Conway El. makes case for full-day kindergarten School is already offering full-day program for kids in need of extra help

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Staff at Conway Elementary School believe the time has come for full-day kindergarten. They say there are significant education benefits for children exposed to a whole day in the classroom.

While the Conway School District currently offers just half-day kindergarten at the moment, Conway Elementary, through the use of Title I federal funds, has been able to provide a full day for those students in need of intervention over the past three years.

“Right now at Conway El. we have a half day for all students, the traditional, sort of what everyone else is doing, and then we also have a half day extra for students who need interventions,” principal Brian Hastings explained during an

Dinosaurs big as buses and fuzzy as chicks (NY Times) — Fossils discovered in northeastern China of a giant, previously unrecognized dinosaur show that it is the largest known feathered animal, living or extinct, scientists report.

Although several species of dinosaurs with feathers have already been uncovered in the rich fossil beds of Liaoning Province, the three largely complete 125-millionyear-old specimens are by far the largest. The adult was at least 30 feet long and weighed a ton and a half, about 40 times the heft of Beipiaosaurus, the largest previously known feathered dinosaur. The two juveniles were a mere half ton each.

In an article in the journal Nature, published online Wednesday, Chinese and Canadian paleontologists said the discovery provided the first “direct evidence for the presence of extensively feathered gigantic dinosaurs” and offered “new insights into early feather evolution.”

Xing Xu of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing, who was the lead author of the paper, said in a statement that it was “possible that feathers were much more widespread, at least among meat-eating dinosaurs, than most scientists would have guessed even a few years ago.”

(NY Times) — Teams of scientists working independently to understand the biology of autism have for the first time homed in on several gene mutations that they agree sharply increase the chances that a child will develop the disorder, and have found further evidence that the risk increases with the age of the parents, particularly in fathers over age 35.

The gene mutations are

extremely rare and together account for a tiny fraction of autism cases — in these studies, only a handful of children.

But the odds that two or more people in any small group will have such problems in the same genetic location are vanishingly small, strongly suggesting that the mutations are related to the diagnosis.

Scientists have been debating the relative influence of inherited risk and environmental fac-

tors in autism for decades, and few today doubt that there is a strong genetic component. But biologists have groped in vain for a reliable way to clarify the underlying genetics of these so-called autism spectrum disorders, including Asperger syndrome and related social difficulties that are being diagnosed at alarmingly high rates — on average, in one in 88 children, according to a government estimate released last week.

Iran’s efforts to stir Afghan violence worry U.S. WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Just hours after it was revealed that American soldiers had burned Korans seized at an Afghan detention center in late February, Iran secretly ordered its agents operating inside Afghanistan to exploit the anticipated public outrage by trying to instigate violent protests in the capital, Kabul, and across the western part of the country, according to American officials.

For the most part, the efforts by Iranian agents and local surrogates failed to provoke widespread or lasting unrest, the officials said. Yet with NATO governments preparing for the possibility of retali-

ation by Iran in the event of an Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities, the issue of Iran’s willingness and ability to foment violence in Afghanistan and elsewhere has taken on added urgency.

With Iran’s motives and operational intentions a subject of intense interest, American officials have closely studied the episodes. A mixed picture of Iranian capabilities has emerged, according to interviews with more than a dozen officials across the government, most of whom discussed the risks on the condition of anonymity because their comments were based on intelligence reports.

Deadly blast shatters calm in Somali capital

MOGADISHU, Somalia (NY Times) — A bomb exploded during a ceremony on Wednesday at the newly reopened National Theater here in the Somali capital as the prime minister was addressing the guests, turning an event that had been a welcome sign of growing calm into a grisly reminder of the many troubles still plaguing the country.

Somalia’s Ministry of Information said that four people, including two prominent sports officials, were killed, though officials said the prime minister, Abdiweli Mohamed Ali, was unhurt. Several journalists and a lawmaker were wounded.

Somali officials and some witnesses said a female suicide bomber was responsible. But in a claim of responsibility, Somalia’s radical Islamist insurgent group, the Shabab, said its operatives had planted explosives at the theater in advance. “Everything was carefully planned and orchestrated,” the organization said in a Twitter message.

The blast came amid significant signs of improvement in the capital, Mogadishu, a rubble-filled city ravaged by 21 years of civil war.

Bass pushes back over push polling allegations

THE DAILY SUN, Thursday, April 5, 2012— Page 3

CONCORD — U.S. Rep. Charlie Bass is denying any wrongdoing in the face of state attorney general accusations that his campaign violated state law during the heated 2010 congressional race.

Bass defeated Democrat Annie Kuster in the race. The Attorney General’s Office said an email from Bass’ manager to the National Republican Congressional Committee shows that the campaign violated push polling laws.

“The campaign didn’t conduct a push poll,” Bass said.

“We know that. It was an issue-oriented call similar to

those conducted by any other campaign.”

The email expresses concerns about the campaign being connected to push polling and asked that the Bass Victory Committee identifier be removed from the end of a call that went out to 400 voters. Anne Edwards of the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office said that’s where the campaign made a mistake.

“If they had identified that they were behind the call, this wouldn’t be an issue,” Edwards said. “And they could have identified that they were involved in

a joint effort with the NRCC, but instead they chose to have their name removed from it.”

Bass said he will fight the charge as a matter of principle.

“I have not violated New Hampshire law,” he said.

“The courts will find that to be the case, and that will be the end of it.”

The complaint against Bass’ campaign is a civil, not criminal, charge.

Sen. Shaheen to talk robotics at Kennett today

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — An emergency vote on the payroll tax curtailed Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s planned visit to Kennett High School last month, but she’s rescheduled for this Thursday afternoon to visit with the Eagles to discuss the school’s robotics program.

Shaheen is scheduled to spend an hour at the school, beginning at 12:45 p.m., and may even try her hand at maneuvering one of the robots.

“I think it’s terrific that the senator was able to reschedule her visit with us,” Neal Moylan, principal at Kennett High, said. “We’re delighted to have Senator Shaheen take such an interest in what we’re doing.”

Moylan explained the itinerary for the visit. He and teacher Dan Mac Leon (FIRST team advisor) will escort Shaheen to the gymnasium at 12:45 p.m. where students, faculty and invited guests will be gathered.

“We’ll have our kids on hand and we’ve extended an invitation to the Josiah Bartlett Elementary School’s middle robotics school team and the Kennett Middle School’s robotics students, parents, community leader and some of Dan’s advisory group to be on hand,” Moylan said.

MWV FIRST is the brainchild of Mac Leon, who heads the computer technology department at Kennett High. He got the ball rolling this summer and found several people who shared his passion, and the dream of a robotics club became a reality last fall.

Mac Leon said a number of people within the community have contrib-

uted time and money to support robotics in the Mount Washington Valley, including: Dan and Judy Kennedy of Whitehorsegear.com; Jac Cuddy from the Mount Washington Valley Economic Council; Ron and Leeann Sandstrom from RLSand.com; Time Warner Cable; Vicky MacDougall; Sue Marjerison; Christine Thomson; Josh Purdy; Brant Sandborn; Kennett High School; the Mount Washington Valley Career and Technical Center; Paul Scribner Robotics Lab; and Peg Grondin of Snow Pond Design.

“MWV FIRST is all about getting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programing into the local school system K-12,” Mac Leon said.

MWV FIRST is a takeoff of New Hampshire inventor Dean Kamen’s FIRST — For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology — program.

Students from Kennett High, Josiah Bartlett Elementary School and Kennett Middle School have also started clubs under the MWV FIRST umbrella. Bill McKay is working with a team at Kennett Middle School while Jimi Emery has a similar team at Josiah Bartlett.

“The opportunity to connect with kids is so rewarding,” Mac Leon said.

At 1:37 p.m., Shaheen is expected to offer remarks about her STEM legislation, the importance of STEM education and how the FIRST robotics program is an important tool in educating students about the STEM subjects.

According to its website (mwvfirst. com), “Mount Washington Valley FIRST’s main focus is to provide an arena for students from K-12 to

become involved first-hand in the planning, designing, programming and the creation of their very own robot.

“Students, teachers and professional mentors work together to prepare small student groups for rewarding and exciting competition. Local, regional and national events end each year’s FIRST major challenges.

“These challenges help prepare students to understand the practical applications of their core curriculum: science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Record-keeping and documentation round out the necessary skills all groups will need to successfully compete.

“MIT’s credo of mens et manus — mind and hand — is what MWV FIRST is all about.”

Prior to Shaheen’s remarks, students will have an opportunity to

share their experience with FIRST and robotics competitions with the senator. A few students will get the chance to provide demonstrations of their robots. Shaheen will also have an opportunity to operate the robots at approximately 1:05 p.m.

At 1:33 p.m., Moylan will discuss Kennett High’s efforts to encourage students to study STEM subjects, including the development of their new FIRST team and other similar efforts, and how Shaheen’s STEM legislation could assist in funding future STEM-related activities. Shaheen will discuss her STEM legislation and how it could help schools like Kennett High School develop programs to encourage students to enter STEMrelated fields. She will also discuss the demonstrations from Kennett’s FIRST robotics team.

Another official unofficial committee of 17?

To the editor: Abolishing the official budget committee and replacing it with an advisory committee would effectively eliminate any financial check on budget requests sent to the voters and that would be an absolute travesty!

Conway’s Municipal Budget Committee was established in 1957 by the voters (318 to 148) when they adopted the provisions of the Municipal Budget Laws RSA Chapter 32.

The town charter adopted by the voters in 1989 confirms the existence of the budget committee its’ membership and role.

I reviewed the Basic Law of Budgeting for Towns, Villages and School Districts 2008, 2009 and 2010 editions. Sections 32:14 through 32:23 apply specifically to official budget committees, not an advisory financial/budget committee.

What I got out of that review was, the budget committee is an independent body to assist citizens/ voters/taxpayers in the prudent appropriation of their tax dollars by: • Reviewing and analyzing the various town and district expenditures.

• Keeping in mind the financial climate the taxpayers face while maintaining the tax burden within manageable proportions.

• Serving as an arbiter given the power to reconcile the various funding requests.

• Ensuring that more than one set of minds consider the issues prior to making good-faith recom-

mendations to the voters.

Paramount to the above process is the timely submission of detailed information to the budget committee that is sufficient to justify the appropriation request.

Assessing the funding needs vs. the wants of the various governing bodies is always a difficult task in the best of times. Couple that with declining revenues and income, increases in the cost of living and doing business and a stagnant economy, it becomes virtually impossible to please everyone.

Committee members should remember they were not elected to promote their own special interests but to serve all the citizens. (including the 50 percent of the property owners/ taxpayers that don’t live in Conway).

David Sordi hit the nail right on the head in his Feb. 24, 2012 letter to editor. He pointed out, by eliminating the budget committee’s authority there would be no check on the budgets the governing bodies send to the voters.

