Questions, gifts and chocolate milk for Romney during bus-tour stop at Kennett Middle School

BY DAYMOND STEERTHE CONWAY DAILY SUN

The event marked the second day for the former Massachusetts governor's "Earn It" bus tour, which crisscrossed New Hampshire — from Keene to Lan-caster — in advance of the Jan. 10 New Hampshire primary.

Former New Hampshire governor John Sununu Sr. said the next president needs

to have experience as a governor. Sununu says he's "committed himself" to making sure Romney takes the White House. Then he told the audience members to each fi nd two people who they can con-vince to vote for Romney.

SAYWHAT...A fi lm is never really good unless

A year of disappointment at the box offi ceLOS ANGELES (NY

TIMES) — With fi ve days left in 2011, ticket sales in North America are running about $500 million behind last year — despite higher prices — prompting a round of soul searching by studios trying to determine what went wrong and how best to proceed.

Movies are a cyclical business and analysts say that 2010 benefi ted mightily from holdover sales for “Avatar,” which was released late in 2009 and became one of the most popular movies of all time. A decline of hun-dreds of millions of dollars is not catastrophic when weighed against the size of the industry. Over all, North American ticket rev-enue for 2011 is projected to be about $10.1 billion, according to Hollywood.com, which compiles box-offi ce data.

That is only a 4.5 per-cent falloff from 2010. But studio executives are alarmed by the down-turn nonetheless, in part because the real picture is worse than the raw rev-enue numbers suggest.

Revenue, for instance, has been propped up by a glut of 3-D fi lms, which cost $3 to $5 more per ticket. Studios made 40 pictures in 3-D in the last 12 months, up from 24 last year, according to BoxOffi ceMojo.com, a movie database.

New North Korean leader ascends to head of party

Report condemns Japan’s response to nuclear accident

SEOUL, South Korea (NY TIMES) — Kim Jong-un, the newly anointed leader of North Korea, met on Monday with a private delegation of prominent South Koreans, his fi rst face-to-face encounter with any visitors from the estranged South since assum-ing the top spot a week ago when his father’s Dec. 17 death was abruptly announced.

The meeting, scrutinized for any hint of Mr. Kim’s intentions toward South Korea, came as the offi -cial North Korean media announced he had been appointed to the top post of the ruling party, another

step in what appeared to be a choreographed sequence of events meant to show that he was assuming all the key positions held by his father, Kim Jong-il, the longtime ruler of the isolated North.

South Korea had said it would send no offi cial mourners to Kim Jong-il’s funeral, which angered North Korea as a sign of disrespect. But Kim Jong-un’s meeting with the private delegation of mourn-ers, which included the former fi rst lady of South Korea and a top business woman, appeared to be cordial.

American fi rms see Europe woes as opportunities(NY TIMES) — As Europe struggles with its debt

crisis, American businesses and fi nancial fi rms are swooping in amid the distress, making loans and snapping up assets owned by banks there — from the mortgage on a luxury hotel in Miami Beach to the tallest offi ce building in Dublin.

The sales are being spurred on because European banks are scrambling to raise capital and shrink their balance sheets, often under orders from regu-lators. European fi nancial institutions will unload up to $3 trillion in assets over the next 18 months, according to an estimate from Huw van Steenis, an analyst with Morgan Stanley.

This month a team of three bankers from the London offi ce of the buyout giant Kohlberg Kravis

Roberts headed to Greece to examine a promising private company that cannot get Greek banks to pro-vide credit for future growth. The Blackstone Group agreed to buy from the German fi nancial giant Com-merzbank $300 million in real estate loans that are backed by properties, including the Mondrian South Beach hotel in Florida and four Sofi tel hotels in Chi-cago, Miami, Minneapolis and San Francisco. Com-merzbank is under pressure from regulators to raise 5.3 billion euros ($6.9 billion) in new capital by mid-2012.

Google too saw an opportunity. It bought the Mon-tevetro building in Dublin this year from Ireland’s National Asset Management Agency, which acquired it after a huge bank rescue by the Irish government.

TOKYO (NY TIMES) — From inspectors who abandoned the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant as it succumbed to disas-ter to a delay in disclosing radiation leaks, Japan’s response to the nuclear accident caused by the March tsunami fell tragi-cally short, a government-appointed investigative panel said on Monday.

The problems, which the panel said had exacerbated the extent of the disaster, were outlined in a 500-page interim report detailing an investigation into Japan’s response to the calamitous events that unfolded at the Fukushima plant after the March 11 quake and tsu-nami knocked out all of the site’s power.

Three of the plant’s six reactors overheated and suffered fuel meltdowns, and hydrogen explosions blew the tops off three reac-tor buildings, leading to a massive leak of radiation at levels not seen since Cher-nobyl in 1986.

Work on wind farm winding downDUMMER — From a electrical

contractor in Berlin to an equipment rental business in Gorham, a dozen contractors from Coos County worked on the construction of the Granite Reliable Power wind farm this year.

Work on the largest wind farm in the state is wrapping up with all 33 wind turbines installed and in the process of being commissioned. Brook-fi eld Renewable Power Director of Communications Julie Smith-Galvin said she expects the entire facility to be operating commercially by the end of this year.

Smith-Galvin said there are about 35 people still employed doing lim-ited work on site. There are also nine permanent site technicians in place to run the wind farm. Some fi nal land-scaping and stabilization work will be performed next spring.

“The majority of the project will be complete and we’ll come back in the spring for tree planting and some additional restoration,” said Pip Decker, during a recent tour of the wind farm. Decker served as proj-ect manager, starting when Noble Environmental Power fi rst proposed the wind farm and continuing when Brookfi eld Renewable Power became majority owner.

Site clearing for the wind farm got under way in early February and con-struction started in mid-May. At the height of the construction, there were about 300 people employed on the project which is in Dummer and the unincorporated places of Millsfi eld, Dixville, Odell and Erving's Location.

Smith-Galvin said she is still work-ing on getting a breakdown of local labor used on the project. But she said the general contractor on the proj-ect, RMT Inc. of Madison, Wisc., said about 70 percent of the total work hours on the project were performed by 25 contractors from New England. Of that list, 12 of the contractors were from Coos County and another three were from Grafton County.

From Coos County, the contractors hired for the project were AB Logging of Lancaster, Aerial Site Communica-tions of Gorham, Coleman Concrete of Gorham, Great North Woods Con-tainer Service of Berlin, Hicks Log-ging of Jefferson, Isaacson Steel of

From Grafton County, the contrac-tors were Horizons Engineering of Littleton, Lobdell Associates of Land-off, and Meadow Leasing of Littleton.

The project also contracted with the Coos County Sheriff’s Department for security.

The 33-turbines are arranged in four strings along Dixville Peak, Mount Kelsey, Owlhead Mountain and Fish-brook Ridge. From the base to the tip of the blades, each turbine is 410 feet high. The Danish company Vestas Operations Group, which will operate the wind farm for two years, manufac-tured the turbines. The 3-megawatt turbines were transported in compo-nents through the region for much of the summer.

