be the first to admit I
don’t understand much of
what Cutty Eanks says, but I
like what I hear. The music is
enticing, slamming on occa
sion. His delivery is fluid.
“Hitman,” the remix of “A Who
Seh Me Dun” and “One Lick”
will have reggae aficionados in
dance heaven.
Ranks also invites a gaggle of
folks to sing along. Shaggy
makes an appearance on
“Waste A Time,” as does
Barrington Levy on “My
Woman.”
This will more than satisfy
Ranks’ fans and may pick up a
few more along the way.

No Stars Given - A
Mess.
Ski season so-so in New England
By Danielle C. Malka
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CONCORD, N.H. - Warm
weather and rain weren’t nec
essarily bad for business at
northern New England ski
areas this holiday season.
Though many resorts report
ed lower th^m usual turnout,
others said the warm weather
and soft snow made holiday
skiing feel more like spring
skiing.
And Jay Peak Resort in Jay,
Vt. reported an even better
holiday season than last year.
“We were probably blessed
with more snow than any
body,” said President and
General Manager Bill Stenger,
adding the resort received
eight inches of fresh snow at
the tail end of the big rain
storm the weekend between
Christmas and New Year’s.
“We were selling over 3,000
tickets a day,” he said. “Last
year everybody in the universe
had fantastic skiing so the
market was spread out all over
the place,” but this year the
resort attracted people
“searching out the good snow”
from all over New England
and eastern Canada.
Other resorts in New
Hampshire, Maine and
Vermont were less fortunate
snow-wise, but still managed
to make the most of what they
had.
A Sunapee Ski Area employ
ee said the weather didn’t
cooperate, but snow already on
the ground provided enough
coverage for people to have a
good time.
And while warm weather
and rain may have kept some
people away from the slopes
over the holidays, snowmaking
and grooming kept the slopes
ski-ready at most ski areas.
Workers said daily numbers
were dovm, but since the usual
one-week Christmas/New Year
holiday extended to two
weeks, overall numbers didn’t
dip too low.
“Since Christmas week was
stretched to two weeks, we
foimd a lot of families in the
area, and though each day was
not a gemg-buster day, overall
we fared well,” said Bretton
Woods Ski Area spokesman
Ben Wilcox .
“I wovdd have loved to have
seen a lot more people,” he
said. “I do think there is some
fear that there isn’t snow on
the movmtains because there
isn’t snow in the back yard.”
“They’re forecasting snow at
the end of this week,” he said
hopefully.
