Eyeing the majors Would rumble strips help make Route 16 safer?
Albany residents speak out on both sides of the issue BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
ALBANY — Selectmen may be in for a bumpy road in their efforts to have rumble strips installed on Route 16 from Ossipee to Conway. While some residents think the center-line rumble strips will make the highway safer, others think they would make the road more dangerous. Ronald Grandmaison, an engineer with New Hampshire Department of Transportation, explained the issues with rumble strips at an informational meeting in Albany on March 31. About a dozen people attended. The section of Route 16 only meets some of the state’s conditions for adding rumble strips. For example, that area of Route 16 has a substantial history of crashes. The state average is .21 but Route 16 has an average of .38. That means for every mile of Route 16, there are .38 crashes involving vehicles that cross the center line. “That is considerably higher than the state average,” said Grandmaison. But on the other hand, there are many areas where the pavement isn’t thick enough to support rumble strips, said Grandmaison.

Last geisha defies time and fourth tsunami
KAMAISHI, Japan (NY Times) — The requests to see her perform had dwindled over the years. But when the earthquake struck at 2:46 p.m. on March 11, this city’s last geisha was, fittingly, at home getting ready to sing that night at Kamaishi’s 117-year-old ryotei, an exclusive restaurant featuring fine food and entertainment where she began working as a 14-year-old seven decades ago. Hired to entertain a party of four in honor of a colleague’s transfer from Kamaishi, she had picked just the right song, one meant to steel young samurai going to their first battle. But a tsunami would engulf this city within 35 minutes and, as Kamaishi trembled from at least 15 big aftershocks during that short time, the geisha, Tsuyako Ito, 84, fought to survive. She had lived through three tsunamis before in Kamaishi. “My grandmother said that a tsunami is like a wide-open mouth that swallows everything in its path,” Ito said, “so that victory comes to those who run away as fast as possible.” Her mother carried her on her back to safety at the time of Ms. Ito’s first tsunami in 1933. This time, after her legs gave out, an admirer carried Ms. Ito on his back to higher ground. Ms. Ito, who had planned

Under heavy assault, Libyan rebels flee Brega BREGA, Libya (NY Times) — Forces loyal to Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi battered rebel fighters on the road outside this strategic oil town on Tuesday with rocket fire, mortars and artillery, driving them many miles to the north and leaving them in disarray A day after a senior Libyan rebel leader criticized NATO for “a delay in reacting and lack of response to what’s going on on
the ground,” there was still no sign of the air power that two weeks ago seemed to have the loyalist forces reeling toward the Qaddafi stronghold of Surt, more than 100 miles to the west. The official, Ali al-Essawi, the foreign policy director of the Transitional National Council, the rebels’ coordinating group, said that the problems began after NATO took charge of the air campaign from the United
States, Britain and France, and that he now foresaw a drawn-out battle. “They took the command; they will make it long,” he said in an interview in Rome. While NATO seemingly had no presence on the battlefield here, a NATO official, Brig. Gen. Mark van Uhm, said at a news briefing that Western airstrikes had destroyed about 30 percent of Colonel Qaddafi’s military power, Reuters reported.
Budget stances harden as Boeing didn’t expect deadline nears for shutdown cracks in 737s so soon
WASHINGTON (NY Times) — In dueling news conferences just moments apart, President Obama and the speaker of the House, John A. Boehner, dug in their heels on Tuesday over terms of a budget deal to stave off a partial shutdown of the federal government as early as Saturday. Mr. Obama warned of a public backlash over a shutdown and said there was no excuse for failing to pass legislation allowing agencies to carry on for the rest of this fiscal year, while Mr. Boehner said his side was determined not to be boxed in. But neither offered the other much
of a way out, or gave any ground in the dispute over how much to cut. Meanwhile, the Republicans’ budget chairman in the House set forth a longer-range blueprint defining a new era of profoundly smaller government and steep tax cuts for corporations and individuals. At an impromptu news conference at the White House, Mr. Obama said he was no longer willing to accept one short-term deal after another to temporarily keep agencies running. The Republicans had offered a one-week extension at a price of $12 billion in immediate spending cuts.

You Ringa - We Bringa
(NY Times) — A Boeing engineer said Tuesday that the company had projected a longer lifespan for the skin and the supporting joints of its older 737 jetliners and was surprised that serious cracks developed on one Southwest Airlines plane last Friday. Paul Richter, a chief engineer for the older Boeing 737 models, said the plane maker had expected the parts to last 60,000 cycles of takeoffs and landings before cracks might form, while the jet that developed the hole on Friday had only 39,000 cycles. Southwest had done nothing wrong in maintaining the plane, Richter said. He said Boeing had felt so confident about the joints that it did not even require airlines to inspect that part of the plane until it reached 60,000 cycles. Southwest Airlines said Tuesday that it had found minor subsurface cracks in a total of five passenger planes inspected after a hole opened in the roof of one of its 737s on Friday on a flight from Phoenix to Sacramento, forcing the airplane to make an emergency landing at a military base.

Unions back to Concord State Representative resigns to fight right-to-work bill after second traffic arrest BY TOM FAHEY THE UNION LEADER
CONCORD — Unions that last week fought changes to their pensions and collective bargaining rights will be back at the State House today. This time, they will argue against the right-to-work bill that passed the House in February. Under the bill, HB 474, no one who works in a unionized workplace could be required to make what are called fair-share or agency fees. The fees are essentially union dues stripped of the costs of lobbying and other political activities. They cover the costs of negotiating a collective bargaining agreement and enforcing it. A public hearing the House held on the bill two months ago ran nearly eight hours. The House passed the bill by a vote of 221-131. Today the Senate Commerce Committee will hold a hearing at which officials and members of several labor unions plan to speak. Unions represent nearly 12 percent of the state’s labor force, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Gov. John Lynch and Labor Commissioner George Copadis have already made it clear they oppose the bill. Copadis follows a long line of state labor commissioners who fought the bill. He has called the measure the “right to work for less” bill. The bill states that its purpose is “to maximize individual freedom of
choice in the pursuit of employment.” Its supporters say it will make the state more attractive to new businesses that don’t want to deal with unions. As more businesses arrive in the state, more unemployed workers will be able to find jobs, they argue. Cornerstone Action has lobbied for the bill, saying that unions should have nothing to fear. “If the security and benefits the unions offer are truly as spectacular as they leader say they are ... employees will continue to join them,” Cornerstone’s Ellen Kolb told the House Labor Committee at this year’s hearing. Local presidents of Professional Firefighters of New Hampshire in Manchester and Exeter yesterday called on their senators to oppose it. Kevin St. James, president of Local 3491, urged Commerce Committee chair Sen. Russell Prescott, R-Kingston, to oppose the bill. St. James said, “House Bill 474 will cost cities and towns more money through complicated and expensive contract negotiations with individual members. This measure is just another attempt to dismantle public employee rights much like the repeal of collective bargaining the House also passed.” Ryan Cashin, president of Manchester Local 856, characterized the bill as “strictly a union busting bill that has never proven to create jobs or help the economy.” He urged his Commerce member Sen. Tom DeBlois, R-Manchester, to reject the bill.

HAMPTON — A state representative has resigned after he was charged with speeding and driving with a suspended license. Hampton police said Rep. Gary Wheaton, R-Seabrook, was charged Tuesday morning after an officer tried to pull him over for speeding on Route 1 near the Route 101 interchange. Police said Wheaton made a U-turn and went around a construction barricade when the officer tried to pull him over. When Wheaton stopped and the officer approached his car, Wheaton identified himself as a state representative and made some other comments to the officer, but police wouldn’t say what those comments were. Police said Wheaton’s car did not have state representative license plates on it.
Hampton police declined an on-camera interview with News 9, calling the case “very politically sensitive.” They said there is a state statute that prevents police from detaining or arresting a state representative en route to the Statehouse. Wheaton told WMUR that he was headed to a meeting at the Statehouse that he learned of too late to secure another mode of transportation. Wheaton was also charged with a traffic control device violation, which is typically issued to a driver accused of running a stop sign or traffic light or failing to yield. His license was suspended on Jan. 28 after he pleaded guilty to recklessly endangering the lives and safety of the public in Londonderry, according to court documents. —Courtesy of WMUR

Upper Saco Valley Land Trust presents Art Celebrates Place 2011 show April 9 ALBANY — The second annual Art Celebrates Place show of art by local artists inspired by conservation easements held by The Upper Saco Valley Land Trust will be held at Tin Mountain Conservation Center from April 9 to May 19, with the artists reception on Saturday, April 9. The artists reception, with refreshments and entertainment, will be held from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Tin Mountain Conservation Center Nature Center in Albany. At 6 p.m., the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust President Tom Earle will once again slip into the spirit of Robert Frost, reading one or two of his poems. The Pot Luck Singers will sing a few inspired songs of place, and Anne Garland will accompany Marnie Cobbs with sign language as she reads two Foss Mountain poems. Wrapping up our celebration will be storyteller Matt Krugg. This year’s artists include Lori Badger, Kim Beals, Anne Garland, Robert Gordon, Mary Howe, Melanie Leavitt, Kate Thompson and June McLeavey. Each artist has chosen one or more properties protected by a conservation easement held by the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust that inspires them to express their own personal connection to that place. These works range from views of or from the preserved property, to more abstract responses inspired by the place. The easement which inspired the art will be noted alongside each painting, print or mosaic. A conservation easement protects land in perpetuity, and is a legal agreement between the landowner

and the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust. The landowners continue to own and steward the land but certain uses, such as large scale development, are restricted. The easement usually allows for productive uses such as forestry and farming. The Upper Saco Valley Land Trust currently monitors over 4,000 acres on 32 properties from Jackson to Denmark, Maine. This art show celebrates this work, and the many ways of honoring place. Besides the paintings hanging on the walls, note-cards with images donated by each of the artists will be for sale. The artists are donating a percentage from all art to benefit the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust, with a smaller donation going to Tin Mountain for their partnership with the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust as hosts of the show. The show will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday at 1245 Bald Hill Road, in Albany, as well as at evening events.