Decker said the project required the

construction of 11 miles of new gravel road and the upgrading of 19 miles of existing road. Along the way, he said over 200 new culverts and six new bridges were installed. The project

used a combination of wooden poles and laminated poles, ranging from 40 to 60 feet high, to carry the transmis-

To the editor:In the past few weeks there

has been much publicity sur-rounding the Conway tree lighting. At this time the Mount Washington Valley Skating Club would like to thank all those who stepped in and made it possible. First and foremost I would like to thank Mount Wash-ington Valley Skating Club Board Member and Mount Washington Valley Cham-ber of Commerce employee, Melody Nester who brought to the club’s attention the opportunity to continue the tradition of the Conway Vil-lage tree lighting. Though the club initially set out to do this alone, we soon realized that we could not. Once our predicament became know, offers of help poured in, the community rallied and the Conway Village tree light-ing again became a reality. Though it is impossible to name all who contributed we would like to recognize the following: PainCare and The Conway Sun who bought the new LED lights that adorn the tree; Earle Sires, the town of Conway and the Conway Fire Depart-ment who took down the old lights, put up the new lights and safety tested the whole electrical system; Janice Crawford of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber and Selectman Mary Seavey for their advice and tremen-dous amount of assistance with the entire project.

A big thank you to all the

businesses who provided refreshments and to other business supporters for their kind donations — and of course Santa himself who made a special appearance at the tree lighting.

Immediately following the Tree Lighting the Mount Washington Valley Skating Club presented it’s annual “Holiday on Ice” show. This too is an event that would not be possible without the help of many club and community donors and volunteers. We would like to take this oppor-tunity to thank them as well. A big thank you to Northway Bank for their generous spon-sorship of the show; to Gayle Lemerise for designing the show posters and programs as well as other publicity materi-als for the club throughout the year; to Melissa Helmers for clearly and professionally announcing our skaters as they took the ice; to the local media who help “get the word out” about our events; and fi nally to the Ham Arena and Staff and the Mount Wash-ington Valley Skating Club Board of Directors, parents, volunteers and skaters with-out which the club would not exist.

In closing I would again like to applaud all those who generously came forth to share their talents and resources exemplifying the “season of giving” here in the Mount Washington Valley.

The day after Christmas always brought confl icting emotions to the different mem-bers of my family. Before I became a teen-ager, my own reaction consisted mainly of relief that all the mandatory family gath-erings were over, with the formal meals that never began until the middle of the afternoon, when I was starving.

My mother also greeted December 26 with relief, I think, but for her there was still a lot of work. The holiday dinner ser-vice and the family silver that had com-prised her entire inheritance had to be washed and stored away (I’ve always wondered where that silverware went), and the Christmas tree that posed such a fi re hazard was usually dismantled, leaving needles and tinsel and what seemed like a furlong of tangled lights.

Unless Christmas had fallen on a Friday or Saturday, and sometimes even then, my father had to go back to work the next day. Finances were always pretty tight in northern New Hampshire in the fi nal years of the Eisenhower administration, and as much as my father hated to owe people money I suspect that most of the gifts we had received were bought on the cuff. I can only imagine how he greeted the passing of Christmas, with its burden of acute debt and another brutal winter ahead that con-tinually threatened to ruin the Scout that served as our snowplow and only transpor-tation.

Meanwhile, I was in heaven. With more than a week left before school resumed, I could fi nally play with all the toys I had so greedily anticipated, and learn how boring they actually were, or how easily they broke. I grew up just as plastic and white metal began to replace most of the steel in manufactured goods, and the Christmas season used to bring severe cold in the days before global warming, so there was a lot of breakage. I particularly mourned my replica of an 1859 Sharps cavalry car-bine: with the Civil War centennial loom-ing in the immediate future, I had planned to wield that weapon against enemies blue or grey, but the plastic hammer snapped off the fi rst time I pulled the trigger out-doors, in below-zero weather, the day after Christmas. I’ve long wondered how many hours of work it cost to buy that fl imsy

piece of frivolity.Average temperatures have risen mark-

edly on our people-choked planet since then, relieving us of most of those twenty- and thirty-below-zero days that used to be so common. However, with the alterna-tive weapons of high winds and heavy, wet snow, winter still does its best to kill us. Falling as it does in the shortest days of the year, the Christmas season only marks the beginning of that long struggle for sur-

vival against the New England elements. Dis-tracting northern Euro-peans from such dark refl ections was the orig-inal purpose behind all the artifi cial festivity around the solstice, and later that pagan revelry

was co-opted by promoters of Christianity and retail excess.

Once the solstice is past, the lengthening days and higher sun almost immediately brighten the spirits and hint at the still-distant spring. Even one of my chickens seemed to respond to the few extra seconds of daylight on December 22, giving up the fi rst egg any of that brood has produced since the cloud-darkened days of Septem-ber. After Christmas there seems to be less need of the heavy infusions of wine and shopping to allay the depression of Decem-ber’s deepest gloom. How much more exhilarating the January sunshine would have been for my parents without all those pressing store accounts.

Everyone knows that snow improves Christmas sales, because it puts people in the mood for impulsive purchases. No mood is more conducive to that than depres-sion, and what can be more depressing than the fi rst snowfall of a long, arduous winter? Last October 29 I had just eaten breakfast in Gettysburg, Pa., when fat, wet snowfl akes started falling. I knew that I was facing a 600-mile drive through that storm once I left town that afternoon, and I feared a longer winter than usual. That was enough to depress me a little, and I made the mistake of turning into a store that sold antique fi rearms. Prominent in that ancient arsenal was an original 1859 Sharps carbine, in excellent condi-tion except for a little wear from hanging against the hip of some Union trooper. It was all I could do to get out of the store.

I’ve long wondered how many hours of work it cost to buy that fl imsy piece of

frivolity.

To the editor:I write in response to the reduction of teach-

ing teams at Kennett Middle School. This has been the topic of serious discussions between the school board, budget committees and the administration for many years.

We were assured that when the enrollment got down to 300 that they could go to three teams. The school board needs to take the administration to task and hold them to what

they promised (under 300, go to three teams).I feel it is very inappropriate to put this on a

warrant article for the voters to decide such an important decision that should be made in house, between the board and the administration.

I am defi nitely for a proper education for our students but I feel this can be done with coop-eration among all parties.

Tele-Talk

What’s the best thing about Christmas?There were 20 responses to this

week’s Tele-Talk question is “What’s the best thing about Christmas?” Spending time with loved ones topped the list of responses.

The best thing is it only comes once a year and it is over on the 26th. This is Peter in Conway.

The best thing I think about Christ-mas is just plain the joy of it all. Thank you. Merry Christmas.

For me, this year, the best thing about Christmas was more Charlie Brown Christmas trees.

Actually the question should be why is the Conway Public Library so disre-spectful to its own Christian commu-

nity? After 35 years of decorating the library and this year, nothing. That big, beautiful tree is not put up. Who are these interlopers outside or within who are threatening the librarians. And another point is, why wouldn’t the librarians themselves say let’s stop, we’ve done this for 35 years and now we’re not going to put up the tree? Is it outsiders who have come in that are disrespecting us Christians?