Just what Conway needs is another official unofficial committee of 17!

You know, necessity is the mother of invention.

Despite all the hype and school board’s prediction that last year’s budget could have a catastrophic effect on the operations of the district schools, they seemed to do pretty well plus they had a surplus!

Thanks teachers and staff; you made it work!

Stacy Sand will bring fresh energy, new perspective To the editor: As a long-time resident of Conway, co-owner of one major tourist attraction and general manager of another, the actions and activities of the government offices in Conway are closely monitored.

The make-up of the board of selectmen is important as they set the tone for the priorities of the limited resources, including tax funds, available to the community. And, while I like Bob Drinkhall as a person and I admire his energy and his commitment to serving the town, I believe he is the wrong person for the board of selectmen. have several We currently entrenched board members that are looking to the past, not the future, and I don’t want to see another one get added. We need leaders with a vision for the future of Conway and a willingness to listen to the business community and its residents.

Bob has a single focus to cut taxes, and, like the Tea Party in Washington, often loses sight of the real goal which should be to provide neces-

sary services in the most cost effective manner. Cutting $11 million from the school budget is not cost effective planning. Shutting off the street lights is not cost effective planning. His extreme views will not help Conway.

There are some major decisions facing our community in the next few years as we pull ourselves out of this lingering recession and we will need innovative thinkers and a board of selectmen who set goals beyond the next budget meeting.

Let’s go forward, not backwards in 2012. I believe Stacy Sand will bring much-needed fresh energy, a whole new way of looking at problems as opportunities and a real nice shake up to the current board of selectmen.

If you have not had a chance to read Stacy’s vision for Conway in The Conway Daily Sun I suggest you do so before Tuesday’s vote and compare her to the rest of the candidates. She gets it.

Grateful for vital, vibrant volunteer-focused community To the editor: On behalf of the Board of Directors of M&D Productions, Raetha Stoddard, Ken Martin and myself, we thank all the volunteers for attending the Volunteer Appreciation Day Party on March 29 at “YourTheatre” in North Conway. Your overwhelming response illustrates an enthusiasm for establishing relationships and partnerships to help this award winning community–based theatre thrive.

The general tone of the evening was one of pure gratitude. This event proved that we have a vital, vibrant volunteer-focused community. Despite everyone’s busy lives, volunteers make the time to help out their valley neighbors.Thanks to Flat Bread Pizza who (out of the blue) donated coupons to the cause “because we believe in what M&D Productions stands for and appreciate all you do for this community.”

That gesture was heartwarming to know that others see all the hard work that everyone is putting into this theater (Your Theatre) and that it is appreciated.

Thanks to Raetha Stoddard (special events coordinator), Karen Gustafson (volunteer chair), and all the others of whom there are far too many to mention, who helped pro-

mote and organize this event on short notice. Thanks to the three musicians (Peter Hiemlich, Natalie Hebren, and Cindy) who donated their talent and time for such a worthy cause. Your music was wonderful.

But most of all I want to thank everyone who was there both physically and in spirit. Each person walked away with some excellent news, several gifts, and a new found motivation for volunteering. We shared great news about the new coffee shop opening in May and a few other new ventures.

In closing, if anyone would like to volunteer at M&D, then please go to this link and sign up w w w. v o l u n t e e r s p o t . c o m / c l i e n t . html#activity?id=232668 or go to our Facebook page and join there.

I am so excited to share all the new events that M&D Productions has planned, and the response of the community to the new ventures. Needless to say, I am humbled with the huge growth in grassroots involvement that all of you are part of and can enjoy on a daily basis here only at M&D Productions.

Is this a grammatical counterpart to ‘New Math?’

To the editor: Recently, I was listening to the new morning radio talk show guy trying to drive me crazy with his apparent congenital inability to combine the correct verb person with the noun(s) in question, e.g., “there’s lots of ways to ...”.

Then his guest, Senator Kelly Ayotte,

joined in the conversation with words, “There’s four considerations we must address...”!

Have I missed an English class or two, or is this a grammatical counterpart to “New Math”?

Sous chef is vital to the success, safety of students To the editor: I am writing to express my concern about the possibility of the Mineral Spring Cafe running without a sous chef in future years. I understand the role a budget must play in making staffing decisions, but I believe this cut will have lasting negative effects and put your students in harm’s way.

Having worked in the food industry for almost 30 years, many of which were as an executive chef, I have enough experience to know how delicate the balance is in order to operate a kitchen and staff safely and efficiently. It is my belief that eliminating the sous chef position would not only put the safety of its students in question, but it would most definitely compromise the integrity of the food and experience of your diners. When considering the fact that this establishment is run primarily by students, my concern grows exponentially. What is of the utmost importance is maintaining a safe environment for the students. If one person is going to be in charge of the instruction, ordering, prepping, overseeing the students, storing food, inventory, maintaining health and safety standards, etc, it stands to reason that eventually something will have to give. The students should never be put in this equation. The liability implicated in this situation is undeniable. Working

with adults and being short staffed is one thing, but working with students and being short staffed is nothing but negligent, any way you look at it.

I implore you to yield to your good senses and figure out a solution to this potentially dangerous situation.

Perhaps by opening the cafe one or two additional days per week, the cafe could not only continue its role as a teaching lab, but it could generate enough money to support the salary of the second instructor. This could easily be accomplished by increasing hours of operation and bringing in a stronger marketing point/program to draw in patrons.

Please consider changing how you fund your program in order to support your existing position of sous chef, instead of eliminating this extremely important and necessary position.

The sous chef position is such a vital position. I believe without it you will not be able to function safely or fluidly and potentially lose your client base, and thus your culinary program altogether. I do not make this prediction lightly. I feel strongly that the position of sous chef is vital to the success of this restaurant and to the safety of your students.

Responsible management outvoted by special To the editor: In a recent letter I talked about how responsible management and pragmatism are routinely outvoted by special interests. Nowhere is this more evident than when we look at the Conway School Board — by far the most irresponsible Bureau of Municipal Thieves, disciples of deceptive drivel dictating what they consider qualifies as “superior education,” demanding a ravenous appetite which consumes two thirds of your tax bill.

Consider these: Fictitious propaganda and make-work programs and positions like hall monitors, student advocates and a sous chef.

Fancy sports venues and programs employing multiple coaches, even a cheerleader coach! Expansive and expensive “special education” programs and “special ed.” aids. Psychologists, tiny classes and free meals.

Proposed full-day kindergarten and pre-school. Inefficient, underutilized venues, etc., etc. It’s amazing how many gullible “sheeple” fall for this hogwash which should be vetted, volunteer-provided or subject to user fees, not taxpayers! And more taxpayer mother lode-financed nonsensical programs and positions are consistently added.

So what has this “superior education” program purchased? The exact opposite in almost every category. Lies, deception and escalating costs as the student population decreases. Recall their taking credit for a reduced dropout rate when it was a foolish Democrat Legislature which mandated attendance to age 18. This resulted in further

expansion of “special ed” in order to cope with the (mature) disruptive and disinterested. Compare public school “graduates” with the superior results of (often) less costly private schools, and not a sous chef in the mix.

The latest ruse is a veiled additional concern for “the children”.

Despite existing guidelines, reducing a teaching team has become a major controversy. Let “the voters” decide! This relieves them of responsibility, allows their government employment agency to prevail and maintains the illusion of taxpayer empathy.

The point is that around 17 percent of “the voters” determine 100 percent of your quality of life and how much of your money you are “allowed.” Incredibly, they then have the temerity to lay a guilt trip on you for protecting your livelihood. Not of rich tycoons, but overwhelmingly that of retired people and multiple job holders in a tourist driven economy! Consequently, it’s certainly not “the voters” who make the decisions, it’s indisputably “their voters!” — “Schoolies,” municipal workers, union thugs, freeloaders and others with a direct interest and/or paycheck.

So, those of you too busy to be bothered, too apathetic, too “not into politics,” too whatever should be mindful as you make excuses for not voting, and later complain of the results while vacuuming your bank account to pay punishing tribute to the government and (their) parasitic “voters.”

Behind the headlines on defeat of gay marriage bill

I am sure that all of you have seen the headlines, Gay Marriage Bill defeated in the New Hampshire House or headlines to that effect. Now I would like to tell you the rest of the story as to how the House got there. We debated the issue for approximately two and a half hours and it was often intense as well as very moving.

HB 437 as it was originally introduced eliminated gay marriage as well as civil unions. The bill was introduced in the House on Jan 6, 2011 and referred to the Judiciary Committee. A public hearing on the bill occurred on Feb 17, 2011. An executive session of the Judiciary Committee was held on March 3, 2011 and the committee decided to retain the bill so they could work on an amendment over the summer.

On November 2, 2011 the committee voted ought to pass with amendment 11 in favor and 6 opposed. Between November 2, 2011 and March 21, 2012 several members of the house worked on amendments. When the bill came to the floor for a vote there was the amendment proposed by the Judiciary Committee along with three floor amendments. Any representative or group of representatives can submit floor amendments and they are considered as all bills are open to amendment prior to the final vote on the bill. I should point out that committee and floor amendments are available online under House Journal. If you are interested in seeing the various amendments you can go to the general court web site: www.gencourt.state.nh.us.

The committee amendment was introduced and debated the vote by roll call on the amendment was 82 in favor and 266 opposed. Following the defeat of the committee amendment, Rep Bates introduced an amendment. This amendment, in addition to establishing civil unions, called for a non-binding referendum to be on the November ballot. A member rose and asked if the question (the amendment) could be divided. The Speaker ruled that Section 6 (which was the non-binding referendum portion) of the amendment could be divided which means it would be voted on separately, if the House agreed to divide the amendment. A division vote was taken on whether or not to divide the question and the vote was 173 in favor and 179 opposed. The measure failed. A member then rose and asked for reconsideration of the vote we had just taken. The reconsideration motion failed 128 in favor and 222 opposed. So now we were back to the entire amendment. A vote was taken on the amendment as a whole with 162 in favor and 188 opposed. The amendment failed. A motion was then made to lay the bill on the

table. On a roll call vote there were 82 in favor and 263 opposed. The speaker then opened up the bill to further amendment.

Another amendment, titled Marriages prohibited; Men, Women, Left handed people was introduced. A member rose to object that the amendment was frivolous which you can do according to Mason’s Rules which govern the conduct of the House. Obviously the person who prepared the floor amendment was not happy but we voted the amendment was frivolous 286 in favor and 52 opposed.