Portrayal of Shakir as Hitler wasn’t funny To the editor: I love the idea of an April Fool’s edition of The Conway Daily Sun and always look forward to fun, creative spoofs of local events and personalities. The portrayal of Ray Shakir as Hitler, however, was neither. People who ask tough questions in order to find solutions to real problems should not be vilified. If you do any research, in the last 30 years the cost of education has grown over 1000 percent; higher than even the exorbitant increase in medical costs. Frankly, I would expect my own business manager to question any large expenditures in my financial statements or
budget, and consider him negligent if he did not. But whether you agree or disagree with Ray Shakir, I found your portrayal distasteful to the extreme. As both a reader of your paper and a former writer for it; as well as a business advertiser and distributer/ promoter of your newspapers to the many guests who come to our hotel, I ask you to make a formal written apology for such a lack of editorial standards. Until you do, please suspend delivery of all your newspapers to our Lodge. Cathi Belcher Co-owner of The Lodge at Jackson Village Jackson
Is this what we voted for? Yes it is To the editor: Is this what we voted for: Yes it is. Get over your ideals, and your lack of economic sense. It is interesting that in the very first paragraph, Ms. Bruce slams the Tea Party movement as being racist, “their outrage didn’t manifest until a black guy got into the White House.” In the second paragraph she blames the Tea Party movement for the shooting of the congresswoman in Colorado. Ms. Bruce, you can’t possibly be that stupid, can you? I have to think she takes these ridiculous postures to make herself more controversial, and therefor better able to sell her rantings. I, and many of my fellow workers here in the valley, don’t feel the budget cuts went far enough. The county registrar of probate should have been completely eliminated, and the consumer protection bureau was a joke.
We have increased funding for 25 years in the substance abuse arena, just to watch it grow, both in state and nationally. Why would we keep funding something that doesn’t improve? Many of the programs you mentioned were fraught with fraud and mismanagement, but you didn’t want that discussion. We need a complete wholesale change of our national politicians, both Republican and Democrat, black or white. That is where you missed the biggest point about the Tea Party. We are not Republican-based, or white-based, we are American-based. Time to get rid of all the far left leaning do nothing aristocrats. Might be time for you to wake up. Oh yeah, I married into a black family, we all voted “Barack” last time, but never again. Michael Rampey North Conway

Republicans stand firm on continuing tax breaks for oil companies To the editor: Republicans, in opposition to President Obama’s budget proposal, stand strong on continuing tax breaks for oil companies to the tune of over $40 billion. Note: The five most profitable companies in the world are oil companies. As the budget debate in D.C. unfolds and
you become aware of the kinds of spending cuts Republicans propose (so, in part, they can continue the $40 billion tax breaks for oil companies), ask yourself if these guys are at all connected to the world of the average American and if they deserve your support. Art Micallef Bartlett
THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Wednesday, April 6, 2011— Page 7
McKINNEY from page 9
What would you like to accomplish as a budget committee member? "I’d like to be able to represent a broad spectrum of Conway residents in an informed and thoughtful manner. Tough decisions will have to be made. I think we all know that. There is not a lot of fat to cut. Our town and school have done a good job providing quality services and education at an affordable cost. But with federal and state budget cuts expected, now is the time to enact fiscal discipline at the municipal level so we can balance and support the economic impact on our schools, town and residents." What specific skills do you feel you bring to the position? "I am dedicated, hard working, honest and communicative. I ran a local business for many years and currently do much of my work as a private educator. In my own work I have aspired to offer the highest quality services at the most affordable cost. The same principles apply to running a municipal government." How do you plan to balance the needs of the (town, school, police department) with the needs of the taxpayers? Would you have supported the budget committee’s 11 percent cut of the school budget? "I believe education and public safety are vital local and global priorities. Our collective humanity depends on them. Education is the single greatest gift we can give our children so that we can empower them with the hope and the skills to make the world a better place in which to live. However, just appropriating a lot of money for education does not necessarily make for a better education. Inspired and knowledgeable teachers are vital as are safe and well maintained schools. I believe that we can provide the children in our community with a fine education without putting ourselves in a perilous position financially. I would not have voted for the 11 percent cut of the school budget. If elected to the budget committee I look forward to engaging in thoughtful and serious discussions with the school board and the school district about ways in which we will control the cost of education in the future. "Note: On at least three occasions during the deliberative session debate on the school budget Dr. Nelson referred to the $33m budget as $33k. I realize this was most likely a slip of the tongue but it aggravated me. It’s not Monopoly money. "I believe we have a fine police department. I know many of our law enforcement personnel and feel they conduct themselves in an exemplary manner in a job filled with risk. I supported all articles related to the police department at the town deliberative session." Why do you feel the budget committee has been regarded in a negative light recently? "I believe some of the negativity may have been the way it was reported but there is no doubt the budget committee did a poor job of representing their hard work and concerns to the community. Though I may not agree with the 11 percent cut, I listened intently to what they said at both deliberative sessions. Many of the issues they confronted at this year’s meeting will have to be addressed again next year. Hopefully the board will be more adept at conveying these issues in a more compassionate and appeasing tone. I thought Dave Sordi’s community tree basket was a great idea." What can be done to improve
the budget committee and school board’s relationship? "Mutual respect and forthright communication are essential. I got the sense at the deliberative session that both bodies had done their respective jobs in good faith but a schism between the two bodies existed that compromised a realistic and positive resolution. Compromise is a reality that must be employed if we are to resolve the tough issues facing us in these fiscally challenging times. I know and respect a number of the current school board members and would enjoy the opportunity to work with them to improve the quality of the education while managing the cost responsibly." Do you feel there are too many seats on the budget committee, just enough or not enough? "I believe the number of seats on the town of Conway Municipal Budget Committee is appropriate and adequate for achieving a fiscally responsible and accountable system of checks and balances. Diverse representation is key to achieving solutions the community can live with." Do you like SB2? Please explain why or why not. "Philosophically I like the town hall style meetings because it promoted community involvement in a more personal format. However, I believe the SB2 format has achieved its mission to get more people involved and that is the hallmark of our democratic form of government. As residents and voters we have a responsibility to seek out the information we need to cast an informed vote just as the town and school district need to provide accurate and transparent documentation to residents. It is important for residents to attend and participate in the deliberative sessions so the articles appearing on the ballot are relevant and achievable." What experience do you have reviewing budgets? "As a co-owner and president of a local business I reviewed company finances on a daily basis for 11 years in order to ensure our operations were profitable and sustainable. The key to reading financial documents (budgets, P/L statements, balance sheets) is to understand what every line item entails." The budget committee has suffered because some members do not attend meetings regularly or have quit before their terms expire. Barring unforeseen dramatic circumstances, how committed would you be? "If I am elected to a seat on the budget committee I will set my schedule so that I can attend as many meetings as possible. I take pride in our community. I honestly feel we live in one of the most beautiful and wonderful places on the planet. Serving on the board will require some amount of sacrifice to personal, professional and family time. I believe the sacrifice is worth it and understand it is a volunteer position." In light of the recent tone of budget committee meetings and the deliberative session of the school meeting, what are your feelings regarding the need for civility in public discourse? "It is impossible to reach a truly beneficial resolution to any conflict without civility. Respect and tolerance are two values desperately needed to successfully navigate the fiscal challenges we are facing as individuals and as a community. We need to celebrate our differences more and realize that we are capable achieving far more by working together than splintering into disparate self interest groups."

CANDIDATES: BUDGET COMMITTEE
Eight running for four three-year seats
There are nine candidates on the ballot for four three-year seats on the Conway Budget Committee although only eight are actually running. Candidates are Michael Boucher, Brian Charles, Theresa Gallagher, Betty Loynd, Bill Marvel, Terry McCarthy, Maury McKinney and incumbent Linda Teagan. Steven Bush, who filed for the office, attempted to withdraw due to a conflict of interest involving his job as a full-time employee in the school district but was told it was too late to do so. Election is April 12.

My wife Sarah and I are raising our 12-yearold son Theo here and we’re proud to call this community home. "We have been active in the community volunteering for many different organizations including Jen’s Friends, White Mountain Waldorf School, our local libraries, Angels and Elves, Mountain Top Music Center, our local schools, Rockhouse Mountain Property Owners Association, Conway Humane Society and others.

"I am a former nun and have deep faith in our God and respect for His world and His people. My husband, Jim, shares these same feelings and we are very happily married for eight years. "We moved here from Woodbridge New Jersey in July of 2006, and we purchased the lovely Bolduc house in Conway Village. I was a teacher of math and science, grades 5 to 8, for 17 years; many of the parents of my students still keep in touch with me, as well as many former students. They all have thanked me for helping them attain a good education and for preparing them well for high school. "I ran the science fair at our grammar school for several years, and was a judge for the other schools' science fairs. It was a lot of work, but I enjoyed my teaching years. Growing up, I always wanted to be accountant, and so at the age of 40, I attended evening classes at William Paterson University in New Jersey. Six years later I graduated with an accounting degree. For the last several years I have worked as an executive assistant and staff accountant for some very wonderful and successful companies in Maine and New Jersey and I still keep in touch with all of my previous bosses.

Tell us as much as you are comfortable with about your family, work, and history in Conway including volunteering, committee work, or past positions held as a public official. "My husband and I have lived in Conway for 19 years. I have two children who are 15 and 17. I have a master’s degree in nursing and have worked for 30 years in various roles in nursing including in-service instructor, staff nurse, nursing coordinator and nurse manager. I worked 12 years at Memorial Hospital in North Conway. I worked until about six years ago when I left to help take care of my parents who were both ill. Since I have stopped working, I have been very active in the PTSA’s at Pine Tree, Kennett Middle School and Kennett High School. I have been on many committees both in nursing as well as PTSA and Friends of Conway Rec. I also organized fund-raising for the eighth grade Washington DC trip last year." Why are you running? "I am running for the budget committee because I attended the meeting held on Feb. 20. I was one of four community members who watched as the budget committee recklessly slashed the school budget by 11 percent. I observed that the budget committee had 12 elected seats but there were six vacancies. Of the people on the budget committee, most of them are post-retirement, and some of them own some pretty expensive property in Conway. One member did not go to any of the meetings where the principals, police and town officials presented their budgets. Yet this person see LOYND page 11

Bill Marvel
Tell us as much as you comfortable with about your family, work, history in Conway, including volunteering, committee work, or past positions held as a public official. "I have lived for most of my life on Davis Hill in South Conway, where my father and I both grew up. I make my living as an independent scholar specializing in 19th-century American history, at which I work as an editor and a consultant in addition to my own research and writing. I’m currently working on my 15th book. "Between 1980 and 1990 I served as an alternate on the board of adjustment, as a member of the budget committee and the planning board (two terms each), as chairman of the historic district commission, and as vice chairman (if I remember correctly) of the capital improvements committee. I was appointed to fill an unexpired term on the board of library trustees about a decade ago, and I’m now finishing a full term on that same board. "My volunteer history includes working with the local literacy program in the late 1980s, working as a carpenter in the renovation of the Swift River covered bridge, and serving as clerk of the works when Conway’s old fire station was remodeled as Mountain Top Music Center four years ago. I also sat in occasionally for the former curator of the Henney History Room as his health declined." Why are you running? "I was appalled to hear participants in the Coalition for Educational Excellence suggest, at their inaugural meeting, that they should try to pack the budget committee for the sole purpose of approving any budget the school board decided to propose. When those very same people began signing up as candidates (you will recognize them by their references to the children they have in school, or to their reverence for education), I decided that the voters should not be left without alternative candidates." What would you like to accomplish as a budget committee member? "I would be satisfied merely to contribute to a reasoned and dispassionate review of all department budgets that necessarily come under the committee’s scrutiny." see MARVEL page 12

"I am a lifelong resident of Conway. I have been married for 32 years to Frank McCarthy. I'm the mother of three children: Scott McCarthy is recently retired from the United States Marine Corps and is presently in college seeking a degree in Homeland Security; Chad McCarthy is a captain on the Conway Fire Department; and our daughter Sara is employed by the law firm of Cooper, Cargill and Chant. "I do much local volunteer work including: one day weekly at the Gibson Center, two days per week at the Vaughn food pantry, and as needed with the American Red Cross. I am a member of the North Country Federated Republican Women, the Mount Washington Valley Republican Committee and a delegate of the Carroll County Republican Committee. I have been retired from the tourism and hospitality industry for two years." Why are you running? "In an attempt to bring sanity back relative to the cost of government, including education, to the taxpayer." What would you like to accomplish as a budget committee member? "See above." What specific skills do you feel you bring to the position? "Above all, common sense. I also have a great deal of experience in the field of budgets, having been the general manager of one tourism/hospitality corporation and the director of operations for a more diversified hospitality entity." How do you plan to balance the needs of the (town, school, police department) with the needs of the taxpayers? Would you have supported the budget committee’s 11 percent cut of the school budget? "Article 12 of our state constitution states, 'Every member of the community has a right to be protected by it, in the enjoyment of his life, liberty, and property; he is therefore bound to contribute his share in the expense of such protection.'