I especially like “holiday” at the White House with Obama’s “holi-day” tree and the “holiday” carols being sung. My favorite is “O Feier-tag Baum,” which translates in Eng-lish to “O Public Holiday Tree,” This is Ralph in Eaton.

It’s when all the freeloading rela-tives split and go home. Cheer up. The politicians recently extended unem-ployment benefi ts, (free money), and when that runs out you can always get a job at McDonald’s. Peace.

LETTERS

To the editor:My thoughts shared with heart surgeon

Dan Morgenstern:Your metaphor of the magnificent tree

that eventually dies and rots is poignant, albeit not what is happening. A tree has a natural life span Dr. Morgenstern. It lives, hopefully, like a child when given the proper nutrients and nurturing. It thrives and grows to its optimal capacity in nature. When it dies, slowly, like the aged willows that still struggle to bring forth leaves in my yard, it finally succumbs to the circle of life and goes back to the soil, becomes part of the new again, making that soil a bit more fertile. It does not erode or degrade the land that gave it life, birth, as we do to this land. It does not pollute the water it could not live without, or poison the air, as our industrial “revolution” has done to ours. No, it decom-poses, and turns back to another form of life that in turn, will being forth new organisms that will continue the circle of life and per-haps, be bit stronger.

This nation is not dying of natural causes, but by its own hand, from the inside, out, like all those people you cut open because, like this nation, they became diseased from the inside out. This nation is dying because it built its power and prestige off theft, and teaches that theft is normal, all through the education system that exists to make future consumer capitalists out of its young, at a cost to this earth no dollar figure could calculate. What does the extinction of spe-cies go for these days?

This nation is dying because its value system was built upon a lie, the lie that humans are the dominant species and all the earth is for us alone, all others can be eradicated, eliminated, used as commodi-ties, stolen for profit like America, for sale to the highest bidder.

Its earliest citizens came here to escape the very systems it has since created. Its earliest citizens came, found native peoples,

waged war on them, stole their land, and proceeded to carve America into pieces. After the much-lauded pioneers came, after “the West was won,” and cows and sheep started the foundation of economic power, slavery, another form of theft, took its toll on the hearts of humanity.

When trees die and rot, they enhance the soil and give back something. What will America’s legacy be? And what new breath will spring forth to grow a new path of equity, justice, freedom for all? Perhaps the time has come to look inside, and discover what is critical for our survival as a spe-cies, connected to every other species and life supporting system under assault in the commodity , profit driven value system of continued growth. Like Americans’ bodies, growth can only last so long, before it takes its toll.

Part of the rot you speak of is your own industry, an entire medical empire built upon another lie.

As far back as 1896, insightful nutrition-ist Ellen G White said,” Physicians who use flesh meat and prescribe it for their patients ( the reason your industry, cardiology, exists) should not be employed in our institutions, because they fail decidedly in educating their patients to discard that which makes them sick. The physician who uses and pre-scribes meat( and dairy, liquid meat) does not reason from cause to effect, and instead of acting as a restorer, he leads his patients by his own example to indulge a perverted appetite. The physicians employed in our institutions should be reformers in this respect and in every other. Many of the patients are suffering because of errors in diet. They need to be shown a better way. But how can a meat eating physician do this? By their wrong habits, they trammel their own work and cripple their useful-ness.”

Laura SlittBartlett

Nation is dying because its value system was built upon a lie Thanks to selectmen for rebuilding fl ood-damaged areasTo the editor:After reading the recent letter by

the Bartlett selectmen on Dec. 22, I want to offer my sincerest thanks to the selectmen and the town of Bartlett for their unwavering efforts and dili-gence in rebuilding fl ood damaged areas after the August hurricane.

I was still a part-time resident at the time of the fl ood. I watched the Saco River wipe out great chunks of River Street and render the River Street Bridge unsafe for crossing all in a matter of a few minutes. The bridge and the road are the only means of egress to reach Bartlett Village from our neigh-borhood. At the time my guess was that we would be cut off from the rest of the town for a week or more.

The very next morning I watched as a coordinated, systematic , an over-whelming response of assistance came from the town as well as the residents in the area. The workers worked non-stop until late in the evening moving huge boulders, bringing in fi ll, assess-ing damage to the bridge. The police department was there to answer questions and offer assistance. I had an “Ocean City” sweatshirt on at the time and one police offi cer sought me out and explained to me what was going on and offered assistance and

asked if there was anything I needed. He did not know I was a resident and wanted to make sure I felt safe. By the day’s end the bridge and all the roads from Route 302 to Hart’s Location were open.

In other states and municipalities it might have taken a week before the fi rst boulder was moved and even the temporary work would still be in progress today. Yes these efforts cost money, and just as we all came together those days in August we all have to come together to share the burden for the cost now and in the near future.

I can only imagine that the effort and time to secure funds from the federal government was as monu-mental a task as fi xing the damage to our town. I truly appreciate every hour and minute the town representa-tives have given to make this fi nancial burden less for us, while at the same time having the foresight to try to pre-vent a future storm from infl icting as much damage.

This resident of Bartlett is proud of where he lives and the neighbors and community that make this town an amazing place to live.

To the editor:On Saturday, Dec. 3, more than 60 area

foster children and foster families enjoyed a wonderful Christmas party sponsored by Altrusa International and New Hamp-shire Department of Health and Human Services, Division for Children Youth and Families Offi ce (DCYF) in Conway. The event was held at Runnells Hall in Chocorua, which was decorated with a Christmas tree donated by Altrusa. All the children were able to enjoy the day with crafts, cookie decorating, and face painting by Hunter Calomb.

Santa was at the event to welcome all the families as they arrived. The children were able to sit on Santa’s lap and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. Everyone was able to enjoy the day with appetizers made by the staff at DCYF and a beautiful holiday cake donated by

Altrusa.Lastly Altrusa International gener-

ously donated a new book for all chil-dren at the holiday celebration, and Gail Calomb, assistant supervisor at DCYF donated a Christmas ornament for every-one in attendance.

DCYF would like to thank the entire Altrusa organization for their incredible generosity. The members put on a memo-rable afternoon that greatly exceeded our expectations, and fi lled the children’s hearts with Christmas joy.

Finally, a big thank you to our dedi-cated Carroll County Foster and Adoptive Parents for making life better for so many of the state’s children. Families interested in providing foster care may call 1-800-522-4628 for more information.

CLOSED CHRISTMAS DAY"If you do that, I promise you Presi-

dent Obama will end up being a one-term president and you will have spent the evening with the next president of the United States," said Sununu.

Romney also received an endorse-ment from Carroll County Attorney Tom Dewhurst who called Romney "a man of action."

As for gifts, Al Risch gave Romney a Mount Washington-themed calendar, and former Kennett teacher Brian P. Wiggin presented Romney a bottle of chocolate milk, one of Romney's favor-ite treats. Risch was a volunteer at the Salt Lake City Olympics, which Romney headed.

"This is unbelievable, thank you," said Romney about the gifts.

The town hall meeting wasn't all chocolate milk and calendars for Romney. He also had to contend with a number of questions covering diffi -cult subjects.

