MIAMI (NY Times) — The hacker group Anonymous has declared a cyberwar against the City of Orlando, disabling Web sites for the city’s leading redevelopment organization, the local Fraternal Order of Police and the mayor’s reelection campaign.

Anonymous, a group of hackers that claimed responsibility for crashing the Web sites of MasterCard and the Church of Scientology, began attacking the Orlando-based Web sites earlier this week.

The group described its attacks as punishment for the city’s recent practice of arresting members of Orlando Food Not Bombs, an antipoverty group that provides vegan and vegetarian meals twice a week to homeless people in one of the city’s largest parks.

“Anonymous believes that people have the right to organize, that people have the right to give to the less fortunate and that people have the right to commit acts of kindness and compassion,” the group said in a news release and video posted on YouTube on Thursday. “However, it appears the police and your lawmakers of Orlando do not.”

A 2006 city ordinance requires organizations to obtain permits to feed groups of 25 people or more in downtown parks. The law was passed after numerous complaints by residents and businesses owners about the twice-weekly feedings in Lake Eola Park, city officials said.

Tens of thousands of Syrians Budget fight protest in central city of Hama shuts down

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

BEIRUT (NY Times) — Tens of thousands of protesters poured into the streets Friday of Hama, a Syrian city abandoned by the military and security forces, gathering in the country’s biggest demonstration in nearly four months of unrest and staking a festive claim to a region that bore the brunt of a ferocious government crackdown a generation ago.

The scenes of residents rallying in a central square there, captured by activists on video

and circulated on the Internet, seemed to signal a new stage in an uprising that has so far only aspired to rival the mass protests in Egypt and Tunisia, where authoritarian leaders were eventually forced to step down.

Protesters exploited at least a temporary vacuum in the official security presence in Hama to stage a panorama of dissent as celebratory as it was angry.

The military and security forces withdrew last month from Hama for reasons that

remain unclear. But the move seemed to mark a compelling, if ambiguous, turn in an uprising that until recently was marked by repeated clashes between protesters and armed troops.

After weeks of stalemate, a new dynamic has emerged. The opposition gathered in a rare meeting in Damascus on Monday, government officials are promising reform in coming weeks and protesters have shown a resilience that seems increasingly difficult for the government to suppress.

Strauss-Kahn is released as case teeters NEW YORK (NY Times) — Dominique Strauss-Kahn was released from house arrest on Friday as the sexual assault case against him moved one step closer to dismissal after prosecutors told a Manhattan judge that they had serious problems with the case.

Prosecutors acknowledged that there were significant credibility issues with the hotel housekeeper who accused Mr. Strauss-Kahn of trying to rape her in May. In a brief hearing at State Supreme Court in Manhattan, prosecutors did

SAYWHAT...

“

Should we fear hackers? Intention is at the heart of this discussion.”

—Kevin Mitnick

not oppose his release; the judge then freed Mr. Strauss-Kahn on his own recognizance.

The development represented a stunning reversal in a case that reshaped the French political landscape and sparked debate about morals, the treatment of women and the American justice system. Prosecutors said they still believed Mr. Strauss-Kahn had forced the woman into sex, but that inconsistencies in her past and account of the moments following the incident could make it hard for jurors to believe her.

Minnesota government

MINNEAPOLIS (NY Times) — Minnesota began what is expected to become the broadest shutdown of state services in its history on Friday, after Republicans and Democrats here failed to agree on how to solve the state’s budget woes in time for the new fiscal year.

Since early this year, politicians in St. Paul have been locked in a battle over how to solve an expected $5 billion budget deficit under a divided government.

As the holiday weekend opened, the state’s parks, historical sites and the Minnesota Zoo closed, new hunting and fishing licenses unavailable, and the state lottery and racetracks shuttered. Most rest areas along highways were closed. Tens of thousands of state employees were being sent home without pay, and contractors were told to walk away from hundreds of road construction projects already under way during Minnesota’s brief summer building season.

‘Live Free or Die’ state is the freest of them all

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONCORD — While we enjoy Independence Day festivities, we can also revel in New Hampshire winning the title of freest state in the union — at least according to George Mason University’s Mercatus Center. Mount Washington Valley residents had mixed feelings.

This is the second year in a row that the “Live Free or Die” state has earned that rank — which it shares this year with South Dakota. The study was written by affiliated scholar Jason Sorens and William Ruger of Texas State University. The two graded state policies according to their own definitions of personal and economic freedom.

New Hampshire is the only New England state in the top 25. Vermont is the second freest New England state at 30th place. New York is the most oppressive state and New Jersey comes in second most oppressive.

One reason why New Hampshire is so free is because of its conservative atmosphere, which means there’s little appetite for government spending, said Sorens.

“The rest of the explanation lies in New Hampshire’s unique institutions, such as a large citizen legislature, an executive council that can veto certain appropriations, and local control,” said Sorens.

New York is the most oppressive state and New Jersey comes in second most oppressive. Sorens described how it would feel to move from New Hampshire to New York. As examples, taxes are twice as high in New York. You could also be pulled over for not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle or not wearing a seat belt LIQUIDATION SALE LIQUIDATION SALE

in a car. Also, gun laws are much more strict in New York. A permissive New York Sheriff might allow someone to carry a gun after many hours of training, a background check and a large fee.

Freedom activist Ed Comeau, of Brookfield, agrees that New Hampshire is much freer than New Jersey.

Comeau came to New Hampshire from New Jersey with help from the Free State Project. Now, he video records Carroll County Commission meetings for his website Governmentoversite.com.

“I knew it was the freest state, that’s why I decided to move here,” said Comeau. “The report is accurate to a point. But we have a long way to go... You have to be careful making a report like that. People that read the report feel that the fight is over and we can ease back and not to continue to fight for having it be more free. The fact you have to come out with a poll of American states about freedom — that shouldn’t be a question.”

Comeau said in New Jersey it’s very difficult to make political change because the process is so closed off. An “elite class” controls the politics there.

But New Hampshire residents have easy access to a large citizen legislature. In New Jersey there is a short list of things that are allowed. It’s even illegal to pump your own gas in the Garden State, said Comeau.

“There is no comparison between New Jersey and New Hampshire when it comes to freedom,” said Comeau, adding that guns are much more accepted here. “Ever since I moved here I have not taken my firearm off.”

FREEST STATE from page 3

The Mercatus report was greeted with laugther at 2011’s PorcFest, which is a freedom festival put on by the New Hampshire Free State Project. Free State Project is aimed at getting liberty minded people to move to this state.

PorcFest was based in Lancaster.

Comeau said those in attendance don’t feel New Hampshire is free enough already. As examples, they point to recent arrests for wire tapping for filming police in public.

New Hampshire’s rank was based on scores on economic and personal freedoms. The state scored second place for economic freedom and 11th place for economic freedom.

“The state makes it difficult for families to home school and allows the government to take your property if it suspects it of being used in a crime, even if you haven’t done anything wrong, a process called ‘asset forfeiture,’” said Sorens. “Governor Lynch has also vetoed a law that would allow terminally ill people to use marijuana to alleviate their pain or improve their appetite. Those are areas where New Hampshire can do better.”

The Mercatus Center has three recommendations for New Hampshire.

Those include liberalizing marijuana laws, remove standardized testing requirements for homeschooling, and asset forfeiture reform. The report says low level marijuana possession could be decriminalized like it is in Maine.

Sorens says he doesn’t want to turn New Hampshire into an anarchist paradise where there is no rule of law.

“All of the policies we cover are areas where states already take different approaches, so none of the recommendations we make are outlandish or untested,” said Sorens. “For instance, New Jersey doesn’t regulate homeschooling at all, yet there is no evidence that parents there are deliberately keeping their children in ignorance.”

Unschooling expert Dayna Martin, of Madison, agrees regulations on homeschooling should be relaxed.

Unschooling is a range of educational philosophies and practices centered on allowing children to learn through their natural life experiences rather

than through a more traditional school curriculum.

“Many states in the country are much freer in regards to homeschooling,” said Martin. “New Hampshire is a highly regulated state, which does not sound in alignment with our state motto, ‘Live Free Or Die.’” Not everyone agrees the reforms are needed, if The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page is any measure.

“I have to laugh at their policy recommendations. Specifically the first two listed. They suggest this, ‘Enact the marijuana reforms cited above.

Remove standardized-testing requirements for homeschoolers.’ Sounds to me like they want us to get high and lower our standards for homeschooling our kids,” wrote Nora Smith Price on the Sun’s Facebook page. “I can see it now, mom sitting there stoned out of her mind and thinking that teaching the kids to weave baskets is going to get them somewhere in life.”

But Carroll County Republican chairman Maynard Thomson is pleased New Hampshire scored well — even though most rating studies are done for buzz. Thomson says he has respect for Mercatus Center and George Mason University, which he described as a bastion of libertarianism.

“I’m damned glad we rank high, and not down there with collectivist disasters like California,” said Thomson. “And a number of similar, international surveys show a negative correlation between government share of the economy and economic performance. Sadly, in those surveys the U.S. is no longer ranked as one of the “freest” countries — Canada, for example, has passed us. And is doing much better recovering from the current financial mess.”

Carroll County Sheriff Christopher Conley wasn’t keen on the Mercatus Center’s suggestions — especially the ones regarding drug use.

“There is no freedom without responsibility, and this is where the Mercatus Center wants everyone to take an academic pill of casual indifference,” said Conley, adding drugs are a scourge to every family in the county. Everyone knows someone struggling with addiction, he said. see FREEST STATE page 8

Fifth paid KHS football coach remains in the huddle for now Co-curricular committee to bring recommendation July 11

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — The decision to have five high school football coaches funded by taxpayers has been left in the huddle until the Conway School Board meets again on July 11.

The board voted unanimously to table the matter when it met Wednesday evening, although one board member did point out there are only four football coaching stipends required under the current negotiated contract with the teachers union.

School superintendent Carl Nelson is recommending the board hire John Paven, who has served as a volunteer for the program for the past two years, as the new assistant football coach, replacing longtime retiring coach Brian Day. The position comes with a $3,275 stipend.

The football team at the high school had eight coaches last year with five positions paid for with taxpayer dollars, a sixth spot covered financially by the football boosters, and two volunteer positions.

The coaching staff expanded to five taxpayer-funded spots in 2009. In 2008, the program had five coaches, one of which was funded by the boosters, and had three volunteers coaches.

On June 13, the board voted 5-2 to hire varsity head coach Mike Holderman for $3,900; assistant coach Vaughn Beckwith, $3,275; assistant coach Daniel Fallon, $3,275; freshman football coach Dwight Kimball, $1,850; and assistant freshman coach Ian Meserve, $1,850 (paid for by the boosters) along with volunteer coaches Paven and Dave Watson.

The football salaries, excluding the booster club funded post, total $15,625, covered by taxpayers.

Board member Dick Klement explained Wednesday that he could only find four required foot-

“Who approved that we needed a fifth paid football coach by the taxpayers?” ball positions based upon the current contract. It calls for the head coach, two assistants and a freshman coach.

“I’m not seeing any junior varsity coach. Am I missing it?” he asked.

Neal Moylan, principal of Kennett High, was on hand for the two-hour meeting. He explained the assistant coaches take on the role of JV coaches when the team plays its games on Mondays.

Board member Randy Davison believes the contract hasn’t been updated and pointed out there were a few positions that need to be added.