The Speaker had previously ruled a floor amendment could not be introduced because of House rule 35(e). Which basically states that in the second year session no amendment can be introduced that was retained in committee for action, voted in- expedient to legislate, indefinitely postponed etc. during the first year of the session. The person objected to the decision of the Speaker so a vote was taken to override the Speaker’s decision. The Speaker’s decision was upheld 286 in favor and 52 opposed. A motion was made later to suspend the rules so the amendment could be introduced. This motion required a two-thirds vote of the House. There were 62 in favor and 277 opposed. So the amendment was not allowed to be introduced. At this point the House only had the underlying bill to vote on which did away with both gay marriage and civil unions since no amendment had passed. A member rose and asked for reconsideration of the Judiciary Committee amendment, the one we started with.

The vote was 144 in favor of reconsideration and 193 opposed the motion failed.

At this point, with no amendments having been passed by the House, the action on HB 437 was ought to pass. The vote was 133 in favor and 202 opposed.

The bill was defeated. Now a member rose and moved HB 437 as inexpedient to legislate and the vote was 211 in favor and 116 opposed. Just to make sure the bill did not come up again a reconsideration motion was made and the motion failed 87 in favor and 211 opposed.

I hope I have given you the flavor of what occurred with HB 437. It was not just a single vote on the bill. We deliberated over each amendment and everyone took their vote on each amendment and on the final bill very seriously.

Obvious choice to get country back on track To the editor: The jobs report that was released Friday, March 9, showed a third month of good job growth with the response from economists being guardedly optimistic. Does this mean we are out of the recession, no, not by a long shot, but it is the third month of solid progress. Yet instantly the Republicans jumped on this growth as inadequate and blamed President Obama for failure to get us out of this recession quicker.

This is simply more of the same intentionally deceptive language that the Republicans in Congress and the presidential candidates have been spouting for three years now. It is a transparent effort to shift the blame to Obama from where it squarely lies — on the shoulders of Bush/ Cheney and the Republicans who aided and abed them.

Let’s look at the facts.

Obama came into office having been handed the worst recession since the 1930s by the Republicans who ran Washington and the Federal government for eight years. Bush and Cheney, aided by a willing and complicit Republican dominated Congress squandered a budget surplus leftover from the Clinton Administration, gave huge tax cuts to the super wealthy, started a totally unnecessary war which they never paid for, presided over some of the worst job growth since the great depression, created a massive Federal deficit, and sat on the sidelines while their allies in the financial industry helped drive our economy into a ditch. And now they hope America

forgets by blaming it all on Obama. Their strategy is an old one, lie and mislead enough and hope the people start to believe you.

I don’t agree with everything Obama has done in his three years in office but he has had to deal with extremely difficult issues along with the transparent efforts of the Republicans to destabilize our government and bring gridlock to Washington. On balance Obama has done as well or better than we could expect.

While Obama may not have been perfect in trying to deal with our crippled economy he has made slow, steady progress.

Sure we would all like the rebound to be more robust and faster but you simply don’t turn around eight years of gross ( Read Republican) mismanagement overnight. And I challenge you to name one thing, one positive thing; the Republicans have done in the past three years to help dig us out of the hole they created?

So we have a choice in November of the people we want to lead us out of these economic doldrums. We can choose the people who have tried, with some success, for the past three years, to get us out of this depression, or the people who put us there in the first place.

Your choices to get this country back on track: Barack Obama and Joe Biden or Herman Cain, Michelle Bachman, Rush Limbaugh, Ron Paul, Rick Santorum, John Boehner, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, and the Tea party.

Pretty easy choice!

Warning from Goldwater appropriate today To the editor: I just ran into this quote from Senator Barry Goldwater, it seems very appropriate today.

“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the Republican Party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won’t

compromise. I know, I’ve tried to deal with them.”

Is it strange to think that preachers in Canada and the United Kingdom who use hate speech based on their Biblical interpretation against homosexuals can actually ... get this ... be prosecuted for hate speech! The separation of Church and State is under intense attack right now by the very groups Senator Goldwater warned us about.

KINDERGARTEN from page one

interview last week. “Those are students who come around with significant issues around literacy and numeracy. This is the third year we’ve had it.

Why do we do that? There are three main reasons,” he continued. “The first was that many of our K students have historically come to kindergarten with significant deficits. I think that almost everyone knows that nationally as well as locally expectations for academic performance has changed.

People expect higher expectations for academic performance now, there’s more expected. You know 15 to 20 years ago kindergarten was more structured play and that kind of thing, but now it’s changed.

The third thing is that research has shown that students can meet those expectations so we’ve learned that given the right kind of instruction students in kindergarten you can really give them quite a foundation in literacy and numeracy.”

Patricia Poulin and Kathleen Carrier are the kindergarten teachers at Conway El. with Poulin doing the core teaching while Carrier is the interventionist.

“I’m considered the core so I teach the curriculum whole group to everybody two and a half hours a day,” Poulin said. “It’s the same drill every day, two and a half hours all the kids get the same instruction. It’s just an introduction but we want mastery because it’s the 21st century and we’d like to make sure kids get a leg up and be ready to learn in the first grade.”

You have to be 5 by the end of September to enroll in kindergarten at Conway El. Hastings said the intervention program came into being three years ago through the redistribution of Title I funds.

“Three years ago we knew we had to do something different because our students were doing OK, but as academic expectations increased, and we were doing everything but stand on our heads, we sort of knew we had to think out of the box,” he said.

Over 50 percent of the student population is on the federally-funded free- and reduced-lunch program at Conway El. “Because of our high free and reduced lunch numbers, we have grant funding for Title I,” Hastings explained. “Title I funding is basically targeted to economically needy schools. We said okay, we’re going to shift Title I funding, some of it, from kindergarten through sixth grade down to kindergarten so we took some, not all, of the dollars and we’re going to put our programing more toward primary focus.

We had the money to create what we call the Kindergarten Interventions Program. That’s how we funded it.”

There are 39 students attending kindergarten at Conway Elementary School. Hastings said about 70 percent of the students are currently in fullday intervention kindergarten, which is down from about 78 percent last year.

Poulin has 20 students in her morning class and 19 in the afternoon session. Carrier takes 11 students in the morning, and those 11 students come to Poulin in the afternoon. Carrier also has 11 students in the afternoon to provide intervention to.

“It’s contingency thing,” Poulin explained. “If the child is not making the gains we’d like to see, then they can be invited to our full day, but that’s based on criteria, which is testing.”

“The kindergarten we have is based on economics more than anything else,” she added. “Educational equity and excellence is not the major point, it is all about economics and I think the time had come (for all-day kindergarten). Sixty-three percent of the United States has full-day K and we only offer it in New Hampshire, it’s not required. It’s required that you have it in your town, but it’s not required for kids to come until you’re 6 years old.”

Kindergarten is typically a 9 a.m. to noon program and 12:30 to 3:30 p.m.

“You can’t get a huge amount of academic done in that (three hour) time frame,” Hastings said. “If you go to full-day kindergarten, instead of doubling your educational time it actually triples it. You want to expose the kids to art, music and physical eduction, those are specials. Those specials occur if it’s half day within that half day. That full-day K kid is still going to get those specials but it’s going to leave more academic time.

“The other thing we’ve gotten better at is assessing the needs of our students,” he continued. “Conway El. is very effective now at assessing the academic needs of its students — that’s K-6. We have an excellent handle now on data in terms of where a particular student might have deficiencies in any one of the many literacy or math areas or it might be social deficiencies or other. Along the way we’ve gotten much better at ongoing assessment. In the old days you would assess a student a couple times a year.

Now, we have a very good way of quickly assessing kids on a regular basis and giving the kids the intervention right now like over an eight-week period — it’s excellent.”

Early detection is a key ingredient to the program.

“Truly if a kid is assessed and their depth of

understanding vocabulary is an issue, we can immediately respond by putting a kid in a vocabulary intervention and really gear to that instruction for half an hour a day in kindergarten,” Hastings said.

“Then they can get back. In the old days, assessments were not ongoing. It’s sort of an immediate response and takes care of any issues immediately.

We have very good test scores now because we’re very good at the sort of the dipstick assessment. You don’t have to take an hour or half hour test to see there’s a vocabulary or a numeracy deficiency. We can actually do it in like three minutes. If you have a son or daughter here, and we find a need, we’re going to put them in an intervention for a short period of time and basically take care of that need immediately. In the old days, it was like, ‘We know there’s a need, we’re working on it, and yadda yadda yadda.’ Not anymore. That’s the crux of why we have a strong school because of our strong core instruction, our assessment of kids’ needs and the way we intervene immediately academically to take care of the students needs.”

All of the students get core instruction — that’s classroom instruction by the teacher — then they get divided up into intervention groups depending on their needs, if there are any.

“In the old days if you were a kid that needed intervention you were pulled out of the core,” Hastings explained. “You’d be missing core for your intervention; not a good idea. Now, you’re getting all of the core like everyone else and then you’re getting specific. It’s like the hockey player who’s at the regular practice but can’t shoot the puck very well. We have an intervention designed for that particular small group of kids who can’t shoot the puck very well.”

Hastings has seen the benefits of full-day kindergarten within his building.

“What we found in three years, we have some interesting data,” he said. “It definitely does increase readiness for first grade. Kids now going into first grade at Conway El. are reading, all of them are. Fifteen to 20 years ago that wasn’t happening, it wasn’t possible. They’re pretty much ready to go and we’ve gone from five years ago where we were at 24 kids requiring special education services to 14 percent today. It was 24 percent for years, a quarter of our kids at Conway El. were being coded.

“I think it’s directly related to good core instruction, good assessment and interventions,” Hastings added. “The staff have worked their fannies off. I see KINDERGARTEN page 15

MEET THE CANDIDATES

Five candidates for two school board seats

Randy Davison Incumbent Randy Davison is one of five candidates vying for the two open seats on the Conway School Board. Also running are fellow incumbent Syndi White, Ben Kane, Bill Masters and Kelley Murphy.

The following is Davison’s candidate profile: • Tell us a little about yourself.

“My wife, Therese, and I settled in Conway 20 years ago. We have both dedicated our lives to teaching. I am a teacher at New Suncook Elementary in Lovell, Maine and have been in the teaching profession for 28 years. I hold masters degrees in school administration and special education. I am currently completing my sixth year on the Conway School Board.

Prior to serving on the school board, I was on the Conway Municipal Budget Committee for five years. Community involvement has always been a part of our family values.”

• Why are you running?

“My background as an educator and my experience in town government has helped prepare me to serve our community in this capacity. As a board member, I will continue to ask the tough questions when analyzing ongoing and proposed programs in addition to responding to community concerns that are aired to me. I have brought, and think I can continue to bring, fresh viewpoints that allow us to identify where reorganization can provide the same services while conserving resources. During the last six years on the school board I feel I have a good handle on the financial aspects of the school budget and what funds are needed in order to run quality programs. We need to provide the best education possible for students while being fiscally responsee DAVISON page 11

Balancing the two.”

