News of pol's impending doom dead wrong By O'Ryan Johnson Tuesday, March 15, 2005 Reports of her looming death have been ``greatly exaggerated,'' said a former New Hampshire lawmaker who held a ``cremation party'' over the weekend to raise money for her funeral bills. The inaccuracy regarding the immediacy of her demise began, said Jane Kelley, 79, when the Portsmouth Herald covered her party and reported she had terminal nose cancer. ``They got that so wrong,'' said Kelley's daughter, Melissa Kelley. ``Nobody dies of nose cancer.'' Jane Kelley, a breast-cancer survivor with about 30 years at the New Hampshire statehouse, said she has no immediate plans to die. The party was meant as a sendup of recent New Hampshire political scandals involving the Governor's Council. Guests paid $25 to dine on dishes such as ``Curried Favor'' and ``Kickback Ribs,'' washing them down with ``Graft Beer.'' Kelley said when she is finally cremated - no rush, thanks - she wants her ashes spread in cranberry bogs so during holiday meals her family can say, ``Mom is on the sauce, or Mom is in the can.''