“Me personally,” he said, “I think it was an oversight. I see nothing for freshman field hockey, mountain biking or another football coach.”

“Because negotiations were held behind closed doors I’m unable to tell you why those positions were not added,” said Klement, who serves on the negotiating team within the Conway Education Association.

“If it isn’t in there, why was it added,” Syndi White, of the board asked. “Who approved that we needed a fifth paid football coach by the taxpayers?”

“I think it was an oversight,” Klement said. “Before we go and have an ‘Ah heck moment.’ I think we ought to wait for the co-curricular committee to make a recommendation to us.”

Davison and John Skelton, who serve on the co-curricular committee, were expected to discuss the position when the committee held its first meeting in many months Friday.

But on a lighter note, Conley says we live in a great country, state and county. He wishes everyone a happy Fourth of July.

In reporting on the study, the New American mentions state Rep. Norman Tregenza (R-Madison) as a particularly liberty-minded member of the legislature. When asked about the study, Tregenza said he hadn’t read it but does have several bills aimed at promoting liberty.

Those include reintroducing a nonbinding bill to urge the U.S. Congress to repeal NAFTA, withdraw from the United Nations, and return to sound money, which includes auditing the Federal Reserve or repealing the Fed-

eral Reserve Act of 1913. He also proposed legislation to reduce the rooms and meals tax by 1 percent a year for four years. He has also introduced legislation to repeal insurance regulation to increase competition.

Dave Hausman, of Big Dave’s Bagels and Deli, has lived in all three states. he said it would be unfair to paint any state with a broad brush.

For example, New York State is much different than New York City. New Jersey gets a bad rap because of some television shows. But there is some overlap in that people from all three states appreciate good food.

Hausman says he’s really enjoyed working in New Hampshire. It’s been his dream to have a business here.

“I wake up happy every day,” he said.

$1,000 donation has KHS music dept. singing one happy tune

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Thanks to an anonymous $1,000 donation the Kennett High Music Department is within $250 of reaching its goal of $3,500 to purchase raincoats for the school’s marching band. The Eagles hope to reach their goal Monday, the Fourth of July, when they’ll be selling popcorn in North Conway’s Schouler Park from 3:30 to 9:30 p.m.

The Conway School Board learned of and unanimously accepted the $1,000 donation at its Wednesday meeting.

“Thank you very much, whoever did this,” board chairman Janine McLauchlan said.

Therese Davison, music director at KHS, explained what the funds would

go for in a letter to the board dated June 22.

“The KHS Music program and the MWV Music Boosters have been fund-raising towards the purchase of raincoats for the marching band for the past two years,” she wrote. “We have received a generous $1,000 donation from an anonymous donor to put towards the project. As of today we are $250 short of the needed $3,500 to purchase 70 raincoats to match the 70 uniforms we own. We hope to achieve our goal in the next couple of weeks.”

Davison said the raincoats have a quilted lining, are black and white and have a hood with zippers to open and reveal the Kennett High name and KHS logo.

CONWAY — Where is your patriotism?

That’s the question the newest selectman, Mary Seavey, is asking. She’s hoping residents will join forces to figure out a way the town can better exhibit its patriotic spirit during the summer holidays.

“I’m looking for people in the town to do something,” she said.

She first brought it up at the last selectmen meeting.

“We don’t have one flag up in any of the villages,” she said during board comments. “It’s really sad.

There’s not one thing representing what we really stand for.”

She proposed putting together a committee to look into attaching flags to utility poles or secured into the sidewalks.

“We could have them in all our villages,” she said in a phone call this week, but first a feasibility study is needed. “It’s going to take the town to do it.”

“We don’t have one flag up in any of the villages.

“It’s really sad. There’s not one thing representing what we really stand for.”

And when she says the town, she doesn’t mean the municipality.

“People have not been asked to come forth,” she said. “I don’t think it’s necessarily anybody’s obligation. It’s all people’s concern.”

Seavey’s message the same as the one her boss, Janice Crawford, executive director of the Mount Washington Chamber of Commerce, raised in a letter to The Conway Daily Sun a month ago.

“Perhaps it is time to create a committee,” Crawford said in the letter, which appeared the day after Memorial Day, “to determine the desires of the town of Conway community members and town management to determine what is desired by the citizens, how it will get paid for and who will be responsible for the maintenance and liability.”

Until the last few years, Crawford said in a phone call, the chamber hung flags on the poles in North Conway village “from River Road to Artist Falls.”

But that was before the historically accurate lamps went up throughout the village. They were much more difficult to attach brackets to, she said,

The national colors fly at the Scenic Vista rest area in Intervale Wednesday.

(JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTO)

and hanging flags has become a problem.

“Since the chamber did it now it’s expected the chamber will do it always,” Crawford said, but in the last two years the chamber hasn’t.

“It’s really not the chamber’s responsibility,” she said. The flags were hard to maintain and cost more than $500 a year.

The chamber’s mission is to support local businesses, she said. “It’s not decorating streets.”

But Conway residents can and should step up, she declared in her letter: “We would need someone from code enforcement so we don’t break any signage laws, someone from the selectmen, the town manager, someone from the utility company, someone with the history of lighting, wreaths, etc., and as many of our citizens who care about this issue to figure out who and how it should be paid for.”

“I think it’s up to us,” Seavey said, echoing Crawford.

But residents have already fallen short of Crawford’s call to action: “Surely we can figure this out in time for Independence Day.”

Tele-Talk How many football coaches should taxpayers fund for Kennett High School?

Kennett High School will have eight football coaches on the sidelines this fall. Five of those will be paid for by taxpayers at a total cost of $15,625. During a discussion this past week on hiring a replacement for a retiring assistant coach, Conway School Board’s newest member, John Skelton, questioned the expense. “Do we really need five paid high school football coaches on the public’s nickel?” Skelton asked. The majority of other board members apparently thought so, because the board voted 5-2, with Skelton and Syndi White in the minority, to fill the coaching position. Skelton sees an inequity in the amount of money budgeted for Kennett’s various sports teams. But principal Neal Moylan said football is a high-contact sport that’s becoming more and more specialized. He also said that football games are big community events, and that the program “brings a lot of pride into Kennett and the Mount Washington Valley.”

Several people weighed in this week on the constitutionality of sobriety checkpoints.

“I don’t drink, but this sounds like entrapment.” — Trish Marie Hall “I think they should. People who drink and drive should get in trouble before someone gets killed. They should do it more than once a year.” — Roxanne Holt “How many lives could this save a year? I hate the whole police-state outlook and no probable cause, but on the other side this is all about safety. Being stopped sucks — but lose a friend or family member to a drunk driver that might have been stopped!” — Rob Greenwood “If you’re drinking and driving, you suffer the consequences. I say get them off the road before they kill someone. If you’re not drinking and driving, it’s just an inconvenience, but it helps keep you and your family safe.” — Amanda Lee Daley-Masters “If they want to do this, change the Constitution. It is clearly illegal despite what some judge says!” — Dave Dempsey “There are both pros and cons to this situation. It is definitely entrapment, but it also stops someone from hurting themselves or others.” — Erin Cushing “Let them pull me over. I won’t be drinking and driving or doing anything else wrong so I could care less.

Anyone who doesn’t want to be stopped probably has something to hide. I don’t think they should be able to search but at least talk to the driver and assess the ability

to drive.” — Samantha Muise “The ones who complain are probably the ones who are scared they’ll be the ones caught.” — Terri Moore Johnson “I’m for the checkpoints and think they need to be done more often.” — Todd James “’The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.’”

— Coryann La Liberte “Aren’t roads public places? And everyone has a right to be safe in public, right? So sobriety checkpoints should be OK. Asking a driver some questions is different than search and seizure. If your answers give them probable cause then they can search the car and give you a field sobriety test. I think there should be more checkpoints, but from reading today’s paper we don’t have enough cops for regular patrols, never mind checkpoints on amateur nights at the bars.” — Erik Corbett “I think they’re necessary. They are there to protect the public in public areas. They’re usually announced in the paper too, so if you’re still going to drink and drive after being warned, you deserve what you get! If you’re found to be drunk, and placed under arrest, then the police have every right to search your car in order to keep themselves safe.” — John White

Hold it, I am thinking. Haven't I witnessed several wars for the soul of the Republican Party?

Six in my lifetime alone, now that I'm counting.

There's no denying that there's a struggle within the Republican Party as it moves toward the first presidential primary here, tentatively (and, given the nature of this campaign, perhaps mischievously) scheduled for next Feb. 14. But the Republicans are holding no lovefest in New Hampshire. Already the party is divided every which way — between regulars and irregulars, economic conservatives and social conservatives, established politicians and newcomers, Westerners and Easterners, males and females.

The Republicans haven't been at each other's throats this much since ... the last election.

In our historical imagination, the Republicans are the sober, organized, unflappable ones — the quiet members of Rotary and Kiwanis who do their duty, tend to commerce, stiffen their upper lips at adversity, take everything in stride. They don't raise their voices or raise hackles. They're the party of social order and stability. That's the image. The reality is quite different.

Look back at the last century — go all the way back to the critical election of 1912, when giants strode the Earth and four of them, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt and Eugene V. Debs, ran for president — and you can count nine distinct battles for the soul of the Republican Party. The Democrats, the ones ridiculed as being the disorganized and emotional pugilists in American politics, have had only four such battles, fewer than half their rivals'.

This time the battle for the soul of the Republican Party pits three former governors, Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota and Jon Huntsman of Utah, against each other — and against a group of rebels that includes Reps. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, Ron Paul of Texas, former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and businessman Herman Cain. A measure of the chasm between them: Can you imagine Romney putting Bachmann on his ticket, or the other way around?

But the Republicans had a similar struggle in 2008, when Sen. John McCain of Arizona, only four years after being considered a vice presidential possibility on the Democratic ticket, had almost nothing in common with his Republican rivals, primarily Romney and former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas.

Four elections earlier, commentator Patrick J. Buchanan took on President George H.W. Bush here in New Hampshire, painting Bush as effete and feckless and indicting him for being an apostate from the true Reagan faith. At the 1992 Republican National Convention, Buchanan spoke openly of a "culture war."

It turns out that Ronald Reagan and Bush played central roles in two other GOP struggles, the one that spanned the 1976 and 1980 elections (main themes: the aggressiveness of modern conservatism and the validity of supply-side economics), and the one in 1988 (main themes: whether and how the Reagan revolution would be extended, and whether and how the demands of religious conservatives should be accommodated).

Major struggles over the nature of conservatism also occurred in 1940 (over Wendell Willkie's views on internationalism) and in 1952 (when the Taft and Eisenhower wings clashed).

Perhaps the most significant GOP struggle

occurred in 1964, when the Eastern Republican establishment personified by Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York was challenged, and defeated, by the new Western conservatism represented by Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona. Goldwater's landslide defeat at the hands of President Lyndon B. Johnson left the Republican Party in tatters — only to be revived four years later when former Vice President Richard M. Nixon beat Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey as the Democrats were undergoing one of their own internal struggles.

The Democrats' internecine battles have been far less frequent but just as explosive.

The 1968 split, which continued through the 1972 election, was over Vietnam and cultural matters. It led to violent disruptions outside the Chicago convention hall; made the party vulnerable to the Republican taunt that the Democrats had become the party of amnesty, acid and abortion; and opened the door for many blue-collar voters, ardently Democratic since the New Deal, to abandon their party.