• Do you have any goals

I want to spend time in the classrooms and talk with the

Kelley Murphy is one of five candidates vying for the two open seats on the Conway School Board. Also running are incumbents Randy Davison and Syndi White, Ben Kane and Bill Masters.

The following is Murphy’s candidate profile: • Tell us a little about yourself...

“I live in Kearsarge with my husband Pat and our children, ages 1-20. I am a graduate of Kennett High School and the Conway School District. After graduation from Stonehill College I returned to Mount Washington Valley to teach at Kennett Middle School. After 10 years at the middle school I left to focus on my family.”

I am currently president of the John Fuller PTA and the Kennett High School PTSA. I am also very active with Mount Washington Valley Youth Hockey and the Kennett High School hockey team.”

• Have you served on any town or school committees in the past?

“Yes. I was appointed to the Conway School Board in August of 2008. I was then elected by the voters to the Conway School Board in April of 2009. I held the position of vice chair of the Conway School Board from April 2009 until I stepped down from the board in July of 2010.”

The following is White’s candidate profile: • Tell us a little about yourself...

“I live in North Conway with my husband John and our three children. My oldest son is a Kennett High grad and sophomore at Keene State College and my other son and daughter are currently attending Conway public schools.

sible, especially in the current economic climate. I do believe that academic scores need to show sound results if taxpayers are asked to support the school budget. It is also essential to hire and retain highly qualified staff in order to ensure a solid academic foundation. Lastly, I firmly believe that my knowledge from serving on the board and following through with the commitment that is necessary in being a board member speaks for itself.”

• What do you see as the role of school board members? What should a board members’ top three priorities be, in your opinion?

“I believe that it is the board’s responsibility to act on behalf of the community it serves. First, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the students. It is also our role to be good listeners.

Diverse views and opinions from our truly invested community members need to be considered so we can carefully craft policies. I also believe that it is the Board’s responsibility to plan and prepare an affordable budget to run its schools. A school board needs to provide educational programs which allow students to succeed when entering the work force, trade school, military or college. We need to provide programming that allows students to choose and succeed at their chosen endeavors.

The three top priorities that face any school board are setting insightful, educational policy, planning and preparing an affordable budget, and providing educational programs that meet the needs of all students.”

• What skills do you feel you bring to the position?

“My vast experience in the education field, my business experience, and my ability to question how an issue impacts diverse groups will continue to provide clarity and additional perspective as I serve our community. I see myself as the historian on the present board. I am insightful and am not shy in asking the tough questions that are necessary. I am currently the longest serving member on the present board.”

• What do you see as the biggest positive in the Conway School District?

“The Conway school system provides programs that allow a vast number of students to participate and succeed if they choose to take advantage of these

you’d like to see the school board attain over the course of your term?

“Though I do not have any quantifiable goals, I would like to explore what could be done to increase the academic standards across the district.”

• What do you see as the biggest positive in the Conway School District?

“The largest positive attribute of the Conway School District is the district staff and family/community involvement.”

• The biggest negative?

“The largest negative about the district is the negative discourse that has been taking place regarding differing opinions of how the schools should be administered. Differing opinions are both natural and necessary in the practice of democracy. Understanding that the members of the school and municipal boards are not professional politicians, I feel personal attacks made on individuals are unnecessary and are a detriment to the democratic process.”

• Do you support the warrant article for full-day kindergarten? Why or why not?

“I support all-day kindergarten because having all-day kindergarten would level the playing field, in terms of educational experience, between the Conway School District and the Bartlett and Jackson schools. Also, with full-day kindergarten the time of instruction would be increased to a more desirable level. Currently, when specials and other activities such as snack and recess are accounted into the school

opportunities. I also think we have dedicated and caring teachers who invest a tremendous amount of professional and personal energy to help students.

The students do not exist to support the system; the system exists to support the students. The community support that exists throughout SAU 9 is vast and speaks for itself.”

• The biggest negative?

“The school board needs to continue to work as a team with invested members who remain committed as we work out collaborative solutions for tough problems and valid concerns. A balanced school board is needed in order to provide perspective and broad-based solutions on issues that develop. I think it would be a negative if the board came to consist of too many people with the same points of view. Our present board represents a very good cross-section of our community with committed members.”

• Do you have any goals you’d like to see the school board attain over the course of your term?

“I am interested in continued conversations with SAU 13 towns about the idea of consolidating with SAU 9. The recent vote to rejoin SAU 9 speaks for itself. This could be a wonderful opportunity to unite our community and would benefit everyone in terms of fiscal savings and efficiency. Careful attention will need to be paid to a lot of details to insure a positive outcome.

“I would offer my skills by serving on a committee that looks at reviewing K-8 education in the Conway School District. I can help in looking at finding additional cost-effective, common-sense solutions that will work without compromising the standards of education. I also see the need to anticipate the impact of current trends on future programming.

We have a decreasing population. We need to offer diverse, quality programs and yet we cannot allow exorbitant per-pupil costs. My experience and education will be assets as the board examines and moves on these ongoing concerns.

“I am also interested in offering different kinds of diplomas. Our current graduation requirements are well beyond state requirements and may not be in the best interest of all students. We need to acknowledge the fact that some students’ desires are to earn a basic high school diploma that is sufficient for entering some areas of the work force or to join the armed forces. We can also offer something along the

day for kindergartners, there is very little time left for instruction.”

• Will you be supporting the proposed 2012-13 school budget or the default school budget (roughly $56,000 less)?

“I support the proposed budget.”

• Do you support transforming the budget committee from statutory to advisory? Why or why not?

“I support the change in status of the budget committee. I believe that the budget committee should make recommendations in regard to proposed changes to the budget. I have faith in the voters that if the proposed school budget is in excess of what is reasonable, that they will amend it at the deliberative session and/or vote it down in favor of the default budget at the polls..”

• School officials went to court this year to fight the release of embarrassing documents about a school board member. Did the school board handle that incident appropriately? If no, how would you have handled it differently?

“I think the school board handled the incident as well as they could considering the circumstances. I believe that the accountability for this situation should be placed upon the individual who was at the center of this issue. Had I been in the position of the member that these documents were written about, I would have held myself accountable for my actions. It is not fair to the rest of the board, the district, or the taxpayers to have to use town funds in the course of resolving a situation such as this.”

lines of an International Baccalaureate program that provides an advanced diploma for students seeking acceptance to colleges and universities. We also need to help parents who find our system difficult to understand and maneuver.”

• Do you support the warrant article for full-day kindergarten?

“At the present time I cannot support full-day kindergarten. I support the concept of offering fullday kindergarten, but I do not support the warrant article as written. Additional work needs to happen in order for this to be put into place. The figures presented to support the program do not match the requested need. I do believe that it would be in the district’s best interest to move forward in researching what it would take to bring the out-of-district placed students back in district. I also don’t believe that it should be required for all children. Families need to be able to make that decision for themselves.

This being one rationale as to why the state of New Hampshire does not mandate full-day kindergarten.”

• Will you be supporting the proposed 2012-2013 school budget or the default budget (roughly $56,000 less)?

“As a board member, I support the proposed budget. I feel that the school board, with the support of the municipal budget committee, has presented a responsible budget for the community to work within for the next school year.”

• Do you support transforming the budget committee from statutory to advisory?

“I believe that the budget committee serves an important role in the community and needs to remain intact as it is. All aspects of government needs a checks and balance mechanism, and the make-up of this committee serves such purpose.”

• School officials went to court this year to fight the release of embarrassing documents about a school board member. Did the school board handle that incident appropriately? If no, how would you have handled it differently?

“I can state that board members are not lawyers and that the board acted on the advice of the district’s legal counsel. The board did handle the incident appropriately due to the fact that it followed the advice of the legal counsel. Was the advice good advice? That is another issue all together.”

teachers and support staff with the emphasis on the elementary (K-8).”

• What skills do you feel you bring to the position?

“Years of managerial and field experience in both the public and private sectors evaluating the effectiveness of organizational behaviors and policies, including operational programs and budget planning. In addition, I would like to think I bring a systematic common-sense approach to problem solving.”

• What do you see as the role of school board members?

“School Board members serve as the executive and administrative arm of the town of Conway School District and are responsible for carrying out the duties conferred on it by law.”

• What should a board member’s top three priorities be, in your opinion?

“In my opinion, the top three priorities should be: 1. Review the policies in place to ensure they support an educational process and environment that provides an opportunity for students to work up to their full potential.

2. Review and establish program priorities that place a greater emphasis on our primary education system. 3. Review all services to ensure they are cost effective and produce the desired outcomes. Conway School District is a $32,000,000 plus/minus business whose finished product is a well educated (proficient) student body.”

• Do you have any goals you’d like to see the school board attain over the course of your term?

“To stop the policy of promoting students who are not proficient in one or more subjects from a lower level to a higher level providing the student’s aptitude testing indicates he or she has the ability to master the subject matter, especially at the elementary level. In my opinion, the elementary system is the backbone for further learning.”

• What do you see as the biggest positive in the Conway School District?

“The positive side is the dedication of the principals, teachers and staff toward their students which I observed when I visited the classes at Conway Elementary and Kennett Middle School. Also, the new high school and the renovated middle school, in my opinion, presents an environment that is conducive to learning.”

• The biggest negative?

“The biggest negative is the policy of promoting students from one grade see MASTERS page 14

day returning to the classroom. However, as our family has grown and the demands of my husband’s career have increased it would not be fair to my family or a classroom of students for me to return. I could not give both parties the time and attention they deserve to excel and achieve. I have re-evaluated how best to contribute to the students of Mount Washington Valley. Returning to the Conway School Board would allow me to contribute to our educational system and devote the time and energy that a large family needs. I am very fortunate to have worn many hats for the Conway School District and believe this experience is a great asset in a candidate. I have had the opportunity to be a student, an educator, a parent and a leader for the Conway School District. I have a lot of history within the district and look forward to bringing this perspective back to the Board.”

• What skills do you feel you bring to the position?

“I will not take on a project unless I can give it 110 percent. I have a lot of energy and passion for the students and families of Mount Washington Valley; you will usually find them at the focus of all projects and

events I take on. As part of a large family rooted in the Mount Washington Valley I know a lot of people and am out and about on a regular basis connecting with families and community members. Whether it be at pick up or drop off in our schools, on the lacrosse and soccer fields, in the ice arena, the grocery store, the pediatrician’s office or grabbing a cup of coffee, I enjoy running around town and thrive on the chaos created by our busy schedule.”

• What do you see as the role of school board members?

“School board members are elected officials who represent the voters.

As school board members, we must be responsive to the values, beliefs and priorities of our community. It is the responsibility of board members to keep the focus on learning and achievement for all students.”

• What should a board member’s top three priorities be, in your opinion?

“In my opinion, the top three priorities of a board member are the students, staff and the community.”

