A reluctant transgender role model

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– DIGEST––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

(NY Times) — “Becoming Chaz,” a documentary about the sex change of Chastity Bono, is an unflinchingly personal film, which will have its premiere on Oprah Winfrey’s network on Tuesday.

The film details Chastity Bono’s journey from her spangled childhood in rhinestone pantsuits on “The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour” to a more recent two years in her televised life: Chastity, now Chaz, invited cameras to witness the searingly intimate experience of his gender transition.

At this point in his transition, Chaz is in his “second puberty,” a six- to seven-year process of hormone injections. The medical technology for genital reconstruction surgery is still too new, expensive, imperfect and risky for him to opt for “bottom surgery.”

At age 13, Chaz knew he was attracted to women, and assumed he was a lesbian.

“I knew my whole life something was different,” he said.

“As a small kid, I could be one of the boys, playing sports, fitting in. When I hit puberty, I felt like my body was literally betraying me. I got smacked everywhere with femaleness.

That was really traumatic.”

Realizing that he should be male took years of deduction.

“Around 2001, I started analyzing lesbians. I started to realize that even really butchacting or -dressing women still had a strong female identity that I never had.”

Al Qaeda confirms bin Laden’s death

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

(NY Times) — Al Qaeda released a statement on militant Web sites Friday confirming the death of Osama bin Laden, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadi Web sites.

The lengthy statement, dated May 3 and signed by Al Qaeda’s General Command, warned of new attacks and called on the Pakistani people to rebel against their government to protest its relations with the

United States.

Bin Laden was killed in a United States raid early Monday morning in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

According to a translation provided by SITE, which ran more than three pages, the statement said that Al Qaeda would not die with its founder and that its members would “continue on the path of jihad.”

Saturday High: 64 Record: 82 (2002) Sunrise: 5:28 a.m.

Nature chooses who will be transgender; individuals don’t choose this.”

—Mercedes Ruehl

CAIRO (NY Times) — About 200 demonstrators gathered outside the United States Embassy here on Friday to protest the killing and burial at sea of Osama bin Laden as manifestations of what they called American hostility to Muslims.

Like many in Egypt, most in the crowd said they doubted bin Laden’s responsibility for the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and instead vented pent-up resentment of America for its invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan as well as its support for Israel.

“Until now there is no legal document which charges or accuses Osama or anyone” of orchestrating the terrorist attacks, said Mamdouh Ismail, a speaker at the demonstration, founder of a new Islamic political party and a candidate for Parliament — apparently unaware of the legal case in New York , filed in 1998 charging bin Laden and Al Qaeda with conspiracy to attack United States defense installations. (Prosecutors said this week that the charges would be dismissed.)

be “wasted in vain.”

“It will remain, with permission from God the Almighty, a curse that chases the Americans and their agents, and goes after them inside and outside their countries,” the letter said. “Soon — with help from God — their happiness will turn into sorrow, and their blood will be mixed with their tears.”

The authors of the statement said

Data show bin Laden plots; C.I.A. hid near raided house WASHINGTON (NY Times) — After reviewing computer files and documents seized at the compound where Osama bin Laden was killed, American intelligence analysts have concluded that the chief of Al Qaeda played a direct role for years in plotting terror attacks from his hide-out in Abbottabad, Pakistan, United States officials said Thursday.

The C.I.A. had Bin Laden’s compound under surveillance for months before American commandos killed him in an assault on Monday, watching and photographing residents and visitors from a rented house nearby, according to several officials briefed on the operation. The documents taken at the Abbottabad compound, according to American officials, show that Bin Laden was in touch regularly with the terror network he created.

With his whereabouts and activities a mystery in recent years, many intelligence analysts and terrorism experts had concluded that he had been relegated to an inspirational figure with little role in current and future Qaeda operations.

Godspeed, whether it’s 1st or 5th tour

BY APRIL GUILMET THE UNION LEADER

LONDONDERRY — Some were headed out for their fourth or fifth tour, while other members of the Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment, were saying their good-byes for the first time.

Though it’s never easy to deploy for a lengthy stint, members of the Londonderry-based Marine battalion had hundreds and hundreds of family members, friends, fellow veterans and local political leaders there to wish them safe travels and many happy returns.

A farewell ceremony at the Londonderry Armed Forces Reserve Center was held for the battalion’s 200 or so Marines — all being sent to Afghanistan for an estimated seven months.

It was standing room only in the main hall at the Reserve Center,

where the room overflowed with pride, well wishes and more than a few tears.

Nashua resident John Panny, father of Lance Cpl. Josh Panny, 21, beamed with pride when faced with his son’s first deployment.

“His mother’s a lot more nervous than his dad is,” Panny said, his eyes never leaving his son’s. “This is something you try to prepare yourself for.

You just want to wish them all Godspeed and try and give them the proper send-off they all deserve.”

Outside, Lance Cpl. David Munn of Abington, Mass., stole a few last moments with his parents, grandparents, cousins and other relatives.

Munn’s grandparents, Ed and Diane O’Neil, drove to Londonderry from Intervale, over two hours away, to hug their first grandson before he left for what would be his first deployment.

“We wouldn’t have missed it,” Ed O’Neil said.

MWV soccer club kicks off spring play Mount Washington Valley Soccer Club is off and kicking for the spring season. On a glorious, bright sunny afternoon, the Sunday Recreation League kicked off in fine fashion on May 1.

Close to 100 participants and their parents heard opening greetings from Interim Director John Skelton and Technical Director/Curriculum Coordinator Giovanni Pacini.

The program continues for six consecutive Sundays, culminating with the season-ending Jamboree-Play Day on June 12.

Divided to four developmentally appropriate groups, with activities, field sizes, goals and instruction to specifically match players level of ability and understanding, the U6, U8, U10 and U12 Divisions all experienced lots of ball touches, fun games and challenges during the opening afternoon of play.

A limited number of spots are open in each age group. For any who still wish to join, preregister ASAP by direct email contact to Skelton: (603) 986-3676, or Skelton603@ yahoo.com.

MWVSC travel teams of spring 2011 are experiencing a new challenge: a move into the Granite State Youth Soccer League has lifted the level for three teams at U12, U14 and U18 from earlier spring seasons.

Kennett High boys varsity coach Mike Jenne gets an early look at some future Eagles with the U12

entry who earned a split in weekend road games.

The U14 Futures entry features a strong contingent of girls and boys competing in the GSYSL Boys U14 Second Division. A hard-fought 2-2 result on April 16 at Auburn was followed by a 5-0 home loss against an athletic visiting side from Merrimack this past Saturday. Abbie Hoefs, in midfield, and Malcolm Badger, at sweeper back, were cited

by Coach Dave Hart for early season stalwart play.

U18 Boys improved to two wins and no losses with a 3-0 victory over Merrimack in the second game of last Saturday’s home doubleheader at Kennett Middle School. This follows a 5-0 win at Amherst on April 16. Austen Bernier and Bryce Philips have directed the central midfield, and several different players have tallied goals on the young season.

Junior goalkeeper Scott Conner showed great poise when infrequently challenged in this Saturday’s shutout. Conner came off his line to control his box with confidence, and parried one dangerous, dipping high shot over the crossbar with ease.

This weekend, travel teams play as follows: U18s are at Hudson on Saturday and at Amherst U16s on Sunday. U14s travel to Windham, on Sunday and U12s host Milford this Saturday at 1 p.m. at Kennett

DIGEST OF STORIES IN THE SUN THIS WEEK

Saturday, April 30 * Long a landmark in the village, the Tamworth Inn has been sold and now awaits the wrecking ball. Plans for the site are not yet decided. * A tragic week ends with a candlelight remembrance for Krista Dittmeyer, the 20-year-old woman whose body was found in a pond at the base of Cranmore after a fiveday search. * A Fryeburg man wanders out of the woods hours after his Highland Park home burns to the ground early Friday morning. * County commissioners rescind a policy on the impound yard that could have forced local police departments to find another place to store vehicles being held for evidence.

Tele-Talk Should the attorney general’s office should be providing the public with more information regarding the Krista Dittmeyer investigation?

It’s been two weeks since Krista Dittmeyer’s car was found in the Cranmore parking lot, engine running and infant daughter inside. It’s been 10 days since Dittmeyer’s body was found in a Cranmore snow-making pond.

An autopsy has been performed, but no conclusions have been reached regarding the “cause and manner” of Dittmeyer’s death. “It remains pending due to toxicology results having to be returned,” assistant attorney general Jane Young said at a press conference on April 28. And that is virtually the last the public has heard from Young, who is the prosecutor in charge of the case and the point person for media inquiries. Young is determined to not say anything that might jeopardize the investigation. The public, meanwhile, is left with pieces of information and rumors. Conway police chief Ed Wagner acknowledged at a police commission meeting this week that “there are a lot of rumors out there.” But, he added, probably less than a quarter of them are true.

This week’s Tele-Talk: Should the attorney general’s office should be providing the public with more information regarding the Krista Dittmeyer investigation?

Call 733-5822 Saturday and Sunday and leave your comments on our machine. You may fax your responses to 356-8360 or e-mail them to news@conwaydailysun.com. Comments can also be posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page. Results will be published Tuesday.

