LONDON — In the end, Friday’s wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton may not have ushered in a new dawn for the frayed royal family or brought a renewed era of optimism to a country beset by financial woes, as some predicted in the overheated countdown to the big day. But it proved that the British still know how to combine pageantry, solemnity, romance (and wild hats) better than anyone else in the world. It was an impeccably choreographed occasion of high pomp and heartfelt emotion, of ancient customs tweaked by modern developments (Elton John brought his husband). Viewing estimates for the ceremony, at 11 a.m. British time on the dot, hovered in the three billion range, give or take 500 million. Australians held bouquet-throwing competitions; people in Hong Kong wore Kate and William masks; New Yorkers rose by dawn to watch the entrance of guests like Victoria Beckham, teetering pregnantly in sky-high Christian Louboutin heels. In London, the Metropolitan Police said, a million people lined the route of the royal procession, and half a million gathered in front of Buckingham Palace to watch the bride and groom, now known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, kiss (twice) on the palace balcony.

Obama tours wreckage of deadly storm

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (NY Times) — As President Obama visited Alabama on Friday, which was at the epicenter of a region that endured storms that killed hundreds across the South, people from Texas to Virginia searched through the rubble of their homes, schools and businesses for survivors. “I’ve never seen devastation like this,” Mr. Obama said during a tour of this college town, according to The Associated

Press. “We’re going to make sure you’re not forgotten.” Nearly 300 people across six states died in the storms, with the vast majority — 213 people — in Alabama. Tuscaloosa, the home of the University of Alabama, has in some places been shorn to the slab, and accounts for at least 36 of those deaths. Thousands have been injured, and untold more have been left homeless, hauling their belongings in garbage bags or

rooting through disgorged piles of wood and siding to find anything salvageable. By Friday morning, gasoline and other supplies were getting difficult to find in parts of Alabama. County emergency directors cautioned people to not show up to help. “They don’t yet have an infrastructure to handle donations or volunteers,” Phyllis Little, the Cullman County emergency management director, told a Birmingham television station.

Arrests in Germany said Fighting flares on two to avert Al Qaeda attack fronts in Libyan city BERLIN (NY Times) — The German police arrested three suspected members of Al Qaeda on Friday, saying they represented “a concrete and imminent danger” to the nation and had been planning an attack using explosives. The German authorities presented the bare outlines of a terror plot that they said involved at least one person trained at a militant camp in Afghanistan or Pakistan and a cache of material for producing explosives. The men had

been under surveillance for seven months, but the authorities said they decided to move fast when the three began preparations for testing an explosive device. “We succeeded in preventing a concrete and imminent danger,” said the interior minister, HansPeter Friedrich, in a statement that acknowledged assistance from foreign investigators. “This proves that Germany continues to be in the crosshairs of international terrorists, and we need to remain vigilant.”

MISURATA, Libya (NY Times) — The fighting in Libya briefly spilled into neighboring Tunisia on Friday when troops loyal to Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi forced rebels from a border crossing in the southwest and pursued them into a nearby Tunisian town, according to a rebel spokesman and fighter who witnessed the events. Regime forces attacked a convoy of rebel fighters and supply trucks at the checkpoint at Wazen in mid-morning, said Tarek Bodrani, the fighter, who was reached by telephone. Mr. Bodrani said a Qaddafi force with about 30 vehicles struck from the north and south, and seven pickups carrying antiaircraft machine guns followed rebels toward the Tunisian town, Dhiba, roughly three miles away.

Poll: Approval of Obama’s foreign policy slides in N.H. MANCHESTER — With wars on two fronts and military action in a third, President Barack Obama’s foreign policy approval numbers are sliding with New Hampshire voters. In February, New Hampshire voters were about equally divided on the president’s handling of matters overseas, but since then, the gap has grown considerably. “Currently, only 43 percent approve of his handling of foreign policy and 52 percent disapprove,” said University of New Hampshire pollster Andy

Smith. “Now, that’s down from 49 percent who approved in February, so there has really been a sharp drop.” The WMUR Granite State Poll was conducted by the UNH Survey Center and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.3 percent. Separately, numbers have dipped involving the president’s handling of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, despite the fact Obama inherited them from the previous administration. —Courtesy of WMUR

Horse rescuer finds bonus baby BY CARL ROBIDOUX THE UNION LEADER

DERRY – A dozen pink “It’s A Girl” balloons tied to a wooden fence outside Colleen Goulding’s house were flapping in the breeze Thursday. They were the closest Goulding could find to “It’s a Filly,” balloons. Two days ago, Goulding’s horse, Lacey Mae, gave birth to a healthy, gangly 60-pound filly, named Lilly Grace. “All along I wanted to name her Grace, as in Saving Grace, but one look at her and I knew she was a Lilly,” said Goulding. Saving Lacey, literally, turned out to be a happy accident, not only for the battered cast-away race horse that’s learned to trust again, but for Goulding, who got way more than she bargained for — two horses for the price of one — the day she brought Lacey home from a New Jersey kill pen. The birth, which happened quickly and without incident early Wednesday

morning, was the moment Goulding — and Lacey’s impressive community of online admirers — had been waiting for. “I set up something called Mare Stare, which is a web cam service that allows anyone to check in on a horse. It has been amazing,” said Goulding, who estimates by the time Lilly was born there were hundreds, if not thousands, of people who had taken to watching the “I Love Lacey” show on a regular basis. “It was especially comforting to know that all through the night someone was watching Lacey. Even if I fell asleep at midnight, someone in California was peeking in to see how she was doing,” Goulding said. “And I was just a text message away.” For weeks now, friends, relatives and virtual strangers of Goulding’s Itchy Withers link on marestare.com have been hovering over Lacey’s progress, and posting hourly reports on Goulding’s Facebook, elevating Lacey to near celebrity status, a far cry from where she was just six months ago.

Tamworth Inn is ‘too far gone’ to save at this point BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

TAMWORTH — Long a landmark in the village, the Tamworth Inn has been sold and now awaits the wrecking ball. Plans for the site are not yet set in stone, but could include a distillery, notes the new buyer, Philadelphia ad agency executive and part-time Tamworth resident Steven Grasse, 46. Owner of Quaker City Mercantile of Philadelphia, Grasse is also a marketeer of alcoholic spirits, including of a liqueur known as Root. Grasse also owns shares in the Narrgansett Brewing Company of Rhode Island. Grasse said he will be limited at the Tamworth Inn site by septic concerns but that the appearance of whatever he builds on the site will be compatible with the architecture of the village. “I am not sure yet what we will do there. I am very interested in [alcoholic] spirits, and I am particularly interested in farm-to-bottle: using locally-grown ingredients to make spirits, using such grains as rye,” said Grasse Tuesday. Grasse said in the days leading up to the sale that the building is beyond saving. “They did an extensive engineering analysis of it and it’s really too bad that it has gotten to that condition. That has been confirmed to me by the state fire marshal,” said Grasse Tues-

When the building is to be razed is not known, but is expected in the near future, now that the sale has been completed. The technical overview of the inn was performed by Shawn Bergeron of Bergeron Technical Services of North Conway. Bergeron appeared before selectmen April 7 to bring them up to date on potential plans for the site, according to selectman Will Farnum. “His comment was that after doing due diligence of looking the building, it structurally is not capable of being renovated,” said Farnum, who, like many, expressed sadness that the village landmark’s days appear to be numbered. A spokeswoman for Bergeron Technical Services of North Conway Friday said that the firm has yet to line up a demolition contractor so that rumors that the building could come down as soon as May 2 were “not accurate.” see next page

Former Tamworth moderator George Cleveland of the Gibson Center for Senior Services of North Conway said last week that a local non-profit had looked at the inn as a possible site for local senior housing several months ago, but that the group opted not to pursue the site after a building inspection determined the building’s poor condition. The 2.1-acre inn property is located at 15 Cleveland Hill Road and was listed for sale for $575,000. The inn has remained vacant since it was foreclosed upon last year by LaSalle Bank National Association of Dallas, Texas. Terms of the sale were not revealed. Listing agent for the sale was Peg Huddleston of Lloyd and Day Real Estate of Chocorua. “Things went very smoothly. No representatives of the bank, the seller, or the buyer, were present,” said Huddleston late Friday afternoon *** A self-described gentleman farmer when he’s not in Philadelphia, Grasse bought a 72-acre farm on Great Hill Road in Tamworth two summers ago. Last year he then bought the closed Village Store, located in the village next to the Other Store, both located across from the Barnstormers Playhouse and down Main Street from the inn. Crews are renovating the store with a planned mid-June opening. It will be known as The Lyceum. It will be a combination gallery, grocery, hard goods, reading area and coffee shop, according to Grasse. He had originally wanted to open a distillery in that store, but that possibility was ruled out by the state fire marshal because of its close proximity to the wooden Other Store, according

“One of the reasons why I want to buy [the inn] is that I wanted to make sure that whatever does go in there is conducive to the rest of the town. So, the best way to ensure that is to take care of it yourself.” to Farnum. Now it may be built once the Tamworth Inn is razed, if the site so allows. “One of the reasons why I want to buy [the inn] is that I wanted to make sure that whatever does go in there is conducive to the rest of the town,” said Grasse prior to the sale. “So, the best way to ensure that is to take care of it yourself.” He stressed that he is a preservationist at heart. “No one up there really knows me yet,” said Grasse, ”but they have to trust that I value land and historic preservation. Zero growth is my mantra.” Bergeron backed that up, according to Farnum. “The comment from Shawn,” Farnum said, “was that his client would put something back when they do rebuild that would be in character with the village, not something modern. But [with no zoning in Tamworth], of course, there are no guarantees with that.” Bergeron reiterated to The Conway Daily Sun last week, prior to the sale, that his then-unnamed client would respect the character of the village. “I can tell the people of Tamworth that whatever they do will be compatible with what Tamworth Village is like today,” said Bergeron.