While standing atop Mount Garfield surrounded by the blazing autumn foliage of the White Mountain National Forest, I realized I was 'home'. It was a moment of certitude that has been reinforced and ripened by living in this community. I live in North Conway with my wife of 14 years and our 12-year-old daughter.

"Volunteering: vice president White Mountain Aquatic Foundation, a 501c3 organization with a mission to build a modern, multiple-pool aquatic facility in the Mount Washington Valley; team leader and board of directors Mountain Rescue Service; board of directors American Mountain Guides Association (secretary and vice president); board of directors, Mount Washington Valley Soccer Club." Why are you running? "Because I think I will do a good job and there is a need. I love living here. I am proud to be a Conway resident. I am not a single-issue, agenda-laden candidate. I believe civil rights necessitate corresponding civil obligations. I believe I have the skills and temperament to be a productive member of the budget committee.

"I currently volunteer for the Mount Washington Harley Owners Group to raise money for scholarships for Kennett High School students." Why are you running? "I am running for the Conway Budget Committee because I believe that the next three to five years will be the most difficult budget challenge the town of Conway has faced in many years. "Likely decreases in federal, state and local revenues will require imaginative ideas to maintain current services." What would you like to accomplish as a budget committee member? "I would consider it a significant accomplishment if the budget committee, town and school officials joined in providing the new and creative ideas needed to deal with the coming budget crisis: for example, consolidation of physical plant to reduce costs so that academics and classroom teachers are priorities. Increasing per-pupil costs, decreasing school enrollment and mediocre test scores are an unacceptable combination." What specific skills do you feel you bring to the position?

give back on a community-wide basis, by sharing the knowledge, care and dedication I have to give. I have a few attributes which may make me a valuable part of this particular committee, and if I get to serve, I hope to play a part in helping Conway and the surrounding towns become an even more equitable, comfortable and prosperous place to live, work and play." What would you like to accomplish as a budget committee member? "I have profound respect for the willingness of the current members to serve their community, and I am interested in working together with them for the good of our community. I have no doubt that changes will come, both in the makeup of the committee and the needs of our town, and I will be doing my very best to make sure the community is made aware of what is happening, why it is happening, and what our choices are. As an active participant in research and decision-making, I hope to play a significant role in shaping smart, forward-thinking policy for our community." What specific skills do you feel you bring to the position? "I have two types of training that will be valuable to the municipal budget committee. "1. I have 27 years of seat-of-the-pants training in budget management. I founded and have owned a niche music industry company since 1984. Starting with a very small amount of money, a little talent and some luck, I have guided this company from a living room operation to one of the three largest in the U.S. I have managed a company with multiple employees through good and bad economic times, and succeeded in creating what amounts to a household name in the segment of the music business that business occupies. "In 2008, I founded North Conway Music Shop, during what seemed to some as a foolish time to start a new business. It is presently a successful small employer here in the valley and continues to achieve exponential growth. "2. I have extensive training as a classical musician. At first, this may not seem so important. Consider this: I have dedicated years to concentrated study of how to listen effectively to others, how to collaborate effectively, how to work as part of a team for the benefit of all, how to buckle down and master what I need to accomplish personally, how to apply my abilities to new ideas and new situations, and perhaps most importantly for this position, how to take criticism and remain positive." How do you plan to balance the needs of the (town, school, and police department) with the needs of the taxpayers? Would you have supported the budget committee’s 11 percent cut of the school budget? "I will not put up with excessive or poorly planned expenses, just as I will not tolerate the miser who would like to help only himself and the rest be damned. "We pay taxes to support a system that will ultimately benefit us, our children, our neighbors and, yes, people with disabilities we will most likely never meet. We do so because our shared community cannot exist without resources — to pave the streets, pay the police, provide assistance and a hundred other expenses we have collectively agreed upon as the foundation of the system we share. "There will be no simple balance between the needs of the town and the needs of the taxpayer. There will be compromise on both sides, and there will be difficult feelings. "I expect my town officials to provide clear reasons and accurate information about what my taxes are going towards. There will be some programs I may not approve of, and some that could
committed would you be? (No answer given.) In light of the recent tone of budget committee meetings and the deliberative session of the