Tuesday, May 3 * The Pines Lodge and Motel, which once housed Redstone Quarry workers, is scheduled for demolition this week. The property will be sold. * Madison's new ambulance contract is so inadequate that it puts residents' lives in danger, the fire chief tells selectmen. * Conway police have made no arrests in last week's armed robbery at Jonathon's Seafood.

Wednesday, May 4 * More than 300 people attend the funeral for Krista Dittmeyer, the woman whose body was found in a pond at Cranmore last week after a four-day search. "Life with Krista was never dull," said one speaker. "She never had an unexpressed thought." * With the disappearance of Krista Dittmeyer, an armed robbery at Jonathon's Seafood and several other events, Conway Police Department blew through a quarter of its overtime budget last week. * With all but one seat filled, Conway Budget Committee meets Wednesday for the first time since the April elections. * A Moultonborough woman is being accused of felony incest and other charges for allegedly engaging in sex acts with her stepson. see DIGEST page 10

Off the Wall The following are some of the comments posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page this week: On the death of Osama bin Laden, and the Sun’s Facebook declaration: “Obama gets Osama.”

“Our soldiers got Osama!” — Angela Delafontaine “Get the facts straight. The men and women who protect us got Osama! Not Obama.” — Stephanie Phare “Give credit where it is due! Obama, unlike Bush, put the focus in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the place we were attacked from! He led our troops to victory and deserves credit.” — John White “Does it really matter specifically who did the deed?

The important part is that there is one less terrorist on the planet who caused the deaths of many. We should all be thankful for this and not display our dislike for anyone other than him. Hatred breeds hatred. Osama proved it many times over.” — Sharon Haley “I’m just happy and relieved to know that he is finally dead. I remember in 2004 doing maritime interceptions in the Persian Gulf and surrounding oceans, passing out “Osama fliers” to the local fishermen and merchant ships, and also looking for any possible links to him. As a proud veteran, every soldier and sailor who served our country had a play in this final day.” — Robin Gregg On the planned demolition of Pines Lodge and Motel in Redstone.

“I know it’s gotten very run down, but it’s still sad to

lose a piece of history.” — Brian Savary “I always hoped someone would purchase and utilize this building.” — Rebekah Bushey “I always thought if they fixed it up a bit, it would have made a good apartment for people in Redstone.” — Ashleigh Nash “So sad to see history go by the wayside. I too was hoping someday someone would buy it and restore it.” — Rae Thompson “About time — before someone gets hurt!” — Dave Dempsey “My 14-year-old son’s dream was to own and restore that Inn. He has had this dream since he was 8 years old. I was always amazed by the visions he had for that old place. It was the one thing I wish I could have given him. He has such an appreciation for the history of that building.

Sad to see us lose more valley history.” — Corie Hodgdon Henney Sullivan, student body president at Kennett High, is selected as a National Merit Scholarship winner.

“This young man was accepted to four Ivy League schools. Four! The school system has been taking hits for years, and in response Kennett just launched a missile named Henney Sullivan!” — Julie James “Don’t forget this young man’s parents! Apparently they must’ve set an excellent example. Well done.” — John White

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Bin Laden is dead.

What does it mean?

The White House has never seen a night quite like Sunday.

The president of the United States alerted the press he had an announcement not only for the nation but also for the world. He appeared gravely before a microphone announcing the death of a foreign leader and pronouncing it an act of justice. Outside the executive mansion crowds cheered. In military installations and at airports security was heightened. A great goal was achieved, but finality in the broader struggle remained elusive.

Osama bin Laden was the subject of the largest, longest and most important manhunt in the history of American national security. Kaiser Wilhelm II was an American opponent for one year, Hideki Tojo was the face of America's Japanese enemy in World War II for three years, and Adolf Hitler was the personification of America's war against Nazi Germany for four years. But for Americans, bin Laden's languid eyes and iron resolve were for nearly a full decade the symbol of evil, and of the dangerous new era the nation entered the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.

In the past 24 hours details have been dribbling out about the raid on a $1 million mansion in Abbottabad, Pakistan, surrounded by barbed wire but without Internet or even telephone connections — the bin Laden analogue of the Fuhrerbunker where Hitler died in 1945 or the hole at the Tikrit farmhouse where Saddam Hussein was found in 2003 — along with pictures of the bloody scene there at the end of a narrow dirt road 65 miles north of Islamabad.

The killing of bin Laden and his burial at sea may be the answer to many prayers and may eventually bring a safer world. But the death of the al-Qaida leader raises myriad questions and may raise the threat to Americans' safety for the time being. Here are some of those questions: — Is the death of bin Laden the 2011 equivalent of the death of Benito Mussolini or of Josef Stalin?

Mussolini's death, followed by the hanging of his body upside down at a Milan gas station (you can view the grim spectacle on YouTube), was one of the final steps on the way to Axis defeat in World War II. But the death of Stalin, who perished slowly after a stroke in 1953, was only a historical marker on the long Cold War road. Stalin eventually was succeeded by Nikita Khrushchev, who continued the Soviet struggle with the West, which would not end for another 36 years.

For all the talk of "closure" brought by the death of bin Laden, shot in the head by Navy SEALS, it neither closes the war on terrorism nor even the more narrow struggle against al-Qaida, which is one of many rogue extra-national groups that threaten the United States and its allies, particularly Israel. In fact, Washington cautioned Americans to increase rather than relax their vigilance.

— What are the many meanings of the death of bin Laden?

For starters, it is a symbol of American determination even in the face of failure and frustration.

The bin Laden trail grew cold many times, but former President George W. Bush and Obama were committed to root him out.

The death of al-Qaida's strategic and spiri-

tual leader also signals that American human-intelligence efforts, derided if not ridiculed during the Iraq and Afghan wars, retain great strength and skill and that American military forces, who rehearsed the bin Laden raid twice, possess great flexibility and ingenuity.

Bin Laden's demise also suggests that terrorist leaders cannot forever escape American capture or killing.

— Why did Obama make this moment his own?

The president announced the killing of the great American nemesis because it was the realization of what he described as "the most significant achievement to date" in the effort against terrorism. So important to the president was this operation in politically sensitive Pakistan that he personally authorized it.

The president also wanted to ensure that the death of bin Laden was handled discretely and without triumphalism. In this regard, the Obama announcement echoed President George H.W. Bush's admonition that American officials not gloat in the face of the destruction of the Berlin Wall and the demise of communism in 1989.

— What are the dangers ahead?

The first is a retaliatory attack against U.S. companies, military installations or cultural icons at home or abroad. Foes of American policy or adherents to the bin Laden creed will be more motivated this week than they have been in years.

Then there is the American relationship with Pakistan. Ties between the two nations, early allies in the war on terror, are frayed and will be further endangered as a result of this U.S. military operation. Though the president cited Pakistani assistance in the raid, officials in Islamabad were not notified in advance of the operation and on Monday emphasized it was an American effort prosecuted by American troops traveling in American helicopters.

— Finally, what are the domestic political consequences 18 months before the American presidential election?

Certainly this success improves Obama's profile as a warrior against terrorism, buttressed by former President George W. Bush's remarks shortly after the announcement of bin Laden's death. The killing of bin Laden deprives Obama's rivals of criticism that his fecklessness permitted the nation's most-wanted enemy to operate unimpaired for another four years.

But these sorts of national-security triumphs often do not translate into political success.

George H.W. Bush presided over the fall of communism and the defeat of Iraq but was himself defeated by Bill Clinton in 1992. Winston Churchill presided over the Allied effort in World War II but was ousted from office after victory in Europe and before victory in the Pacific. Both leaders lost decisively.

So this week's events enhance the president's re-election prospects, but offer no assurance of his political survival.

Exciting things happening at your co-op To the editor: Hi, I’m Gail Paine and I am running for re-election to the board of directors of New Hampshire Electric Co-op.

It’s been a wonderful experience serving the members of NHEC and I would appreciate your vote when you receive your ballot during the week of May 9 – 13.

There are many exciting things happening at your co-op these days, including the deployment later this year of an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI).

Between now and October 2012, every co-op member will be receiving a new electric meter that is capable of sending and receiving information. This Smart Grid technology means that your meter will be reporting its own readings multiple times

per day, instead of a meter reader visiting your property once a month. For the first time, you will be able to see your electric use in hourly or even minute-byminute increments. We hope that co-op members will use this technology, and the programs it makes possible, to better understand and manage your energy usage.

I am available by email at gpaine@roadrunner.com or by telephone at 356-5159 and look forward to communicating with you. Please vote this year when you receive your ballot. Like all democratic institutions, New Hampshire Electric Cooperative functions best when more members vote and participate.

Gail F. Paine Intervale

I think that child abuse should be stopped To the editor: I’m Ricky White and I am a student at Conway Elementary School. I am writing to you about stopping child abuse. There are many reasons child abuse should be stopped. It should be stopped because children are being hurt, but they can’t do anything about it except tell the police.

But as I see it the children are too scared to tell the police because of the parent.

I think that the parent does it to get their anger out from stress and other things.

Please stop child abuse. If child abuse is stopped then children of all ages will not get abused from parents.

Have you ever wondered how kids feel when kids are abused? I don’t think that they would feel too good.

The expense is that it will cost money to stop child abuse. The investigators who look into the cases might lose their job because they might not need that many investigators if child abuse was stopped.

Would you have children get hurt because of child abuse or have people lose their jobs? Think about that honestly. I think that child abuse should be stopped.