That split followed the upheavals over race in 1948 (when Strom Thurmond and his allies bolted the party) and 1964 (when the national convention divided over which Mississippi delegation to seat) — episodes which for the purposes of this argument we'll consider two parts of the same split. These fights essentially involved how to deal with the differences between the Democrats of the North and the Democrats of the South.

The party also split in 1928 over legalized drink and the degree to which the Democrats, who nominated Gov. Al Smith of New York for president that year, should identify themselves with Catholics and the immigrant families from Ireland and Eastern Europe that increasingly were becoming part of the political mainstream.

There's no obvious reason why the party of stability, as Republicans sometimes regard themselves, has had more upheaval than the party of change, which is how Democrats sometimes think of themselves. Perhaps it is because these internal struggles often precede and follow the appearance of political titans, and the Republicans have had two in modern times (Dwight Eisenhower and Reagan) while the Democratic century was dominated by one (Franklin Roosevelt).

Eisenhower and Reagan were skillful above all in their ability to mask the differences in their party. The Goldwater-Rockefeller fissure was in large measure the result of the struggle to replace Eisenhower, just as more the recent fights in the Republican Party have been conducted in Reagan's long shadow.

But the truth is that both major parties have had inner contradictions. The Democrats' were almost fatal: The fight between Southern conservatives and Northern liberals so divided the party that it took a generation for it to recover.

The Republicans' main contradiction, between the traditional conservative yearning for stability and the modern, muscular conservatism forged in reaction to the Great Society, has not yet been resolved. That, more than Afghanistan policy and Romney's views on climate change, is what the 2012 primary and caucus season -- and the latest of the many fights for the soul of the Republican Party -- is really about.

–––––––––––––––––––––– LETTERS ––––––––––––––––––––––

When visiting, drive with common sense To the editor: This weekend will surely be a busy one, with lots of tourists coming up here to visit our beautiful area in which we reside. This is a letter to them: Whether you’re from Massachusetts, Vermont, Canada, Rhode Island, or Timbuktu, when visiting us up here, please drive with common sense.

I’ve already gotten into an argument with one “gentleman” from Massachusetts who cut me off and refused to use his directional at least five times, then had the nerve to get mad at me because I blew my horn letting him know I wasn’t happy with his driving. Last night, I had some impatient “man” from Quebec pass me in the turning lane after he rode my bumper, weaving back and forth for two miles. There are many other instances where I’ve witnessed idiots driving as if they were “home.”

Please, use directionals if you plan on turning. Do not cut people off. If you don’t know which way you’re going, learn to use a map or GPS (which doesn’t always work up here). In intersections, it’s not always the person who gets to the intersection first who has the right of way, especially if you’re turning: It’s the person who goes straight when the light turns green who has the right of way. (This was learned in driver’s ed., if any of you took

that.) Do not pass people in the turning lane if you’re impatient or Canadian, or both.

When at a stop sign, the operative word is stop. This is where you apply brakes, not where you race the oncoming traffic. That also applies to red lights. When people are in crosswalks, please stop for them. These are called crosswaks for a reason. They’re not called crossruns, or whackamole. If riding a bicycle, please, ride in single lanes, not double or triple lanes. We cannot safely pass you if there is oncoming traffic, especially if you’re talking to your pals. Obey all of the rules you have to when driving, like stopping at stop signs, etc ... Also, ride with the traffic when on bicycles, and walk against traffic when walking, as you cannot see oncoming traffic when you have a walkman and are walking with traffic.

If riding motorcycles, please single up as well. Please use your heads, too, when riding them, as we all share the road. If I’ve left anything else out, please feel free to add.

Please drive like you have common sense. As I’ve stated before, we all share the road. We all need to make your stay enjoyable, and we cannot do that if you come here and drive like morons.

Have a happy and safe Fourth of July, and summer!

Teri Fleck Eaton

CONWAY — The Saco Covered Bridge should have never been two lanes, according to the state, but transportation officials didn’t mean to cut it down to one without telling the town. “This happened faster than I had intended,� said Douglas Gosling, the engineer in charge of bridge maintenance at the Department of Transportation, but the change was made for safety sake. "The bridge was hit five times over the winter."

Drivers didn’t pay any attention to the white lines on Friday, however, as they passed each other under the roof as they always did. “I’m not sure how they’re going to enforce it,� said Conway police chief Ed Wagner.

Wagner, like other local officials, had no idea the state was going to change the status of the bridge. “On some things they take it upon themselves.� “We had to call to find out,� said Paul DegliAngeli, the town engineer and director of the public works department.

“It is a state road,� town manager Earl Sires said. “We could have done a better job communicating with the town,� said DOT spokesman Bill Boynton.

The traffic bureau recommended the change, Gosling said, and he thought he would have a chance to fill in the town, but the job was done before he had a chance.

Still, he said, this was important to do. The collisions this winter damaged the bridge and setting off the fire alarm repeatedly. “We felt it was safest for both the public and the bridge.� “I wouldn’t say it’s a huge hazard,� Wagner said, “but we’ve certainly had our share of accidents.�

Several years ago there was a fatal accident there when a motorcyclist struck the bridge. Converting the bridge to a single lane wouldn’t have prevented that one, Gosling said, but it could avert others.

The bridge is 18 feet wide, with the white striping creating 18-inch “curbs� on either side. This reduced the travel lane to 15 feet. As narrow as it is, Gosling said, it should never have been two lanes in the first place. Now it’s “yield to vehicles on the bridge, basically,� he said.

Parade, music, food, fireworks in Conway

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Things are set for the town's 17th annual Fourth of July festivities, which will include a parade, live entertainment and food — all capped off by a choreographed fireworks show. Members of the state champion Kennett High field hockey team are this year's grand marshals for the parade.

Accuweather.com as of Wednesday was predicting a high temperature of 87 degrees, partly sunny with a shower or thunderstorm possible. There's a 35 percent chance of a thunderstorm.

"We really want this to be a fun, family event and a day everyone can be proud of and will remember," John Eastman, Conway Recreation Department director, said. "We want as many people as possible to get into the spirit of the day."

"We want to encourage everyone to come out and be part of this year's parade," Lynore Wagner added.

Eastman, Wagner and assistant recreation director Mike Lane have been working to come up with a full afternoon and evening of entertainment.

The day's events will kick off with the annual parade in Conway Village at 1:30 p.m. Participants in the parade will begin assembling at 1 p.m. on West Side Road opposite Laconia Electric.

For All Your Landscaping Needs

All local fire engines will gather next to the Swift River Covered Bridge.

"Anyone can walk in the parade or ride a bike, but other than that we're asking people to sign up with us in advance so we know you're coming and can reserve a space in the line for you," Lane said. "If you're (operating) a float, an antique car or motorcycle, you need to fill out a form here at the rec department. Anything motorized needs to have an application filled out."

The parade application is online (see www.conwayrec.com) or contact Wagner at 447-5680 or lynore@conwayrec.com. Political groups are welcome to participate in the parade, but must also fill out applications. There is no cost to register, but all floats must feature a protective rail around them for the safety of participants.

Lane said American Legion Posts 95 and 46 will participate in the parade along with the North Conway Fire Department's Honor Guard.

"We'll be continuing our tradition of honoring state champions with the Kennett field hockey team as our grand marshals this year," Lane said.

"I think the girls are excited to be part of the festivities. I think it's a great way to recognize them one last time."

Prizes will be awarded to the top parade participants in a variety of categories. see next page

The parade will flow down Washington Street onto Main Street and conclude at Kennett Middle School.

The festivities will move to North Conway's Schouler Park from roughly 3:30 to 9:45 p.m. with everything from music and dance to face painting, games and a variety food. Last year nearly 10,000 people attended the North Conway events.

Lane said a patriotic ceremony will kick off the North Conway festivities at roughly 3:30 p.m. with local artist Rebecca Deschenes singing the National Anthem.

There will be plenty of live entertainment in Schouler Park from 3:50 to 9:20 p.m. highlighted by The Discount Gigolos, from Salem, performing a wide range of music from different eras from 7:45 to 9:20 p.m.

Arts in Motion kicks off the live entertainment at 3:50 p.m. followed by the the Tina Titzer Act One Dance 4:05 p.m., a Hip Hop Dance at 4:50 p.m., a preview selection by the Mount Washington Valley Theatre Company at 5:10 p.m., the Side Car Heroes at 6 p.m., and — back a third year by popular demand — the Discount Gigolos, from Salem, performing a wide range of music from different eras from 7:45 to 9:20 p.m. Fireworks will be from 9:30 to 9:50 p.m.

"Side Car Heroes are an a cappella group that we had here a couple of years ago and they're very good," Lane said. "The Discount Gigolos have been here three years in a row, they're so popular. People keep coming up to us and asking to bring them back again.

Fortunately, we've fit into their schedule. This year is the most entertainment we've ever had. We have so much that we had to move the parade up half an hour to get everything in. It should be a great Fourth of July."

This year's fireworks will be choreographed to music. There is no rain date for the parade and other activities.

"If it's raining or there's a threat of rain, the fireworks may go off early," Lane said. "They could go off as early as 9:15 if the forecast doesn't look favorable. While we don't have a rain date for the entertainment we do have one with the fireworks company, but we'd have to check with them to find a date that works. Hopefully, the weather will be great and we won't have to worry about this."

Lane said the recreation department has a host of food vendors. Among those on board to date are the Kennett girls' basketball, which will be serving fried dough; the Lutheran Church of the Nativity, serving brownie sundaes; North Conway Community Center, offering hamburgers, cheeseburgers, BBQ chicken, pizza, chips and snow cones; Project SUCCEED, offering glow sticks; the Kennett High Music Department, offering popcorn; the Kennett High ice hockey team, offering cotton candy; North Conway Fire Department, offering kettle corn and ice cream; and Conway/CC United Methodist Church, providing strawberry shortcake and salad.

Anyone with questions about the Fourth of July celebration can contact the recreation department at 4475680.

past generation — Thorne, Bob Morrell of Story Land, Doug Philbrook of the Mount Washington Auto Road, Herbert Schneider of Cranmore, Carroll and Kay Reed of Carroll Reed's, Stan Judge at Wildcat, Sherman Adams at Loon, to name a few — had a hands-on approach that was inspirational.

“All those visionaries were people of extreme independence. I'm not sure if we're now in a new era, in the ski business of the valley or of business in general, but if you look around, it's different,” said Umlah. “And I would have to ask: before the Schneiders, the Morrells, the Thornes, did the Conways exist, because, what was before that? Since they left their mark, I am not sure if anyone can ever have that impact again.” *** Jeff Leich, executive director of the New England Ski Museum, offered the following information about Thorne's war service, having interviewed Thorne for Leich's book, “Tales of the 10th: Mountain Troops and American Skiing.”

