CONWAY — Selectmen on Tuesday voted for a temporary closure of the dump store to give supporters of the facility a chance to propose fixes for a host of safety and usage concerns.
The future of the store is still in limbo, but the decision marks a win for those looking to keep it open. It buys time for representatives from the Lower Mount Washington Valley Solid Waste District to come up with ways to address problems. “I feel really good about how things are going,” district chair Colleen Cormack said
in a phone call Thursday. The district and the selectmen seem to be on the same page. “We all have the same goal.” The dump store, which has been around for years, is the part of the transfer station where people can drop off goods that still see DUMP STORE page 14

Google reveals Internetglasses SAN FRANCISCO (NY Times) — Google on Wednesday offered a look at a previously secret project to develop Internet-connected glasses, staking out a lead position in a futuristic and fast-growing area known as wearable computing. The glasses, which are still in a prototype stage, would place a small see-through display screen above a person’s eye that can show maps and other data. The wearer could use voice commands to, say, pull up directions or send a message to a friend. Apple, a major Google rival, is also reportedly working on wearable computers. In April 2008, the company filed a patent for a head-mounted display system that showed glasses with screens. But Google has amassed some of the leading experts in this field within Google X, a company lab responsible for such projects that was also something of a company secret before Wednesday. Richard W. DeVaul, a former Apple engineer who specializes in wearable computers, left that company last year to join Google X. According to Mr. DeVaul’s Web site, he is now a “rapid evaluator,” working in a team at Google run by Astro Teller, who specializes in artificial intelligence and wearable devices.

Violence worsening in Syria, U.N. says
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — Spasms of fierce new fighting, some just miles from Syria’s capital, were reported on Thursday, and the leader of the United Nations said the conflict was getting worse — contradicting assurances by the Syrian government to a special diplomatic envoy that it was complying with his cease-fire plan. The violence came as the Security Council issued a statement requesting Syria’s com-
pliance with the plan, particularly its April 10 deadline for a military pullback from major population centers. The statement itself reflected the deep doubts harbored among many nations that President Bashar al-Assad of Syria intends to keep his word. Assad, who regards the opposition as terrorist gangs financed by Syria’s enemies, has habitually reneged on previous commitments aimed at halting the 13-month-old
uprising against him, now the most chaotic of the Arab Spring democracy revolts. The Security Council issued the statement as the special diplomatic envoy, Kofi Annan, appointed by the United Nations and Arab League to broker a halt to the Syrian conflict, briefed the General Assembly by videoconference from Geneva on his latest diplomatic entreaties to Assad and the opposition forces aligned against him.
Navy plowing ahead on new Murdoch’s Sky News Channel discloses hacking of e-mails coastal ship, despite woes MOBILE, Ala. (NY Times) — The Navy’s newest ship is designed to battle Iranian attack boats, clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz, chase down Somali pirates and keep watch on China’s warships. The ones built here even look menacing, like Darth Vader on the sea. “It’s going to scare the hell out of folks,” said Representative Jo Bonner, the Alabama Republican who represents Mobile and is one of the ship’s biggest boosters in Congress. Bonner acknowledged that the ship has needed a “tweak” here and there — his allusion to one of the
most tortured shipbuilding programs in Navy history, a decadelong tale of soaring costs, canceled contracts and blown deadlines. One of the two $700 million ships completed so far has had a major leak and crack in its hull, while the other is at sea, testing equipment that is failing to distinguish underwater mines from glints of light on the waves. More ominously, a report late last year by the Pentagon’s top weapons tester said the ship “is not expected to be survivable in a hostile combat environment.”
LONDON (NY Times) — The British satellite news broadcaster, Sky News, part-owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, acknowledged on Thursday that one of its journalists had hacked e-mail messages at least twice in search of news stories, suggesting for the first time that Britain’s hacking scandal has spilled into television broadcasting. A journalist for the network was authorized “to access the e-mail of individuals suspected of criminal activity,” the head of the network, John Ryley, said in a statement, referring to one incident in 2008 and another on an unspecified date within the past 10 years. “We stand by these actions as editorially justified and in the public interest,” Ryley said. “We do not take such decisions lightly or frequently.” A wider investigation into editorial practices at the network was under way, he added. Sky had already commissioned reviews of e-mail and payment records, the statement said.

Banking company mistakenly claims Eaton home BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
EATON — J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and its agent mistakenly laid claim to another house in Carroll County, according to the sheriff’s office. This time the error was resolved shortly after a deputy opened a criminal investigation. A similar incident in Effingham last fall was much messier and took weeks to resolve. On March 15, sheriff’s Corp. Brittany Perley received a call from Debra Callis stating that a bank put a notice on her sister’s door even though her sister, Jennifer Rust, and her husband, Michael, owned the home for 10 years and it never had a mortgage or a lien. The notice on Rust’s door stated Chase was managing the house and the company believed the home was abandoned or unoccupied. The notice told the couple to call a company called Lender Processing Services. “It did feel like an invasion of privacy,” said Rust who summers in Eaton and spends the rest of the year in Colorado. By checking the county’s Registry of Deeds, Perley confirmed there was no mortgage or lien on Rust’s singlestory home at Lot 24 Ridge Road. “Rust said they felt they weren’t making any headway at getting through to someone to ensure they (LPS and Chase) would not continue going to her house,” wrote Perley in her police report. “(Rust) said at this point they felt it was unstoppable and when the process continued they would be forced to sue the bank.” During the investigation, Perley told an LPS employee that the sheriff’s office opened a criminal investigation into the complaint. “It’s trespassing,” said Perley in an interview. “They have a duty to be
sure they are at the right property, and it’s negligence to go to the wrong property.” Perley said LPS mistook Rust’s home for another home on the same road. LPS refused to identify the house they were actually looking for. Perley said identifying homes in the area is complicated because some homes lack numbers and some have been renumbered. The LPS employee refused to provide any information and she insisted the company’s “legal department” would call Perley back, according to the police report. A day later, Perley spoke to another LPS employee, who told Perley that LPS didn’t have a legal department. In contrast, Perley described Chase as being “very helpful.” A representative from LPS could not be reached for comment for this story. A real estate department representative at Chase told Perley the bank would call and notify LPS that it is posting on the wrong house. Sheriff Christopher Conley said residents are welcome to call him if they are having similar problems. The sheriff might get a lot of calls. Foreclosure numbers are skyrocketing in Carroll County. According to Carroll County’s Registry of Deeds, in 2011 there were 233 foreclosures in Carroll County. In 2010 there were 196 foreclosures. In 2005, there were only 18 in the entire county. Foreclosures in the county reached triple digits in 2007 when there were 106. Rust said she only learned about the notice because a neighbor saw someone post something on her property. The neighbor decided to report the incident to Callis who in turn called the sheriff’s office. Rust said her house was numbered.

On the bright side, the incident reminded Rust why she likes coming to New Hampshire. She thanked everyone involved with saving her home. “The people are just wonderful,” said Rust of New Hampshire residents. Chase Bank spokesman Michael Fusco told The Conway Daily Sun that Chase apologizes for this incident. Last fall, JP Morgan Chase and LPS confused a family’s little red house on Green Mountain Road in Effingham with a no-longer-existent mobile that had been on the same street. In that case, the bank’s agents changed the home’s locks and removed several thousand dollars worth of belongings. The homeowner, Travis Drew, became so frustrated that he spray painted a message on the roof of the house which said the house was being robbed while authorities watched. Fusco apologized to the Drews who eventually settled with Chase. Perley said people living in neighborhoods with a lot of second homes need to be especially vigilant because the second-home owners might not know about notices that are posted on their properties. “It’s good the neighbor saw it,” said Perley about the notice on Rust’s door. “Otherwise we would have ended up like we did in Effingham.” Last year, LPS was mentioned on a 60 Minutes expose. The 60 Minutes story said LPS, “a $2 billion firm,”
owned a company called Docx, which was caught faking signatures on mortgage-related paperwork in thousands of cases around the country. According to 60 Minutes, big Wall Street banks needed to forge documents because the record of ownership for many homes around the country became muddled when the banks created mortgage-backed investments. People interviewed in the 60 Minutes story admitted to signing someone else’s name on mortgage documents. One man said he signed fake names on thousands of documents per day. LPS told 60 Minutes that it shut down Docx after learning about the fraudulent signatures. Many documents were falsely signed with the name of Linda Green. Carroll County’s Registry of Deeds has received documents from Linda Green and other known “robo-signers.” In January, John O’Brien, the Register of Deeds in Southern Essex District of Massachusetts, demanded a full scale criminal investigation into big banks that he said operated as criminal enterprises. O’Brien believes 31,897 fraudulent documents have been filed with his registry, which is located in Salem, Mass. JP Morgan Chase and LPS were among the companies that O’Brien said need to be investigated. “There is no question in my mind see BANK page 14

EDITORIAL
Picks for Tuesday’s ballot There is a full slate of candidates for public offices in Conway. All deserve to be commended for their willingness to serve as well as your consideration at the polls Tuesday, April 10. Here are our picks: Selectmen Of the four strong candidates running for two seats, our two choices are Michael DiGregorio and Stacy Sand. DiGregorio has in the past held positions we disagree with (stripping the budget committee of its power among them), but none egregious enough to warrant an objection to his candidacy. He knows the job, still has energy for it, and seems to be rising toward a leadership role. We don’t see any reason to push for a change. We are particularly interested in his effort to revamp local government by consolidating the precincts. Sand is a former vice chairman of the planning board, and while a Conway resident, of course, she’s not as “local” as most of the current board. She would not only bring new energy and a different perspective, but represent a different constituency, which would be healthy for the board. This year’s budget committee showed how diversity can help a board reach its potential. We’d like to see a similar diversity on the board of selectmen. Bob Drinkhall and Steven Porter are good candidates, but they would likely vote very similarly to the current board. Drinkhall’s sharp eye, however, deserves a special mention. Every board could use someone like him, someone who sweats the details, from budgets to meeting minutes. The town, however, is not where this skill could be best applied. Town government is well managed and doesn’t have an obvious spending problem. Drinkhall’s sharp eye would best be utilized on the budget committee or on the school board, where fiscal discipline is really needed. Budget Committee There are five candidates running for four seats, and unfortunately the field is not very strong. We can only back two candidates: Maureen Seavey and Peter Donohoe. Seavey and Donohoe are both fair-minded community members willing to listen. They don’t have special-interest axes to grind, and would work on budgets with eye on serving the community as a whole. The other three candidates, however — Steven Steiner, Ray Shakir and Michael Fougere — have all made their extremist views quite clear at public meetings. The budget committee does not need more members looking only to talk past each other, incapable of engaging in discussion. It won’t help the budget committee, and it won’t help the town. Sad to say, that is exactly what these three candidates represent. Our suggestion? Vote for Seavey and Donohoe and write in the two selectman candidates you don’t vote for. That’s the best advice we can offer. see next colum

