(NY Times) — The United States Postal Service has issued a new stamp featuring the Statue of Liberty. Only the statue it features is not the one in the harbor, but the replica at the New York-New York casino in Las Vegas.

You might think that the post offi ce would have just gone with the original, the one off the tip of Lower Manhattan that for 125 years has welcomed millions of New York’s huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Instead, they accidentally used the 14-yearold statue that presides over thousands of weary gamblers a week. The post office, which had thought the Lady Liberty “forever” stamp featured the real thing, found out otherwise when a clever stamp collector who is also what one might call a superfan of the Statue of Liberty got suspicious and contacted Linn’s Stamp News, the essential read among philatelists.

“We still love the stamp design and would have selected this photograph anyway,” said Roy Betts, a spokesman. Mr. Betts did say, however, that the post offi ce regrets the error and is “re-examining our processes to prevent this situation from happening in the future.”

Dueling protests in Yemen remain peaceful SANA, Yemen (NY Times) — More than 100,000 demonstrators returned to the streets of the Yemeni capital, Sana, on Friday, some chanting for President Ali Abdullah Saleh and, about two miles away, many against.

In what has become a weekly ritual, Mr. Saleh delivered a speech in front of tens of thousands of supporters following midday prayers. Many carried banners with proSaleh slogans or slurs against the political opposition and Al Jazeera, the satellite

news channel. Others climbed to the top of flagpoles and waved Saleh posters.

There were clashes reported in the central city of Taiz between plainclothes government supporters and protesters. More than a dozen protesters were injured by thrown rocks and daggers, according to a local doctor.

“I swear, we knew that they were going to attack us today,” said Mahmud al-Shaobi, 33, an antigovernment activist at the Taiz demonstration, who said that men dressed in civilian clothes attacked the protesters with

rocks and the traditional Yemeni dagger called the jambiya. “But we, the sons of Taiz, came to protest anyway. And we will keep doing it until Ali Abdullah Saleh leaves.”

By contrast, the opposing protests in the capital took on a more relaxed — at times, even jovial — feel, a month after government-linked snipers opened fi re on antigovernment protesters here, killing 52.

The military was notably less present on the streets on Friday than it had been in previous weeks.

House passes GOP budget Russia warns NATO over WASHINGTON (NY Times) — House Republicans forced through a partisan budget blueprint on Friday that, if enacted into law, would pare federal spending by an estimated $5.8 trillion over the next decade while reshaping Medicare, a proposal certain to instigate a fierce clash with Democrats.

The bill has no chance of passage in the Democratic-controlled Senate. But it will effectively serve as the House Republican bargaining position in talks with the administration and Senate over how to reduce annual fed-

eral defi cits and the accumulated national debt.

The action came a day after Congress fi nally concluded its fight over spending for the current fi scal year. The vote in the House on the Republican blueprint, drafted by Representative Paul D. Ryan, Republican of Wisconsin and chairman of the Budget Committee, was 235 to 193, almost entirely on party lines. Not a single Democrat voted for it; four Republicans voted against it.

“The spending spree is over,” Mr. Ryan said. “We cannot keep spending money we don’t have.”

the size of Libya attacks

BERLIN — As NATO leaders sought additional aircraft Friday to oppose the forces of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi in Libya, Russia warned the alliance not to use too much military force there.

The Russian foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov, said it was crucial not to use “excessive military force which will lead to further additional casualties among civilians.”

“We believe it is important to urgently transfer things into the political course and proceed with a political and diplomatic settlement,” he said at a news conference at the end of a two-day meeting here of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s foreign ministers.

Russia has strongly opposed the NATO mission in Libya from the start, getting support from Brazil, China and India.

House to AG: We won’t blink on health care suit

BY GARRY RAYNO THE UNION LEADER

CONCORD — House Speaker William O’Brien said Thursday he wants lawmakers to require the attorney general to join a Florida suit challenging the constitutionality of federal health care reform -- and he wants the federal money for New Hampshire to implement the reform sent back to Washington to reduce the deficit.

“The House stares power in the face and doesn’t blink and says to the attorney general, ‘It is your job to protect the citizens of New Hampshire,’” O’Brien said in introducing an amendment to Senate Bill 148 (click for text and status) at a public hearing before the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee.

The Senate bill strongly urges the attorney general to join 26 other states in the Florida suit against federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care

Act, but does not require him to do so, according to the bill’s prime sponsor, Sen. Tom De Blois, R-Manchester.

De Blois said the Senate changed his bill after Attorney General Michael Delaney said he would sue lawmakers if they ordered him to join the lawsuit as House Bill 89 requires.

The House already approved HB 89, but the Senate has not acted on it.

O’Brien’s amendment returns the word “shall” to the Senate Bill and requires the state to return $666,000 in federal money designated to help the state set up a health insurance exchange.

On Wednesday, the Executive Council killed a contract with a Massachusetts consulting firm that would have advised the state on setting up a health care exchange.

But earlier this month, the council voted to accept the federal money, although the state may not be able to use it because of deadlines in the law. If the state does not use the federal funds, they would have to be returned to the federal government.

Judy Ann (Morono) Donovan, 63, of Freedom and formerly of Concord, and Manassas, Va., and other locations, died here at her winter home, April 11, 2011 from a rare abdominal cancer which she had battled for six years. She died while praying a rosary with family and friends at her bedside.

She was a landscape artist as well as a marketing director for various religious fi gures and clergymen.

She also arranged several spiritual events, such as retreats, testimonials and conferences in Northern Virginia, District of Columbia, Maryland, and elsewhere.

She was born in Glens Falls, N.Y., to the late Patsey and Helen Morono. The family moved to Concord shortly after her birth. She attended St. Peter’s School and was graduated in 1965 from Concord High School where she was a cheerleader. She was graduated the next year from Margaret’s School of Beauty and served as a hair stylist in Meredith and Manchester, before joining Cora’s Beauty Salon on Center Street in Concord.

She was married to Mr. Donovan in 1971 and resided with him in several locations across the country during his military and civilian career with the Department of the Army. The couple spent 25 years in Manassas before retiring to Freedom in 2007. She was a parishioner of St. Joseph Church in Ossipee as well as of Holy Trinity Church here.

She also was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the George Brent Council, Knights of Columbus in Manassas; a former member of the All Saints (Manassas) Church Women’s Altar Society; a former member of Gospa in Washington, D.C., Our Lady’s Prayer Group at All Saints Church, and St. Joseph’s Prayer Group in Herndon, Va. She served in several religious ministries in Northern Virginia, including the Prince William County Jail ministry

as well as the healing ministry of the late Rev. John Lubey, of Silver Spring, Md. She also managed a nationwide sales program for an Irish tenor, Mark Forrest and assisted him with appearances along the East Coast.

She became an artist about 20 years ago and studied under the late Northern Virginia artist, Gwen Axtman. Her specialty was landscapes, ranging from the Northeast’s mountains, lakes, and autumn foliage to the open-sky Florida sunsets. She came under the infl uence of the “Highwaymen,” a group of African-American artist in Florida, who gained fame for their unusually bright treatments of sunsets, lagoons, and palm trees. She sold more than 100 landscapes from Maine to Florida.

She leaves her husband of nearly 40 years, John F. Donovan; two sons, Patrick and his wife, Stephanne, of Manassas, and Timothy and his wife, Jennifer, of Collingswood, N.J.; a brother, Richard and his wife, Diane, of Cool, California; two grandchildren; a niece; as well as many cousins..

Masses of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 15, at All Saints Church, Manassas and at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 20, at St. John the Evangelist Church in Concord. Viewings will be from 6 to 9 p.m. on April 14 at the Pierce Funeral Home, 9609 Center Street, Manassas, and from 6 to 9 p.m. on April 19 at Waters Funeral Home at 50 South Main Street in Concord.

