Rivalry is just peachy

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

CLEMSON, S.C. (NY Times) — The South has plenty of rivalries. Auburn and Alabama fight over football dominance. North Carolina and Tennessee battle over barbecue. And then there is Georgia, which is getting kicked to the curb by South Carolina over the fruit that defines its very identity.

For more than 100 years, since Georgia first began shipping peaches beyond its borders, the state has claimed the fruit as its own.

An image of the peach is on the official state quarter and its license plates. In Atlanta, where a giant peach drops from a downtown building each New Year’s Eve, a driver can get lost among all the streets with variations on the name Peachtree.

But here is the harsh truth: South Carolina has shipped out more than twice as many peaches as Georgia so far this summer. And it has been that way for years.

It gets worse. At the end of July, the University of Georgia will officially close its peach program. The head peach horticulturist left the job a couple of years ago. When budgets tightened recently, university officials decided to simply eliminate the position altogether. (Programs for blueberries and vegetables had to go, too.)

And if that was not enough, last week Georgia’s premier peach farmers had to head across the state line to South Carolina for a regional peach conference.

House passes Boehner’s new debt plan

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

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — House Republicans muscled through a revised debt limit plan on a party-line vote Friday night and headed toward a confrontation with the Senate, where Democrats were anxiously awaiting the newly passed measure so they could reject it. President Obama has also threatened to veto it.

About 24 hours after the first Republican proposal backed by Speaker John A. Boehner stalled, the House voted

218 to 210 to approve a plan that would increase the federal debt ceiling in two stages, with the second installment of $1.6 trillion contingent on Congressional approval of a Constitutional amendment requiring a balanced federal budget. The Constitutional amendment provision was added to attract conservatives who balked Thursday.

“To the American people, I would say we tried our level best,” Mr. Boehner said as he

concluded a debate that had been abruptly halted Thursday evening. “We tried to our best for our country but some people still say no.”

No Democrats supported the measure and 22 Republicans opposed it. But it cleared the House after it appeared for a time Thursday night that the Republican leadership had been thwarted in their efforts to send a take-it-or-leave-it offer to the Senate.

3DAYFORECAST

Saturday High: 80 Record: 90 (1990) Sunrise: 5:30 a.m.

The ripest peach is highest on the tree.”

—James Whitcomb Riley

BEIJING (NY Times) — “After all the wind and storm, what’s going on with the high-speed train?” read the prophetic message posted last Saturday evening on the Chinese microblog Sina Weibo. “It’s crawling slower than a snail. I hope nothing happens to it.”

They were a few short sentences, typed by a young girl with the online handle Smm Miao. But five days later, the torrent that followed them was still flooding this nation’s Internet, and lapping at the feet of government bureaucrats, censors and the statecontrolled press.

The train the girl saw, on a track outside Wenzhou in coastal Zhejiang Province, was rammed from behind minutes later, killing 40 people and injuring 191. Since then, China’s two major Twitter-like microblogs — called weibos here — have posted an astounding 26 million messages on the tragedy, including some that have forced embarrassed officials to reverse themselves.

ISTANBUL, Turkey — Turkey’s top military commanders resigned suddenly and simultaneously on Friday in a dramatic signal of deepening tensions between the armed forces and the country’s Islamicrooted government.

The military chief of staff, Isik Kosaner, resigned, as did the heads of the country’s navy, army and air force. The government quickly named an acting military chief of staff to replace Mr. Kosaner, who said he left to protest the imprisonment of dozens of generals and other top commanders as part of an investigation into possible coup attempts.

The requests to retire, spelled

out in letters sent to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan Friday, seemed to signal an attempt to assert what remains of the power of the military, once the most powerful institution in the country, but now greatly diminished.

Mr. Erdogan has rolled back the military’s political power dramatically since he took office in 2002, largely through legal and other reforms. But perhaps the single biggest blow to the military’s clout came in the form of a sprawling series of trials in which a number of senior military commanders are suspects and charged with conspiring to overthrow Mr. Erdogan’s government.

Wildcat gondola summit building to be dismantled

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

PINKHAM NOTCH —The old gondola summit building at Wildcat is slated to be demolished, according to Peak Resorts officials.

After considering all reasonable options, costs and benefits, and working with U.S. Forest Service to understand codes and requirements to renovate the existing summit building that once served as the top-station for the original Wildcat Mountain gondola, Peak Resorts in a press release this week said the company has determined that it would be too costly to renovate the old structure.

The company — which purchased the ski area in October 2010 — says it has decided instead to budget the costs and expense to dismantle and remove the summit building and restore a small, but noticeable, portion of the natural summit.

Wildcat operates on a special use permit from the U.S. Forest Service as it ois located 100 percent on White Mountain National Forest land. The ski area first opened with its then revolutionary gondola in January 1958. The gondola was replaced with the high-speed detachable Wildcat Express summit quad in 1997.

“You have to admire and respect the history and the individuals that built what remains of the original, but long neglected, infrastructure here,” said Wildcat Mountain general manager Josh Boyd. “But, we’re in a different era with extensive building requirements and regulations that the U.S. Forest Service has in place to preserve the natural beauty of the White Mountain National Forest. And I have worked with them to understand and fully study what was possible, but building codes and related costs see WILDCAT page 19

MANCHESTER — “I used to joke that I’m always going to be the girl in contention, but never win this,” Tara Watt said late Thursday afternoon after the final round of the New Hampshire Women’s Golf Association Stater Amateur Championship.

“Here I am — with the trophy,” she said beaming after winning the prize in New Hampshire’s women’s golf by one stroke in a tremendous comefrom-behind victory that required every bit of her golfing wit on the links

at the treacherous Golf Club of New England in Stratham.

Watt, who fired the best round of the day by two strokes Thursday, won with a three round score of 236 (81-7976), edging defending champion Chelsea Demers (Bretwood) by one shot (80-77-80 — 237).

This is Watt’s first State Am victory.

She was fourth — her highest finish — in both 2005 and 2009 and has never finished worst than 15th.

“It’s awesome,” Watt said by phone see WATT page 8

when asked how it felt to be the state champ. “It really is still kind of surreal, I’m not sure it’s totally sunk in yet. I’ve been getting text messages from people I don’t even know congratulating me, plus I’ve got over 20 new Facebook messages.

“Looking at all the newspapers today, there are no pictures of me,” she added. “I guess no one thought I was going to win.”

The Kennett High Sports Hall of Fame member came into Tuesday’s tournament riding high after finishing fourth in the New England Women’s Golf Association (NEWGA) Championship at Shuttle Meadow Country Club in Kensington, Conn., last week.

Watt, 28, a resident of Manchester and playing out of the Derryfield Country Club, had her mom, Trish, of North Conway, as her caddie for all three rounds.

“She was so excited,” Watt said. “My dad (Dave) was there on the last day. … (Laughing) I had to give a speech at the end and had nothing prepared. When I finished my round, I walked off the course and was heading to my car to put my sandals on when I was told I was in a three-way tie for first; I was shocked.”

Watt was four strokes off the lead heading into the final round of play at the Par 72, 5431 yards course. She played in the second to last threesome Thursday and credits playing with Megan Mangone (Windham) and Courtney (Tilley) for providing the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing afternoon on the links.

“I was in a really good group,” she said. “We joked and laughed our way around the course; it was so comfortable. We were back and forth on the front nine, but none of us had any idea what the group behind us was doing.

“I had three three putts on the front nine and was four over for the round at the turn,” Watt continued.

“The back nine there is so hard. I was determined to eliminate any big numbers, I played smart.”

Watt, a self-described long ball hitter, had pondered not even putting her driver in the bag for the tournament this week. At the last minute she had a change of heart, it was a good change.

“I kept it in the bag,” she said, laughing. “I hit every single fairway (Thursday) and missed just three greens. I was on, but just couldn’t putt like I wanted.

“Everyone posted big numbers in this tourna-

ment,” Watt said. “On the first day I took an eight on the 11th hole, a quadruple bogey. The second day I was two under on the front nine and everything was going right until I made the turn. I double (bogeyed) the 10th and ended up playing nine over on the back nine. I took quadruple bogey on the par three 17th and then double bogeyed the 18th. I think I shot see WATT page

Should there be a limit on the number of days a yard sale can be held?