• Do you have any goals you’d like to see the school board attain over the course of your term?

“I would like for the community to see school board members as community leaders. There is so much more to the role of a board member than what

• What do you see as the biggest positive in the Conway School District?

“The students and staff are our biggest assets in the Conway School District. Spend a day in any of our classrooms at any level and you will be blown away at what is accomplished.”

• The biggest negative?

“The biggest negative in the Conway School District, as seen across the state and nation as well, is the emphasis at the federal level on test scores. We have made huge strides in math and reading in recent years but it is never quite enough as the bar continues to rise each year. Often the numbers take away from the accomplishments of the individual student.”

• Do you support the warrant article for full-day kindergarten? Why or why not?

“I strongly support full-day kindergarten. The earlier we can begin working with our youngest learners the stronger the student they can become. For many years we have worked with the sending towns to insure that our students are on track for successful transition at the middle and high school levels, academically and socially. Yet, we have not paid the same due diligence at the first-grade level. Our first graders are coming to us with varied educational backgrounds within the three Conway elementary schools. Many parents are taking advantage of options outside of our Conway District elementary schools and enrolling their students in private facilities which offer a full-day program. I would love to see full-day kindergarten in the Conway School District providing the same opportunities for all students within SAU 9. “ • Will you be supporting the proposed 2012-13 school budget or

as Conway’s representative to the N.H. School Board Association.”

• How long have you been a resident of Conway?

“Nine years.”

• Why are you running?

“I am running for re-election because I believe our town needs a strong advocate for children and families, one who understands the importance of providing an excellent public education while keeping property taxes low. I feel that I have stepped up to the challenges of working on a diverse board and have made many positive contributions during my term. The next few years will be pivotal in the history of Conway schools, as we face declining enrollment and potential restructuring of our grade levels. We need to keep pace with improving instruction, curriculum and technology to meet the demands of providing a 21st-century education. I would like the opportunity to continue to work toward these goals.”

• What skills do you feel you bring to the position?

“1. Financial management and budget development; 2. negotiation and mediation skills; 3. effective communication skills; 4. extensive knowledge of special education, curriculum development, staff development; 5. the ability to research current trends

the default school budget (roughly $56,000 less)?

“I will be supporting the proposed 2012-13 school budget.”

• Do you support transforming the budget committee from statutory to advisory? Why or why not?

“I commend the progress which has been made in the last year between the Conway Budget Committee and the Conway School Board. Unfortunately, communication has not always been amicable among the two parties in recent years. I would like to see the work of the selectmen and the Conway School Board members move forward to the voters allowing the citizens to speak by voting on the work of their elected officials. I support returning the budget committee to an advisory board.”

• School officials went to court this year to fight the release of embarrassing documents about a school board member. Did the school board handle that incident appropriately? If no, how would you have handled it differently?

“It can be very easy when sitting on the outside of an organization to speculate and cast judgment on the actions of the group. Without the opportunity to participate in all conversations and communications it is not our call to make. That being said, I would like the opportunity to move the board forward and build on the trust the community should have in its elected officials. Every opportunity can be used as a learning tool to move an organization forward.”

• Any final thoughts?

“I look forward to seeing all the individuals and families of the Conway area turn out to the polls on Tuesday, April 10. Your voice counts! It is your chance to speak regarding the educational future of the children of Mount Washington Valley.”

and best practices in the field and to develop new programs.”

• What do you see as the role of school board members?

“First and foremost, our ultimate responsibility is to the students of this district and their education.

The school board members develop policy, develop a vision for the district, engage the community in the decision making process. We have a responsibility to continually focus on performance, and accountability. We also have a responsibility to the taxpayers to run an efficient and productive school system that gets results.”

• What should a board member’s top three priorities be, in your opinion?

“Advocate for students and excellence in education, continually reassess the needs of the district, develop budgets which do not significantly impact property taxes, yet provide the ability for the schools to operate effectively and efficiently.”

• Do you have any goals you’d like to see the school board attain over the course of your term?

“1. I would like to see the school board do a thorough investigation of the pros and cons of closing an elementary school and then bring the information to the voters. I believe the public must be well-informed and the school board needs to work in partnersee WHITE page 13

THE DAILY SUN, Thursday, April 5, 2012— Page 13

WHITE from page 12

ship with the community in making monumental decisions such as closing a school.

“2. The district does not have a program for gifted and talented students. I would like to see a focus on providing more challenging curriculum and educational opportunities for advancement throughout the system, especially at the middle school level.

“3. I would like to see the school board direct the superintendent to take a different approach to budget development. Currently, he directs the administrators to cut a percentage evenly across schools. Budget decisions should be based on the needs of the district, not “fairness” in distributing the money/or cuts equally among administrators.

There may be an opportunity to make major cuts in one budget or a need to add to another.

“4. The high school is top heavy in administration.

Whenever cuts are made, it seems to be done at the instructional level. I would like the school board to research administration models and streamline the current structure and consolidate job responsibilities.

“5. I would like to see entry-level teacher salaries rise to a level that nears the state average. We need to be able to recruit and retain quality educators in order to provide quality education to our students.

Teachers need to make a living wage and be able support their families.

“6. Restructure the middle school to include 6th8th grades.”

• What do you see as the biggest positive in the Conway School District?

“The students, parents, teachers, principals and staff are the biggest positive factors in the district.

Without people who care about children and their education, a school system cannot succeed. With the support of our community, offer an enriching environment with diverse opportunity for development and achievement across a wide range of educational disciplines and co-curricular activities.”

• The biggest negative?

“I think the biggest negative is the budget process.

In my opinion, the Board needs to start with a clear vision of what is needed, not just for the next year, but down the road. They need to then develop a plan of how to implement that vision. Before the administration starts to develop their budgets, the board should outline major items that need to be changed, added or cut in each department. The addition or deletion of programs should be completed at the board level, which should then direct the superintendent to bring forth budgets which reflect these directions. Since there are widely differing opinions among board members, it is important that votes are taken to reflect the majority opinion of the Board at the beginning of the budget process, in order to avoid confusion as to the direction the board is taking.”

• Do you support the warrant article for full-day kindergarten? Why or why not?

“I support full-day kindergarten because the research supports it. Kids who have been in fullday programs show better creative problem-solving skills, social competence and most importantly stronger literacy and language skills. In order to strengthen our K-12 program, the focus needs to start in early childhood education. Strong early literacy development is the key to higher SAT scores, the ability to take advanced placement courses and success in high school. Currently, our outdated half-day model is putting our children at a disadvantage. Full-day kindergarten would allow time to implement a rich learning environment with direct instruction, meeting the needs of every child. It would help prevent children from falling between the cracks and reduce the need for remedial services.

“We currently pay $40,000 tuition per child to out-of-district placements for children with special needs that require a full-day kindergarten model.

This year we had four kids in private placement for a total of $160,000. By providing a full-day kindergarten in each of our elementary schools, we strengthen our special education program by increasing our ability to include all children at the kindergarten level. While it is difficult to pinpoint the exact cost/ savings of implementing full-day K because of the uncertainty of special ed costs (we cannot predict if new children will move into the district), it is with

certainty that a full-day kindergarten program will benefit all children in Conway.”

• Will you be supporting the proposed 2012-13 school budget or the default school budget (roughly $56,000 less)?

“I voted for the proposed budget because it was significantly less than the 2011-2012 proposed budget.

A lot of work went into producing this budget, and I feel the board worked hard to keep costs in check.”

• Do you support transforming the budget committee from statutory to advisory? Why or why not?

“Over the past few years we have seen the budget committee try to micro-manage all departments in town. They have been increasingly disrespectful to other boards and members of the general public who have tried to give input. Last election brought in a few new members with more balanced, divergent views, but now the committee spends time argu-

ing and being disrespectful to its own members.

Whether it is Mr. (Ray) Shakir disparaging children with special needs and their parents, or Mr. (Doug) Swett comparing our early-childhood education program to indoctrination programs in Nazi Germany, the fact remains that this is not the intended function of the official budget committee. Decisions to defund a particular program or staff position because the budget committee does not approve of their performance or philosophy is inappropriate.

Those decisions should be made by the boards that oversee each particular department.

“When the budget committee became overpopulated with people holding these extreme views, we saw an abuse of their power (and this could easily happen again in any given year). Last year, the see WHITE page 14

budget committee arbitrarily slashed the school budget by 11 percent. The people of the town spoke clearly against this reckless, destructive cut with their vote. Yet that did not matter, because state law only allows the amount appropriated at any annual town meeting to be increased by not more than 10 percent.

“In the state legislature this year, Karen Umberger proposed a bill that would limit the amount the voters could put back into a budget by only 2.5 percent. Another bill proposed zero percent. This type of legislation takes away the voice of the people and their power to influence a decision on the budget with their vote. That is why I support changing the budget committee to advisory.”

• School officials went to court this year to fight the release of embarrassing documents about a school board member. Did the school board handle that incident appropriately? If no, how would you have handled it differently?

“Since I am on the board, let me give you my perspective.

First, I didn’t even know about the Right to Know request until a Sun reporter asked about it at a board meeting. That was the first problem. The superintendent should have immediately informed the full board that the Sun filed a Right to Know request. Withholding information from board members is inappropriate, and this was discussed at a meeting.

Second, the board acted upon advice from the attorney. We are not experts on the Right to Know law. We rely on the expertise of counsel. In his professional opinion, the RTK law did not apply because Randy (Davison) was acting as a parent at his child’s game, not as a board member in a official function. We were advised that if we released info requested by the Sun, then we may be in violation of Randy’s privacy rights. So we followed his advice. This may not have pleased the Sun, but as a board, it is our responsibility to seek legal opinion in matters of law, not fan the flames.”

to the next, especially at the elementary level, who are behind the learning curve (not proficient) but who have the capacity to do the work. By promoting a student who is not proficient, creates a need for additional staff and/or services. It places an added workload on the teaching staff and can send a message to the student that they don’t have to do the work (try) in order to be promoted.”

• Do you support the warrant article for full-day kindergarten? Why or why not?

“I agree with the concept. However, I cannot support the warrant article in its current form. I would be willing to support it provided the funds and staff come from existing resources. If our primary educational system provides the foundation for further learning, shouldn’t the funding and staffing of their programs have a higher priority than those of our secondary educational system? In my opinion, if the elementary level only promotes students who are proficient at grade level, wouldn’t we reduce the need for additional services at the secondary level? Difficult decisions will have to be made.”

• Will you be supporting the proposed 2012-13 school budget or the default school budget (roughly $56,000 less)?

“I will support Article No. 2, the proposed

• Do you support transforming the budget committee from statutory to advisory? Why or why not?