be handled more efficiently, but I understand that consensus government requires mutual trust and mutual give and take. "If I can do just one thing to help our town, it will be to get and provide good, accurate solid information to all. If we are to understand exactly how much we can collectively afford, we need to base it on numbers and not emotions. We should not dare to put a single taxpayer out on the street because they can’t afford to pay their fair share. Neither can we dismiss the obligations of those who would like to pay less than their fair share. "I don't know if I would have supported the 11 percent cut because it appears that the public does not have all the information that was available to the committee. That information is crucial to making a rational decision. Perhaps 11 percent was a rational decision, perhaps not. I believe that town officials should present the rationale behind the decision clearly, so that the public can understand why the committee made the decision that it did. "We owe it to future generations to think clearly about what this town will look like in a year, a decade and beyond. The groundwork for our collective future is being laid right now and we are the stewards of this path." Why do you feel the budget committee has been regarded in a negative light recently? "Based on recently published statements made by municipal budget committee members, it seems likely that they have information that has not been shared with the public. Perhaps that information has indeed been available, but not been paid attention to by the public. In either case, there is a sense that the committee has not been forthcoming about the reasons for its decisions. This has led to suspicion and distrust. "I believe that sharing all the information available, or perhaps presenting this information in a more accessible manner would go a long way toward relieving suspicions about the intentions, integrity and motives underlying the decisions brought forth by this committee. "We need transparency: a sharing of all that is legal to share as quickly and as clearly as possible, in an effort to bring the community into the decision-making process in a more effective manner and to remind us that we are all on the same side." What can be done to improve the budget committee and school board’s relationship? "Transparency will be paramount in repairing and growing the relationship between these two entities. It appears from an outsider’s point of view that the great distrust between the two is because of personal agendas taking precedence over policy and community needs. "This should no longer be allowed to continue. Trust must be built by sharing information and by refocusing each group on the mutual goals of these two committees. "Perhaps a series of joint meetings specifically designed to discuss how to proceed together, rather than focusing on the specifics of the moment, might be in order." Do you feel there are too many seats on the budget committee, just enough or not enough? "If we can fill all the current seats with committed, caring and focused members to represent the various constituencies of the town, then most points of view will have a reasonable role in the decision-making process. The current size was decided upon for a reason, and I have not been able to determine what was behind that reasoning. I will continue to research this, and base my opinion on what I find." Do you like SB2? Please explain why or why not. "SB2 generally means much more scrutiny by taxpayers, and the effects of special interest
groups is much more diluted due to the larger percentage of voters actually voting. That seems very good to me. "SB2 allows every voter to vote via paper ballot, not just a show of hands on all the articles in the town and school district warrants, in the privacy of a voting booth, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on April 12th. Also very good. "Absentee ballots become possible, voters are better informed since they can attend the deliberative session and then have 30 days to get additional information, discuss with other voters, read pro and con articles, view the meeting on our local access channel, and make up their minds before voting without the pressures and intimidation of open voting at public meetings. "Change is never easy, but this appears to be a working system with significant benefits." What experience do you have reviewing budgets? "My understanding of budgeting, accounting and finance is mostly from the school of hard knocks, as well as hands-on sessions with bookkeepers, CPAs, lawyers, and occasional courses on statistics, accountancy, bookkeeping, budgeting, and numerous other business-related topics. "Twenty-seven years ago, while still in college, I founded a business with a small amount of borrowed money. I was able to pay the money back within a year. I grew this company from a living room operation to one of the three largest in the U.S. "In reviewing a budget there are statistics, subjective viewpoints, considerations and obligations, which must be weighed. Of course, there are also times when none of these will show you the correct path to follow, and gut instinct must come to bear. In all of it, I feel that there is an obligation to temper raw numbers with compassion. Having the training to correctly interpret the information and technical details underlying a problem, and the wisdom to make thoughtful, rational, humane, and tempered decisions based on that information is an ideal I strive for." The budget committee has suffered because some members do not attend meetings regularly or have quit before their terms expire. Barring unforeseen dramatic circumstances, how committed would you be? "I bring my full commitment to this position. I am running for a three-year term and expect to meet that obligation." In light of the recent tone of budget committee meetings and the deliberative session of the school meeting, what are your feelings regarding the need for civility in public discourse? "Without civility, we do not have a working civil society. Our recent school budget meeting was a horrendous affair. I don't think that display of raw emotion should be repeated, and I don’t think we should berate each other for the excesses of that meeting. Let's learn from what we did, point our collective compass in a new direction, and move forward. "Given that heated debate will always be a part of an active citizenry, I suggest that we make sure we have an iron-handed moderator who will repeatedly redirect the meeting as necessary. This one element alone would have resulted in a very different experience at the meeting in question. There's a great quote that seems appropriate to this issue: 'Anyone can become angry — that is easy, but to be angry with the right person at the right time, and for the right purpose and in the right way — that is not within everyone's power and that is not easy.' — Aristotle.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Wednesday, April 6, 2011— Page 11
GALLAGHER from page 8
with some great people, and one I truly enjoy! "Some of my volunteer work includes: the Conway Historical Society — recording secretary/board member, tour guide, host; Tech Village Science Fair — judge; MWV Republican Committee — treasurer; MWV Musical Arts — board member; Valley Pride Day, roadside clean-up, The Chili Fest, and many other events; Our Lady of the Mountains Church — Catechism teacher of Grade 7. I have never held public office. This is my first time running." Why are you running? "I am running for office because I believe that, with my past work experience as teacher and later as staff accountant, I can offer some insight on the needs of both school and budget. I am willing to have open discussion with the other members to work at bringing together a successful education program and a balanced budget. It takes good listening skills, respect and sound judgement to make that happen." What would you like to accomplish as a budget committee member? "As a committee member I would like to accomplish the goals of the school budget, by making sure that every child has an opportunity for an 'excellent' education, but without wasteful spending. Right now I believe there are some areas where the budget can be cut. I will work hard to trim the fat, and keep the muscle in the budget. In this world when someone spends more money on anything, they expect a higher quality product. When we see more money being spent on fewer students, I would expect greater achievements by the students who are capable of excellence. As a budget committee member I will work to make the schools accountable for the increased budget; every school will have to present their students' increase in achievements in education. I will want the proof." What specific skills do you feel you bring to the position? "With an accounting background, I know a budget is an important part of controlling spending. I know how to balance a budget, track expenses, do a financial analysis and make decisions based on all of these. I will listen to the needs and goals of the town and work to incorporate those needs into the budget. I will use good communication skills to persuade members to make specific decisions in situations where the need is great. As a teacher for 17 years I know what it takes to 'teach' and offer a quality education to our students. With an understanding of how both sides work I will offer the insight I have into helping the committee make sound decisions." How do you plan to balance the needs of the (town, school, police department) with the needs of the taxpayers? Would you have supported the budget committee’s 11 percent cut of the school budget? "Listening is the first step. As a budget committee member I will work to see that the taxpayers' needs
LOYND from page 8
voted to cut the school budget by 18, 13 and 11 percent. I am running against this incumbent." What would you like to accomplish as a budget committee member? "I would like to the school budget to be presented in a fair manner. $33 million is a large budget, but Conway is only responsible for 48 percent. The sending towns and the state of N.H. pay the rest. The budget committee needs someone who represents the children of this community. I believe that we can present a budget that will take everyone’s needs into account." What specific skills do you bring to this position? "I am very good with numbers. I balance my own budget and I have time to attend the budget meetings." How do you plan to balance the needs of the (town, police department, school) with the needs of the taxpayers? Would you have supported the 11 percent cut of the school budget? "The taxpayers are the town, police and school. If the town manager, the chief of police, and the principals of the schools have gone over their budgets for five months, and they come to the budget committee and say this is what we need, then I believe them. They have the best interests of the people they serve at
are met without wasteful spending. A few examples: The removal of funds for snowplowing along Route 16 caused a problem for many business owners. I would vote to put that back in place and cut somewhere else. With regards to the school, I think some 'tasks' could be done by volunteers. I myself wrote a letter to Mr. Moylan offering to help students with their studies as a volunteer tutor. That never happened. I received an answer stating that they have to use current teaching staff members for tutoring. I believe they were paid, but I was never called to do the work as a volunteer. "In the past I was a very successful tutor. I think the school should find ways to cut expenses and be more open-minded to accept opportunities from volunteers like this. As for the police department, I have the greatest respect for the work they do. None of us put our lives at risk in the line of duty ever day like they do. If they need more equipment or police officers to help make our town safer, I will work diligently to find something else to cut in the budget in order to make that happen. "I would have supported some of the cuts, but not all, especially where it directly involves the children. I can't cover every item in this article, but here are a few: I think there is a lot of wasteful spending on staff. What do we mean by middle school team? And what do they do? If they are not teaching, cut them out. Professional development — I think there is a lot of wasteful spending there. Why do new teachers need support? Cut it. When I was a new teacher I didn't have support. Everyone of us who works in the commercial world doesn't have an extra paid support person! Teacher mentoring program? If you need a mentor, you shouldn't be a teacher. Teachers are suppose to be mentors. And what's wrong with using old furniture? The school is too new to be considered having old furniture! However, I wouldn't cut the bus service to the high school, but maybe there are ways to reduce costs instead of cutting. As a committee member I would think out of the box and investigate less expensive ways to do the same job." Why do you feel the budget committee has been regarded in a negative light recently? "I believe the budget committee, who have given much of their time to work hard at keeping taxes down while satisfying the needs of our town, have been dealt a bad hand. That was the result of the moderator not doing his job at a recent meeting. There should have been more civility at the school budget hearing. No one should have pointed out a single situation or a single person, and no one should have used insulting words when addressing either side. The negative image is a result of the booing and cheering that took place at the town meeting, which should have never been allowed. At the first round, the moderator should have stopped the meeting, even to the point of closing it and postpone for another evening. On the other hand, I think if people on both sides listened respectfully and spoke with tact, the meeting could have been more productive."
What can be done to improve the budget committee and school board’s relationship? "Both sides need to listen with respect, respond with intelligent answers and be open minded. That's what I will encourage as a committee member." Do you feel there are too many seats on the budget committee, just enough or not enough? "I think it is fine as it is, since I have not served on the committee yet. The more members there are, the more insight to needs and situations can be brought forth in the discussions." Do you like SB2? Please explain why or why not. "I do like SB2 because by its nature it gives the voters a chance to review, discuss, question and amend the budget and warrant articles — that's in a perfect world full of respectful and intelligent people! This town needs to improve on working together for the best interests of everyone and not take sides. That's the current downside result of SB2 in our town. What experience do you have reviewing budgets? "In the past as treasurer and staff accountant, I worked on budgets for the homeowners' association and for the companies I worked for in New Jersey. There are two parts to a budget — one part is essential and nothing can be cut; the other part is flexible and can be cut back or increased as the needs arise. It takes good judgment to make sure both the taxpayers and the students are receiving a fair participation in the budgeting process, and a fair share on both sides in the outcome." The budget committee has suffered because some members do not attend meetings regularly or have quit before their terms expire. Barring unforeseen dramatic circumstances, how committed would you be? "Very committed. I would cancel or postpone the activities that I could to attend the meetings. As recording secretary for the Conway Historical Society and the Albany Planning Board, I have never missed a meeting that I knew was taking place." In light of the recent tone of budget committee meetings and the deliberative session of the school meeting, what are your feelings regarding the need for civility in public discourse? "There is a great need for some people who attend these hearings to learn and follow Robert's Rules, and I quote from there: 'The object... is to assist a group to accomplish its work in the most effective manner. Because the right of an individual to do as he or she pleases is incompatible with the interest of the group, there must be rules that to some degree restrain the individual. We enjoy the least of liberty when there is no law, and everyone acts without regard for others, and we know from experience that rules must be consistent.' Robert's Rules, Preface, page xiii. At the next meeting, I would have the moderator spell out the rules — and as soon as they are violated, stop the meeting and remove the individuals."
heart. I absolutely would not have supported the 11 percent cut." Why do you feel the budget committee has been regarded in a negative light recently? "They have been regarded in a negative light because they showed a blatant disregard for education. Some on the budget committee feel that this is a retirement community and they do not care how our children are educated. There are many of us who care about education, and we would like our voices heard on the budget committee." What can be done to improve the budget committee and school board’s relationship? "Elect some different people for the budget committee." Do you feel there are too many seats on the budget committee, just enough, or not enough? Currently there are 17 seats on the budget committee. Only six elected seats were filled as of the last election. In addition to the 12 elected seats, the fire districts each have a representative as well as one selectman and one school board member. I reserve judgment until after this election with all seats filled." Do you like SB2? Why or why not? "No I do not. People should hear the information presented before they vote. With SB2, seasonal residents get a vote when many do not have the community’s best interest at heart. At town meeting, it was
clear where the majority of the people voted." What experience do you have in reviewing budgets? "As a nurse manager at Memorial Hospital I was responsible for managing the department’s budget. I don’t have experience in reviewing town budgets, but as a Conway taxpayer I know the value of the goods I receive. As a nurse I am trained to be a critical thinker and I have experience in prioritizing needs." The budget committee has suffered because some members do not attend meetings regularly or have quit before their terms expire. Barring unforeseen dramatic circumstances, how committed would you be? "I would be extremely committed. I would definitely attend meetings. I think it is extremely unfair that one budget committee member was allowed to vote when she had not attended any meetings." In light of the recent tone of budget committee meetings and the deliberative session of the school meeting, what are your feelings regarding the need for civility in public discourse? "I believe that the budget committee could use someone like Janine McLauchlan as chairperson. The chairperson should insist on civility among the committee members as well as the public. When the committee members get outrageous, unfortunately so does the public."
Page 12 — THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Wednesday, April 6, 2011
MARVELfrom page 9
What specific skills do you feel you bring to the position? "Because of previous experience on the budget committee I am reasonably familiar with the complicated interrelationships of Conway’s numerous municipal entities, and with the various departmental structures. That is particularly true in the case of the school district, to which I have periodically given close attention over the past two decades." How do you plan to balance the needs of the (town, school, police department) with the needs of the taxpayers? Would you have supported the budget committee’s 11 percent cut of the school budget? "I approach municipal services from the more traditional perspective of relative self-reliance. I view certain services as essential, and indispensable, while I feel that many services that are now expected or proposed are really the responsibility of the individual. In the realm of education I have long been convinced that we (as a country and as a district) have sacrificed quality for variety. "With strategic condensation of the curriculum, an 11-percent reduction in the school budget was perfectly feasible. It would actually require a reduction of more than 20 percent to bring Conway closer to the per-student expenditures of other New Hampshire districts. I would rather see that sort of economy achieved through a gradual reduction in superfluous programming, but I understand the frustration that drove the budget committee to that decision." Why do you feel the budget committee has been regarded in a negative light recently? "As I learned in the early 1980s, if the budget committee does its job it will be characterized as the villain by any department for which it has recommended a budget reduction. A sudden surge of attendance at meetings by citizens who have never served on the budget committee (or any other municipal body) made this characterization
much easier to impose, especially when those in attendance had so little perspective on the school board's historic circumvention of budget-committee oversight." What can be done to improve the budget committee and school board’s relationship? "The school board would have to begin the process by actually meeting with the budget committee and respecting its role. That by itself would automatically broaden the pool of budget committee candidates." Do you feel there are too many seats on the budget committee, just enough or not enough? "The present apportionment of seats allows for adequate diversity, and is probably near the optimal number. There may seem to be too many seats because there has always been so much difficulty attracting candidates, but that is a function of community opprobrium that culminated in the disgraceful display of March 9, and of the more general tendency of the various departments — and the school board in particular — to consider the committee irrelevant, and render all its efforts meaningless." Do you like SB2? Please explain why or why not. "I was opposed to SB2, and I maintain that it has failed to give communities the control they sought, although partially because the legislature reduced the super majorities needed for passing bonds in SB2 towns. The ballot vote in the second half of SB2 proceedings does, however, allow some voice to those who were effectively disenfranchised because they were too frail or had too little free time to attend the marathon sessions of the old town-meeting process." What experience do you have reviewing budgets? "I have served on the budget committee before, and for nearly a decade it was part of my job as a reporter to analyze and parse department budgets for the elucidation of the public. Contrary to the absurd suggestion of a purported teacher
OPEN HOUSE
at the annual meeting, any reasonably intelligent person with a head for numbers can understand a department budget, although the Conway School District budget takes a little more work than most." The budget committee has suffered because some members do not attend meetings regularly or have quit before their terms expire. Barring unforeseen dramatic circumstances, how committed would you be? "Unlike some members of the school board, budget committee members cannot usually afford to make the committee their primary job, and I would not criticize them for undertaking that unpaid and thankless responsibility when they still have to miss some meetings in pursuit of their livelihoods. "The greatest criticism, for that matter, has fallen on those who have been able to attend most meetings. Despite a heavy schedule of research travel, in my last three years as a library trustee I have missed only two meetings — far fewer than most other trustees — and I would try to apply that same dedication to the budget committee as long as I belonged to it." In light of the recent tone of budget committee meetings and the deliberative session of the school meeting, what are your feelings regarding the need for civility in public discourse? "Whatever ground rules I might apply to a kitchen-table discussion or an editorial-page debate, our public meetings — and especially our annual meetings — have traditionally been a place to exercise even the most strident disagreement with a measure of good will and empathy. I have come away from many town and school meetings feeling defeated, but never have I walked out of one feeling the disgust that I did after the school meeting of March 9. If a school board member can seriously describe that self-righteous mob as an example of the community 'coming together,' as one of them did, I don't think there is much hope for a return to the friendlier repartee of yore."