The family welcomes spiritual or fl oral remembrances. Suggested recipients of the former could be the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration, 3900 Thirteenth Street NE, Washington, D.C., 20017; the Carmelite Monastery, 275 Pleasant Street, Concord, NH, 03301-2590 or the Precious Blood Monastery, 700 Bridge Street, Manchester, NH, 03104.

Conway voters on Tuesday went to the polls Tuesday to elect offi cers and decide on dozens of warrant articles that were discussed last month at the deliberative portions of town and school meetings. Approximately 1,900 of Conway’s 7,800 registered voters took part. Incumbent Bob Drinkhall lost his seat on the Conway Board of Selectmen. Voters rejected a request for funds for two more police offi cers. The proposed $33.3 million school budget was turned down in favor of a higher default budget.

And a new teachers’ contract was approved.

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

From Audacious to Cautious Say what you wish about Barack Obama, you have to acknowledge that the man displayed an exquisite sense of timing four years ago. He was a (very) junior senator then, with a half term of service in the Capitol.

The leading voices in the Democratic Party — Hillary Clinton, Gen. Wesley Clark, Joseph R. Biden Jr. and John Edwards — were organizing their presidential campaigns. They were all veterans of the political wars, each with plausible routes to the Democratic nomination, some with established political organizations, all with appealing life stories.

But then, in February 2007, Obama announced he was going to run for president.

You could almost hear the howls of disbelief: too young, too inexperienced, too liberal, too closely identified with minority politics. But the more Obama was told it wasn't his time, the more he believed it might be. And he was right.

Timing is important in presidential politics, but sometimes so is audacity. Obama knew that intuitively, and it is not a coincidence that he married audacity with his greatest campaign gift and titled his second book "The Audacity of Hope." It was audacious — actually it stretched the conventional meaning of audacity — for someone less than three years out of the Illinois state Senate to think he could or should be the president of the United States.

So — and you knew this was coming — the story of the past two years is that Barack Obama lost his sense of timing and his instinct for audacity.

The man who knew just when to say exactly the right thing — to make the precisely correct gesture — is repeatedly days, weeks, sometimes even months behind, so much so that it almost seems he is out of sync with the new rhythms of American politics.

Obama may hate the velocity of events — a common complaint for older politicians, but not for people his age — yet for all his powers as president he cannot slow them. Even Princeton basketball has abandoned the slowdown offense that Pete Carril pioneered and used to take the Tigers to the NCAA tournament 11 times and to upend UCLA in 1996.

Today they play the same game everyone else does.

Moreover, the man who knew when to do the audacious thing has traded that in for a new trademark: caution. I know the perils of this sort of metric, but the words "cautious" and "Obama" appear together more than 13 million times on the Internet. That's more than five times as often as the pairing "audacious" and "Obama."

There is great virtue in caution and in its first cousin, prudence, a favorite word of former President George H.W. Bush. Presidents should be cautious when sending Americans into danger or tinkering with the economy.

Yet there are increasing signs that the president is paralyzed by caution. Often it is prudent — that word again — to hold back, to let things develop. It is especially useful to hold back when your rivals are selfdestructing, which was a smart strategy for Obama in the earliest days of his presidency.

But modern Republicans have made perhaps the soundest and sturdiest recovery in history. They weren't in as big a hole in 2009 as they were in 1965, after the Goldwater debacle, to be sure, but they've climbed out with remarkable speed and skill, which is why the Obama conundrum is so perplexing and his apparent dispassion so puzzling.

Parking Lot Sweeping Free Quotes or Per Hour David Shribman

The president's budget speech last week was clearly an effort to regain the offensive, but the pertinent and persistent question is why a president who faces no discernible opponent for re-election and who has a party majority in the Senate is so much on the defensive.

Put another way: How often has a single chamber of Congress completely dominated the substance and rhythms of politics?

By most measures, Speaker John Boehner is not the president's equal in intelligence, eloquence, elegance or nimbleness. Then again, by most measures, Boehner has bested the president every time they have tangled.

Indeed, it is not too much to say that Boehner is the Reggie Jackson of the capital: the straw that is stirring the Washington drink. That's quite an achievement, given that Boehner is struggling to balance his tea party freshmen with his Kiwanis Club frontbenchers.

But all of the important struggles of the current period are being conducted on Boehner's turf and are being shaped by Boehner's Republican caucus, as raucous a caucus as it is. Indeed, the budget debate, which Obama sought in his speech to portray as a fight to preserve "a progressive vision of our society," is mostly about the overhaul House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan wants to conduct rather than on the social contract the president wants to preserve.

In his glory days, Newt Gingrich never approximated the power Boehner has amassed in only three months. Other powerful House speakers, like Joe Cannon and Thomas Brackett Reed (known as "Czar Reed" when the phrase had real meaning, in part because there was a real czar in Russia), held sway over their chambers, but no one thought that Speaker Reed was more powerful than President William McKinley or that Speaker Cannon was more powerful than President Theodore Roosevelt. And already Ryan has become the most influential chairman of the House Budget Committee since it was established in 1974.

Obama couldn't help but weigh in with a major address on the budget issue, given that the country faces a $1.5 trillion deficit this year and a debt of more than $14 trillion — so troubling a situation that the International Monetary Fund said last week that the United States lacks a "credible strategy" to attack the debt problem.

But his public entry into the debate was late, just as his high-profile entries into the Egyptian and Libyan matters were late. So used to Obama's absence were members of a bipartisan Senate committee laboring on a debt-reduction plan that the leaders of the group suggested the president could be getting in the way of progress.

The president's frequent allusions to Ronald Reagan make his allies uncomfortable. But President Reagan often said that he didn't care who got credit as long as the work was done.

Perhaps that is Obama's strategy. If so, he is succeeding well enough at a time of divided government to reinforce the notion that the Republicans are the party in power in Washington.

It is my opinion we cannot stop bullying To the editor: Over the past month or two, I have been pondering the problem of bullying, with the intent of sending a letter to your paper outlining my concerns and opinions regarding the issue.

My problem was to fi nd an appropriate example to illustrate my view of the recent problems within our schools and the declaration by our president that bullying must be stopped. It is my opinion that we cannot stop bullying. The strong, be it in the person of a classmate, a school board member, and yes, our president, all “bully.”

Our Congress is out of control with bullying. Strong convictions should not be used to try to bully others into agreement. Understanding, if not agreeing, to others opinions is absolutely necessary to allow the equality that our Founding Fathers demanded from Great Britain. Thus are the foundations of war.

As I have mentioned before, I have known Mr. William Marvel, both as a classmate and as an author.

It was in his authorship of the article in The Conway Daily Sun of April 12, that I found my example regarding bullying. The title, “The Department of Doublespeak,” stands alone as an invective to those with whom he disagrees. Within the article he refers to “deceptive speechcraft,” the “annual orgy of self-congratulation,” “Rabble-rousing,” “mummery from the shepherds of

local education,” and, the one that I fi nd most offensive, “one nitwit” Such are the verbiage of a bully.

The line between defending one’s opinions and bullying another is infi nitely narrow. To balance on that razor’s edge is, in my opinion, impossible, however, everyone should strive to that end.

Thus, bullying is impossible to regulate or legislate. I would suggest the only thing we, as a society can do, is to educate our children to empathize with others.

There are some ideas within Mr. Marvel’s article with which I agree. Others may have different opinions than mine. I will continue to read his articles as they make me consider my place in society and how I can help, knowing of course, that I, also, may be accused, perhaps rightly so, of bullying. One last remark regarding the article: Mr. Marvel referred to the “...Kennett Klux Klan.” Knowing Mr. Marvel’s interest and literary efforts in Civil War History, I fi nd it remarkable that he used the term. I suspect that one of his heroes from that confl ict is Nathan Bedford Forrest, a man with little formal education, who, as Grand Wizard and one of the founders of the Klan, resigned in protest at some of its tactics. Would that Mr. Marvel, with his greater education, would consider the same.