Thank you for reading this.

Planned razing of Pines Lodge and Tamworth Inn strikes a nerve among preservationists

The Pines Lodge and Motel in Redstone is undergoing the wrecking crane this week. The owner of the property wants to have the commercially-zoned lot cleared to increase its chances for being sold. (JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTO)

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

Preservation has been in the news in Mount Washington Valley this week, centered on plans to raze two local landmarks.

The first property is the Pines Lodge and Motel, the oldest of which once served as turn-of-the-century lodging quarters for workers of the Redstone Quarry.

The second property slated to be razed is the Tamworth Inn, which was purchased April 29 by Steven Grasse of Philadelphia and Tamworth.

News stories in The Conway Daily Sun over the past week about the two properties prompted discussions on this paper's Facebook site and on the Tamworth Exchange electronic community page.

As Sun Facebook responder Kate Eastman wrote regarding Pines Lodge, “We were just talking about this [the Pines Lodge building] after reading about the Tamworth Inn [Saturday] ... pieces of history, once they are gone, they are gone.”

Facebook responder Elizabeth Schoch added, “It's a shame these two old buildings are being demolished.”

Others were less-preservation leaning about the Pines Lodge: Said Facebooker Margaret Cram, “It is about time they did away with that old building.” see next page

Said Claes Swede Hermanson, “[It] would make a good Ghost Hunters episode.”

Regarding the Tamworth Inn, Other Store owner Kate Thompson on the Tamworth Exchange said it is too bad that grants have not been explored for saving the Tamworth Inn. “Any building can be rehabbed, and any rehab can be financed if there is will, passion and commitment by a few people (or many, better yet!) to make it happen ... I think now the question is, is the new owner, Steve Grasse, open to conversation with us on this topic? Is it really too late?”

••• Owned by Pines Lodge Realty Trust of Westwood, Mass., the commerciallyzoned Pines Lodge property on Route 302 is to be cleared to increase its chances of being sold, notes trustee Tom Daly, whose late parents ran the lodge and motel.

Daly said this week that his late mother, Clare Daly, twice had sold the lodge but had to step back in and take over ownership when those ventures failed.

“Since my mom died, we have had a 'For Sale' sign up, as we had hoped that someone would buy the property.

Although some were close to making a decision over the years, others were just dabbling, so it never happened,” said Daly Monday.

He is planning to donate parts of the quarry-cut granite foundation so it can be used for a Redstone Quarry memorial that local quarry history enthusiast Steve Swenson is planning for the park across the street at the

entrance to Redstone Village.

According to Daly, his parents acquired the property in the late 1940s from Clare's brother, Ed Carcioffo, who lived in Boston but who knew many of the Italian workers who had come to Redstone to work in the quarry.

“They were married and had the reception there in October 1948. They went on their honeymoon and when they came back, everyone was still staying there,” said Daly, a member of the Kennett High Class of 1967.

••• The 2.1-acre Tamworth Inn property is located at 15 Cleveland Hill Road and was listed for sale for $575,000. No purchase price was disclosed by the listing agent, Peg Huddleston of Lloyd and Day Real Estate of Chocorua.

The inn has remained vacant since it was foreclosed upon last year by LaSalle Bank National Association of Dallas, Texas.

The oldest part of the inn dates back to 1888.

A building inspection by Bergeron Technical Services of North Conway showed that the building is “too far gone,” according to Grasse, head of Quaker City Mercantile advertising agency and owner of the soon-to-open Tamworth Lyceum, located down Main Street from the inn.

A marketeer of alcoholic spirits, Grasse told the Sun he has yet to determine what he may do at the Main Street property, given septic limitations, but that plans may include building a distillery for liqueurs using locally-grown grains. see next page

Hi! My name is Poppy Poppy is a beautiful little calico tiger and she is a true miracle.

Little Poppy was found in a driveway, frozen and at first it was believed she was dead. Thankfully she has a strong will to survive and beat the odds. The only outward sign of her ordeal is her ears, the tips were frozen off. She is about 6 months old and is quite small. It is believed that she will not grow much bigger. She is very shy but is slowly coming out of her shell. Poppy is looking for that special family that can give her the love and attention she desperately deserves.

“I am not sure yet what we will do there. I am very interested in [alcoholic] spirits, and I am particularly interested in farmto-bottle: using locally-grown ingredients to make spirits, using such grains as rye,” said Grasse last month.

Grasse had originally wanted to open a distillery in the store next to the Other Store, but that possibility was ruled out by the state fire marshal because of its close proximity to that structure.

Hence that store's ongoing restoration as the Village Lyceum, which will be a combination gallery, grocery, hard goods, reading area and coffee shop.

••• When the razing of the Tamworth Inn occurs, some Tamworth Exchange users are saying the town should film a memorial to the inn and the yellow building behind it, known as the Tamworth Gardens, as the action takes place, according to former town moderator George Cleveland, who moderates the website.

Cleveland recalls doing the

same for local Valley Vision Channel 3 when Barnaby's was razed to make way for Staples several years ago.

“A number of people are hoping that we can hold a celebration/ memorial storytelling gathering at some point in honor of the Tamworth Inn's and Tamworth Gardens' long and vivid history and all our many and varied memories of both, and help us all with the great sadness of [losing] them,” wrote Cleveland.

Ann Albrecht, 67, of the Tamworth Historical Society, worked at the inn during her high school years from the summer of 1959 through the summer of 1962.

“There were three of us. The first year I worked with Paige Norcross [Gibson) and Linda Webster. Linda later died in a car crash. The other years, I worked with Barbara Staples (Meader) and Ann Thurston (Gardner.

There was also a teenage boy who did chores,” recalled Albrecht.

She said she and the other waitresses earned $10 a week from the Haskells, out of which they paid Social Security. The Haskells provided the young ladies with board, room and uniforms.

“Officially, we lived at home since we were teenagers,” said Albrecht in a story penned for the historical society, “but we stayed at the inn many nights because it was easier to get to work in the morning. Each of us had one day off per week. In those days, nobody even thought of calling in sick, and we worked every major holiday.”

She said the only entertainment to be had in town was to go square dancing on Thursday nights at Huckins Barn, or go to the Barnstormers the other nights.

“Sometimes,” she laughs, “we went to the Barnstormers ALL the other nights. Alice Cleveland, when she kept seeing us night after night, sometimes gave us free seats when the house wasn't full.”

The waitresses averaged $100 a week in tips — great money in those days. “That was twice what my father was making. And, I still got my 50 cents allowance!” said Albrecht this week. “My father told me to save my money. I did — I put it in the bank, and it helped me start my college career.”

“There were always Barnstormers people around in summer, and interesting relatives of Barnstormers people. It was an interesting way to grow up,” said Moss.

In fall, deer hunters stayed at the inn.

In winter, skiers stayed at the inn so they could ski at nearby Mount Whittier.

“The only down times were before Christmas, after the deer season was over, and April,” she said.

It was demanding work, seven days a week, but the Haskells enjoyed it.

“My mother would be up at 6 for breakfast, and she wouldn't get to bed until 11. They never complained, but it had to be a hard way to make a living,” said Moss.

She said it will be sad to see what still seems like home to her torn down.

“To me, the inn is still home ... It has always been something very special about the inn. What made me the saddest when I went back was I looked for the black raspberries by the townhouse that I remember so well from when I was growing up. They were gone!”

Will she return for the razing?

“I came back in August for a Brett School reunion — I was class of 1967,” said Moss. “I had thought about it, but I do not think I will be able to go back when they tear it down — my son is deploying to Afghanistan at about the same time. I might do it, and but emotionally I think it would just be too much. I don't want to see the whole town screaming or crying, or to have them see me crying and breaking down. I've been crying for days as it is.”

••• For local history enthusiast and former Red Jacket Mountain View general manager Carl Lindblade of Stow, Maine, the stories about the sad fate of the Pines Lodge and the Tamworth Inn underscore the need for hospitality businesses to be maintained.

She recalls that cast members from the Barnstormers used to eat their lunches every day in the inn's snack bar. “The inn was the only place to eat in town. Many of them lived at Mrs. Behr's rooming house, located down the street across from where Carl Behr lives now,” said Albrecht.

“No one had cars of their own back in those days. Cast members would rehearse in the morning for the next week's show, and they would present a show every night, so they would sit in the Swift River during the day to cool off,” she said.

The Haskells were wonderful people to work for, Albrecht said.

“The Haskells were very good to us kids. We loved working for them.

I learned my work ethic from them,” said Albrecht, who after college worked as a teacher in Boston and always had a second job. She returned to Tamworth 40 years later and is now involved with the Tamworth Historical Society.

Lindblade, now an affiliate professor of hospitality management at the University of New Hampshire's Whittemore School of Business, has his students as part of their coursework read late New Hampshire and Florida hotelier Karl P. Abbott's book, “Open for the Season,” published in 1950.

In that classic book, Abbott tells of the challenges that face all cashstrapped hoteliers — such as those who tried to make a go at the Pines Lodge and the Tamworth Inn. “[Abbott] described what happened to inns that failed to maintain and improve their property by characterizing it as a formula for building a bat roost,” said Lindblade this week in a phone interview from the UNH campus.