LOCKE from page one
Locke, of Redstone, and grandson of Greta Locke, of Conway, has thoroughly enjoyed big league camp, turned some heads, and, again, proved he belongs. "It's been unbelievable," he said by phone Friday. "It's 10 times better than I ever dreamed it could be. I knew it was going to be incredible but it far and away exceeded all of my expectations." Locke has lost 21 pounds in almost 10 weeks in Florida. "It's good in the sense that I came down here at 222 pounds," he said. "I knew I had put some weight on from working out, but I've lost it because it's been so hot here. I think I've retained the muscle. I'm in the best pitching shape I've ever been in my life. I feel good. "I'm hitting anywhere from 91 to 95 miles per hour consistently," Locke continued. "It's similar to where I'd be during the season, but you never, ever see me at 93-95 in the spring, so I'm excited to see where we go from here." Regarded as the top left-handed pitching prospect in the organization, Locke is seen as being on the fast track
to the major leagues as a starting pitcher, which could happen as quickly as June if all falls into place. The Redstone Rocket will open his 2011 season this week pitching for the Altoona Curve, who he helped win the Eastern League crown last fall. He's being billed as the staff ace along with fellow top prospect Bryan Morris. Either could get the ball opening night on Thursday (6:35 p.m.) at Jerry Uht Park in Erie when the Curve take on the SeaWolves. Locke led the Pirates' organization in wins and quality starts last season. He helped the Altoona Curve to win the Eastern League championship in September. For the season, with stops between Bradenton, Fla. (High Class A) and Altoona, where he was promoted in midJuly, Locke once again stayed injury free. He made 27 starts, posted a 12-5 regular season record (the bullpens for both teams failed to hold four leads for him); an overall earned run average of 3.56; 144 innings pitched; 139 hits; 66 runs (57 were earned); 26 walks (he made more starts than walks for the season, a stat he's perhaps most proud of);
struck out 139; and held opposing hitters to a .239 batting average. Locke was a little stronger in the postseason. In two starts, both won by Altoona, he was 1-0; 11.2 innings pitched; scattered nine hits; allowed five runs (only two were earned); walked six; and struck out 13. Altoona went on to lift the Eastern League banner. This spring, Locke was in the major league camp for an entire month of spring training. "Every day you walk into major league camp, you're met by a chef and he asks you what you want for breakfast," Locke said, laughing. "You name it and they make it from scratch for you. There's everything you can imagine, it really is the major league treatment. The other big difference is instead of having teammates my age (23), I've now got guys who are 37 years old as teammates. If I never, ever get to play in the major leagues if I could do spring training every year I'd be thrilled. "I've met so many different people this spring, it's been amazing," he continued. "I met Roy Halladay (Cy Young winner for the

Philadelphia Phillies), David Price (ace of the Tampa Bay Rays pitching staff), and Manny Ramirez (former Boston Red Sox slugger). I've been in this game long enough now to meet people who know other people and I got introduced to these guys, it's so cool. The best way I can say it is I'm living every kids' dream right now. Every kid has the dream to play in the major leagues and I've been able to do it and, yet, I don't feel like I didn't belong here." Locke pitched nine innings for the Pirates before being sent to the minor league complex as expected. He posted an earned run average of 3.00 from those starts. "The first batter I ever faced in my major league career was Vladimir Guerrero (nine-time all -star outfielder)," Locke said. "(Laughing) He got into the batter's box and he just looked like Vladimir Guerrero and I had to realize I'm the guy pitching to him. The first pitch I threw him was a called strike. The next one I threw was hard and off the plate. I thought it was going to hit him in the belly-button but he just flicked it over the first base-

man's head for a single and and he looked at me the whole way as he ran down towards first base almost as if to say, 'That's right, I'm Vladimir Guerrero.' The next hitter I faced was (center-fielder) Adam Jones and I struck him out on three pitches." Locke enjoyed similar success in his lone start of the spring for the Pirates when he faced Toronto and actually struck out four hitters in the first inning. "That was probably my highlight among so many highlights," Locke said. "I struck out the first hitter Rajai Davis on three pitches looking," he said. "The next hitter was Aaron Hill and I had him 1-2 and threw a change-up that was obviously a strike because even Hill started to walk back to the dugout but the umpire called a ball. I ended up walking him. Then I faced Jose Bautista (who hit 54 home runs last year to lead the majors) and struck him out. After that I struck out Travis Snyder on an inside pitch. When I walked back to the dugout everyone said it was pretty cool because you just struck out four guys in an inning. Wearing No. 61 on your back, you're not going to get too many calls from the umps, I was told." Locke met new Toronto manager and former Red Sox pitching coach John Farrell after the game. "He was a really nice guy to meet," he said. "He told me I threw the ball well. When I got sent down I was just like a little kid who wished he had one more present to open, I wish I could have stayed up one more day. I wish I had a video camera on me the whole time so I could bottle it all up and share it with people back home." In 12 innings at the minor league complex (three starts, stretching his arm out from three to four and then to five innings), Locke did not yield an earned run facing other minor leaguers. "I'm throwing the ball fantastic," he said. "My command is really coming together." This spring Locke admits he's been surprised by the number of people from Mount Washington Valley who have come to see him.
"I've seen like 50 people from North Conway and I don't know any of them," he said. "Almost every day I ran into someone who said they were from Conway. It's great to see the support. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it." Locke and his teammates left Florida on Monday heading north to Richmond, Va., for opening day. "I'm ready to go," he said. "I want the ball and want to give my team every change to win." Locke and his Curve teammates received their championship rings last month prior to a spring training contest against the Houston Astros. "The ring is beautiful, beautiful," he said. "It's great to have been a part of a championship team the last two seasons, hopefully we can continue to build on this success." Locke was impressed with new Pirates' manager Clint Hurdle. "He told me, 'There's not a single person in the world who doesn't speak highly of you,'" Locke said. "It feels good to hear that. He'll tell you the truth whether you like it or not; you'll always know where you stand with him. He told us he has one of the best opportunities in all of sports managing the Pirates. He has the opportunity to take one of the worst teams in the league and turn it around. "This is my fifth year in pro ball and I've played on some pretty bad and some pretty good teams," he continued. "I've learned it's a long season, a grind. It's a marathon, not a sprint. You need to go about your business every day and keep working. I want Clint Hurdle to be my manager. I like the way he coaches. This organization knows that I want to be part of the team that turns things around." Locke has some personal goals this season. "I think you have to be realistic with your goals or else you'll never reach them," he said. "My goal is to pitch in the major leagues, and for me I think that's very realistic this season. My biggest goal, and you're going to laugh, is I want to limit the number of see next page

walks I allow (Locke issued the fewest walks of any Pirate starter last year). I don't want to walk anyone because damn if they don't score. "One of the best things I heard this spring came from my pitching coordinator," Locke said. "He told everyone in our organization when he was asked to describe Jeff Locke, 'It doesn't matter if he's playing whiffle ball or Game 7 of the playoffs, all Jeff Locke wants to do is to win and have fun.' I think my numbers will take care of themselves if I stay healthy." The Curve return home for Championship Weekend beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 14 versus Richmond You can follow Locke on Twitter this season at Jeff_Locke "I'll probably end up doing a blog, too," he said. "I can let people know what's coming up and what I'm up to." Altoona is scheduled to play in New Hampshire June 21-23 at the Manchester Fisher Cats. Locke would welcome the opportunity to pitch in the Granite State, but he could very well be in The Show by then. "If I go to Manchester it will be fun to see everyone from home," he said. "Pitching close to home last summer against Portland was great. Some of the media told me afterwards that was the best game they'd ever seen anyone pitch against the Sea Dogs in their park. I hope someone says one day that's the best game they've seen someone pitch in Pittsburgh. That's my hope." The brightest stars will shine in the Eastern League's All-Star Game, hosted by the New Hampshire Fisher Cats at Manchester's Northeast Delta Dental Stadium on July 13. "If I'm still in Altoona, it would definitely be a goal to get selected for that game," Locke said. Yet to throw a first pitch in the regular season, Locke said it's already been a season to remember. "It's almost like my career has started all over after being in major league camp," he said. "It's like I got a new toy and I don't want to put it down."
BOUCHER from page one
Boucher is running for both selectman and a three-year budget committee seat. “So what? I got arrested. Whoopee,” Boucher said. “People have things go wrong.” He was just moving the metal out of the way of his truck, he said, but he was accused of stealing. He initially pleaded not guilty, but he changed his plea to guilty “just to shut them up, basically,” he said. “I was going to get railroaded,” he said. “It was pretty cut and dried.” There were five or six people who were all prepared to testify against him, he said. He was found guilty and fined $500, $300 suspended pending good behavior. A $40 administrative fee was added to the remaining fine, which he paid through community service. “I found Mr. Boucher punctual and hard working,” parks and recreation department director John Eastman

said in a letter to the court. Boucher worked with snow removal and general maintenance with the department. One of the bail conditions prior to Boucher’s trial was he would not be allowed on transfer station property or allowed contact with any of the employees. He had to request a bail modification to allow him “to enter the transfer station for the sole purposes of his refuse,” with police approval, according to court documents. Boucher said his arrest and conviction of theft against the town have no bearing on why he is running for seats on the select board and the budget committee. “That’s not the way it is at all,” he said. “This whole town is screwed up, that’s why.” The town has become a tourist attraction, he said, instead of a viable community. “I can remember when this was just a town,” he said. “We need to bring the businesses back into town, get rid of the tourists.” “It’s dangerous, folks,” said Rose adding officials in Madison and Tamworth support rumble strips but Conway officials oppose them. see RUMBLE STRIPS page 16

budget cut to a lesser degree of 3 to 5 percent." Why do you feel the budget committee has been regarded in a negative light recently? "The budget committee being regarded in a negative light is an arguable conclusion. The common man taxpayer may not agree with that conclusion. Many believe that the budget committee did no more than what their job called for." What can be done to improve the budget committee and school board’s relationship? "I believe the school board is made up of too many individuals with ties to the teaching profession and therefore the teachers' union. I also believe that the school board relies too heavily on the, often biased, advise of the superintendent of schools. If the school board was made up of more individuals who were truly concerned about the cost of education and where the money ultimately comes from rather than just the education side without thought one as to where the money comes from, the two TEAGAN from page 9
"I believe that balancing the interests of the various groups in the budget process is best achieved by a common understanding of the precarious revenue situations facing federal, state and local governments. Therefore I support the reduction in the school budget voted by the budget committee. The taxpayers of Conway are also in a precarious financial situation." Why do you feel the budget committee has been regarded in a negative light recently? "I do not believe the budget committee is regarded in a negative light. Anyone who has watched the meetings appreciates the amount of work done by the committee, its concern for academic excellence, efficient town government and regard for the taxpayer." What can be done to improve the budget committee and school board’s relationship? "If the budget committee and the school board joined in developing a fiveto 10-year plan focusing on academics, reduction of non-teaching employees and consolidation of physical plant, the two groups would find they have a lot in common." Do you feel there are too many seats on the budget committee, just enough or not enough? "I do not see a problem with the number of seats on the budget committee."