The car of a 20-year-old Portland mom was discovered in a parking lot at Cranmore with the engine running and her infant daughter inside. Five days later, the body of Krista Dittmeyer was found in a pond at Cranmore. Her death is being treated as “suspicious,” but no conclusions have been drawn as to the “cause and manner” of her death. Assistant attorney general Jane Young did say at a press conference that she saw no need for “heightened” safety concerns on the part of the community. However, the community was already on heightened alert when, on Tuesday night, an armed robbery occurred at Jonathon’s Seafood restaurant in Conway.

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

From Nobodies to Nominees WASHINGTON — The conventional wisdom is that Barack Obama cannot be beaten. The root of this wisdom is the aphorism, sometimes attributed to former New York Gov. Benjamin B. Odell Jr. and sometimes to former House Speaker Joe Cannon, that you can't beat somebody (Obama) with nobody (any one of the dozen Republican nobodies, male and female, Trump and trumped). The provenance of that aphorism, which puts it at the beginning of the 20th century, points to the fallacy of that aphorism. Since then nobodies, or near-nobodies, have done fairly well. Five have been elected president since that time — in 1920, 1960, 1976, 2000 and 2008. Partisans of those five will howl in outrage at that characterization, but were Warren G. Harding, John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush and Barack Obama substantially more established political figures the year before they were inaugurated than the current crowd of Republican possibles? Sen. Kennedy and Sen. Obama —both charismatic and eloquent campaigners — scored historic victories when they became the first Catholic and black presidents, respectively. But neither was an inevitable nominee, let alone a favorite, for the White House at the time the 1960 and 2008 campaigns began. Sen. Harding may not have been even the most distinguished or distinctive Ohioan in the 1920 race; James M. Cox had served in the House and had two star turns as governor in Columbus. Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush were successful governors, but neither left footprints as deep as Mitch Daniels in Indiana or Mitt Romney in Massachusetts. There are, to be sure, some howlers in today's Republican field. But is Rep. Michele Bachmann, the tea party firebrand from Minnesota, more or less outside the American political mainstream than, say, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, who has run for president twice in Democratic primaries? Bachmann is part of a broader political movement that helped elect substantial numbers of House members last year and is an Iowa native, no small advantage. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia, whose prospects grow dimmer by the day as details of his personal life are examined, is only slightly less a has-been than was Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska, a Democratic candidate in 2008. Both are historical relics; one brought to an end 40 years of Democratic rule in the House, and the other is remembered for placing the Pentagon Papers into the Congressional Record. But the important thing to recall is that presidential challengers almost always seem weaker until they get the nomination, when their influence and appeal grows. The very act of accepting a major party presidential nomination has the effect of one side of the mushroom in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," which made her grow very tall indeed. (The other side of the mushroom has the power to make a person smaller. That's the side that must have been ingested by former Gov. Pete Wilson of California in 1996 and Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee in 2008.) Indeed, the Alice Effect transformed Kennedy from a senator taking on a sitting vice president into a political powerhouse who, at his nominating convention in Los Angeles, spoke of a New Frontier. Consider the speech he delivered there in the Los Angeles Coliseum:

Get Yours at Assets Jean Co. Official Retailer for MWV – Locally Made –

David Shribman

"The New Frontier is here whether we seek it or not. Beyond that frontier are uncharted areas of science and space, unsolved problems of peace and war, unconquered problems of ignorance and prejudice, unanswered questions of poverty and surplus. It would be easier to shrink from that new frontier, to look to the safe mediocrity of the past, to be lulled by good intentions and high rhetoric ..." Had that speech been delivered by a junior senator on the Senate floor, it would have been remembered by nobody, except perhaps Theodore Sorensen, who helped write it. But today it is remembered as a signature speech of the era, and the phrase is indelibly imprinted on the American character. A presidential nomination has that effect, and whoever heads the GOP ticket next August will have that platform — and that stature. That's why Obama's re-election is not assured, despite the apparent weakness of the GOP field. That said, Obama has many advantages. First is the presidency, of course, which confers upon him a gravitas and glamour that no challenger can match. Then there is his robust fund-raising operation, which grows out of his residency in the White House and his efficiency in raising money. That was on full display during his 2008 campaign, and allowed him to conduct $35,800-a-plate dinners like the one he held at the home of Jon Corzine, a former senator, governor and Goldman Sachs chieftain. Obama also has the power to control the political agenda, though in recent weeks he has ceded that to the Republicans, who have made the deficit the defining issue of the time, drowning out the surprising notion that low interest rates have rendered the cost of serving the nation's ever-bigger debt the lowest it has been in more than a dozen years. Still, the deficit remains a huge problem — and a huge drag on the Obama re-election campaign. Nobody wants to deal with the debt right now. Not the president, because the choices are politically unpalatable to Democratic interest groups, and not the Republicans, because the longer the issue persists the better are their prospects in 2012. Otherwise the budget question could be resolved in 25 minutes of reasonable compromise involving the Social Security retirement age and tax caps, Medicare benefit levels and eligibility ages, military spending cuts, and a comprehensive overhaul of the income-tax system that would please both the left (by eliminating loopholes) and the right (by lowering rates). As St. Augustine would say if he were a member of the House: Give me budget discipline, but not yet. The Republicans also seem to be saying: Give me a 2012 frontrunner, but not yet. But they'll have one soon enough, and when the eventual nominee walks onto the stage at the first debate next year, he or she will have the same podium and the same opportunity to score points as Obama. Of all the ladders of social mobility in America, none is steeper than a presidential nomination. It allows a nobody to become a nominee and thus a somebody in an instant's time. The person who knows that better than anyone on Earth is ... Barack Obama. David Shribman is executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.

Memorial has awesome team of caregivers To the editor: Just thought the people of this valley should hear about the awesome facility we know as Memorial Hospital. I have only had the pleasure of calling this area home for almost seven years. Almost a year ago I started having a lot of medical issues, one after the other. The rumor mill had me convinced that Memorial Hospital was not the place to receive treatment, except maybe for a sore throat, or something not too involved. Well I need to share my experiences, that ultimately have saved my life on more than one occasion. Starting with the incredible rescue teams (ambulance

and rescue workers) that are here in the valley, to the phenomenal staff at Memorial, from registration clerks, to the nursing staff, and the unbelievable teams of surgeons to primary care givers. A hospital is only a building, and is only as good as the people who are in that building providing top notch care. Back a few years while yard saling I came across an awesome plaque that reads “I wasn’t born here, but I got here as fast as I could,” and boy am I sure glad that this is now and shall remain the place I call home! With sincere gratitude we both just want to say thank you! Wayne and Mary Bolduc Redstone

Thanks for donation to church food pantry To the editor: The outreach committee of the Conway Village Congregational Church, would like to give a “big” thanks to Curves of North Conway, for the donation of food to our food pantry.

Thanks Tracy and Gang, also to North Country Fair for their cash donation. Sylvia Weld, chairman The Outreach Committee The Conway Village Congregational Church

Mr. Steer is clearly a very confused man To the editor: As I read Daymond Steer’s article, “Religion not cool at town meeting!” I clearly felt his disgust for God. I suffered through his disdain for religion in general. I endured his absolute obsession with denouncing Christianity. I tolerated his whining and justifications for his “beliefs,”

while my own beliefs were mocked and ridiculed. I am not sure if these remarks made Mr. Steer feel better (like a bully feels after belittling his prey). Mr. Steer is clearly a very confused man ... who lacks the gift of faith. Deb Howe North Conway

Tragic week ends with remembrance for Krista Dittmeyer BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Unmarked FBI cars and State Police cruisers dotted the Conway Police Department parking lot Friday, but for the first time in days no TV satellite trucks idled nearby. The nation’s attention has been riveted to the Mount Washington Valley for the past week as people hoped for the safe return and then mourned the death of Krista Dittmeyer, a 20-year-old Portland woman who disappeared Saturday. Even now, with her body found, there are more questions than answers. Her family’s hope has become grief. Police have made no arrests in the case. The case began on Saturday morning at 6:30 a.m. Someone called in a suspicious vehicle parked near the base of Cranmore. The car, a black Nissan Sentra with Maine license plates, was parked and running with its the hazards flashing. A door was ajar and an infant was inside. No adults were in the vicinity. The car belonged to Krista Dittmeyer, a Portland woman originally from Bridgton who had ties to the Conway area. She had last checked in with her family by phone the night before. The child, who was taken to the hospital and found to be healthy, was Dittmeyer’s 14-month-old daughter. She was eventually released to family. Around 9 a.m. that morning, the search began. State Police, firefighters and the county attorney all responded, combing the surrounding area until about 2 p.m. A later report by the county sheriff indicated authorities found blood in her car, but at the time authorities weren’t talking. Authorities impounded Dittmeyer’s vehicle that afternoon, and another vehicle later that night. From that point on they kept their cards shielded, only releasing the bare minimum of information. Sunday was Easter, yet senior Conway personnel were at the police station. see next page