Athletes competing in Tuckerman Inferno on 72nd anniversary of Toni Matt’s schuss

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

PINKHAM NOTCH — Race day is here.

On the 72nd anniversary — to the day — of then 19-year-old Austrian Toni Matt's legendary schuss of the Tuckerman Ravine headwall in the 1939 Inferno, elite athletes will compete today in the 2011 Tuckerman Inferno Pentathlon.

Also on tap for today is the Wildcat Wildfi re Pentathlon, following a similar but slightly easier course and starting an hour later than the Inferno.

Both races are presented by Friends of Tuckerman Ravine.

Race official Jake Risch, son of executive director Al Risch, said Thursday that this year's Inferno will feature 21 solo “TuckerMen” competitors, but that the field is wide open, as two-time defending champion Pete Ostroski of Intervale and fi ve-time solo

champion Dave Lamb of Jackson are both injured and will not be competing.

“I unfortunately tore my ACL in February at a ski race. I raced on it for a month after I tore it so I could race our Nationals.

I had surgery about three weeks ago and am now trying to recover so I can bike race

by June,” said Ostroski, a senior All American skier at Plymouth State University.

“I am bummed about missing the Inferno but injuries happen when you are trying to compete in events all year round,” Three TuckerWomen will be competing, along with 30 teams of fi ve (one of whom must be of the opposite sex). Five all-women teams are competing, and six dynamic duos.

The defending champion Keep It Classy Tilton local team did not register for this year's race, according to Risch. Team Lake Placid, a past team champion, is returning, however. see next page

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 16, 2011— Page 13

from preceding page

Several local teams are competing, including the Memorial Hospital, Team Cargill, Cooper and Chant, the Valley Girls, and Team Wildthings. Jackson's Steve Piotrow and past top 3 racer Ken Lubin will be in the TuckerMan hunt.

THE COURSE The Inferno gets under way with a run that leaves Story Land in Glen at 7 a.m., goes north on Route 16, then up over Glen Ledge and then west on Route 302 to Attitash's Thorne Pond, a distance of 8.3 miles.

Competitors then get into canoes or kayaks and make the 6-mile river journey down the Saco to Humphrey's Ledge on the West Side Road.

They then bicycle 18 miles north up and over Glen Ledge, back onto Route 16 for the trip north to the Direttissima off-highway parking lot just south of the Appalachian Mountain Club's Pinkham Notch Visitor Center.

Runners will cross the Cutler River on the pedestrian bridge partially paid for by Friends of Tuckerman Ravine, and then head up the Blanchard Loop Ski Trail behind the AMC parking lot to the Tuckerman Trail to head up to Tuckerman Ravine, a distance of 3 miles. They will then hike to the top of Hillman’s Highway and ski down Hillman’s Highway and Sherburne Trail to Route 16.

The fi rst skier is expected to reach the fi nish in the ravine by 10 a.m. The last skier is expected to finish by 2 p.m.

The run for the Wildcat Wildfi re will depart the Story Land parking lot at 8 a.m. The run-kayakcycle-hkie-ski race ends at Wildcat Ski Area.

An awards party is set for Wildcat Base Lodge for both races at 5 p.m.

ICY CONDITIONS Jake Risch said this week that conditions in the ravine Saturday are expected to be slick, given the rain earlier this week and the cold temperatures which followed.

The actual course setting will be established by race offi cials depending on the day's conditions at 7 a.m.

The U.S. Forest Service's snow condition report, posted on www.mountwashingtonavalanchecenter. org, on Friday said temperatures might warm up enough to provide some softening of the ice surfaces, but not much. The forest service warned visitors to the ravine to be prepared by bringing along crampons and an ice axe, “and to be skilled in their use.”

The avalanche danger was listed as “low” Friday, but is an ever-present hazard, as are ice falls in the ravine.

Snow ranger Jeff Lane on Thursday issued the following report: “The weather for the next few days does not look good for those interested in spring skiing. Unfortunately this is coming directly on the heels of a few days of warmth and rain. The end result will be a snowpack that resembles an ice skating rink, only tilted up at an angle. ”

RACE DIVISIONS Registration for both the Inferno and the Wildfi re is closed.

The Tuckerman Inferno pentathlon is open both to teams of fi ve (one of whom must be of the opposite sex) and to solo TuckerMen and TuckerWomen competitors.

The Inferno class also has an all-women category open to teams of five as well as a Dynamic Duo twoperson category.

The Wildfire is open to teams of five (one of whom must be of the opposite sex), as well as an all-women class, a five-person ski club category and a two-person category.

Registered this year for the Wildfire are two teams of five, one all-women team, six Wildmen solo competitors, and four Wildfire duos. see next page

‘Over the Headwall’ with ski museum’s Jeffrey R. Leich; new edition of book on Tuckerman Ravine in development PINKHAM NOTCH — Over the Headwall.’

Skiing down Tuckerman Ravine's notoriously steep headwall has been a local rite of spring since Dartmouth skiers and U.S. Olympians John Carleton and Charley Proctor first did it on April 11, 1931 — 80 years ago this month.

It's also the name a book published by the New England Ski

Museum in 1999.

Written by the museum's executive director, Jeffrey R.

Members of the New Hampshire National Guard will assist in traffi c control at road crossing locations, according to Risch. Volunteers are helping with all parts of the race, including members of the Mount Washington Valley Paddlers Club on the Saco and the Mountain Rescue Service in the ravine.

The events are presented by Friends of Tuckerman Ravine, a locally-based, membersupported, non-profit organization that seeks to preserve and protect the unique alpine and sub-alpine eastern slopes of Mount Washington and to work in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service to sustain the traditional uses of the distinctive natural area.

The group also presents trail maintenance work days every fall.

sidered by many to be “The Race for All Time.”

Matt — in only his second time in the ravine, and then only 19 and new to this country from Austria — made the descent in 6 minutes, 29.4 seconds, a full minute faster than second-place finisher Dick Durrance, winner of the 1934 Inferno.

Racing in the third Inferno of the decade on Mount Washington (the fi rst was won by Hollis Phillips in 1933), Matt halved Durrance's previous record of 12 minutes.

Leich — who will once again be handling bottom-of-the-ski run timing duties at the bottom of Left Gully in the ravine for the Inferno Saturday —told that story, and many others, in the first edition of “Over the Headwall.”

He has added many more for the second edition, which will have a larger format. The new version will be expanded from the first edition's 32 pages to a new total of 120 pages and slightly larger format. The first had 56 illustrations, while the new edition will have 170, including 130 new shots from the past 80 years.

Among the most-prized photos in both editions?

A shot showing the snowy conditions in the ravine the day of Matt's headwall schuss in 1939, along with a photo by Clarence Gray of Matt himself, having just rounded the summit cone and flashing past the temporary ski patrol windbreak on the gentle slope above the headwall.

ingly, among winter back-country skiers? And why does it make good fodder for a book?

JL: It's a combination of things.

Mount Washington itself is unique because of its weather, the snowfall it gets, and the topography. In the East, it's an island of alpine terrain 60 miles from the Atlantic Ocean — you don't see that much of that in the East.

Then you add the need to hike up to the ravine: everyone there is a back-country rider or skier. I say that because they are there — they got

there on their own, hiking up. It has echoes of skiing before ski lifts, when everyone had to climb before their tuns.

If you're there on a weekend, there's the spring festival aspect to it, too. If you're there in great weather, it has a stunning landscape and snowscape.

And to ski something that steep is exhilarating. It all adds up.

view was ambition,” he said. American reporters are at greater risk than Europeans when it comes to interviewing Taliban, he said, but he wanted to do it. He made the ethically dubious decision not to tell his new wife about the plan when he spoke to her on the phone. “I thought the interview would be safe and I didn’t want her to worry. I was wrong.”

Two Afghans, a driver and a local reporter and translator named Tahir Ludin, drove Rhode into the Afghan countryside to the designated meeting point. When they arrived, no one was there. Ludin called the commander to ask where he was. The commander told them to keep driving, that he was around the next hill.