"Yes. It gets more of the citizenry involved." What experience do you have reviewing budgets? "See above." The budget committee has suffered because some members do not attend meetings regularly or have quit before their terms expire. Barring unforeseen dramatic circumstances, how committed would you be? "Totally committed or I would not have signed up." In light of the recent tone of budget committee meetings and the deliberative session of the school meeting, what are your feelings regarding the need for civility in public discourse? "Civility is an absolute must. We also need a strong and knowledgeable moderator." Do you like SB2? Please explain why or why not. "SB2 cannot be the answer if default budgets are higher than initial budgets and per-pupil costs increase as the number of students decreases." What experience do you have reviewing budgets? "I have worked on budgets at the antitrust division of the Justice Department, the Federal Communications Commission, the Massachusetts Cable Television Commission, private law practice and as a former finance committee member, selectman and state representative." The budget committee has suffered because some members do not attend meetings regularly or have quit before their terms expire. Barring unforeseen dramatic circumstances, how committed would you be? "I do not anticipate any future commitments that would interfere with my service on the budget committee." In light of the recent tone of budget committee meetings and the deliberative session of the school meeting, what are your feelings regarding the need for civility in public discourse? "I am sure everyone supports civility in public discourse. It would be helpful if speakers actually stuck to the issues being discussed rather than wandering off to personal comments."

Cost may also prohibit rumble strips from being installed on Route 16. New Hampshire’s budget is tight. Inflation and conflicts overseas have caused the price of asphalt to “sky rocket,” said Grandmaison. Several local resurfacing projects have been put on hold. Projects haven’t been cut yet, but the department is prioritizing projects in case money isn’t available. RUMBLE STRIPS from page 15
Rumble strips don’t just alert distracted and sleepy drivers. They also help orientate motorists during snow storms when the center line is hard to see. Albany resident Dorothy Solomon described coming home to Albany on a “miserable snowy night” from a trip to Dover. The rumble strips alerted them when they drifted over the center line. “Without them, God knows where we would have been,” said Solomon who is a county commissioner. In addition to making noise, rumble strips create a vertical face that reflects headlights, which makes the center line easier to see, said Grandmaison. But Albany resident Howard Hatch felt rumble strips would actually make things worse. Hatch has lived on Route 16 in Albany for 25 years. Hatch took a reporter for a tour of Route 16 on Tuesday morning. A major problem with Route 16 is that in many places the shoulders are too narrow. He pointed out several places where the road meets dropoffs, steep embankments, or big snow banks. In some places, the shoulders are only a few inches wide and cracks are spreading close to the white line. Motorists, waiting in traffic while trying to make left hand turns, are in danger of being rear ended because there’s no way for vehicles coming up behind to get around in some places, said Hatch. One particularly bad spot is turning left on to Washington Hill Road in Tamworth. Hatch also believes the state ought to consider a caution light at the intersection of Route 16 and 113 East, near Coleman’s. Wide shoulders are especially critical if rumble strips are to be added, said Hatch. When a driver hits a rumble strip, his or her reaction is to turn away. Wide shoulders would provide a margin of error. Now the roads are so narrow that a driver might go off into a ditch or hit an embankment. Under a stretch of Route 16, there are large concrete pads. Those pads make a poor base for rumble strips. The edges of the concrete pads are where there are horizontal cracks across the pavement, said Hatch. Hatch was also worried about the noise that rumble strips would generate. A few other residents also complained that shoulders of Route 16 were too narrow. Other concerns included lack of passing lanes and incidents of road rage. Grandmaison had said shoulders need to be at least four feet wide
for the road to accommodate rumble strips. There are several other criteria to determine if rumble strips are needed and feasible on a highway. Those criteria include speeds over 50 mph, traffic volume of over 5,000 vehicles per day, good pavement condition, the minimum depth of wearing course (top layer of pavement) must be 1.25 inches thick. Exceptions can be made with approval from the chief engineer. Route 16 has speeds between 30 and 55 mph and traffic volumes between 7,500 and 11,000 vehicles per day, according to Grandmaison. Hatch said although the Mount Washington Valley is a tourist destination, no good roads lead there. “They are all junk,” said Hatch. Cost may also prohibit rumble strips from being installed on Route 16. New Hampshire’s budget is tight. Inflation and conflicts overseas have caused the price of asphalt to “sky rocket,” said Grandmaison. Several local resurfacing projects have been put on hold. Projects haven’t been cut yet, but the department is prioritizing projects in case money isn’t available. The federal government does give about $5 million in reimbursement to the state for low-cost safety improvements. In an interview, Grandmaison said there is money in the budget to install rumble strips along the corridor in question. However, there’s no money for shoulder widening and increasing the pavement thickness. ”Since the rumble strips do not have to be installed all at once, I need to complete a few field reviews in order to determine if there are any sections that can be completed this year,” said Grandmaison. Residents at the meeting recalled that the state promised a Route 16 upgrade for years until about 2006, when the money was apparently cut. Center-line rumble strips cost $2,000 per mile and shoulder rumble strips cost $1,300 per mile. Centerline rumble strips cost more because there's a need to pay for traffic control. Officials in several New Hampshire towns have been pleased with the rumble strips on their highways. Those towns are Hopkinton, Milford, Milton and Wakefield. Center-line rumble strips have already been installed on U.S. 202 and New Hampshire Route 9 in Henniker and Hopkinton, New Hampshire Route 16 from Rochester to Ossipee, New Hampshire 101 in Milford and Amherst, and New Hampshire 111 in Hudson and Windham. "I will be back in the future and hopefully I'll have some better news," said Grandmaison.

THE ENTREPRENOLOGIST
Promoting business in mud, er, lilac season BY MICHAEL KLINE Case study: Imagine you were responsible for marketing a destination resort somewhere in the mountains. This imaginary place is beautiful every season of the year. Outdoor activities abound most of the year and indoor activities have proven very successful in attracting visitors as well. Today, the only really slow season is spring. Historically, three time frames were very slow for business — generally, in between skiing and hiking, waiting for foliage, and after foliage but before skiing. Why is there now only one slow season remaining, and how would you market it? The first question I would ask is what has happened to cause the slow fall dates to get busy and why is spring still slow? Years ago, some very community-minded folks brought the Mud-bowl Michael Kline to town, scheduled soon after Labor Day — the traditional end of summer vacation. At the same time, travel trends changed and people began to take several shorter vacations throughout the year instead of taking two weeks or more all at once. Building on the more frequent weekend trips, more activities were created by locals, like the Bark in the Park, the Carroll Country Dog Show, Pow-Wow, and others. These days, it’s difficult to plan another event for a September weekend; it feels a lot like summer. I remember booking a group trip to Jackson for the first weekend in November. The hotel practically gave us the rooms to fill up during such a slow time. Retailers of course will tell you that the first two weeks of November now compete with, and sometimes beat sales for Thanksgiving weekend, thanks to the hard work and genius of the outlet malls and chamber of commerce marketing. So if activities fill up September, and shopping and events fill up November, what could we do with spring? First up, I suggest we lose the term Mudseason — if you were a butcher, you wouldn’t call your fresh-cut, grass fed, organic, shadegrown, free range, angus beef “dead cow” would you? Why do we call this beautiful time of new life, fresh beginnings and renewal — mud season? Who named an entire season on the only negative aspect we can think of? We don’t call ski-season “Freeze-to-death-and-slip-andfall-on-your-butt-season!” We don’t call foliage season “Everything-dies-and-become-ugly-season!” The chamber has used the term “Bud to Blossom,” which I must admit, sounds better than mud-black fly season. Spring is when everything becomes new and beautiful again. It’s a time for new life and new growth; which can be speaking of plant life, wildlife, or your own personal growth. Like the folks who came before them, communityminded locals are busy promoting spring as a new time to enjoy life and to enjoy our valley. This year, we’re calling May Kindness Month see KLINE page 21

Hannaford to donate $10,000 to 4 local nonprofits April 9 BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — North Conway Hannaford celebrated the completion of upgrades at the store Saturday, April 2. The grand opening featured giveaways, sampling and more throughout the store, according to Matt Paul, senior external communications specialist for Hannaford Supermarkets of Scarborough, Maine. The store is next scheduled to host a “Close to Home” local ven-
dors’ day from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 9, during which samples of locally-made products will be featured. Store manager Jeffrey Cox also says that the store at 10:30 a.m. on that day will donate $10,000 to local non-profits, including Jen’s Friends, the Gibson Center, Tin Mountain Conservation Center and Friends of Tuckerman Ravine. A free health screening is scheduled for Saturday, April 30, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The six-month upgrade was
the first since 1999, Paul said. The store was built in 1980 when the Mountain Valley Mall opened. Paul and Cox said the renovations at the 52,000-square-foot store consist of: • expanded center store shelving. • the addition of 23 doors of frozen food cases. • the addition of space in the dairy case area. • a new roof.
father, Jim Lees, of the 58,000 square-foot Willow Common retail complex — said he is on the verge of signing a new lease with an undisclosed restaurant that is interested in moving into where Marcello’s Italian Bistro is now located. “I am not at liberty to say at this point, due to a non-disclose clause, but we do have a res-
taurant lined up with a wealth of experience in opening restaurants. They want to be up and running prior to summer,” said Lees, who said he plans to break up the 10,000-square foot space now occupied by the Italian Bistro and will convert it into different, smaller units.