It wasn’t until Monday, however, that the regional and national media caught wind of the case. Police held several impromptu press conferences throughout the day as the number of camera crews grew. Police had search warrants for the cars they’d impounded, and they were trying to get access to Dittmeyer’s cell phone records. They were imploring people with information about the case to contact them. They had frustratingly few leads otherwise. Police did announce they were draining a retention pond at the base of Cranmore, mostly as a precaution, but that they would not be draining another nearby pond used for snow-making. At that point police were saying they had no reason to believe Dittmeyer was not alive. She still hadn’t been found by Tuesday, but the police were starting to get a better picture of what her activities looked like before her disappearance. They were calling her disappearance “suspicious,” and they were getting help from the FBI. The questions from the press were growing more pointed, but the police were unwilling to release much. They said they were sure Dittmeyer’s baby’s father was not in Conway at the time of Dittmeyer’s disappearance, but they were unwilling to say he wasn’t connected. They were also unwilling to say how they knew he wasn’t around that night. It was that same day that members of the media learned Dittmeyer’s baby’s father, Kyle Acker, 26, was serving a prison sentence in Maine for selling cocaine. Police were unwilling to answer whether her disappearance was drug-related. Around 7:30 p.m. there was an armed robbery at Jonathon’s Seafood Restaurant in Conway. News crews raced to the scene, thinking the massive police response might be related to Dittmeyer’s disappearance, but the incident was unrelated. Later that night, Kyle Acker’s brother, Ricky Acker, 28, and another man, Corey Poland, 25, of Portland, called police to say they had found a flipflop in the woods near Cranmore that Dittmeyer had been wearing the night she disappeared. The call resulted in Poland’s arrest on an outstanding warrant for shoplifting. Nine hours later a call went out over the public safety radio channel that a body had been found in the snow-making pond just north of the Cranmore ski area base lodge several hundred yards from the parking lot where her car was found. Police kept the public far away from the scene, but almost immediately the Conway police began referring all comments to the Attorney General’s office. Over the course of the day, television trucks began packing the one open parking lot. A Fish and Game dive team arrived, and then a hearse, which left with a State Police escort. At 6:30 p.m. assistant attorney general Jane Young held a brief press conference. “It is with great sorrow that I tell you we located the body today of Krista Dittmeyer,” she said, putting an end to the four days of searching. The autopsy was performed on Thursday, but no further details were released. “At this juncture, the cause and manner of death remain pending,” Young said. “Deputy Medical Examiner Jennie Duval said she wanted to get the toxicology report back before she made a ruling, which could take six to eight weeks. A vigil in Bridgton on Thursday night drew 600 to 1,000 people bearing candles and remembrances of Dittmeyer. Her 14-month-old daughter was among the crowd. By Friday the press had left the area. Maybe the royal wedding has taken precedent, Young said, but she hopes they’ll be back. The details of the investigation have to be kept quiet, she said, so police can differentiate between people with information gleaned from the news and key witnesses, but the coverage is important. The media attention keeps people phoning in tips, she said — tips investigators are counting on. Investigators are going to keep quiet at least until they make an arrest, Young said, at which point more information will likely be released. She didn’t have an estimate for when that would happen. But whether the media is around or not, she said, “I’ll be here until it’s over.”

A week that was — on Facebook Page 16 — THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 30, 2011

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

The Conway Daily Sun has had a Facebook website for over three years. The first two years the site was relatively untouched. Over the past year though it had grown to about 2,000 fans. That number doubled over the last six days as people from around the globe turned to Facebook to follow what started as a the search for a missing mother and sadly, later, became a murder investigation. The Sun as of Friday afternoon had 4,152 Facebook fans, and at the height of the past week had over 8,000 people daily on the site hoping for any news about Krista Dittmeyer. Over a six-day period, the Sun posted 33 updates on the site concerning the search and later the investigation and ultimately a memorial service. Those posts attracted 862 comments and an additional 242 “likes.” To date on the site, the number of new people who have interacted with or viewed The Sun’s page or posts, including interactions from fans or non-fans, was 8,056, up 300 percent from March 29 to this past Wednesday. The number of new people who have “liked” The Sun’s page over that period was 1,314, up 1,629 percent. In terms of demographics, the Sun’s Facebook site states that 69 percent of the users are female while 29 percent are male. By age, 13-17,

1.9 percent are female, 1.4 percent are male; ages 18-24, 12 percent are female, 4.3 percent are male; ages 25-34, 16 percent are female, 6.4 percent male; ages 35-44, 18 percent are female, 7.7 percent male; ages 45-54, 12 percent female, 5.3 percent male; ages 55 and up, 8.6 percent female, 3.8 percent male. The following are some of the posts and responses from the past week, starting the morning Dittmeyer’s car was discovered with the engine running and her infant daughter inside the vehicle. Pat Quinn — “So saddened by the turn of events.....as a mom I am sick over this...hope they find Krista...my prayers are with the family at this time for a happy ending.” April 23 at 11:45 p.m. Tammy Thorne-Moody — “I am so glad the baby is safe. I hope that they find Krista and that she is safe as well. My thoughts and prayers to her family. Do the police or family have a picture of her to post so that people know who they are looking for? I know that a previous post states she is 5’2” around 117 lbs but that is too general of a description.” April 23 at 6:20 p.m. Ashleigh Nash — “Thank goodness the child was unharmed... hopefully the same can be said for Ms. Dittmeyer. Prayers out on this Easter weekend to her family for Ms. Dittmeyer’s safe return.” April 23 at 5:56 p.m.

Windy Harper — “Prayers to the family. I hope they find her safe soon... My heart is very heavy. I wish there was more that I could do... can we help in searches?” April 23 at 8:18 p.m. Royce G. Noble — “This is such a sad, sad thing to happen. I may not be home, but my thoughts and prayers are with Krista, family and friends. Lets pray God keep her in HIS arms and she is home safe soon!” April 24 at 5:52 a.m. Lauren Parker Smith — “All I can say is people need to be very careful of what they do. It doesn’t matter where you live, this is a crazy, sick world we live in. Always keep that in your mind and don’t put yourself in positions that may lead you to that type of person. This situation has me really scared for her...hoping for a positive outcome!” April 24 at 10:29 a.m. The Sun posted regular updates each day. The following was posted April 24 at 2:09 p.m.: “As of 1:30 p.m., Lt. Chris Perley, of Conway PD, reports no new developments in the investigation of the missing woman, Krista Dittmeyer. Police are securing evidence and interviewing people who know or recently saw the woman. Perley stressed that this is being treated as a criminal investigation, and there is no reason to believe the woman disappeared voluntarily.” It led to 22 comments. Nikki Hewett — “Krista would never just walk away from her baby. She loves her child and would do anything to keep her safe. Shame on anyone who thinks otherwise praying she is unharmed.” April 24 at 8:20 p.m. Mj Cormier Britton — “Please. Let’s not play Internet Sleuth here. First of all if you read the post it clearly states, ‘Perley stressed that this is being treated as a criminal investigation, and there is no reason to believe the woman disappeared voluntarily.’ They are the ones with the evidence.” April 25 at 7:04 a.m. Desneiges Gagnon Shackley— “Speaking as a family member, Krista would never in a million years leave that baby there and walk away on her own free will! Something terrible happened to her in that parking lot (or elsewhere) and it scares the hell out of me to think of... the possibilities. We all believe that Krista convinced her assailant to leave the baby and take her; that is the only way she would have left her there, hence why the flashers were on and the car was running, to keep Aliyah safe until someone spotted her! And that is what happened. Now we need to find Krista and bring her home safe!” April 25 at 10:28 p.m. The Sun posted the following Tuesday at 3:52 leading to nine comments: “Dittmeyer Update: The FBI has offered three special agents to help with the investigation.

Missing homeowner found after Fryeburg fire Page 18 — THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 30, 2011

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

FRYEBURG, Maine — A Fryeburg man wandered out of the woods hours after his Highland Park Road home burned to the ground early Friday morning. A neighbor alerted authorities to the fire around 6 a.m. Friday morning. The fire completely destroyed the threestory home, which was located at 245 Highland Park Road. The house has a view of Bog Pond and the Saco River. The homeowner, Dana Hatch, 58, emerged shirtless from the woods, seeking medical treatment, at around 2:45 p.m. Hatch was taken from the scene by ambulance. Rescuers spotted Hatch and then he came out of the woods, said Fire Marshal's Office Investigator Joel Davis. Hatch had cuts and scrapes but no apparent burn injuries. "Long day, a little strange how it all happened, but at least it all came out right, that's our biggest goal," said police chief Philip Weymouth told news crews on scene. At around 3 p.m. investigators said they had an idea of where the fire started. But the cause had not been determined. Hatch emerged just as a rescue dog arrived. Investigators said Hatch came out before the dog began working. During the search, investigators described Hatch as being 5-foot-9 and about 250 pounds. Neighbor Karla Schwarz said she was startled to see flames engulfing Hatch's home. She awoke at 5:30 a.m. but didn't look out her window until 6 a.m. Schwarz grabbed her phone and called 9-1-1 and the other neighbors. Schwarz had several dogs at her residence but none of them reacted to the fire. Schwarz said none of the smoke blew toward her home. Schwarz' husband, Gene, ran down to the home as quickly as he could. He considered going up Hatch's stairs, but decided not to because there was a propane tank down below. Karla Schwarz said she lived at the home

for 13 years. Schwarz said Hatch separated from his wife about a year ago. She described Hatch as someone who has kept to himself. "It was scary to see that his truck is there, his house is on fire, and where is he," said Schwarz before Hatch was found. When fire crews arrived the house was fully involved in flames and only part of it was still standing, said Davis. Family members arrived at around 12:30 p.m. They apparently didn't have any idea where Hatch went. Fire chief Ozzie Sheaff said firefighters battled the blaze for about an hour and a half. The building had collapsed into the basement. An excavator was used to dig through rubble to find clues

about the fire's cause and to find Hatch. Fryeburg Fire Department called several other fire departments for mutual aid. Those were: Saco Valley, Lovell, East Conway, Conway, and Brownfield, Maine. Fryeburg Fire Department needed other departments to bring them water. In all about 50 or 60 firefighters were involved. There were no firefighter injuries, said Sheaff who added he was told Hatch had no pets. Weymouth said Hatch was arrested last week on a domestic violence charge regarding his ex-wife. The police chief said Hatch has prior legal woes but he wasn't very familiar with Hatch's criminal record. Weymouth said police believe Hatch has applied for a job recently. He has been working as a self-

employed carpenter or mason. "It's very strange to have a fire like this so close to everything else that's gone on in the past week," said Weymouth. "People we have spoken to have given us no indication that there was any issue or that he was upset or angry." As of April 11, Hatch's home was listed for sale on several real estate websites, including Pinkham Real Estate, in North Conway. The three-bedroom, two-bath home was described as having “unsurpassed panoramic mountain and pond views set on nine acres,” according to the online listing. Asking price was $229,000.