A Conway ordinance, adopted by voters in 1997, limits the number of days that a yard sale can be held. A household is allowed six yard-sale days per year. Randy and Therese Davison, who live on East Main Street near Conway Village, hold an annual neighborhood yard sale 12 days per year. Randy Davison, who is a member of the Conway School Board, says the yard sale has been held for 35 years, and he and his wife have been running it since they moved into their current home about 17 years ago. A dispute with the town over the duration of the yard sale has been going on for several years. The town says that this year, the Davisons used up their allotted six days on July 15. A formal violation notice was issued. The Davisons believe the restriction shouldn’t apply in their case, since the yard sale existed long before the ordinance was adopted.

Off the Wall Some of the comments posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page this past week: On plans by Conway selectmen to form a committee to look at problems on the Saco River, including access by canoe and kayak rental companies.

“Typical example of procrastination and hope people forget about it.” — Brian Savary “Why wouldn’t they form this during the season when the issue is actually happening? That way they could ask questions about what is really happening and get verifiable answers. They could come up with ideas about how to approach a problem that is still active and not just next year’s projections. This is like taking a traffic survey on a gray Tuesday in November and saying it is working on the summer traffic. Observe, formulate, initiate, evaluate. Repeat as needed!” — Brian Gillette “Well, I am also a bit cynical. I am pretty sure the town of Conway does not own the Saco River. I expect they may have some leeway on the portion that runs through our town in respect to New Hampshire companies that use the river. Similar to the enforcement efforts we have all seen in Fryeburg. Seems a logical place to start: special part-time river-runner officers, attack boats with machine guns and armor plating.” — David Robinson “Maybe they should form a committee to decide who should be on the committee to address concerns about the Saco. Maybe even have a committee to vote on a committee who will then form a committee?” — Shawn Nadeau On why there is a high number of repeat inmates at Carroll County Jail: “Well, I’ll bet part of the attraction is now MP3 players and free email. Not to mention free health care, education, etc. See, I thought the idea was jail was supposed to be a place you didn’t want to go. It’s turning into quite the country club.” — Laurie Savoy “Turn it back into a working farm and we’ll see how

many return.” — John Levesque “Maybe they shouldn’t have been let out in the first place?” — Trish Marie Hall “It’s a lot cheaper than paying rent, and they have three meals provided a day, a bed, bathrooms and it’s made very comfortable for them.” — Pamela Dickinson “Because this country is backwards. We charge our good elderly citizens a lot of money for care while the guilty criminal gets free health care? There’s something not right about that, wouldn’t you say!” — Brian Clarke “I’ve read that over 80 percent of the people in New Hampshire jails have some involvement with alcohol/ drugs in the commission of their crime. We also use jail in lieu of a proper treatment system for the mentally ill.

Treatment is always more cost effective than jail, but in N.H. we prefer to pay the pound of cure at every opportunity.” — Susan Bruce “If we think it’s bad now, wait until the real impact of the recent cuts to community health centers, family planning, education and mental health hit our communities — all connected to increased incarceration rates.

Those of us on the front line have been seeing the impact already on a daily basis. Those of you a few steps away from the front line or standing on the more conservative side advocating these cuts literally ain’t seen nothin’ yet with respect to cost and outcomes. I have some ideas that involve taking what we know about the human brain and the subconscious mind and using that to break through self-limiting beliefs to connect individuals to their best, innate selves. We are one, we are all connected, we are not us vs. them. What we do to another we do to ourselves. Until we accept that as our foundation and apply it to our systems, I’m afraid this is as good as it will get.” — Trisha Jacobson On the Saco River cleanup efforts undertaken by a group of boys from Camp Owatonna in Harrison, Maine.

“Those kids rock!” — Gregg Anderton

SCREENED LOAM

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

The Politics of the Impossible Memo to Washington: You have no idea how bad you look right now.

And another thing: No one will emerge as a winner from this debt-ceiling debate and debacle.

Not the president, who sought to grab the high ground of compromise last week by portraying his plan as "shared sacrifice" and who sought to take a populist profile by describing the debt-ceiling crisis as one manufactured by Washington.

Not the House speaker, who is visibly pained by the pressures he is feeling from both old guard and tea party Republicans, and who sought refuge last week in criticizing the president as intransigent.

Not the House freshmen, who in hewing to principle are at odds with the principles of the American system.

Not the liberal fire-eaters, who in seeking to preserve entitlement programs exactly as they are written today refuse to see that those very programs have changed as the nation's prosperity and priorities have changed.

Everyone knows this standoff is one of the signature tests of the time — more significant than the government shutdown of 1995, which occurred in peacetime and during relative prosperity.

Everyone knows that the truth laid bare in this festival of folly isn't that Americans are unwilling to pay the costs of their lifestyle, but that the political class is unwilling to serve the broad interests of the majority of Americans who sent their representatives to the capital to do the nation's business, not to engage in rhetorical and economic funny business.

Everyone knows that the president and Congress have diminished themselves in the public's eye and around the world.

At the heart of this display of self-righteousness and selfishness is a series of misperceptions by people who, sadly, pride themselves on being accurate gauges of the public's interests, if not always the public interest.

The Washington drama is, in fact, superb drama.

At the center are two relatively new faces, Barack Obama and John Boehner, and a new political force, the tea party, and together they're in one of history's high noons. One side believes desperately that it is guarding the interests of the poor and the vulnerable. The other side believes just as devoutly that it is standing on the ramparts of freedom and guarding the integrity of the economy. They both stand at the extremes and speak of their concern for the middle.

These are big personalities vying for advantage in a struggle with big stakes. But while these leaders say they are thinking big, they are not acting big. And the spectacle that has played out the past several weeks in Washington has served to underline not the power of the two parties' viziers but the weaknesses of them.

Historians likely will look back on this crisis with wonder, asking how the two parties could have fiddled with public opinion while Washington's reputation, and bond rating, smoldered. They may conclude that this sorry episode was the manifestation and not the cause of the rot at the heart of the political system in this period. They will argue that the exhausting swings in public sentiment — a deeply conservative president from Texas repu-

diated by a liberal president from Illinois, who himself was repudiated by a grass-roots rebellion with tea leaves in its DNA — doesn't show a public unwilling to make up its mind, but instead displays an electorate unhappy with everybody and willing to punish anybody who is in office. It is not Democrats who won in 2008 and Republicans who prevailed in 2010, but incumbents who lost in both.

The clash of Summer 2011 is largely the result of twin factors: Obama believed in 2009 he had a mandate for his own ideas, rather than understanding he was the beneficiary of public impatience with George W. Bush. Boehner may not have believed this winter that the public had given a mandate to the tea party rebels, but he felt the survival of his speakership required him to act as if he did, even if the GOP victory of 2010 came largely because the Republicans were lucky enough to be out of office when the public rebellion flared again.

The two questions for our time — two questions that cannot be answered by politicians or journalists but rather are left to historians and political scientists — are these: * Why did the Republicans' loss in 2008 strengthen them while the Democrats' victory weakened them? * Given that both Obama and the tea partiers triumphed on the strength of being seen as departures from an unresponsive political establishment, why could they not convert their visions into mainstream popularity, or even unite their own parties?

Of course, it is perfectly plausible that the fault, to reverse the Cassius calculus from Julius Caesar, is not in themselves but in their stars.

These political players — Obama, Boehner, the tea partiers — came of age at a time when the velocity and passions of the new media of the 21st century were completely out of synch with the leisurely, deliberative institutions of a political system created with the Enlightenment values of the 18th century, before "friend" was a verb and when people of the president's race were counted as three-fifths of a person. Their ascendancy coincided with, and was the result of, the ascendancy of well-funded interest groups that bolster their treasuries by ever more aggressive appeals to the extremes. They are politicians who cannot afford to alienate the groups that support them but which foster political division.

More than 170 years ago Richard Henry Dana Jr. embarked on a great sea voyage he chronicled in "Two Years Before the Mast." At one point he looked at this country of vast riches and wondered if it possessed men worthy of them. "In the hands of an enterprising people," he wrote, "what a country this might be!"

In all times, but especially this fraught time, political genius consists in repudiating Bismarck's view that politics is the art of the possible. It is in finding a way to expand the notion of what is possible. If the political class can figure out how to do that, what a country this might be.

Thanks for involvement in Saco River Sit-In To the editor: I want to thank a number of people for their involvement in the Saco River Sit-In last weekend: Bob Bernier and the North Conway Water Precinct for allowing the canoe companies to unload on the south side of First Bridge for the balance of the season; Conway Selectmen for supporting our efforts and for their continued dialogue with the canoe companies to resolve the access issue; Tom Eastman and Erik Eisele for their coverage and sensible reporting; those who joined our efforts at civil disobedience on Saturday morning; and the

many people who responded via Tele-Talk or Facebook to air their opinions.