“Essentially,” said Lindblade, “he described how there was a loose doornob at a hotel, and instead of it being fixed at once as it should be, it is left alone until such time as it falls out, and then because the hotel is not in crisp condition, as it should be, the innkeeper reduces his or her rates in order to still draw business in. Then, as revenue is reduced, he or she is further unable to maintain it, so the downward spiral gets worse.

“The end result? Zero guests, the hotel's out of business, it stands empty, and it becomes a highly-visible and acceptable first-class bat roost,” said Lindblade.

“The economic lessons we learn are as valid today as they were 100 years ago,” said Lindblade. “Innkeepers must charge a rate that affords them a fair return of their investment, and that

Just what is a ‘lyceum?’

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

TAMWORTH — Philadelphia entrepreneur and Tamworth Inn purchaser Steven Grasse is restoring the former Village Store, and plans to open it in mid-June as the Tamworth Lyceum.

What's a “lyceum?”

The store's website offers an explanation.

“In the 1830’s, many of New England’s major intellectual figures were experiencing a familiar disenchantment. Eminent writers like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Walt Whitman, as well as influential reformers as Margaret Fuller, Broson Alcott, and Frederick Hedge, began to hold meetings where they discussed a common frustration with the condition of their rapidly industrializing country. These meetings were the seedbed of the revolution in American thought now referred to as transcendentalism. Transcendentalists were bound together by a common utopian ethos. Against the frantic and unreflective character of contemporary life, they emphasized early America’s more har-

monious union of nature and society, and the self-reliance and individualism that it fostered.”

During the summer and fall season, the website says that “the lyceum will host both public and private events featuring beer/wine/cocktails, new product samples, and work from local and visiting artists.

Lecturers, and other experts in transcendental literature/ theory and areas of niche interest will be invited to present programs for the public.”

His Quaker City website further says that the lyceum will be “a rustic dry goods/grocery store with light beverage service, printmaking studio, and event space.”

Further insight into Grasse's entrepreneurial beliefs as summed up by his “Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction” approach is offered by the website for his Philadelphiabased Quaker City Mercantile advertising agency: “Our mission is to resist the cheapening of American existence that results from exhaustive commercialization.”

It further adds: “We believe in the impor-

Entrepreneur Steven Grasse drawn by Tamworth’s tranquility

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

TAMWORTH — Philadelphia advertising dynamo Steven Grasse of Quaker City Mercantile is a true “Renaissance Man” — someone whose expertise spans everything from marketing, authoring books and gentleman farming, to making films, beer and alcoholic liqueurs.

A self-described historic preservationist, the 46-year-old entrepreneur on April 29 bought the foreclosed-upon Tamworth Inn, a Main Street village landmark that has been closed for a year. Due to the inn's poor condition, it is to be razed.

Among his many business endeavors, Grasse creates the liqueur, Root, which he says is doing “very well” in New Hampshire.

He is also a major shareholder in Narrangansett Brewing Company of Rhode Island, formerly the official beer of the Boston Red Sox, and said to be “the fastest growing beer in New England.”

Although a resident of Philadelphia, he says he is no stranger to New Hampshire. He says his mother's side of the family has ties to New Hampshire

dating back to the 1600s.

As a boy, his family traveled from Philadelphia to spend summers at Grasse's uncle's in Meredith.

So when he sold his “Sailor Jerry” rum brand a few years ago, he decided to buy a place in New Hampshire to return at least part time to the Granite State.

“I decided that I wanted to go back to the place where I spent the best times I ever had in my life — summers in New Hampshire as a kid,” said Grasse, a father of two young children.

Tamworth, with its classic New England village architecture, fits the bill.

He bought Henry Mock's 72-acre farm on Great Hill Road in Tamworth two years ago.

Grasse last year bought the former Village Store, and is in the midst of renovating the 200-year-old structure as the Tamworth Lyceum.

The Lyceum is described on its website as “a modern New England mercantile in the mountains of northern New Hampshire, offering specialty grocery items and beverage counter service.”

It also houses a community lecture and event space that Grasse hopes will host programs covering “practical and philosophical topics and provide

a nexus for discussion of ideas, and nourishment of body and intellect.”

••• Grasse had originally wanted to open a distillery in the store, but that possibility was ruled out by the state fire marshal because of its close proximity to the Other Store next door.

It remains to be seen whether a distillery could be built on the site of the Tamworth Inn, located just down Main Street across from the Remick Farm Museum and the Tamworth Congregational Church.

Foreclosed upon last year by LaSalle Bank National Association of Dallas, Texas, the 2.1-acre inn property is located at 15 Cleveland Hill Road and was listed for sale for $575,000.

Terms of the sale were not disclosed.

Based on an overview of the inn's deteriorated state

by Bergeron Technical Services of North Conway, Grasse confirmed this week that he plans to raze the structure, parts of which date back to 1888.

Tamworth has no zoning limiting what could be built at the site, other than septic constraints.

••• The following interview with Grasse was conducted on April 26, three days before the closing of the sale for the Tamworth Inn property.

Q: What are your plans for the Tamworth Inn property?

SG: I am not sure yet. As you know, I am very, very interested in [alcoholic] spirits. I am particularly interested in farm-to-bottle — using locally grown ingredients to make spirits would be very interesting to use a lot of rye grains.

I will say that I am not really interested in tourism. The things that we do are much more artisanal and high quality and kind of low key.

Q: Why are you buying the inn?

SG: One of the reasons why I [wanted] to buy it is that I wanted to make sure that whatever does go in there is conducive to the rest of the town. So, the best way to ensure that is to take care of it yourself.

No one up there really knows me yet, but they have to trust that I value land and historic preservation. Zero growth is my mantra. see next page

from preceding page

Q: Did you consider preserving the inn, versus razing it?

SG: We did look at what we could do to save the building, but it's not possible. No one has come forth other than the [non-profit agency that had wanted to provide elderly housing]. It could have sat there for who knows how long. So, yes, we did look at it, but it's just too much.

Q: What are your plans for both the inn and the Lyceum?

SG: We are concentrating on getting the store open this June, and as for the inn, we will be doing what's needed to stabilize the site and to reduce liability to me as the owner and the town.

I have not done any sort of planning [for the inn site] — it's more of it being a great location and the town is fantastic. It seems like a nice venture.

What's nice in a way about the Tamworth Inn site is that due to the sewer and water issues, it limits what can go in there. So, that's a good thing, and what we do will be visually and aesthetically pleasing to the town.

It will be very 19th century versus 21st century — compatible with the farmer's museum across the street.

We don't want to change anything — I like things nice and small and quiet; we're not talking of making it a tourist mecca or putting in a racetrack or a snowboard park or anything like that. I like things quiet and low key.

Q: George Cleveland [former town moderator, and nephew of late Barnstormers cofounder Francis Cleveland] says people would love it if whatever you build there, that it have a dining component that would complement the cultural offerings at the nearby playhouse.

SG: I can't say at this point about a food and pub type situation — it depends on the water and sewage situation. But yeah, it sounds lively to have a food and dining component. It sounds nice but I won't commit at this point.

Q: Your Quaker City Mercantile website describes your advertising agency as “a hybrid of 19th century mercantilism and 21st century artistry;” and that your company “believes in the importance of making things.” Describe your thoughts as that could pertain to your potential “farm-to-bottle” operations in Tamworth?

SG: What's interesting to me about Tamworth is

Steven Grasse (QUAKER MERCANTILE PHOTO)

that it still has its agricultural roots. I think it would be interesting for [local] farmers to have another avenue for their crops for which they could get higher prices and which encourages agricultural legacy.

Perfect Mother’s Day Gifts

With 17 members, budget committee may be too big for town hall

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — After years of often struggling to reach a quorum, the budget committee has now reached the point where it has outgrown the meeting room at Conway Town Hall.

All 17 seats were full for the first time Wednesday during the committee's first meeting since last month's election. All agreed it was a little crowded around the table, so much so that the committee is exploring relocating to the professional development room at the Kennett Middle School in the near future.

School superintendent Carl Nelson attended Wednesday's meeting, and, seeing the budgeteers in close confines, offered the room that has housed the Conway School Board for its meetings sine January.

"With all of the federal funds that came through, we were able to set up the professional development room," Nelson said. "You're

microphones.

"It may take a couple of months, but I can ask Bill Edmunds (director of Valley Vision) and Andy Grigel (building and grounds director for the Conway School District) to put a proposal together."

Budgeteer Betty Loynd liked the idea of relocating to the bigger room, which is also airconditioned. "I think it can hold a couple hundred people," she said.

Colleague Bill Marvel was concerned about public access to the room and joked the Kennett Middle School was more difficult to get into than some prisons.

Karen Umberger was also concerned about the public attending but also wanted to make sure there would be good audio for the viewers at home.

Sordi agreed to visit the room to see if it addresses the committee's needs, and he will report back to the group at its next meeting, June 15, which will be at town hall.

certainly welcome to use it when it's available."

"You're right, we suddenly find ourselves very crowded now," Dave Sordi, chair of the committee, said smiling. He explained concern with the budget committee relocating is that the Valley Vision (Channel 3) equipment, including microphones, soundboard, monitor and cameras, is all set up in the meeting room.

The meeting room at the Conway Police Department has been used by the committee in the past when town hall wasn't available, but Sordi no longer sees that as a viable option. "It wouldn't work for us at all now, it's just way too tight," he said.