the area are eager to help out and search, but the police are trying to do what is best for the case and Krista. I think they have been doing a wonderful job and everyone should be supporting the police as well as Krista and her family.” Tuesday at 5:25 p.m. Brendan Poutre — “Fortunately, the valley does not have to deal with these situations as most major cities have too! As well the Conway PD does not have to either. With that being said Lieutenant Perley as well as the rest of the PD are doing an outstanding job! The public often has a difficult time wondering what or how they are doing. They are the professionals and if the public gets involved it can distract an investigation or hurt valuable evidence. People are helping if they are just supportive in these tiring stressful times all the law enforcement officers are going through trying to solve this in the most efficient and quickest time line they can! The media world adds additional time and stress to them daily; they don’t need more stress from their locals! Hand them a coffee say thank you and allow them to do their jobs! They are and have been protecting and serving you!” Tuesday at 6:08 p.m. Wednesday at 6:24 a.m., The Sun posts: “The father of Krista Dittmeyer’s baby has not been ruled out as a suspect in her disappearance, but police know he wasn’t in Conway. He is currently serving a four-year prison sentence in Maine for selling drugs.” It led to 39 comments and some speculating that took a negative turn, but the vast majority of responders urged people to choose

their words more widely. Jaime Higgins — “Not the time or place to be expressing your negative opinions. You are making assumptions about a woman you don’t know. Krista is loved by many people and has a little girl who is crying for her mommy. Please show respect or keep your comments to yourself. How would you feel if this was your loved one or friend and someone said that about them?” Wednesday at 12:16 p.m. Sharon Haley — “The police, unlike us, cannot speculate on what might have happened and just make something up because they think it is right. They also have to follow certain protocols to ensure that justice is served in any case. They can’t release information that would jeopardize the case. They have to err on the side of caution in order to solve a crime and make sure that the criminals involved are not released on technicalities. They are trained professionals and we might not understand the way they do things. They are also human and have feelings just like all of us. I appreciate them and would like to acknowledge their hard work and dedication. Thank you to all law enforcement involved.” Wednesday at 10:46 a.m. Katie Knipp — “People are sickening the way they talk on here. The only thing anyone who does not know the girl should be doing is praying for her safe return and getting the word out and her face out there. Not judging her for the people she knows and what they are involved in. People need to know their role and know there is a time and a place and being so heartless does nothing but hurt the ones that are already hurting!

baby girl.” Wednesday at 1:45 p.m. Later Wednesday, news broke that a body had been found in Duck Pond at Cranmore. At 9:34 a.m., The Sun posted: “The police have found a body in the retention pond at the base of Cranmore. They have closed off most of the base of Cranmore, calling it a crime scene.” It led to 235 comments with many writing this paper acted too quickly in posting anything and should wait until the body reports were confirmed. Casey Watson Tanner — “For all of you defending the news and their methods and saying they are only doing their job, you would be beside yourself if this was your family involved! If you can argue with that you have larger problems that need to be addressed!” Wednesday at 12:39 p.m. Matt Koroski — “Sorry to be a messenger with bad news, just walked to Cranmore where an offi cer confirmed they a found a female body in the second pond drained. Not what I wanted to hear but when this gets brought into your neighborhood you do want to know what is happening.” Wednesday at 12:39 p.m. Julie James — “The public (along with reporters) own scanners which pick up the calls from dispatch. It is a fact that a Conway dispatcher struck a tone for police and rescue to report to the base of Cranmore because a body had been found. That ...is not conjecture, it is not an unsubstantiated fact. Since the information regarding a body being found came from police dispatch, it is pretty safe to assume it is true, therefore the Sun reported it! Finding a body IS news and therefore should be reported. As for the authorities waiting until they have ALL the facts (i.e., the identity of the person found), that may be a more respectful way to handle it, but dispatch has to tone out police and rescue, and people have scanners, so it’s kind of hard to keep tight-lipped about anything! I’m sure the family is not relying on the Conway Daily Sun for information — the last I knew family is contacted asap about any development.” Wednesday at 12:55 p.m. At 2:02 p.m., Wednesday, The Sun announced the state Attorney General’s office had taken over the investigation. It led to 48 comments. Holly Foss — “Sadly when anything happens in a small town, rumors, lies and speculation happens. Whether it be North Conway or some other little town it happens. I would say take it all with a grain of salt. The truth will come out soon enough! I just hope the family gets some resolution soon!” Wednesday at 2:11p.m. Asta Helgason — “So sad. Conway isn’t used to dealing with things of this horrific a nature, and that is a good thing really.” Wednesday at 2:19 p.m. David Robinson — “This sharing of information on Facebook is troublesome in many different ways. We as ‘adults,’ although I am a kid to some, people/parents need to understand how our younger generation communicates. How many are glued to your communication devices.” Wednesday at 2:51 p.m. Wednesday at 6:31 p.m., within a minute of a press conference at Cranmore, The Sun posted the news many had dreaded: “Jane Young, of the NH Attorney General’s office has confirmed the body found today in the snow-making pond behind Cranmore is Krista Dittmeyer’s.” It led to 69 comments. Jade Whorton — “So sad for the whole family, and that poor baby. My thoughts and prayers go out the her whole family and all her friends and her community where she lives.” Wednesday at 6:36 p.m. Cindy Sauerwein — “God bless her and her family. May our thoughts and prayers provide some bit of comfort to those she left behind.” Wednesday at 6:37 p.m. Molly Campbell — “No one with any angry words of any kind are helping. Now is the time to start the grief process, not argue over who said what when and whether or not it was appropriate. That is the most respectful and kind thing anyone can do for the family at this time.” Wednesday at 6:43 p.m.

On Thursday at 6:25 p.m., The Sun posted: “AG update: The autopsy of Dittmeyer’s body is done, but results will not be released until the toxicology report comes back, which could take six to eight weeks.” It led to 15 comments. Alison Giglio — “I wouldn’t assume anything at this point...they are not going to release much information on the cause of death because they do not want to hurt the case they are trying to build. As for the toxicology tests, that is very common. They have to cross all the t’s and dot all the i’s on this one....it does not mean she had drugs in her system or that drugs were involved at all.” Thursday, 6:30 p.m. Brandy Felts — “Toxicology are performed on any death that is deemed suspicious. Also they need to be thorough. It could turn up info that could help the case. Doesn’t necessarily mean they expect to find something specific. People should keep speculations to themselves, especially if they don’t know her. Leave it to police and AG to find the truth and bring this monster to justice.” Thursday, 6:30 p.m. Thursday at 10 p.m., The Sun posted a photo from the memorial service in Bridgton. It led to 78 people “likes” and 12 comments.

Allie Woods — “Wish I could have been there!!! Have thought of you everyday Krista! May you RIP and the person who did this burn forever.” Alyson Randall — “The amount of people that came out tonight was unbelievable! The outpouring of support for this family is amazing! I am so proud to be a part of this community! Now to find justice!” Jeannie Strickland — “We here in Texas were there in spirit and we have lit candles for her as well. She is loved by many and will be in our hearts forever. Love you, Krista.” Rebecca Reddy — “It was truly moving to see the community all offering support to the families and friends whose hearts are aching. And yes, now to bring the monster responsible for all this hurt to justice.” Ashley Gregory — “I am so proud of where I came from and to be a part of the Lake Region community. My heart and thoughts were in Bridgton tonight, while a special candle was lit here in Virginia for Krista. I even had friends who never had the opportunity to meet her lighting candles in memory all over the country tonight. My heart continues to go to Kayla, LaNell, Aliyah and the rest of the family. She will always be missed, but never forgotten.”

In Loving Memory

Albert “AJ” DiSilva March 5, 1948 to April 30, 2010

OSSIPEE — Under pressure from the county attorney, commissioners rescinded their policy on the impound yard, which would have forced local police departments to store vehicles being held in evidence rather than use the county yard. County Attorney Tom Dewhurst came to a commission meeting on April 13 to challenge a memo from the commission which said law enforcement agencies were no longer welcome to store impounded vehicles on county property. Those vehicles are typically evidence in criminal cases or were involved in crashes. "This is like a cease and desist," said Dewhurst. "I've got ongoing cases." But commissioners said it wasn't their fault. Their memo stated that the current impound yard is inadequate and lawmakers had cut $10,000 in funding to build a new one. Commissioners had already spent $4,500 to check the proposed new site for wetlands issues. The commissioners have $1 in the impound yard line item. Money can be moved into it if there is a surplus within the relevant department. The current impound yard is cramped, lacks security, and does nothing to mitigate environmental hazards of storing leaky vehicles. "We didn't have any money," said commission chair David Sorensen. "What else could we do?" Space is so tight around the impound yard, that there are

cars six inches from county buildings. A scrap metal pile is also growing closer to the impound area. Some cars have been there over 10 years. Sorensen noted that he once saw a tree growing right through a jeep that was being stored in the yard.

