After 6 years on school board & 6 years on selectboard, it's time for some travel
GILFORD — After serving as an elected official for 12 years, on March 12 Selectman Kevin Hayes will chair his final board meeting.
Hayes, who served for six years on the Gilford School Board and six years as a selectman, chose not to seek re-election for an additional three-year term.
"I have absolutely loved being a selectman," Hayes said last week as he read through one of his final packets of information before one of his final meetings.
In the past 12 years Hayes has seen Gilford through some trying times, like three police chief changes, as well as some prominent successes, like the clean up of lower Liberty Hill.
"When I first ran in 2008, were were doing a site study at Liberty Hill," he said.
"It's taken six years to get here," he said. By here he means that nearly 10 years after a natural gas company notified the N.H. Department of Environmental Services about a forgotten toxic coal tar dump site and six years of working with the state and the various entities deemed legally responsible for the toxic waste, site remediation is slated to begin in the spring of this year.
"We've also been able to control the growth of town government and keep the tax rate level over the past six years," he said, recalling having to make some very painful decisions about eliminating positions, not giving raises, redefining some of the duties of existing employees, and not filling empty positions as a way of keeping the costs of government down.
Hayes said he believes that under his watch, Gilford has hired a great town administrator and a great finance director and under the board's guidance, the town has prospered without overspending. He also said it was challenging to go through two police chiefs but said, without tipping his hand, that he is confident the board has had three excellent choices to take over the department and hopes to name a new chief within a week.
He remembered that the day after he was first elected selectman, the former board fired former Town Administrator Evans Juris.
"What the hell did I get myself into," he said was his first thought, adding that since then the town went through two interim town administrators before hiring Scott Dunn.
Another challenge, he recalled, were the issues the town faced over the former Kings Grant Inn night club.
One of his biggest ongoing concerns is the recent increase in drug abuse and the crime that comes with it. Hayes serves on the Gilford Alcohol and Drug Task Force and hopes the new Board of Selectmen will allow him to continue on as the selectman's representative to the task force.
Reflecting on his time on the school board, Hayes said he was a member of the board during the time when the Middle School built. He was one of the members who opposed building in the Gilford Meadows but was outvoted by his fellow board members.
"I think we have a very good model in the schools right now," he said, saying he like the idea of having all three school close together and virtually sharing one campus but yet able to keep the younger children (the fifth graders) at the middle school separate from the older children.
He said he worked very closely with some people during the building process who really didn't want to spend the money on the school but said the board and the some of the naysayers on the Budget Committee came up with a school building plan that would get everybody's support.
Looking forward, he said he is "cautiously optimistic" that the proposed police station expansion and renovation is passed at the March 11 town vote.
"I would have liked to see it done five years ago," he said.
When asked what he would miss about being selectmen, he said he would miss the town employees the most, followed closely giving the speech at the Memorial Day celebrations and marching in the Old Home Day parade.
"I won't miss the time commitment," he said.
As for his future, Hayes, who is a civil engineer, says he plans on working for another four years but, because he runs his own business, hopes to incorporate a little more travel time with his wife Pam into their near future.
"We love to travel," he said, saying he and Pam spent a few weeks traveling in France last year and had a wonderful time. "We really want to do more of that."
He said he wants to spend as much time as he can being outside and enjoying long-time family pursuits of walking, skiing, hiking and biking. He also likes going to his alma mater, UNH, and watching their hockey games.
When asked what he was most proud of in his years of service, he said it was the great inter-municipality working arrangements Gilford enjoys.
"We have no border wars," he said.
"I'll really miss it," he said, adding that he hopes that if the new board has any questions about anything they wouldn't hesitate to call.

At the moment, all roads that lead to wood pellets appear headed for Meredith
MEREDITH — The winter that won't go away has placed a significant stress on the wood pellet supply across the Lakes Region, as it has throughout all of New England, and last weekend saw many retailers in the area without a single bag of pellets available for people looking to stock up in anticipation of another blast of arctic air moving through the area.
Typical of those out searching for pellets were Patti and Andy Johnson of Northfield, who went to a half dozen places in Tilton, Belmont and Laconia area before finally locating some at EnergySavers atop Ladd Hill on Rte. 3 here.
''We go through about two bags a day and were really getting low. We were able to get 10 bags and feel that we were really lucky to find them,'' said Johnson.
The Johnsons weren't the only people who sought out wood pellets at EnergySavers that day according to Joe McClure, who works there. ''We had people from all over, Maine, Vermont, even as far away as Rhode Island show up Saturday to buy pellets,'' said McClure.
He said that the company got a 10-ton shipment of 30-pound bags last week and is limiting customers to 10 bags at a time in order to have some on hand for those who may need them until a 30-ton shipment they have on order arrives next week.