“Thad Thorne learned to ski in New Hampshire, primarily at Mount Cranmore, and joined the 87th in 1942 at Fort Lewis. At Camp Hale he was assigned to the 85th and became a platoon sergeant, then was sent to Officer Candidate School with the understanding that he would return to his unit as an officer. When he reported back to his outfit at the port of embarkation, he learned that the 85th had departed two days previously. He spent the rest of the war in a tropical division on Luzon and then served in the occupation of Japan, overseeing the destruction of Japanese munitions. After a second stint in the Army in the Korean War, which he spent in Europe, he was ski patrol director at Wildcat, in its first seven years. He then became involved

with Attitash, serving first as its operations manager, then as general manager and president, building it into one of the state’s leading ski resorts. While at Attitash he also did independent ski area consulting, working to plan and build Wilderness and Loon Mountain in New Hampshire, among others.” *** Jeff Lathrop — who worked under Thorne at Attitash as operations manager beginning in 1976, the first year of the Alpine Slide, and who worked at Attitash until 1992 before going into the insurance business — said Thorne believed in hard work, and of doing everything right. Like all good leaders, according to Lathrop and others, Thorne asked nothing of his employees that he didn't expect of himself.

“Thad was an incredible individual, a true Renaissance man with extraordinary capabilities, knowledge and wisdom. He was great at what he did, and he was fun to work with,” said Lathrop, who was there at Attitash when the decision was made to go forward with snowmaking in 1981 after the snowless winters of 1979-'80 and 198o-'81.

“I think it [snowmaking] was one of those necessary evils, is what it came down to,” said Lathrop, who now works for the Chalmers Group in North Conway. Despite the costs involved, the Attitash board gave the goahead. “Clearly,” said Lathrop, “it became absolutely critical, and Thad recognized that as much as anyone else. The nature of the sport had changed.

We were known as the 'Red Carpet' area, and for us to continue to be that, we had to make changes by putting in snowmaking. Typically, Thad rolled up his sleeves, and put in one of the best systems around.” *** Wilfong and Lathrop saluted Thorne for having a great influence on their lives — a comment echoed by many in putting together this story, including by former Attitash employee and now Cranmore president Ben Wilcox.

“Thad was my mentor early on in my career when I worked for him at Attitash,” said Wilcox, who went on from Attitash to Bretton Woods before becoming Cranmore's general manager four years ago, and now president under its new ownership. “He was and continues to be a driving force in my career. I wouldn't be in the ski business without Thad,” said Wilcox.

Similarly, Wilfong said, “Thad taught me how to be a land surveyor. He also taught me how to be an adult,” said Wilfong, a Marine Corps veteran and small business, trade and software consultant who has worked for the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations. He continues Thorne's love for the woods as a sustainable tree farmer with 500 acres in Stow.

Wilfong gave an idea of what it was like to be part of the Attitash crew back in those first years after it opened in '64-'65.

“Thad taught me how to use the Tucker Snowcat and to roll the slopes at night,” said

Wilfong, now 64. “I would work on the ski patrol during the day, and get some supper and maybe a few hours sleep, before going out onto the slopes to groom. During the big snow winter of '68-'69, we were running the 'Cat almost continuously. I would be out there all night, and Thad would relieve me at 3 in the morn-

ing and take over. With Thad, there was never anything we couldn't do — it was always a great experience to work with him.” *** Thorne is rightly remembered at Attitash as the “Father of the Alpine Slide.”

Thorne traveled to Germany in the 1970s to explore smaller but similar alpine slides

there with fellow board member Jack Middleton, an attorney in Freedom.

“Thad and Jack went to Germany to look at the slides and they came back and said it would be a good opportunity for Attitash,” said longtime friend Norman “Sandy” McCulloch, 84, this week. “I was skeptical — but it proved to be a

ex-Eisenhower chief of staff and Loon developer Sherman Adams.

“I came to New Hampshire [from New York] 33 or 34 years ago. I don't think I had worked for Sherm Adams more than a month before he introduced me to Thad,” said Gravink. “They were competitors,

real cash cow for Attitash.” *** Friend Phil Gravink of Jackson, Thorne's successor at Attitash from 1993 to 1999, shared his experiences this week as a competitor, successor and friend.

Prior to coming to Attitash, Gravink had worked for former New Hampshire governor,

Thad at Attitash and Sherm at Loon, but they had a great respect for one another. Thad's company would do all the surveying for whatever Loon needed. They had a contest — who would get into the office first, coming in at 6 in the morning!”

“I must say,” added Gravink. “we [Adams and Gravink] were very envious of that [Alpine] slide that Thad put in at Attitash. It was very smart of Thad to put in a non-compete clause, because we couldn't have one.”

All the years they were in business.

Gravink says he and Thorne enjoyed a “fantastic” relationship.

When it came time for Thorne to retire, Gravink was hired in spring 1993 by McCulloch, the board chair, and board member Bob Morrell.

Gravink helped negotiate the sale of Attitash to Les Otten's American Skiing Company in 1994.

Under Otten's tenure, Bear Peak was developed next to and as part of Attitash.

Whereas the original Attitash featured classic New England narrow and winding fall line trails, Bear Peak was developed with wider terrain.

“Thad and I always had an ongoing exchange about Attitash and Bear Peak,” related Gravink. “In Thad's mind, Thad's Choice — on the Attitash side — was as wide as he would ever want to make a trail. When I

laid out Bear Peak, it was made to be more western style, with wider trails which are ergonomically designed and which are also easier for making snow. I'd say very definitely that Attitash reflects Thad's vision — the trails are narrow, which protects them from the wind and allows them to hold snow.” *** Gravink and McCulloch said this week in separate interviews they will miss their fishing trips and other adventures together with their friend.

During one of their fishing trips, McCulloch and Gravink said that Thorne opened up with some of his war experiences and other adventure tales dating back to his prep school years.

They included a story about escaping out a third story dormitory window via tied-together sheets, only to be foiled by the dorm master when he entered his co-escapee's second floor window, thus ending their plans to lave school.

Another story verified this week by his daughter Halorie Thorne Rintel and told to Gravink and McCulloch at the camp was about how Thorne when 15 was traveling in Europe with his favorite uncle when the German blitzkrieg began.

They were able to escape from Poland on the very last vessel out, and “Thad stood on the freighter deck, watchsee next page

ing the bombing of Gdansk as the boat fled the harbor,” said Rintel.

“This incident inspired him to run away the next year to join the Royal Canadian Air Force, faking his age,” said Rintel. “He was soon discovered and sent home. They told him to come back in three years. When the U.S. entered the war, he was anxious to sign up.”

“Ours was a 50-year friendship, and there are no equals for me. That man had an understanding of how life should be lived,” said McCulloch, a Dartmouth graduate of 1950 and past trustee, after whom McCulloch Hall is named. “Death will not take that relationship away. We agreed most of the time, argued violently at others, but he was the epitome of New Hampshire granite and my feeling of what integrity ought to be.” *** MEMORIAL SERVICE: Thorne is survived by his wife of 62 years, Virginia Chandler Thorne; his two sisters, Mary Thorne Gould and Lydia Thorne Lucy and their husbands,

That was then, and now is now Hiking –––––

With today’s interest in peak bagging, the Ed Parsons trails to the New Hampshire 4,000 foot peaks are well worn. But add on an AMC hut to a loop hike over such a peak, and you can be sure that in the summer, the trail will be even more busy.

Such was the case this Tuesday, when I did a 7-mile loop hike to Mizpah Spring Hut. In the morning I started out on the Webster-Jackson Trail from the height-of-land in Crawford Notch. Later I took the Mount Jackson branch of this trail to the top of Mount Jackson (4,052 feet) and then continued west on the Webster Cliff Trail to Mizpah Spring Hut. After a lunch break there, I made my way down the Mizpah Cut-Off to the Crawford Path, walked back down to Route 302 next to the AMC Highland Center, and then down the road to my car.

For the last couple hiking columns, I have been visiting AMC Huts, and doing interesting loop hikes in the process. It has given me a chance revisit the huts, where I worked many years ago, and to reach them via interesting loop hikes.

Recently, I saw a New Hampshire Humanities Council talk by professor Allan Koop on the AMC Huts in the White Mountains. He is a brilliant speaker (I also attended his talk on the World War II German prisoner

of war camp in Stark, when his encyclopedic knowledge of this subject flowed out of him like a river). During his talk on the AMC Huts, where he worked as a young man and has been

involved with his entire adult life, he said (and this is extracted from a certain context) that the huts were “about the people, not the mountains.”

This struck me later as a very 20th

Tin Mountain presents ‘Ethics of Recycling’ eco-forum July 14 ALBANY — Tin Mountain’s July eco-forum is "The Ethics of Recycling" on July 14 from noon to 1 p.m., at the Nature Learning Center in Albany.

Sarah Nichols works for RCAP Solutions, an integrated community development non-profit. In her position as Solid Waste Management Specialist, she provides education, training and technical assistance to rural New Hampshire communities looking to increase recycling and save money. She has a bachelor's degree in Environmental and Resource Economics from the University of New Hampshire and a master's in environmental science and management from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Sarah Bernier works for WasteZero, a waste reduction company that focuses on assisting municipalities with lowering solid waste disposal costs. She has a bachelor's degree from the University of Maine in environmental management and policy and

is currently working on a master's in public policy and management at the University of Southern Maine. Before working for WasteZero, she managed the solid waste and recycling programs as well as storm water permitting for Saco and Scarborough, Maine.

In the presentation, Nichols and Bernier will focus on the economic and environmental benefits of recycling.

They also will highlight solutions for communities to expand recycling programs and increase participation among residents. These potential solutions will become increasingly important to sustain the health and wealth of our communities and future generations.

The eco-forum lunchtime lecture series is sponsored by The Flatbread Company of North Conway, the Rock House Mountain Baker, and Frontside Grind and is presented at noon on the second Thursday of each month at the Tin Mountain Nature Learning Center in Albany.

The loons are coming for the biennial auction supporting Bridgton Art Guild July 8 BRIDGTON, Maine — Laughing loons, Fabuloons, Looney Tunes, golfing ;oohs, “Fruit of the Loons”, lamp loons, elegant “On Golden Pond” loons and even a “Ravin’-Loon-A-Tick” are currently on display at Gallery 302 in Bridgton. Fortyfive talented artists have transformed these wooden “dummies” into deliciously extravagant creations that may or may not have any relation to a loon.

The fun begins Friday, July 8, at 5 p.m. on at 112 Main Street in Bridgton, Maine for the second biennial auction supporting the Bridgton Art Guild. A preview time replete with catered elegant food offerings and a cash bar begins the evening with the auction starting at 6:30 p.m. The wild success of the FISH auction in 2009 set high expectations for another gala starring the equally sumptuous loons.

“Community spirit is what’s really working here,” said Beth Cossey, the

Northland

organizer of the event.

The loon auction kicks off the Bridgton Art Guild’s new Capital Campaign and begins the busy summer of nine successful years of bringing art to the Lake Region. Art in the Park is held the following weekend (July 16) at Highland Lake’s Shorey Park in Bridgton. Art in Bloom, and the Camper Show follow in close succession and are augmented this year by classes in the newly installed Classroom 302. Guest artists, monthly receptions, workshops, classes, and seminars keep the Guild and Gallery alive and entertaining for all ages.

Gallery 302 is a multimedia Cooperative Artisan Gallery that opened in July of 2003. It is under the auspices of the non-profit Bridgton Art Guild, and welcomes donations to support community and the arts. For more information call (207) 647-2787.

Aside from the water levels returning to fishable levels last Tuesday the Alder hatch began. The Alder hatch is an event that every fly fisherman, who fishes the Androscoggin, waits for with great anticipation.