“I don’t think taxpayers would mind paying for an impound yard, especially when, I believe, it’s a Constitutional requirement (to have secure evidence). Imagine leaving evidence in the street.” Commissioners proposed creating an area with environmental protections and a security fence. It would be located closer to the county complex so that emergency dispatchers can have easy access to the gate. Dispatchers would be responsible for letting vehicles in and out. The commission's memo, dated March 23, states: "Since the present impound yard facility is causing a problem with vehicles leaking elements into the soil, the Carroll County Commissioners proposed to move all the impound property to a new location. But at the recent delegation meeting on the county budget on March 21, the representatives cut out all the funding for the new impound yard on county property. Therefore we have no alternative but to eliminate the use of county land as a repository of impounded property. It

will now be left to each town and or State Police Department to house such items and vehicles at their own locations." Dewhurst said several police chiefs in the county were going to approach commissioners if they didn't rescind the memo. After a lengthy discussion, commissioners agreed to continue accepting vehicles into the existing impound yard. However, they didn't take a formal vote to rescind the memo. During the talks, Sorensen suggested police chiefs should contact their local state representatives about the issue. Ed Comeau, who films the commission meetings for Governmentoversite.com, felt it was disturbing that so little care was being taken with evidence that could be used in court to put someone behind bars. Comeau also suggested officials should look at what other New Hampshire counties do with impound vehicles. "I don't think taxpayers would mind paying for an impound yard, especially when, I believe, it's a Constitutional requirement (to have secure evidence)," said Comeau. "Imagine leaving evidence in the street." Commissioner Dorothy Solomon recommended that Dewhurst get the cars removed as quickly as possible once cases are over. Dewhurst said he would work with the sheriff to manage the impound yard. There was also concern that the impound yard could become an eyesore for nursing home residents.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 30, 2011— Page 23

A perfect day at the Dahl Sanctuary land there today. In 1988, the land was donated to NH Audubon by long time valley residents Helen and Ruth Dahl. After that, the field was usually cut annually to maintain bird habitat. Although not a lot more was done at the time, NH Audubon was aware of the uniqueness of the property, and in 1994, a natural resource inventory was performed by local Chris Lewey. In 2004, NH Audubon president David Houghton promoted the idea of developing an Audubon learning center and store accessed by Route 16 and located on the northern end of the wooded bank, with the sanctuary behind it. This did not go over well with many north country locals, and NH Audubon members as well. Membership dropped. The president soon left. Starting in 2005, a new vision for the land was initiated. NH Audubon, working with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), part of the US Department of Agriculture, applied for a federal contract to implement conservation practices on the Dahl Sanctuary. On this small dynamic piece of land, the possibility of enhancing and protecting the rarest habitat in the state--the flood plain forest--was possible. Most flood plain forests in the state were cut long ago to make way for agriculture. In the Dahl Sanctuary, a small flood plain forest exists today. Its primary species is the towering silver maple. One hope is to expand the forest over time back out into the field, and closer to its original state. One of the first things done on the Dahl Sanctuary, was the mapping of invasive species of plants.

BY ED PARSONS Last Saturday was a perfect day for a guided tour of the New Hampshire Audubon’s 60 acre Dahl Sanctuary, located next to L.L. Bean in North Conway. It was raw, with wet snow turning to a cold drizzle. A dozen or so people braved the weather. “I was impressed by the number of people who showed up for the hike,” said Phil Brown, director of land management on NH Audubon’s 38 properties, which total 8,000 acres. “It was a commentary on the type of outdoor people in the area.” The group met at Eastern Mountain Sports, walked a few hundred feet to the sanctuary entrance, walked the trail system of the sanctuary and returned to EMS later for cider, cookies, and conversation. The outing was billed as a grand reopening of the Dahl Sanctuary. Some recent history of the property is needed to appreciate that, but first, a description of this unique piece of land. Squeezed between the Saco River and a steep wooded bank adjacent to Route 16, the land includes a rare flood plain forest, a field left over from agricultural use, and a “cobble barren,” or stone beach. The steep wooded bank protects the property from the highway above, giving a feeling of quiet isolation. This bank, which extends up the east side of the valley, was created by the old Saco River, which cut through sediment deposited on the bottom of the post-glacial Lake Pequawket, which filled the valley from Bartlett to Hiram. The quiet nook of the Dahl property was used for timber harvesting, grazing sheep, and growing crops, and these uses helped create the diversity of the

Then, about three years ago, Boyle Associates, an environmental consulting firm from Portland came on board. They contracted to eradicate invasive species (such as the Japanese Knotweed), and also did further inventory work. They also wrote a plan for the enhancement of the property with input from NH Audubon, then they carried out the work, including placing new information kiosks and signs. If you visited the Dahl Sanctuary in its early years of the 1990s, you would be surprised if you went there today. After walking down the old farmer access road from L.L.Bean, you come

out into the field. It used to be a uniform field. But now there is dug waterway part way across the field, built a year and a half ago, that connects with an old meander. In high water, an artificial wetland is created in the field. This not only enhances habitat for turtles, frogs, salamanders, great blue herons, and ducks. It is the first step in bringing back the flood plain forest. The silver maple loves to grow right next to water, and get its roots wet. Recently, silver maple seedlings have been planted in wet parts of the field, in hopes that they will take. When they do, they grow fast. see next page

Also, just before you reach the field at the bottom of the farmer’s access road, you will notice a new foot path to your left into the woods. This is part of the new circular path on the property. It goes along the edge between steep forest and flat field, and enters the unique cathedral-like flood plain forest of silver maples. Then it swings right back into the field, and connects with the old road out to the beach. Saturday morning we found ourselves on the trail in the flood plain forest. It was a diverse group.There was an experienced birder from Jackson, who had never been there before. There were Audubon volunteers from other sanctuaries. Most of us had on modern foul weather gear, but a distinguished local woman had a long black rain coat and umbrella, and she seemed just as comfortable as the rest. Nels Liljedahl and Debbie Eddison, the local contingent from the Natural Resources Conservation Service, were there. They had worked all along with Phil Brown on the Dahl Sanctuary plan. Also present was Rich Jordan from Boyle Associates. He had gotten his hands dirty in the planning and execution of the plan. Just as importantly, the sanctuary stewards, Bill and Carol Vose of Conway were there. They lived within walking distance of the sanctuary, and spent many joyful hours there keeping an eye out, working on management and upkeep, and observing such things as the bird species that used the new nesting boxes in the field. They have cleaned up plastic bottles and cans that have been swept into the floodplain forest from the overflowing river. Their public awareness activity recently included being interviewed on WMWV Radio about the sanctuary. Phil Brown led us on the trail through

the wet forest. In the nearby field, there was a surprising accumulation of wet snow. We walked over to an old silver maple with a great diameter. Behind it was a flooded meander that had many springtime wood frog egg masses in it. As we turned the corner back out towards the field, Brown noted that parts of the field will not be replanted in floodplain forest. Rather, different parts of it will be cut down in five to 10 year cycles, making for an ever changing habitat of field and young forest. This is great habitat for the woodcock, which requires both field and brushy areas. Also, circular areas beneath nesting boxes in the field will be cut low so birds can directly feed on insects. Brown noted that NH Audubon is looking for volunteers to help make the organization run, for example, someone who owns a “brush hog,” needed to mow down the saplings in a young forest on the five to 10 year cycle. Volunteers for trail maintenance are also needed. We turned onto the old road down to the cobble beach. As we walked close to the river bank, we saw the stumps of many young aspens recently cut by bank beaver that live in the river. Right on the bank, an older hardwood was girdled by them. Finally, we walked out on the beach of smooth stones, a place that is easy to linger and watch the river flow by. It was a special place. In the past, before there was a gate on the access road to the Dahl Sanctuary out on Route 16, it had been a community swimming hole and occasional party place. Now, as snow fell in large wet flakes, it was quiet and haunting. NH Audubon owns almost half of the cobble beach, and the adjoining floodplain forest. The remaining segments of each, down to the corner in the river directly below the northern lookout on Route 16,

is owned by the town of Conway. We walked up the cobble beach to the edge of the floodplain forest on the NH Audubon land to see two endangered species of plant--silverling and hairy hudsonia. There were over 300 small patches of silverling there, that were slowly invading the cobble beach now that the human impact is less. The hairy hudsonia was less prolific, growing in a few clumps. It was found in only a couple other places on the entire Saco River. There was a touch of wildness in seeing these endangered plants, that are repeatedly swept by wind and water. They represent, as does the entire Dahl Sanctuary, the goals of NH Audubon. Its mission is to preserve and protect the New Hampshire natural environment, for both wild-

life and people. The fact that we were enjoying these endangered plants in their stark environment, accomplished the second part of its goal. It was raining when we walked back on the dirt road by the river, reconnected with the loop trail, and finally climbed up the old access road to the parking lot at L.L. Bean, and across to EMS for some well deserved warmth and refreshment. To visit the Dahl Sanctuary, pull into the front of L.L. Bean, and park as close as you can to the sanctuary entrance at the further end. It is recommended that you thoroughly read the natural and human history on the new kiosk at the start of the walk. On your way out, you can sign the book and leave your impressions. For more information and for those interesting in volunteering, call NH Audubon at 224-9909.