On Monday, Kim Bannon of Campton arrived at EnergySavers in mid afternoon and picked up 10 bags of wood pellets to make sure that she had enough to get through the winter. ''We get a couple of tons a year and we're getting low and want to make sure we get through the year. We have oil heat but we'd rather not use if we don't have to,'' said Bannon.
''It's been a really cold winter. People who normally go through three tons a year are deep into their fourth ton or starting their fifth ton. We usually have a good supply year round as a service to our customers who don't have storage space, so we're in pretty good shape,'' says McClure.
He said that many of the larger retail outlets have run out because they are in the process of shifting to their spring inventory and don't want to have any pellets left over once the heating season ends.
Demand is still high all over the state according to McClure, who said that he had talked with people at a North Conway store who received a shipment of 17 tons of pellets last Friday and were sold out by noon on Saturday.
Charles Nieibling of Innovative Natural Resource Solutions of Amherst, a consultant with New England Wood Pellet in Jaffrey, where he was general manager for seven years, says that the company produces 250,000 tons of pellets a year and runs seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
''We build up a huge inventory built up during the summer and it was completely gone by the middle of November. We're shipping everything as we make it. There's no extra inventory,'' said Niebling, who says the company allocates its production to try and ensure that all of its regular customers get a supply.
He said that in recent years consumers have shifted from buying a large supply of pellets in the spring to smaller and more frequent buys during the heating season.
''They could drive into places like Lowe's and Home Depot on Saturday when they started to run low. But with this winter's big demand, places like that have run out,'' said Niebling, who points out that heating oil and propane prices have risen and that there have been concerns about possible shortages for those energy sources.
Kim Bannon of Campton holds a 30-pound bag of wood pellets, one of 10 that she was able to purchase Monday at EnergySavers in Meredith. Joe McClure of EnergySavers said that people from all over New England showed up at the store Saturday to buy wood pellets, which are in scarce supply over the entire area.

Defense lawyer alleges Belmont stabbing victim is a drug dealer
LACONIA — After a hearing in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division yesterday, a judge found there was probable cause to send the case against Robert Rama for physically restraining someone who was trying to come to the defense of a Belmont stabbing victim to a grand jury for indictment.
Rama, 22, formerly of Concord, is charged with out count of criminal liability of another for allegedly choking Corey Cromwell's girlfriend, Natasha Bruce, when she went to help break up a fight between Cromwell and John Drouin.
Drouin, 26, is charged with one count of first-degree assault for allegedly stabbing Cromwell eight or nine times on February 24 at just after 1 a.m. He faces a second count of first-degree assault for allegedly stabbing John Hynes three times during the same altercation.
The alleged stabbings occurred in what was described as a common hall that led upstairs to at least two small apartments above Lakes Region Dock — a business that is closed for the winter. The state has alleged that Rama and Drouin waited for Cromwell, who lives in the apartment, by hiding in a common bathroom at the top of the stairs.
According to Belmont Det. Raechel Moulton, who was Asst. Belknap County Attorney Carley Ahern's, only witness at yesterday's probable cause hearing, a video and audio tape obtained from Cromwell's apartment at 252 Daniel Webster Highway (Rte. 3) and installed by Cromwell shows Cromwell, Hynes and Bruce leaving the apartment at midnight on Monday.
Moulton said about an hour after the three left the video shows a car backing into a spot at nearby Bladecki's Auto and two men entering the door that leads upstairs to Cromwell's apartment.
She said a short time later, the video showed Cromwell, Hynes and Bruce arriving back at the apartment and reentering the building. Moulton also said she could hear a "commotion" on the tape after which the outside door opened and five people came out.
She said Hynes is heard on the tape saying "what do you want" and some one else was heard saying he "wanted the stuff."
She said the audio recorded a lot of "commotion" and the video appears at one point to show all five of them at the bottom of the stairs in the lighted hallway trying to exit back into the parking lot.
Moulton also said she could hear the names John Drouin and Robert Rama being spoken by someone on the audio portion, which is consistent with the information Bruce gave Moulton about who allegedly attacked them that night.
Moulton also testified that Bruce told her Drouin had the knife.
In a brief cross examination, Rama's lawyer Ted Barnes asked Det. Moulton if the three victims told her they were driving around aimlessly that evening, which was what was printed in the initial affidavit.
"You know that to be a lie?" he asked her, inferring that Bruce lied to police about what the trio was doing just before the attack.
Moulton answered that she didn't know (it was a lie).
"You haven't figured out they )the three victims) went to buy drugs?" asked Barnes, pressing, again inferring that if Bruce lied to her about what the three did before the attact, then she could be lying about Rama allegedly choking her.