Mike DiGregorio, the selectmen's representative to the committee, said selectmen were aware of the professional development room being built and planned to outfit that room for Valley Vision. He offered to look into how quickly that move could be made. DiGregorio also said the current audiovisual equipment at town hall is being replaced by more modern devices such as voice-activated

Blueberry cake and Blueberry Mountain Hiking –––––

A special day like Earth Day is appreciated Ed Parsons the most when you know about it beforehand. But this year, it snuck up on me, and I didn’t know about it until mid-morning on Earth Day. That happened to others I knew as well.

Early that morning, I had headed to Evans Notch to climb Blueberry Mountain (1,781 feet) for a hiking column. On my way up Route 113, I stopped at the Stow Corner Store for a cup of coffee. I ended up getting a delicious piece of blueberry coffee cake as well.

In the past, it was fun to give a plug for the Stow Corner Store in my hiking column. I often went hiking in Evans Notch with friends, and we would stop on the way home with a hankering for something sweet. Back then the store was run by Al and Linda Wright. Al was a multitalented artist, not only with paint and brush. Every day, he created a wondrous variety of pastry.

The store was also known for generous ice cream cones and on a hot summer day, that was usually the way we went.

When the store closed five years ago, my friends and I half-joked that it wasn’t worth hiking in Evans Notch any more.

So, it was with renewed hope in the summer of 2009, when it became obvious that someone was doing carpentry work at the store. The store opened again in July 2010. I stopped by once, see next page

after a hot summer hike up Blueberry Mountain, where I had been eaten alive by deer flies. The new owner was an interesting woman named Maureen Reilly. I bought a piece of pastry, which was just as good as Al’s. That week, I passed the word in my column that they were open.

On this Earth Day morning (before I knew it was), the blueberry coffee cake was so good I knew that a better plug for the store was in order. I told Maureen I would call her later, and headed.

I drove north for seven miles and turned right on the dirt Stone House Road.

The hike up Blueberry Mountain was a lot different than the last time, and much earlier in the season. The Stone House Road had been plowed, likely by the stone house caretaker, Frank Eastman. Yet it was a narrow track of muddy ruts between high walls of snow.

But after parking at the gate and walking further on the road, the snow was gone. I took a left on the White Cairn Trail, hiked along the flats and then climbed the steep trail to the ledges on Blueberry Mountain.

The view of the Cold River valley, with Baldface Mountain in the distance, was, as always, well worth the effort. The stillness of early spring was prevalent as I continued along the ledgey ridge. I made a point of taking a right on the half mile loop trail out to the southern lookout, which overlooks the stone house property and Shell Pond.

If I get anything across to those who want to do the four mile loop hike over Blueberry Mountain, make sure to look for the cairns for this loop on your right as you trudge across the sparsely wooded summit ridge. The southern view from a flat topped ledge is great.

I completed the loop back to the main trail, and reached the junction with the Stone House Trail, which

descended the east side of the mountain. I was looking forward to taking a side trail into Rattlesnake Pool, to see how it looked this that time of year.

It was the same as any other season — beautiful and inviting. Rattlesnake Pool is one of the coldest pools in the mountains, even in mid-summer. On Earth Day, it looked glacial.

I headed out to the dirt road, and looked up at South Baldface as I walked out the road to my car.

I remembered once wheeling my mother down the road in her wheel chair. Just before I reached the gate, a half dozen people started hiking in.

They were climbers, heading for the big cliff above Shell Pond. They said that the southern exposure of the cliff would have dried spring runoff on the rock face. I wished them luck.

On the drive home, a radio announcer said it was both Good Friday and Earth Day. That afternoon, I did a kayak along a beautiful river in a different region. At first I was going to write about both the hike and the kayak, as a tribute to the beauty of the earth, as seen on mountains and rivers. But I saw too much wildlife on the river. I couldn’t write about it. So, my small Earth Day contribution was to leave the wildlife alone, especially at a time of year they are reproducing their own kind.

A couple weeks later, I chatted with Maureen Reilly at the Stow Corner Store. Although she enjoyed her previous life in Eastham, Mass, where she worked at the well known Village Green General Store, she had connections up here and loved it. In 2008, she bought the Stow Corner Store, and opened last July 2. Despite the winter closing of Route 113 through Evans Notch, she stayed open, and now looks forward with satisfaction to going into her second year.

Through word of mouth, news of the good food there is spreading as more and more come to experience it. As well as the offerings of a general store,

When I arrived there were only Janet and I have been fishing three other boats on the pond most evenings during the week and two of them were heading and have had some fairly good in. The two canoes belonged to fishing, but nothing like this past a couple of fellows from Maine Tuesday. Saturday evening we and we engaged in conversation took our friend Dave Loren fishwhile I was rigging my boat and ing with us.

reeled in and cut off the leech. The afternoon before there had been a discussion in the shop about the effectiveness of the Cardinelle fly.

The Cardinelle is a rather outlandish fly in that it had a fluorescent orange body and a gaudy cerise marabou wing. The fly’s origin is in Massachusetts and was first tied by a fellow by the name of Bill Chiba. The fly was popularized by Paul Kukkonen, who owned a fly shop in Worcester, Mass. Kukkonen was famous for making films of his various fishing trips which he showed at numerous fish and game clubs throughout New England. He was a big proponent of the Cardinelle and the fly showed up in many of his movies. The fly was reported to have caught a 5 pound 9 ounce Brook trout in Maine.

As a result of the conversation I tucked a couple of Cardinelles in my streamer wallet. When I opened the wallet to select a new fly I tied on the Cardinelle. The result were not immediate and I must admit I had little faith in the fly, but shortly after tying on the new fly I had a resounding strike. Unfortunately I must have been asleep and missed the strike.

However, a few casts I hooked another and after that another.

The fly was indeed effective.

I rowed ashore and got out of the boat to stretch my legs. A couple of friends had shown up to fish from shore and I was soon engaged in conversation with them. I must have killed an hour or so before getting back in the boat. Before heading back to the landing, where the truck was parked, I tied the leech pattern back on and tried a few more casts. The trout were just as hot for the leech as they had been before and I landed and released a couple of more fish before heading in.

The sun was now starting to go down and it was starting to get a little cooler. I had the pond to myself. The sound of the oars and the wake that the Pequod made as it cut through the water across the only things that disturbed the solitude. I stopped for a moment and took it all in for a few moments before heading in.

See you on the river.

Mount Washington Country Ecology: Remembering Bill Servais Auto Road opens for 150th season DAVID EASTMAN

On January 26, I got notice from Mike Servais that his father Bill had just died of a massive heart attack in Mexico. Obviously where his double-ender sailboat was located. While I never saw that particular craft, I knew Bill had bought it, storing it “on the ways” overwinter, after previously sailing across the South Pacific in a Maine “pinky schooner;” constructed out of aluminum. Though that had previously been to Japan and back twice, it did not survive his lifetime dream of sailing to the South Seas and suffering all that goes with such a quest.

It impressed me what he had

undergone, though I had never had such a dream of going forth.

The old schooner rotted deathly in Micronesia.

Bill had hull #9 and I had hull #10 of the famed San Juan 24 sailboats manufactured out of the Clark family sailboat factory.

They had hired a considerable marine architect of renown, Bruce Kirby, to design our fast little sloop, and it became a poor man’s racing yacht. They still exist, but it takes some renovation for this sailboat we once owned. (I shudder to think of what could have happened if I had held on to this ownership; its demise has everything to do with petroleum and

fiber-glas manufacturing in the seventies. Yi!) So we got a cheap $10,000 boat that could handle anything, and beat anybody--and boy, did Bill Servais handle that particular quarter-tonner well-and teach me whatever it could undergo. He was without fear on the tiller. And I happened to be on board whenever he taught me what this sailboat was capable of.

He was a dentist, who stated he would rather have been a mathematician, but used this SJ 24 to provide whatever he needed in risk-tasking, despite my decidedly stating I had already been through all of that in Vietnam see next page

PINKHAM NOTCH — The Mount Washington Auto Road will open for its 150th anniversary season on Saturday, May 7, at 9 a.m. The Mount Washington Auto Road will be open to the 4.5-mile point, just above treeline, for guests to drive themselves up the northern flank of the Northeast’s highest peak.

Despite the heavy snow that fell during the winter, the road crew worked steadily throughout April to clear ice and snow in order to get the lower section of the road open. In most seasons, the Mount Washington Auto Road does not open to this point until mid-May. From the 4.5-mile point, guests will have stellar views of the Northern Presidential Mountains and will experience Mount Washington’s weather. The road crew is still hard at work on the upper portions of the road — removing ice and snow, clearing culverts and maintaining the gravel sections.

The Mount Washington Auto Road will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., weather permitting.

Early season rates are in effect: $25 for a safe carload and $8 for motorcycle and passenger. Guided Tours will not be available at this time.

This year, the Mount Washington Auto Road is celebrating its 150th anniversary. First opened in 1861, the Mount Washington Auto Road is America’s Oldest Manmade Attraction and when the road opened, as the Mount Washington Carriage Road, Abraham Lincoln was President and the Union was made up of 34 states. The Mount Washington Auto Road will be commemorating its sesquicentennial with special events throughout the year. Visit www.

MtWashingtonAutoRoad.com for a complete events schedule.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis uplifting to the people around them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There is no such thing as “easy money.”