The Alder is not really an Alder; it is fact a Zebra Caddis. The mis-naming probably comes from the fact that most eastern rivers are lined with alder trees in which these big bugs love to reside. I was told that on last Wednesday there were clouds of Alders moving up the river. Generally the first few days of the hatch are the most important as the trout feast on them with abandon. However, after a few days the trout seem to grow tired of them and search out other food. This doesn’t mean that they will not take an Alder pattern when presented with one.

The main reason for heading up the Androscoggin last Saturday was to take my good friend Jake MacVarish and his father fishing.

Jake had purchased the trip at last spring’s Saco Valley Anglers Trout Unlimited Auction. Jake and his Dad are long time customers of the North Country Angler and for the last two years Jake has been tying flies for the shop. I should mention that Jake just turned 16. Jake has the distinction of attending Trout Unlimited Trout Camps in three different states. He has been at the Maine and New York camps and this July he will be at the New Hampshire camp.

It is always a pleasure to fish with

friends like Jake and his dad. Right from the beginning they insisted that I fish with them rather than play guide. I reluctantly accepted their offer. OK, I jumped at the chance.

We began our day below the Errol Dam and as predicted the alder trees were full of Alders. We quickly geared up and waded into the river.

A few fish were working here and there and all three of us managed to hook fish right from the start. Most of these fish were small salmon and although lots of fun to catch not the big fish we were hunting. At the tail of the pool Jake’s Dad caught a couple of nice fish on an Alder fly larva imitation. There were lots of the adults in the trees, but none on the water.

At the very end of the pool there is a good sized eddy. Every angler worth his salt knows that: “Foam is Home.” I was watching Jake fish from the bank when I noticed that some of the Alders were beginning to mate. Their spent bodies were gathering at my feet and were being sucked down stream into the eddy.

With in seconds there were trout rising along the edge of the eddy. I handed Jake a spent Alder pattern and told him to fish the edge of the eddy. I don’t think that he had made more than three casts before he was into a nice brook trout. It was the first good trout of the morning.

We spent the rest of the day working different spots along the river before ending up at Pontook Dam. It was just about 4 p.m. and the river see next page

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, July 2, 2011— Page 35

from preceding page

was running pretty high. We waded in, but I didn’t have much hope until the dam keeper showed up and shut down the gate.

Just about the time the gate was fully shut the fish turned on. We all had caught a couple of fish when Jake found the “honey hole”.

He spent the next half hour landing trout and salmon one right after another while Jake’s Dad and I managed only a couple of shiners. Who says location isn’t everything?

After an hour or so of hot and heavy fishing, at least on Jake’s part, we decided to call it a day. In all honesty I don’t know when I have spent a better day on the Androscoggin.

If you would like to see a couple of pictures of Jake and a short video of Jake landing his big brook trout you can look up the North Country Angler on Facebook.

See you on the river.

This season brings together some 40 members of the IMAI family which includes friends, colleagues, and former students, who studied, worked and performed with him

over the years.

Since its first season in 1997, IMAI has drawn together more that 230 performers, both young aspiring musicians on the brink of their careers with seasoned artists of international reputation, all of whom have come from thirty nations on five continents. They attend this annual summer residency program for intensive study, artistic development and the joy of music-making which they share with concert audiences. These resident artist/musicians will be performing this season’s series of eight classical chamber music concerts given in Fryeburg, as well as an additional concert on Tuesday, July 12, at the St. Kieran community Center for the Arts in Berlin.

All Fryeburg concerts take place at the Bion Cram Library on the campus of Fryeburg Academy in Fryeburg Maine. Admission is $12 for adults, $6 for seniors and students. Sunday afternoon concert is free to seniors and to those with mobility limitations. For more details call 367-8661 or visit www. imaifestival.org.

HIKING from page 28

I thought to myself that it would be good as the 21st century progressed, that the huts became more about “the people and the mountains.” If humans can’t recover an emotional connection with the natural world in this century-something that has been part of them until only recently — then the world is going to be in dire shape when the 22nd century rolls around.

Fortunately in some ways, the AMC Huts are helping to make that connection come true. They are in the 21st century. Also, doing loop hikes around the mountains to get to and from the huts, and thus appreciate the mountains more, has always been a tradition.

I was reminded of this Tuesday after I had climbed up the lower WebsterJackson Trail, and turned onto the Mount Jackson branch of this trail, which bypasses Mount Webster and goes directly to the summit of Mount Jackson. It was mid-morning, and quite a few people who had been guests at Mizpah Hut the night before had chosen to go across the range to Mount Jackson and down the Webster-Jackson Trail to the valley, a 4.5 mile hike that was harder and more scenic than the way they had climbed up to the hut the day before on the Crawford Path. Mothers, fathers and kids descended past me as I made my way up to the rocky summit of Mount Jackson. I scrambled up the rocks the last few feet to the open top, with its good view in most directions, though it was starting to cloud up.

A dark cloud hid Mount Washington to the north, but Mount Jackson’s ample view of the Dry River valley spread out

below. I sat on ledge for a snack, but the black flies were hatching up at 4,000 feet, and my stay was brief.

So far, the best view I had seen on the hike was only a quarter mile from

my car, on the summit of Elephant Head, just above the height-of-land in Crawford Notch. That part of the notch is soaked in history. I remembered the painting by Alvan Fisher,

completed in 1834, called Gate of the Notch. It was painted near today’s Highland Center looking south, and included a dark Elephant Head. see next page

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, July 2, 2011— Page 39

from preceding page

Back on the top of Mount Jackson, I could see Mizpah Hut less than a couple miles away, perched in the trees on the slope of Mount Pierce. I started down the Webster Cliff Trail, heading for it. Soon I crossed a muddy section of trail on well made foot bridges made of local logs and flown in lumber. Booming cotton grass covered the mud.

Soon I reached the next junction, and turned right a couple hundred feet to Mizpah Spring Hut. The newest AMC Hut, built in 1964-5, Mizpah has a modern design that can’t really be described without a visual image of it. Its streamlined shape is meant to withstand a 200 mph wind coming down from the ridge above. It was built after an article about the huts in National Geographic Magazine by William O. Douglas caused a surge of awareness, and also to break up the walk between Zealand Hut and Lakes of the Clouds.

It was finished before I started working on the AMC Construction Crew in 1966, so we never did any projects there, though I often was a “floater” there, replacing a hut crew member on days off.

In 1965, David Eastman (now valley resident, naturalist and creator if Country Ecology on WMWV Radio), worked most of the summer at Mizpah Hut. Starting out on AMC Construction Crew that summer, he was assigned to the Mizpah hut crew by Huts Manager George Hamilton after another crew member had to depart.

The summer was a wonderful experience for him. But a more life changing experience awaited him elsewhere, and that was his only summer in the huts. That fall, on October 1st, he reported to Fort Benning, Georgia for training to become a helicopter pilot, and was soon flying in Viet Nam. During that same summer, on July 10th, 1965, there was dedication of the new Mizpah Hut, and many people climbed up to the hut to kick off the

beginning of a modern age in the hut system. Construction crew chief Carl Blanchard was there, with his wife Barbara. Barbara was one of the “Hutmen F” who manned Pinkham Notch Camp during World War II. It was there she met Carl, before the war. More of genteel city girl than a backwoods rustic, she complimented him.

Also present at the dedication was an opposite female personality, Nancy Freeman of Jackson. A hiker by passion, a mother by vocation and chemist by training, she was the only female in a graduating class of chemists in an age long before feminism.

Wearing hiking boots was second nature for her.

Years after the dedication ceremony, Freeman recalled Barbara Blanchard arriving at Mizpah Hut after a long 2.6 mile uphill climb, and being totally beside herself because she had forgotten her comfortable day slippers for inside the hut.

The place was about the people and about the mountains.

I lingered in the wooden dining room for lunch and then headed down the trail. The Mizpah Cut-Off brought me down to the old Crawford Path.

It was interesting that the Crawford Path, the oldest continuously maintained trail in the country, was also part of the “pack trail” for the new Mizpah Hut. During the 1960s, packing supplies to the huts was still (unwisely) competitive. Sid Havely, the crew chief of the Construction Crew, packed 300 pounds from the summit of Mount Washington down to Lakes of the Clouds Hut. My much more modest personal record was carrying an ungodly 130 pounds up to Mizpah Hut, which in today’s more enlightened hut system, would not be even considered.

But that was then, and now was now. I reached the highway, and walked down past the Crawford Depot towards my car. Elephant Head reared up on the left side of the Gateway to the Notch, as it has back to the age of the mastodon and far beyond.

DAVID EASTMAN

Country Ecology: Elderberries As we enjoy this Fourth of July weekend, I look forward to observing our two species of native elderberries. Scarlet or red-berried elder is beginning to produce bright red fruits around my house as its descriptive name implies. Its yellowish-white blossoms looked something like the lilac’s clusters earlier in spring.

These numerous small flowers are in showy, elongated clusters when they bloom then. Now, the common or American elder is profusely blossoming, as if patriotically celebrating our national holiday with cascading skyrockets of blossoms out in the swamplands, and barnyards it also resides in.

I have moved several of the scarlet elder plants around this Bryant Road river property to locations to benefit the birds.

But, I’ve found I cannot move

(Grosbeaks and finches like leaves’ same rate of growth. The commercial cherries, too, which shrub’s root structure is minimal, bear crops at the same time.) and I certainly found that out when see next page

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, July 2, 2011— Page 41

from preceding page

You may encounter the colorful scarlet elder shrub back in the forest understory while hiking. It grows there along shady logging roads or trails, whereas most other shrubs crave sunlight-and are edge plants or colonizers of forest gaps. They react to opening disturbances, as when windthrow topples large trees.

Red fruits often appear on particular shrub species that are visually hard for the birds to discover, or remain over winter for resident birds, which are few in number after the migrants have departed. The birds see red most easily of all the colors in the spectrum, and probably sense blue pigments the least.

So, in the understory’s gloom, the scarlet elder’s red berries are easily discernible for forest birds to find and devour. I have had a hard time even adequately photographing this beautiful plant, because of low light intensity where it occurs.

The elder that is blooming now, and we are most familiar with, is the common or American elder.

This bird-friendly shrub is commonly found planted around dooryards and barn foundations of early American homes in this region. The colonial farmers placed it there for good luck, doing so during birthdays and weddings as a commemorative planting. (There is some longstanding mythology about the elders, going way back in time, but that history escapes me at present.) Elderberry wine and jam were made from the American elder’s dark-purplish, pulpy fruit. In good summers, the weight of these ripening clusters hangs them downward. It grows best in open areas with full sunlight, and in moist, rich soil. The tasty fruits are tiny drupes, which limits their food uses for us--as their large seeds are too hard to chew and must be strained out before jams or jellies are made.

The settlers also employed its warty, pithy stem during late winter’s maple-sugaring times for use as a spile inserted into a drilled hole of the trunk. They had learned to use the easily hollowed-out, brittle stem from the Indians, who placed birch

bark baskets on the ground below the sugar maple’s pierced trunk for gathering the plentiful, sugary sap.

The nice thing about transplanting the American elder is that one cannot gather up all the roots in the mucky, wetland soil it is found in, so one does not have to fear that they removed all of this important plant’s structure from its native habitat. Enough rootlets will remain to reestablish the common elder where it grows best, in the black muck, while you have successfully brought most of this bird feeding plant to your homestead’s grounds-just like your Yankee ancestors did. So, maybe plan a wedding or birth celebration around it for ole times’ sake.