“No. An advisory committee would effectively eliminate any financial check on budget requests sent to the voters by various boards. Common sense dictates we need a system that provides checks and balances. It would appear Washington, D.C. has nothing on Conway as far as being controlled by special interest groups and lack of common sense.”

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– CONWAY CIRCUIT COURT ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The following cases are from the Third Circuit Court in Conway for the week of March 5, 2012: A simple assault complaint against Keith A. Hutchings, 20, of Madison, was dropped.

John E. Berg, 29, of Conway, was fined $1,250 and sentenced to 40 days in jail after he pleaded no contest, as part of a negotiated plea, to driving after revocation or suspension and driving while intoxicated, second offense. $500 of the fine and 30 days jail time were suspended provided one year good behavior.

Complaints of simple assault and criminal threatening (intimidation, etc.) were placed on file without finding provided one year good behavior.

A simple assault complaint against Noelle Smith, 22, of North Conway, was dropped. A criminal trespass complaint and a bail jumping complaint were placed on file without finding provided one year good behavior.

Ellis Wilson, 42, of North Conway, was fined $500 and his license was revoked for nine months after he pleaded guilty, as part of a negotiated plea, to driving

cannot say enough about the level of dedication of our staff in terms of making core instruction better and better; learning assessment; and then doing effective interventions. It’s not me, it’s the staff.

I’ve been part of it but they deserve a tremendous amount of kudos.”

Both Carrier and Poulin would love to have fullday kindergarten within the Conway School District. They believe there are numerous benefits.

“You would be able to get more mastery,” Poulin said. “Kids who come into the kindergarten just for the half day only get introduced to the curriculum and they really don’t get the time to delve into it.

They don’t have the time to play with it and experience it and choose books on their own or to play with other children and learn those social skills, it’s just limited. The full-day kindergarten and the part-day kindergarten have the same exact curriculum and the same demands, but full-day K gives you the time to accomplish more mastery throughout the day.”

“What we’re doing here right now, as Patty said,” Carrier added, “is she does the introduction to everything and then the second half of the day whether it’s my morning or afternoon group, I take those skills that she has introduced and I introduce them again. Then they get time in smaller groups to really hone in on those skills, to have that time in different ways, to get the chance to really dig into learning is what it is, it’s just the time that they need.”

Hastings said intervention works.

“Their improvement curb is much steeper,” he said. “It’s very clear if you’re here for a full day your improvement is significantly higher than if you are a half day student. We have very strong data to back that up.”

Article 17 on this year’s school ballot asks if voters want to allocate $162,018 for full-day kindergarten programs at all three of Conway’s elementary schools. Voting is next Tuesday, April 10.

If voters approve full-day kindergarten, Conway El. would still maintain a form of intervention to provide students a helping hand.

“The way the rest of the school does it is they have a 40-minute block set aside every day for interventions, for small group interventions,” Carrier explained. “What we would still do is we would build in that 40-minute block where other staff would come in to help us and we would split the kids up into small groups at their abilities so the kids who still needed to learn their letters and sounds, that what we work on. The kids have that need rhyming, that’s what the full day would give us. It’s a chance to really reach those kids more individually and to differentiate the instruction — that’s what we’re able to do with those kids that stay full day now — unfortunately, it’s not everyone.”

Every two weeks throughout the entire school, students are monitored for progress.

“We take a little snapshots about their literacy or little snapshot about their numeracy and if they are making the benchmark then we go, ‘Good, they’re on track,’” Poulin explained. “If the kid in that two

Jennifer Zangarine, 29, of Conway, was fined $350, sentenced to 30 days in jail and ordered to pay $275 restitution after she pleaded guilty, as part of a negotiated plea, to theft of lost or mislaid property. Her jail time was suspended provided one year good behavior. A second theft of lost or mislaid property complaint and a receiving stolen property complaint were both placed on file without finding provided one year good behavior.

Joseph Lamarche, 17, of Freedom, was sentenced to one year in jail and ordered to pay $247.32 restitution after he was found guilty of theft from a building.

All but 60 days of his jail time were suspended provided one year good behavior. A burglary complaint was placed on file without finding provided one year good behavior.

the lowest level possible. It saves a lot of time and money.”

• Any final thoughts?

“In reviewing the New England Common Assessment Program, test results were of interest. I looked at the 2007 eighth-grade results and compared them against the 2010 11th-grade results. I compared the results of levels 1 and 2 (partially proficient and substantially below proficient) to see if there has been a decline in the percentage of students in these two categories. The percentage of students at level 1 writing skills decreased by 10 percent while level 2 increased by 10 percent. The math scores were the worst of the three skills tested. Level 1 increased by 14 percent and level 2 by 7 percent. Reading skills fared far better. Level 1 increased by 1 percent while level 2 remained constant where the percentages should be on a downward trend.

For me, it raises a lot of questions. I asked several teachers if they recommend students who are not proficient at grade level not be promoted, and were their recommendations a matter of record?

The universal answer was ‘yes.’ I then asked ‘were the recommendations implemented? Do the parents support your recommendations?’ They answered ‘occasionally!’ Parents, don’t be part of the problem, pay attention to the teacher’s recommendation!”

ARREST from page one

on Wednesday, according to a State Police statement, as the result of an ongoing investigation that began on Dec. 19.

That was the night the child, a 2-year-old boy, was beaten so badly he had to be taken by ambulance to Memorial Hospital. Authorities at the time called it a “domestic-related incident,” although they would not identify a suspect. The child was flown by helicopter to Maine Medical Center in Portland for further treatment.

The boy has since been released from the hospital into his father’s custody, officials said, but at the time the beating was severe enough to have affected almost every part of the boy’s body. Police were hoping for a swift arrest, but without third-party witnesses, amassing evidence became complex.

“This has taken a fair amount of time,” sheriff Chris Conley said in a phone call Wednesday afternoon, “but we intend to take it to fruition.”

It took multiple interviews to build their case, he said, as well as a fair amount of lab work. “It’s a very detailed, very encompassing investigation.”

Roy was arrested shortly after the assault on an unrelated complaint. Roy told the Union Leader he was the primary suspect in the investigation.

That was around New Year’s, however. Since then

very little information about the investigation has come out.

That changed Wednesday.

“Roy was arrested without incident,” State Police said in the statement.

“He was committed this afternoon,” county attorney Tom Dewhurst said in a phone call following the arraignment. Roy’s bail was set at $50,000 cash, he said, and a number of conditions were outlined should he make bail.

Each charge carries a maximum penalty of seven years in prison, Dewhurst said, but there is a chance there be enhanced penalties, which would mean more prison time if convicted.

Dewhurst would not comment on whether anyone else could wind up charged in connection with the incident.

“The matter is still under investigation,” he said.

He acknowledged the investigation had already taken a long time.

“It was very complex,” he said. He would not specify why, however, because to do so would release too much information.

The State Police statement ended with a very similar message: “This investigation is ongoing and there is no further information at this time.”

Roy’s next court date is April 11.

Sinusitis

One of the most common conditions encountered in primary care is sinusitis. The sinuses are a series of hollow areas in the bones of the face.

These areas allow for inhaled air to circulate and become warmed and humidified. In addition, the sinuses are areas where inhaled substances, like viruses, can be immobilized by the body’s immune system. However on occasion the mucous membranes that line those sinuses can get inflamed, a condition known as sinusitis.

There are many causes of sinusitis, the majority of which are viral infections. When a viral infection occurs in the sinuses it typically clears within 10 days.

Bacterial sinusitis, however, can Dr. Brian Irwin take a month or more to clear, and if left untreated can result in complications such as blood clots in the brain, bone infection or abcesses. Bacterial cases account for around 30 percent of all sinusitis events, which is an important point: antibiotics are not always needed for treatment of sinusitis.

There are other, more rare causes of sinusitis that can occur. Fungal sinusitis is a rare, but persistent condition. This is most commonly seen in those with weakened immune systems, either due to AIDS, those on immune suppressing medications like chemo, diabetes or many other conditions. Chemical sinusitis can develop in response to fume exposure.

The signs and symptoms of sinusitis are fairly consistent across the population. A headache in the area overlying the affected sinus is the most common symptom. The pain may worsen with bending over or lying down on that side. Nasal discharge is common and can be green, bloody or white from the body’s immune response. Inner ear problems can develop from sinusitis, so pain and pressure in the ears is frequently seen. see IRWIN page 23

Fortin brings a professionalism, personal investment to work at wound care center

Pamela Fortin, RN, MPH, Memorial Hospital’s program director, after completing undergraduate work at the University of New Hampshire at Durham and graduate studies at UNH Manchester, obtained valuable experience and clinical credentials in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York. She is pleased to return home to the Valley as program director at Memorial Hospital’s Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Center.

(WCC for short) Fortin, a graduate of Kennett High School, has deep roots in the Valley. “Having knowledge of this community has been instrumental to my understanding the culture, economics of this area, as well as the associated transportation issues that relate to accessing care at the center.”

“Within a relatively short period of time, the wound care center is significantly improving the quality of life for the growing numbers of individuals with chronic wounds,” Fortin said.

“Our program addresses slowto-heal or chronic non-healing wounds and our outcomes are outstanding and well documented,” said Dr. Stuart Battle, co-medical director.

“Returning to the Valley to an opportunity of supporting an indelible function in the community is very satisfying and motivating and is a major reason why I love my job,” Fortin said. “The wound care center, the first in the area, allows me to do something very positive for a large community.”

“I have been pleasantly sur-

prised about the positive energy and excitement — as well as the dedication and passion of wound care center staff — for the care they deliver at the wound care center.”

“My past clinical experience in pediatric rehabilitation, intensive care, cardiac care, visiting nurses, school nursing and medical surgery, all play an important role in my current duties and in my ability to serve a variety of patients,” said Fortin. When I arrived at the WCC, it was already a beautiful facility, but the rooms were basically empty.

Just prior to coming to Memorial, Fortin was director of the

Meredith Center Harbor Visiting Nurses Association. The position required high levels of a “can do” or independent spirit that has played a major role in getting the center up and running.

“My former experience as the director of a home care agency, where I was responsible for overseeing the construction of a new building, also provided me with the operational knowledge and background that has been invaluable in my role at the WCC. Those skills have been huge in getting the center up and running,” she said. see next page

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease You’ve probably seen the commercials on television. A person is lying on a couch with an elephant sitting on their chest. They talk about how hard it can be to breathe with COPD. The symbolism of the elephant is obvious. What may not be as obvious is that, although the person takes the advertised medication, the elephant is still in the room at all times.

That’s COPD. It’s a big ol’ elephant in the room. If you’ve got COPD you have no choice, but to learn how to live with your new roommate.

WebMD describes COPD as follows: COPD is a lung disease that makes it hard to breathe. It is caused by damage to the lungs over many years, usually from smoking. COPD is often a mix of two diseases: • Chronic bronchitis — the airways that carry air to the lungs get inflamed and make a lot of mucus.