This is the Part Usually Where People Scream “What do you want to do with your life, kid? I wanna rock!” So goes the opening lines of “We’re Not Gonna Take It” by Twisted Sister. And for a couple of decades before and since, teenagers have been upsetting their parents with music and lyrics by groups as divergent as Bill Haley and the Comets, Buddy Holly, The Animals, Jefferson Airplane, Ice-T, Insane Clown Posse, Blink 182, and Nicki Minaj. It all started innocently enough when two genres, rhythm and blues married country style music. Widely touted as the first rock and roll record, “Rock Around the Clock” wasn’t a hit originally when it was released in 1952. Only after appearing on the soundtrack for “Blackboard Jungle” did it sell a million copies and secured its place in rock and roll history. The term rock and roll was a vulgar reference to sexual activity that would manage to sneak past censors and entice our young. It worked. In the 1950’s teens graduated from Frank Sinatra, Doris Day and Bing Crosby and began embracing their own music. Clothes were adopted that weren’t heretofore worn by parents, and became the domain of kids. Sound familiar? Most of us know that when Elvis Presley was presented on television, he was usually shown only from the waist up because his dancing was considered to be lewd. Many Chuck Berry and Little Richard hits were stolen and homogenized for white consumers. Jerry Lee Lewis created scandal when he married his teen aged cousin. When Elvis was drafted, many adults breathed a sigh of relief that maybe this rock and roll thing had run its course. But a few years later, a quartet from Liverpool, England arrived in the United States to the biggest reception since our troops returned home from World War II. “Beatlemania” as it was known delighted adolescents and horrified parents. So extreme was the frenzy around the Beatles that their sheets from the Plaza Hotel in

School Board With five candidates vying for two school board seats, we are sticking with incumbents: Randy Davison and Syndi White. The school board has lots of problems, but these two candidates aren’t among them. Davison was a bit too spirited at sporting events (a fact we would like to see him acknowledge with an apology), but he has shown a willingness to ask the tough questions. That’s a rare thing among a usually complacent group of board members. He is not afraid to stand alone, does his homework, and is prepared for whatever comes up. We’d like to see more like him on the board. White, who just finished her first term, seems to have found her voice. She has become equally willing to ask hard questions, even when they challenge the decisions of school superintendent Carl Nelson. She always advocates for education and has outlined several lofty goals for the next three years. She deserves an opportunity to bring those to fruition. Kelley Murphy has great passion for this community, but we believe her life’s plate is already too full to be a fully-engaged school
New York were stolen, cut into one-inch squares, framed and sold individually. Their shows were routinely sold out. They eventually ceased touring because, in part, they couldn’t hear themselves play because of the screaming going on throughout their shows. How is all this relevant today? Just ask any parent of teenagers what their kids listen to, and whether enjoy it too. My parents wouldn’t be caught dead listening to Led Zeppelin or Earth, Wind and Fire. Bob Dylan was an agitator and the Beatles were punks. Black Sabbath was demonic. What’s different from my parent’s generation is that parents today are just as likely to be listening to some of their children’s music along with them. While I may not embrace “screamo” bands like Eyes Set to Kill or Black Veil Brides, my teens have introduced me to bands whose music I adore, such as Owl City, Vampire Weekend and Arctic Monkeys. In turn, some of the kids I know have embraced Donovan, Cat Stevens, L7, and Hole. There’s so much out there to share, musically, that patient parents can usually just ask for a few band names, and “You Tube” videos. Even if a parent is initially turned off, the content of these videos and the lyrics can shed some light on what is appealing. And sometimes what is appealing is also purging. Rather than freaking out about junior’s musical tastes, we can all benefit from listening. There are hints everywhere. Don’t over react. Pay attention. And remember, the music that was on the turntable in your parent’s home probably scared the poo out of them at least as much as your kid’s music does you. And while your daughter or son may not admit it aloud, they just may “borrow” your leather jacket or black jeans when your back is turned. Rock on! Jen Bella is a psychotherapist and mom. She lives in East Conway.
board member. We fear she may quit before finishing her term, as she did in 2010. Ben Kane might be worth a hard look were it not for the strength of the two incumbents. Bill Masters, a former budget committee member, was the only member of that board to tour Conway Elementary School in three years. He had questions and went to get answers — a good indication of his dedication. He is also good with numbers and willing to listen to all sides, but his part in the 11 percent school budget cut last year makes it hard to consider him a viable choice. Town Moderator This race, like that for the two seats at the selectmen’s table, poses the problem of two good choices. Tom Steele would undoubtedly do a fine job if he were to retake the moderator’s podium he occupied years ago, but we see no reason to replace the incumbent. Steele said it himself: “Please let me first emphasize that I have no concerns with the present moderator. She is a most capable town meeting officer.” We agree. Rebecca Oleson has proven a fair and effective referee over the past two years. We would like to see her continue in the position, and not turn this race into a popularity contest.

Vote yes on Article 17 to approve full-day kindergarten To the editor: On April 10, the voters of Conway are being given a very exciting opportunity. By voting yes on Article 17, we can give our children full-day kindergarten. Full-day kindergarten is beneficial to our community for a number of reasons. First of all, Conway is a part of SAU 9, a district which includes Jackson and Bartlett. Both Jackson and Bartlett provide full-day kindergarten programs for their students. This means that children from those communities receive almost 600 more hours of school during the year in which early intervention could arguably be most effective. It has been demonstrated that if a child is a poor reader at the end of first grade, there is an 88 percent probability of remaining a poor reader at the end of fourth grade. (Juel, 1988) Given that Phonemic Awareness, the ability to hear and analyze discreet sounds, is one of the strongest indicators of ease of reading acquisition, and that phonemic awareness is typically developed at the pre-reading, i.e. kindergarten, stage, 600 hours is a very meaningful difference. Second, the N.H. State Board of Edu-
cation has adopted the Common Core standards. Common Core standards are quite rigorous and are extremely difficult to meet when only given 2.5 hours a day with which to teach. Building social skills, time for explorations and self-directed learning are also essential kindergarten components. It is even more difficult to allow the time for these vital pieces to exist in the kindergarten classroom with standards to meet in such a short time. In order to truly provide a well rounded program for the kindergarten child to meet their maximum potential, a full day is necessary. Finally, Conway is a wonderful place to raise a family. We have lots of open space, beautiful parks, music programs, museums, a gorgeous library, affordable homes, and a great community. What we don’t yet have is the best possible early education for our children. When we vote yes on Article 17; when we vote yes for full-day kindergarten, we will change that. Get out the vote on April 10. Tell your friends. Our children will thank you. Kristin Groves Conway
In support of position of the culinary arts sous chef To the editor: I am writing this letter in support of the position of the culinary arts sous chef. The culinary arts sous chef has many important job responsibilities, especially as it relates to being a major resource for students and as an assistant to the culinary arts instructor. When the lab restaurant is open, as either the restaurant or as a catering room the sous chef performs many duties which assist students in both the front and back of the culinary operations. The sous chef also may work with part of the class while the culinary arts instructor teaches the other half of the group or he/she may be asked to supervise students in the Mineral Springs Cafe (lab restaurant), or there may be a request for him/her to coach a student on a one-on-one basis to maximize that student’s learning experience. The sous chef must have an ability to
effectively communicate with a variety of constituents including faculty, aides, students, parents and guests. This is crucial as the culinary arts sous chef assists in the operating functions of the lab restaurant. He/she also helps with functions of the Skills USA Culinary Arts students through training and coaching them to prepare for competitions. I highly recommend that the position for the culinary arts sous chef be maintained and supported at the Mount Washington Valley Career and Technical Center at Kennett High School. This is an extremely important position for the success of the culinary arts curriculum, the lab restaurant, and continued student success in local, regional and state competitions.

In support of the needed service of Blue Loon Bus To the editor: I am a resident of the town of Conway. I am writing to support the needed service of the Blue Loon Bus. This is so important to have in Conway as well as the surrounding towns for those of us who lack transportation. It provides trips to the doctors, hospital, pharmacy, grocery shopping, post office, to name a few.
The two gentlemen that drive the bus are very polite, kind and caring. Please get out to vote yes for article 24, April 10. I support Carroll County Transit for the town of Conway. Ride the Blue Loon Bus. Call 1 (866) 752-6890 toll free. Lucille Lucy Conway
Thank you voters for keeping road agent elected To the editor: I would like to thank the people for supporting me in keeping the road agent position elected. I greatly appreciate it.