No Matter Who You Are or Where You Are On Your Life Journey

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

DILBERT

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis There’s a harmonious feeling in your heart, and you know you are connected to the people who paved the roads you drive on, to the waitress in the restaurant and to the man out walking his dog in the midday sun.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

There’s a place inside you that is safe and protected. You hold the only key, you will never lose it, and no one can ever open the door to this place but you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Promoting someone else’s happiness does not have to happen at the expense of your own. More than likely, there is a mutually satisfying arrangement that can be struck without either party feeling at all compromised.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Every person has a different chemical and emotional makeup, causing a different reaction from you. If someone is to be your good friend, it is important that you like who you are when you are with this person.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have a certain way of charming people whether or not you want to. Enjoy the wave of popularity that occurs now. It will take a while to answer all your calls and messages.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 2). You like yourself more and more. Others feel this and become comfortable with if not enamored of your particular joie de vivre. There’s a financial breakthrough in the next six weeks when your efforts add up to a big payoff. You’ll take a chance in August and love where it leads. There’s a family expansion in September. Taurus and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 15, 49, 25 and 13.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are skilled at the art of persuasion. You know to plant an idea in someone’s head and then back off and let it take root and grow. Your prospect will take ownership of the idea, believing it was his all along.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll make a startling statement just to get everyone’s attention. What you say is probably true, as well, but that’s beside the point. You’re really trying to get people to sit up and take notice.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re on an information-gathering mission of sorts. Keep your questions unstructured and open, and people will tell you the most unusual facts about themselves and the world.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You won’t accept all you’re offered. Extraordinary generosity makes you feel beholden to the giver. You much prefer a level of generosity within a range you could potentially pay back at a later date.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have every intention of re-creating yourself.

By taking only one or two actions a day toward your goal, you will land in a future that is significantly different from the one in which you took no action at all.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be super-observant. People will reveal their moods to you in the way they move and interact -- much more so than they will in the words they choose, which will be safe and expected.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your attention is like Miracle-Gro. It makes things flourish. Whatever you appreciate (recognize the full worth of) will appreciate (raise in value) over time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Yesterday’s Answer

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, July 2, 2011— Page 45

Today is Saturday, July 2, the 183rd day of 2011. There are 182 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 2, 1961, author Ernest Hemingway shot himself to death at his home in Ketchum, Idaho.

On this date: In 1566, French astrologer, physician and professed prophesier Nostradamus died in Salon (sah-LOHN’).

In 1776, the Continental Congress passed a resolution saying that “these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.” In 1881, President James A. Garfield was shot by Charles J. Guiteau at the Washington railroad station; Garfield died the following September.

(Guiteau was hanged in June 1882.) In 1926, the United States Army Air Corps was created.

In 1937, aviator Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while attempting to make the first round-the-world flight along the equator.

In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law a sweeping civil rights bill passed by Congress.

In 1980, President Jimmy Carter signed a proclamation reviving draft registration.

In 1986, ruling in a pair of cases, the Supreme Court upheld affirmative action as a remedy for past job discrimination.

In 1991, actress Lee Remick died in Los Angeles at age 55.

In 1994, a USAir DC-9 crashed in poor weather at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport in North Carolina, killing 37 of the 57 people aboard.

One year ago: Gen. David Petraeus arrived in Afghanistan to assume command of U.S. and NATO forces after his predecessor, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, was fired for intemperate remarks he’d made about Obama administration figures in Rolling Stone magazine. The United States defeated Japan 7-2 to win its seventh consecutive world softball championships. British novelist Beryl Bainbridge, 77, died in London.

Today’s Birthdays: Country singer Marvin Rainwater is 86. Jazz musician Ahmad Jamal is 81. Actor Robert Ito is 80.

Actress Polly Holliday is 74. Former White House chief of staff John H. Sununu is 72. Writer-director-comedian Larry David is 64. Luci Baines Johnson, daughter of President Lyndon B. Johnson, is 64. Actor Saul Rubinek is 63. Rock musician Roy Bittan is 62. Rock musician Gene Taylor is 59. Actress-model Jerry Hall is 55. Actor Jimmy McNichol is 50. Country singer Guy Penrod is 48. Rock musician Dave Parsons is 46. Singer Michelle Branch is 28. Actress Vanessa Lee Chester is 27. Figure skater Johnny Weir is 27. Actress-singer Ashley Tisdale is 26. Actress Lindsay Lohan is 25.

NON-DRINKER DOESN’T WANT A PARTY-POOPER REPUTATION

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 22-year-old senior in college. Much of college social life revolves around alcohol. I have no problem drinking responsibly, but I take medication that prohibits me from imbibing alcohol.

Strangers and friends often ask, “Why aren’t you drinking?” They either assume it’s for religious reasons or I’m uptight. Saying I’m on meds seems like a bit of a buzz-kill.

This is particularly troublesome when I’m invited “out for drinks” at a bar. I never know what to order or say. I hate feeling like I’m obligated to drink, but I don’t want to pass on events because of the awkward questions.

What’s a quick reply I can give to those who ask why I don’t drink? And how can I go out for drinks without actually drinking? -- STILL SOCIABLE AT STANFORD DEAR STILL SOCIABLE: Order a “virgin” whatever you’re being offered. There are many reasons why people don’t drink. Among them: They don’t like the taste, they don’t like the buzz, the empty calories, they’re allergic, they don’t want to risk a traffic violation with alcohol in their system, or they never started drinking in the first place. To imbibe or not is a personal choice. It’s OK to be different. And if you’re challenged, it’s perfectly fine to just say, “No thanks!”

DEAR ABBY: We live in a very nice neighborhood frequented by walkers and runners. For the second time in just a few months, several women who regularly walk past our home have approached me at neighborhood events to ask about items I can only think were found in our recycling bin.

Specifically, how did I like a particular brand of pasta sauce,

or would I recommend that bottle of chardonnay?

Abby, our recycling bins have lids and our bin is never left open, which means these women must be peeking inside to check out our eating and drinking habits. I am now so selfconscious about our recycling I have begun burying bottles and cans under the newspaper and watching the bin to catch them in the act. My husband suggested leaving a nasty note on top of our recyclables. Any suggestions? -- FOR OUR EYES ONLY IN MILWAUKEE DEAR EYES ONLY: Once garbage is put out for collection it is no longer private property. A certain celebrity was embarrassed to learn this firsthand when some paparazzi rooted through her garbage and discovered to their glee some empty containers of meds to treat a private health matter.

It’s possible the walkers are just trying to be friendly and strike up a conversation. But if your suspicions are correct, there are several ways to handle the situation. The first would be to delay putting out your recyclables until just before they are to be collected. Another would be to visit a novelty shop and pick up some fake hands or feet -- or a large rubber rat -- and place . them strategically in one of your bins. Or, affix “sweet” Post-It notes to your jars and bottles reading, “This was great!” or, “Don’t waste your money ...”

If that doesn’t discourage them from inventorying your trash, then there’s always the direct approach. Respond with, “Why do you ask?” And when they tell you, let them know how you feel about their answer.

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

Food Preservation Growing and preserving your own food lets you enjoy delicious, locally grown fruits and vegetables throughout the year. Even if you don’t have time or land to grow your own food, Carroll County fruit and vegetable growers offer a wide variety of high quality produce at roadside stands, farmers’ markets, and pick your own operations.

The advantages of preserving food at home include supporting local agriculture, taking advantage of the abundance of high quality produce, preserving food within hours of picking, and having control over the ingredients. The trade-off for these advantages is the time and effort to preserve food at home and the cost of equipment.

There are three main methods of preserving food: canning (includes pickling and jellied products), freezing, and drying. Which method you choose will depend on the characteristics of the food you want to preserve and whether there is a tested and safe method of preserving it.

Whether you consider yourself an expert or novice food preserver, you can save time, effort, and money by following these four important steps as you plan ahead for this coming summer.

Plan carefully before you begin to preserve food at home. Time invested before you begin will save you time and money later. see FOOD page 56

UNH Cooperative Extension has been providing information about preserving food at home for more than 95 years. Call UNH Cooperative Extension at 447-3834 or 1-800-322-4166 (NH only) with your questions before you begin preserving food. Many times callers ask questions while in the middle of the process only to be disappointed to learn they can’t alter the recipe.

Use only up-to-date tested recipes and methods. This is an important step. Preserving food safely at home is an evolving science. Recipes and methods are constantly updated based on current research. Unsafe methods of canning include using an “open-kettle” method (no processing after jars are filled), steam canning, and using the oven to seal jars.

Gather all your ingredients and equipment.

Make sure you have everything you need on hand so you can work quickly and efficiently. Inspect equipment and replace as needed. UNH Cooperative Extension does check dial-gauges on pressure canners for accuracy. Dial-gauges need to be tested on an annual basis. Weighted gauges do not need to be tested. Call us at 447-3834 to make an appointment today.

Follow recipes and directions precisely. Tested recipes are based on precise amounts of ingredients and procedures. For some preservation methods, altering either can affect the safety of the final product. Adjustments in processing time may have to be made for canning in altitudes of 1,000 feet or above.

There are locations in Carroll County where people live that are at or above 1,000 feet. Take the time to know this before you begin in preserving food.

For resources, recipes, fact sheets and answers to your food preservation questions, call UNH Cooperative Extension at 447-3834 or 1-800-322-4166 (NH only), Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4 pm. The most frequently requested food preservation fact sheets include pickles, jams & jellies, salsa, tomato and tomato products, and freezing fruit and vegetable charts. Check out the UNH CE Carroll County website at http://extension.unh.edu/Counties/Carroll/Carroll.htm.

For information online visit the National Center for Home Food Preservation website at http://www. uga.edu/nchfp/. This comprehensive website features research-based information, publications, recipes, methods, and links for most food preservation methods.

Gibson Gleanings

Gibson Craft Fair this weekend I don’t know about anyone else but when I was a little girl the Fourth of July was all about fireworks. As dusk approached on the fourth, my brother, cousin, friends and I would walk the two blocks to Columbus Park in anticipation of a spectacular light display. We usually arrived an hour or two before the show started so we came prepared with a few sparklers, firecrackers, wire coat hangers and steel wool. I’d like to explain how the hangers and steel wool worked but I’m afraid I’d get into trouble. Let’s just say they created a great “opening act” for the real show. Have a wonderful holiday!

With all the activities taking place this weekend, we hope you won’t forget to stop by the front lawn of the Gibson Center for our annual Fourth of July Craft Fair. The fair is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday.

Karen has every spot on the lawn filled and there’s a wonderful variety of crafters including stained glass, Adirondack chairs, woodcrafts, fine jewelry, art, pottery, gourmet specialty foods and much more. The town parking lot is right next door so you can simply walk over to the center and later take a stroll down Main Street.

Finally, I do need to say that we

are looking for new volunteers to drive Meals on Wheels especially for our Bartlett/Jackson route. If you have two/three hours you can spare once a week, please call the nutrition office at 356-3231. It’s a great way to give back to your community and a wonderful way to show your support for the Gibson Center.

Have a good week and pray for our troops!

James Francis Terry

James Francis Terry, 80, died peacefully at home in Bartlett on June 30, 2011 following a struggle with inoperable lung cancer.

He was surrounded by his loving family—wife Patricia, daughter and four sons. He faced death with composure, confidence in his faith and even good humor.