He also asked Moulton if she knew whether Cromwell had a jewels in his apartment. She said he didn't.
"Isn't that the only reason Corey would have surveillance (or) was he was a drug dealer?" asked Barnes, noting that Cromwell had installed the video and audio surveillance in the hallway and the front door and it must have been for a good reason.
"I don't know," replied Moulton.
Barnes asked Moulton if Bruce told her Rama allegedly choked her and whether it was possible he was trying to extricate her from the fight.
"I was told she was being choked and not being helped," replied Moulton.
In closing, Barnes argued that Rama didn't do anything except not be helpful that night and the state hadn't met its burden of probable cause.
Carroll determined the testimony by Moulton was that Bruce was choked by Rama when she was trying to aid Cromwell. He ordered Rama's bail to be continued at $50,000 cash only.
The next step in Rama's case is that it will be presented to a Belknap County grand jury for possible indictment.
John J. Drouin has a probable cause hearing scheduled for tomorrow.
Probable cause is not a trial and is not an indication of guilt or wrongdoing. It is a hearing to determine whether or not there is enough evidence to proceed to trial in a Superior Court.

Lakeport fire consumes Lakeport garage & vehicle in it
LACONIA — Fire destroyed a detached garage, along with the car inside it, at 110 Belvedere Street in Lakeport yesterday morning.
Firefighters arrived around 10:35 a.m. to find the wood-frame garage engulfed in flame as thick black smoke drifted through the neighborhood. Although the fire was quickly brought under control, gasoline in the car continued to burn while the garage was shrouded in steam for some time.
Fire Chief Ken Erickson said that heat from the blaze broke a window in the house less than 10 yards away, but the fire did not reach the residence, which escaped damage apart from the broken window. The garage, the car and everything else in the garage was completely destroyed, the chief said.
Although Erickson declined to specify the cause of the fire, he said that the garaged car was on a battery charger when the fire broke out. He said that Lieutenant Chad Vaillancourt's crew was first on the scene, but since the department was engaged in training there was no shortage of personnel to fight the fire.

text: A Woman Doing Something Nice for Her Boyfriend? That's Sexist! by Lisa De Pasquale 26 Sep 2013 View Discussion Share This: I love this story about a New York Post reporter's blog, 300sandwiches.com. Stephanie Smith started the writing project when her boyfriend playfully said, "Honey, you're 300 sandwiches away from an engagement ring!" She's keeping track of each sandwich (she's up to 177) and posting delicious-looking photos. Naturally, some people have a problem with this. From her article in the New York Post: "Why would you ever do that when he is capable of doing for himself? What is this, the 1960s? So sexist," one wrote on Twitter. Eric took a few hits. One blogger called Eric a "less funny MegaDick version" of comedian Daniel Tosh. "MEN HAVE BEEN SOLVED BY ERIC THE SANDWICH WHORE," she continued. Another one even Photoshopped his head on the body of Gerard Butler from the cover of the movie "300." I stood in the background with the rest of the worker-bee Spartans. I saw Smith and her boyfriend on the Today Show this morning and they were adorable. The boyfriend gushed that he would marry her even if she never made him a single sandwich. Clearly, critics of their playful deal have their own relationship problems since they seem to view every interaction between a man and woman as transactional and conditional. As a single woman, I'll put this offer out there. If you're a mix of Bruce Campbell and Nick Offerman, I would be happy to make you 300 of any item (I'm really good at Italian and desserts) in exchange for an engagement ring.

Foods to enjoy at room temp/slightly warm
- kattyeyes Apr 26, 2009 02:29 PM
I just had a peanut butter truffle that was especially delicious since it was a little warm.
Cheese also tastes better when it's not right out of the fridge.
I love the first half of an avocado I eat since it hasn't been refrigerated.
While it's getting warmer (at least throughout most of the U.S.), what else benefits from getting a little warm before you eat it?
re: pikawicca
I'm surprised that you consider tabbouli an exception. I've always eaten it room temperature. Do you eat it chilled? Not heated, right?
This is such a great discussion. I come from an Italian family and cooking tradition. We prefer many vegetables and salads at room temperature. I especially hate ice cold salads, and I laughed yesterday at Macy's, because I saw a Martha Stewart salad chiller! Italians generally eat the green salad at the end of the meal, so I usually push my salad to the side when I'm dining out -- then fight off the wait staff until I'm ready.
I'd say that even raw, most vegetables and fruits taste better at room temp or warmer -- what about a fresh tomato pulled off the plant, still warm from the sun? Heaven.
re: Giuditta
Oh, speaking of Italian foods, add salami to my list!