This can narrow or block the airways, making it hard to breathe.

• Emphysema — the tiny air sacs in the lungs are like balloons that get bigger and smaller to move air through your lungs. With emphysema, these air sacs are damaged and lose their stretch. Less air gets in and out of the lungs.

COPD cannot be cured. The damage is permanent.

The disease is progressive. Medications and lifestyle changes however can help you manage symptoms and slow the progression of COPD. You can take steps to improve quality of life with COPD: 1. Quit smoking. Yes, I know you’ve heard this a million times. You may even think that since you’ve been diagnosed with a progressive disease that there’s no point to quitting now. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve smoked or how much. Quitting will help you live a better quality life with COPD and can help stop the damage to your lungs. Every puff

takes precious time with you away from your loved ones. Continuing to smoke with COPD is nothing more Suze Hargraves than slow suicide. Does that sound harsh? It is. The reality is a harsh one. The choice is yours.

2. Be an active participant in managing your condition. Listen to your health care providers. Take your medications as directed. Join support groups.

Participate in exercise programs.

3. COPD is a physical disease, but it has a mental component. Knowing you’re not going to “get better” is tough pill to swallow. You may feel a sense of defeat, depression, anxiety or other mental health symptoms. A lot of people with COPD are afraid to tell others because the disease is primarily caused by smoking and they feel guilty. Don’t be afraid to get help dealing with the mental health side of a COPD diagnosis.

4. Educate yourself as much as you can about COPD. Knowing the facts will help you make more informed decisions about your care with your healthcare team and your family.

5. Steer clear of scents including perfumes, fabric softeners, air fresheners, candles etc. Stay away from smoke, fireplaces and even outdoor fires. If you’re cleaning, use a face mask to avoid inhaling dust, animal dander or other allergens.

You can live a valuable and fulfilling life with COPD if you can learn to be patient and gentle with yourself, others and yes, even your elephant.

Home Care Matters

Sandra Ruka, RN MSN and Sharon Malenfant

Spring: A good time to check on needs of older family members It can be hard to assess a family member’s need for help in the home but springtime get-togethers can offer a special opportunity. Graduations, holidays, vacations, all can be useful in understanding the changing needs of older relatives and whether they are having increased difficulties with their daily lives.

Planning ahead is important because most people will say, “I want to stay in my own home.”

With the right understanding of available services and some advance planning, the good news is that your family members may be able to do just that.

The first step is to think about what kinds of help would be useful. Maybe a relative lives alone, or has a spouse with a chronic illness — every family has a different situation.

During visits, families can be on the lookout for signs that their older relative may need more

assistance to remain safe and independent in their homes. Loved ones may hide many of their problems because they fear what is happening and the potential loss of their independence.

Things to look for include declining personal hygiene, changes in housekeeping, sleeping or eating habits, unopened mail or unpaid bills, memory loss or signs of depression. Some of the things that a family member may need help with include personal care, homemaking, meals, money management, getting around at home and in town, activities with friends, safety and housing options.

It can be difficult to talk about home care with older adults who are convinced that they don’t need any help. The best way is to start the conversation by acknowledging their desire to remain in their home. You can begin by saying that a

little extra help could keep them safe and independent for a longer period of time. Offer to do a quick assessment of their home for fall risks and see what simple things you could do to make it safer for everyone. We’ll have more about fall risk assessments in an upcoming column.

Sandra Ruka, RN MSN, is the agency director of Visiting Nurse, Home Care & Hospice of Carroll County. “Home Care Matters” is a bi-weekly column sharing information on today’s important home care topics. The articles are written by Sharon Malenfant for Visiting Nurse, Home Care & Hospice of Carroll County.

Health care scholarship applications now available NORTH CONWAY – Applications are now available for Memorial Hospital’s annual scholarship fund, including the $1,000 Dr. G. Harold Shedd Memorial Award and the VNS Kathleen Sheehan Memorial Award.

Candidates must submit completed application forms to the hospital’s Human Resources office not later than May 15th. Awards are based on scholas-

tic ability, applicable work experience, essay, and demonstrated financial needs.

Dollars for Scholars is a national program that receives matching scholarship awards for students at participating colleges and universities.

Applications and more information are available by contacting the Human Resources Department at Memorial Hospital, 356-5461 ext. 104 2251or 3842384.

State promotes Get Yourself Tested campaign as part of National Public Health Week

CONCORD — The N.H. Department of Health and Human Services is partnering with colleges and universities in the state and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to try to raise awareness about sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevalence this month especially among young people. According to the CDC, as many as one in two sexually active young people will contract an STD by the age of 25 and most of them won’t know it.

The GYT campaign encourages Americans, especially those under 25, to speak with their health care provider and partners about getting tested. For information about STDs, visit the CDC website at www. cdc.gov/std/default.htm, visit the DHHS website at www.dhhs.nh.gov, or call the DHHS STD Program at 271-4502. For more information about the Get Yourself Tested campaign, go to www. cdcnpin.org/stdawareness/GYT.aspx.

This campaign is one of the topics DHHS is focusing on this week in recognition of National Public Health Week; for more information go to www.nphw.org.

NO GIMMICKS... NO HIDDEN FEES! Training with SimMan from left to right: Scott Horton, MD, emergency department; Stacey Savage, RN-director of emergency services; Luann Bisson, RN-ICU; William Riley, Huggins Hospital paramedic; and Brian Nicholson, paramedic and instructor from Wentworth-Douglass Hospital.

SimMan visits Huggins Hospital

WOLFEBORO — While his name may sound like a super hero, he is actually a super training tool. Huggins Hospital recently held a full day of training with SimMan in the emergency department. SimMan is a realistic, full body adult patient simulator used to provide training for doctors, nurses, EMTs, paramedics, etc. Many of us have taken CPR courses using the “Resuscitation Anne” simulator.

SimMan takes this sort of interactive simulator training to a whole new level.

SimMan appears to breathe, has a pulse, has one arm that can be used to set up an IV, a defibrillator can be used, a chest tube can be inserted, it has a full airway for intubation and the mouth can be altered to create different situations where medical personnel have to open the airway, and so much more. It also has a variety of trauma parts that simulate amputations, wounds, infected wounds, etc. SimMan can also simulate heart attacks, strokes, and other situations where medical personnel have to IRWIN from page 20

The roots of the upper teeth extend up and very close to the floor of the sinus cavities on either side of the nose (the maxillary sinuses). Should this sinus become infected it yields dental pain in the majority of people. One recent study showed that the presence of dental pain was over 90 percent sensitive for maxillary sinusitis.

Most cases of sinusitis are diagnosed based on clinical criteria, that is the presence of symptoms and physical exam findings (like tenderness over the sinus). Should the sinusitis persist over time, it is common to better evaluate the sinuses with a CT scan, as this can aid in not only ruling out bone involvement, but can also rule out nasal polyps. In some cases referral to an ear nose and throat specialist is performed so the sinuses can be visualized with a scope.

react quickly.

Another aspect of the SimMan training is that it brings together multi-disciplined health care professionals, doctors, nurses, EMTs, etc.

The team works together through a variety of both clinical scenarios and critical incidents to improve real patient outcomes.

“It’s a great interactive training tool to run through a wide range of situations that may present in the emergency department or occur in the ICU or medical/surgical unit,” said Stacey Savage, director of emergency services at Huggins Hospital. “The better prepared we are, the better the outcomes for our patients.” Savage also acknowledged Brian Nicholson of Wentworth-Douglass Hospital who brought SimMan here for the training and the State Fire Academy that owns SimMan and lent it out for this training. In addition to Huggins Hospital staff, Wakefield EMS and the Wolfeboro Fire Department EMTs also attended the training.

The majority of sinusitis cases respond to therapy quite well. Saline nasal irrigation and decongestants can also help symptoms. One study showed that nasal steroid sprays were as effective as antibiotics for the treatment of sinusitis; other studies have failed to replicate those findings. For sinusitis lasting more than 10 days, antibiotics are the mainstay of treatment.

Sinusitis is exceptionally common.

It’s estimated that around 90 percent of all adults have had sinusitis. If you fall into this category, have nasal congestion and sinus pressure that’s been around for one to two weeks, or simply have questions about sinusitis prevention, call you PCP. They’ll give you a breath of fresh air.

Egg arts workshop at library April 7 Well folks I am back! As Cathie Gregg takes care of baby and injured animals, I will bring you the news from Madison. Feel free to email me with anything you would like to submit.

The Madison Library is holding an egg arts workshop on Saturday, April 7, at 11 a.m., directly following Madison Recreation’s egg hunt. “Faberge Eggs: From Fine Art to Fine Craft” is a twopart workshop presented by Russian artist, historian, and storyteller Marina Forbes.

This program is free, but there is a fee of $7 to $10 for the wooden eggs which participants take home. Program is designed for adults, teens, and families with children 6 and older. Call the library at 367-8545 by Thursday, April 5 to register for the program. The Madison Library’s book group is reading Ayelet Waldman’s “Red Hook Road” for its discussion on April 24.

North Conway Library’s book discussion group to talk about ‘Animal, Vegetable, Miracle’April 6 CONWAY — The North Conway Library’s TGIF Book Group is reading “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle” by Barbara Kingsolver will be discussing it on Friday, April 6, at 10:30 a.m. at the library.

The TGIF Book Group is an open group. Everyone is welcome, whether or not you are a library member and whether or not you have finished the book.

In “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A year of food life,” best-selling novelist Barbara Kingsolver recounts the year her family made a commitment to become locavores – to eat only what they could grow on their farm in Virginia or buy from local sources.

In addition to a review of what life is like in rhythm with the growth cycle of the year, she, with contributions from her husband and older daughter, talks about the economics, community

and environmental impact, and personal growth of such a food choice.

The book is a celebration of the food that physically nourishes even as the recipes and the memories of cooks and gardeners past nourish our hearts and souls.

Readers, in particular Kingsolver’s fans and foodies alike, will find this a charming, sometimes inspiring account of reconnecting with the food chain.

The TGIF Book Group is an open book discussion group that reads both fiction and nonfiction and meets on the first Thursday or Friday of each month at 10:30 a.m. at the library in North Conway Village.

Contact the North Conway Library at (603) 3562961 or check the library’s website at www.NorthConwayLibrary.com for more information.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

DILBERT

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do you feel an inexplicable pull toward the supernatural world? Your desire to fine-tune your intuitive skills begins with strong hunches and ends with an irresistible wave of feeling. Resistance is futile.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Work presents special challenges. You may experience feelings of jealousy, and if so, they’re something to celebrate. You’re being led to excel in a certain direction. The spirit of competition will keep you sharp.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Clinging to what you want only defeats your efforts. Let go. The old adage is so true: If it’s really yours, set it free, and it will come back to you. The art of detachment will liberate you both.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t always know what you’re doing.