I was pleased to see that the vast majority of people understood that this was not anti-tourism, anti-canoe companies, or anything other than a way to draw attention to what was obviously an issue that needed to be addressed.

The fact that the additional issue of litter along the banks of the Saco was raised in the process can only be a good thing, as we all have a vested interest in maintaining the natural beauty of Mt. Washington Valley.

Time for Rep. Guinta to show leadership To the editor: An open letter to Rep. Frank Guinta: The majority of your constituents are middle class, working poor, and elderly who have neither the money nor the energy to be actively involved in influencing government. They are, however, paying the price for your actions which support the interests of the alreadywealthy minority.

I believe that we all are our brothers’ keepers, and in this unprecedented time of hardship, those who have consistently profited so well from the tax cuts, while most of America has stagnated, should be allowed, as fellow-patriots, to share in the solution of our nation’s debt. I understand the concept of “job

creators,” but if the tax cuts for them have not created the jobs expected, it should make sense to all of us to end the experiment.

Intelligent people are always willing to reconsider choices made in the past.

If you are truly concerned with our nation’s deficit, you will revisit your commitment to protecting the exponential growth of the wealth of the very few while most Americans are paying for it.

You now have an opportunity to protect the real interest of the majority of your people rather than blindly adhering to talking points, slogans, and pledges.

This is a time for you to show leadership. We are relying on you.

Rebuilding the Tuckerman Ravine Trail

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

MOUNT WASHINGTON — Most hikers don’t ever think about it, but trails through the mountains don’t build themselves. They have to be chopped, chipped, cut and carved out of the landscape, and from the moment they get cleared nature fights to crawl back in and overrun them. Sometimes nature wins.

But sometimes the hikers fight back.

“Look at these rocks, completely buried and grown over,” said David Salisbury, the White Mountain trails supervisor for the Appalachian Mountain Club, pointing at stone steps marching up the Tuckerman Ravine headwall a trail crew dug out from under a patch alders.

“It’s funny, we’re sort of discovering old relics here.”

But they’re not only discovering old relics, they’re building new ones.

The Tuckerman Ravine trail is

“Look at these rocks, completely buried and grown over. It’s funny, we’re sort of discovering old relics here.” one of the most popular trails in the White Mountains. It leads 4.2 miles from the parking lot at Pinkham Notch to the summit of Mount Washington, passing pine forests, stunted krumholtz, alpine tundra and talus of the summit cone, traversing the famed Tuckerman Ravine headwall along the way. It climbs 4,250 feet from notch to summit and varies from a single-lane forest road to an exposed goat path.

This year, for the first time in decades, the most precarious section is getting rebuilt and rehabbed, reclaimed from the wild. see next page

“We’ll clean this up and make it even more bombproof,” Salisbury said, this time pointing at a section that had been cut back into the hillside, away from a 50-foot drop. “Instantly it’s better and safer and more stable.”

The work is anything but easy, however. The four-man trail crew tackling this section spends nights at Hermit Lake and hikes into the bowl each morning. The crew members bring pry bars, Hilti hammer drills, grip hoist winches (“a real key to trail work for us,” according to Salisbury) and pick-axes up on the mountain to help them transform exposed slopes into pleasant paths, but much of the work is done with their hands.

“Usually we don’t use all this

“We’ll clean this up and make it even more bombproof.

Instantly it’s better and safer and more stable.” equipment,” Salisbury said.

“This is a special occasion.”

On the Tuckerman headwall, he said, if boulders start tumbling there won’t be anything to stop them from strafing sections of trail below. “The potential is there,” he said, so they closed the trail from Hermit Lake shelters to the top of the headwall.

“It’s so nice to work on a closed trail,” he said. Usually hikers go around the crew, but in the ravine there’s no space. “The potential here is much higher for disaster.” see TUCKERMAN page 17

TUCKERMAN from page 15

The four men on the crew, however, all in their early 20s, have no trouble working through the exposure. Each wears a uniform of Limmer boots, blue Dickies, a yellow hard hat and no shirt. They refer to each other by nicknames reserved for the woods: Tubes, Iceman, Weezy and Pie. They pull rocks from the hillside to create steps, drill holes through them to pin them in place, and winch them up steep slopes to spots otherwise too steep to tread.

The team has a trail to build and four weeks to build it — they’re out there rain or shine.

“Another day in hell, huh?” Salisbury asked Tubes, or Jeff Amari in urban life.

“This is heaven,” he said, and he struggled with a rock the size of a grocery basket.

Lower down, Mike Saucier (Pie) and Nico Azel (Weezy) pull another rock out of the underbrush to use as a step higher up. One of them mans the winch while the other guides the stone, which looks like it could weigh 300 pounds.

It gets hung up on another rock, and Salisbury goes down to help.

He winches while Weezy and Pie put their shoulders into pry bars.

The work is slow and physical, but within a few minutes the stone is in place.

“A lot of work for a second of use,” Salisbury said, now covered in sweat. “It’s a job you want to be in your prime for. I couldn’t do it

anymore everyday. I like to come and watch though.”

“This is definitely the crux of what they are doing,” he said, pointing to the section with the steps. When they are finished they will bypass a rotten gully that is slowly eroding away.

Salisbury explains what the crew is doing, but the team never pauses from its work.

And what do they get for a day of their physical labor?

“Minimum wage,” Weezy said with a smile.

“They do get room and board,” Salisbury said. "Of course they’ve got to carry it all the time.”

The crew’s contribution, however, helps preserve this and other trails throughout the White Mountains.

“It’s difficult to keep up,” Salisbury said. “That’s a typical story in trail maintenance: We can’t keep up.”

But solid construction endures, he said. “There’s a lot of old work on that trail, some of it really, really good.”

The section should be opened up by middle or late August. Until then, AMC officials are recommending people use the Lions Head Trail or the Boot Spur Trail to access the summit from the east.

In the meantime, Tubes, Iceman, Weezy and Pie will continue chopping away at the mountainside, reclaiming it for the hikers.

“We’re trying to control everything,” Salisbury said. If they do a good job, “it could last indefinitely.”

Part of me went with you, the day God called you home.

A million times I’ve thought of you, a million tears I’ve cried.

If loving could have saved you, you never would have died.

But God broke my heart to prove to me He only takes the best.

Forgive me Lord but I will always weep, for the son I loved but could not keep.

Shawn, I hear your laughter in every sound, see your face in every face of your family and friends, and feel you in every hug I get. Missing you beyond belief!

Selectmen to form Saco River committee

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Selectmen are forming a committee to study how swimmers and canoe rental companies can coexist on the Saco River.

Some residents say canoe rental companies have been crowding them out of a popular swimming spot on the Saco River called First Bridge.

would require us to rebuild the building almost entirely.”

Boyd said the plan now it to “remove the structure next spring, restore a bit of the natural beauty at the summit, but leave a defined footprint that may allow the U.S. Forest Service to permit a building in the foreseeable future, and to allocate any immediate capital expenses to other more pressing improvements here at Wildcat.”

Boyd went on to say that an expense of this proportion to create a minor profit center that may never fully see a break-even return to simply even operate season-to-season, is “just the type of thing that challenges any ski area owner or operator to have to consider increasing the price of lift tickets and season passes.”

The White Mountain National Forest is consulting with the N.H. State Historic Preservation Office to ensure that the historic building is thoroughly documented and that its

The issue came to a head this year because the North Conway Water Precinct had a construction project that moved the rental companies out of their usual launching spot on First Bridge and onto the beach. see RIVER page 20

history is recorded before demolition, according to Boyd, who was hired as Wildcat's general manager at the end of the past season.

He is the son of Tim Boyd of Peak Resorts. Peak Resorts also owns nearby Attitash Mountain Resort.

Boyd said the Mount Washington Observatory has already taken immediate action to relocate their summit web cam and Wildcat Mountain has worked to provide an alternate location. Known for its legendary views of neighboring Mount Washington and Tuckerman Ravine, Wildcat Mountain is host to one of many summit cams that the Mount Washington Observatory website shares with its members and general public.

In addition to the ZipRider and highest scenic gondola in New Hampshire, Wildcat Mountain offers hiking, fishing, and a lift-serviced 9-hole alpine disc golf course. For further information, visit skiwildcat.com or call 1-888-SKI-WILD.

"Issues addressed will include access, facility needs, traffic control, permitted uses, and general site management," states the town's ad for the committee. "After considering the issues, the committee will provide recommendations to the board of selectmen."