Conway resident Steve Steiner said the war on drugs was being ignored during this election cycle. About 11 years ago, Steiner lost a 19-year-old son to an Oxycontin overdose. Since then, Steiner started an organization called Dads And Mad Moms Against Drug Dealers (DAMMAD).

ROMNEY from page one "What I'm looking for is a president and a fi rst lady to use the bully pulpit at the White House like the Reagans did," said Steiner.

Romney replied he wouldn't legalize drugs but that the war on drugs isn't as effective as it could be. Romney said he would launch a national public rela-tions campaign against drug abuse.

"Our kids take (drugs) because they think it's cool but I don't think they'd think it's cool if they knew people were dying as a result of that happening," said Romney of the drug-fueled vio-lence in Mexico and around the world.

After the meeting, Steiner said he was glad Romney wouldn't legal-ize drugs. However, Steiner said it remains to be seen if Romney will really make drug-abuse prevention a priority.

One man said the unemployment rate is going down and wondered if that meant the county was heading in the right direction.

All recessions eventually end, said Romney. But the problem with this recession is it has taken much longer for the jobs to return. The recovery has been so slow because of the uncer-tainty created by new regulations from the Obama Administration.

"It was two summers ago vice president Biden said we're in the recovery summer and that didn't happen," said Romney.

Later, Romney predicted America will face severe economic woes if the $15 trillion national debt con-tinues to increase. By next year, the debt will go up to $16 trillion, which is 80 or 90 percent of the nation's Gross Domestic Product.

"We're now getting close to the Italy-type level and the Greece-type level," said Romney. "We will have a catastrophe unlike anything we've ever known in this country unless we fi nally get control of our budget."

The Obama Administration has also interfered with the free market by giving some businesses advantages over others. As an example, Romney, a former venture capitalist, said Obama gave $500 million to a now-defunct company called Solyndra.

"When government starts to play the role of choos-ing the winners and losers it scares everyone else away," said Romney. "What the president did made

it less likely solar will be commercialized, not more."As for the Middle East, Romney stressed that he

takes the role of commander in chief seriously. Right now, Afghan military is being trained so U.S. forces can leave by the end of 2014. For now, that seems like a good deadline, said Romney who would be willing to adjust it if need be.

Romney called this era "the most dangerous and fragile" time for Israel that he's seen in his adult life. Israel is under threat because of chaos in Egypt and Syria, the latter being a key ally of Iran. Romney is anxious to see Syrian president Bashar al-Assad out of power. Romney was disappointed Obama didn't interfere in the Iranian elections when pro-testers were "crying for freedom."

"If there are nations like Syria were there are dis-sidents that are standing up to tyrants, we should be encouraging and supporting those dissidents with our rhetoric, potentially with our covert capa-bilities and I wouldn't (rule out) military support of some kind," said Romney. "The decision to involve American kinetic force, our men and women, in a

place of danger is a very high threshold decision."Jim Martel, of Sandwich, and his young son, Ben,

wanted to know what Romney would do to bring back American manufacturing.

"I think he answered it pretty well and I hope he gets more stuff made in America and gets the coun-try out of debt," said Ben Martel who would vote for Romney if he were old enough.

The elder Martel, who is self-employed as a long-distance truck driver, said he believes Romney has the skills to get the U.S. out of debt. Martel also believes Obama has created too many regula-tions. Martel made a reference to Ross Perot's claim Mexico would take American jobs if a then-proposed free trade agreement were signed.

China is a bigger problem than Mexico in terms of outsourcing jobs, Romney said. Romney alleged China steals American intellectual property, hacks American computers and manipulates its currency to make its products cheaper.

The cost of higher education was of prime concern for some, including Jackson grandfather Dr. Gerald Car-rier and college student Kallie Durkit who goes to college in Ohio.

Carrier said he was particularly troubled by the high debt loads on medical and dental school students.

Romney replied young people will start questioning the value of college education by looking for schools that can provide quality education for a reasonable cost. For instance, there's a school in Florida called Full Sail University, which caters to students studying media and entertainment industries. The school keeps costs down by holding classes 24 hours per day and not having summer breaks. Romney agreed medical school debts are overwhelming. Romney said even his own son is dealing with that prob-lem.

But Durkit questioned Romney's believability. As a college student she didn't believe for-profi t schools would really offer good education at a fair price.

"Why should we mobilize for you as a candidate instead of Obama as we did in 2008?" she asked.

Job creators are unenthusiastic about hiring more employees because of Obama's policies, Romney replied. For-profi t schools and jails wouldn't necessarily cost more than state-run institutions because free enterprise encourages entrepreneurs to provide

ROMNEY from page 9 goods and services of the best quality for the lowest price. Government is ineffi cient, he said.

"What I can promise you is this," said Romney to Durkit. "When you get out of college if I'm president, you will have a job. If president Obama is reelected you will not be able to get a job."

Durkit, who was on vacation with her parents, said she enjoys getting to meet the candidates in New Hamp-shire.

"They don't stop quite as often in Ohio," said Durkit.

Durkit didn't feel like Romney's answer was realistic but says the former governor has the best chance of beating the president. Still, Durkit favors Obama over Romney.

As for immigration, Romney said he'd develop a much clearer path to American citizenship. The govern-ment has to be selective about who it lets in because there is high demand to enter the country.

Romney's proposed immigration process would be based on award-ing points to applicants based on their education, job skills, and family within the United States. Applicants would be able to look up online where they are in the queue for citizenship and they would accumulate points as they wait.

One woman who lived in Washing-ton D.C. said she's never seen parti-sanship as bad as it is now. She said

Obama eschewed his promise to work with Republicans. She wondered if Romney would undercut the Demo-crats.

Romney replied Obama took the Democratic Congress for granted and didn't know how to react when his party was swept out in 2010. In contrast, Romney said as the Massa-chusetts governor he had to cooperate with a Democratic legislature. He did that by developing solid relationships with the Senate president and House speaker. As an example of bipartisan-ship, Romney said they were able to pass a law mandating that Massachu-setts High School students pass a test in order to graduate.

"We recognized the importance of high standards," said Romney of him-self and the then Massachusetts leg-islature.

Romney told personal stories about how he met his wife (which Ann Romney had to correct slightly) and about his childhood family trips taken in his parents' Rambler.

Ann Romney said her husband had the skills capability to turn the coun-try around. She also described him as a loving husband who stood by her side when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. The couple has fi ve children and 16 grandchildren.

"I'm really serious about this, I want you to really fi x it," said Ann Romney repeating what she told Mitt Romney. "We're not doing this for nothing."

Romney's campaign theme song is "Born Free" by Kid Rock, which seems somewhat of an unlikely blue collar choice for such a white collar man. A reporter asked Romney about his favorite music.

"I have about 1,500 songs that I play in a rotation," said Romney. "Some of my favorites are from Roy Orbison, Clint Black, of course The Beatles, Nat King Cole, Louie Armstrong, the Rolling Stones. It's a wide array of country and early rock. I also have the Killers, which is a more recent band."

The money will cover 75 percent the costs for the dumpsters in Transvale Acres immediately follow-ing the storm.