Mr. Terry was born on Aug 19, 1930 in South Weymouth, Mass., son of James F. Terry and Mary Alice Tracy Terry. He was graduated from Boston Latin School in 1947; Lawrence Academy, Groton, Mass., 1948; Harvard College, 1952; Harvard Business School, MBA, 1954.

He and his wife, Patricia Donahue Terry lived at 13 Cathedral Trail, Bartlett, N.H. at Attitash Mountain Ski Resort. They both enjoyed skiing, hiking and mountain biking. Over the years he became an avid fly fisherman who enjoyed working the bountiful streams and rivers of New Hampshire's North Country.

Mr. Terry was one of the original members of the AOGA (Attitash Old Goats Association); a member of the Harvard Club of Boston; a member of the

There was no selectmen’s meeting this fifth Wednesday of the month. Please be aware that the office will be closed on Monday in honor of Independence Day. The Carroll County Delegation had a meeting on June 27 where they were to discuss the first quarter budget. However, that didn’t happen as they got bogged down with discussion of what to do with the old nursing home, which will be unoccupied by September when the new Mountain View Community opens. To see the proceedings, check out Valley Vision or governmentoversite. com.

Gibson Center: Don’t miss the Crafts and Artisan Festival this weekend from 10-5 p.m. on the lawn of the center. There will be no lunches served on Monday as it is Independence Day. Library: On July 6, Mountain Top Music will present “Peter and the Wolf ” with audience participation. Learn more about the prize offered to adults who read and write a review of the material they read by picking up a form at the front desk of the library. Teens also can win prizes for reading. Check it out with the front desk. If you are in the sixth grade or older, join the group who will meet at 3:30 p.m. on July 7 and have some fun in the library.

M&D Productions will present “God of Carnage” starting July 7 and continuing on the 8, 9,14,15,16, 21, 22, and 23. All performances are at 7 p.m. The theme of the play is bullying.

Gorham is celebrating their 175 anniversary with events planned through this weekend. On Saturday there will be a classic car parade starting at 11:30 a.m. and Monday there is a Fourth of July Parade at 2 p.m. At 10 p.m. there will be a musical fireworks display.

Further away, the Lakes Region area holds a free

outdoor music program at Tilton Island Park in downtown Tilton on Sunday, July 3. The Amoskeag Banjo Strummers will be playing. Starting July 8 at the Center Harbor Town Bandstand there will be an outdoor concert at 7 p.m. Bring your own blanket or chair.

The supermarket is a great place to meet people who you don’t get to see often. I met Frank and Muriel Wolfe there on Tuesday. They are back in Albany for the “summer” and that means until October. They are well and happy to be in New Hampshire ... too hot in Georgia now. Frank was wondering about an article he read in N.H. Magazine about the building of a swimming pool along the eastern portion of the Kanc. Anyone know any more about this?

Sandy Stowell has returned from a month’s trip and is delighted to be back in New Hampshire. She took her motor home to Ohio to finalize the closing up of the family farm and moved many of the pieces from that home to her children who are presently living in North Carolina. What she found in both places was hot weather and humidity. In North Carolina a tornado hit nearby. Daughter Lisa will be staying state side for at least a year before being redeployed. Son Michael will be leaving the service completely by July. Her son Brian married a lovely woman, Rebecca, in April. He and Rebecca have taken in his 93 year old grandmother (Sandy’s mom) to live with them in California. On the return trip she got stuck on Route 95 in New Jersey for what seemed hours.

Stan and I celebrated our 52nd wedding anniversary at the Darby Field Inn (the same place we celebrated our 50th) last Sunday. As always the meal was excellent. In a conversation with Mark Donaldson, we learned that the family is doing very nicely and he and Maria have become grandparents.

Congratulations to Kimberly Nadeau and Timothy Raymond on the birth of their son Asden Joseph. Grandparents are Cheryl Nadeau of Albany, Thomas Nadeau of Manchester, and Barbara and Ken Bishop of Warren, Mass.

Hope everyone enjoys this very special weekend.

Have a great week as well.

HOME OF THE WEEK

Have a blast this weekend!

BY JASON ROBIE It’s no secret Fourth of July weekend is the official kickoff for summer. For those of us who live here, we know it because all of the attractions, restaurants and other tourism-based businesses are finally open all week. It is also the start of the “season” where it is challenging to make your way down Main Street during the day — and weekends are another whole story!

Do you have big plans for this weekend!?

North Conway and Conway have full days of celebration planned with live entertainment, vendors, food and fireworks. The parade will start around 1:30 Monday in Conway Village followed by some dancing acts, the Mount Washington Valley Theater Company’s performance and some live musical acts after that. The fireworks will light up the summer sky at 9:45 p.m. All the details are at www.mtwashingtonvalley.org.

That is all happening on Monday, July 4.

Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm is kicking things off a little early. They have a full day of celebration on Saturday, July 2. Join them for an old-fashioned Independence Day celebration complete with a farm-fresh barbecue lunch along with live music in the gazebo. There will be multiple farm tours as well as games for the kids at 12:30. They will celebrate America’s birthday at 1:30 with cake and ice cream! They can be found at www.RemickMuseum.org or by calling (603) 323-7591.

Fourth of July is one of our favorite holidays.

It not only gives us the chance to see fireworks light up the sky and reconnect with our friends and family over a barbecue, but it also gives us “cause for pause” to perhaps reflect on the reason for all the hubbub. Why was that summer day in 1776 so important? We have made it the “national day” of the United States and it is a federal holiday, officially commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.

The actual “legal separation” of the 13 colonies from Great Britain occurred on July 2, 1776 when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence proposed

by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia. The Declaration of Independence was a statement explaining that resolution and was principally authored by none other than Thomas Jefferson. There is debate about the actual signing date being on the Fourth of July versus a month later in August, but I think you’ll be hard pressed to get the date of our celebrations changed now.

In a remarkable coincidence, both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the only signers of the Declaration of Independence that later served as presidents of the United States, both died on the same day: July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the Declaration! Although he did not sign the Declaration, the fifth President of the United States, James Monroe died July 4, 1831. Calvin Coolidge, the 30th president, was born on July 4, 1872 and was the only president to be born on the Fourth.

In the spirit of celebration, in 1778, General George Washington marked the Fourth with a double ration of rum for his soldiers and an artillery salute! In 1820, Eastport, Maine held its see ROBIE page 64

Pending home sales turn around in May Pending home sales rose strongly in May with all regions experiencing gains from a year ago, pointing to higher housing activity in the second half of the year, according to the National Association of Realtors.

The Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator based on contract signings, rose 8.2 percent to 88.8 in May from an upwardly revised 82.1 in April and is 13.4 percent higher than the 78.3 reading in May 2010. The data reflects contracts but not closings, which normally occur with a lag time of one or two months.

This is the first time since April 2010 that contract activity was above yearago levels, and the monthly gain was the strongest increase since last November when the index rose 10.6 percent.

Lawrence Yun, National Association of Realtors' chief economist, said the improvement bodes well for home prices.

“Absorption of inventory is the key to price improvement, and this solid gain in contract signings implies that home values in many localities are or will soon be stabilizing as inventories get absorbed at a faster pace,” he said.

“Some markets have made a rapid turnaround, going from soft activity to contract signings rising by more than 30 percent from a year ago, including areas such as Hartford, Conn.; Indianapolis; Minneapolis; Houston; and Seattle.”

Pending home sales have trended up unevenly since bottoming last June, rising in seven of the past 11 months.

“Home sales still could be 15 to 20 percent higher,” Yun said. “If banks would simply return to normal sound underwriting standards and begin lending to more creditworthy borrowers, we’d get a much faster recovery in the housing sector.”

“In addition, a nonsensical situation has developed recently in some states with HUD unable to complete foreclosure deals because of insufficient funds to pay attorney fees at closing, even with buyers offering the full listing price,” Yun added.

The Pending Home Sale Index in the Northeast rose 7.3 percent to 69.2 in May and is 4.4 percent above a year ago. In the Midwest the index jumped 10.5 percent to 82.8 and is 17.2 percent higher than May 2010. Pending home sales in the South increased 4.1 percent to an index of 95.0 in May and are 14.6 percent higher than a year ago. In the West the index surged 12.9 percent to 100.6 and is 13.5 percent above May 2010.

Yun cautioned that healthy job creation is necessary to ensure a solid recovery in both housing and the overall economy. “The job market has sputtered recently, and because variations

in local job creation impact housing demand, markets will recover unevenly around the country,” he said.

In what Standard & Poor’s analysts described as a “welcome shift from recent months,” the closely watched S&P/Case-Shiller index showed its strongest positive movement since June of last year with the release of Tuesday's report.

After steep declines from 2007 to 2009, home prices have been bouncing around the bottom for two years since and “the market still has the look of stuck in the doldrums,” Robert Shiller, chief economist for Marcomarkets and namesake of the Case-Shiller index told Bloomberg Television.

But Shiller says he sees a “little bit of optimism” in the latest index results. He says the housing market is characterized by momentum and while further declines are likely in the cards, subsequent months’ data could present at least a short-range upward trend.

Commenting on the latest numbers, Rick Sharga, RealtyTrac SVP, said, “[Tuesday’s] Case-Shiller report is the first positive pricing news we’ve seen in quite some time, but not a signal that the housing market is on the road to recovery.”

Sharga says the small uptick in home

prices recorded in April may have been due to seasonality, a slowing of distressed property sales because of ongoing paperwork issues, or even a change in the mix of the types of properties sold during the month.

“Indications remain that while home prices may be beginning to stabilize, there’s still a good chance that we will see more price depreciation before we bottom out later this year,” Sharga said.

Patrick Newport is U.S. economist for IHS Global Insight. He says going forward, the Case-Shiller indexes are likely to continue to post increases during the spring and summer homebuying season, and then turn down again come October.

Adding to home price pressures, he notes that according to the Mortgage Bankers Association, nearly 13 percent of all homeowners with mortgages are either behind on their payments or in foreclosure.

“We believe that weak demand and the weight of these mortgages-gone-bad will lead to distressed sales that will eventually drag the Case-Shiller composite indexes down at least another 5 percent” before turning around in 2012, Newport said.

Planned decrease in the conforming loan limit may add more pressure to the housing market A scheduled change in conforming loan limits for government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the Federal Housing Administration, could put a damper on already depressed home prices, according to a new study from the National Association of Home Builders’ Economics and Housing Policy Group.

The size of conforming loans — also know as jumbo mortgages — for the GSEs currently is limited to $417,000 but can rise to $729,750, depending on local median home prices. These limits, however, are set to revert Oct. 1 to lower permanent criteria for high-cost areas under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, unless Congress acts to extend these levels. The base limit will stay at $417,000, but the formula for establishing loan limits for high-cost areas will decrease from 125 percent to 115 percent of the area median home price, and the national ceiling will drop from $729,750 to $625,500.

first celebration of the Fourth of July and it remains the largest in the state to this day.

Speaking of celebration, in 2009 New York City held the largest fireworks display in the country with over 22 tons of pyrotechnics exploding over the city! I think the displays here in the Mount Washington Valley will be a little more tame (and a LOT less costly!).

So as we see the cars streaming up Route 16 and I-93 for the weekend, we can’t help but be reminded of why we live in this beautiful state and this picturesque region. We love it for the peaceful mornings with nothing to break the silence except for a few early-rising birds. We love it for the calm evenings with “spacious skies," lightning bugs, meandering moose and panoramic “purple mountain majesties."