Town manager Earl Sires suggested the committee could be made up of: two selectmen, a canoe livery representative, a conservation commission member, someone from the North Conway Water Precinct, and a couple people from the general public.

Selectmen will be advertising the positions.

Planning board member Steven Hartmann sat through most of the three-hour meeting to volunteer.

Selectmen instructed Hartmann to leave his name and address with their administrative assistant.

Selectman Larry Martin had to leave the meeting early. On this way out the door, Martin said he didn't want to be appointed to the Hussey Field/First Bridge committee.

Considering presidential run, Governor Pataki lambastes President Obama over the debt crisis

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

MANCHESTER — Former New York Governor George Pataki is "seriously considering" throwing his Republican hat into the crowded presidential field. He was in the Granite State Thursday talking about something he believes the other Republican candidates are not giving nearly enough attention to — the debt ceiling crisis.

Democrats and Republicans are locked into a dangerous game of seeing who will crack first over the national debt crisis. If Congress fails to raise the current $14.3 trillion debt ceiling by Tuesday, Aug. 2, Americans could face rising interest rates and a declining dollar, among other problems.

As the cost of borrowing rises, individual mortgages, car loans and student loans could become significantly more expensive. Some financial experts have warned of a downgrade of America's triple-A credit rating and a potential stock market plunge.

“This really impacts the entire future of our country,” Pataki, who served as governor for New York for four terms from 1995 through 2006, said by phone Thursday morning in an exclusive with The Conway Daily Sun. "What's happening now is awful for all of us. We need to come up with a long-term debt solution. This has to be on the minds of every American."

Pataki, who was making his third trip to New Hampshire since June, was at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College in Manchester to host a discussion with community and business leaders about the debt crisis and the debt limit . He was also scheduled meet with former New Hampshire Governor John H. Sununu, past chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party, later in the day.

"I'm certainly thinking about it," Pataki said when asked about a presidential run. "I know I have to make up my mind soon and will."

Rather than his own possible candidacy, Pataki wanted to talk about the debt crisis and pulled no punches putting the blame primarily on President Obama's shoulders.

"We have a president who in two and half years has increased our deficit by $4 trillion," Pataki said. "There have been plans offered and President Obama has done nothing but demagoguery through the whole process.

I'm as frustrated as anybody with the lack of progress being made. This president is wonderful at going on television and criticizing the plans, but has not offered one plan of his own. He insists that any plan go beyond next November (the presidential election) — he's not looking see next page

out for America's future but his own self-interest."

A few plans have been thrown onto the table, but none seem to appeal to both parties. They have included a plan submitted by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). The Boehner Plan raises the debt ceiling now by about $900 billion and passes cuts of $1.2 trillion. It would call for a second vote when the extension runs out next year. Supporters say this plan is a long-term solution and sets up extending the debt ceiling through the 2012 election. Opponents say it sets up another potential fiscal crisis just months from now.

"I wish it was more of a long-term solution than a short fix," Pataki said on the Boehner Plan, "but we need to do something."

A Cut, Cap and Balance Plan was approved by the House but killed by the Senate in a 51-46 vote last Friday.

It would have raised the debt ceiling if Congress cut discretionary spending by $111 billion next year.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) has offered his own debt ceiling plan which calls for nearly $2.2 trillion in spending cuts over the next decade while raising the debt limit by $2.7 trillion, enough to fund the government through next year's election.

Republican opponents say the cuts aren't enough, though Democratic supporters argue it removes the sticking point over revenues.

President Obama has been seeking a compromise plan billed as more of a set of principles than a specific plan that would reduce the deficit over the next 10 to 12 years by roughly $4 trillion. Supporters say cuts like these will hurt but are necessary. Oppo-

nents say no such deal would ever get the votes to pass.

"I'm hoping the president can put aside his partisanship and support the Boehner bill," Pataki said. "In my opinion, the bill doesn't go far enough (in terms of financial cuts). When we talk about about balancing the budget, the only way to do that is to reduce spending and that's got to be done in trillions not billions (of dollars). The solutions are there, but the Republicans have been the only ones to try to advance the solutions so far."

Pataki believes a solution will be reached by Tuesday.

"I'm by nature an optimist," he said.

"To default and not pay our bills is wrong by nature, it sends the wrong message.

I think President Obama despite his demagoguery will realize that."

Sounding a lot like a presidential candidate, Pataki took a moment to talk about the economy and the need to get Americans working again.

"We need to do more for small businesses, and that means tax (incentives) to grow the job market and we need to keep businesses from going overseas," he said. "When I was in office (as governor of New York), I came in to a $5 billion deficit. When I left (eight years later), we had over a $3 billion surplus.

We were able to reduce state government and cut spending."

Pataki praised the New Hampshire legislature for its steps to reduce the budget this past spring. "New Hampshire has shown that it's able to make the tough decisions," he said."

Governor Pataki said he has future visits to New Hampshire planned and would like to come to Conway, a place he's been before.

"It's a beautiful area," he said. "I have a farm on Lake Champlain that's very similar to Conway."

Soaking in the atmosphere of pond life Hiking ––––– Ed Parsons

This week I got out once with friend Carl, who is vacationing in the valley with his wife for a couple weeks.

We have been hiking together for 16 years.

Carl loves seeing the many forms of water on a hike, perhaps more than a good view.

We hiked into Shingle Pond, located on the east side of Mount Kearsarge North.

After a 3.1 mile gentle hike up the Weeks Brook Trail from Chatham, we arrived at a good lookout on the east shore of this roundish lily pad covered pond. Two beaver lodges poked see next page

out of a wide swath of leaver leaf that ringed the shore. Striking and artistic dead trees, killed by rising water, rose out of the leather leaf — proof of the eternal ability of beaver to alter the landscape by dam building and improvement. Straight ahead to the west, the view of the nearby summit of Mount Kearsage, with its historical fire tower, was striking.

In the typical fashion when I go hiking with Carl to such a place, we lingered for about an hour and a half, soaking in the fecund atmosphere of pond life, and the edge effect where water and forest meet.

Where the trail continued along the north shore of the pond, there were some really nice spots to linger overlooking the water.

To get to the sparsely used Weeks Brook Trail, we drove over Hurricane Mountain Road from Intervale, took a left on Green Hill Road, and in only 0.4 miles, turned left at the hiker sign onto a dirt forest service road, where we drove only a tenth of

a mile in to the parking space.

If you are looking for a long quiet trek, first on grassy logging roads and then through attractive old growth stands of evergreens, the lower Weeks Brook Trail could be the one.

After reaching the pond in 3.1 miles, the Weeks Brook Trail continues another 2 miles up much steeper terrain to the summit of Mount Kearsarge North (3268 feet), where the historical fire tower is an inviting place to take shelter and enjoy the 360 degree view (the 3.1 mile Mount Kearsarge North Trail, which starts on the west side of Hurricane Mountain Road, is the “trade route” up the mountain, and easily reached from North Conway).

When I once did the entire 5.1 mile Weeks Brook Trail to the summit, Shingle Pond was but an attractive place to briefly pause. I was definitely in “headed” mode.

But this time, the pond — with its water lilies, croaking frogs, and shady spots to linger, was our destination.

diverse natural history. Being aware of the natural world motivates us to always learn more and become better earth citizens.

In 2005, researchers across the country gathered at a workshop then to establish a nationwide network of phenological studies, as Vanessa Jones reported in this March’s issue of Conservation Notes.

The resulting USA National Phenology Network is a collaborative framework of agencies, education institutions, nongovernmental organizations such as New Hampshire Audubon, citizen volunteers, and many others. She wrote that the Network establishes protocols for monitoring various “phenophases”, such as when the first flowers and leaves appear on a lilac, and also provides a web site to record your data. The monitoring would focus on a wide range of plant and animal species and participants of all ages and backgrounds would be included.

Sounds like a good enterprise to join up with.

As for myself, I live to see spring arrive and observe whatever summer will bring to us, registering the arrival of bird migrants and enjoying their northerly direction’s progress to traditional breeding grounds. New Hampshire see COUNTRY ECOLOGY page 27

D eck O p en!

From Memorial Day to the last of June the Saco is a fishermen’s paradise. However, as soon as school is out and the crowds descend upon the river we are regulated to a few hours on the river in the morning and a few in the evening. We regularly tell people to avoid the river at all costs from 9:30 a.m. in the morning till at least 7 a.m. in the evening. If you are fishing below First Bridge in the morning, shortly after 9 a.m. the first flotilla will pass by followed by a steady stream for the rest of the day. There was a time when this could be avoided by fishing upstream of First Bridge, but now parties are launched at Humphrey’s Ledge and even further upriver.