The town put dumpsters in Transvale to aid with the cleanup after the neighborhood was hit with the worst fl ooding in years.

In the days following the storm Gov. John Lynch called Transvale Acres the worst hit place in the state. “I think this is becoming the number one pri-ority,” he said.

It’s now more than three months later, and though Conway’s infrastructure was largely spared, the bills associated with the cleanup are coming due.

The quick federal response, therefore, has offi cials pleased.

“It’s kind of amazing, wasn’t it?” selectman Michael DiGregorio said.

“It is amazing,” Sires said.The $16,908 reimbursement for the dumpsters

is just part of nearly $60,000 in federal funds the town has received. The town got $28,000 to repair Hussey Field, work that was mostly done by town crews. Conway also got more than $4,000 for repairs to Chataque Road and $10,000 for other repairs and equipment.

The town’s portion for those expenses comes to $19,844, but some of that has been offset by a gift from a local non-profi t.

At the same meeting, just minutes after the public hearing closed, the selectmen accepted a $1,000 con-tribution from Vaughan Community Services.

The money was donated to help the town close the gap between the $16,908 federal contribu-tion and the $22,535 dumpster tab, Sires told the selectmen.

It is unclear, however, what Conway’s the fi nal tab for the storm will be.

FEMA from page one Police seeking public's help in toddler beating case

ALBANY — Authorities are asking the public for any information about the family, home life and people who may have been connected to the family of the 2-year-old severely beaten early last week.

Offi cials made the request without releasing any additional information about the incident, such as the names of the people involved or the address of the Golden Oaks home where the assault occurred.

“It’s a small community,” Carroll County Sheriff Chris Conley said, and the people who know this family know who they are. Those are the people authorities are hoping will come forward, he said.

The young boy, meanwhile, was still struggling four days after he was airlifted to Maine Medical Center in Portland.

“His condition has remained critical,” Conley said Friday. “He’s still in the hospital. We’re praying for his recovery.”

Police continue to investigate how the young boy wound up beaten so badly in the fi rst place, but early

BY ERIK EISELETHE CONWAY DAILY SUN

optimism that arrests would be swift has given way to a more protracted investigation.

“We’re kind of in a holding pattern,” Conley said, “but it’s not for lack of working on it.”

Authorities have still not said whether there is any connection between the assault and the man who lived in the same house as the child who was arrested earlier this week on a bench warrant. They are calling the assault “a domestic-related crime” and have said they are looking at a “person of inter-est,” but they have not identifi ed that person or made clear his or her relationship to the child.

Offi cials have also not identifi ed the child’s mother, who brought the boy to the hospital. They would not comment if she is connected with the assault, but her other children have been taken into state cus-tody.

The case has continued for days without any charges or arrests, but Conley is unwilling to leave it that way.

“We’re going to bring it to resolution,” he said.Anyone with information is urged to call Carroll

County Sheriff’s Department at 539-2284.

BERLIN — Two people were hospitalized as a result of a fi re that destroyed a Glen Avenue house late Christmas Day.

Berlin Fire Lt. Bill Maddalena said one of the occu-pants, Alan Alger, suffered severe smoke inhalation when he ran back into the burning building in an unsuccessful attempt to rescue a dog trapped inside. Maddalena said Alger, 46, was taken to Androscog-gin Valley Hospital in Berlin and later transferred to a hospital in Burlington, Vt. A second person, whose

Christmas night house fi re in Berlin sends two to hospitalname was not available, was also taken to AVH for smoke inhalation.

Maddalena said a neighbor reported the fi re at 456 Glen Avenue at 11:30 p.m. Christmas Day. He said when fi refi ghters arrived at the scene, the fi rst fl oor of the house was engulfed in fl ames and there was heavy smoke.

Maddalena said all of the occupants had gotten out of the building but Alger attempted to go back in to rescue the dog.

rival Kingswood Wednesday on the slopes of King Pine in East

Madison in what was the open-ing meet of the season for both schools.

The two schools did three races — two slalom and a giant slalom — for a total of six runs on the day.

In the fi rst slalom for the boys, Kennett took the top six spots for a 394-378 victory.

Matt Halupowski posted the two fast-est runs (29.72 and 29.3) to win the opening slalom in 59.02. He was fol-

lowed by Ben Garner, second, 59.51; Danny Nash, third, 61.05; Danny

Macdonald, fourth, 61.1; Tyler Eldridge, fi fth, 61.54;

Luke Tinkham, sixth, 62.0; Grant Meserve, eighth, 62.4; Adam Wright, ninth, 62.75; Thomas Chant, 10th, 64.08; Jon Saxby, 11th, 64.19; Matt Hill, 12th, 64.65; Nicholas Cole, 16th, 69.08; Kevin Brogan, 20th, 75.57; and Mike Knorpp, 26th, 91.08.

In the giant slalom, won by Ken-nett, 394-378, Halupowski took the top spot again in 58.67. Garner, who had the fastest fi rst run, was second, 58.68; Nash, third, 60.43; Macdon-ald, fourth, 61.39; Eldridge, fi fth, 61.74; Adam Wright, seventh, 62.02; Tinkham, eighth, 62.24; Meserve, ninth, 63.3; Saxby, 10th, 63.5; Chant, 11th, 63.54; Hill, 12th, 64.71; Cole, 17th, 69.04; Cal Bennett, 19th, 71.98; Brogan, 21st, 76.89; and Knorpp, 29th, 136.45.

In the afternoon slalom, Kennett won 394-378, Halupowski took fi rst in 57.53, followed by Garner, second, 58.47; Nash, third, 58.99; Wright, fourth, 59.66; Tinkham, fi fth, 59.99; Eldridge, sixth, 60.28; Macdonald, seventh, 60.77; Meserve, ninth, 61.15; Saxby, 10th, 61.16; Hill, 11th, 62.46; Chant, 12th, 62.99; Bennett, 17th, 69.74; Brogan, 20th, 75.77; and Knorpp, 27th, 104.83.

Kennett and Kingswood to remain in Division IV footballCONWAY — Kennett High and Kingswood will

continue their storied gridiron rivalry and compete each fall for the prestigious Carroll County Champi-onship Trophy after the latest realignment confi gura-tion from the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association’s Football Committee was approved Dec. 16. It will once again be a six division format.

The committee unveiled its new-look Division IV which features two new additions for the 2012 season — St. Thomas and Windham. Gone from the 2011 division are playoff team Mondnock and Mer-rimack Valley.

The new division is based primarily on enrollment with Kennett having the largest student body pop-

ulation with 857 students followed by Kingswood (799), John Stark (762), Hanover (760), Lebanon (727), Windham (708), Plymouth (688), St. Thomas (643), Laconia (628) and Trinity (417).

Earlier this fall it appeared that by virtue of an increase in enrollment, Kennett was two students above the required number to slot into Division III football. Meanwhile, Kingswood, coming off back-to-back rough seasons, had petitioned to move out of Division IV down to Division V next fall.

The NHIAA’s football committee studies realign-ment every two seasons and had been working on a six division format again, but results will not be fi nalized until December.