And right there with you on the tomatoes.
re: Giuditta
When I lived in Italy last year I learned a lot about food, how to store it, and how to eat it. I was working with an opera company in Lucca (Toscany) and there were 6 of us musicians crammed into on apartment. We had one fridge and two sets of bookcases we used as shelves. Tomatoes, along with most vegetables and fruit, don't need to be refridgerated till after they've been cut. A suggestion: a great healthy snack is tomato with some olive oil and sea salt drizzled over it. Tastes great, especially when its hot outside. They don't believe in AC in Italy, and I don't either. Once you live w/o it you never miss it.
re: Giuditta
I'm with you on ice cold salads. And I hate fruit from the fridge. I always leave it out a while before eating.
Grain salads and such, I nuke a little to rewarm to temp. I have once or twice even set a salad in the micro for ten seconds tops to take the chill off. I'm weird....
re: im_nomad
There are a lot of fruits I love at room temp; grapes, tomatoes, bananas, but I also enjoy a cold, crisp apple (just had one with some room temp cheddar for breakfast), or a cold orange on a hot summer day. Most berries are better at room temp than refrigerated, IMHO, but I think most melons, especially canteloupe and watermelon, are far better chilled.
I'm surprised on one has mentioned bread. When I was a child, my mom bought a Salton "bun warmer" - it gently heated bread or rolls, not enough to get a crust or anything, just enough so that the butter melted easily. Warm bread with slightly cool butter - that was a treat!
re: im_nomad
But, with a nod to William Carlos Williams, there is just something absolutely right about a perfectly ripe plum fresh from the fridge.
re: jmckee
He was the happy genius of his family after all!
re: im_nomad
i'm with you on salad and fruits and veggies.
i'll throw them in the micro for 20-30 seconds just to take the chill off of them. no heating just room-temperaturizing.
re: Giuditta
Giuditta, your comment about fighting off the wait staff almost made me do a spit take! It's so true. Ice cold salads set my teeth on edge. And I like my soup to cool down a bit, so I take little spoonfuls of it throughout my meal. I've had to dive for my soup or salad many times. I have black raspberries in my yard that I wait all year to eat just standing right there and plucking them. They taste so much better when slightly warmed by the sun.
re: givemecarbs
givemecarbs...I would happily move into your backyard, as raspberries are my absolute favorite berry. There used to be a raspberry u-pick not far from my home a few years ago, and I would go with a friend on sunny days. We used to joke that they should have weighed us going in and out. :)
re: im_nomad
I'm smiling. You reminded me of growing up in rural Connecticut, and some folks covered their red raspberry bushes with cheesecloth nets to keep the birds away. My brothers and I would travel miles on our bicycles to find a tent and sneak in and gorge ourselves. Later at dinner, it was hard to explain to mom why our t-shirts looked like a Jimi Hendrix tye-dye.
re: Veggo
just yesterday I was talking with a co-worker about berries, and how picking berries with my family is one of my fondest childhood memories. we'd each be given a bucket or container depending on age, and when it was blueberries or raspberries (we also picked partridgeberries but those are sort of too tart that way), the ones in the bucket were pretty scarce, especially when we were little, and not serious enough about it. Pure joy.
We'd then picnic or boil up, and when we'd get home, i'd get a bowl of blueberries with carnation milk (from the can), and a sprinkling of sugar.
We ate just about everything that grew growing up, I remember hiding in what we thought we rhubarb bushes like you did as a kid, playing cubby and chewing "rhubarb"
re: kubasd
During the summer in MI I spent my summers at our lake home ... a neighbor down the lakefront had a huge garden (we did too) but he had raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and us peas carrots, rhubard, peppers, tomatoes, etc.
My friends and me would go to the garden and just snack on everything. Sooooo good.
re: tatamagouche
I'm with you on straight-from-the-fridge leftovers.
Zucchini. Slice it, saute it in olive oil until it's barely done, pile it on a plate, and eat it later at room temperature with grated parmesan and wedges of fresh lime. This brings out the flavor of the zucchini like no other method I know. With sliced tomatoes, good bread and butter, and wine this makes a good summer meal with nothing else.
Apples and CHEESE, for certain. I am not a vindictive person, and I don't mind if my revenge is also served warm.
A lot of desserts...pie, cake, cheesecake. I hate when they are served cold from the fridge at a restaurant.
I like most veggies hot. but lasagna I like more at room temp. Cheeses definitely at room temp. Fruits definitely at room temp or slightly chilled. Lets not forget some wines. Also Some Rice salads and some bean salads I like marinated and then served room temp as well.
re: Paulustrious
Totally agree about good beer.