Vote for Bob Drinkhall for selectman on April 10
Stacy Sand a caring and qualified choice for selectman
To the editor: Vote for Bob Drinkhall. On April 10, one of he most qualified people ever to run for selectman is on the ballot. Bob Drinkhall, a man that has already been our selectman once before, has thrown his hat into the ring. I have known Bob for quite a few years. Bob Drinkhall is and has been a very successful businessman.
To the editor: It is a wonderful thing when a caring and qualified person steps forward to represent us in an important public office. Stacy Sand is just such a person, possessing both personal and professional qualifications that make her well-suited for the position of selectman in the Town of Conway. Stacy understands that it is the process involved in decision-making that is critical to achieving good results; her ability to listen, combined with a desire to get things done, and based on wisdom gained through her
When Bob speaks, he knows what he is talking about and has researched his subject completely. He is a stickler for detail and honesty and always has the people’s interest at heart. These are the reasons to vote for Bob. He will represent you fair and square. Douglas M. Swett East Conway
The candidate that I favor the most is Steve Porter To the editor: To those of you who might vote: I had promised myself that I was not going to come out and expression my opinion of the upcoming election. Well I was wrong, I can’t sit back and not say what’s on my mind, as has been that way for the past nine years. First of all I would like to thank everyone for allowing me to serve you for the past nine years, and I hope some of my decisions made some of you happy. Having said that, here is what I have to say, should you care to listen? The candidate that I favor the most is Steve Porter. He is a local fellow who really loves his town and is in touch with reality enough to know how to be proactive in a manner that is both good for the town and the taxpayer at the same time. Steve has served on the planning board for the past eight years and has held the position of chair
for many of those. He has demonstrated his ability to be both proactive and protective when it comes to our town. Please give Steve a chance and vote for him on April 10. The other candidate I think deserves a look is Bob Drinkhall. I think Bob’s head is in the right place and he tries to do what he thinks is right. He does him home work on any subject he chooses to address, and is always looking at the bottom line; which may not be popular. Give Bob another chance on the 10th of April, if your biggest concerns are taxes and what you get for them. Well that’s my two cents worth on that matter; in closing let me say that we have a very good group of employees working for the town of Conway that they know their jobs, for the most part, and it was a pleasure working with most of them. Larry Martin, former selectman Conway
Randy Davison should stay on Conway School Board To the editor: We are very happy to endorse Randy Davison for Conway School Board! Randy Davison is a very active and caring individual, who has served our community for the several past years. It is so unfortunate that he had to deal with unfair bashing in the news this past year, due to some unprofessional people who handled situations inappropriately. Yet, Randy has stood the test and is willing to serve again; that takes a lot of character, an admired quality not common in today’s world. Anyone who knows Randy can vouch that he has passion for what
he does, he is very committed and is willing to go the extra mile to get the job done. Randy has proven that he will research and test the situation before making a decision, keeping in mind the best interest for everyone involved, and not taking sides. We do not recommend voting for someone who has not proven committed in the past, and now wants to come back on board like Kelley Murphy. We do believe Randy should stay on the Conway School Board, and recommend the voters to vote smart and vote for him. Theresa Ann and James F. Gallagher Conway
Sous chef provides more capacity for teaching, safety To the editor: On behalf of the Regional Advisory Committee of the Mount Washington Valley Career and Technical Center (CTC), I am writing to endorse and encourage that we maintain the position for a sous chef to support the Center’s Culinary Arts Program. This program is a very successful component of CTC’s curriculum, one that has become even more visible in the new high school facility. As you know, the “laboratory” for the culinary arts program consists of two parts: the kitchen where food is prepared, and the Mineral Spring Cafe, where meals
are served. This model culinary facility gives students a real-world experience working in the food service field, but it also creates a greater need for capacity to supervise students. The maintenance of a sous chef on the staff provides that additional capacity for teaching and for safety monitoring. The Advisory Committee would greatly appreciate your support of this position in our culinary arts program. Dan Kennedy Advisory Committee Mount Washington Valley Career and Technical Center
experience at various levels of town government, make her an excellent candidate. We need a woman with Stacy’s skills, and I appreciate her willingness to bring a fresh perspective to the board of Selectmen. She will help the board to make decisions that fairly represent us all. Having gotten to know Stacy on a personal level, I consider it a privilege to vote for her, and I urge the citizens of Conway to support her bid to serve as Selectman. Kathy Burnell Conway
It’s time we vote Ray Shakir out of office permanently To the editor: “Schoolies,” “democ-rats,” “arrogant meddling bureaucrats,” “leeches,” “wishy-washy,” “municipal thieves,” “disciples of deceptive drivel,” and “jungle alien” just some of the many colorful and disrespectful terms Ray Shakir has used in publicly to describe his fellow elected officials, town employees, and the people who elected him to his position on the town budget committee. He calls anyone who disagrees with him a bully and then insults and belittles them, often publicly, when it is he who is the bully. This is not behavior we should accept or expect from an elected official. Ray has shown time and time again he lacks the maturity and integrity to be in the position he was elected to and should have stepped down last year as he promised. Ray has no ties to this community. He has not worked here or owned a business, has no family here, and didn’t raise his children here. He moved here only for the low tax rate to hold on to as much of his New York State funded pension as he can. He believes our children, the community’s children, do not deserve
as good education of an education as we can provide so they have the same opportunities his children had. He has stated “preparing kids for an outstanding world class education is unacceptable.” He doesn’t care, it’s not his children or grandchildren who will be cheated out of their future potential. He consistently votes no on anything that spends money that won’t directly benefit him even if it’s in the best interest of the community. Last year his selfish attitude cost the community thousands in attorney fees and the cost to put on a special town budget vote to fix the school budget crisis he caused with his greed. Guess that makes him? To quote him, one of the “self serving individuals installed by an apathetic electorate.” It’s time we the people stopped being so apathetic towards Ray Shakir and vote him out of office permanently. We deserve better, we deserve an elected official who actually represents the community who elected them and not just himself and can do so with maturity and respect for the position and those they serve with. Dawn James Conway
A vote for Drinkhall for selectman is a prudent choice To the editor: A vote for Bob Drinkhall for selectman is a prudent choice. Bob Drinkhall represents the kind of common sense public official this town sorely needs. He is keenly aware of the difficult financial times the state, town and Conway residents are facing. Bob has consistently been an advocate for fiscal responsibility at all levels of town government. He is performance oriented and he’ll ask some pretty tough questions when digging for solutions to a given problem. I’ve seen Bob take on problems, work
through the process defining what is needed vs. what is wanted and come up with a decent solution for everyone involved. Bob does his home work and has no hidden agenda! In my opinion, Bob is a rare individual who consistently works diligently for us all. He is not the kind of individual who will say “do as I say, not as I do.” If we are asked to tighten our belts, he will too and that is the kind of a person I want as a selectman! He has my vote and I hope yours too! Bill Masters Conway
Join me in supporting Bob Drinkhall for selectman To the editor: Please join me in supporting Bob Drinkhall for the office of Conway selectman on Tuesday, April 10. Bob has worked tirelessly on numerous town boards for many years. Anyone who has ever served with Bob or observed his performance, knows that he is one of the most thoroughly prepared volunteers participating in town government. I served with Bob on the budget committee and his research of every issue
was truly impressive. Observing him as selectman, his attention to detail and mastery of complex issues, including finance, would be a valuable asset to the town of Conway. Ever the gentleman in his interaction with others, scrupulously honest, a former local businessman and avid skier, Bob would be a great addition to the Conway board of selectmen.

Questioning recipients of ARA funds when 50 secondary roads crumbling To the editor: Center Conway and Chatham are experiencing the dilemma over the condition of East Conway/Green Hill roads. The condition of these two connected roads is hazardous with an accident waiting to happen. Our school buses travel across these two road carrying children back and forth to school. Residents who work in the area need to travel across East Conway/Green Hill Road for work and other related reasons. Our cars seem to need repairs more often lately than in previous years. The asphalt is crumbling beneath the cars, making for a ride you will soon not forget. The shoulder of the road is in need of repair, but the act remains that East Conway and Green Hillroads must have me proper corrective measures taken to ensure the safety of anyone who travels across the road. The road needs to be dug up and replaced with a base that will keep the asphalt from crumbling. East Conway Road has been resurfaced a few times, it sure looks great, but the face lift does not last. The Department of Transportation has ranked East Conway Road 48th on the list of secondary roads in New Hampshire. I am not sure of the ranking for Green Hill road. The residents contacted the state’s representatives for the District 1 and invited them to a meeting to discuss the condition of the road, and to ask for their support in trying to resolve the issue over needed repairs to the roads. The residents made it clear that the secondary roads, East Conway and Green Hill ,which are controlled by the N.H. Department of transportation, are not in satisfactory condition for the 5,400-plus cars that travel across the roads. I personally sent all representatives and senator a video along with two letters: one from myself and Karen Gilman stressing our concerns over the lack of care for East Conway Road and Green Hill Road. Our Senator Jeb Bradley informed me by mail dated Feb. 27 that he would look
into the issues. On March 27, Senator Bradley sent a copy of the letter the commissioner of the Department of Transportation. Mr. Christopher Clement sent him a response to his inquiry dated March 15. In the beginning of the commissioner’s letter it stated, “These roads are in less than acceptable condition.” At the end of the two-page letter it concluded due to, “a simple definitive answer to upgrading these roads is difficult a best.” I did some research about federal programs that President Obama enacted to help with putting American back to work and to help with the infrastructure of the United States. The program is called the Recovery Act and is for “Construction and repair of roads and bridges as well as scientific research, and the expansion of broadband and wireless service are being funded.” Let’s remember that roads and bridges are first on the list. Governor Lynch applied for funds on March 2, 2009. New Hampshire received $985,725,370 in funds, over $901,000,000 were in grants. As of Dec. 31, 2011, our state has spent $766,520,000 of the total funds. I place into question three of the five top recipients of those funds. How is giving over $40 million to the executive office of the state of New Hampshire, who has third place of the top recipients help in repairing roads? Again, why did the trustees of Dartmouth College ,being second of the five top recipients, receive funds before the 50 secondary roads that are crumbling? Then third place goes to the University Systems of New Hampshire’s received $39,018,725. Just those three allocations are over $141,000,000. Wow, we only need an estimated $12,000,000 for both East Conway road and Green Hill road. Visit www.recovery.gov and see with your own eyes. The management of the recovery funds is a disgrace to us all. Daniel Bacon Center Conway

Culinary programs that are best are the ones with multiple instructors To the editor: It has been brought to my attention there is talk about the elimination of the assistant culinary instructor. To quote the professional chef second edition 1969 “the sous chef is the second in command and is responsible for the physical aspect of the kitchen operation including supervision of kitchen personnel as well as the preparation and serving of food, and to lead in the absence of the chef.” I am hoping you all have at least considered the safety issues that exist with the ratio of students to instructors. There are far too many knives and large pieces of equipment that do take some expertise to operate (these are obvious things). I also would like for you to consider this, 46 years ago when I started out we trained under one chef who taught us everything he thought we needed to know. It was his way, period, which was OK back in the 60s because, like our parents, we stayed at one job our whole lives. We know in this world information is power, obtaining as much of it and from as many sources and peers as possible is what makes us better culinarians. I’ve had the privilege to work with many culinary
programs in New Hampshire as well as Maine at the high school and post secondary levels. The programs that are the best are the ones with multiple instructors. Some programs at the high school level have three to four instructors with one just teaching baking and pastries. As a judge for Skills USA, these schools always score at the top. I have been involved with this program since Trudy was cooking in a home-ec room. I would like to think I helped in getting the program were it is today and will always be there to help with the next step. This program could and should be a power house in culinary arts for the state of New Hampshire. Certainly, you won’t get there by reducing the number of chefs these students need to learn from. With the facility you have culinary should be as strong as any one of the sports teams that won championships these last few years.

Five candidates for four budget committee seats Peter Donohoe
• How long have you been a Conway resident? I have been a Conway resident for 26 years. • Have you served in any local elected positions in the past (planning board, school board, etc.)? Do you have any relevant political experience outside Conway? No. • Why are you running? I am answering the call to do my part as a resident and a taxpayer with my candidacy for the position of becoming a member of the Conway Municipal Budget Committee. • What unique skills would you bring to the committee? I have been self-employed as an owner of a small business for more than 20 years. Throughout the course of my business career, I have learned from many experiences. The most relevant experience includes successfully navigating the business through the various stages of the business cycle over the past two decades, especially the tougher recessionary periods. • What should a budget committee member’s top priority be? I believe that the top priority for a budget committee member is to be informed about the issues surrounding the creation and rationale of the various budget items. • What was your reaction to the budget committee’s 11 percent cut to the school budget in 2011?
As a taxpayer, I was concerned about the effects of the growing budget. As a parent of children in the local school system, I was concerned about the effects the cuts would have on my children’s educational experience. I believe that we eventually had to have this conversation about what to do about the taxpayers’ need as well as the wishes of the school district, as we did last season. Looking forward, I believe that all concerned need to continue to have an open discourse about the difficult matters facing us, using the systems that we currently have in place. • Do you support transforming the budget committee from statutory to advisory? Why or why not? I believe that the budget committee is meant to discharge its duties in the present capacity. The municipal budget committee reviews the annual budget submission of the board of selectmen and the school board; makes adjustments as the committee sees fit; and, presents a recommended annual budget for a vote at the annual town meeting every April. The importance of this form of checks and balances is vitally important to the taxpayers in the town of Conway. • Any final thoughts? Yes. Every Conway voter should take the time to learn about the issues. After that, please make your voice heard this April.