But around the next hill was an ambush. As Rhode’s car rounded the corner armed men pulled up and forced all three men in the back seat.

The men told Rhode they were going to chop off his head and film it.

“My goal was to keep us alive,” he said, but even in doing that he made a mistake. He told his captors he would be worth more alive than dead, and that they could get millions of dollars for him.

They traveled for days, in cars and on foot. Rohde was usually blindfolded, and he had no idea where he was going.

They spent a week in Afghanistan, and then they crossed the border to Pakistan, where they were held for seven months.

“I was never beaten,” he said. “I was given bottled water, and even English language Pakistani newspapers.”

The New York Times kept his captivity secret, but Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Special Envoy Richard Holbrooke, General David Petraeus and others worked with his wife and family to negotiate his release.

His initial attempts to keep himself alive, however, put the price impossibly high. The Taliban’s first request was for $25 million and 15 prisoners, a price he knew no one would agree to.

He spent seven months living among fighters.

“I lived with a suicide bomber one time for six weeks,” he said. It gave him insight into David Rohde speaking at Fryeburg Acadhow extremists emy, his high school alma mater. view Americans.

“He saw us as focused on money, fame and earthly pleasures.”

The other fi ghters idolized the suicide bombers the way we look up to sports stars or celebrities, he said. The kids were brainwashed. “I hated the older commanders most of all.”

A skeptic of religion, Rohde eventually began praying for his survival, and for his safe return home.

“Fryeburg helped me,” he said. “I thought of my time here. To be completely honest, I was convinced there were people from Fryeburg watching over me.”

By June 2009 the situation was unbearable. He and Ludin decided to try to escape. The Afghan

driver had begun cooperating with the Taliban soldiers, so they left him out of their plan.

“We went to bed and I laid in the darkness hoping our guards would fall to sleep,” Rohde said, “and I prayed. I said, Forgive me God,’ 2,000 times.”

He slipped out to the bathroom after his guards fell asleep. Ludin slipped out the window a short time later. They made their way to the outer wall of the compound, which they got over using a rope they’d found the week before.

They ran to a Pakistani military compound in the center of town.

“I shouted to the guards in English,” Rohde said, but they held he and Ludin at gunpoint, fearful they were suicide bombers.

Ultimately they were let inside. “Six hours later two helicopters landed and we were fl own to Islamabad,” he said. There, “I kissed the tarmac.”

The ordeal reminded him of the humility and the humanity he learned growing up in Fryeburg, he said.

He had a special message for the members of the community he gained so much from, he said, a message he didn’t share with other audiences: “The values I learned in Fryeburg are fading across this country.”

Tolerance, empathy, humility and humanity are disappearing from American discourse, he said, from politics to business and in all aspects of life.

“The truth often does not fi t in neat boxes,” he said. Extremists of all kinds, or of any religion, are dangerous, he said.

He praised the Afghans like Ludin, who are worth fighting for, he said. “They are incredibly honorable and great people.”

But he won’t be going back again anytime soon.

The first thing his mother told him after his release?

“I’m revoking your passport,” he said.

He looked a little worse for wear, and lamented having the wrong equipment, but he moved steadily upward, and would reach the summit about 20 minutes after me.

Valley Green Tips

M T.

Truth about idling Weather extremes cause humans to behave differently in both cold and hot weather. We layer clothing and avoid going outdoors on cold winter days. Conversely, we shed clothes to take a dip in the Saco River when the temperature reaches 90.

Certainly, the search for the ideal temperature or “coziness factor” is human nature, but idling cars to cool or warm the car has big economic, environmental and human health costs.

When idling, your car gets exactly zero miles per gallon, and with today’s gasoline prices, that doesn’t make good economic sense. Worse, idling increases particle pollution, the smoky part of that stream of exhaust that, according to the American Lung Association, can increase the risk of heart disease, lung cancer and asthma. And sadly, idling cars often “congregate” in areas where adults — and children — shop, bank or wait to be picked up at school.

Particle pollution also reduces visibility in the mountains, increases acidity of lakes and streams, reduces levels of nutrients in soils and causes many other environmental problems, according to the EPA. Tips: Please don’t let your car idle.

If you’re going to be idling more than 30 seconds at a drive-through service window or to make a quick dash to grab a newspaper, you should turn off your car. Following this 30-second rule, you will not use more gas to turn off and restart your vehicle and you will save on harmful emissions.

Additionally, it should be noted that modern car engines do not need to be warmed up before driving in cold weather. Rather, idling can actually deter an engine’s peak performance.

More information and resources can be found at www.cleanaircampaign.org/Air-We-Breathe/TheTruth-About-Idling.

I put on ski goggles, which were a blessing. For the rest of my time above the trees, I would occasionally take them off to experience the ultra-blinding spring refl ection of sun.

I reached the great lower viewpoint into Tuckerman Ravine, then climbed over the top of Lion Head. Looking down at the Bowl, I was surprised to not see any skiers down there yet that morning.

The flat walk across the alpine garden to the summit cone was less windy than I thought it would be, and when I started up the big snowfield on the east side of the cone, protected from the west wind, I had to peel off layers.

The summit cone was a weird spring mix of crunchy snow, and

ice fl ows caused by the recent rain. The day was beautiful. To the east the sky was clear, but as I climbed, a complete under cast of puffy cumulous was revealed to the west.

I reached the ice covered auto road and walked up to the summit. The wind across the observation platform on the Sherman Adams building was too strong to linger long. I was reminded of the humorous Mount Washington Observatory video called Breakfast of Champions, where someone is unsuccessfully served breakfast on the same platform in a high wind.

I walked back to the sheltered front doorway of the building, where winter hikers pause, and encountered the Mount Washington State Park manager Mike Pel-

chat. He and the State Park snow cat driver were outside, placing some wooden beams on a slope to divert melt water, which had been leaking into the building.

Mike is very friendly and informative to everyone he meets on the summit. He mentioned that the Observatory snow cat was on its way up the Auto Road with a camera crew from the Weather Channel. They were working on a pilot episode for an upcoming series called “Weather Warriors.”

On call for rescues on the mountain, Mike also expressed concern about the cooling trend going into the weekend. The Friends of Tuckerman Inferno Race, scheduled for Saturday, will end in Tuckerman Ravine with a slalom course. The cooling

temps will freeze the saturated snow, and make a steep course dangerous.

The next day, I called head snow ranger Chris Joosen. He said that the slalom course would take place in Hillman’s Highway and on the John Sherburne Ski Trail, rather than in the steeper Left Gully, where it normally occurs.

Jut as I bid adieu to Pelchat, the hiker with the Yaktrax showed up at the entranceway. His expression was one of complete satisfaction for getting there. Often people manage with the equipment they have, and learn a lesson for next time. But with the cooler temps forecast for the weekend, more appropriate traction devices will be required for hikers heading for the summit.

As I headed back down the summit cone, the under cast to the west had risen up enough to spill over the moun-

tain, creating wonderful effects. Cloud and sun washed over me. I encountered a few ascending snowboarders as I made my way down to the alpine garden. I decided to go down a different way, descending Right Gully into the Tuckerman Ravine bowl.

In the gully, the snow in the direct sun was deep, and any attempted self arrest with my ice axe was ineffective. So I just plunged it in with each descending step, and slowly make my way down. I had close encounters with a dozen skiers and boarders on their way up the gully. This was certainly a social mountain in the spring. And considering that most were happy to be there, very pleasant.

From Lunch Rocks, I headed down the Tuck Trail, past Hermit Lake, and then the long winding trail to Pinkham. It had been a satisfying hike. Maybe it was worth holding off for the winter, and climbing the mountain on a brisk spring day.

Country Ecology: Purple finch Purple fi nches are named for the raspberry-red color of the males. This raspberry color is deepest on the head, nape, face, throat, breast, fl anks, and rump. The hind parts of the neck, back, and scapular feathers are deep rosered and streaked with dark-brown.