I also like good pizza warm-ish, as well as dried sausage, cheese, even meatballs...
re: Paulustrious
I too second the room temp beer.
re: cuccubear
Maybe room temperature is pushing it a bit. But *cold* is used to disguise either flavour or lack thereof. And for many beers *cold* is better.
re: Paulustrious
Beer unless guiness, cold for me. Pizza. Heck I eat left over pizza for breakfast, always have, hot, warm or cold.
re: Paulustrious
I guess I don't really mean "room temp" if the room is 80 degrees...ick!
But agree that some beer is not always better ice cold. I remember my trip to Belgium in 2002. Went to the 200 Beer Circus and they were neither chilled nor warm, but cooled.
re: cuccubear
I second the some slightly chilled, FL, always warm :) We get sunshine and great temps but never slightly chilled beer. Down here just take the cooler to the beach and with the hot sun, 2 hours later you will have slightly chilled beer, lol.
I get Boddingtons Cream ale which I love, keep it in the fridge but admit I set it out a bit before I serve, just a slight warmer temp is better.
re: Paulustrious
good mention. I have friends that rave about having an ice cold beer during the summer, but give it to me from the tap, and not so ice cold.
I also prefer my red wine room temp, and my scotch neat.
re: im_nomad
definitely. scotch must be neat, red wine must be room temp, and good beer just a bit below room temp.
re: kubasd
Red wine should be served at cellar temperature which is significantly cooler then room temp.
re: KTinNYC
That is true, cellar temp :) No cellar temp in FL. Usually just chill for a few minutes in the fridge, not too long. Only way to get cellar temp here.
Funny, this just came up this weekend, as I was cutting into a honeydew to have with prosciutto, and I thought to myself, I'm really going to enjoy this first serving because the melon will be room temperature. Tomorrow I'll be eating it with cold melon, and it won't be as good. So I'd say I like my honeydew melon room temperature better than cold.
re: lisavf
"Tomorrow I'll be eating it with cold melon, and it won't be as good. "
Couldn't you just leave the cold melon out until it reaches room temperature?
I agree with you that most fruits are better at room temperature as it is more flavorful -- all with the exception of watermelon. I eat watermelon to be refreshed, and it tastes so much better cold.
re: Miss Needle
You're right, leaving the melon out until it reaches room temperature would work, except that I usually have prosciutto and melon for breakfast, and I would't want to leave it out overnight. Or if I decide to have it for a snack, it's usually an impulsive snack, not one I've planned.
I agree about watermelon - that's one fruit I prefer eating cold. So refreshing on a hot day!
Citrus in general and grapefruit in particular are better at room temp. And Belgian Ales are tastier when not served straight from the fridge.
Sashimi, but with hot gohan
Musubi and teriyaki
Fresh lumpia (Philippines)
Most sandwiches
Pastries, cookies, most pies, cakes
This is not really a food, but butter. I can't stand ice cold butter. How am I supposed to spread it when it is so hard? Anything that I use as a dip or spread I prefer to be at room temperature than just out of the fridge.
Grilled vegetables with olive oil, garlic and salt.
And I'm Italian and have found that I always enjoy any pasta with homemade tomato sauce much better at room temperature then hot from the pot!
I also often like my Thai leftovers more once they've come home and aren't hot...I taste the flavours better.
I like a lot of things room temperature rather than straight out of the fridge:
Salad (even pasta salad)
Hard boiled eggs

Just a day after a jobs bill cleared Congress, President Barack Obama is expected to sign it today.
After yesterday's vote in the Senate, Obama said he hoped the bill would be the first in a series of jobs packages. It includes $18 billion in tax breaks, and extends highway and mass transit programs through the end of the year. Some $20 billion will be pumped in ahead of the spring construction season.
There are estimates the bill will create 250,000 jobs, but those are considered optimistic. And the bulk of the hiring tax breaks will probably go to companies that were likely to hire new workers anyway.
The bill is financed in part over the coming decade by cracking down on offshore tax havens.

Low inventory continues to slow local salesMarch 6, 2013 @ 9:35 am (Updated: 9:58 am - 3/7/13 )
Local real estate agents are reporting that the market has officially swung to the sellers' side with demand for homes far outpacing supply.
While closed sales in February jumped more than 9 percent from a year ago and median sales prices are up 13 percent, low inventories are hampering activity, according to new figures from Northwest Multiple Listing Service.
"In my 37 years working in the real estate industry, I have never seen inventory this low," said Diedre Haines, regional managing broker for Coldwell Bank Bain-Snohomish County and a member of the Northwest MLS board of directors.
According to the NWMLS, the median price for single family homes (excluding condos) was $255,000, up about 11.4 percent from the year-ago figure of $229,000. Homes in King County commanded a median price of $365,000, rising from $308,125 for a year-over-year gain of about 18.5 percent.