I should point out that my son worked for one of the original canoe liveries when he was in college. He drove one of the shuttle trucks and helped parties launch at First Bridge.

Last summer I had an encounter with one of the shuttle drivers who blocked my truck in while he picked up a party of canoeists. He seemed to feel that he owned the parking area and treated me with total disregard. Having no desire for a confrontation I waited him out. When he left he never looked at me and needless to say never thanked me for my patience. I sincerely hope that my son behaved better during his tenure as a shuttle driver.

Swimmers are no less a part of the problem. The number of people using the First Bridge area as a swimming beech has grown in the last few years, way beyond its capacity. People now park from the railroad overpass above First Bridge down to as far as Westside Road. The First Bridge area has become a town beech without any

regulation. I would wager that almost as much alcohol is consumed here as by the canoe parties. With only one out house, in the parking area makes one question the water quality in this part of the river. There is just as much trash left at First Bridge by swimmers as there is along the river by the canoe parties and neither group does a very good job of policing themselves.

Jumping off First Bridge is a must for locals as well as visiting tourists. I heard that not long ago a wedding party jumped off the bridge. The bride wore her wedding dress and groom and groomsmen were dressed in their tuxes. Sound like the perfect wedding photo-opt. The two rope swings, up and down river from the bridge, are great attractions as well.

The river has become an amusement park that out draws Story Land.

I am well aware that this makes me sound like an old curmudgeon and perhaps I am. Truth is I am not against people having fun and enjoying the river; I only wish that all parties would have more respect for the river.

What concerns me the most is how the town is going to handle the problems that are only going to get worse as time goes by? For the most part the town has ignored the problem, but now that the issue has been raised, how is it going to react. There is already a call for exclusionism from some local people. Should the area be closed to all but town residents and a window sticker be issued as proof of residency?

Will stickers be issued to nonresident taxpayers or will they be excluded?

And of most importance, where will we anglers fit into the equation?

experiences many species just passing through and I like to think I know what they are about then, and what habitat needs they are professing. Our neo-tropical migrants move up into the far reaches of Canada for nesting in the boreal forest that remains so extensive up there. We may see a sparrow or warbler that will only visit us for less than a week as it determinably flies to its specific territory in the spruce-fir forest to raise its young. Or perhaps to the tundra north of the Arctic circle. Increased awareness of any bird’s protocol adds to our pleasure of admiring and respecting them, while they are appear enroute

either way.

July is almost anticlimactic as most reproductive activity is finishing up, and whatever benefits that have been accrued from the environment are now beyond the mid-cycle of this reality. We can start to anticipate the seasonal results while hoping that things have gone well for wild birds and mammals. Plantlife will show its various successes all the way up to fall foliage season, and we will know then what seed crops have been produced, or which hard mast such as acorns and beechnuts will become available. Whatever went on will become quite evident as birdlife passes through us to wintering grounds in the Caribbean or the mountainous

slopes of the Andes in Ecuador, or perhaps Central American jungles.

That’s what folks seeing me sitting out on my stoops evenings, know I am thinking about and observing with all that I can bring to this effort.

Hope you will join me wherever your favorite perch is, becoming still and immersing oneself in our natural world.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It is neither fair nor healthy to condemn one small part of you as unsatisfactory.

You are not made up of disparate bits and pieces. Every part of you serves a purpose in creating the whole beautiful picture.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

It’s about time you were spoiled rotten.

And if there is no one around to do something nice for you, make sure to do something nice for yourself. The rest of the world will catch on soon enough!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You know how to command an audience.

When you really want to get someone’s attention, you do it without much effort.

However, just now, you may prefer to go “under the radar.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You won’t automatically give your trust. You are wise to observe how a person interacts with the world. Judging by what you see, you accurately predict how he or she will interact with you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You like knowing that you have caused others to be pleasantly surprised. That is why you don’t always say what you are up to. You delight in watching the other person’s moment of discovery.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 30).

You trust yourself and will blaze a path instead of following the well-worn road of those before you. Someone will become more and more attached to you through the next 10 weeks. You will do something to commemorate your bond in December. The financial situation improves after you rework it in September. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 13, 30, 9 and 49.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Pretending is fun, especially when everyone understands that you are playing a game and agrees to the same set of rules. If not, your pretending could land you in a bit of trouble.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Someone will be favorably impressed by you.

All you have to do to remain in favor is refrain from negating this impression by uttering words of self-deprecation or deflection.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don’t care a bit how someone measures up on paper; you are headed for a paperless existence. It’s more “green” to feel your way through, measuring with your instincts.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Don’t worry about being modest now. Put your best qualities in the most flattering light, and let others think what they think -- you can’t stop them anyway.

Believe in your talents, and others will, too.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The voices of dissent are still part of your mental soundscape. They have a purpose in keeping you safe and grounded. You wouldn’t want them to leave entirely, though you should encourage them to pipe down.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The reason you will dress well just to go to the grocery store is that you know you will feel more confident for making the effort. What you wear is less important than how you feel while you are wearing it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can’t talk anyone into wanting what he or she doesn’t want. But you can entice your target to feel as strongly as you do that you hold the solution for a most vexing problem.

Yesterday’s Answer

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, July 30, 2011— Page 33

Today is Saturday, July 30, the 211th day of 2011. There are 154 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 30, 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a measure making “In God We Trust” the national motto, replacing “E Pluribus Unum” (“Out of many, one”).

On this date: In 1619, the first representative assembly in America convened in Jamestown in the Virginia Colony.

In 1729, Baltimore, Md. was founded.

In 1864, during the Civil War, Union forces tried to take Petersburg, Va., by exploding a gunpowder-filled mine under Confederate defense lines; the attack failed.

In 1918, poet Joyce Kilmer, a sergeant in the 165th U.S. Infantry Regiment, was killed during the Second Battle of the Marne in World War I. (Kilmer is perhaps best remembered for his poem “Trees.”)

In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a bill creating a women’s auxiliary agency in the Navy known as “Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service” — WAVES for short.

In 1945, the Portland class heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine during World War II; only 316 out of some 1,200 men survived.

In 1975, former Teamsters union president Jimmy Hoffa disappeared in suburban Detroit; although presumed dead, his remains have never been found.

In 1980, Israel’s Knesset passed a law reaffirming all of Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state.

One year ago: President Barack Obama toured Chrysler and General Motors assembly plants, where he offered an upbeat assessment of the U.S. auto industry a year after the big government bailouts.

Today’s Birthdays: Actor Richard Johnson is 84. Actor Edd “Kookie” Byrnes is 78.

Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig is 77. Blues musician Buddy Guy is 75. Movie director Peter Bogdanovich is 72. Singer Paul Anka is 70. Jazz musician David Sanborn is 66. Blues singer-musician Otis Taylor is 63. Actor Frank Stallone is 61.

Actor Terry Crews is 43. Actor Simon Baker is 42. Movie director Christopher Nolan is 41.

by Abigail Van Buren

CHILDHOOD ASSAULTS CONTINUE TO HAUNT HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 17-year-old female senior in high school. I was coerced into sex when I was 12 by a 19-year-old neighbor. He raped, molested and beat me repeatedly for two months. I come from a religious family. I was very sheltered and didn’t understand most of what was happening at the time. It wasn’t until I had Sex Ed that year that I fully understood. Mom had always told me not to let anyone touch me because it was dirty and wrong. I felt guilty because I knew “something” was wrong. When I told my neighbor about the guilt, he taught me how to cut myself using a razor blade. I never told my family (or anyone else, for that matter) about what had happened to me, and I continued cutting until last year when my mom found out. I have been in and out of counseling since then.

I have horrible nightmares nearly every night. I relive memories of him beating me, molesting me and raping me.

The nightmares are getting worse, and I’m falling asleep during the daytime. I don’t know how to make them stop. Abby, can you help me? -- NIGHTMARES IN WICHITA, KAN. DEAR NIGHTMARES: None of what happened was your fault. You were a child and that neighbor was an adult who took advantage of your youth and inexperience. The feelings you’re experiencing are not unusual for rape victims -- fear, anger, shame, guilt, loss of power and isolation.

If you will make a police report, it will help you to regain a sense of control. It may also prevent other children from being victimized by this monster. If possible, ask to talk with a female police officer -- although many police departments provide special training to all their officers so victims are

treated in a sensitive and caring manner.

