.

While relocating to a more thriving market can offer the promise of increased income, greater job stability and possible career advancement, Claire Sheres, real estate agent with Coldwell Banker in Boca Raton, Fla., says you need to carefully evaluate housing costs, styles and availability, in addition to the cost of living (including taxes and transportation expenses) in your intended location.

If you have a home to unload, be prepared to take a loss that you should be able to make up for if you plan to purchase another residence, said Grant Cardone, CEO of Cardone Real Estate Holdings, a development company based in Los Angeles.

Additionally, it’s crucial to price your home right based on current true market value for a faster sale, Sheres said.

“Any agent can list your house, but when it’s a buyer’s market you need a fi rst-class real estate professional on your side. Use an experienced, top agent in your area,” she says.

Delaying your relocation in the hopes that you’ll get a better price on your home the housing market improves can be a risky gamble.

“The housing market is unpredictable, so it could be a long wait,” says Gautam Godhwani, CEO of SimplyHired.com, a job-search engine. “If a jobseeker can afford to do so, it’s far better to make an investment

in future success and just move to a new location. Trying to wait out the real estate market is tough, and doing so could unnecessarily set back your career.”

When it comes to choosing to rent or buy a home, explore the pros and cons of each option. Renting allows you to get familiar with an area first before committing to a major purchase. Also, it’s much easier to coordinate the timing between leaving and closing on your existing home and relocating to your leased home.

“I would always rent for the fi rst 18 to 24 months so you can go there and put your full attention on the new job opportunity and not be distracted by the house,” Cardone says.

However, buying a home and foregoing renting can be less disruptive in the long-term. Plus, interest rates remain near historic lows, you can earn equity in your property when you purchase, and short-term leases aren’t easy to find.

Lastly, think long and hard about future employment potential prior to deciding on a move.

“Be realistic with your skill set and set your sight on a job market or community that is aligned where you have the best opportunity for employment,” says Roger Atchinson, a vice president with RELO Direct, a Chicago-based corporate relocation management company. “Research communities for companies and opportunities and be prepared to take risks. Landing a position can be easier from the new location versus being hundreds of miles away and needing to relocate, which can be a large expense for prospective employers. © CTW Features

Another 2.5 miles being added to Fryeburg rec. trail

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

FRYEBURG — Another 2.5 miles will be added to the Fryeburg recreation trail that was started last year.

Crews from A.J. Coleman and Son Inc., of Conway, last summer built a 1.5-mile section from the Maine Visitors’ Center to Porter Road. Construction of 2.5 miles from Porter Road to Airport Road is on track to start this spring.

The path is a multiuse trail for cycling, rollerblading and walking in warm-weather months, and for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in winter.

Construction on the new section will begin in mid May, said according to Joel Kittredge of Maine Department of Transportation. The bid for construction work was awarded to RJ Grondin & Sons Inc., of Gorham, Maine, on April 10. Construction bids came in low, according to Kittredge.

“Fourteen firms submitted bids on the estimated $1.1 million earth contract, with R. J. Grondin & Sons the apparent low bidder at $899,923.50,” said Kitteredge. “Maine DOT is pleased with the low bid amount.”

The goal is to eventually connect the trail from Fryeburg to Portland, if funding is obtained, notes Fryeburg’s Dave Kinsman, president of the Mountain Division Alliance.

Kinsman says many people, including New Hampshire residents, have used the path that’s been built so far. A usage study will be done in May or June, he said.

“It’s getting a tremendous amount of usage, we know that,” he said. see TRAIL page 17