You’ll do yourself a favor by avoiding all promises that have to do with making a fast buck. Talk to the savvy people you know about how to maximize your financial efforts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

The focus is on a relationship that is still in the early stages. Whether the relationship is oriented toward business or pleasure, you’ll look at a person’s heart before you determine whether to go forward.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). No one knows what to do with pity. It’s not something you can wear or eat. Make sure that when you give your help, you are giving something more concrete.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Much of what you like or don’t like is personal, familial or cultural. You will open your heart to those who are very different in their preferences and add some color to your world.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your strong voice and confident, fluid way of moving will tell a story about how well you know yourself. Your self-assurance will make others certain about you, too.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 7). The bonds of friendship and love will be strengthened. This year brings enjoyable times with those who share your humor and taste. You’ll make deals through an educational or familial network. You’ll attain a personal goal in July. A professional environment is featured in August. November brings financial luck. Gemini and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 25, 19, 40 and 11.

Cul de Sac

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have already learned what you need to do. Now the question is whether you are at liberty to do so. Do you have the resources? This is your day to take stock.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A cranky person may be funny for a while, especially if you don’t know this person very well. But after continued exposure, the attitude gets old fast. That’s why you’re sure to do the things you know will keep your spirits high.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You listen carefully to your loved ones. Your attention is a precious commodity, and hopefully they will value it as such. It’s hard to recognize the value yourself until you’re in a situation where no one is listening.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your recent experience has you feeling a little wiser and older, but in no way does this mean that you are old. Your state of mind gets more youthful with every new thing you learn.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may have felt unmotivated for the past few days, but that changes now, as you understand what it is you must do. Your focus on an end result will help you at the start and middle of the project.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Chinese mystic philosopher Lao Tzu said, “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage.” You’ll feel both sides of the statement today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Seek the truth. Some will try to eliminate the competition through negative press -a sure sign that they themselves are insecure about what they have to offer.

Stick with those who are positive and

Yesterday’s Answer

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, May 7, 2011— Page 33

Today is Saturday, May 7, the 127th day of 2011. There are 238 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 7, 1945, Germany signed an unconditional surrender at Allied headquarters in Rheims (rams), France, ending its role in World War II. On this date: In 1711 (New Style calendar), Scottish philosopher David Hume was born in Edinburgh.

In 1789, the first inaugural ball was held in New York in honor of President George Washington and his wife, Martha.

In 1861, Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore was born in Calcutta.

In 1915, nearly 1,200 people died when a German torpedo sank the British liner RMS Lusitania off the Irish coast.

In 1941, Glenn Miller and His Orchestra recorded “Chattanooga Choo Choo” for RCA Victor.

In 1954, the 55-day Battle of Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam ended with Vietnamese insurgents overrunning French forces.

In 1963, the United States launched the Telstar 2 communications satellite.

In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford formally declared an end to the “Vietnam era.” In Ho Chi Minh City — formerly Saigon — the Viet Cong celebrated its takeover.

In 1977, Seattle Slew won the Kentucky Derby, the first of his Triple Crown victories.

(On this date in 2002, Seattle Slew died.)

In 1984, a $180 million out-of-court settlement was announced in the Agent Orange class-action suit brought by Vietnam veterans who charged they’d suffered injury from exposure to the defoliant.

One year ago: A BP-chartered vessel lowered a 100-ton concrete-and-steel vault onto the ruptured Deepwater Horizon well in an unprecedented, and ultimately unsuccessful, attempt to stop most of the gushing crude fouling the sea. Before a record hockey crowd of 77,803, the United States lost to host Germany 2-1 in the opening game of the world ice hockey championships. Dave Fisher, lead singer of the 1960s folk group the Highwaymen, died in Rye, N.Y., at age 69.

Today’s Birthdays: Former Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., is 79. Singer Jimmy Ruffin is 72. Actress Robin Strasser is 66.

Singer-songwriter Bill Danoff is 65. Rhythmand-blues singer Thelma Houston is 65.

Rock musician Bill Kreutzmann (Grateful Dead) is 65. Rock musician Prairie Prince is 61. Actor Robert Hegyes is 60. Movie writer-director Amy Heckerling is 59. Actor Michael E. Knight is 52. Rock musician Phil Campbell (Motorhead) is 50. Country musician Rick Schell is 48. Rock singer-musician Chris O’Connor is 46. Actress Traci Lords is 43. Singer Eagle-Eye Cherry is 40. Actor Breckin Meyer is 37. Rock musician Matt Helders (Arctic Monkeys) is 25.

by Abigail Van Buren

YOUNG WIDOW FINDS COMFORT AND GUILT IN NEW ROMANCE

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I were together 11 years -- since we were 12 -- and married for four. He was killed in a car accident, and I am now a 23-year-old widow. I was in the passenger seat when he died. I sustained multiple injuries, but none as great as the massive anxiety I can’t seem to shake.

I have had a great deal of support from friends and family.

However, two months after my husband died I began talking to “Brian,” a family friend who is going through a divorce.

We’d stay up for hours talking about the things we were going through. I have developed love for Brian that is beyond anything I have felt before, built on a great deal of strength and heartache.

We moved fast because of our mutual need to have someone there for us. I feel guilty, however, that I have this relationship so soon after my husband’s death. On top of all this, I have huge anxiety, the result of guilt, PTSD and my fear of abandonment.

I feel isolated because I’m so much younger than most widows I meet. Also, because I have the complicating factor of Brian’s divorce (with two kids) going on now, I’m afraid my anxiety will never decrease. I can’t reject the love I have for him. We’ve been there for each other through a time of great hardship. I want to be able to relax and enjoy it, not stress out and destroy it. Can you give me any advice? -- YOUNG WIDOW IN PAIN DEAR YOUNG WIDOW: Allow me to offer my deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband. After what you have

been through, it’s understandable that you would experience the feelings you have been having. But if you are going to move on in the right direction, I urge you to discuss your current situation with a mental health professional -- preferably one who specializes in post-traumatic stress and anxiety.

While it’s wonderful that you have met someone so soon, I urge you to make no permanent decisions for at least a year.

You and Brian can support each other, but each of you is needy right now, and that’s not a basis for a healthy relationship. With time, the anxieties will ease and what’s causing them will lessen. If you’ll forgive the baseball vernacular, my advice is to bunt rather than try to swing for a home run now.

It will improve your odds of not striking out.

DEAR ABBY: My wife likes to sunbathe in the nude in our side yard. Anyone walking by on the sidewalk, or riding by on a bike or in a car can easily see her over our 3-foot-tall picket fence.

She is a beautiful woman and has nothing to be ashamed of, but knowing strangers can see her in the buff makes me uncomfortable. She says I should get over it. Should I? -- EMBARRASSED ON ELM STREET DEAR EMBARRASSED: Your wife assumes that your neighbors and passersby are as open-minded as she is. Please remind her that if a mother should walk by with a child, she could be deeply offended, call the police and your sunworshipping wife could be charged with indecent exposure.

A tall hedge in the front of your side yard would screen her from public view. Please consider it.

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

Sheriff’s Department begins patrols in Albany The selectmen gave out another building permit this week. Great. Let’s keep this up.

Lt. Michael Santucci, of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department, was in to discuss the beginning of patrols in Albany. It was agreed that four hour blocks of time would work well and that would be in the town’s neighborhoods. Don’t be surprised if a deputy greets you. Lt. Santuccio feels this interaction would make for a better relationship between the police and the resident. Patrols will start with weekends and when school is out for the summer, increase to include mid-week dates.

The University of New Hampshire has reported to the selectmen that they are in the midst of selling their property in Albany to the Forest Service.

Colleen Cormack has found someone to run Albany’s Valley Pride Day this Saturday from 8-10:30 a.m. Assignments will be made and trash bags handed out at the town hall parking lot.

The White Mountain National Forest is planning a controlled burn this month. The forest service is watching the weather and ground conditions for the right time to burn safely. They will be getting assistance from local fire fighters for the sites chosen.

The sites will be in many towns from Gilead, Maine to Albany and Milan in New Hampshire.

Tin Mountain: Today from 9 a.m. to noon learn about investing in renewable energy. Learn about TMREI solar hot water “energy-raisers.” The cost is $10 for members/$15 for non-members. On Thursday from noon to 1 p.m., Will Abbott, of the Society for the Protection of NH Forests, will provide an overview of the Northern Pass Project. This controversial project proposes transmitting hydropower from Quebec to New Hampshire and would require the clearing of more than 40 miles of a new powerline corridor in Coos County. At 7 p.m. that evening Naturalist Dave Govatski will present the first fulllength, high-definition documentary film ever made about the legendary environmentalist Aldo Leopold. White Birch Books will be on hand to sell copies of Leopold’s, “A Sand County Almanac.”

Waldorf School: Remember that May 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the North Conway Community Center is the school’s Fifth Annual May Faire Celebration. This is a fun event for the whole family see ALBANY page 46

Effingham Town Column

Henry Spencer 539-4964

Selectmen discuss response time for ambulance service Your reporter was present for the beginning of a lively discussion at this week’s selectmen’s meeting.

One of the constant attendees at these meeting broached the topic of informing the people of Effingham just what a reasonable response time is when someone is in need of ambulance transport. The premise of the opening remark being that there are certain realities about rural living: one of those realities being sheer distance and the time it takes to cover it. It may not be true that in this part of New Hampshire Effingham holds the record for being about the farthest away from everything, but if we don’t own the blue ribbon in that regard we certainly are neck and neck with the winner.