He also said he one of the prospective new tenants would like to open a wholesale bakery there. “We’re making the kitchen smaller. So, we have two spots empty — but I have no problem selling spaces. We’re 80 to 90 percent full,” said Lees. Vito Marcello said last week that he is moving back to the original site of Bellini’s on Seavey Street once his five-year lease expires at Willow Common May 31.
Both Lees and Vito Marcello say they are parting company on “good terms.” “This is mutually acceptable,” Lees said. Said Marcello, “My five-year lease is up at Willow Common, so that is why I am doing this now.” Marcello said he will have more to say about his plans for the old Seavey Street site next month upon his return from a business trip to Italy. Originally based in Rhode Island three generations ago, Bellini’s first opened at the Seavey Street site in

Lees is a member of the Conway Planning Board and is one of nine candidates running for selectman in Conway in April. He said he and his father purchased the complex at 1857 White Mountain Highway in 2007. The complex of shops formerly was established as a condominium prior to Lees’ ownership, but Lees said he obtained approval from the planning board at its March 24 meeting to convert them to one tax bill through a consolidation. “We are going from 32 tax bills to one,” said Lees. Lees said one of the vacancies is the space formerly occupied by Vinter’s Cellar, which has relocated to North Conway Village. Lees said he is in litigation with that business. In addition to the Italian Bistro, other businesses located there include Cinemesque Home Theatre Company, the UPS Store, Beemer’s Cleaners 24-Hour Laundromat, M&D Productions Community Theatre, Sunset Interiors and Discount Mattresses, Curves, Little Off the Top Hair Salon and Nail Care. It also includes 18 apartments, the Lofts at Mountain High Marketplace. For further information, call Yellow Mountain Realty at 356-2980.

MARK ON THE MARKETS
Alpha? BY MARK PATTERSON
Alpha has several definitions, but the one I want to focus on is the definition as it relates to an investment portfolios return or yield. The short definition is: A measure of a portfolio’s return in excess of the market return, after both have been adjusted for risk. From an investors perspective, a portfolio of investments can be placed in their account to sit and hopefully appreciate in time. A benchmark for performance can be used to test the performance of the portfolio verses say the S&P 500 if in stocks or stock mutual funds. The S&P 500 is probably the most common index to measure against because it is mostly U.S. and International large cap stocks, and there are 500 of them as opposed to only 30 Dow stocks. Many retail investors accept the returns that the market gives them, and often times under-perform the market because of high fees in their annuity or mutual funds. Institutions and some retail investors have set aside a portion of their portfolio to add that additional return or miti-
gate market risk. That in a nutshell is what you may hear as referred to “adding alpha” to the portfolio. If the S&P500 were up 8 percent and your portfolio was up 10 percent, you beat the market by 2 percent. If the S&P500 was down 12 percent and your portfolio was down only 10 percent, you still beat the market probably through the use of active management and you still gained alpha. As an example, an alpha trade that I have used successfully in the past is: Sell naked puts on the VXX when the VIX or volatility indicator gets very low. VXX is an exchange traded fund (ETF) that measures volatility. When volatility gets very low, like now, it is usually a good time to buy the VXX. But to add a slightly different twist, I may sell “Put” options on the VXX and collect the premium that someone is paying you that is buying that “Put.” Typically I keep this trade very shortterm. If the VXX falls below my strike price at expiration, then I get VXX “Put” to me at the market price. see PATTERSON page 22

— sandwiched between Valley Pride Day, which is always the first Saturday in May when more than 1,000 volunteers go out and clean up the entire valley and finish with a big celebration. This year, May ends with Kindness Weekend happening coinciding with Memorial Day weekend. Kindness weekend will feature author and speaker Michael Chase, founder of The Kindness Center and a day of volunteers fanning throughout the valley committing random acts of kindness, followed by a rally back at Schouler Park. Memorial Day weekend is also the grand opening of Mount Cranmore as a yearround attraction, which is a big deal in my opinion. May also brings us Mother’s Day, a home show, another home and Garden Show, and events all over the valley. The MWV Chamber of Commerce

Mount Washington Valley Green Team Chair Rob Burbank (left) presents Cormack Construction Management, Inc. President Gordon Cormack with a certifi cate of appreciation and the use of two garden plots in the Green Team’s Community Garden in recognition of the company’s renewed support as the Green Team’s Charter Sponsor.

Cormack Construction Management renews as Green Team charter sponsor
The Mount Washington Valley Green Team this week expressed its gratitude for the continued support of Charter Sponsor Cormack Construction Management, Inc. in helping the team achieve its goals of promoting ecological sustainability to benefit local businesses, residents and visitors. Committed to environmentally sustainable operations and promotion of “green” building techniques, the company’s focus on minimizing environmental impacts makes it a great fit as the team’s Charter Sponsor, said Green Team Chair Rob Burbank. “Cormack Construction Management was one of the first Valley businesses to support the team’s work, and we are thrilled they have renewed their sponsorship for 2011,” he said. “We recognize the Green Team’s efforts are aimed at working toward an environmentally sustainable community. We both have the same goal,” said Gordon Cormack, president of Cormack Construction Management, Inc. One hundred percent of homes built by Cormack Construction since 2008 are EnergyStar homes. These homes are designed to save customers thousands of dollars in fuel and electricity costs over their lifetime, all while reducing carbon output and climate impacts. Since going green, the company has enjoyed a savings of $2,000 per year in electricity costs. They significantly decreased electrical usage in their wood shop by 53 percent, just by making some simple changes that required little or no upfront investment. The office has also decreased its electrical usage by 49 percent, which translates to ongoing savPATTERSON from page 20
That is OK because I would have bought it there anyway. If the VXX closes above my strike price I just keep the premium and look for the next good setup. This may sound complicated, and it is unless you have the desire to understand this trade. Let me caution you that your broker or advisor may not have experience with options or active portfolio management, so do not assume
ings of money, and energy and carbon year after year. The company also enjoys savings by reusing and recycling. In addition to recycling the basics, “each job has a deconstruction and/or recycling plan,” explains the company’s environmental coordinator, Colleen Cormack. “With each new job, the options grow. Three years ago, true recycling of construction debris was not an easy task in our region. Now that we know what the new options are, it’s really quite simple.” Cormack Construction Management is a member of the Green Building Council. The company also is a member of the Aspiring Leaders Program with the Department of Environmental Services by committing to continuing energy reduction within the company and for their clients. Gordon Cormack is a Certified Green Professional, and two employees have achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Accredited Professional certification. View Cormack’s portfolio at www.cormackconstructionmanagement.com. A committee of the Mt. Washington Valley Preservation Association in affiliation with the Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce, the nonprofit Mt. Washington Valley Green Team was developed to act as a catalyst to facilitate, educate, promote, and encourage sustainable green business practices that will lead to positive, measurable business, community, and environmental results.

LIBRARY CONNECTION
Spiritual cinema series continues
The Eaton Satsang in cooperation with the Conway Public Library continues to offer a series of films with spiritual themes. On Tuesday, April 12, at 6:30 p.m. the selection is “The Pandora Project.” The film takes the audience on an internal journey to discover the instigator of personal pain - the Ego. How can we switch the frequency of our inner voice away from the physical, selfinvolved ego to the inner voice of a higher self? Are you ready to wake up that higher self? The film includes interviews with masters such as Eckhart Tolle and the Dalai Lama. The spiritual film series is free and open to the public and runs through the month of April on Tuesdays. Davy Sturtevant at open mic The featured artist for the Conway Public Library’s April Open Mic Night on Monday, April 11, is singer/songwriter and musical virtuoso Davy Sturtevant. He currently plays with two bands – Glazed Beat and the Blues Side — as well as with various area performers. At two former open mic nights, he switched easily from guitar to mandolin to electrified violin and shared finely crafted originals that shine with truth. Davy has danced with his own demons, and his songs are both expressions of his despair and affirmations of triumph over crippling bi-polar disease. see LIBRARY page 25

VA expands services at Conway clinic CONWAY — As a result of recent talks between local veterans and Department of Veterans Affairs officials from the VA Medical Center in Manchester, the VA outpatient clinic in Conway is implementing new services, beginning this week. On Feb. 17 and March 19, representatives from the Manchester Veterans Affairs Medical Center visited Conway to meet with elected officials, veteran service organization representatives, and enrolled and non-enrolled veterans to discuss their concerns about operations at the Conway Veterans Affairs outpatient clinic. In a press release, following the event, the medical center announced a number of new services, including the addition of a clinical pharmacist to talk to veterans about medications, weight management classes via teleconferencing, additional social work and eligibility representative staffing to help veterans understand and access their benefits and increased medical staff. According to the press release, “Leadership at the Manchester VAMC is hoping to have a new physician (MD) as a primary care provider at the clinic in June.” On the first Thursday of the month, starting on April 7, there will be a clinical pharmacist available at the Conway Community-Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) to speak with veterans regarding their medications. Appointments will be scheduled between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. A clinical referral is required to meet with the clinical pharmacist and interested veterans should speak with their VA primary care provider. Additionally, on Wednesday, April 20, May 18 and June 15 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., veterans will be able to “walk in” and speak with the chief pharmacist regarding any medication issue on a first-come, firstserved basis. A scheduled appointment is not required for this consultation.
Starting in May on the third and fourth Wednesday of each month, veterans at the Conway CBOC can participate in weight management classes at the Manchester VA Medical Center via clinical video teleconferencing. Veterans will be able to “attend” the MOVE (VA weight management program) from the conference room in the Conway CBOC. The first classes start on May 18 and 25. A clinical referral is required to participate in the MOVE program and interested veterans should speak with their VA primary care provider. A VA eligibility representative will be at the Conway CBOC on the second Friday of each month from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. starting in April. A health benefits advisor will be available to meet with veterans who have questions about their eligibility status for VA services. Starting Friday, April 8,veterans can be seen on a firstcome, first-served basis, no appointment is necessary. Primary care social work services will be available at the Conway CBOC on the second Tuesday of each month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. beginning in April. A Primary Care Social Worker can assist veterans experiencing economic instability, help with supportive services, provide assistance with understanding VA benefits and services they may be eligible for, and referrals to VA and community-based programs. Additionally a primary care social worker can assist with the completion of advanced directives, referrals for Social Security and advice for long term care nursing home placement. These services will be available starting April 12. Appointments are desired but not required and interested veterans should speak with their primary care provider. Veterans who have enrolled in My HealtheVet, ( www.myhealth.va.gov ) can now send a message to see CLINIC page 28

Eaton Community Circle meets April 18
Again this year, the Eaton Conservation Commission has funds available to pay part of the cost for Eaton children between the ages of 4 and 16 to attend Tin Mountain Conservation Center summer camps. If you are interested in taking advantage of this offer, please contact Judy Fowler at 447-2828 until May 7. Both Tin Mountain camp brochures are available at Eaton Village Store over by the newspapers. Attention Eaton Community Circle members: It is time for the first meeting of the year. It will be held at Jeanne Hartman’s house on Monday, April 18, at 7 p.m. Hope everyone can be there as there is a lot of planning to do. A phone scam has now reached parts of Eaton. The phone will start ringing all day starting at 9 a.m., and ring about every 45 minutes all day. If you answer, no one is there. This can become very nerve wracking to say the least. The fraud line at the telephone company says that the calls are coming from a phone bank (autodial) in India. The telephone numbers were stolen from AARP. If connection is made when one of their people is available, they try to sell you a scam. Otherwise, the from preceding page