these chipmunks will have retired from their duties. The chipmunks have accomplished enough to live off their winter’s seed hoard. “All winter long, the chipmunks eat and chill out, eat and chill out. And not just “chill out” in the sense of kicking back. They really do chill out by falling into torpor for stretches of up to eight days. Torpor is characterized by reduced body temperature, oxygen consumption, heart rate, and breathing, which all lead to much lower energy use. It makes a mouthful of sunflower seeds go a long way,” McFarland says. Biologists know that many animals sleepily enter torpor during times of resource scarcity. When things get tough, they shut their systems down and wait for better times. But torpor is not easy on the body in the long run, while allowing for short-term survival. Physiologically, each arousal from torpor is energetically costly. Arousals can account for 80 to 90 percent of total energy expenditure each winter. They can’t be avoided, and long bouts of torpor can depress the immune system, cause dehydration, memory loss, and damage to tissues through oxidation. As an animal cools down, the circulation of antioxidant enzymes and vitamins are slowed, resulting in oxidative damage to tissues over time. McFarland’s colleagues from Sherbrook

University in Quebec thought that chipmunks might be faced with a cost/benefit trade-off. They can benefit in the shortterm by going into deep and prolonged torpor to allow for energy savings in lean times, but they risk long-term physiological damage to their bodies from staying in torpor longer if conditions stay rough. The researchers set out testing freeranging, wild chipmunks using miniature data loggers that measured skin temperature mounted on tiny collars the chipmunks wore. Chipmunks in the summer had skin temperatures that averaged about 99 degrees F. In midwinter, they averaged 97 degrees F when not in torpor--in a chamber that was usually below 50 degrees F. Those existing on a natural diet spent a total of 104 days in torpor with an average skin temperature of just 48 degrees F, while those fed on a diet of black sunflower seeds and peanuts spent only 13 days in torpor, with a skin temperature of 72 degrees F. So, chipmunks may adjust the depth and duration of torpor according to the size and composition of food cached. Dave Eastman also broadcasts “Country Ecology” four times weekly over WMWV 93.5 fm.

Tin Mountain Conversation Center hosts workshop on saving money with alternative energy May 7

le b r a t e Mother’s Day

ALBANY — Looking to save money on energy costs for a home or business, but don’t know where to start? If insulation has been added and the heating system upgraded, it may be time to invest in some form of alternative energy. What are the best choices? Does it make sense to produce own power with a windmill, solar photovoltaic panels, or install a solar hot water system? The next workshop in Tin Mountain’s Energy Series will sort out the answers at the Tin Mountain Nature Learning Center Saturday, May 7, from 9:30 a.m. to noon. The workshop will start with a brief review of energy audits and weatherization as well as updates on state-of-the-art alternative energy technologies explored in previous sessions. A panel discussion follows featuring energy conservation and alternative energy professionals who will help determine the best returns on investment or “biggest bang for the buck.” Expert panelists have many years of experience helping home and business owners save money on energy costs, and each brings different perspectives including energy auditing, plumbing and heating, and alternative energy/energy conservation products sales and installations. Their experience examining individual situations avoids costly errors of installing technologies that either do not properly fit the building or lifestyle. Several local projects will be case studies, some

new and some that have been around for a long time, for applications that work and don’t, and the reasons for each will be discussed. Currently available incentives will be discussed that can greatly reduce cash outlays for these upgrades and alternatives, as well as an update on Tin Mountain’s TiMREI solar hot-water project initiated last Fall. It already has provided two local homeowners with low-cost solar hot water through volunteer Solar Energy-Raisers, and those interested can learn more or sign up. Questions are welcomed about particular situation for the group to consider or for individual discussion with the panelists after the

workshop. Those who already have made an investment in alternative energy and/or energy conservation are encouraged to share their successes (or otherwise). Workshop planners would be pleased to learn ahead of time so these stories might be included in the workshop, especially from those who cannot attend. The Tin Mountain Nature Learning Center itself is a showplace of alternative energy with its electricity producing photovoltaic, solar thermal systems, with wood backup. Facility tours will be available during the break. The workshop fee is $10 per members and $15 for non-member. Call Nora at 447-6991 to register or for more information.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 30, 2011— Page 31

Today is Saturday, April 30, the 120th day of 2011. There are 245 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 30, 1911, a fire broke out in Bangor, Maine, destroying much of the downtown area before it was brought under control the next morning. Two deaths were blamed on the blaze. On this date: In A.D. 311, shortly before his death, Roman Emperor Galerius issued his Edict of Toleration ending persecution of Christians. In 1789, George Washington took office in New York as the first president of the United States. In 1803, the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France for 60 million francs, the equivalent of about $15 million. In 1812, Louisiana became the 18th state of the Union. In 1900, engineer John Luther “Casey” Jones of the Illinois Central Railroad died in a train wreck near Vaughan, Miss., after staying at the controls in a successful effort to save the passengers. In 1939, the New York World’s Fair officially opened with a ceremony that included an address by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1945, as Russian troops approached his Berlin bunker, Adolf Hitler committed suicide along with his wife of one day, Eva Braun. In 1968, New York City police forcibly removed student demonstrators occupying five buildings at Columbia University. In 1973, President Richard M. Nixon announced the resignations of top aides H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, along with Attorney General Richard G. Kleindienst and White House counsel John Dean. One year ago: Heavy winds and high tides complicated efforts to hold back oil from a blown-out BP-operated rig that threatened to coat bird and marine life in the Gulf of Mexico. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Cloris Leachman is 85. Singer Willie Nelson is 78. Actor Gary Collins is 73. Actor Burt Young is 71. Singer Bobby Vee is 68. Actor Perry King is 63. Singer Merrill Osmond is 58. Movie director Jane Campion is 57. Actor Paul Gross is 52. Actor Adrian Pasdar is 46. Rock musician Clark Vogeler is 42. Rhythm-and-blues singer Chris “Choc” Dalyrimple (Soul For Real) is 40. Rock musician Chris Henderson (3 Doors Down) is 40. Country singer Carolyn Dawn Johnson is 40. Actress Lisa Dean Ryan is 39. Rhythm-and-blues singer Akon is 38. Actor Johnny Galecki is 36. Singermusician Cole Deggs (Cole Deggs and the Lonesome) is 35. Actor Kunal Nayyar is 30. Rapper Lloyd Banks is 29.

GIRL FEARS SHE’S FALLING BEHIND IN TEEN DATING GAME

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old girl who has never been popular with boys. It has always been something that has bothered me. The hardest part is watching my friends date while I have to stay home. One way I was able to make myself feel better was by telling myself everything would change when high school started. By the end of our first week as freshmen, my friend “Lily” had a new boyfriend and I’m still alone. Her boyfriend actually joked that I should “play for the other team” because I have no chance of getting a guy. Needless to say, my friendship with Lily is over, but her boyfriend’s comment is still sticking with me. Abby, do I really have no chance with guys? Am I overreacting about not having a boyfriend? I feel I should have dated plenty by now. -- WAITING FOR THE FIRST KISS IN JERSEY DEAR WAITING: The comment Lily’s boyfriend made was asinine and uncalled for. Please don’t measure your worth using that immature boy’s yardstick. Not being a belle of the ball in high school doesn’t mean you won’t blossom socially later. Many people do. You will get the kiss you’re craving and validation, too, if you’ll be a little more patient. Use this time to concentrate on your studies, athletics, special interests, volunteering in your community and completing your education. Those things are more important than a boyfriend right now -- and they’ll leave you with less time to brood. When you’re older, you will meet men (not boys) who value what you have to offer. And yes, I know you have probably heard this before, but it’s true. DEAR ABBY: I have a woman friend who is always saying

to me, “I wish just you and I could go do something together.” So the other day I called her and suggested we visit a local flea market -- which we both love -- and then go to a local festival. She replied that it sounded great, but she needed to talk to her husband, “Ted,” to see if he wanted to join us. Abby, she does this to me all the time. I’m tired of inviting her for a girls’ day and having her come only if Ted is coming. Should I stop the invitations? -- TICKED OFF IN FLORIDA DEAR TICKED OFF: No, before you do that you should tell her how you feel about her sending you mixed messages. And if it happens again, THEN stop inviting her. DEAR ABBY: I recently took my official college graduation photo and was excited to show my mom. She said she was OK with my giving her one of the small photos because she didn’t want to put any more holes in the wall. It really upset me. I am the first person in my family to graduate from college. Mom’s comment about not wanting holes in the wall was unacceptable. I argued with her, cried and told her how I felt. Mom told me to get out and that I had no right to tell her what to do in her house. I’m still hurt. I feel that if she’s as proud of my accomplishments as she says, she should show it. She apologized later, but her comment still stings. Please help me get over it. -- UPSET COLLEGE SENIOR DEAR UPSET: I’ll try. Your mother may have been tactless, but it’s important that you bury the hatchet. Her pride in your accomplishments is not as important as your own pride in them. Remember that, and no one will ever be able to make you feel diminished!