Condo prices jumped 22.7 percent area wide (from $150,000 to $184,000) and more than 31 percent in King County, which accounted for nearly two-thirds of the transactions. Condos that sold last month in King County had a median selling price of $210,000; a year ago it was $159,950.
The number of active listings system-wide is down 29 percent from a year ago, with three counties reporting even more contraction: Snohomish County (-47.7 percent); King County (-45.3 percent); and Clark County (-44.7 percent).
Compounding the shortage is the fact that about one-fourth of the MLS inventory is classified as "distressed," meaning they are short sales or bank-owned. Such homes are sometimes in need of significant repairs or have prolonged transaction times, which may make them less desirable.
"The market is struggling to provide enough inventory for anxious buyers seeking to take advantage of low interest rates," said Dick Beeson, principal managing broker of RE/MAX Professionals in Tacoma. Also, he said, considering 25 percent of the selection is distressed, "It leaves some buyers with tough choices."

the only thing worse than mccains pandering is palins outright lies
DC Rower: Consider this. Alaska is taking federal money which could be used to fund federal projects, to build its roads and schools so that it can hand out $1200 checks to its citizens. This transfers what should be a state debt burden to the federal government. If these projects are important, then why isn't the state funding them? And for those who says those roads serve a federal purpose in acting as military infrastructure, the primary reason Alaska lacks roads is because they are largely non-viable there. The weather and geography of the state makes travel by boat and plane not only easier, but safer and cheaper.James_: A rose by any other name...Melas: One of the markers of Palin's career has been her heavy use of lobbyists. When she was Mayor of a town of 5,000 people, she spent so much on a lobbying firm in Washington that, when she left, it had a debt of $22 million. The reason she deserves part of the blame for this spending is because lobbyists she employed wrote much of the legislation.mel: The Economist never suggested heavy taxes for Alaska, just that maybe the state can pay for its own services if it detached itself from the federal teat a wee bit. AS to your assertion that the payouts increased because of less corruption, that is patently false. Palin, who has always been a friend of the oil companies, asked them to help her out by accepting a windfall tax last year on their increased profits; that means that Alaska renegotiated legislatively how much of the oil profits they get to keep. This was pure bread and circuses type stuff; give the voters a bigger check instead of new textbooks, schools, roads, ferries, hospitals, or something else that they actually need so that your approval rates will go up. Meanwhile, by reducing corporate taxes, she actually took money out of the state's coffers. Its almost as if she figured she could run Alaska entirely out of the U.S. Treasury.
RatWatcher - For the same reason that any state West Virginia gets tax revenues from coal. Also Bismarck111, the money that the government is giving back does belong to the people of Alaska. I don't see how giving this money back to the the citizens increases inflation considering they spend much slower than the gov. and decrease the velocity of money.
Why does Alaska oil revenue belong only to Alaskans, and not all of us? I'd like a dividend check! They did agree to be part of the US, right?
MelasChasm - Yes Governors of states or even the PoTUS can't vote on legislation. They can have congressmen or senators submit legislation on their behalf. But they can't approve or do it themselves. Cory in Alaska - I agree with everything with what you say about the money. Responsible governments don't give this money back to the tax payers which is not really theirs. That money is for their children and only be used to attract investment, build infrastructure to attract investment so that a state/country can have a sustainable economy after the oil/gas runs out. Given this type of money only creates dependency and inflation. It is surprising that there so few responses to this article, and about 500 in the Lexington article. Hmm very strange. I don't really care about her family problems, trooper gate and religious views. This article explains clearly that she is no reformer and her understanding of government financing is to have a ATM parked in front of her porch (oil money) and to lobbying Washington for money. I read about Palin months before she was selected. I was surprised John McCain would pick her. While packaging her as a new face is great, but John McCain and Palin packaging themselves as reformers is a lie and voters will eventually find out.
The article should have been named from pork to petrodollars and pork-barrels.
After a range of Alaskan-gates we have now its governor on the ticket, I will be hard for John McCain to play the small states activist leaning against a profligate woman – or a woman from a spendthrift state.
I believe Palin any different from former incumbents.
Actually most of the increase in federal dollars is directly connected to the growth of the U.S. military in Alaska. Should the federal government ignore the infrastructure connecting important military bases such as the road from Anchorage to Fairbanks? And fuel is an important economic engine so its infrastructure also needs to be protected and supported.
I know of no place where there are sales taxes outside of heavy tourist areas. The Economist attacks Alaska for having no real taxes and instead its giving out of funds from resource management. What an awful government, it should have 90% taxes instead (sarcasm). The dividend payouts give the government decent incentives as Alaskans watch it as they want those dividends (which belong to Alaskans) maximized. That is the reason Gov. and future VP Sarah Palin is so popular here, she has cut corruption which helped increase the payouts, the "old Boys" wanted to keep the old system going or keep the money for corrupt public spending.