We love it for all the same reasons all of those

Homes that will become ineligible to be purchased and securitized by the GSEs or to be purchased with FHA financing as a result of the lower limits would likely require mortgage financing with higher interest rates and other less favorable loan terms, such as higher down payments and stricter credit requirements, according to NAHB economists Robert Dietz and Natalia Siniavskaia, authors of the study.

The pressure on home prices could extend beyond homes directly affected by the lower limits, the study warns, as home sales are interrelated — such as first-time buyers purchasing homes from moveup buyers eyeing a pricier home. Using data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2009 American Community Survey, the study estimated five million homes would be ineligible for GSE funding due to the new loan limit. and more than 12 million homes would be ineligible for FHA-insured mortgages. © CTW Features

QUESTION: Is there any evidence we’ve hit bottom and that the market is beginning to recover?

ANSWER: It’s possible to tell how far we’ve fallen, but whether we’ve hit bottom is something we’ll only know after the fact.

According to the National Association of Realtors, “Sales of existinghome sales rose in March, continuing an uneven recovery that began after sales bottomed last July.” That is, the annual rate of sales was 5.10 million units in March versus 4.92 million units in February.

But is this really an increase?

There were 28 days in February — an average of 175,714 sales per day.

In March, with 31 days, the average was 164,516 units. As well, sales in March 2011 were 6.3 percent below March 2010.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency reports that home prices in February were 18.6 percent below the peak in April 2007. Essentially, home prices are where they were in February 2004.

Lastly, figures from the Federal Reserve show that the value of U.S.

homes stood at $22.7 trillion in 2006 — a value that fell to $16.4 trillion in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Meanwhile, the real estate research firm REIS Inc. reports that in 2010 and into the first quarter of 2011 apartment rents in major metro areas were rising while vacancies fell.

So, no, as this is written, the question of whether we’ve hit bottom is unclear.

QUESTION: Imagine that someone bought a $450,000 home, the property value fell to $275,000 and the owner was foreclosed. The owner has now saved $35,000 in cash to buy a $100,000 replacement residence but cannot get a loan for the $65,000 balance. With 35 percent down why is financing unavailable?

ANSWER: After a foreclosure borrowers will generally need to wait three to five years before getting a new mortgage — and longer if the foreclosure was a deliberate walkaway. In this case the first lender lost at least $175,000, and the borrower is now regarded as so risky that no lender will accept his or her mortgage application. © CTW Features

Reverse mortgages will help millions of people stay in their homes and pay for a variety of retirement expenses in the coming decades.

Big banks want nothing to do with reverse mortgages.

In one of the stranger developments on the personal finance landscape in recent years, both of these statements turn out to be true. But you’d certainly be forgiven for looking at the headlines from the first half of 2011 and wondering whether reverse mortgages have a future.

First, Bank of America got out of the business of offering new reverse mortgages, which allow people 62 and older to access some of their home equity without having to make any mortgage payments as long as they live in the home full time.

Then, this month, Wells Fargo exited, taking subtle but pointed potshots at its regulator, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, as it said its goodbyes.

HUD does, in fact, intend to continue standing behind reverse mortgages, which might not exist were it not for the government insurance that backs most of these “home equity conversion” loans.

“People certainly shouldn’t be worried,” said Vicki Bott, who was HUD’s deputy assistant secretary for single-family housing until Friday, when she left for

personal reasons.

This is a good thing. Reverse mortgages got a bad rap over the years, and deservedly so, for high fees and aggressive salesmen who persuaded elderly borrowers to extract equity and then drop the money in inappropriate annuities and other insurance products.

But let’s get real here. In the coming decades, millions of people in their 70s and 80s will run out of money. Social Security will be inadequate, they will have no private pensions and they’ll have spent all of their 401(k) savings, if they had any to begin with.

Making a mortgage payment is one of the best forms of forced savings we have. So for people who don’t want to sell their homes and downsize to free up money for living expenses (or can’t, for practical reasons), a reverse mortgage may be their best hope for continued solvency.

“There is an inevitability about the use of it,” said Jeffrey Lewis, the chief executive of the Generation Mortgage Company, one of the biggest remaining independent players in the reverse mortgage industry. “When you add up the savings of this generation, home equity and liquid assets are about the same.”

Even taken together, home equity plus other savings won’t be enough for many people to live on, he added, so at some point plenty of people will have no choice but to tap as much home equity as they can. see next page

The real question is how they will do that— and whether people like Lewis will be able to make any money helping them.

Here’s the strange thing about reverse mortgages: Lenders barely glance at your credit history, as long as you haven’t defaulted on any federal debt. In fact, they’re not supposed to. They basically have to take all comers as long as they have enough equity.

To review, reverse mortgages begin with a lender that is willing to pay you instead of you paying the bank. How much you get depends on your age, prevailing interest rates and the amount of equity you have in your home. The payout may also depend on whether you choose a lump sum, a line of credit, a regular payment for as long as you live or a regular payment for some fixed number of years. There are origination fees, mortgage insurance and many other things to consider, too. HUD’s reverse mortgage Web site, which is quick to warn about frauds, is a good place to start your research.

The lender gets the money back once you move or die and you or your relatives sell the property (or your heirs move in and write the bank a big check).

So why no credit check or other traditional underwriting? Well, the house and its equity stand behind the loan, and borrowers can’t tap all or even most of the equity in many instances anyway. And since they aren’t making payments, credit history seemed irrelevant to those who wrote the HUD rules a few decades ago.

Here’s the catch, though. The one thing you do have to do as a reverse mortgage borrower is agree to keep up with taxes, insurance and maintenance.

If you don’t, foreclosure is a possibility. And in this economic environment, some people are not making their payments.

When Bank of America pulled out of reverse mortgages earlier this year, it mentioned none of this. It simply said it was redirecting its strategic focus.

But the announcement so frightened Torrey Larsen, president of Security One Lending, an independent reverse mortgage company, that he jumped on a plane to meet with a knowledgeable Bank of America executive. “My first fear was, What do they know that I don’t know?” he said.

He came away convinced of two things. First, the business was, as Larsen put it, “budget dust” to Bank of America. It simply wasn’t going to be large enough to make a financial contribution to a bank that big anytime soon.

But he has also learned something else. “Banks are really concerned about their headline risk and brand risk,” he said. “They don’t want to risk their entire franchise by foreclosing on people, let alone on grandma.”

When Wells Fargo made its announcement this month, it noted how falling home prices complicated the question of how much equity to offer to borrowers in the first place. But it also offered thinly veiled

Lamplighter Mobile Home Park Affordable Housing from $23,900 to $69,900!

New & Used Homes

criticism of the fact that HUD was not yet allowing it to do more traditional underwriting. This was odd, given that HUD has made it clear in private conversations with lending executives and in media interviews that it plans to do exactly that very soon.

“I don’t know what HUD is going to do or not going to do,” said Franklin Codel, executive vice president and head of national consumer lending for Wells Fargo. “We didn’t get any clarity from our conversations. We have to make a decision with the information we have at hand.”

Then last week, American Banker, a trade publication, got hold of an e-mail from another senior Wells Fargo executive, Phil Bracken, who discussed concerns that HUD’s rules would effectively force the bank to foreclose on senior citizens. This, he said in the e-mail, created a situation where the reverse mortgage product “creates more reputation risk than value.”

This would all be pretty rich if the underlying see REVERSE page 70

Revealing hidden costs of your 401(k)

BY RON LIEBER NEW YORK TIMES

Your 401(k), 403(b) or other similar plan isn’t free. In fact, it’s probably pretty expensive, costing you tens of thousands of dollars in lost retirement money over the course of your career.

prospect of putting seniors out in the street weren’t so sad. “The idea of reputation risk is such a canard in the hands of these institutions that I don’t even know where to start,” said Lewis of Generation Mortgage. “They took the very interesting strategy of making the government the scapegoat for them deciding to abandon a market that desperately needs them.”

The real question here, however, is who in the market needs the big banks the most — the customers or the giants’ former competitors. Many of the larger remaining players in the reverse mortgage industry have no national brand recognition. They use pitchmen like Henry Winkler, Robert Wagner and Fred Thompson to try to create a degree of comfort among consumer prospects. Having a couple of big banks abandon ship could leave customers questioning the stability of the product and the industry.

Meanwhile, HUD appears to be close to proposing new rules that would allow lenders to do financial assessments of borrowers and reject those who seem as if they may not be

able to pay their property taxes and other costs.

There are a number of potential tools lenders could end up using besides rejecting certain applicants outright. They could set aside some of the lump sum in a sort of emergency fund that they could draw on if borrowers weren’t making tax payments.

Or they could force borderline borrowers to take monthly payments instead of a lump sum and divert part of the payments to an escrow account that the banks could then use to pay insurance companies and tax authorities.

Once this happens, fewer people may end up with reverse mortgages in the short term. But over time — as the baby boomers get further into retirement, as ever-higher percentages of retirees enter old age without a pension and as housing values recover — more people will need to draw on their home equity to pay their living expenses.

All of this is not to say that reverse mortgages are the best income-generating product for retirees. Far from it.

But it will almost certainly become a necessary last resort for a nation full of increasingly strapped older people.

over the long haul.

But there are also various administrative fees that come with a workplace retirement plan, and you usually pay for those, too. It is the rare employer, however, that breaks out those costs for you.

Instead, the costs are embedded in the expenses of many of the mutual funds you pick. In a practice known as revenue sharing, fund companies refund some of the expenses to the service provider running your plan to pay for its administrative costs.

This all seems very tidy at first glance, since neither the employer nor the employee has to write a check each year to pay for running the retirement

plan. But the system tends to disproportionately punish both big savers and people investing in actively managed mutual funds, since people with higher balances and higher expense ratios on their investments end up subsidizing their fellow workers.

At long last, the Labor Department, which oversees 401(k) plans, is forcing everyone involved to confront the hard numbers. Starting next year, it is making investment companies itemize all of the various expenses employers are paying and make the underlying mutual fund costs distinct from administrative ones.

Workers, meanwhile, will get account statements that make their mutual fund fees clearer and will at least learn that revenue sharing is going on.

A tall tree falls Recalling late ski entrepreneur and former selectman Thaddeus Thorne

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Another of the valley's treasured tall trees has fallen.

Thaddeus Thorne, 87, of South Conway — described in his obituary in Friday's paper as a “surveyor, businessman, forester, fisherman, community leader, ski industry pioneer, entrepreneur, and beloved patriarch” — died from natural causes at his home Saturday, June 25, with many members of his large family at his bedside.

Born May 25, 1924, in Pasadena, Calif., Thorne was the eldest child of Harold W. and Margaret Comstock Thorne. He grew up in New Canaan, Conn., and spent his summers on Conway Lake in New Hampshire.

Ironically, Thorne — a former president and general manager of Attitash Ski Area — died just shy of the observances held Friday at Attitash to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the opening of the Alpine Slide, the attraction that he was responsible for bringing to the ski area in summer 1976.

He was also the fund-raising chair for the community effort that led to the building of the Ham Ice Arena in Conway in 1998.

In conversations with many of his friends this week, as well as one of his daughters, the former three-term Conway selectman (1958-1967) and ski area leader see THORNE page 17