BUDGET COMMITTEE CANDIDATES
Michael Fougere
Michael Fougere did not answer the questions sent by the Sun. Instead he submitted the following letter: To the editor: Whether you own, rent or live in a tent, we need to decide together if the Mount Washington Valley is for families or for anti-social self interests of the few. Do we want two or six guys sitting on a board trying to figure out how to eliminate town services? In the end they would drive everyone away and enjoy their solitude left with the question, “What do we do with the ‘dirt’ poor who can’t move?” I’ve been in the valley almost 20 years. I’m originally from one county over in Sanford, Maine. I eventually came here to the valley and married into a local family. Since then we have had many conversation, and have agreed many times, about how life in a small town should be. I worked here on your cars and trucks and I worked on keeping your homes warm as an oil and propane technician. Prior to my accident, I dedicated my time and energy to the mechanical service needs of the valley. My accident showed me that this is a community that wants to support and care for their own, not one that would say “you’re on your own.” And now I want to dedicate my time to servicing the budget to fix what’s broken to represent family values. A trend has been building for 10 years. Left unchecked, a group will take over our familyoriented town, teaming up with the hermit land owners that live off the income of “their” multiple properties. A cut in the town budget ends up in the pockets of these people and it comes from your rent. It’s your money, and your voice, and it’s being lost to the self interests of your landlords. With your rent, they can afford private services, but they don’t want to pay for yours. In their eyes, you’re on your own. Once family values are dismantled, where am I going to live? Where will you live? Do I fight for the town I moved here for, or do I search for a
new place with pride in their school, town and families? I worked for almost 20 years and invested my time, family and labor into a place I believed, and still believe, is a wonderful place to raise a family. My family has lived here, left to explore the world, and returned to participate as assets to the valley and to be dependent on it. Through five generations, none have moved back to cut a budget and we all participate in the services of our town. I hope to have your support and I hope my thoughts are the same as the majority of you who live here with me. Your vote will show your support for these values, family values, that I feel are important. I am a proud and true “townee.”
Maureen Seavey • How long have you been a Conway resident? My family moved to the valley in 1947. I am very proud to say that I am a 1963 graduate of Kennett High School. I am one of 10 children who received their education in the Conway school system. I graduated from Grahm Junior College, Boston, with an associate degree in business. I also took courses from Granite State in Conway. I lived in Massachusetts and Connecticut for several years before moving back here with my husband and two boys in 1972. My husband and I loved this area and wanted our boys to grow up in a smalltown environment. My husband and I started our own business, C-V Machine Company, in 1977. After my husband’s death seven years ago, my two sons and I now carry on our business. Before I was married I work in the accounting department at Liberty Mutual Insurance Company in Boston. I was a stay-at-home mom for several years. I worked for the town of Conway as a bookkeeper, and also DJ’s Bedding and Furniture where I dealt with all aspects of accounting from payroll, accounts receivable, accounts payable, inventory control and financial statements. • Have you served in any local elected positions in the past (planning board, school board, etc.)? Do you have any relevant political experience outside Conway?
I have served on the Kennett Alumni Board as a board member and was treasurer for a few of those years. In the 70s I taught religion classes at Our Lady of the Mountains, served on the board of the American Red Cross, and now am a volunteer for the Mount Washington Chamber of Commerce. For the last few years I have served on the North Conway Water Precinct budget committee and have been chairman for the last two years. I previously served on the Conway budget committee for several years. • Why are you running? I am running for the budget committee because I feel I am very supportive of our schools and town. I feel I am a good listener, and feel everyone has a right to their opinion. Maybe cuts need to be made, but I am not in favor of cuts that will drastically impact the education of our children or our town. I know it is hard, but the people on the budget committee, school board and the school administrators need to work together. • What unique skills would you bring to the committee? The unique skills that I feel I bring to the budget committee are as follows: owned and operated a business for over 30 years and know what it takes to run a business; worked in accounting all my life and served on the budget committee for several years. see SEAVEY page 12

As a business person, I know what it is like to run a business in these difficult times. • What should a budget committee member’s top priority be? The budget committee member’s top priority should be balance the needs of the town, school and police department but also look out for the taxpayer. • What was your reaction to the budget committee’s 11 percent cut to the school budget in 2011? I did not agree with the 11 percent cut in the school budget. That is way too big a cut and would have a negative impact on the education of our children.

There would have to be cuts in the maintenance of our building and grounds. That would only cost us more in the future. • Do you support transforming the budget committee from statutory to advisory? Why or why not? I am not sure how I feel about changing the budget committee from statutory to advisory. I have always liked the way the budget committee functioned in the past. • Any final thoughts? I wish that more people would be interested in running for the budget committee and not have the same board year after year. If you do not like how the budget committee votes, please run for office.

BUDGET COMMITTEE CANDIDATES
• How long have you been a Conway resident? Visiting since the late 80s, permanent since 2005. • Have you served in any local elected positions in the past (planning board, school board, etc.)? Do you have any relevant political experience outside Conway? Current planning board alternate. • Why are you running? I have concern for the economic health, fiscal integrity and stability of our town and the well being of the productive majority who struggle to make ends meet. I believe current taxes are excessive and the resultant distribution skewed excessively towards entitlement minded special interests, at the expense of the overall needs and the livelihood of the conglomerate. • What unique skills would you bring to the committee? I was responsible for multi-million-dollar construction budgets and contractor affairs including associated administrative functions over a 36-year career. • What should a budget committee member’s top priority be? Fiscal responsibility, peak efficiency, minimal government, establishing priorities and segregating want from need. • What was your reaction to the budget committee’s 11 percent cut to the school budget in 2011? I was one of the budget committee members who proudly proposed it. In fact, given the opportunity, I would champion an even greater cut. I take further pride in being instrumental in curbing your tax burden which resulted in no increase last year. Unfortunately, with the irresponsible, special interest composition of the current budget committee

(and other boards), those savings will be but a fond memory once “the voters” approve this year’s extravagant spending and warrant proposals. • Do you support transforming the budget committee from statutory to advisory? Why or why not? A foolish and irresponsible recommendation, proposed by foolish and irresponsible individuals. Those who would allow unbridled, inefficient and unchecked governmental waste, corruption and municipal thievery. Indeed, a similar comparison to federal government policies. So, if you like the policies of the Obama regime, you’re gonna love the direction of the current budget committee. • Any final thoughts? My positions in terms of budgetary policy (among others) are well known. I do not apologize or patronize, and proudly abstain from “political correctness.” I deal only with the facts and the truth. I fully understand that this community survives primarily through two major economic strata: tourism and retirement. Its economic engine is driven almost entirely, directly or indirectly, through these two formats. Accordingly and unfortunately, these income sources generally score low in terms of their ability to satisfy a “comfortable” lifestyle; hence, many residents are forced to hold multiple jobs or are living on fixed pension. This is why it is vital that governmental services be delivered as efficiently as possible. It is why taxes, spending and borrowing must be minimized. It has been my observation and opinion that town services generally — with some notable exception — meet this criteria; however, the school system is a grossly inefficient, out of control, corrupt, government employment bureaucracy that, unless curbed significantly, will eventually result in a Conway wasteland.

BUDGET COMMITTEE CANDIDATES
Steven Steiner
• How long have you been a Conway resident? Three years. • Have you served in any local elected positions in the past (planning board, school board, etc.)? Do you have any relevant political experience outside Conway? No elected experience. I founded Dads and Moms Against Drug Dealers (DAMMAD) back in 2001 after the death of my son. As part of my responsibilities, I have handled those issues affecting America’s drug policy, laws and issues locally and nationally. • Why are you running? To bring fiscal sanity to the budget and to lead the charge against the good ole boys’ club so that all in Conway will have equal opportunity, not just a chosen few. • What unique skills would you bring to the committee? I bring my not-for-profit experience, where I have learned to stretch a dollar a long way. • What should a budget committee member’s top priority be? To throw away the rubber stamp and to bring back fiscal sanity.
• What was your reaction to the budget committee’s 11 percent cut to the school budget in 2011? I thought it was bold in these economic times. We are in need of this kind of leadership because taxpayers and owners of the businesses in Conway cannot afford these high property taxes. One just needs to drive down the strip and see all the open store fronts and to talk to the business owners about why it’s so hard for them to stay in business. • Do you support transforming the budget committee from statutory to advisory? Why or why not? Of course not. Giving the good ole boys’ club a blank check is not something that we want to ever do. It’s obvious they just want full control. And that’s why this year’s election will hopefully be the start of fiscal sanity here in Conway. • Any final thoughts? Yes, we all live in a very special place. We should all have the opportunity to and make Conway a businessfriendly community. We can get there by lowering property taxes so businesses will survive and all people will have a better opportunity.

OSSIPEE — A Carroll County Superior Court grand jury handed down the following indictments on Feb. 24, 2012. An indictment means a grand jury found there is enough evidence to bring a case to trial. It is not a finding of guilt. Crosby Alward, 24, of Tamworth, was indicted on two counts of class-B felony second-degree assault for alleged crimes in Conway on July 22. Philip Beauchamp, 59, of Wakefield, was indicted on two counts of class-B felony aggravated driving while intoxicated for alleged crimes in Wakefield on July 30.

