KITTERY, ME – It comes as no surprise that

the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard has a significant impact on the economy of the seacoasts of southern Maine and southeast-ern New Hampshire, but the enormity of that impact can be overlooked.

The shipyard’s civil-ian payroll alone added some $421,805,454 to the economies in areas in which shipyard em-ployees live, according to an eco-

nomic impact statement released by the Seacoast Shipyard Asso-ciation.

Of that figure, $240,071,432 went to Maine workers and $154,507,162 went to New Hampshire residents.

Added to that was a mili-tary payroll of $41,146,559, goods and services purchased for $40,145,084, and contracted facility services of $158,648,624 for an overall impact in the area of nearly $661,745,000.

PORTSMOUTH – With the completion of the

Memorial Bridge that connects Portsmouth with Kittery across the Piscataqua River nearing completion, attention will be diverted to the Sarah Mildred Long Bridge which is also to be replaced.

That replacement is a shared effort between the Maine and New Hampshire Depart-ments of Transportation and is one aspect of the Three Bridge Agreement between the two states.

The third span that con-

nects the states is the Piscataqua River or High Level Bridge that carries Interstate Route 95.

The SML span, which was constructed is 1940, is part of the U.S. Route 1 bypass. It, like the Memorial Bridge, is a lift bridge.

The two states will share

the cost of replacement, which is currently estimated at $170 mil-lion. Design efforts are under way and the project is expected to begin in the spring of 2015, according to the Maine Depart-ment of Transportation,

Traffic has been detoured

from the Memorial Bridge in the city of Portsmouth onto the two other spans, including the SML. When that bridge closes, traffic will be routed onto the High Level and Memorial bridg-es and off the Route 1 bypass onto Market Street Extension

and onto Interstate 95. Albacore Park, located near the entrance to the SML bridge, is not expect-ed to be impacted by the closure.

Those involved in the proj-ect with Maine and New Hamp-shire Department of Transpor-tation include FIGG-Hardesty & Hanover for bridge design, Sebago Technics for roadway and general civil design, and GZA for geotechnical and hy-draulic design.

Cianbro has been selected as the contractor.

The bridge will be a center lift structure as is the Memorial Bridge and will include a bike path but, at this point, no walk-way for pedestrians is planned.

DOVER – A surgical team at Went-

worth-Douglass Hospital recent-ly performed the first da Vinci® Single-Site™ cholecystectomy in New Hampshire. The pa-tient’s gallbladder was removed through one tiny incision in the belly button, making the proce-dure virtually scarless.

Led by Dr. Patricia Auty, the team removed the gallblad-

der using Single-Site™ instru-ments on a da Vinci® System. The minimally invasive pro-cedure is traditionally called a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder). The standard laparoscopic cholecys-tectomy uses 3 to 5 small inci-sions to remove the gallbladder.

Single incision laparo-scopic gallbladder removal has also been conducted in the past but is difficult to perform, often adding time to the length of the procedure. Thus, single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy has largely been abandoned. Using Single-Site™ robotic assis-tance, surgeons are able remove the gallbladder through an inci-

sion of approximately one inch without adding to the length of the procedure.

The Food and Drug Ad-ministration cleared the special-ized Single-Site™ instruments for use with the da Vinci System in December 2011. da Vinci is a robotic surgical system widely used in complex minimally inva-sive surgery.

Robotic surgery and single-incision surgery are not new, but combining the two to remove the gallbladder requires additional training and special equipment.

DURHAM –Portsmouth photographer

Carl Austin Hyatt and anthropol-ogist Hillary S. Webb, Ph.D. will present a discussion on “Andean Ceremonial Celebrations” at the Museum of Art, Paul Creative Arts Center, UNH, on Saturday, March 23, at 2 p.m.

The program will be offered in conjunction with the current exhibition, “Sacred Landscapes of Peru: The Photographs of Carl Austin Hyatt,” and is open to the public free of charge.

“Andean Ceremonial Cel-ebrations” will focus on the prac-tices of Andean and shamatic cer-emonies, rituals and offerings. The ancient knowledge of how to honor and connect with the spirits of the land and the unseen world are very much alive in Peru, and this pro-gram will explore traditional ways of relating to the sacred.

Hyatt has been photograph-ing on the Seacoast for more than 25 years. He has bodies of work concentrating on portraiture, the figure and the natural world. His experiences with the natural world led him to explore how indigenous cultures see and understand the world. He has investigated indige-nous traditions on four continents but has been most drawn to the high Andean traditions of south-ern Peru.

PORTSMOUTH –The Gateway Gallery at

Great Bay Community College will present a new exhibit fea-turing the oil, pastel and water-color paintings of Pat Andreotti of York. Her work showcases images of New England, Italy, and other subject matter repre-senting her travels and experi-ences.

Her series, “A Journey through the Woods,” deals with the exploration of inner, psycho-logical spaces. They employ ele-ments of the external landscape and forms of trees as metaphors for psychic structures. Her paintings of Italy are presented through the theme of “Passag-es,” capturing doors, arches and alleys that lead to ancient un-known places that awaken ar-chaic memories that influence present journeys.

Andreotti’s work will be on exhibit at Great Bay Com-munity College from March 25 to May 10. The event is free and open to the public. An opening reception featuring music, wine and cheese will be held on Tues-

PORTSMOUTH – The sun will come out this

summer in Portsmouth when “Annie” debuts as the chosen musical for Prescott Park Arts Festival’s 2013 summer season.