Kennett petitioned to remain in Division IV, but the face of the division could have changed signifi cantly.

If Kingswood was granted its request to drop down to Division V, it would have joined Laconia, who was determined to move out of IV to V based solely on shrinking enrollment. Meanwhile, Trinity, who won the Division IV title, could have dropped all the way to Division VI, based entirely on its school population. The school end up petitioning to remain in Division IV.

“I really hope we can maintain the special rivalry with Kingswood some way, some how,” Mike Hold-erman, Eagles’ head coach, said. “… Nobody knows what’s what going to happen,” he said. “We’ll play whoever is on our schedule.”

Divisions I, II and III will remain nine-team leagues next fall. Divisions IV, V and VI will again

CONWAY — Jessie Wagner had a game to remem-ber on Thursday night and she proved to the Laco-nia girls basketball team that there’s more than just one sharpshooting guard in the Wagner household. Jessie made her older sister Allie, who was on hand for Thursday’s game at Kennett, both proud and even a little bit nervous.

Jessie Wagner scored a career high 23 points to lead the Eagles past the Sachems 45-28. In the pro-cess, she also drained seven three-pointers, many from NBA distance, to come within two of Allie’s school record nine in a game.

“If I had known she was that close would have left her in,” Larry Meader, Eagles’ head coach, said, laughing. “Jessie was defi nitely on fi re; she wasn’t even hitting the rim on most of them. The girls did a nice job getting her the ball and that’s the thing to do on night’s like that. I’m really happy for her; she’s worked hard on her game.”

After tickling the twine for a pair of free throws with 7:11 to play, Wagner left the game to a thunderous ovation. At the time she had outscored Laconia 23-20.

Wagner put Kennett in front 5:42 into the open-ing quarter when she drained her fi rst three-pointer from the the right wing. She added a second trey with 2:3 left in the opening period after making a sensation block of a Sachem shot at the defense end just seconds earlier.

Wagner buried three more three-pointers in the second quarter with 5:35, 2:54 and 2:19 to play in the fi rst half.

The sixth three-pointer came with 2:18 left in the third, and then the seventh came with 7:32 to play in the game.

Kennett led 12-4 after the fi rst quarter and got the lead to 28-10 at the half. the Eagles held a 40-19 advantage after three frames.

While Wagner led all scorers with a game-high 23 points, Casey Blakely added 8; Kaitlin “Shaq” Taylor, 4; Jordan Murphy, 3; Lauren Kidder, 2; Jordyn Moore, 2; Lauren White, 2; and Kendra Strong, 1.

Blakely also pulled down eight rebounds while White added six and Kaylin Samia, fi ve.

Meader was pleased with the win and glad to see the Eagles get a little more offensive.

“We had a conversation before the game,” he explained. “We averaged 64 shots per game last year and started out this season averaging just 46. Against Laconia we put up 73 shots. You have to fi gure nine or 10 of those were ill-advised or rushed shots, so if you take those out we’re right where we want to be.”

The win lifted Kennett to 2-2 in Division II head-ing into Christmas while Laconia slid to 0-4 in divi-sional play.

“I’d hoped we’d be 3-1 at the very least,” Meader said, “but we could easily be 4-0 instead of 2-2. Even though we lost two games, I feel like we gained some things from being in close games.”

The lone blemish on an otherwise successful night came with 45 seconds left in the fi rst quarter. Kidder scored on a nice put-back but then went down in agony with a severely twisted ankle, which should, according to Meader, sideline her for a week to 10 days.

The ankle left Kidder on the bench for the annual Mike Lee Basketball Bash which tipped off in Farm-

ington yesterday afternoon. The Eagles opened play against Nute (0-4 in Division IV) and breezed 50-17 victory. KHS led 12-5 after the fi rst quarter; 32-10 at the half; and 46-10 after three periods while holding Nute scoreless for eight minutes.

Kennett, the defending tournament champs, is

guaranteed a minimum of three games this week and even a fourth if it reaches the title game. The Eagles are slated to play Woodsville (5-1 in Division IV) today at 3 p.m.; and then Pittsfi eld (6-0 in Divi-sion IV) tomorrow at noon. The fi nals are Thursday at 5 p.m.

CONWAY — The Kennett High boys basketball team battled back from another slow start Thursday to carry a slim lead into the fourth quarter at Laconia before the Sachems went on a late run to pull out a 57-47 victory.

The win marked the fi rst of the season for Laconia, who improved to 1-2 in Division II while Kennett remained winless, falling to 0-3 going into the holidays.

“We started off absolutely cold as ice,” Steve Cote, Eagles’ head coach, said. “The good news is we were attacking the basket and being offensive, but we just couldn’t get anything to fall. We started to fi nd some offensive rhythm in the second quarter when Seth Davison really gave us a lift by hitting back-to-back three-pointers.

“We did a nice job in the second and third periods of getting back into the game and actually outscored Laconia 38-29 during that time,” he continued. “We actually went ahead by two late in the third.”

Kennett switched defenses in third quarter going to full-court man-to-man pressure and it paid dividends instantly creating Laconia turnovers.

“Our half-court trap has always been our bread and butter,” Cote said, “but changing things up really made a difference.”

Cote said the Eagles got a little rat-

Sachems rally to top KHS, 57-47tled down the stretch as it marked their fi rst time in a close ball game late.

“We were lacking the experience of being in this sort of situation to understand the importance of time management, preserving a lead and protecting the basketball while Laco-nia tried to speed up the play,” he said.

“Every single game we’ve played so far we’ve been able to take some-thing away from it and build on.” Cote continued. “Against St. Thomas, we learned that we must be mentally pre-pared every night. Against Plymouth, we learned we can’t let a tam impose their will on us. And against Laconia, we learned it’s all about staying in the game and learning to protect every possession.”

Cote said of the Eagles, who were led offensively by Robert Starkey, Jordan Stocker and Davison, he sees things slowly starting to click.

“We used to 10-12 players once again and are still looking for the right combinations,” he said. “I see it getting better and better but it will take some time for us to get where we want to be.”

Kennett was aggressive on the night, shooting 25 free throws com-pared to just seven in the Plymouth game.“To me that means being more aggressive and attacking the rim,” Cote said. “Despite the loss to another rival, overall our kids worked their tails off.”

Nine Kennett High football players earn All State honorsCONWAY — The Kennett High foot-

ball team had nine athletes receive Division IV All State accolades when the roster was announced earlier this month, including three boys on the First Team.

“We did well,” Mike Holderman, Eagles’ head coach, said. “I’m proud of all of them, they’re very deserving.”

Selected to the All State First Team were senior Michael Lautenschlager as a defensive back and Kennett’s leading wide receiver; senior Dustin Stewart at linebacker where he was a tacklign machine; and junior Nick Massa at running back, who gained over 1,000 yard and led the team in points scored.

Six Eagles earned All State Hon-orable Mention laurels. They were senior Jesse Wheeler at quarterback, who took every offensive snap and


threw for over 1,000 yards; senior Connor Gillette on special teams as a kicker/punter; senior Cody Richard at guard where he was rock solid; senior Austin Weber on special teams as a kick returner; senior Ryan Cottrell at defen-sive end; and junior Conor McDonald, who missed half of the season but was such a factor in games he played as a disruptive force at linebacker.