John Cahoon, 61, of Moultonborough, was indicted on two felony counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault for alleged crimes in Moultonborough between Jan. 28, 2009 and Dec. 22. Cahoon was also indicted
on a felony felonious sexual assault charge for an alleged crime in Moultonborough between Jan. 28. 2009 and Dec. 22. Daniel Clough, 22, of Carroll County Jail, was indicted on a charge of class-B felony possession of a controlled drug for an alleged crime in Conway on May 20.

town manager Earl Sires and selectman Crow Dickinson, met Monday to brainstorm. “There were some really good ideas that were generated,” Cormack said, including some that “would require very little effort.” “Probably what we’ll do is present a couple options and let the selectmen chew on it,” she said. It is unclear, however, just when that will happen. “I don’t want it to stay closed any longer than possible,” Cormack said, “but if we’re going to make a change we want to do it right.” The selectmen, for their part, did not specify how long the temporary closure would last. “I don’t want to turn around and say you have two weeks,” selectman Mike DiGregorio said. The group can have the time they need to come up with ideas for a fix. For now, however, the town is moving forward with closing the facility. Within the next week or so, Sires said, it should be shut down.
have life left in them. It reduces the volume headed to the landfill, which extends the life of the facility. That value, however, is undercut by problems at the store. At least one lawsuit has come out of there, and officials see potential for more. Also a group of people have turned the facility into a supply depot for secondhand goods. A culture has developed where a few people hang around waiting for residents to drop off goods, sometimes going into their vehicles. Those issues, the selectmen have repeatedly said, need to be addressed, and the town is not prepared to allocate any additional funds to do it. After two public hearings where residents of the three towns served by the transfer station came out to speak in support of the store, however, the selectmen are prepared to let Cormack and others look for other ways to deal with the situation. A group of roughly a dozen, including Cormack,

90-year-old tree cut down in Portsmouth PORTSMOUTH — A giant 90-year-old beech tree was taken down in Portsmouth on Thursday despite efforts by some to save it. The tree was in front of South Church on State Street, and although tree lovers tried to convince the church not to take it down, the church said its roots were causing too much damage to the historic building’s foundations. A crane was used as workers carefully avoided utility wires to take down the 70-foot tree. “It’s kind of sad,” said resident Bernard McAfee. “It was a really nice tree, and it gave a lot of character to the area.” — Courtesy WMUR

Heather Masse returns to Stone Mountain
Get hypnotized at Leura Hill Eastman tonight FRYEBURG — Award-winning hypnotist and “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not” star Roderick Russell comes to the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center at Fryeburg Academy in Fryeburg, Maine Friday, April 6, at 7 p.m. for one unforgettable night only, to benefit the sophmore class of Fryeburg Academy. In this completely interactive show (only willing volunteers are used), Russell demonstrates the power of the mind to create our reality. Beginning with a short, fun introduction to hypnosis, Russell calls for volunteers to join him on stage. Participants are then dramatically hypnotized and, once “under,” they themselves become the stars of the show. While in the hypnotic state, Russell makes them believe and act out a variety of hilarious scenarios. Come see why Maxim Magazine calls him “the real deal” and why he was voted “Best Of” the Discovery Channel. Tickets are $10 and are available at the performing arts center box office, at the door, or reserve now by e-mail (boxoffice@fryeburgacademy.org) or phone: (207) 935-9232.
Author Tovar Cerulli at White Birch Books Monday CONWAY — White Birch Books located in North Conway Village is welcoming Vermont author Tovar Cerulli to discuss his new book, “The Mindful Carnivore: A Vegetarian’s Hunt for Sustenance.” Cerulli will be at the store on Monday, April 9, beginning at 6:30. In his new book, Cerulli, a vegan turned hunter, reignites the connection between humans and their food sources. While in high school Cerulli began experimenting with vegetarianism and by the age of 20 he was a vegan. A decade later, in the face of declining health, he returned to omnivory and within a few years found himself heading into the woods, rifle in hand. Through his personal quest, Cerulli bridges these disparate world views and questions moral certainties. Are fishing and hunting barbaric? Or can they be respectful ways for humans to connect with nature and their food? How harmless is vegetarianism? Can hunters and vegetarians be motivated by similar values and instincts? Cerulli has worked as a logger, carpenter and freelance writer. In 2009, he was awarded a graduate school fellowship by the University of Massachusetts, where his research has focused on food, hunting and human relationships with the natural world. He lives in Vermont with his wife and dog. All are welcome at this free event. For more information about the event, or to reserve a copy of The Mindful Carnivore, call White Birch Books at 356-3200 or visit www.whitebirchbooks.com.

Wildcat still hopping along the bunny trails BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
IT’S EASTER WEEKEND, and we’re happy to report that some of us are still bombing down a few of the local bunny trails this strange spring. Among the still open areas? Wildcat Mountain (466-3326), always a mecca for spring skiing devotees. Wildcat had 16 trails and two lifts open as of Thursday, so with spring rates in effect, don’t hang up those boards just yet. I ran into former veteran Wildcat Ski School instructor and now Cranmore instructor Jayne van Loon on Main Street in North Conway
Tuesday evening, and she described that day’s conditions at the ‘Cat as “dreamy.” “The top-to-bottom from the Upper Polecat to the Middle Lynx and then to Lower Catapult was sensational,” said Jayne in front of Horsefeathers at dusk Tuesday. “We
got three inches of snow Sunday night, and it’s been great.” That’s all good, because the valley has been visited over the past week or so by several hundred vacationing British school children. They come every year, but this year, late season conditions were a bit skimpy, so Wildcat, along with Loon and Sunday River, have been turning on the late season snow guns and snow farming to lay down a white carpet, along with the proverbial red carpet to welcome the visitors. “Everyone seems to be happy with the skiing we have been offering. We’re keeping our fingers crossed see next page
Metropolitan Opera Live series continues at Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center Saturday FRYEBURG — The Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center located at 18 Bradley Street on the Campus of Fryeburg Academy in Fryeburg, Maine continues its Metropolitan Opera Live in HD Season with “Manon” on Saturday, April 7, at 12 p.m. Come early and have lunch in the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Art Center’s beautiful lobby. Beginning at 11 a.m, Lake Region Caterers will

grass root change and awareness, community involvement and encourages economic and financial growth in our local community. It’s not only one of our founding principles, it’s our mission statement.” When M&D approached Fran Duncan, administrator of the Mount Washington Valley Arts Association at one of their Breakfast Club meetings, she couldn’t believe that there were others who wanted to help them without any financial gain for the theater. “Of course I was excited to take Mark up on his offer. And a little skeptical at first, I considered it and decided that it could only benefit both of our groups to go ahead. I think it will be a mutual benefit to cultivate this growing relationship.” Their collaboration is simple. M&D Productions has a large gallery size wall in their lobby where they hang artwork from local artists at no cost or commission in the hope to bring other types of patrons to the theater for a show. The Mount Washington Valley Arts Association has another great central location for display and provides their juried artists another valuable resource. This coming artist of the month will be Carol Hanson, of Fryeburg, Maine. Her work is unique interesting and thought provoking. Other great collaborations have also been showcased with M&D in the past. Their very successful “Dinner and a Movie” showcases local restaurant’s cuisine, Talk Backs where local professionals speak to the subject of the current show, their lodging and dining packages, and their most recent partnership with White Mountain Community Health Center’s “Valley’s Got Talent.” Those interested in checking out the latest addition to the Mount Washington Valley Arts Association gallery space, it is at M&D and is open from 10 a.m. to at least 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Call 733-5275, or if you are an artist and want to become a member of the arts association, give Duncan a call at 356-2787.

for next week, when the forecast is calling for rain. Our plan is to close after Easter Sunday, and then to re-open, conditions permitting, for April 14 and 15,” said Wildcat general manager Josh Boyd Thursday. ••• MOTOR BOOTY AND MORE: After taking in the always outrageously sensational Motor Booty Affair after Attitash’s splash pond event Saturday, I took some runs at Bretton Woods on their last day of the season Sunday with friends Carol and Alan Phenix. Although the number of runs was limited, it was well worth it. I was skiing down one of the trails, when to my amazement I heard the grinding sound of a snowboarder, who appeared on my right. I say it was amazing, because there was no snow to my right — it was just mud. Apparently, the young man had skipped from one snow-covered trail, and onto a muddy run before he connected with the route I was on. He just plowed through the mud — a true skidder. For its last weekend, Bretton Woods hosted a giant freestyle airbag. Kids would bomb down on their skis or boards, go off the ramp, and land onto the inflatable contraption. Pretty cool! ••• COULD THIS BE THE YEAR? Thursday was the start of yet another BoSox season — a time when hope always springs eternal in the hearts of all Red Sox fans. How did we do? We lost, 3-2, in the ninth, to the Tigers at Detroit’s Comerica Park. Uh-oh. ••• TUCK’S TRAGEDY: Spring is also usually a time when we spring skiing lovers head to Tuckerman Ravine — and as we all well know, it’s been a deadly and sad week. As colleague Erik Eisele reported in Tuesday’s Sun, Boston resident Norman Priebatsch fell into a crevasse while descending the northern flanks of Tuckerman with companions at approximately 3:30 p.m. The search for his body has been suspended by authorities. Whether we knew the victim, all of us who love Mount Washington are saddened by last Sunday’s tragic incident. As we well know, the ravine can go from being a place of joy to terror, especially on a spring day when conditions are ever-changing. To stay abreast of conditions, check the U.S. Forest Service’s Snow Rangers’ report at www.mountwashingtonavalanchecenter.org. ••• VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: Al and Jake Risch invite anyone interested in helping out with the 2012 Friends of Tuckerman Ravine Inferno Pentathlon or Wildcat Wildfire Pentathlon a call at 367-4417. This year’s races are set for Saturday, april 21. Go to www.friendsoftuckerman.org for more information. ••• FORE! Province Lake Golf, Androscoggin Valley, Indian Mound and North Conway are thrilling golfers with their early openings and conditions. Hale’s Location is set to open on April 20, which is also the projected date for the Eagle Mountain House Golf Course. The Wentworth is to open April 27. ••• ON THE TOWN: If you missed last Saturday night’s “The Valley’s Got Talent” at the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center at Fryeburg Academy, be sure to out it on your calendar for next year. The talent-laden event raised $15,000 for the White Mountain Community Health Center, and was a great night out on the ol’ slum district, er, town, of Fryeburg for all music and dance fans. Look for it to return next year — and be sure to get your tickets, as it was totally enjoyable. Made you proud of the talent that this valley has. In closing, Happy Easter and Happy Passover.

Movie Review: ‘Wrath of the Titans’ Reel Reviews –––––
Late in “Wrath of the Titans,” the sequel to the 2010 remake of “Clash of the Titans,” Liam Neeson’s Zeus says “Let’s have some fun.” The phrase “Well, we haven’t yet” crossed my mind. I was not prepared for how bad “Wrath of the Titans” would be. “Clash of the Titans” was by no means a great film, but it was passable, if instantly forgettable, entertainment. I expected more of the same. No such luck. Director Jonathan Liebesman is lucky though that his film is so sleep inducing he’ll never feel the wrath of the audience. The plot of “Wrath” is simple enough. A decade after his heroic feats in “Clash,” Perseus (Sam Worthington), the half-human son of Zeus, is trying to live as a fisherman. His tranquil existence is shattered when Zeus is taken prisoner in the underworld by Hades (Ralph Fiennes) and Ares (Édgar Ramírez). Perseus must rescue
his father and stop the release of Kronos, who will destroy the world. Alec Kerr In this quest he is joined by Agenor (Toby Kebbell), Poseidon’s half-human son, and the warrior queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike). That plot is an easy formula for a popcorn movie. Throw a bunch of monsters from Greek mythology at our heroes and call it a day. Heck, you don’t even need a particularly good screenplay in this case. “Clash” only had a so-so screenplay, but it got by on decent acting and a couple fun action sequences. “Wrath” can’t even deliver on that modest level. At least “Clash” director Louis Leterrier remembered a key rule of directing action: You need to be able to see what is happening. Liebesman is entirely to blame for how poorly “Wrath” came out. His choices as director — the editing, the dim lighting, the shot composition — make for a film that is

difficult to follow and see. Liebesman frames his action sequences in tight close ups with quick edits every few seconds that make it impossible for the audience to have sense of place within a scene. Everything happens in such a whirl of images that there is never any sense of building tension or excitement. A good action scene needs to use medium and long shots so that viewers can clearly understand what is occurring. There is a battle involving a group of cyclops, in which for the first few minutes I didn’t realize there was more than one cyclops. There was never an establishing shot. Instead there was a series of seemingly random close ups. In another sequence, Perseus does a battle with a monster and, once again, it is all close ups to the point of which you barely get a look at the creature. If you’re going to spend millions of dollars on special effects — the budget was reportedly $150 million — wouldn’t you want your visuals to be seen? When you do see them, they

are pretty good, which makes it all the more frustrating. The style that Liebesman utilizes is meant to seem more visceral, chaotic and put you in the action. This approach can work in the hands of a talented filmmaker like Steven Spielberg, who did create a sense of chaos in the opening of “Saving Private Ryan.” The acting on display, even from returning greats like Neeson and Fiennes, is stiff and bland. Neeson and Fiennes just seem to be waiting to go cash their paychecks. I hope a huge chunk of their wages goes to charity, medical research or, at the very least, to funding some more interesting films. There are two bright spots in the cast. Kebbell is given some good oneliners and he delivers them well. Bill Nighy has a 10-minute sequence as Hephaestus, the god who created Zeus, Poseidon and Hades’ godly weapons. Nighy has a quirky energy that infuses the film with an all-toobrief sense of fun. Those two performances are not enough to give this film even the most marginal of recommendations. This film is an ungodly mess. You’ve been warned.