Being able to give voice to your feelings will go a long way toward making your nightmares go away. It will help you immensely if you’ll talk with a professional counselor at a rape treatment center or crisis center. For you, that would be the Wichita Area Sexual Assault Center. Its 24-hour toll-free number (for Kansas residents only) is (877) 927-2248. The website is www.wichitasac.com. Please don’t wait. People there will help you if you’ll give them a chance.

DEAR ABBY: My father passed away a few months ago and something has been bothering me ever since his funeral.

Some of my co-workers attended the viewing and the service.

I do not care for any of them and I believe they showed up because they were nosy about my personal business. I share none of it with them in the office.

Now my mother is very ill. I don’t know how I’ll handle it if these people show up at my mother’s eventual service. I think this is an invasion of my and my family’s privacy, and I get sick to my stomach at the thought of them coming.

Is there anything I can do or say to let them know they’re not welcome? One woman regularly attends funerals for people she doesn’t know. -- PRIVATE PERSON, ONTARIO, CANADA DEAR PRIVATE: Yes, there is something you can do.

When the notice of your mother’s death is published in the newspaper, it should be stated that her funeral service will be private. The time and place should not be mentioned, and should be communicated verbally only to those you would like to attend.

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

White Mountains Cultural Festival is looking for artists At the selectmen’s meeting on Wednesday, a building permit was issued for the Wanalancet area. Also, sheriff’s deputy Michael Santucci was in to advise the selectmen that patrols will be increased through the month of August. The selectmen are also discussing lowering the speed limit in residential areas to 25 miles per hour. Additionally, the room in town hall set aside for the Sheriff’s use will be a satalite office once the computers are hooked up to Ossipee.

Peter Carboni was in to discuss his proposal for code enforcement in the town. He will write up his plan and present it to the selectmen. The

selectmen have reached an agreement with the owners of a property on Easy Street to have them clean it up and bring it into compliance. The town hall has a new face lift. A new entrance to the hall has built. Not only does it improve the looks of the building, it will make the hall much warmer this winter.

The annual Albany picnic at the Colbath Barn was held last Saturday.

a superb job and got big thanks from the crowd. There was good food, fun for all, and a great raffle.

Among the items raffled off were several blankets donated

by Ragged Mountain, T-shirts, barbecue and garden tools from Profile Motors, entry tickets for Story Land, maple syrup from Zebs, and lots of dining coupons from a variety of eateries: Almost There, Darby Field Inn, Bea’s Cafe, Lobster Trap, China Chef, Cafe Noche, Inn at Thornhill, Up Country Restaurant, and Bellini’s. Though there were fewer people this year, probably due to the extreme weather we’ve had, about 60 or so residents turned up. Because of the lower turnout this year, Jack Rose would love to hear from residents regarding what they think should be done to make this event a blockbuster next year.

The White Mountains Cultural Festival is looking for artists of all kinds to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Weeks Act. Artist, craftspeople, musicians, dancers, writers and poets are needed for a variety of programs.

Welcome to new residents Paul and Linda Brown who have moved into the Hammond house after making renovations there.

Steve and Sara Knox had a great family reunion on July 16 and 17 at the Knox homestead on Pasaconaway Road. People came from California, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, upper New York, Massachusettes, Maine, Vermont, and of course, New Hampshire. With just a few exceptions, those attending were offsprings of Steve’s paternal grandparents. His father was one of eight children, who with only one exception all lived in the town they grew up in. It was the next generation of cousins that scattered to the winds.

Bringing together family who, in many cases had never met, made them all realize that family does matter. After all the festivities were over, the feeling was that waiting another thirty years to do it again (the last family reunion was in 1981) was not a good idea. The excitement of the event carries on at their Facebook page that has been loaded with pictures and comments for the past week.

Among the New Hampshire family attending was Brenda Carrier. Her great grandfather Phineas Hammond married Mary Knox. She can also trace her heritage back to William Penn.

Stan and I have returned from a lovely cruise on the Queen Victoria. We sailed out of Southampton, England through the straits of Gibraltar and into the Mediterranean, stopping at ports leading to Barcelona, Spain, Cannes, France, Pisa, Italy, and Gibraltar. As great as it was, it’s good to be home.

Enjoy this beautiful weather we’ve been having and have a great week.

34-45 (on the front and back nines, respectively). The course is built on old farm land and every hole has hazards.”

Thursday, on the back nine, Watt managed her game well. She was two over going to the 17th, her nemesis less than 24 hours earlier. The hole is par three, 134 yards long.

“The green is honestly so small,” Watt said. “I used my nine-iron and stuck it to within three feet.”

Watt birdied the hole and was in a four-way tie going into the 18th, the hardest rated hole on the course.

“Both of the previous days I didn’t hit the fairway and got into trouble,” Watt said.

“I crushed my drive right down the middle (Thursday) and was just 130 yards from the hole.

If you miss the green to the right you end up in water and if you miss to the left there’s huge fescue and sand.”

Watt was spot on with her eight-iron landing within 20 feet of the cut.

Her birdie bid was just short leaving a simple tap-in for par.

“Like I said before I was heading to the car when everyone started coming up to me and saying great round,” Watt said. “’What, I’m tied?’ was my reaction.”

Watt decided to hang around for the final group. She knew within minutes she’d won her first state championship when Demers ended up overshooting the green and landing in deep rough. She ended up bogeying the hole.

“To win the State Amateur and to do ti on this course — everyone

says it’s the toughest course to ever host the State Am — really means a lot,” Watt said. “I have a five handicap and there are probably 14 people with better handicaps than me and they all had trouble with this course.”

Watt said she’ll take a little break from competitive golf and then set her sights on the annual City Championship in Manchester, which is played over the Labor Day holiday weekend.

“I was runner-up last year,” Watt said, “I’d like to move up one place this year.”

23rd Annual Wildman Biathlon is Aug. 13 SHELBURNE – It’s time for runners and bicyclists to shift their training schedules into high gear! The 23d Annual Wildman Biathlon, one of the toughest multi-sport events in New England, is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 13 at 8 a.m., rain or shine.

Athletes from all over the United States, Canada and some years even other countries, come to New Hampshire’s White Mountains to compete as an individual or in teams in the Wildman. For 23 years now athletes have been challenging their endurance amid some of the most spectacular scenery in the Northeast. The Wildman Biathlon consists of a 10-K run in the picturesque town of Shelburne, a 22.3 mile bicycle trek through Gorham towards a threemile hill climb up the Polecat ski trail to the finish line at the summit of Wildcat Mountain, a presenting sponsor, located in Pinkham Notch.

The race begins with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. The winners usually cross the finish line about two hours and 15 minutes later. Though many individual competitors complete the entire race, many others choose to combine their abilities as two-person and three-person teams.

The entry fees for the 2011 Wildman Biathlon are $50 for an individual, $100 for a two-person team, and $150 for a three-person team. This price goes up by $10 per person after July 30. The entry fee includes a limited edition Wildman T-shirt, a ride down from the summit on the Wildcat Mountain

RSVP is hoping to have a great sponsorship turnout this year as they have lost the other half of their state funding. This leaves RSVP trying to raise in excess of $17,000 and that doesn’t count the amount of federal dollars lost as a result of no state local funding. RSVP matches individuals age 55 and older with volunteer opportunities at nonprofit and public agencies in their communities.

About 375 volunteers gave more than 55,000 hours of service at 62 sites throughout Coos County last year. Through a variety of service roles these volunteers are helping to meet community needs.

HOME OF THE WEEK

REAL ESTATE CORNER

WWMRD?

BY JASON ROBIE

Nearly every seller I have had the privilege of working with has asked me the same question: What can I do to increase the resale value of my home? The answer is often as simple as adding a fresh coat of paint or an updated kitchen.

There are projects that will not only increase the value of your home but will also help it sell more quickly by making those initial impressions and showings much more fruitful. It should also be noted that there are projects that can hinder your home’s sale-ability and actually hurt the value. Let’s explore both.

In the spirit of ending this article on a positive note, let’s start with what NOT to do. If you have ever talked to a real estate agent about home values, they will tell you that bathrooms and kitchens sell houses. The first two items on the “don’t” list, however, are kitchens and bathrooms. The differentiator here is doing too much.

You have to keep in mind that even if you try to accommodate whom the new buyer might be, you are still putting your own personal tastes on something that is costing you a small fortune.

If you love gourmet cooking and want nothing but the best, you could spend $30,000 or more bringing in that commercial, stainless steel stove and fridge, basin type sinks and restaurant quality venting system. This may be exactly what YOU are looking for in a kitchen. But a buyer who is not crazy about cooking or, more likely, is using this home as a vacation or ski house, is not going to want to pay for that and will move on to the next house with a more moderate setup.