Wings and tail are brownish, with the belly and under the tail coverts whitish. There are also other similar finches native to the Pacifi c Northwest, and I viewed them when I lived there in Washington State. Moreover, it is from California that western house fi nches were imported, but I now believe their expansion throughout New England has tapered off.

In the earlier parts of this century, the purple finch was ousted out of suburban communities by the introduction of the English sparrow. Thankfully, that bird

is now mostly an urban species, except when you have a horse barn nearby at a neighbor’s. That invasive pest species is dangerous for native cavity dwellers, so it can stay there in the city areas! The closely related house fi nch is another matter and seems to like our northeastern residential communities, but is not becoming a wilderness bird.

While it successfully out-competes the purple finch, I guess we can relax about it reproducing across the wilder areas of our state.

Being the state bird of New Hampshire, our purple finch is a bird of coniferous and mixed forests, as well as park-like areas. It breeds in the northeastern United States, across southern Canada, and into the Cascades where I saw them, and western Sierra Nevada see next page

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 16, 2011— Page 25

ranges of the West Coast. Males sing from habitual song posts often located at the very tops of conifer trees. Nests are most often found far out on horizontal branches in conifers, especially spruce, and are made of concealing material at these cone-bearing heights, so I have never seen one.

Their food hereabouts consists mostly of seeds, buds, blossoms, and fruit, usually taken from the outer branches of trees and occasionally from the ground.

Purple finches display strong site fi delity to breeding areas, but in winter, fl ocks of purple fi nches may travel widely, depending on local food supplies and a wider variety of habitats are used.

Winterberry, hackberry, and Eastern red cedar fruit crops are craved.

I am impressed that this bird migrates all the way down to the Florida border, and feel maybe the legislature knew what they were doing nominating this bird for our token species! It beats feet out of here during our harsh winters, and is found throughout the Southeast over to Texas during the months of snow cover up here. Early arrivals signify to me that spring may be on the way when they once again visit the feeders.

Purple fi nches will soon feed on a multitude of foods when they get back, not just your sunflower seed. Like other returning fi nches, the buds of quaking aspen will be important early forage, as well as the catkins of the yellow and paper birches. So are the buds of cherries and elms. The birds eat these like we eat sprouts from the supermarket.

Good spring tonic!

The purple fi nch later feeds on fruit trees' fl owers by crushing the base to get the nectar and leaving the upper flower undamaged. It devours the buds and blossoms of apple, cherry, peach,

and plum trees, feeding on their stamens and pistils, and the red maple’s, too. Orchardists used to think the bird was eating too much of their blossoms, but found out over time, that a thinning of those apple blossoms produced a better crop! In a similar action, it often feeds on the seeds of fruits rather than the pulp.

A Mr. Ora W. Knight in 1908 summed up the food of this finch very well as follows: "As to the food of the Purple Finch, the species is primarily a seed eater during the winter and spring, eating all sorts of weed and grass seeds, also to a lesser extent a few buds of apple, maple and birch as well as other tree buds. In late spring they eat some insects, such as beetles, green caterpillars and small larvae of various sorts. In summer they are fruit eaters to quite an extent, partaking of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, cherries, both wild and cultivated and many other fruits. They seem to relish the fruit of the dogwoods, elders and viburnums very much." So, there you go. This bird must delight in the production of our New Hampshire summers.

Look for the brightly colored male displaying in front of the female with his rich, spirited, warbling song into May. This loud song is part of springtime in New Hampshire as it greens up. If you want to, you can summon up this vigorous sound recording on various web sites while you Google up this bird’s description.

DILBERT

by Darby Conley

By Holiday Mathis Instead, dwell on what’s already working well, and you’ll get more of that.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Money is not the answer, but having more of it will change the questions. You’d like to get to a point where you are no longer worried about surviving and are instead thinking only about thriving.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will be inspired to take a risk because you’ll have a funny feeling you’ll make good. Others will be delighted by and a little bit jealous of your uncanny luck.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ).

Sometimes you can be your own worst enemy. Not so much right now. True, there is an opponent within you, but it’s a friendly one, imbued with an affable spirit of competition.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Your desire for a certain dream may be waning, so it’s time to remind yourself what you came to do. Is there a picture that will remind you? It’s too soon to give up on your goal. Fight for it instead.

PISCES (Feb. 19 -March 20). Do what feels comfortable to you. Others will try to get you to do what works for them, and it’s not right for you at all.

Some people are too self-centered to understand that everyone is different.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 16).

You are socially oriented and will gain youthful vitality as you interact with a variety of different people. Partnerships will be easier than ever to establish.

There’s a financial boost in the next five weeks. You’ll be driven to perfect a skill in May. A family rift is healed in June.

Public attention and approval come in July. Cancer and Leo people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 35, 12, 39, 16 and 50.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19). A special relationship takes the spotlight.

You’ll interact with someone you feel a great affinity toward. You’ll do activities similar to what you’ve done before, and yet new emotions come up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You might be in a position to sell merchandise, but what you will really sell is your own winning personality. You like people, and people like you. You’ll converse with strangers and turn them into friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have no desire to accumulate things.

What does interest you is what you’ll have to do to earn a certain symbol of achievement. It’s not about the trophy, but what the trophy represents.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your financial decisions will affect more than just you. An open dialogue about your fi nancial picture will bring you into harmony with your team. And if you can do this without becoming emotional, even better!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In the past, someone told you that you were being too sensitive, and yet this same sensitivity will lead you to good fortune today. Your feelings will go out like tentacles, sensing the right opportunity for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A creative tool will enhance your experience.

Maybe it’s a camera that takes pictures you’ll cherish for years to come or a GPS system that helps you explore a new place without the stress of getting lost.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). While you’re searching to fi nd the cure for negativity, you may inadvertently cause more of the unwanted condition because it’s all you’re thinking about.

On this date: In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed a bill ending slavery in the District of Columbia.

In 1879, St. Bernadette, who’d described seeing visions of the Virgin Mary at Lourdes, died in Nevers (neh-VEHR’), France.

In 1910, Boston Arena (now Matthews Arena) first opened.

In 1917, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin returned to Russia after years of exile.

In 1947, the French ship Grandcamp blew up at the harbor in Texas City, Texas; another ship, the High Flyer, exploded the following day. The blasts and resulting fires killed nearly 600 people.

In 1960, shortly before midnight, rockand-roll performer Eddie Cochran, 21, was fatally injured in a taxi crash in Chippenham, Wiltshire, England (he died the next day).

In 1972, Apollo 16 blasted off on a voyage to the moon.

In 1991, Sir David Lean, director of “The Bridge on the River Kwai,” ‘’Lawrence of Arabia” and “Doctor Zhivago,” died in London at age 83.

In 1996, Britain’s Prince Andrew and his wife, Sarah, the Duchess of York, announced they were in the process of divorcing.

In 2007, in the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history, student SeungHui Cho (sung-wee joh) killed 32 people on the campus of Virginia Tech before taking his own life.

One year ago: The U.S government accused Wall Street’s most powerful firm of fraud, saying Goldman Sachs & Co. had sold mortgage investments without telling buyers the securities were crafted with input from a client who was betting on them to fail. (In July 2010, Goldman agreed to pay $550 million in a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but did not admit legal wrongdoing.)

Today’s Birthdays: Pope Benedict XVI is 84. Actor Peter Mark Richman is 84. Singer Bobby Vinton is 76. Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II is 71. Basketball Hall-of-Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is 64. NFL coach Bill Belichick is 59. Rock singer-turnedpolitician Peter Garrett is 58. Actress Ellen Barkin is 57. Rock musician Jason Scheff (Chicago) is 49. Singer Jimmy Osmond is 48. Rock singer David Pirner (Soul Asylum) is 47. Actor-comedian Martin Lawrence is 46. Actor Jon Cryer is 46. Rock musician Dan Rieser is 45. Actor Peter Billingsley is 40. Actor Lukas Haas is 35.