But how was the season for some of those left standing? Wildcat and Attitash marketing director Thomas Prindle says those two areas were able to hold their ground on skier visits because of an increase in season passholders, those people who tend to ski and ride often in spring. “I think all of the New England ski areas will unanimously agree that this season was a challenge in terms of natural snowfall and our primary market areas hardly seeing any snow at all,” Prindle said. While the Boston, Rhode Island and southern New Hampshire markets didn’t see much snow in their backyards, snow guns provided it in the mountains. Wildcat was among the legion making snow in late March. Why? They were prepping for an onslaught of international students, aggressively positioning itself as a spring superstar and providing value to passholders (the pass is valid at Attitash too). “For the many new passholders that we do have, it shows that Peak Resorts is in this for the long haul and genuinely wants to oper-

ate Wildcat well,” Prindle said. Lift tickets are $35 at the Cat. Sugarloaf reported a mere 27.5 inches of snow by Jan. 1 including the six inches from October. Christmas was slow but January through the mid-March meltdown had skiers smiling again. “We’re staying open because we have a reputation as the King of Spring, and we don’t intend to give that up,” said spokesman Ethan Austin. They’re also taking care of loyal season passholders and vacationers mostly from Canada and Britain who’ve made the trip to the western Maine mountains. Plus it’s Reggae Fest April 12-15. The Loaf, Sunday River and Loon are all Boyne-owned resorts. Loon’s Molly Mahar thanked the 600 towers guns installed over the past two years for saving a season that was hard on her core markets. “The roller coaster temperatures were a challenge, because it seemed as though every time we had our conditions in great shape we’d get the next round of warm up/rain/freeze, and we had to start resurfacing all over again to insure the best possible conditions for our guests,” she said. “With little to no snow falling in
our core markets, it was tough to get the market motivated, but our strong snowmaking message positioned us well to counter the lack of snow.” When other ski resorts closed, many having bookings from British students, Loon was able to absorb them, providing a stimulus to Lincoln, she said. “While this was good for us, it was also a boost for many of our local hotels and businesses,” Mahar said. Loon has $49 lift tickets for passholders from other resorts. Sunday River snow reporter Shelley Bowen says the winter was definitely a challenge. But it’s all about snowmaking and the River opened in late October and is staying open until April 15. They made snow on 106 days, including six days the last week in March. They also received British school groups from other areas, but they’re open now for the passholders. “We stay open this long or longer every season, so this is typical for us,” she said. “We open early and close late every year because we’re dedicated to providing the longest and best season possible for our season passholders.”

Fryeburg Academy wins 7th straight Vocal Jazz title FRYEBURG — Months and months of rehearsals paid off for Fryeburg Academy jazz members at the Maine State Vocal Festival held in Ellsworth, Maine over this past weekend. Results were as good as they get with Fryeburg’s Vocal Jazz Ensemble winning its seventh straight Division One title. Not to be shown-up by their peers, FA’s Eklectic Jazz Choir, made up mostly of underclassmen, also took home first place in the Multiple Choir Division (school’s may only enter one group in the Divisional State Finals, so a separate division was created for schools with more than one qualifying jazz choir). Both ensembles are directed by academy music director, Brent LaCasce. In addition to the titles, indi-
vidual awards for outstanding vocal performances were won by Connor Reeves (senior, Division One, Vocal Jazz) and by Andrea Engen and Anna Williams (sophomores, Multi Division, Eklectic). Both the Vocal Jazz Ensemble and Eklectic Rhythm Sections’ won Best Rhythm Section awards within their divisions. Congratulations to the Vocal Jazz members: Megan MacGillivray, Punika Limpanidom, Louisa Glonner, Ali Gagnon, Cailyn Ludwig, Dana Mozzoni, Emily Oullette, Eliza Neidlinger, Kevin Brown, Connor Reeves, Matt Stoker, Dan Kurnick, Bjorn Myhre, Steven Flaherty and rhythm section members, Isabelle Boyd (bass), Andrea Oullette (guitar), Ron Rideout (drums) and
Hunter Lyons (piano); and Eklectic Jazz Choir members: Anna Williams, Andrea Engen, Thea Hart, Connor Sheehan, Joe Schrader, Zack Sheehan, Shannon Friberg, Erin Friberg, Isabel HodgmanBurns, Ashley Wissman, Makayla Frost, Kellen Scrimger, Brianna Wolf, Jamie Gullickson, Liam LaMountain and their rhythm section, Giovanna Chiarella (guitar), Jared Schrader (bass), Malik Mobley (drums) and Jon Burke (piano).

Eastham Hockmeyer
Eastham Hockmeyer, of Freedom, husband of Mary Stewart Hockmeyer, died peacefully on Saturday, March 31, 2012 at home. He was born on April 28, 1931 in Lowell, Mass. to Clive and Lydia Langdon Hockmeyer. Eastham was a graduate of Westminster School and Hamilton College. He remained a supportive and active alumnus of both schools. He married Anne Dunsford in 1953 and they lived in Germany while he was in the service before settling in Westford, Mass. where they resided until her death in 1988. He married his second wife, Mary, in 1990 and resided in Freedom and Milbridge, Maine. Until his retirement, Eastham was executive vice-president and secretary at Vertipile, Inc. in Lowell and Leominster, Mass. He was always a very active volunteer and participant in community activities including Meals on Wheels, as well as a deacon and trustee at the First Christian Church in Freedom. Eastham was a dear and wonderful man of integrity with a delightfully dry sense of humor. He was an avid hiker as well as an accomplished skier and happily shared these passions with his family in his beloved White Mountains. He never lost his curiosity about world events and remained wellread and informed. He enjoyed his many travels with Mary, treasured time spent with close family and friends, and rel-
ished being enthusiastically walked by a succession of devoted Golden Retrievers who were fortunate enough to spend their senior years in Freedom. Besides his parents and his stepmother, Mayre Hockmeyer; he is predeceased by his sister, Joan; his brothers Clive, Vincent and Langdon; and his first wife, Anne. He leaves his wife Mary, of Freedom; his half-brother, Wayne, of Hernando, Fla.; his half-sister, Audrey, of Cool, Calif., his daughter, Lisa Oliveri and her husband, Jack, of Glastonbury, Conn.; his son Eastham Scott, of Amherst, Mass.; his son, Peter and his wife, Sherry, of North Anson, Maine; his grandsons, Tyler, Andrew, Nicholas and Benjamin Oliveri; his three stepchildren, Terry Boyer and her husband, Mark Albert Morrison and his wife, Sandra, and Sarah James and her husband, Robert; and seven step-grandchildren, Charles, Alexandra, Thomas, John, Caroline, Stewart and Max. Family and friends are invited to join in honoring Eastham’s life at the First Christian Church of Freedom, New Hampshire on Saturday, April 21, at 2 p.m. followed by a reception at the Freedom Town Hall. Donations in his memory may be made to the National Kidney Foundation or the American Heart Association. Lord Funeral Home in Center Ossipee is in charge of arrangements.

Easter egg hunt at the K.A. Brett School April 7
This year’s Easter egg hunt, sponsored by the recreation Department will be this Saturday, April 7, at the K.A. Brett School beginning at noon, held rain or shine, so dress for the weather. This event is open to all Tamworth children who are currently in the fourth grade and younger. For more information contact Parker Roberts at 323-7582 . The second annual spaghetti dinner hosted by the Carroll County branch of the women’s international service organization Altrusa was held on Saturday evening at Runnells Hall. The food: spaghetti and meatballs , followed by home made desserts and coffee was graciously served by Altrusa ladies, impeccably attired in black and white. The food and service were great, and the funds raised go to assist area literacy efforts. Thanks so much for this wonderful event and we are already looking forward to next year. I enjoyed the talk given by author Ted Morgan at the Cook Memorial Library on Wednesday. He is a professor of political science at Le High University and has strong ties to Tamworth — his grandfather Herbert Prince was Minister of St. Andrews, and his Aunt and late Uncle Edward and Aunt Dorothy Prince retired here after years of living overseas in the US Foreign service. His book: “What Really Happened to the 1960s: How Mass Media Culture Failed American Democracy” was published in 2010, and is available at the Cook Library and at Amazon.com. Professor Morgan first gave an overview of how media response to important events and upheavals has shaped our perception and how the dialogue between opposing factions has been stymied by these same perceptions. Professor Morgan gave everyone an opportunity to ask questions and this became an interesting conversation regarding the polarization prevalent in current national debate, and the lack of real communication and open mindedness. I think that most of the attendees left stimulated by the discourse and would like to revisit it. I would like to thank Professor Ted Morgan for his interesting presentation, and the Cook Memorial Library for hosting the event. The Winter Farmers Market continues at the Lyceum on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.: fresh greens, pork, lamb, beef, jam, dry beans, yarn, wool,and bread. Do come along and buy your Easter dinner.

Owner of Barth Daylily line to speak on success of oldest hybridized daylilies CONWAY — On April 16, the Mountain Garden Club will hold its spring “Lunch and Learn” event “The Barth Daylilies — A New England Success Story” at the Red Fox Bar and Grille on Route 16 in Jackson. Jeff O’Donal, owner of O’Donal’s Nursery in Portland, Maine (originally Forest City Nursery, circa 1850), became owner of the Barth hybrid line of daylilies in 2001. Dr. Joseph Barth of Alna, Maine first hybridized these daylilies in 1952, and Joseph’s son Nick and wife Sandra continue that work today. Barth Daylilies are renowned for their long blooming times, exceptionally large flowers, and multiple flowers per stem. O’Donal will explain the historic aspects of the Barth Daylilies, the oldest hybridized daylily line in the world, and whet everyone’s gardening appetite by displaying many of the 74 named varieties. Depending on availability, O’Donal expects to present one of the newest Barth daylilies to a lucky prizewinner in attendance at the program. All are welcome; registration starts at 10:30 a.m. with a brief club business meeting, followed by lunch and the program at 11:30 a.m. Contact Colleen Allbee at (603) 383-0990 or crallbee@mac. com for reservations and payment ($20) no later than April 9.