The Eagles fi nished the 2011 season with a 5-4 record and just missed out on a playoff spot. They once again retained the Carroll County Champi-onship Trophy by topping arch-rival Kingswood, 42-21.

“We had some health issues again this season,” Holderman said. “We’ve got to fi gure out a way to stay healthy and to snap this 5-4 streak. We want to be a playoff team every year, that’s the goal.”

Eagles’ head coach Laurel Zengil-owski was pleased with the perfor-mance of the Kennett boys and girls.

“It was defi nitely a great fi rst day for Kennett skiing,” she said. “Matt and Ben really held strong through-out the day at one and two, but were consistently followed by a super com-petitive group including Danny Nash, Danny Macdonald, Tyler Eldridge, Lucas Tinkham, Adam Wright and Grant Meserve.

“For the girls,” Zengilowski said, “Welchie and Elyse were dominant holding one and two throughout the day. Faye Roberts, Brooke Lemerise and Molly Van Deursen were also very consistent in the top fi ve.”

The Eagles are slated to return to the slopes again when they return to school next week.

“Things are looking good for us as we head into our fi rst home meet, Cran-more on January 6 when we will ski against Plymouth, Kingswood, John Stark and Laconia,” Zengilowski said.

Jacquelyn L. (Pimentel) Smith, 65, of Center Conway, went peace-fully to heaven with friends and family by her side on Dec. 22, 2011 after a courageous seven-month battle with cancer. Jackie was born April 17, 1946 in Somerville, Mass. to Victor and Flor-ence (Barter) Pimen-tel. She attended Cohasset schools where she was a standout athlete. She earned varsity letters in softball, basketball and fi eld hockey as an eighth grade student. She earned a teaching degree from Eastern Naza-rene College and started her passion for helping adolescents as a teacher in the Boston schools until the birth of her daughters.

Jackie continued her love of teach-ing when she founded and became the director of the Brown Church Pre-School in Conway. While teach-ing, she also shared her love of ath-letics as a fi eld hockey, softball and girls basketball coach at Kennett High School and Junior High.

For the past 13 years she has worked as Fryeburg Academy as a director of the transition program and a college counselor. While she was working at the academy she earned her Masters Degree in coun-seling and continued to expand her education. Jackie was very involved and loved working at the academy

and she thought of everyone there as her second family.

Jackie enjoyed many activities such as hiking, cross country skiing, kaya-king, volunteering at the humane soci-ety, walking in road races, reading, gar-dening, and spending as much time with her family as possi-ble. She adored her two grandchildren as much as they adored her. Vacationing with her children and grandchildren in Bar Harbor brought

her great joy.She is survived by two daughters

Victoria Laracy and her husband Mike of Conway and Jennifer Smith and her fi ancé Charles O’Donnell of Portsmouth; two grand-children Collin and Katie Laracy of Conway and her brother, Victor Pimentel and his fi ancé Louann Blackburn of Boxford, Mass.

Conrad K. Eastman, 80, of Fryeburg passed away on Tuesday, December 20, 2011, at his home. He was born in North Conway, son of Harry K. and Leura Hill Eastman. After graduating from Frye-burg Academy in 1948, he went to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where he earned a degree in chemical engineering and later completed a mas-ters degree in engineering administra-tion from Washington University in St. Louis.

After his U.S. Navy service during the Korean War, he spent 16 years with Monsanto Company. In 1971 Conrad returned to Fryeburg, and three years later became a partner in Western Maine Nurseries, a business his father had helped run since 1938. During this time he served a term as vice-president of the Maine Christmas Tree Asso-ciation. He retired from the nursery in 1997.

Conrad was devoted to the whole Mount Washington Valley community. He volunteered his time and talents to a number of local organizations, including the Mount Washington Valley Economic Council, the Mulford Fund committee, Fryeburg Regional Airport Authority, Rotary and town committees. In recent years he spent many happy hours at the Fryeburg Fair as its Treasurer and a Trustee. But perhaps his greatest imprint was made on Fryeburg Academy. In 1986 he was elected to the board of trustees and a few years later began 11 years as its president. During his association with the academy he saw the build-ing of the Harry K. Eastman Science Center, the Bion T. Cram Library, the Gibson Athletic Center and Ada Cram Wadsworth Arena and the Leura Hill

Eastman Performing Arts Center. A high school state cham-pion runner, he took great interest in the Academy track and cross-country teams, and shortly before his passing he made sure the new renovation of the academy track was installed accord-ing to Maine scho-lastic track and fi eld

standards and fenced for protection.In addition to all of these contributions

to the community, Conrad found time to serve his church in many capacities. And it gave him much joy to support his children, grandchildren and nephews in their academic, extra-curricular and professional activities. Sarah never had to worry about his fi nding a hobby to keep him busy in retirement.

Conrad was predeceased by his fi rst wife, Sylvia Ann, and his brother Clyde. He is survived by his wife Sarah of 45 years; three children from his fi rst mar-riage, Cynthia Rae Eastman of San Luis Obispo, Calif., William K. East-man of Winter Springs, Fla., and Peter Y. Eastman of Cape Coral, Fla.; Conrad and Sarah’s daughter Sandra Nager of Daphne, Ala.; his sister Diane Powell of Federal Way, Wash.; his brother Ste-phen Eastman of North Chatham; six grandchildren and two great grandchil-dren.

A celebration of Conrad’s life will be held in Fryeburg in the spring of 2012.

Memorial contributions may be made to First Church of Christ, Scientist, 35 Portland Street, Fryeburg, 04037 or to Fryeburg Academy, 745 Main Street, Fryeburg 04037.

Arrangements are made with Wood Funeral Home, Fryeburg, Maine. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.woodfuneralhome.org.

For the past seven years, Friends of the Effi ngham Library have put on this craft

fair to raise money. FEL has used this money for shelving, books and other needs of the library not necessarily covered under town budget.

Magnetic Moon Fairs and Festivals is a local company who plans and promotes sev-eral events throughout the year, and donates money to charities from each event. It is their way of giving back to the community.

JACKSON — The Grand Central Academy of Art in New York City has chosen Jackson as the site its upcoming Hudson River Fellow-ship next summer, and is currently accepting applications to the pro-gram.

The Grand Central Academy was created by professional, exhibiting artists to offer classical training to serious students. The academy is a center for the revival of the classi-cal tradition. The academy sponsors a Hudson River Fellowship for land-scape artists. Each year the winners (approximately 20) get free lodging and instruction for a month of plein air painting. In the past, the fel-lowship winners have gone to the Catskills in New York, home of the Hudson River School painters. This year the academy is partnering with

the Jackson Historical Society to bring 20 accepted students to Jack-son from July 16 to Aug. 10. The soci-ety has arranged lodging in Jackson and will provide space for the artists to show their paintings and to meet for lectures and critiques of their work. At the end of their stay, the society will have an exhibition of the fellow's work.