The Economist really, really needs to hire a local Alaskan to be a correspondent.
After the bridge to nowhere was shot down by media attention, Palin decided to continue building the road that would connect it to the town of 8000 that was its destination. The reason? If she didn't waste the money on the road she would have had to return it to the federal government. Now we all get to pay for a road on a tiny island that dead ends on an empty beach. God bless fiscal conservatives
MelasChasm - you're right. You should blame Bush/Cheney and the Republicans who controlled congress for these numbers:
Federal spending as % of GDP according to Office of Management and Budget.
2000 18.4 Clinton's last year
2001 18.6 Bush/Cheney Republican Congress
2002 19.4 Bush/Cheney Republican Congress
2003 20.0 Bush/Cheney Republican Congress
2004 19.9 Bush/Cheney Republican Congress
2005 20.1 Bush/Cheney Republican Congress
2006 20.8 Bush/Cheney Republican Congress
2007 20.1 Bush/Cheney Democratic Congress
For all those confused folk who want to vote Republican because they still think it means small government.
This article goes on and on about how Alaska benefits from Federal government spending. While I personally think it is about time someone spoke up about the out of control federal spending, shouldn't the blame go to those politician who can actually vote against federal spending?
The last time I read the consistution, governors do not get to vote on federal spending decisions. Admittedly, my copy of the constitution is a few years old, and has not been updated to reflect new amendments written by the Supreme Court, but I think I would have heard some media stories about a decision that gives the governor of a state the ability of vote on federal spending bills.
A "windfall tax" is a retroactive tax on a company after it has done better than expected (that is, experienced "windfall" profits). Governor Palin adjusted Alaska's oil and gas revenue tax after a sweetheart deal with the oil companies negotiated by her corrupt predecessor led to a revenue shortfall. It's deceptive, dishonest, or just plain ignorant to call it a windfall tax of the form Barack Obama has proposed. Alaska owns its oil, but allows oil companies to extract it in exchange for revenue sharing (the tax). The shareholders of oil companies own the profits that Senator Obama proposes to steal--he has no respect for the sanctity of private property under capitalism.
As a working man in Anchorage, I can tell you that while the state receives plenty of money, many Alaskans are not able to take advantage. In Alaska, the "good old boy" system is the supreme ruler. Sarah Palin claims to be outside the system because she's a woman, but there are plenty of good old gals up here, too. Palin and her Mat-Su Valley cohorts are the real elitists in this area. These people brag about their rugged individualism while bagging every federal and corporate dollar they can. All of this happening while taking great care to see where every one of those dollars goes. We have extravagant construction projects with practically no opportunity for competition. If you don't know someone in the administration, forget about it.
The real reformer in this is Mark Begich. Check his record. Look into Mike Doogan and the democratic delegation in the State House. Sarah didn't pull off this miracle "reform" everyone is talking about by herself.
Palin and the political establishment placate us with the PFD (read free money). This year, under Palin's leadership, we are receiving and added bonus of $1200. Don't get me wrong, I'll take it as fast as the next guy, but it's real power is political propaganda. Why do you think Palin's approval rating is so high up here? George Bush should walk around with free cash and see how it affects his popularity.
Thank you, for the reality check as to what the Economy is really like in Alaska. I would hope that McCAIN will not be elected so that Palin can finish her term and then we can judge how successful she is when the Republican money is no longer flowing into the State.Gary/Golden/Colorado

While Exit Planet Dust's contributions to the big-beat canon have earned the Chemicals vanguard status, each album since their debut has been, in every sense of the phrase, an industrious exercise in button pushing. They mercilessly morphed one of Dig Your Own Hole's best and most accessible tunes -- the Beth Orton collaboration "Where Do I Begin?" -- into a dissonant mash of white noise and backpedaled beats, and have gracefully toed the crossover line with tracks like "Hey Boy, Hey Girl" and "Let Forever Be."
Come With Us, the duo's fourth full-length artist album, borrows more than a few psychedelic curios from its predecessor, Surrender. And why not? Surrender poured a solid foundation for the group, stealing the show at both Woodstock '99 and the first Coachella, and turning Beatles fans everywhere into grinning dance-music groupies. But it's very possible that Tom and Ed's new one might set off mild cases of déjà vu, having the same effect on its fans as the Amnesiac/Kid A phenomenon had on Radiohead devotees.