Library Connection
Spring book sale begins April 14 A veritable flood of books have been flowing into the Conway Public Library. This is hardly surprising given that the spring cleaning season is upon us. The Friends of the Conway Library are, therefore, holding a spring book sale that will be ongoing for an entire week. The fun begins Saturday, April 14, and runs during regular library hours upstairs in the Reference Room. Hardcover books are generally $1 with paperbacks at 50 cents. Children’s books are on sale at four for $1 and VHS are 50 cents each. The early bird gets the best selection and there is still time to donate gently used books in good condition. Bring them by the library during regular hours. National Library Week Those who believe that technology will shut down libraries often make the following false assumptions: that everyone can afford their own home computer; that everyone knows how to use a computer; that everyone knows how to discern credible information on the Web; that everyone has access to downloadable books and/or knows how to do so; that everyone knows how to deal with that little electronic gizmo that well-meaning relatives gave you for Christmas. Beyond finding a good author, a good film or a good book to listen to on that long drive, libraries help you deal with technology. Celebrate National Library Week, April 8 to 14, by bringing your technology concerns and questions to your local library. You belong at your library. Story time “Let’s Get Hoppin!” is the theme for spring story times at the Conway Public Library. Nine weeks of stories, books, rhymes and songs for preschoolers are offered every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday through May 31. Two-year-olds are on Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m., babies less than 2 years old are on Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m., and three and four year olds on Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. No registra-
tion is necessary and guests and older siblings are always welcome. Hats off Once again our bulletin board aficionados from Kennett High School have created wonderful seasonal displays in the Children’s Room at the Conway Public Library. Cristin Capachiette and Kendall Donaldson deserve kudos for these colorful tributes to poetry. Stop by the library to see them. Coming up Thursday, April 5, at 6:30 p.m. — Meeting of the Teen Advisory Board to plan projects and events for spring. Refreshments served. Bring ideas. Thursday, April 5, at 6:30 p.m. — Starting Point shows “The Purity Myth” based on the book by Kristen Valenti. Free and open to the public. Tuesday, April 10, at 10:30 a.m. — Spring story time for 2 year-olds. No registration necessary. Wednesday, April 11, at 10:30 a.m. — Spring story time for babies less than 2 years old. No registration necessary. Wednesday, April 11, at 3:30 p.m. — Meeting of the Trustees of the Conway Public Library. The public is welcome. Thursday, April 12, at 10:30 a.m. — Spring story time for 3 and 4 year-olds. No registration necessary. Thursday, April 12, at 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. — Next Gen, the library’s youth group for grades six to eight, celebrates “Sit Down Shut Up and Read!” Day. The Conway Public Library’s hours are Monday through Tuesday 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Wednesday 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Thursday 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Friday noon to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information call 447-5552 or visit www.conway.lib.nh.us.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams
DILBERT
By Holiday Mathis outer space makes our human problems seem quite small indeed. It may help you to imagine yourself looking down from far above the Earth’s atmosphere. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Life is a banquet today, and there are too many choices laid out before you to eat in one meal. Before you say “yes” to any one item, consider how it will work with the rest of the plate. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You once worried that your imagination was an exhaustible resource. But it turns out that the more you express your creativity the more there is to express. There’s someone who thrills to your every invention. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll like what happens with your work. People interpret it the way you meant them to -- and that doesn’t happen all the time! You’ll also get extra recognition, and it will feel terrific. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Is it shallow to want to be surrounded by attractive people? So what if it is? It certainly makes the time pass pleasantly this afternoon. And it’s nice to know that your own attractive energy is working, too. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 6). You’ll be applauded on your birthday, as you’ve touched many lives, and your people want to honor you. But it might be more fuss than you’re comfortable with. This month brings a life-changing commitment. May represents a turning point in your professional life. Using your talents in new ways will energize you. Aquarius and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 20, 14, 30 and 11.
Get Fuzzy
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Someone will look at you with big, wet, begging eyes. Still, it’s better for both of you if you’re realistic about what you’ll do for this person. Better to underpromise and over-deliver than the other way around. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re ready to take on anyone about anything. There’s no need to cool your jets, as you’ll be admired for being hot and determined. P.S.: Dinner tonight is exquisite if you’re the chef. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll sense who needs your attention, and whether or not you think it’s essential, you’ll give it generously. You’ll be careful not to waste time with those who won’t find your help useful. CANCER (June 22-July 22). A want may seem urgent now, but it won’t be in a matter of hours. What’s important to you will change over the course of the weekend. Once you get your needs met, they are no longer needs. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What you do will matter, and it’s the only thing that will matter. What won’t matter is what you think, believe or know. Action is the magic wand that makes things happen. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re not always sure how to open your heart or whether you even should. But sometimes your heart’s door just flies open anyway, as though blown by a gust of wind. That’s what happens today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You feel another person’s silent pain, and you answer it with the medicine that will take away this ache. Likely, this has more to do with the soul than the body. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Astronauts have noted that the view from

Yesterday’s Answer
THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Friday, April 6, 2012— Page 27
Today is Good Friday, April 6, the 97th day of 2012. There are 269 days left in the year. The Jewish holiday Passover begins at sunset. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 6, 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. On this date: In 1830, the Church of Jesus Christ of LatterDay Saints was organized by Joseph Smith in Fayette, N.Y. In 1886, the Canadian city of Vancouver, British Columbia, was incorporated. In 1896, the first modern Olympic games formally opened in Athens, Greece. In 1909, American explorers Robert E. Peary and Matthew A. Henson and four Inuits became the first men to reach the North Pole. 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 1954, a month after being criticized by newsman Edward R. Murrow on CBS’ “See It Now,” Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, R-Wis., given the chance to respond on the program, charged that Murrow had, in the past, “engaged in propaganda for Communist causes.” 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 1992, the Supreme Court ruled a Nebraska farmer had been entrapped by postal agents into buying mail-order child pornography. The European Community recognized the former Yugoslav republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina as an independent state. Science-fiction author Isaac Asimov died in New York at age 72. 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: Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi appealed directly to President Barack Obama in a letter to end what Gadhafi called “an unjust war”; he also wished Obama good luck in his bid for re-election. Today’s Birthdays: Nobel Prize-winning scientist James D. Watson is 84. Composer-conductor Andre Previn is 83. Country singer Merle Haggard is 75. Actor Billy Dee Williams is 75. Actor Roy Thinnes is 74. Movie director Barry Levinson is 70. Actor John Ratzenberger is 65. Actress Marilu Henner is 60. Olympic bronze medal figure skater Janet Lynn is 59. Actor Michael Rooker is 57. Rock musician Warren Haynes is 52. Rock singer-musician Frank Black is 47. Author Vince Flynn is 46. Actress Ari Meyers is 43. Actor Paul Rudd is 43. Actor-producer Jason Hervey is 40. Actor Zach Braff is 37. Actress Candace Cameron Bure is 36. Actress Eliza Coupe is 31.

For Sale by Abigail Van Buren
WIFE ON THE ROAD GROWS UNEASY WITH MAN’S BAR-HOPPING HABITS
DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Dan,” and I are in our early 30s and have been married five years. He’s bright, sweet, outgoing and very good-looking. He is in excellent shape and works out at the gym daily. Dan has become friendly with a group of men at the gym. Like him, they are all good-looking and in tip-top shape. They are also gay. One guy in particular, “Harry,” has become quite close to my husband. He often jokes about “recruiting” Dan and comments on Dan’s popularity with “the boys.” My work requires that I travel frequently, and Dan has been going out with Harry to gay bars where he gets “hit on” often. I can tell he likes the attention. I should also mention that Dan seems to be considerably less interested in sex lately. I hate to think of my husband alone and lonely while I’m away, but his going to gay bars every night is beginning to worry me. If I say anything to him about it, he guilt-trips me about my travel. Is it normal for a straight man to seek out the company of gay men? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. -- GAYFRIENDLY IN N.Y.C. DEAR GAY-FRIENDLY: It is unusual for a straight man to frequent gay bars. But would you feel better if Dan was going to straight bars every night and being hit on by women while you’re away? Your greater concern, in my opinion, should be his change in pattern of behavior. If Dan is less interested in sex with you than he has been, then you need to find out why. I have always favored the direct approach. The person you should be discussing this with is your husband. When you do, be frank but not accusatory, and do not allow him to divert the
conversation by making you feel guilty about your business travel. DEAR ABBY: I’m moving soon from Florida to New York. I have a 16-year-old Chihuahua named Pedro who is not in good health. I’m torn about what to do. Should I take him with me, or have him put to sleep? I am an animal lover and have always had pets, but this is the first time I have ever had this problem. I’m renting a truck and will be driving up to New York. Some say the stress will be too much for Pedro. He’s a little fighter, but at his age, I don’t know how he will handle cold weather. He has lived in Florida his whole life. What do you think? I’m asking everyone’s opinion. -- LEAVING THE SUNSHINE STATE DEAR LEAVING: You say Pedro is a fighter -- well, give him a fighting chance. He could surprise you and make it through next winter and several after that. However, although you are asking “everyone’s” opinion, the one that should carry the most weight is Pedro’s veterinarian. DEAR ABBY: My family has been having a debate over the issue of how the name “Jeanne” is pronounced. They think it is pronounced “Jean-nee,” while I am certain it’s pronounced the same as “Jean.” Could you please help us with the correct pronunciation? -- A DOVER, N.H., READER DEAR READER: The name “Jeanne” can be pronounced either way, depending upon the Jeanne’s preference. In my case, it has always been pronounced “Jean-nee.” However, if the name-caller is French, it might be pronounced “J’ahne,” with a very soft “J” -- like Zsa-Zsa. TO MY JEWISH READERS: A happy Passover, everyone!