One good indicator that Effingham is the center of the back and beyond is its distinction of never even having

had a railroad run through it: a fact that, in the days of railroads, really almost lent truth to the old joke that you “can’t get there from here,” although it might better be said in reference to Effingham that you, “can get here from there, but it’s going to take some time.” However, there is nothing funny about waiting for medical transport; every second of every minute is felt: all of it is rife with worry and fear and once the emergency is over it is reasonable to expect that those concerned might ask themselves what the heck took so long? As the opener of this discussion tried to express his concerns were not based upon historical, current or future ambulance service in town, he was just wondering if there might be some way to inform see EFFINGHAM page 45

When I first met my husband, he was heavily involved in local amateur theatre; in fact that’s where I met him. He ran lights, built sets, hung curtains, painted scenery, and directed. Before I knew it I was drawn into this sometimes insane yet often memorable world of theatre. I preferred the more mundane, behind the scenes work but every once in a while I would be put into a more high pressure position.

Once I was part of a crew that had to dress in black, walk out on a totally dark stage with no curtains and move these huge platforms between scenes — without knocking over other members of the crew. The ‘corker’ however was the time I worked on three perfor-

mances of “A Christmas Carol.” My job consisted of spending the whole show on the floor under some staging where I could push Scrooge’s bed on and off stage - on cue! Ah, show business.

I was reminded of past theatre experiences because on Monday, May 16, we will be privileged to have seven members of the Center Stage Players of Brunswick, Maine here at the Gibson Center. The group is comprised of 17 men and women in their 60s through their mid 90s who share a love for theatre. They will perform five short original plays here that day at 12:30 p.m. in our activity room. see GIBSON page 47

Theresa was a kind soul and a social butterfly. She loved vacationing with her family and spending time with her neighbors and friends. She worked as a dietary aide at Riverside Rest Home, until she retired. Theresa loved mowing her lawn and field on her John Deere tractor, and she loved shopping at Goodwill. She even found time to knit, crochet and make crafts.

Andrews and his wife, Cynthia L., of Freedom, and Michael Andrews and his wife, Tena, of Rochester; a brother, Roland Demers, and a sister, Blanche Boston, both, of South Berwick, Maine; and six grandchildren and one great grandchild.

Theresa was predeceased by her husband, James R. Andrews Sr.; her brother, Albert Demers; and her sister, Cecile Lavertue.

Elaine Helen Johnson

Elaine Helen Johnson, 70, of Bridgton Road, in Fryeburg, Maine, died Tuesday, May 3, 2011 at her residence.

She was born in Randolph, Vt. a daughter of John and Helen (Hale) LaFrance. She lived in the Mount Washington Valley since 1950 and graduated from Kennett High School in 1958.

Elaine worked as a telephone operator at New England Telephone and in later years at the Yield House in North Conway. She loved music from the 1950s and always had a kitty around, loving to see her mesmerized by the many birds she fed all winter.

Elaine enjoyed canning and always had a large garden.

She was predeceased by her mother and father; her husband of 47 years, Aaron Johnson Sr.; a brother, Lawrence L. LaFrance; a sister, Olivia Loraine LaFrance; her children,

Your reporter asked and was told that there will be an opportunity this Saturday the 7th at 10 a.m. to meet informally with the selectmen to discuss whatever is on your mind.

Coffee and donuts will be provided.

So, if you are generally unable to attend the official Tuesday night selectmen’s meeting this is your chance to be heard. No ending time was given. The meeting will be held at the municipal offices.

Mr. Eric Potter informed your reporter that the historical society will be recording the oral histories of residents of Effingham who got their schooling in town prior to 1950. No mention was made about just how prior that might be but, putting it nicely, there are some pretty deep memories in Effingham and there has always been some schooling

She is survived by her brother, Truman H.

A celebration of Elaine's life will be held at 10 a.m., Saturday, May 14, at Todd and Marla's house 84 Maple Street in Fryeburg.

In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to Fryeburg Rescue, P.O. Box 177, Fryeburg, ME, 04037. Arrangements are made with Wood Funeral Home, Fryeburg, Me. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.woodfuneralhome.org. going on. The meeting and recording will take place at our library May 14 from 1 to 3 p.m. These historical society events generally have a cookie or two lying around.

HOME OF THE WEEK

REAL ESTATE CORNER

Make the first impression count When thinking about selling a home, establishing a reasonable and, ultimately, profitable listing price is perhaps the biggest challenge that every homeowner faces. Go too high and risk getting priced out of the market. Setting it too low is an even bigger gamble.

Our market here in northern New Hampshire is really no different. The argument could even be made that setting the correct price right from the beginning is even more critical since we are often dealing with “vacation-home” buyers who are only in town for a short time. It is true that you do not get a second chance to make a first impression!

There are countless things that go into the decision to buy a home. If you have found yourself in that position before, you know what I mean. Considering all that is going on in the buyer’s mind, it is paramount, as a seller, that you have taken the correct steps to make that first impression count.

Choose the right sales associate. While many sellers use a friend or relative's referral when selecting a sales associate, it is smart to interview a variety of prospective agents and invite them to show their listing presentations.

Pay attention to how they plan to market your home, and find out how many homes they (and their company) listed in your local market in the past year and how many of them were sold. Also, make certain they plan to list the home on the multiple listing service (MLS). I also like to highlight my company’s Internet presence. With over 90 percent of people starting their home search online, it is almost a given these days that a solid web presence is vital to marketing your home.

Finally, because selling a home will require a lot of communication, the seller should ensure he or she connects with the sales associate’s personality.

Do your homework. Home sellers should work with a real estate sales associate to develop a written comparative market analysis (CMA).

This will provide a list of recent sales prices of similar homes in the area (with comparable numbers of bedrooms, baths, square footage and lot size), the asking prices of homes currently for sale in the neighborhood and other important information. Based on the CMA, a sales associate will provide his or her professional estimation of a legitimate selling price. It should be noted that these CMAs can be misleading by themselves. It is vital to include your agent’s interpretation of the market to ensure a complete understanding of where your house fits into the picture. This also speaks to the importance of dealing with a local agent.

Take the emotion out of it. While the seller likely has spent years in the home and takes pride in it, the sales associate will not set the price based on a seller’s emotion. Instead, the location, condition and size of the home will significantly impact the list price. A house in a secluded, exclusive area may be appealing to some buyers, while others will want to be closer to schools, shopping and health-care facilities. What is the physical condition of the home? Is it a fixer-upper? Does it make a good first impression (the ever imporsee SELLING page 49

tant “curb appeal”)? Will it appeal to a growing family, or is it better suited to empty-nesters? The sales associate will know the type of buyers who will be interested in the home and will market it accordingly. We’re getting a little ahead of ourselves here, but I have to say that this is also why the sellers should NOT be present during the showing of the home. It is difficult for a buyer to truly get a feel for the house or to provide frank, honest feedback if the seller is present.

Determine if it is a buyer’s or seller’s market. Home inventory, mortgage interest rates and the economy play a role in determining whether the buyer or seller has a negotiating advantage. Interest rates remain at historically low levels even as the economy shows signs of improving, allowing buyers to be in a good position to shoulder the “good” debt of homeownership. A sales associate will know the inventory levels in the community. Since real estate is such a hot topic these days, it is safe to assume that most people feel that they have a pretty good handle on the state of the market. This is why it is vitally important for your agent to provide you with current local market data to help you make informed decisions when you get to the negotiation table.

Do the math. Do not forget to figure in closing costs, legal fees and other selling expenses when deter-

Interest rates remain at historically low levels even as the economy shows signs of improving, allowing buyers to be in a good position to shoulder the “good” debt of homeownership. mining the selling price. The sales associate should be able to provide cost estimates, and negotiate with a potential buyer to ensure a good sale price. These fees can be a surprise to both the buyer and the seller. If you have done your homework and figured these items out ahead of time, you will be much more confident in your stance while contemplating the buyer’s offer.

Give it the “once over.” After working with a real estate sales associate to get a CMA and considering all the other factors, the list price will be set. But there is one more step in trying to ensure that the house sells for that price, or more. Do as much as possible to improve the home’s appearance: touch up the paint, fix leaks, seal any cracks, clean the home, eliminate clutter and rid the home of any pet odors. The house has only one chance to make a first impression.

Strong job report shows economy gaining steam

BY CHRISTINE HAUSER NEW YORK TIMES

The United States economy added far more jobs than expected in April as the recovery continued to pick up steam.

The Department of Labor said Friday that 244,000 jobs were added last month after a gain of a revised 221,000 in March. The unemployment rate rose to 9 percent in April from 8.8 percent in March.

As has been the case for several months, all of the increase came from private employers, which added another 268,000 jobs last month on top of the revised 231,000 in March, the monthly report said.

Results of the previous two months were revised to show an additional 46,000 jobs were added.

Governments, struggling to balance budgets as they deal with shrinking revenues and growing deficits, cut 24,000 jobs last month. Most of the drop came at the local level, where 14,000 jobs were lost in April after a decline of 15,000 in March.

April’s numbers exceeded the forecasts of analysts, who had expected a gain of 185,000 jobs over all, with the change in private payrolls of 200,000.