Help Wanted

by Abigail Van Buren

TIPS ON HOTEL ETIQUETTE TURN COUPLE INTO PAMPERED GUESTS

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I recently returned from a vacation where we had a disagreement regarding hotel service and towels.

Regarding the towels, my wife thinks we should hang them to dry daily for reuse later. I say the cost of washing the towels is included in the price of the room, and I want a fresh towel daily.

The other issue is my wife feels obligated to tip the housekeeping staff. I have never felt that obligation. Not a single housekeeper has been exceptional, regardless of the hotel we stayed in.

We’re hoping you could shed some light on hotel etiquette.

-- WEST VIRGINIA TRAVELER DEAR TRAVELER: Your wife appears to be a conservationist. Although you prefer fresh towels daily, many travelers voluntarily forgo this service to help hotels conserve water and save energy. If you prefer to do otherwise, that’s your privilege -- and it’s not worth arguing over.

As to tipping the housekeeping staff, has it occurred to you that you have never received exceptional service because you never offered a tip? Some hotel guests talk to the housekeeper at the time they arrive to request extra hangers, soap, washcloths, etc. -- and offer a gratuity at that time. And when they do, the staff usually goes out of their way to be accommodating. Try it -- they need the extra money, and they’ll spoil you if you let them.

DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Parker,” and I have a 4-yearold son, “Ethan.” Recently, my mother-in-law suggested we have a will drawn up, stating who will take care of Ethan if something happens to us. She’s an attorney and has offered to do it for us.

Help Wanted

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE/CUSTOMER SERVICE

Parker and I agree that it is a good idea and appreciate her offer to do the paperwork. The problem? We don’t want her raising our son. We have another relative in mind.

My mother-in-law is a nice enough person and would not be cruel or abusive to Ethan, but she was not a good mother to Parker and his siblings. She’s extremely selfi sh and selfabsorbed. We know she’ll be extremely offended if we don’t name her as our child’s guardian.

I would like to hire another attorney, but she will take offense to that as well. She hasn’t stopped hounding us about this issue. Please tell us how to handle this. -- TRAPPED IN THE GOLDEN STATE DEAR TRAPPED: Hire an attorney and have the document drawn up. And when your mother-in-law raises the subject again, you and Parker should thank her and tell her it has already been done, so she doesn’t have to worry about it anymore. The woman may be selfi sh and self-absorbed, but she is absolutely right that you should have your wishes put in writing.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I were taught differently regarding how to serve ourselves a meal. Typically, we each “plate up” a desired amount of food in the kitchen, where it is prepared, rather than bring serving dishes to the table. Then we carry our plates to the table to eat.

Should my husband serve himself fi rst (as I was taught the cook/hostess is served last), or should I go first (as he was taught women precede men)? -- DINERS’ DILEMMA DEAR D.D.: You’re not “the hostess”; you are the wife. If your husband wishes to defer to you, let him spoil you. You’ll both be happier that way.

P.S. I’m sure you can fi nd a way to spoil him back.

We are seeking a motivated individual who enjoys working in a fast paced office environment. This position requires good telephone, people, computer and organizational skills to service our large owner base. Duties to include owner communications via phone/email, accounts receivable and cash receipts and account balancing. Candidate must have 5 years office experience and be proficient in Microsoft Excel/Word.

This is a full time, year round position. Compensation commensurate with experience and full benefit package offered. Send cover letter with resume & reference to:

Human Resources, PO Box 826, N. Conway, NH 03860 or email your resume to: DonnaFinnie@EasternSlopeInn.com

‘Buy the Book’ sale April 16 Every year as winter disappears there is that morning when you wake up warm even after you have kicked of the down comforter: a morning when it just smells different out there.

Well, it does occur to your reporter that the good news is the melting of this winter’s snow and not just during the height of the day but all night long too.

What a pleasure it is to wake up to temperatures above freezing and the sound of robins singing. An actual blooming crocus has been spotted; a few tulip leaves are pocking up and the sound of turkeys preparing to propagate drifts through the trees. Add all this to drying mud and it does seem that spring is thinking about staying around.

Weather-wise the only bad news is that much of the melting snow is working its way through numerous basements prior to entering the water table, but one must ask, "Isn’t it worth it?"

So get out there and rake, pick up dead branches, let’s not talk about the chore associated

with owning a dog all winter, but whatever it is you find yourself doing out in the yard give thanks when you realize that you are doing it in a tee-shirt with your jacket hanging from some branch. As E.E. Cummings wrote, "It’s spring and everything is mud wonderful and puddle perfect."

Speaking of spring the cooperative extension service is offering a couple of workshops that relate directly. "Vegetable Gardening – The Basics Presentation": join Russ Norton on April 18 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Conway Public Library to explore the best place to locate a garden, soil fertility and pH, and learn to deal with weeds.

For more information contact University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension at 4473834.

Norton will also lead "Starting Seeds, Heirlooms and Saving Seed." You can learn all about seeds, how to treat them for saving and planting and when to do each as well as information on heirloom varieties of locally possible vegetables. The program will be held at the

Cynthia (Hanson) Toye, 74, passed away March 22, 2011 after a series of illnesses brought her down.

Cyndi, as most knew her, was born Oct. 10, 1936 in Danvers Mass. and lived in Mount Washington Valley for most of her adult life. Graduating from Danvers High School, she became a fl ight attendant for TWA, fl ying on the first of the jetliners in the 1950s.

After marrying Leo P. Toye (twice), whom she met skiing at Mount Cranmore, she had

fi ve sons, Danny, Kevin, Kelly, Michael, Leo P. II, all avid skiers who grew up in Jackson and North Conway.

An accomplished typist, stenographer and offi ce manager, she had been employed by the city of Peabody, Mass. as offi cial stenographer for city hearings.

Her career in the valley included office manager positions at Black Mountain Resort, Joe Jones Shop and The Mount Washington Valley Motor Lodge.

"Mutha" was a strong-willed

Gibson Gleanings

person and those who knew her would attest to her hard working, ethical, principled nature.

She was also a loving and dedicated mother, really loved living in North Conway and feeding the birds (and bears) at Whitman Woods, where she spent her final years amongst good friends.

Her ashes were spread on Mount Cranmore after a brief ceremony attended by her sons, a few close friends and family members on April 2. May she rest in peace.

Feinstein Dessert Auction April 21 Years ago there were always signs to watch for that told you Easter was approaching. Walk by any store and you’d see amazing displays of spring hats and suits, tulips and lilies, chocolate bunnies and decorated eggs. For me however the surest sign that Easter was coming were a sponge, a clean cloth and a bucket full of hot water and ammonia. My mother believed clean windows were an essential part of the upcoming celebrations.

Days before Easter, I would fi nd myself hanging out a second story window scrubbing away the last gritty signs of winter. My mother has been gone for over a decade now but somehow, I’m pretty sure I know what I’ll be doing this weekend. I wish you all a happy Easter and a blessed Passover.

I just want to remind everyone that we will be holding our Easter luncheons this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and we do require reservations for our holiday meals. The kitchen is preparing a wonderful baked ham dinner. There are still a few spots open and you can call 356-3231 to reserve a seat. We will also be holding another Feinstein Dessert Auction this Thursday, April 21 at noon time. It’s a great chance to buy some wonderful homemade treats

At Wednesday’s selectmen’s meeting, Rob Nadler, chair of Albany’s land governance board, Jeanine Bean, commissioner of Conway Village Fire District, and Gregg Caporossi of the Trust for Public Land met to discuss the Kennett Property deal. Commissioner Beane said that Conway would be receptive to the project but needed assurance that a sighting would be made for any new wells on the property should there be a need in the future. Given that assurance, she would report back to her board at their next meeting. Also, Public Service of New Hampshire and John Roberts of Tamworth were in to meet with the selectmen regarding work to be done by PSNH in the Wildwood community. Work will commence on Monday to upgrade the electric cabling and every household in the area should have received an advisory letter explaining the project as well as any inconvenience that would occur during the changeover. The membership of the Supervisors of the Checklist is now ofďŹ cial. Tina Sdankas is chair and June Johnson and Dan Sdankas make up the rest of the committee.