Both Surrender and Come With Us set out on well-plotted courses, commencing with funky, bass-driven calls to arms ("Music: Response" and "Come With Us") and obtaining closure with "Dream On" and "The Test," featuring ex-Verve front man Richard Ashcroft. The songs are still relentless and experimental, but the production has greatly matured. While Surrender's "Asleep From Day" (featuring Hope Sandoval) is replaced by Orton's sublime lullaby "The State We're In," the trainlike theme in "Asleep . . ." is expounded upon in the new "Pioneer Skies." The simple toy piano found at the beginning of Surrender's "The Sunshine Underground" reinvents itself on "Hoops," scaling to and fro over a wormlike bass explosion. Additionally, the Chems appropriate a recognizable patch from "Out of Control" and splice it into the end of "Come With Us," but a simple panning greatly enhances the tune. Though both records are incredible on their own, it wouldn't be a stretch to see them as opposite views from the same looking glass. If Surrenderwas a stunning body blow, Come With Usis a knockout punch to the face with a rhinestone-studded glove.

Any sense or feeling can be achieved using solid design principles and the know how to create the atmosphere of your dream landscape.
Design Tips
Add interest to your landscape by creating a focal point
A focal point, be it an interesting boulder or a feature planting, will give your eye a place to rest before moving on to the next area of your garden.

Teenagers driving with reckless abandon, it's a problem across the nation.
"I lost two family members in car accidents", said Bud Simpson.
Padric Scott said, "My friends brother died in a crash around here."
These Lincoln Trojans remember their loved ones who were killed in car accidents.
They're certainly not alone, Highway Safety and Motor Vehicle reports show more than 37,000 teens were involved in a traffic crash last year.
Florida's Governor is stepping up to curb this trend, declaring this week "Florida Teen Driver Safety Week".
Reports show inexperience and immaturity combined with a list of other distractions contribute to car accidents.
Bud Simpson who is a teen driver said, "It's a matter of life and death, when you get in the car and don't put on your seat belt or pick up your phone and start texting while eating a hamburger, it's such a bad idea."
So, this campaign is aimed at changing teens behavior and driving habits.
"Everyday we are working very hard to make sure teens understand how important safety is in the car", said Martha Bunch, Principal at Lincoln High.
"You have to realize your life is at stake, one simple mistake could be the end so why take chances, you can just drive safely, just cut out all chances of risk", said Padric Scott who is a teen driver.
Because odds aren't on their side, reports show teens are the demographic "most likely" to get in an accident.
The biggest reason for teen driver deaths: not wearing a seat belt.

text: Benghazi Islamist Preacher Calls for Strikes Against US Economy Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 19 Sep 2012 post a comment During a sermon in Benghazi just days after Ambassador Stevens' murder, a Libyan Islamic preacher called for Muslims to "destroy the rancorous Christians and corrupting Jews." Speaking from a city balcony on Friday, the man said: "The time has come for us to adopt a firm stance, and to detonate our wrath upon them, with deeds that they will not be able to ignore." He said this can be done by striking "them in their main artery," i.e, "their economy." He also went through a list of crimes and atrocities supposedly committed by the "rancorous Christians and corrupting Jews," adding that the only offense they had restrained from until that point was mocking Mohammed. It appears he now thinks that has happened too. The preacher mentioned a boycott as one way to hurt our economy. But he seemed more intent upon "wrath" and "deeds they will not be able to ignore."

The average household goes through at least one roll of paper towels a week. The costs can quickly add up, so you want paper towels that give you your money's worth. Consumer Reports ran
side-by-side tests to find the best
Patrick was distressed to find out that shortly after shopping at Target over the holidays, thieves were able to go to town and rack up charges on his American Express card.
Patrick says, "They were able to run up over four-thousand dollars on my American Express. Luckily, I didn't have to pay for any of the fraudulent charges."
American Express replaced Patrick's card. But there is still the danger that thieves could use the stolen information to try and get his Social Security number and then open new accounts in his name. Target says it is offering "peace of mind" against that threat with free credit monitoring from Experian. But Consumer Reports says that's not enough.
Margot Gilman of Consumer Reports says, "The problem is that each of the three major credit bureaus, Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian, can collect different information. So unless you're checking all of them, you can miss someone trying to steal your identity and open new credit."
Consumer Reports says data breaches are an ongoing threat.
To better protect yourself against ID theft and fraud … not only get credit reports from all three credit bureaus, but consider having them place a security freeze on your credit file.
Gilman says, "A security freeze is one of the best protections. It blocks access to your credit information and makes it more difficult for a crook to open a new account under your name."
And, of course, as Patrick does, routinely monitor your legitimate accounts for fraudulent activity.
Gilman says, "Be especially vigilant about your debit card. If it is compromised, thieves can raid your bank accounts."
That can create a cascade of issues, including bounced checks, extra fees, and cash-flow problems.
Consumer Reports says most of the security protections you can put in place yourself are free or low cost, so there is no need to get expensive data-monitoring services.