Lovell United Church of Christ Youth Group presents Souper Sunday April 10 Bingo will begin at the VFW Hall on Friday April 8 unless we have another blizzard, starting at 6:30 p.m. On April 9, a very special man will celebrate his birthday. This man has been a mentor for me from the very beginning, always urging me on, to continue to build my column. He is a man that is respected throughout the towns of Lovell and Fryeburg, everyone knows his name. I’m not sure how old he is and if I knew wouldn’t tell but he still plays golf and still love tennis and attends all the athletic events at the Academy. I couldn’t let his birthday go by without acknowledging how proud I am to be able to call Dave Mason friend. Don’t forget that the Lovell United Church of Christ Youth Group will be holding the annual “Souper Sunday” on Sunday, April 10, after morning services. This is the chance to bring out that favorite receipt for soups, chowders or stews. If you don’t want to enter as a contender join others in tasting and voting, it is a contest. The young people are using this events as a fund raiser for the American Cancer Society s Relay for Life. Another date to put on your calendar if you have children fifth grade and under is April 16 when the Lovell United Church of Christ will be holding Egg-citement. This Easter tradition of the church is one that all the children look forward to. There will be crafts, games, door prizes and of course, an eggs hunt. All kids in the age group are invited to have some fun and yummy refreshment will finish off a great morning. In the spirit of Easter, the Lovell United Church of Christ Mission Committee will hold an Easter bake sale on Saturday, April 23. With all the spring colors can you imagine how bright and beautiful some of the creations, cakes, cookies and other treats will look decorated for the season. This is a first-time event for the ladies and will run from 9 a.m. to noon. The Thrift Shop at the Lovell United Church of Christ will be holding a $1-a-bag sale from April 11 to April 30. The racks are still full of winter clothes and remember even though it won’t stop snowing spring is here. This is the chance to get some bargains for next winter, in July. On Tuesday April 12 at 7 p.m. The Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library April speaker will be local resident Norm Hodgkins. Norm has had 32 years working in the Weather Service with the last 17 locally in Portland. He will share his experience through the many years he was involved in his profession including the changes in how the forecasting of weather has evolved over the years. Many a day you can see Norm at one of the Library computers
checking the many web sites for the local weather. With his expertise he’ll share the better web sites with the audience. In a state like Maine, knowing the weather is very important, especially for those who travel to work during the winter months. With all the weather men on television it certainly has changed. Everyone is invited to attend with refreshments following. The Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library tried to introduced a new program to the Library’s roster last month but it had to be canceled because of, what else, snow. This program, family play time allows the mothers, fathers, or caregivers and children living in the area to meet and enjoy each others company. This gives the children an opportunity to be with other children as well as the parents to get to know each other. All preschool and younger children are invited to attend in the company of an adult on Thursday, April 14, starting at 10:30 a.m. Many of these same aged children will attend school together for 12 years in their future so this program will give the kids a head start on knowing each other. The library is looking for friendly used toys. From the many cars surrounding the Charlotte Hobbs Library it looks like there are many people in the area taking advantage of the landscaping course with Barbara Murphy from the Oxford County Extension. For those who missed the first meeting there’s still room for more on Thursday April 7 when the topic will be Right Plant/ Right Place and what invasive plants to avoid. This program is free and starts at 12:30 pm and if you’re interested you can call the library at (207) 925-3177. The adult book discussion group continues on Monday, April 11, at 1 p.m. The book for discussion will be "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. If you are interested in joining the group to discuss this book first published in 1960 and made into a very profound movie you can call the library and talk to Rosie at (207) 9253177 and she’ll help you get the book to read. One of the most popular programs at the New Suncook School is Alternative Learning Day. This is when many interesting people introduce to the students different crafts, successful occupations like being a fireman or Maine State trooper or just finger painting. The PTA is always looking for people with different skills to introduce them to the children. If anyone would like to share those skills they can contact the school at 1-207-925-6711. I’d like to wish a Happy Birthday on April 9 to Roberta Bennett and thank her for her wonderful daughter. I’d also like to wish a Happy Birthday to Debbie and Norris April 19. Does this mean I have to bake a cake Norris?

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis show up strong. Everyone knows that you’re in control of your own scene. When others ask for your opinion, advice and help, you’ll know you’ve made the impression you set out to make. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Check your state of mind before you walk in the door, pick up the phone or start up the computer. Control the image you are projecting, and you will control your destiny. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The reason you are working so hard is because you want to give the world something from you that is the best of its kind. You will succeed in this noble cause; however, it will take more time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll ask questions, not because you are interested in the answer, but because you want to build a rapport with the other person. Just be sure to really listen to the response you get, and you’ll succeed in this aim. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). For what you want to accomplish, you will need quality support and in greater numbers. Get dressed up and go out with the purpose of meeting your future team. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 6). You will happily meet your own high standards of personal achievement, leading the way with your trademark qualities of respect and good humor. This month presents the opportunity to uplift your family through improved home economics. The events of May broaden your intellect and skills. June brings an exciting win. Pisces and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 19, 10, 41 and 7.
Get Fuzzy
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You deserve to be heard and considered. Deliver your message at an optimum time. Avoid afternoon appointments. And make sure that you are not the last one on the agenda. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your social life gets a cosmic boost. You will be more comfortable than ever mingling in groups. Your buoyant humor and enthusiasm will sparkle up the room. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The bustle that once energized you is turning into a grind. You will thrive after a period of quiet seclusion. Tranquility will recharge you. Arrange for a solitary retreat in your near future. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You know the facts, and you have a definite opinion. For these reasons, you will be invited to share in a public forum. You’ll make an accurate prediction that will further enhance your reputation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Contrary to what the 10-year-olds of the world believe, there are no “take backs.” Once words are delivered, they cannot be retrieved. With this in mind, you will be extra-careful with today’s communication. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be in the mood to stir the pot. However drawn you feel toward controversial, provocative and mischievous ideas, avoid sensitive areas of communication. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve already had the experience of being thrown to the lions, and you do not care to repeat it. This is a day to stick with what you know and work strictly with trusted allies. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You

Henson and four Inuits became the first men to reach the North Pole. On this date: In 1830, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was organized by Joseph Smith in Fayette, N.Y. In 1862, the Civil War Battle of Shiloh began in Tennessee as Confederate forces launched a surprise attack against Union troops, who beat back the Confederates the next day. In 1896, the first modern Olympic games formally opened in Athens, Greece. In 1917, Congress approved a declaration of war against Germany. In 1945, during World War II, the Japanese warship Yamato and nine other vessels sailed on a suicide mission to attack the U.S. fleet off Okinawa; the fleet was intercepted the next day. In 1965, the United States launched the Intelsat I, also known as the “Early Bird” communications satellite, into orbit. In 1971, Russian-born composer Igor Stravinsky, 88, died in New York City. In 1985, William J. Schroeder (SHRAY’dur) became the first artificial heart recipient to be discharged from the hospital as he moved into an apartment in Louisville, Ky. In 1994, the presidents of Rwanda and Burundi were killed in a mysterious plane crash near Rwanda’s capital; widespread violence and killings erupted in Rwanda over claims the plane had been shot down. One year ago: The White House announced a fundamental shift in U.S. nuclear strategy that called the spread of atomic weapons to rogue states or terrorists a worse threat than the nuclear Armageddon feared during the Cold War. Former Soviet diplomat Anatoly Dobrynin, 90, died in Moscow. Actor Corin Redgrave, 70, died in London. Former chief Wilma Mankiller, the first female leader of the Cherokee Nation, died in Oklahoma at age 64. Today’s Birthdays: Nobel Prize-winning scientist James D. Watson is 83. Composerconductor Andre Previn is 82. Country singer Merle Haggard is 74. Actor Billy Dee Williams is 74. Actor Roy Thinnes is 73. Movie director Barry Levinson is 69. Actor John Ratzenberger is 64. Actress Marilu Henner is 59. Olympic bronze medal figure skater Janet Lynn is 58. Actor Michael Rooker is 56. Rock musician Warren Haynes is 51. Rock singer-musician Frank Black is 46. Author Vince Flynn is 45. Actress Ari Meyers is 42. Actor Paul Rudd is 42. Actor-producer Jason Hervey is 39. Rock musician Markku Lappalainen (mar-KOO’ lap-uh-LAN’-en) is 38. Actor Zach Braff is 36.

Help Wanted by Abigail Van Buren
ATTRACTION TO OTHER WOMEN STOPS MAN SHORT OF ALTAR
DEAR ABBY: I have been dating a wonderful woman I’ll call “Shannon” for a year and a half. She has most things that I want in a partner, and I often feel she’s better than I deserve. We’re in our early 30s, and Shannon is saying she will soon need some kind of idea where we are going in the future. I’m having trouble with the notion of committing to her forever because I’m still attracted to other women. (I haven’t been involved with anyone else since starting to date her.) More worrisome, I’m afraid I’ll meet someone I’m more attracted to a few years down the road. How can I be sure that Shannon will make me happier than anyone else I might meet in the future? -- CONFLICTED IN WASHINGTON STATE DEAR CONFLICTED: You say Shannon has “most” things you want in a partner. Yet I sense that you’re not as physically attracted to her as you think you should be. If this woman does not appeal to you, then face it -- she’s not for you. Of course, regardless of how attractive one’s partner is, there are no guarantees that anyone -- male or female -- won’t meet someone who is different and appealing at some point in the future. But those who are mature and committed usually realize they have enough invested emotionally in their marriage and children that they can resist temptation. It’s called being an adult. DEAR ABBY: At least once a week my boss and I drive together from our office to meetings throughout town. She always insists on driving. My problem is, she drives erratically and I often feel in danger with her behind the wheel. Not only does she swerve in and out of lanes without signaling, she is often talking on her cell phone (which is not illegal in our
state). I’d be happy to drive. I have a comfortable, reliable car and a safe driving history. I have offered, “I’d be glad to drive so you’ll be free to give your full attention to important phone calls.” None of my efforts has worked. I don’t want to be rude or insulting -- and certainly don’t want to create an awkward situation with my boss -- but I don’t want to keep putting myself at risk with her terrible driving. I’d be grateful for some advice. -- RIDING SHOTGUN IN MIAMI DEAR RIDING SHOTGUN: It’s time for another -- more direct -- chat with your boss. You should not have to worry every time you get into a car with her that you might not arrive in one piece. Tell her: “When you talk on the phone while you drive, it makes me very nervous. I’m concerned about my safety as well as the safety of others when you do it. If you don’t want me to drive so you can make your calls, I will meet you at our destination.” DEAR ABBY: After her second mammogram in 10 years, my mother-in-law now needs a double mastectomy. An annual mammogram would have caught it early enough to prevent its spread. Since I have trouble remembering when it has been a year since my last exam, I decided to schedule my annual exam on my birthday. Now I will always remember when it’s time for my annual gift to myself -- preventive health care. -- ANNUAL ALISON IN CALIFORNIA DEAR ANNUAL ALISON: That’s an excellent suggestion. Associating annual medical exams with a holiday -- like Valentine’s Day -- would be another.