Albany dates to remember: The selectmen’s ofďŹ ce will be closed on April 19 as Kathy will be attending a workshop.

Let’s look at a few prominent people and media sources that agree that now is the time to buy. * Fortune Magazine and The Wall Street Journal: http://kcmblog.com/2011/04/05/ok-you-winstop-listening-to-real-estate-a... * John Paulson, billionaire investor: http:// kcmblog.com/2010/10/05/if-he-says-it-is-time-tobuy-a-home-buy-a-... * Donald Trump: http://kcmblog. com/2011/03/18/once-in-a-lifetime-opportunityfor-buyers/ Why are investors purchasing real estate right now?

Money is cheap. The 5 percent interest rate will not be available forever.

The ability to lock in that interest rate for 30 years may soon disappear.

Getting a mortgage may get much more expensive soon.

They want to buy low and sell high. The price of real estate is low.

Interest rates are increasing Interest rates have increased almost 3/4 of a point in the last six months. Most experts expect rates to continue to increase through the year.

Interest rates along with price determine the overall cost of a home. Even with prices softening, if interest rates rise, it may be less expensive to buy now rather than wait.

The 30-year mortgage may disappear There has been much debate regarding government’s role in providing support for homeownership. There are several experts who believe if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s roles are eliminated, or even limited, it may be the end to the 30-year mortgage.

The investment community is talking Shawn Tully, senior editor at large for Fortune, penned an article which was titled, “Real estate: It’s time to buy again.” In the article, Mr. Tully explains: “Forget stocks. Don’t bet on gold. After four years of plunging home prices, the most attractive asset class in America is housing.

“Let’s state it simply and forcibly: Housing is back. Two basic factors are laying the foundation for dramatic recovery in residential real estate.

The first is the historic drop in new construction.

The second is a steep decline in prices, on the order of 30 percent nationwide since 2006, and as much as 55 percent in the hardest-hit markets. The story of this downturn has been an astonishing flight from the traditional American approach of buying new houses to an embrace of renting. But the new affordability will gradually lure Americans back to buying homes. And the return of the homeowner will start raising prices in many markets this year.”

Today’s Home of the Week is a renovated farmhouse on 6.8 acres on Fish Street in Fryebrug.

Country homestead, with luster FRYEBURG — Welcome to the “Haley Homestead” — on the market for the first time in 75 years.

This beautiful farm is located on Fish Street in Fryeburg, only six miles from Fryeburg Village center and Fryeburg Academy.

As you enter the front door, a spacious farmers’ porch greets you for lazy summer evenings in the intervale. Then as you enter the home, there is a spacious living room with a lovely separate dining room to your left. A less formal doorway on the porch enters a mudroom for those less-than-nice days.

Walking toward the kitchen, which is on your left, there are sliders directly in front of you providing an entrance to a small deck for gorgeous sunsets. A full bath on the fi rst fl oor completes this level. Upstairs is another full bath with three bedrooms.

Everything has been totally renovated by the heirs to bring this farmhouse back to a new-home luster.

The attached 40-by-60-foot attached post-and-beam barn is in very good shape for any and all uses. A soil-rich fi eld for growing with the adjacent Old Saco River for irrigation is a grower’s delight.

With 6.8 acres, a brand new drilled well and a brand new septic system, this home is “move-in ready,” avoiding all those horrors of restoring an old farmhouse.

The home is priced at $299,900. Listing agent is Bill Reilly, of RE/MAX Country Living in Fryeburg. Contact him at (207) 890-6587 for an immediate showing.

A spacious farmers’ porch is a great place to spend summer evenings.

The home has 1,600 square feet of space.

home market. There is a significant increase of activity in the condominium market. At the end of March of 2010 there were 10 condominiums under agreement in the towns of Bartlett, Conway, Jackson and Madison. This year the end of March had 21 condos under agreement. Hopefully this is a sign that the word is getting out that it’s a great time to purchase real estate.

Bottom line We know many are skeptical about now being the time to buy.

But if the business savvy investors in the country are buying, shouldn’t we at least consider the possibility that now is the time to act? Inventory is plentiful, interest rates are favorable, prices are prime. Why wait?

Report criticizes banks for handling of mortgages

BY DAVID STEITFELD NEW YORK TIMES

Banks did a poor job of handling the fl ood of foreclosures over the last several years, in some cases even moving ahead with evictions when they clearly should not have, according to a long-awaited report released Wednesday by federal regulators.

In response to the problems detailed in the report, 14 mortgage servicers have now signed consent agreements promising changes, including new oversight procedures.

Regulators said the enforcement actions were tough measures that would make the banks accountable. “The banks are going to have to do substantial work, bear substantial expense, to fi x the problem,” the acting comptroller of the currency, John Walsh, told reporters in a conference call.

JPMorgan Chase, one of the servicers signing the agreement, said that it was adding as many as 3,000 employees to meet the new regulatory demands. Jamie Dimon, its chief executive, called it “a lot of intensive manpower and talent to fi x the problems of the past.”

Other servicers who signed agreements included Bank of America, Citigroup and GMAC. Two firms that handle aspects of the foreclosure process, Lender Processing Services and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, also signed consent agreements.

But consumer activists were unimpressed, saying the reforms let the banks police themselves.

“The banks who caused the economic crisis and received government bailouts

are getting a free pass while homeowners still struggle to save their homes,” said Alys Cohen of the National Consumer Law Center, a nonprofit consumer advocacy group.

The other regulatory bodies involved in the examination and the enforcement actions were the Federal Reserve and the Offi ce of Thrift Supervision. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation played a more limited role.

Problems at the servicers were “significant and pervasive” adding up to “a pattern of misconduct and negligence,” the Federal Reserve said. The Fed said it planned to announce monetary penalties for the servicers it regulates at a later date.

Walsh also said the comptroller would impose penalties. “The question is timing and amount,” he said.

One enforcement action requires servicers to hire an outside consultant who will review complaints by borrowers who say that their homes were improperly foreclosed. If the consultant agrees with the claim, the servicer might need to pay restitution.

During their review, the examiners said they saw an unspecifi ed number of cases “in which foreclosures should not have proceeded due to an intervening event or condition.” Those circumstances included families in bankruptcy or borrowers who were either qualified for or in the middle of doing a trial loan modification.

Mortgage servicers will be required to offer families fi ghting foreclosure a single point of contact, but that does not require the same caseworker. Many families have complained that the servicers routinely lost documents and

had trouble keeping track of individual cases.

The report said that mortgage servicing units of the banks did not properly oversee their own or third-party employees at law fi rms, had inadequate and poorly trained staffs and improperly submitted material to the courts.

The report and enforcement actions came six months after the problems of the way foreclosures were handled became public.

Some of the issues included bank employees who acted as “robo-signers,” blindly processing thousands of foreclosure affi davits. The servicers, under pressure from lawyers representing homeowners, admitted to lapses last fall and imposed brief foreclosure moratoriums.

Details of the enforcement actions, which have leaked out over the last two weeks, have been widely criticized by politicians, consumer and housing groups.

“Vague and toothless,” said Senator Jack Reed, a Rhode Island Democrat who has already introduced legislation to improve the foreclosure process. Democrats introduced the legislation in the House on Wednesday.

State attorneys general, who started a separate investigation, are still working with the Obama administration to change the foreclosure process in a more fundamental way. Two administration offi cials interrupted negotiations with the banks on Wednesday to stress they were actively working toward a settlement, although they declined to give any details.

“This process is going to take some time,” said Thomas J. Perrelli, an associate attorney general for the United States.

Eco-friendly features continue to pop up — even if their value can be tough to see

BY BARBARA BALLINGER CTW FEATURES

A gorgeous local-quarried granite countertop.