The curriculum consists of three primary components: fi eld studies, theory, and studio painting. Erik Koeppel, past Hudson River Fellow and Jackson resident, will be one of the instructors. For more infor-mation on Hudson River Fellow-ship and to make an application for this program, visit www.hudsonriv-erlandscape.com/about.html.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be working in a group, throwing out ideas and trying to fi gure out how to go forward together. When an idea is right, it’s right. Everyone in the room knows it. People feel it. So don’t settle for less than that feeling. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Work-ing effectively toward a long-term goal means sometimes forgoing opportu-nities for pleasure and fun. However, chances are that the things you fi nd truly pleasurable are very much in line with your goals today. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll have augmented powers of self-con-trol. When you run into roadblocks, you’ll be able to relax and come back to the issue at a later time. This beats getting upset. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Don’t punish yourself just because you are not performing at an optimum rate. It’s normal for your productivity to ebb and fl ow. You’ll be most successful when you let it happen naturally. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll do things spontaneously when you think of them. This is how you’ll get a million things done in one day, quite literally, depending on the level of detail you account for. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is some debate as to whether or not posi-tive thinking really makes you healthier. Even if it doesn’t, isn’t life a lot more pleasant for the sunshiny effort? Your friends think so, and they appreciate your smile, too. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Windows of opportunity are always opening and closing. You’ll get more than one, but no two opportunities are ever the same. Knowing this, you’ll be eager to take advantage of what appears to be a

decent deal. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The fear of striking out will not keep you from stepping up to bat. You’ll make your play, and if it doesn’t work the fi rst time, you’ll try it again and again. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As much as you’d like to sit back and relax today, a little bit of the right kind of stress will be undeniably positive for your life. You’ll sparkle when there’s some pressure on you to perform. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Visual clutter produces mental clutter. Don’t let unimportant and unorganized things bog down your life. An hour of cleanup will be worth three additional hours of productivity before the week is up. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll start and fi nish a project right on time. It’s not because you are trying so hard to be punctual, but because you real-ize how much simpler life can be when everyone sticks to the agenda. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There may be something going on that makes your mental environment more interest-ing than your physical environment. You’re no stranger to getting lost in dreams, and you’ll fi nd today’s fanta-sies to be quite adventurous. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 27). Your structures and traditions may be transformed over the next three months. In April, you’ll feel settled into your new groove. You’ll look back in amazement at all you’ve accomplished in a matter of weeks. Computers, com-munication and writing fi gure into your fi nancial gains in March. May is roman-tic. Pisces and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 20, 4, 17 and 50.

DEAR ABBY: As a clinical psychologist, I believe your advice to “Protective Mom in the Midwest” (Oct. 26) was oversimplifi ed. You told her she was right in not permitting her husband’s brother, a registered sex offender, to visit the family during the holidays. She didn’t want her 10-year-old daughter around him. You have made the common mistake of seeing everyone who carries the “registered sex offender” label as alike. They are no more alike than are people who drink too much. Some alcoholics get drunk, angry and violent, but most do not. Some sex offenders act like Ted Bundy, but most do not. Some are guilty only of having a younger girlfriend. Many do not directly injure anyone because they only download illegal sexual images. Some do not use force, threats or physical violence. I do not minimize what they do. They all have a mental illness and/or addiction and need in-tervention and treatment. Mom and her husband should talk to the brother about what he did and what kind of rehabilitation has occurred. They can then make a better decision about a visit and what safety measures might be appropriate. -- DR. WILLIAM S. IN MIAMI DEAR DR. S.: Your point about lumping all sex offend-ers together is well-stated. Another reader pointed out that something like urinating outdoors could result in this classi-fi cation. However, most readers agree with me that the safety of the 10-year-old must be the primary concern. Their com-ments: DEAR ABBY: Stand your ground, “Protective Mom”! As a victim of abuse, I can tell you that the abuser is sick. She should not leave it up to her daughter to fi nd out if the uncle could still be a predator. My stepfather’s abuse 30 years ago was never reported to the police. He supposedly got “counseling” and was “a changed man.” Well, he’s currently serving prison time for having molested his granddaughter a year and a half ago. --

KNOWS THE SCORE IN ANAHEIM, CALIF. DEAR ABBY: If Mom allows Jake in the house, local child protective authorities will consider it failure to protect the child, putting the girl at risk of being removed from the home. I am a former child protective worker who went to homes to inform parents of this. I also had to keep my own daughter away from my former in-laws because they allowed a sex of-fender to visit while she was there. It was diffi cult being the only one willing to stand up for her safety, but I will never regret knowing I did everything I could to keep my daugh-ter safe. -- ANOTHER PROTECTIVE MOM IN NEW ENG-LAND DEAR ABBY: All children should be educated as early as they can understand about issues of trust. Mom will have to watch her daughter every second Jake is around, but she shouldn’t deny her husband the right to have his family come for the holidays. Perhaps he could arrange for his brother to stay at a hotel. Mom can’t be with her child 24/7, so kids need to know how to handle adults who are dangerous. -- GLORIA IN CLEVELAND DEAR ABBY: I am a sex offender and have learned through therapy why I did what I did and how to not go around where “it” may happen again. Would Jake even accept an offer to stay over? If he’s like me, he’d say, “Thanks, but no thanks,” and not put himself in a situation where someone could cry rape or accuse him of unwanted fondling. -- MOVING ON DEAR ABBY: We have a registered sex offender living in our neighborhood. Despite the fact that I have young chil-dren, I am not concerned that he presents a threat. When he was 19, he had sex with a 17-year-old girl. He was tried and served his time, but he now gets to spend the rest of his life on “the list.” If he had been 40, or the girl 12, I’d be concerned. Without knowing the particulars of the crime, it seems rash to sentence Uncle Jake to family purgatory. -- ANDY IN LOUI-SIANA

sion line from the turbines to the substation. Decker said the project was able to reduce the need for guide wires by utilizing the right of way as part of the corridor. Transmission wires along the ridge line were buried.

Six miles in on Dummer Pond Road is the opera-tions/maintenance building and substation for the project. The full-time crew will work out of the maintenance building. Two Snow-Cats have been purchased and are on-site to allow the crew to do maintenance and preventative work during the winter.

The 12-acre yard around the building and substa-tion, which was used as a staging area for the tur-bines and equipment, will be restored next spring with plantings.

Noting the project was constructed in less than a year, Decker said it was both a well-coordinated project and a big team effort.

Despite the tight schedule, Decker said safety was a top priority. At the time of the tour, he noted the project had gone 263 days without a lost-time acci-dent.

Asked for a fi nal project cost, Smith-Galvin said it was within the industry average of between $2 mil-lion to $3 million a megawatt or $198 million to $297 million for the 99-megawatt wind farm.

She said GRP has contracts for over 80 percent of the power that will be generated by the project – it has been previously announced that both Cen-tral Vermont Power Service and Green Mountain Power will purchase a majority of the power pro-duced. Smith-Garvin said the reminder of the power will be sold into the New England Power Pool’s open market.

Smith-Galvin had no comment on a New York Times newspaper article that estimated the wind farm had received so many federal subsidies that they covered 48 to 80 percent of the price of the proj-ect, which the article placed at $229 million.