The same can be said about the bathroom.

Super-deep Jacuzzi tubs, custom showers with 20 shower heads and the inlaid marble work throughout is beautiful. But just like the kitchen, buyers that are not in the market for that type of luxury are aware of the costs and will not be willing to pay you for something they don’t want in the first place.

Swimming pools are next. These are not all that prevalent in the Northeast, but they represent a huge investment and can even be a detriment to the overall cost of the home. In-ground pools have a slight advantage over above-ground, but they still represent a significant cost to the homeowner (about $1,500 per year on average) and, much like commercial stoves, are not everyone’s cup of tea.

Lastly are rooms that are too customized. It is one thing to cover the walls of a room with cartoon characters or superheroes to brighten the eyes of your kids, but that is easily remedied and can be removed a few days before the closing. If you remodel your garage into a sunroom or an extra den, the potential buyers will inevitably see this as a waste of a garage (especially in New England) and a large project they will have to undertake should they buy your home.

Now let’s explore some of the ways to increase the value of your home and make it more attractive to buyers. Remodeling magazine provides an annual report for Cost vs. Value and uses input from Realtors in 80 cities to rank projects. This year the report made it clear that first impressions really do matter. It was also interesting and encouraging to note that four of the five top projects were considered “mid-range” and were not overly expensive or extensive. see ROBIE page 50

ROBIE from page 49

Topping the list and the first thing staring at the buyers when they step out of their car is a replacement entry door. The cost and the resale value are almost identical. You do need to be cautious about the style of the door. It is important that the door match the home as well as the neighborhood. Going over-the-top with a fancy, leaded glass door in a moderate neighborhood on a moderate home would look silly and tell the buyer they would need to replace it immediately. Then the resale amount starts to head into the negative!

Replacement siding and garage doors are also of vital importance and provide great return on investment. These are right in the same league as the entry door, but clearly have more visual impact since they are typically the most obvious and prominent features on the home. There are a bevy of options for the types of siding and doors you can buy, but all of the bells and whistles will not replace the fact that this is a large percentage of the front-facing home and needs to be clean, fresh, functioning and (ideally) new.

Finishing up on the outside of the home would be a deck addition. It is important to stay in the middle of the road here as well. A huge deck will never recoup the cost and a deck that is too small will appear useless and likely not win any points with the buyers. I also recommend that you do some of this work yourself. The framing and footings can be done by a professional, but screwing in the decking and applying stain can be a fun weekend project and save you a ton of money.

Once we get inside that fancy new front door you just installed, we come to the old standby: the upgraded kitchen. As I mentioned above, going overboard here is just a waste of money and a big

Simply doing a moderate kitchen upgrade can save you money and pay dividends down the road. Simple upgrades such as painting cabinet doors, replacing flooring and countertops and even updating the appliances will provide buyers with a kitchen they can live with and be easy on your wallet. risk. Simply doing a moderate kitchen upgrade can save you money and pay dividends down the road. Simple upgrades such as painting cabinet doors, replacing flooring and countertops and even updating the appliances will provide buyers with a kitchen they can live with and be easy on your wallet. If at all possible, you should keep your existing wiring and plumbing in place. If they are up to code and functional you can upgrade around them and achieve the same results.

At the end of the day, you have to ask yourself, “WWMRD”? (What Would My Realtor Do?) If your purpose is to sell this home, using the thought process of a real estate professional will likely keep you pointed in the right direction. In all my years of being in real estate, I’ve never heard a Realtor recommend to a buyer that they should remodel a room as the Millennium Falcon or transform the garage into a skate park in order to entice buyers.

Keep your upgrades neutral and your budget conservative. Chances are you’ll make changes that appeal to the masses and get that house sold!

The appeal of adjustable rates

BY MARYANN HAGGERTY NEW YORK TIMES

The 30-year fixed-rate loan has earned its reputation as the sensible, conservative move in the aftermath of the financial crisis, especially with near-low interest rates. But despite risks, some borrowers still are getting or keeping adjustable-rate loans, which have even lower rates.

In the first quarter of 2011, while the volume of ARMs sagged along with the mortgage market, their market share actually rose to the highest point since mid-2008, to 12 percent, according to the trade publication Inside Mortgage Finance.

Adjustable rate mortgages generally attract borrowers when rates are high. The rate is set for a specific time — generally one, five or seven years — and then it adjusts to prevailing rates within boundaries.

That means payments can go up. Payment shock has caused plenty of problems over the years. Rates can also go down, as borrowers who took out ARMs five to seven years ago are finding now. But it’s tough to imagine how rates could get much lower than now, short of Japan-style negative rates.

“If a person is debt-averse and has a history of paying off his or her mortgage within 5 to 10 years, then he or she would definitely consider an ARM,” said Sari Rosenberg, a managing director of the Manhattan Mortgage Company, a loan broker. “I have another client who knows he is selling his home within the next few years and even with the closing costs he will be saving money,” so he took out a three-year ARM. Some borrowers, Rosenberg said, are choosing sevenyear ARMs at around 3.5 percent, for up to $1.5 million, an amount typically set by lenders, versus 5.25 percent for a 30-year loan of that size. But, she said, “on a $1.5 million loan, that is a difference of $1,548 a month or $18,576 year. That pays for half a year of private school tuition in Manhattan.”

Keith Gumbinger, a vice president of HSH Associates, a financial publisher in Pompton Plains, N.J., said, “ARMs are good for borrowers with short-term time frames, usually seven years or less.”

“This can include certain first-time borrowers who expect to trade up,” Gumbinger continued, “such as a single person buying a studio apartment; folks who get transferred, or expect to be, within that time; folks refinancing with just a few more years expected in the old suburban mansion; jumbo mortgage seekers looking for a lower-cost alternative, and even folks who are approaching retirement age who want to seriously improve their cash flow to maximize their retirement accounts.”

Conversely, ARMs aren’t wise for borrowers who plan to stay put, Gumbinger said, or those who would have trouble managing rising payments. That includes people who expect cash-flow strains, such as those starting a family.

Another choice faces borrowers whose five or sevenyear ARMs are resetting now, said Gary Schatsky, a financial planner at ObjectiveAdvice.com in New York City. Rates may drop to 2.25 percent to 3.25 percent from about 5 percent. That compares with around 4.5 percent, on average, for 30-year fixed-rate loans now.

But that super-low rate is good for only a year.

“It’s very seductive,” Schatsky said, especially because keeping that ARM rather than refinancing into a fixed-rate loan avoids closing costs.

In that case, he said, know how much your rate could jump after a year — ARMs generally have caps on increases — and whether you can handle that. “I want you to have a Plan B,” he said.

In the meantime, he counsels clients to consider using the savings to pay down the loan, rather than spending it.

And borrowers who are nervous about higher future payments should consider forgoing the alluring new rate, he said.

“If you have no room subjectively for the risk,” Schatsky said, “it’s not a bad time to say it’s been a good ride, but it’s time to go from adjustable to fixed.”

Millions of homeowners in distress are getting some unexpected breathing room — lots of it in some places.

In New York State, it would take lenders 62 years at their current pace, the longest time frame in the nation, to repossess the 213,000 houses now in severe default or foreclosure, according to calculations by LPS Applied Analytics, a prominent real estate data firm.

Clearing the pipeline in New Jersey, which like New York handles foreclosures through the courts, would take 49 years. In Florida, Massachusetts and Illinois, it would take a decade.

In the 27 states where the courts play no role in foreclosures, the pace is much more brisk — three years in California, two years in Nevada and Colorado — but the dynamic is the same: the foreclosure system is bogged down by the volume of cases, borrowers are fighting to keep their houses and many lenders seem to be in no hurry to add repossessed houses to their books.

“If you were in foreclosure four years ago, you were biting your nails, asking yourself, When is the sheriff going to show up and put me on the street?’ ” said Herb Blecher, an LPS senior vice president. “Now you’re probably not losing any sleep.”

When major banks acknowledged last fall that they had been illegally processing foreclosures by filing false court documents, they said that any pause in repossessions and evictions would be brief. All of the major servicers agreed to institute reforms in their foreclosure procedures. In April, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and other regulators gave the banks 60 days to draw up a plan to do so.

But nothing is happening quickly.

When the comptroller’s deadline was reached last week, it was extended another month.