Spring burning in the White Mountain National Forest will begin this month as ground and weather conditions become right for safe and effective burning. Chase Marshall, White Mountain National Forest Fire Management Officer, is keeping a close eye on the weather and moisture levels in the various sites around the forest. “We have a site-specific burn plan for each area that describes the exact conditions we need before we’ll ignite a fire. We wait for the right wind, weather, and moisture levels that will allow us to burn safely. The burn plans also spell out all the details for the kinds of equipment and the number of trained firefighters needed at the site, and coordination with local fire departments.” The Forest Service plans to burn areas in the New Hampshire towns of Chatham, Conway, Berlin, Randolph, Milan, Gorham, Benton, Easton, Ellsworth, and in the Maine towns of Gilead and Albany Township. The burn sites range from 1 to 54 acres in size. Up to 240 acres of the 796,000-acre National Forest is planned for burning this spring. Prescribed fire is used to meet multiple resource objectives, includ-

all things

ing the maintenance of wildlife openings in the forest. These openings provide grassy meadows or shrubby areas, adding to the diversity and complexity of habitat essential for some forest dwellers. “Periodic burning of these sites helps to maintain habitat for feeding, nesting, and cover for many wildlife species,” says Leighlan Prout, White Mountain National Forest Wildlife Program Leader. Burning also reduces the amount of accumulated forest fuels such as dead leaves, brush, and downed wood, lowering the risk for a wildfire. Prescribed fire can also prepare a seedbed on the forest floor for regeneration of certain tree species such as oak and pine. The burns are ignited and controlled by wildland firefighters with up-to-date training and gear. Firefighters stay prepared for assignments here and out west if needed for wildfire suppression. Marshall notes that most of the burn sites are well away from populated areas and will cause little if any inconvenience to National Forest visitors. For more information call Chase Marshall at White Mountain National Forest Headquarters, (603) 536-6262 or your local Ranger District.

What is your story of kindness?

Evergreen Institute for Wellness sponsoring kindness essay contest At some point in life, has someone’s act of kindness made a significant impact on you? Everyone has experienced the generosity of a friend, relative or complete stranger at a moment when it was most needed. Spontaneous kindness, big or small, given or received, reminds us of our inter-connectedness and inherent human goodness. It may well be the secret to true happiness. In the spirit of kindling many flames of kindness throughout the Mount Washington Valley, Michael Chase of the Kindness Center in Maine is returning to the area to lead a “Weekend of Kindness” with activities throughout the Memorial Day weekend. Locals and visitors alike can participate in many opportunities to hear the kindness message as well as enjoy surprising others in the community with random acts of kindness. As part of the events related to Kindness Weekend, people of all ages are invited to send their stories of kindness to the Kindness Essay Contest being sponsored by Evergreen Institute for Wellness, the weekend’s presenting sponsor. Entries are due by Wednesday, May 18, and can be downloaded at their website, www.evergreenforwellness.org. According to Patricia McMurry, president of Evergreen’s board, “The purpose of our essay contest is to encourage individuals to think more deeply about how they have been impacted by the kindness of others,” she said. “We want to inspire one another to make the world kinder, one small act at a time.” To enter the Kindness Essay Contest, individuals are asked to write an original essay of 500 words or less describing how an act of kindness they experienced impacted their life. The kind action could have

been the smile on a cashier’s face at just the right moment; a phone call offering help; food when money was tight; a hug; a letter; an attentive listening ear. There are three age categories for the essay contest – children 12 and under; teens 13-18; adults 19 and older. Essays will be judged on content, the thoughtful explanation of kindness received, spelling and grammar. Community judges include Patricia McMurry, Sara Wright, A.O. Lucy, Penny Kittle, and Howard Stanten. Winners will be announced on Friday, May 27, at the kick-off of Kindness Weekend. Some of the prizes for adults include a Residence Inn weekend getaway and tickets to Stone Mountain Arts Center; in the teen category, passes for Bretton Woods Canopy Tour and a Settlers Green shopping spree; for the children, passes for Storyland and a Hampton Inn pool party. The entire weekend, most of which is free and open to the public, is being produced as a service to the community by the Michael Kline and the North Conway Village Association (a committee of the MWV Chamber of Commerce), presenting sponsor Evergreen Institute for Wellness, businesses sponsors such as the Mount Washington Radio Group, The Met, Soyfire Candle, and others as their gift of kindness to the entire valley. Visit Evergreen’s website for more details and an entry form for the Kindness Essay Contest or call (603) 651-7475. Information and event schedules for the Kindness Weekend can be found at the Kindness Weekend home page, www.kindnessweekend. com. Send essay entries to Evergreen Institute for Wellness, PO Box 399, Conway, NH 03818, or by email to evergreenforwellness@gmail.com.

Walk through the grades at Waldorf School May 3

The selectmen meeting on Wednesday was short. Good to note that there is continued growth in Albany as to building additions. That’s a good economic sign. The Public Service of New Hampshire work in Wildwood is going well. Interestingly, PSNH managed to find funding for the project, so that the town would not be obligated for the repairs to the underground wiring. Richard VanDyne has been appointed to the Land Governance Board to replace the vacancy due to the resignation by Harry Richardson. Please be advised that the selectmen’s office will be closed on Thursday and Friday, May 5 and 6, as Kathy will be attending a conference. Waldorf School: The first Tuesday of each month, starting May 3, at 8 a.m., “Walk through the Grades” at the school and experience first hand the Waldorf education. You will be led through the grades and get a glimpse of the main lesson in each class. For further information or to RSVP call 447-3168. Keep May 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. free for the annual May Faire Celebration. Tin Mountain: May 7 from 9:30 a.m. to noon, learn how to invest in renewable energy from the experts.

Bring your own shovel, hoe and container to bring home roots to replant. On Tuesday Gordon Mann will present a slide show on Chile at 12:30 p.m. On Thursday, the dining room will be closed though Meals on Wheels will still be delivered.

The Gibson Center will present the Center Stage Players, “Originalia” on Monday, May 16, at 12:30 p.m. It is free, but donations would be appreciated. There will be five original comic life situations presented by actors whose age range from a lively 60 to a vigorous 95. “Get the Broom” done by Patricia Johnson, “Males on Wheel” with Pat Zacharias, “Book Talk” by Ann Cort, “Priceless” by Everett Hanke, and “Unexpected Assistance” with Edie Hazard. I met Charisse Hirshfeld and her daughter, Gabrielle Croto at the annual community seder held at the Gibson Center last Monday. Congratulations to Gabrielle who placed third in a gymnastic contest. All indications are that Ann Croto is doing well. Also doing well and getting around and about is Dick Wales. Good to hear that. Ever thought of having lunch at the Mineral Springs Cafe at Kennett High School? They’re open Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on school days. Treat yourself to a good lunch and support the students at the same time. The Mount Washington Valley Children’s Museum holds a dress-up day for children ages 1-9 on Thursdays. They have lots of costumes and the kids can explore the rest of the museum afterwards. It provides hours of entertainment as well. The admission is free from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Spring is on the rise. Buds are rising and some trees are in bloom. Good to see that. Have a wonderful week and keep strong.

The family of Carla MacKay wishes to express our sincere thanks to family, friends and co-workers for their phone calls, cards, flowers, food and support. We cannot thank the staff of Mineral Springs enough for the care and support she received during her stay. Our thanks to Dr. Angus Badger and the staff of Memorial Hospital for their care during her recent stay. Our special thanks to Dr. Donald Derse for a wonderful service. Charlie and Chuck, you guys are always there for us and this community. Please know how much we care for your friendship and professionalism.

Service dog group thanks volunteer puppy raisers A.C.T.S. seeks more volunteers to help raise and train service dogs Most non-profit organizations could not function without volunteers, and Assistance Canine Training Services (A.C.T.S.) is no exception. This all volunteer organization would not exist without the support and efforts of puppy raisers, who take A.C.T.S. puppies from the age of eight weeks and work with them for one to two years. Each puppy must be well socialized, trained in basic obedience, and trained to do service dog tasks. Puppy raisers are dedicated individuals that open their homes and hearts in order to help provide independence for an individual with a physical disability. According to Executive Director Dot Hyde-Williams of Tuftonboro, “There is no greater gift than independence, which is what our dogs do for their partners. Without Puppy Raisers, we could not give that gift. I can’t say how honored I am to know and work with each and every one of them.” Puppy Raisers do not need experience in dog training. They just need to have the time and willingness to learn and grow along with their pups. A.C.T.S. puppies live with their Raisers and each Raiser learns how to properly socialize and train their dog. Local classes for puppy raisers are run by volunteer, Robin Crocker, owner of Telling Tails Training Center. Crocker said, “Puppy raising is on the job training. We work with Raisers continuously through the process, teaching them everything they need to do a good job.” Robin has been training service dogs for over 15 years. Training classes are free to A.C.T.S. puppy raisers and the growing support system gives raisers help whenever they need it. Volunteer, Cathy Burke coordinates the local Mount Washington Valley Puppy Raising Chapter for A.C.T.S. According to Burke, “Puppy Raising is one of the most satisfying things I have ever done.” Burke is also responsible for finding new puppies for the program.

PRE-SEASON SPECIAL

ACTS voulunteers raise puppies for one to two years and prepare them to help people with physical disabilities.