After three weeks of preseason head coach Peter Ames likes what he’s seen so far. “Really we have a completely new outfield; a new shortstop; new pitchers; and a catcher — other than that we have a lot of experience,” Ames said, laughing, yesterday. “We’re pretty young, but the kids have been working hard and getting better every day.” Ames was upbeat given the performances of the team in its two road exhibition games this week. The Eagles beat Gilford 13-7 on Tuesday and followed that up with an 18-1 victory at Moultonborough on Wednesday. “The scrimmages went pretty well,” Ames said. “I think we hit the ball well and our pitchers were right around the plate. I think people are going to hit the ball against us, but we’re going to force them to put the ball into play. We didn’t walk hardly anyone in either of the games.” The Eagles are scheduled to open the regular season this Monday when they host a strong Berlin squad at 4 p.m. “We’ll spend the next couple of days getting ready for them,” Ames said. “They should be pretty good. The two teams we play from Division III, Berlin and White Mountain, who will be real good, should be among the top teams in their league. They both have strong pitching. “...There are no gimmes on the schedule,” he continued. “It should be an interesting year. Because we’re young, I think we’re the sort of team that will get better as the season goes on.” Ames has compiled a record of 376-121 since 1986 and his team has never missed the playoffs while winning four state championships. “Hopefully, we can continue that streak, but it’s a whole new group,” he said. “Faye (Roberts) missed last year due to a knee injury, and Ashley (Smith) missed the last two years due to a knee injury, we’ll be a little different kind of a team. We lost a group of seniors who had been starting for me since they were freshman. I think we’ll be okay. This is a good group; they’re working hard every day.”
junior Lauren White at first base; senior Sam Janos, who is a four-year starter and has long ball power, returns to second base; freshman shortstop Erin Milford, who has looked right at home defensively and at the plate according to Ames; and junior third baseman Jordyn Moore, who hit over .350 last season for the Eagles. Smith, a senior, will be the team’s designated hitter and is also capable of playing first baseman and a corner outfield spot. She blasted a long three-run homer on Wednesday. “Outfield is where we’re a little up in the air,” Ames. “We’ve got some people, we’ve just got to find the right spots for them.” Sophomore Kaylin Samia, who lettered last year in a versatility role, will patrol center field this year and covers a lot of ground. Freshman Gwynn McGinley, who will also pitch some, will roam in right-field while juniors Jordan Murphy and Alyssa Tetreault have been platooning in left-field. Sophomore Rachel Samia and freshman Ameyla Saras are capable of seeing action in the outfield and Saras can play an assortment of infield spots. The pitching chores will be handled by junior Shelby Hill, sophomore Vonde Saunders and McGinley. “Shelby and Vonde have both pitched well,” Ames said. “I don’t think either walked anyone in both games. Gwynn was a little nervous the first time out, but she’s pitched well, too. None of our pitchers are overpowering. We didn’t strike out a lot of people, but Senior Sam Janos is a four-year starter for the Eagles at second base. we forced teams to put the ball in play. “I think we’re going to have to hit the ball in order Roberts, who hit clean-up her sophomore year to be successful,” Ames said. “In (the scrimmages) when she played left-field, will move behind the everyone up and down the lineup hit pretty well.

CONWAY — Thanks to the early arrival of spring, it’s been one of the most productive preseasons ever for the Kennett High track team. The Eagles are closing out their third week of spring training and have been outdoors pretty much every day and on their home track to boot. “The first week where it was in the 80’s all week, dried everything out and burned off what snow that was left,” Bernie Livingston, Eagles’ head coach, said. “We’ve been on the track, throwing and jumping, all of the things teams down south traditionally do before us every other year.” The Eagles have also had some work done on their home oval. “A couple of holes popped up by the long and jump areas,” Livingston said. “It’s better to get that taken care of now than in the middle of the season.” There were 102 Eagles who signed up for the team but the squad has been whittled down to 92 boys and girls heading into the opening meet of the season. KHS will host Gilford, White Mountain and Berlin in a four-team meet that will begin at 4 p.m. “Last year we got the meet in by one day,” Livingston said. “The last bit of snow melted on the track the day before the meet. ...Last year we had five teams. Hopkinton came over and brought a ton of kids. We had 275 athletes compete in the meet and actually had to turn the lights on after 7 p.m. to get the last couple of events in.” Livingston would prefer another week of training but said the Eagles are ready to take flight. “We have 49 girls and 43 boys out,” he said. “There are a lot of first-timers. I think having the sort of facility we do it’s attracting more people to the sport. ... With 17 events we hope to be able to cover all of the bases. We didn’t really have any high jumpers last year. We’re probably in a little bit of a rebuilding process for the jumpers and hurdlers. We haven’t been able to do any sort of time trials or jumping for distance this past week because it’s been a little on the cold side. “I’d really like another week, but the kids are getting antsy,” Livingston added. “I think we’ll be sort of ready for the first meet.” This year’s team captains are senior Peter Haine and Darien Vaughan for the boys and senior Emmaline Ashe and junior Kate Anderson for the girls. “Darien and Peter are such class acts,” Livingston said. “They’re excellent crossovers between athlete, student and person, it’s really so nice to see. “...Emmaline and Kate are both quiet leaders,” he continued. “They provide leadership by example.” Vaughan will be counted on to throw the shot and discus for the boys and is also a proud member of the 4X100 meter Buffalo relay team. Haine will run the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 meter runs as well as participating on the 4X400 and 4X800 meter relay teams. “Peter is looking the best mechanically I’ve ever seen him,” Livingston said. Ashe will primarily run the 400 and 800 meters and hopes to run all three relays (4X100, 4X400 and 4X800). Anderson, who holds the indoor school record in the shot put, will throw the shot and discus for the Eagles. The Kennett girls have won four consecutive Wilderness League Championships — a feat it’s accomplished on three different occasions under Livingston. No boys or girls team has ever won the championship five consecutive years. The KHS boys were second in the Wilderness League last year. Among other veterans returning, senior Mike Albert is expected to lead the KHS sprinters. He’ll run the 100 and 200 meters and also participate in the 4X100 and 4X400 meter relays. “I suspect he’ll have his best year ever,” Livingston said. Sophomore Gigi Miller, who had a fine indoor track season this winter, will be the top sprinter for the

Kennett girls. She will run the 100, 200 and 4X100 meter relays and possibly the 4X400 relay. Junior Mike Mason, who set the school record indoors in the high jump, will look to soar even higher outdoors this spring. He’ll also run the 100 meters and be a member of the 4X100 meter relay team. Sophomore Grace Ryan should be the No.1 long and triple jumper for the Eagles and will high jump as well as run on the 4X100 relay team. Junior Christine Fournier figures to again be the team’s top javelin thrower while Maddie Perkins will also be a thrower, tossing the shot and discus. Senior Dustin Stewart is looking for big things in the hurdles, running both the 110 and 300 events. He could be worked into the 4X100 relay picture as the season progresses. Juniors Hannah Benson and Sarah Hernandez will be counted on to score points in the distance running events. Senior Seth Davison, who was sidelined with a leg injury last year, is back and has looked stronger than ever in the long and triple jump as well as the pole vault. “Coaches always say I don’t know what I’ve got going into the first meet and I really don’t because it’s been cold and we haven’t been able to time trial. The first meet will be a good indicator of where we are. The whole premise is to just be as competitive as we can. There are 17 events and we’ve got to find

the right one for everyone.” One of the given strengths for the Eagles heading into the season is the continuity among the coaching staff. It’s the seventh consecutive year Livingston has had the same collection of assistants. Tim Livingston, who coaches cross country at the middle school level, is the distance coach, working with athletes at the 800, 1600 and 3200 meter distances along with the 4X800 meter relay teams. Ken Sciacca, a former track coach at the University of Lowell and in Salem, is working with the jumpers (triple, long and high jump) as well as the hurdlers. Peter Kondrat brings a wealth of experience to the throwing events, assisting in the javelin, discus and shot put throwers. Kathleen Murdough is also back and working with athletes on a wide range of events. “I’m happy to have the same cast of characters back,” Livingston said, laughing. “With nearly 100 kids out and 17 events is an impossible task unless you’ve got good people helping and fortunately we do. ... I think there are good and bad things to having the numbers we have. Large numbers may make it difficult to manage everything (along with potentially needing three buses for away meets). The good thing is we can cover more events and develop some talent. I think I’d rather have a lot of athletes than too few.”

Coach Bailey reloads boys tennis roster BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Coach Chris Bailey might be the recruiter of the year. With just four players slated to return — and then one of those moved away — from last year’s squad that just missed the Division II playoffs, it looked like the Kennett High boys tennis ranks would be extremely thin. However, Coach Bailey has assembled an athletic group of 14 enthusiastic players who plan on contending for a playoff berth. “We’ve got a good group out,” Bailey said. “They’re an athletic bunch, a lot of skiers and soccer players.” The Eagles, who have gone 8-6 each of the past two years, finished ninth in 2001, one spot out of post-season play. “I think our lineup is as strong if not a little better than last year,” Bailey said. “Our success will really come down to our opponents and how much they have improved.” It’s been a quick preseason for Bailey and his troops, who are now into their third week of training and have been fortunate to have been outside since day one. “We’ve been on our courts since the beginning,” Bailey said. “The nets weren’t up initially (because there was still ice in the ground), but we got them up last week and we loosen the tension each night. Compared to prior years, this preseason has been great. We’ve been able to get out not he courts pretty much the whole time.” Kennett is scheduled to open the season on its six courts in Redstone this Monday afternoon (4 p.m.) when it hosts Laconia. The Sachems have already opened their season, falling 9-0 against Coe-Brown Academy at home on Monday. KHS will close out the week at Bishop Brady on Friday. The Giants topped St. Thomas 7-2 on Monday. “Laconia is typically a team we’ve had some success against,” Bailey said. “That should tell us a lot about where we are as a team. I think the key
to our success will be how we do against rivals like Laconia, Plymouth and Kingswood, who we each place twice.” Bailey has just one starter returning in his top six this season, but it’s in the No. 1 spot — senior Oren Bentley. Bentley, who player No. 1 last year and went 10-4 and advanced to the state singles tournament, is also the team captain. “He did fine last year at No. 1,” Bailey said. “He’s played quite a bit down in the seacoast league (this winter and fall), he should have a big year for us. He’s like having another coach on the court.” Sophomore and newcomer Danny MacDonald is in the No. 2 singles slot. “H’s played tennis all his life and was a pleasant surprise for us,” Bailey said. “He’s kind of fallen into the no. 2 spot — I’m excited to see how the season goes for him.” Freshman Kyle Blakley is at No. 3 and has looked comfortable on the varsity stage. Junior Nick Sullivan will open at No. 4. “He’s a good little athlete,” Bailey said. “He’s played some tennis in the past; he’s a hustler and understands the game.” Senior Thomas Gregston, who saw action last year in doubles and some singles, is at No. 5. “Thomas is like my assistant captain in hockey,” Bailey said. “He’s really stepped up in a leadership way.” Lucas Tinkham will open at No. 6 “Like Nick,” Bailey said, “he’s another good athlete who has played a little bit. I expect him to do well.” Rounding out the tam are seniors Ryan Burroughs, and Jake Van Deursen, juniors Greg Miller, Kurt Niiler and Robert Schrader and Mike Knorpp; and freshmen Will Madden and Tanat Thanjai. “We’re deep,” Bailey said. “We have a lot of good athletes. I think we’re as strong if not better from an ability standpoint. I think the potential is there to got 10-4, it all depends on how pour matches go, but I’m optimistic. I’m lucky, I’ve got another good group.”