New foreclosure cases and repossessions are down nationally by about a third since last fall, LPS said. In New York, foreclosure filings are down 85 percent since September, according to the New York State Unified Court System.

Mark Stopa, a St. Petersburg, Fla., specialist in foreclosure defense, has 1,275 clients, up from 350 a year ago.

About 75 clients have won modifications, dismissals or sold their properties

for less than they owed. All the other cases are pending.

“Banks aren’t even trying to win,” said Stopa, who charges his clients an annual fee of $1,500.

J. Thomas McGrady, the chief judge of Florida’s Sixth Circuit, which includes St. Petersburg, agreed. “We’re here to do what we’re asked to do. But you’ve got to ask. And the banks aren’t asking,” he said.

A spokesman for Bank of America said, “Any suggestion that we have a strategy to delay foreclosures is baseless.” A Wells Fargo spokeswoman blamed changes in state laws governing foreclosure for any slowdown. A GMAC spokeswoman said it was following “regulatory and investor expectations.” JPMorgan Chase declined to comment. Servicers said some of the decline in foreclosures could be traced to an improved economy.

There are many reasons that foreclosure, which has been slowing ever since the housing bubble burst, has been further delayed in many states.

The large number of cases nationally — about two million, plus another two million waiting in the wings — have overwhelmed many lenders and the courts.

Lenders, who service loans they own as well as those owned by investors, tried to circumvent the time-intensive process by using “robo-signers” who mass-produced documents, many of which made inaccurate claims. When the bad practices were discovered last fall, the lenders were forced to revisit hundreds of thousands of cases.

Over the last two years, most defaulting homeowners were people who had lost their jobs. Housing analysts say these homeowners are more likely to hire a lawyer and fight repossession than borrowers who had sub-prime loans that swelled beyond their ability to pay.

Judges these days are also more inclined to scrutinize requests for eviction rather than automatically approve them. The so-called foreclosure mills — law firms that handled many of the suits for the banks — are in retreat under law enforcement pressure. And some analysts suggest that banks are reluctant to take too many houses onto their books at any one moment for fear of flooding a shaky market. see next page

Ask a Broker

Values down, taxes up?

QUESTION: My property taxes are going up, even though the local home values have gone down. This is because, it is said, there are so many foreclosures. When a house is foreclosed and goes back to the lender, isn't the lender still required to pay the property taxes on the house? The lender will make money on the house eventually.

ANSWER: First, you should be appealing your tax assessment. If local home values are going down then that should be reflected in your tax bill.

Second, when a home is foreclosed the lender and their servicer are supposed to take on the taxes, maintenance and security once new ownership is recorded. However, after foreclosure a property may remain vacant for a lengthy period, making it susceptible to vandalism and reducing its value. As an example, the Woodstock Institute found that among from preceding page

In New York, lenders seeking to repossess face additional hurdles. The legislature has mandated that borrower and bank meet to discuss terms under the auspices of the court, but these conferences have turned out to be anything but brief or simple. Instead of one conference, 10 are often needed, court officials say.

And many foreclosure lawyers seem unable to meet a requirement, made last October by the New York Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman, to affirm the accuracy of their documentation.

“The affirmation has had a pretty chilling effect,” said Ann Pfau, New York’s chief administrative judge. “The attorneys for the banks tell us they can’t get through to the right people at their clients who can verify the information.”

Last September, before the documen-

more than 18,000 vacant properties in Chicago almost 70 percent had been foreclosed.

Third, the idea that the lender will make money on foreclosed property now or at some point in the future is unlikely in most markets, if not impossible.

Short sales depend on the willingness of the lender to accept less than the remaining principal debt. In the case of foreclosures, a 2007 study by the Joint Economic Committee of Congress estimated that a typical foreclosure produces a loss of as much as $80,000 in terms of lost principal, taxes and reduced local home values. Today, losses are likely to be greater because home prices have continued to decline.

Alternatively, if a property could be sold at a profit then the owner would simply sell, pay the lender in full and everyone would be happy. There would be no need to foreclose.

tation crisis, nearly 1,500 New Yorkers lost their houses as a result of foreclosure, according to LPS. The average over the last six months: 286. That is far lower than at any point since the recession began.

Similar foreclosure cases can have different fates. To increase their odds of staying put, the foreclosed who can afford it are hiring lawyers, a move that can drastically slow down a case.

Stopa, the Florida lawyer, said he divided his clients into three groups.

Some are unemployed or disabled and just getting by. Others are able to save money and improve their financial situation as their case drags on. The third group are those who have strategically defaulted. They can afford to pay but are taking advantage of the banks’ plodding pace. Often the members of this group rent out the foreclosed home and keep the proceeds.

Paying for title insurance

BY MARYANN HAGGERTY NEW YORK TIMES

There's not much you can do about title insurance.

If you take out a mortgage to buy a home, you have to buy this specialized form of insurance. If you refinance a mortgage, you have to rebuy it. And comparison shopping may not save you much money, as premium rates throughout the New York area are regulated.

Title insurance is a way to assure that no one but you has a claim on your home — that there are no outstanding liens, misfiled deeds or mysterious former owners. Mortgage lenders uniformly require that borrowers buy such a policy to cover the lender.

Borrowers also may opt to buy an owner’s policy to cover themselves.

Local title agents, abstract companies or lawyers search legal records; then title insurance firms, generally big national companies, underwrite the insurance. From the consumer’s perspective, these often seem intertwined. Precisely how they set and split the charges varies among jurisdictions.

“The real buyer is not the consumer,” said J. Robert Hunter, the director of insurance at the Consumer Federation of America and a vociferous critic of title insurance. Hunter points out that title insurance agents, who receive commissions from the title insurance companies, usually pick the insurer. “No real shopping goes on.”

Like the rest of the mortgage industry, title insurers have been battered by the collapse of the real estate market. They lost money on operations in 2008 and 2009, according to A. M. Best, which analyzes and rates insurance companies. In 2010 the

picture improved somewhat; this year, not much “changed materially,” according to the Best analysts Michael Russo and Neil DasGupta.

When a bank forecloses, it orders a title review, and that has become “an increasingly important source of revenue in the last couple years,” DasGupta said.

Consumers pay one-time premiums for title insurance. An owner’s policy lasts as long as the borrower owns the house, but the lender policy must be repurchased each time a loan is refinanced, albeit usually at a lower reissue rate.

Title insurance rates are usually a small percentage of the home’s cost, but they vary by locale. On a $300,000 home with a $240,000 mortgage in New York City, it would cost $1,164 for a lender policy at purchase, according to the First American Title Insurance Company. Opt at purchase for both lender and owner polices, and it would cost $1,749.

A $240,000 refi lender policy two years later on that same property would cost $582.

Claim payoff rates are lower than for many other types of insurance. The industry argues that most of the effort goes into fixing title problems before the loan closes, rather than dealing with future claims.

In New York and New Jersey, most insurance companies join a sanctioned “bureau” that submits one rate request on behalf of its members, which means rates are identical.

In Connecticut, insurers apply for approval individually. “It’s a competitive market,” said Donna Tommelleo, a spokeswoman for the Connecticut Insurance Department.

Treatment of title search fees varies. For instance, see next page

New York splits the state into two zones. In one, basically from Albany south, the regulated premium covers search fees. Upstate, it doesn’t.

Rafael Castellanos, a managing partner at Expert Title in New York, argues that borrowers should still shop around among title agents. He contends that borrowers are better served by independent title companies than by agencies owned by or affiliated with lenders. (All of them generally are agents for the same big insurers.)

“The public policy is to keep everybody honest and keep everybody on the same playing field,” Castellanos said. “The rates will be the same; are you getting great service?”

A roofing material with real mettle Because of affordability and ease of installation, asphalt shingles have long been the No. 1 residential roof choice. However, metal roofs have slowly become a closer contender.

Though metal roofs may cost more up front than asphalt shingle roofs, they can be much more durable.

Their lifetime is pegged anywhere from 40 to 60 years, versus 15 years for asphalt, says Mike Kowal, president of Custom-Bilt Metals.

Besides longevity, metal roofs also can be more energy efficient — a “cool” solution because reflective coatings can be applied to the base metal and reduce

how much heat enters a home, Kowal says.

Before proceeding, know a few potential downsides: • Metal may dent during a major hail storm, but still will maintain its strength and performance ability, says Chicago architect Scott Rappe. “If your area is prone to hail, consider a higher weight metal panel,” he says.

• If you plan to move within a few years, you may not recoup your full investment, but should see some increased value, says Bob Kulp, director of the National Roofing Contractors Association.