The Mount Washington Valley Chapter of A.C.T.S. is proud and grateful to have five people currently raising seven puppies for the program. Cathy Burke of Intervale, Robin Crocker of Center Conway, Kathy Cossette of Fryeburg, Nancy Osborne of Madison, and Wendi Shaw of Conway are all working with one or two A.C.T.S puppies currently. Between these five raisers, there is over 40 years of volunteer Puppy Raising experience. A.C.T.S. desperately needs volunteer Raisers. According to Burke, “I am getting opportunities all the time to take donated puppies, but we can’t take any more puppies without more raisers. We really need homes for these little guys.” Executive Director Dot Hyde-Williams says, “A.C.T.S. is fortunate. We have so many wonderful people volunteering for us. Our board of directors, breeder caretakers, vets, groomers, dog trainers, and of course puppy raisers.” If you are interested in learning more please contact Cathy Burke at 603-986-6600.

THE CONDO COLUMN

Buyer beware By Susan K. O’Brien If you’ve just bought a brand new condominium in New Hampshire, check out and report any problems very quickly to the N.H. Office of Consumer Protection. That’s because the New Hampshire House of Representatives has sent to the Senate a budget proposing to close this office, the single biggest elimination of a government service. In a speech to the Greater Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce, Gov. John Lynch said eliminating Consumer Protection is worrisome and “doesn’t make sense in my mind.” (Seacoastonline.com, April 22, 2011.) As if condo issues of all kinds aren’t bad enough in terms of redress, these changes would completely remove the current protection for new condo construction. Under that protection, you, the owner, currently may appeal to the state for assistance and relief from deceptive sales practices and/or poor construction. You may not appeal to the state for issues involving other condo and board disputes. “There already are limits to Susan K. O’Brien what we can do,” James Boffetti, senior assistant to the Attorney General and chief of Consumer Protection told me in an interview. “This budget would eliminate the controls we currently have over our process to register condominiums prior to sale. We provide this registration to help insure that everything is in order for consumers.” Boffetti said his office receives about 7,500 complaints every year on a wide variety of issues. In addition to the investigation process for new condos, Consumer Protection covers — among others — everything from nursing homes to oil providers to health care, some of which involve public safety. I wonder if innocent prospective condo buyers have any idea just how expensive it can be to try to get remedies for wrongs from developers or recalcitrant condo boards. In the case of a problem I had, it cost $500 just to sit down with an well-respected attorney, explain the situation, and pay him to write one letter to my condo board. The letter was ineffective in solving the problem. In order to get a real result, I would have had to spend thousands of dollars in an open-ended relationship with the attorney. A few viewings of the “Holmes on Homes” program on HGTV gives depressing snapshots of what incompetent or negligent contractors can be capable of in construction: everything from water gushing into walls to unsafe electrical work and dangerous deck construction, to name just a few. If you don’t have the money to fix it, and you don’t live in a state where there’s consumer protection, you’ve got a big problem. While some condo owners may be wealthy enough to absorb unexpected costs, many buy into condos precisely to save money by eliminating what is perceived as the moreexpensive-to-repair single family home. “There already are limits to what we can do. We don’t have the resources to handle comsee CONDO page 48

Understatedly oversized Today’s Home of the Week is a distinctive contemporary set on 1.88 acres on McNeil Road in Fryeburg.

FRYEBURG — Large, distinctive windows look out over the fields of Fryeburg and toward Mount Kearsarge in the distance from this McNeil Road home. Built in 1988, the home is “understatedly oversized,” says listing agent Theresa Bernhardt, of Badger Realty in North Conway, with 4,000 square feet of space. There are 12 rooms altogether, including three-plus bedrooms and four baths. There is also a detached two-car garage. The home is situated on 1.88 acres and is within the Fryeburg Academy school district. see HOME page 50

A large gourmet kitchen is one of the home’s many features.

The home looks out over the Fryeburg fields and toward Mount Keasarge in the distance.

plaints not in our mandate,” Bofetti said, reminding me of a different statistic one of his staff members told me several years ago: Consumer Protection may get as many as one or two calls per day about condo issues, from people often desperately looking for help. That’s a lot of unhappy owners. But, “It is not our mandate to take on disputes between owners, for example. The initial registration process alone is very time-consuming. Our role is to try to provide relief for defective condominiums sold through unfair tactics.” So what can you, the condo owner, do if you face a difficult condo problem? First, define that problem; then figure out where to go with it. “If there is a criminal issue of theft or misappropriation of funds, it should be reported to the county attorney or local police,” Boffetti advised. If it’s an interpersonal dispute, try and resolve it within your association; remember, too, that making such an effort prior to going to outside resources can protect the reputation of your association. Involving attorneys or other authorities usually results in long-term anxiety and possibly major expense. In general, Boffetti explained, “The larger the association, the more prob-

lems there will be with communication.” Therefore it’s important to stay involved to know what’s going on with your association and your board. Numerous Condo Columns have advised prospective condo buyers, whether for new construction or existing units, to do their homework prior to purchase. Boffetti reinforced these strategies: * Read the bylaws. Determine whether or not the association enforces them. * Carefully examine all financial statements. * Get a statement of anticipated future assessments. * Hire a very good home inspector who comes highly recommended by people you know and/or trust. Don’t just have the interior checked; obtain an inspection of the common property, including the roof and exterior siding. * Obtain a complete history of condo dues; those dues should be free of wild up-down fluctuations. * Determine how many units are owner-owned, and how many are rented. Review rental rules with the association’s property manager, and obtain a statement that those bylaws are enforced. * Who runs the association?

property management. Have formal complaints been filed? Has any complaint ever gone to court? If you have any questions involving legalities, I strongly suggest you review any potential problems with a real estate attorney before you buy. Yes, it costs money, but like many other life situations, an ounce of prevention is worth thousands of dollars in condo cures. The elimination of Consumer Protection services would be a trip back to the dark ages of commerce, when buyers had no protections whatsoever. I remember many sad tales my uncle, a car salesman, told me of customers who came to him after buying — and having to scrap, without legal redress — totally defective vehicles they had purchased from other companies. Is this really what we want, to turn back the clock to those days? Buyer beware on two fronts: beware of deceptive sales tactics from developers and/or real estate agents,

Is this really what we want, to turn back the clock to those days? and beware of elected officials who wish to remove what protections do exist for you. Remember that if you are like most people, your investment in your home is likely the largest investment of your financial life. You probably can’t afford to buy a condominium

that’s defective and absorb the cost of fixing it. It’s a privilege to have public services funded through taxes. Public schools, police and fire safety officials, and consumer protections, are a necessary part of a civilized society, not a luxury. New businesses contemplating coming to your state take into consideration what public services are available and quality of life for employees. You get what you pay for. With a new condominium, if you don’t get what you paid for the first time, you may soon have to pay for it again. To read more about the N.H.

New rules changing the way mortgages are being offered BY MARILYN KENNEDY MELIA CTW FEATURES

Live and learn. In the past few years, many homeowners have found it impossible to live with their mortgage. Recently, the Federal Reserve instituted a new rule on how mortgage brokers are paid, learning from what many observers say caused trouble for borrowers. Among other things, the rule bans brokers from receiving a bigger fee from a loan company based upon a higher interest rate charge on the mortgage a borrower takes. Before, "There was an incentive for brokers to [sell] loans that aren't best for borrowers," asserts Ira Rheingold, executive director of the National Association of Consumer Advocates. Now, brokers can be paid either from fees paid up front by the borrower or from a pre-set, agreed-upon percentage of the loan that is paid by the loan company, "but they can't be paid both ways," explains Jack Guttentag, professor emeritus at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania who runs the website mtgprofessor.com. Many brokers have opposed the rule. With a set profit for every loan that's made, brokers have less flexibility to serve individual customers, complains Jeri Lynn Fox, past president of the Illinois Association of Mortgage Professionals. Also, Guttentag notes that there were and are honest brokers who didn't put customers in unfairly high-rate loans. While regulators and factions of the lending business have rigorously debated, consumers are only interested in one question, says Ira Rheingold, executive director of the National Association of Consumer Advocates: "How do I find a well-priced mortgage?" Here, a primer on mortgage shopping today:

Among other things, the rule bans brokers from receiving a bigger fee from a loan company based upon a higher interest rate charge on the mortgage a borrower takes.” Banker or Broker? The rule, which went into effect April 1, impacts only mortgage brokers, not banks. John Q. Public, looking to refinance or buy a home, may not know the difference between the two, and simply walk into any neighborhood office advertising mortgages. A broker is not working directly for the company providing the money for the loan, explains Guttentag. Brokers often have relationships with several loan companies. Indeed, brokers tout these multiple relationships as a consumer advantage in that they can select the best terms amongst several lending firms. Loan originators at banks, on the other hand, work for the firm providing the funding for the mortgage. For consumers unsure about who's who, simply ask if the person sitting before you is a broker or loan officer at a bank, suggests Guttentag. Fee for Service No matter where you seek a mortgage, there'll be plenty requested information and paperwork. And, both banks and brokers must be compensated for processing all of it. While rule now dictates that brokers be paid either by a lending company or a borrower but not both, banks can earn their money from both a fee charged to the borrower and/or a slightly higher interest rate charge, explains Rheingold. When borrowers elect to use a broker who is paid by the lending company, they still will encounter some fees, like those charged by an appraisal firm or title company. Comparison Shop Then, talk to a couple of lending firms, suggests Rheingold. However, "You can't just call around and ask, 'What are your best rates,'"

notes Charles Chedester, president of the Iowa Association of Mortgage Professionals. For free, or for a small credit check fee, most firms will talk about your savings, income and home you expect to buy, giving an idea of what rate you might qualify to receive, he adds. Then, consumers must calculate whether it's worth it to pay an upfront fee. For instance, illustrates Chedester, it may be worth it to you to pay $4,500 up front for a 5-percent $250,000 loan, rather than no upfront fees for a 5.25 percent rate. © CTW Features