The uptick in the unemployment rate that came even as employers were adding jobs was an indication that more people were entering the work force as hopes for hiring increased.

The monthly jobs report is a crucial snapshot of the economy as it tries to move from recovery to expansion, and the April figures covered a period when several indicators pointed to signs of weakness.

The American economy grew at a tepid 1.8 percent in the first quarter, according to the government’s estimate for the first quarter. Personal consumption has slowed and construction remains weak, though winter weather was cited as a reason.

Turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa has sent crude oil prices higher, pushing up the cost of gasoline, which in turn has taken a larger share of the money consumers have to spend. Supply disruptions in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan have rippled through American industries, especially the automobile sector where plants have reduced production and idled workers.

Those auto plant shutdowns were one factor cited when the government reported Thursday that the weekly initial jobless claims rose to 474,000 last

week, up from 431,000 the week before.

While better than expected, Friday’s numbers still offered a few cautionary signs that the national economy had a long way to go. Though down from its peak of 10.1 percent in late 2009, April’s unemployment rate reflects only those Americans who are still actively looking for work.

And while any job creation is a positive, last month’s growth was barely enough to absorb people entering the work force in the United States, much less to quickly shrink the unemployment rolls.

“Without acceleration in job growth, the economy is unlikely to achieve the sustainable growth trajectory that is typical of an economy that is supposedly in its second year of recovery and technically has transitioned into expansion,” said Steven Ricchiuto, the chief economist for Mizuho Securities USA. About 13.7 million people were out of work in

JOB REPORT from page 51

April, among them 5.8 million people who have been jobless for six months or longer. In March, the number of people who were unemployed was 13.5 million, with 6.1 million of them considered the long-term unemployed. In April, about 64.2 percent of adults were either in the work force or looking for a job, the fourth consecutive month it has been at that level, which is the lowest labor participation rate in a quarter-century.

The Labor Department’s report on Friday showed that most of the increases in nonfarm jobs came in retail trade, while jobs in services , health care, and leisure and hospitality also grew. An additional 29,000 manufacturing jobs were added in April, compared with 17,000 in March. Analysts had forecast a rise of 20,000 manufacturing jobs in April.

The average workweek was 34.3 hours in April, the same as in March, while average hourly earnings rose by 3 cents to $22.95, compared with a revised $22.92 in March.

The outlook for the near-term job growth remains murky.

The housing downturn, high oil and commodity prices, government austerity measures and limited consumer spending will prevent gross domestic product growth from being more robust, and unemployment is likely to remain above 8 percent through 2012, according to Gad Levanon, associate director of macroeconomic research at the Conference Board.

Still, in previews of the national jobs report, some economists noted that some aspects of the economy had been promising — most corporate earnings have been strong, industrial production has risen, and retail sales increased 8.9 percent on average in April, one of the biggest increases in the last few years.

“Longer-term prospects are more promising, however,” Levanon said in a statement before Friday’s release. “In the last six months, employment outside of construction, finance and state and local government has already been growing faster than nearly any other six-month period in the last decade. Once constraints in these hard-hit sectors loosen, overall job recovery is likely to pick up pace.”

Is it time to consider a foreclosure for your next home purchase?

BY ERIK MARTIN CTW FEATURES

For buyers looking to snag the lowest possible price, a foreclosed home just might be the way to go.

According to data from RealtyTrac, buyers who purchased a foreclosed home in 2010 received a discount 28 percent lower than the average sales price for non-foreclosure properties. That's up from the 27-percent and 22-percent discounts seen in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Considering that foreclosed residences comprised approximately 26 percent of all home sales last year — down from 29 percent in 2009 — and that total sales volume of homes in some phase of foreclosure dropped 31 percent from 2009, it's hardly a surprise that banks are more motivated to sell quickly, say the experts.

"In many markets, home prices are at an historically affordable level right now, and foreclosed homes often represent the best bargains in a market," says Daren Blomquist, director of marketing communications for RealtyTrac, Irvine, Calif. "In addition, interest rates are low. If you finance the purchase you'll be paying much less in the long run in interest, and buyer demand is low, meaning you'll have less competition from other buyers and therefore may be able to negotiate terms that make the deal even better for you."

How much of a discount can buyers of foreclosed homes expect will vary depending on location. Distressed properties can sell for 10 percent to 20 percent below market value, says Jonathan Miller, a housing market analyst for RealEstate Business Intelligence in Washington, D.C. Typically, the discount you can reap depends on two factors: the condition of the house (the more

repairs needed, the greater the price reduction) and the duration on the market (the longer it's been listed, the greater negotiating power buyers have).

Finessing foreclosures To ensure the lowest discount possible, do some homework. Work with an agent and investigate the property thoroughly, including property taxes.

Talk with neighbors about the history and reputation of the house and talk with municipal inspectors and previous listing agents to learn if there are any undisclosed issues that could give you more leverage. Armando Montelongo, former host of "Flip This House" on A&E, recommends taking photos of everything you spot wrong with the home. Bring the images to the attention of the bank, which may not be aware of the condition of the property.

Even with data and photographic evidence, it's important to be realistic about negotiating a low price. Be prepared for competitive bidders and brace yourself for rejection, especially if you're too aggressive in your initial offer.

"Most banks price their foreclosure inventory lower than the true market for an immediate sale," says Lisa Johnson Sevajian of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Andover, Mass. "Many times buyers go into negotiations with banks expecting to receive a huge discount because they believe they will be the only one interested [but] there are usually many people bidding on most bank-owned homes.

"If the average reduction in your market within the price point is 5 percent and your agent is confident you have no competition bidding, a safe place to start is with the list price minus 5 percent," John see next page

ASK A BROKER

Who floats FHA losses?

BY PETER G. MILLER CTW FEATURES

Question: When a home financed with an FHA loan is foreclosed who covers the loss? Is it the taxpayers?

Answer: The Federal Housing Administration insures low down payment loans for firsttime buyers and lower income buyers with weak credit. Unlike Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which received taxpayer bailouts to the tune of $150 billion, FHA has received no such help.

The basic FHA program, 203(b), provides insurance for residential borrowers purchasing homes with one to four units. To qualify you must live in at least one unit and meet various income and credit requirements. If you qualify for FHA financing you can then buy with as little as 3.5 percent down.

That's not a lot down.

However, lenders allow borrowers to get FHA financing with little up front because such loans are insured.

Under the FHA program you'll pay an up-front mortgage insurance premium equal to 1 percent of

from preceding page

Sevajian says. "Going below the average adjustment in the price point and the market can prevent you from being viewed as serious."

If you're planning on living in the foreclosed property, be sure it's located in an area you're comfortable residing in, and research property values in that location carefully. Compared to a non-foreclosure property, the transaction can take longer and involve more paperwork. Expect to put a lot of extra effort and resources into repairing the home, although you can save big if you perform the repairs yourself. Be prepared for hidden problems — from mold in the walls to a leaky roof — that may arise later. © CTW Features

the loan amount for 30-year financing. Most borrowers also will pay a monthly MIP equal to 1.15 percent of the remaining loan balance divided by 12.

So, what about FHA losses?

Imagine you had a house that was insured against fire and theft. If the house burns down the insurance company will pay all covered claims. Where does the insurance company get money? From reserves.

Where did the reserves come from? From premium payments and the interest they earn over time.

In a similar sense the FHA has reserves that are collected from borrower insurance premiums and the interest earned from those premiums. The FHA's Mutual Mortgage Insurance fund — a reserve account — actually grew by $2.65

billion in fiscal 2010.

The fund is expected to increase by $9.76 billion in fiscal 2011 and $5.01 billion in fiscal 2012.

Notice that all claims are being paid from reserve funds. Reserve funds come from borrower insurance premiums and the reserves are increasing. No claims are being paid by taxpayers.

In the past few years the FHA has prevented

larger losses by tightening standards for lenders, raising the annual MIP and prohibiting seller-funded down payments. The result is an enormously successful program, one that in 2010 provided more than 40 percent of all mortgage financing, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Lamplighter Mobile Home Park Affordable Living in a Community Setting New & Used Homes

Americans looking for ‘walkability’ What makes a great neighborhood in America?

Mixed use and walkability, for starters.

According to the recent "Community Preference Survey" from the National Association of Realtors, 56 percent of respondents said they prefer smart-growth neighborhoods to ones that require more driving between home, work and recreation. Of these respondents, 60 percent indicated the convenience of being within walking distance to shops and restaurants.

Walk It Out Walkable communities are defined as those where shops, restaurants and local businesses are within walking distance from homes.

Seventy-seven percent of survey respondents said they would look for neighborhoods with abundant sidewalks and other pedestrian-friendly features.

Half of respondents also noted that they'd like to see improvements to existing public-transit infrastructure rather than initiatives to build new roads and developments.

While space is important, many homebuyers say they're willing to sacrifice square footage for less driving. Eighty percent of survey respondents noted that they'd prefer to live in a single-family detached home as long as it didn't require a longer commute, but 59 percent said they'd choose a small home if it came with a commute time of 20 minutes or less.

The survey of 2,071 adults found that nearly six in 10 would prefer to live in a neighborhood with a mix of houses and stores and other businesses within an easy walk. Four in 10 prefer a housing-only community where residences need to drive to get to businesses. © CTW Features