Bamboo fl oors that didn't destroy a tropical forest. A xeriscape of drought-tolerant plants that don't guzzle water. All are green-home features that don't just offer visual appeal but should be among the tipping points for sellers to sway potential buyers to their home versus another.

But it can be a tougher sale to convince them about the advantages concealed green materials and systems.

The perception of green prices being higher is another deterrent, particularly because of the recession — a double-whammy of a housing slump and consumer belt tightening, says Bill Worthen, resource architect for sustainability for the American Institute of Architects.

Yet, despite the challenge, green advocates are finding it a bit easier to make their argument about green's pros, says Worthen. One sign can be found in a recent AIA Home Design Trends Survey, which showed an increase in interest in energy management, geothermal heating/cooling and water reclamation. Among them is Steve and Lynnisse Patrick of Murfreesboro, Tenn., who currently are renovating their home with sustainable and energy-saving features. Among them: low-e windows; recycled lumber and doors; and Nichiha siding, a fiber-cement product made from recycled post-consumer waste.

Mark Williams, president of RSU Contractors, which is overseeing the Patrick's renovation, says the right selection for upgrades often depends on whether consumers are building new or remodeling.their current home. Some green improvements may make more fi nancial sense than others; for example, a tankless water heater may be diffi cult to retrofi t into a home with old plumbing lines, Williams says, Walid Wahab, owner of Wahab Construction in Miami, "People care a lot about green until they learn

the up-front costs of construction or demolition." Or, some buyers will pay for sometimes increased costs, but only up to a certain price, says Stephen Melman, director of economic services for the National Association of Home Builders.

Cost analysis According to the National Association of Home Builders, 61 percent of homeowners said they would spend more than $5,000 up front to save on utility costs. With that, 86 percent of home remodelers install Energy Starrated appliances to reduce future energy costs.

But all green upgrades don't require a huge initial investment, as there are many affordable options, what Horowitz terms "low hanging fruit," such as insulating outlets and switch plates on outside walls to stop heat loss.

Tax credits are available certain energy-effi cient upgrades, both for existing homes and new construction. The Wind, Solar, Geothermal and Fuel Cell Tax Credit, available through 2016, pays back 30 percent of the cost (with no cap) of geothermal heat pumps, solar panels, solar water heaters, small wind energy systems and fuel cells A credit for Qualifi ed Energy Effi ciency Improvements also provides a 10-percent credit for the purchase of qualifi ed energy effi ciency improvements to existing homes, "placed in service" between Jan. 1, 2011 and Dec. 31, 2011.

Worthen's top choices for easy green upgrades are insulation, sealed windows and doors, low- or no VOC paints, and ventilation and LED and fluorescent lighting with controls.

Informed decisions When shopping for new green home products or appliances, Worthen suggests asking potential vendors these questions: • What's the most environmentally friendly product?

• What makes it environmentally safe?

Consumer prices up 0.5 percent, pushed mainly by food and gas

BY CHRISTINE HAUSER CTW FEATURES

The cost of living for Americans rose in March, fueled by higher prices for food and energy, as inflation continues to creep back into the economic picture.

The Labor Department said Friday that ’the Consumer Price Index rose 0.5 percent in March, matching a 0.5 percent rise in February.

The report said that gasoline and food prices accounted for almost three-quarters of the increase, but outside of those two areas, prices remained subdued last month. The core index, which excludes food and energy, rose 0.1 percent, compared with a 0.2 percent rise in February.

Analysts had forecast an increase of 0.5 percent in the broader index and a 0.2 percent rise in the core index. In the past 12 months, the index has increased 2.7 percent, which is its largest jump since December 2009.

Higher consumer prices were reported Friday in India, Europe and China. In China, fi gures showed ’consumer prices rose 5.4 percent in March, up from February’s 4.9 percent. Infl ation in the 17-nation euro region increased to an annualized rate of 2.7 percent from 2.4 percent in February, the European Union’s statistics office reported Friday.

“Higher consumer infl ation will erode real

income growth and put pressure on household budgets,” said Stuart Hoffman, the chief economist for PNC Financial Services, said in a research note before the release.

The Labor Department report said the core index rose 1.2 percent in the last 12 months. Hoffman had forecast core index of 1.3 percent as accelerating but still below the “comfort zone” of the 1.5 to 2 percent preferred by the Federal Reserve, whose policy-making arm meets on April 26.

The report on consumer prices followed one on prices for wholesalers on Thursday. In that report, the Labor Department said higher energy costs accounted for almost all of the increase in the Producer Price Index, which was up 0.7 percent in March.

Consumers paid higher commodity and energy prices in March, when prices for a barrel of crude oil reached levels not seen since September, 2008, partly as turmoil in the Middle East heightened perceptions that supplies could be disrupted.

Economists have been concerned that the higher energy costs will constrain consumer spending.

In recent months consumers have also been coping with a trend of higher food costs, as bad weather hit some agricultural commodities, including corn and wheat, while vegetable prices have risen because of cold weather in parts of the south.

ASK A BROKER

Under, and looking lower

BY PETER G. MILLER CTW FEATURES

QUESTION: I want to take advantage of today's lower interest rates, but regardless of whom I speak with no one will talk to me once I mention that I have lender paid mortgage insurance.

I have a principal balance of $217,0000; the property is worth roughly $180,000, and I expect to keep owning the property for at least several years. Got any suggestions? Or is the lender paid mortgage insurance truly a dealbreaker?

ANSWER: Lender paid mortgage insurance is not an issue. No lender will refi nance your mortgage because you're substantially underwater.

Because you purchased with less than 20 percent down, the lender required that you take out some form of mortgage insurance. It could have been private mortgage insurance or a loan backed by the FHA or VA. Instead, the lender self-insured the loan by providing fi nancing with an abovemarket interest rate. The higher rate will hopefully be used to build a lender reserve or to re-insure the loan. Also, the higher rate is somewhat offset because it should be entirely deductible for tax purposes.

So, no, the issue is not how the loan was originated or insured. The prob-

The latest report from the National Association of Realtors says that home values rose in 78 out of 152 metropolitan statistical areas during the fourth quarter of 2010. If your property is in an area with price stability or even rising prices that may help you qualify for modification assistance. lem is that you have a home valued at $180,000 which secures fi nancing worth $217,000.

It's possible that you might be able to get a loan modifi cation with the government's Making Home Affordable program if your mortgage debt is not more than 125 percent of the property's current market value. However, is your home really worth $180,000?

That may not be the case, especially after one considers marketing costs and other expenses. For details, speak with your lender and see http://www. makinghomeaffordable.gov/borrowerfaqs.

Man held prisoner by Taliban says ‘Fryeburg helped me’ through the ordeal

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

FRYEBURG — A former student came home recently, after a long, harrowing journey.

“I’m here to thank this town and this community for what they did for me 25 years ago, and for what they did for me 18 months ago.”

Twenty-five years ago David Rohde was a high school student at Fryeburg Academy. His father moved to Portland after his freshman year, and the community welcomed him so he could continue his studies.

And 18 months ago he was in Taliban hands, held prisoner on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border by men hoping to trade him for millions of dollars and 15 Guantanamo detainees.

It was the love of his wife that helped him to endure those seven months, he told a crowd at the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center, along with the friends, family and values he brought with him from his days attending Fryeburg Academy.

“I can’t thank these friends enough and their families,” he said.

“Thank you for having me back home.”

Rohde graduated from Fryeburg Academy in 1985. He went on to study at Bates College and Brown University, and then to work for the Christian Science Monitor. He won two Pulitzer prizes, one in 1996 for coverage of the war in Bosnia and one in 2008 for his coverage of Afghanistan and Pakistan at the New York Times.

He was working for the Times in Afghanistan in 2008 when Rohde got the opportunity to interview a Taliban commander.

“Part of what made me want to do that intersee ROHDE page 19