It’s beautiful -- to those who understand beauty. Life is a creative process, after all. Your ability to improvise will come into play.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Coming up with solutions for the problems of the world seems to be your forte of late. You think no one understands the pressures you are under, but that’s where you’re wrong. Another Pisces can commiserate.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 5). Love connections strengthen this year as you create more experiences with loved ones. The next 10 weeks open your eyes and heart in new ways. Take a class in June. It will be such a fortuitous move that you’ll immediately sign on for another. Money in November adds to your holiday enjoyment. Your love signs are Pisces and Taurus. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 30, 22, 13 and 18.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be keenly aware of fortune’s favor. You’ll have an excellent sense of what will be lucky for you. You’ll also note what is likely to be burdensome, and you’ll run in the opposite direction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Someone cares enough to put on a theatrical show of emotions for you.

This may pull at your heartstrings, or it may amuse you. Either way, you’ll find it flattering.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your reputation precedes you. There’s something in the way others approach you that makes you understand your position anew. This inspires you to do what it takes to keep your public image pristine.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Just when you start to feel that life is a super-long road trip, someone dear will take the wheel for a while so you can relax. It’s proof that your people love you for who you are and not strictly for what you can do for them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The funny thing about sensation is that too much pleasure will quickly become pain -- ha, ha, ha. Moderation is the key to liking what you enjoy for now and the days to come.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You love your friends and family, but you don’t always want them in your business.

Sometimes your door hanger is turned to “Do Not Disturb,” and that’s just how it goes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There is joy and unexpected pleasure to be had by giving in to the wiles and whims of others. Tonight: Be careful not to defend yourself before you’re being attacked.

That’s a sure way to show weakness.

THE DAILY SUN, Thursday, April 5, 2012— Page 29

Today is Thursday, April 5, the 96th day of 2012. There are 270 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 5, 1862, during the Civil War, the monthlong Siege of Yorktown began in Virginia.

(Because the Union commander, Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan, overestimated the enemy’s strength and insisted on preparations for a fullscale assault, the Confederate defenders were finally able to slip away and head toward Williamsburg.)

On this date: In 1614, Pocahontas, daughter of the leader of the Powhatan tribe, married English colonist John Rolfe in Virginia. (A convert to Christianity, she went by the name Lady Rebecca.)

In 1621, the Mayflower sailed from Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts on a monthlong return trip to England.

In 1792, President George Washington cast his first veto, rejecting a congressional measure for apportioning representatives among the states.

In 1887, in Tuscumbia, Ala., Anne Sullivan achieved a breakthrough as her blind and deaf pupil, Helen Keller, learned the meaning of the word “water” as spelled out in the Manual Alphabet.

In 1895, Oscar Wilde lost his criminal libel case against the Marquess of Queensberry, who’d accused the writer of homosexual practices.

In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order creating the Civilian Conservation Corps and naming its director, Robert Fechner.

In 1951, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were sentenced to death following their conviction in New York on charges of conspiring to commit espionage for the Soviet Union.

In 1964, Army General Douglas MacArthur died in Washington at age 84.

In 1986, two American servicemen and a Turkish woman were killed in the bombing of a West Berlin discotheque, an incident which prompted a U.S. air raid on Libya more than a week later.

In 1987, Fox Broadcasting Co. made its primetime TV debut by airing the premiere episodes of “Married... with Children” and “The Tracey Ullman Show” three times each.

In 1988, a 15-day hijacking ordeal began as gunmen forced a Kuwait Airways jumbo jet to land in Iran.

One year ago: Ivory Coast’s strongman leader, Laurent Gbagbo remained holed up in a bunker inside the presidential residence, defiantly maintaining he’d won an election four months earlier even as troops backing the internationally recognized winner encircled the home.

Today’s Birthdays: Movie producer Roger Corman is 86. Country music producer Cowboy Jack Clement is 81. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell is 75. Country singer Tommy Cash is 72. Actor Michael Moriarty is 71. Pop singer Allan Clarke (The Hollies) is 70. Writer-director Peter Greenaway is 70. Actor Max Gail is 69. Actress Jane Asher is 66. Singer Agnetha (ag-NEE’-tah) Faltskog (ABBA) is 62. Actor Mitch Pileggi is 60.

Singer-songwriter Peter Case is 58. Rock musician Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) is 46. Country singer Troy Gentry is 45. Singer Paula Cole is 44. Actress Krista Allen is 41. Country singer Pat Green is 40.

SIX YEARS OF SOBRIETY END IN SHOCK AND UNCERTAINTY

DEAR ABBY: “Robert” and I met four years ago and fell head-over-heels in love. At the time, he was two years clean and sober and attending meetings. Due to his hectic work schedule, he stopped attending the meetings.

Robert is intelligent, a hard worker, handsome and my best friend. He prided himself on his sobriety, so imagine my shock when I found an empty liquor bottle buried in the trash and three more under the bed. I never thought I’d see the day when he would relapse, but he has. I am devastated. I didn’t know what to say to him or how to react, because I have never been down this road.

I told Robert I knew he was drinking again. I could barely hold back my tears because I knew what a huge personal setback this is for him. He said he didn’t want to discuss it, so I didn’t push.

What am I supposed to do when the man I love has relapsed? My heart aches for him. I’m trying to be supportive, but I am clueless. Please help. -- HELPLESS DEAR HELPLESS: The first thing to do is recognize that this is Robert’s problem, and only he can fix it. If you plan to stay involved with him, understand that it is not unusual for someone with a substance abuse problem to fall off the wagon from time to time.

The next thing you should do, and this is important, is find your nearest chapter of Al-Anon. It’s an organization that was started by the wife of an alcoholic, and its sole purpose is to help the family and friends of alcoholics. The toll-free phone number is 888-425-2666, and it has been mentioned in this column many times.

There will be meetings for you to attend so you can learn

to avoid falling into the trap of trying to “save” or enable Robert, because in order for him to get better he must experience the consequences of going back to drinking. This is not easy to do with someone you care about, and you will need all of the support you can get.

By the way, your letter arrived in the same batch as the one below. It may give you some insight: DEAR ABBY: A few years ago I talked to my mother about her drinking. She’s a binge drinker and her excuse is always, “It’s my day off.” I am focusing on myself and trying to figure out my life, as well, with the help of Al-Anon -- the only thing that has kept me positive.

I knew that once I uttered the word “alcoholic” aloud, my relationship with my mother would forever be affected. I asked her to contact me when she was ready to quit because I can no longer enable her drinking.

I miss the mom who doesn’t drink, but I can’t be around her when she does. As I grow in my recovery, I may figure out how to do that. But for now, I need to put space between us.

My family is worried something drastic will happen (as her health isn’t good) and I will have regrets. But I have expressed my thoughts and accepted that Mom and I may never speak again. Is that wrong? -- STILL A LOVING DAUGHTER IN WISCONSIN DEAR STILL A LOVING DAUGHTER: No, it’s not wrong.

Your mother’s binge drinking was affecting her health as well as her relationship with you, and while it may have been difficult and wrenching, it was the right thing to do -- for both of you. Let’s hope that your strength in doing that will give her the strength to stop her alcohol binges.

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

Baseball Eagles looking to make it a memorable season –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — With an experienced group of baseball players returning they hope to make Coach Bob Burns’ final season on the diamond one to remember. After 42 years, Burns, the winningest coach in New Hampshire high school baseball history with 500 victories, is still excited about the sport he loves.

In three weeks of preseason he’s been pleased with the progress the Eagles have made.

“You could say I’m cautiously optimistic,” Burns said, smiling Monday, “I believe you’ve heard that phrase before. I think we’ll be all right. As in the past pitching is kind of the key to the season. We lost (Nick) Kevlin, who from what I understand is pitching well down in New York (in college baseball).

He threw a lot of innings for us and we’ll have to replace those.

“We’ve got some pitchers who we’re counting on,” he continued. “Junior Nick Massa threw the ball well for us last year and is even stronger this year.

Senior Sean Perley saw some limited action last year, but has looked strong this spring. Scott Conner (a senior) played first base last year and will again this year, but he pitched in the inner squad game over the weekend and looked good. We’ve also got (senior, shortstop) Alex Milford back, who can throw, but my preference would be to keep him at short.

Junior Ben Garner is pretty raw, but he throws the ball with good movement. I’ll also keep my eye on some of the younger guys who might be able to help us as the season goes on.”

Kennett is scheduled to open its 2012 regular season this Monday at 4 p.m. when it hosts Berlin and its top notch pitcher Curtis Arsenault. It’s a busy week for the Eagles, who, weather-permitting, are slated to travel to St. Thomas on Wednesday and close out the week (April 13) at Plymouth.

Burns along with longtime junior varsity coach Brian Day have 51 boys outs for the program. Fortunately volunteer coaches Danny Quint, Rick West and Jason Cicero have offered their services to the help the program.

“I’ll keep my usual 10 and give the rest to Brian,” Burns said, laughing. “Seriously, we’re lucky to have these guys willing to volunteer their time. Brian, the see next page

kids and I appreciate it so much.”

Burns is looking to open the season with letter winners Conner at first base; senior Austin Weber at second base; Milford at shortstop; Perley at third base; and senior Josh Drew, who has been swinging a red hot bat this spring, behind the plate catching.

Massa, when not pitching, will probably be in leftfield while senior letter winner Dan Rivera will see action catching, at third, and designated hitter.

“I’d like to see him in the lineup at least offensively,” Burns said.

The outfield picture is not totally settled, but Burns likes what he’s seen to date from sophomore Billy Chick in center-field. He’s among the top three on the entire team in terms of time around the base paths.

Garner along with senior Kenny Drew and junior Dylan Thurston are in the mix to play right- and left-field.

The Eagles won their lone exhibition game on Tuesday, topping state-line neighbor Fryeburg Academy.

Burns has talked a little about goals and believes the Eagles are playoff contenders. ‘’As in year’s past,” he said, “when we had great seasons those were the years where we had great pitching. Those were years with 14-15-16 wins thanks to overpowering pitchers like Danny (Quint), John (Eastman), Steve Larson, Abe Wrobleski and a certain lefty, I think (Jeff) Locke was his name.

“We’ll be competitive,” Burns continued. “We need to win the games we should and win one or two we shouldn’t. We want to be playing our best ball at the end of the season and when you get into the playoffs it’s a whole new ball game.”

The Eagles will play a 17 game schedule this spring.

“I think we have some veterans — Massa, Perley, Weber and Drew who have played a lot of ball in the off-season,” Burns said. “That was one of the things I brought up at the first meeting (this spring), how important it is to play ball in the summer. If you do you could be whole season better. Instead of three seasons under your belt going into your senior year you could have six.”