FairPoint Communica-tions President Pat McHugh made the announcement of the selected musical for the festival’s 39th season at a recent reception at the 100 Club.

The festival is bringing the classic musical back to Prescott Park for the first time in 18 years. “Annie” tells the story of a young orphan girl whose personality and red hair win the hearts of many, including the wealthy Mr. Warbucks. Annie’s journey to find her family is not met with-out a struggle, however, against orphanage owner Miss Hanni-gan, and her crafty schemes to make it to Easy Street.

“We have a great director, Billy Butler, guiding the show, and are never disappointed by

day, March 26, from 5 to 7 p.m. For more information on

the reception or the exhibit, visit: www.greatbay.edu. The gallery is open during regular college hours and is free to the public.

This body of work is the result of more than 20 excursions in Peru since 1998. His work is in major museum collection such as the Currier Museum, The Smith-sonian Museum, The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and many pri-vate collections around the world. He is a 1996 MacDowell Colony Fellow.

He teaches indigenous and shamanic principles of energy, awareness and perception interna-tionally. The exhibition, “Sacred Landscapes of Peru: The Photo-graphs of Carl Austin Hyatt,” will remain on view at the Museum of Art, UNH, through March 28.

Dr. Webb is an anthropolo-gist, author and former managing editor of Anthropology of Con-sciousness, the peer-reviewed jour-nal of the Society for the Anthro-pology of Consciousness. Having received her undergraduate degree in journalism from New York Uni-versity, Dr. Webb went on to earn a master of arts degree in con-sciousness studies from Goddard College and a doctorate in psychol-ogy from Saybrook University.

She is the author of “Yanan-tin and Masintin in the Andean World: Complementary Dualism in Modern Peru,” “Traveling Be-tween the Worlds,” and Exploring Shamanism.

cally, the ease and precision is en-hanced over laparoscopic meth-ods due to the state of the art in-strumentation that the da Vinci System provides,” said Auty. “[Wentworth-Douglass is] the first hospital in New Hampshire and one of the first in Northern New England to offer this tech-nically advanced surgery.”

Auty is one of a small group of surgeons in the country who has received training to perform the surgery.

Potential benefits of Single-Site™ gallbladder surgery may include virtually scarless results, minimal pain, low blood loss, fast recovery, a short hospital stay and high patient satisfac-tion. The surgery can be per-formed in about one hour with a typical hospital stay of less than 24 hours.

During the procedure, the surgeon sits at a console, view-ing a 3D, high-definition image of the patient’s anatomy. The surgeon uses controls below the viewer to move the instrument

arms and camera. In real-time, the system translates the sur-geon’s hand, wrist and finger movements into more precise movements of the miniatur-ized instruments inside the patient.

Unlike traditional robotic surgeries requiring three to five small incisions, this new tech-nology allows for a single inci-sion in the belly button where instruments are placed and the diseased gallbladder is re-moved.

Most people who require gallbladder removal are can-didates for the robotic, single-incision surgery. According to the American College of Surgeons, surgery is the recom-mended treatment for gallblad-der pain from gallstones and non-functioning gallbladders.

More than 1 million people in the U.S. have their gallbladder removed each year. Most are performed with tradi-tional laparoscopy using sev-eral incisions.

payments that are free of federal taxes, and, in some cases, free of state and local taxes, too. (Some municipal bonds may be subject to the alternative minimum tax.) Another investment possibility is a fixed annuity, which offers tax-deferred earnings growth. Your financial and tax advisors can help you determine which, if any, tax-favored investments may be suitable for your individ-ual needs.

* Avoid frequent buying and selling. Many people con-stantly buy and sell investments, hoping to boost their returns. Such frequent trading is usually ineffective, however — and it can also be “taxing.” If you sell an investment that you’ve held for one year or less, you may have to pay the short-term capi-tal gains rate, which is the same as your ordinary income tax rate. But when you sell an investment that you’ve held for more than one year, you’ll be assessed the more favorable long-term capital gains rate, which will be 15% or

from $5,000 to $5,500 (or $6,500, if you’re 50 or older).

* Boost your 401(k) contri-butions. You generally contrib-ute pre-tax dollars to your 401(k), so the more you put in, the lower your taxable income. (Depend-ing on your employer, you may even be able to make Roth con-tributions to your 401(k) plan.) So, every time your salary goes up, you may want to consider increasing your 401(k) contribu-tions. For 2013, you can put in up to $17,500 to your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored plan, such as a 457(b) or 403(b). If you’re 50 or older, you can add another $5,500 on top of the contribution limit.

* Consider tax-advantaged investments. If you can afford to put money away even after you’ve reached the limits on your IRA and your 401(k), you might want to consider other tax-advantaged investments. For example, you may be able to ben-efit from investing in municipal bonds, which provide interest

on your tax return, which is due on April 15. As you work on your return, you may see some areas in which you’d like to make some changes for 2013 and beyond — and one of these areas may be your investments. Specifically, can you find ways to become a more “tax-smart” investor?

You may be able to benefit from taking the following steps:

* “Max out” on your IRA. Depending on your income level, you may be able to deduct some or all of your contributions to a traditional IRA. And your earnings can grow on a tax-de-ferred basis. Taxes are due upon withdrawal and withdrawals prior to age 59½ may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty. (Roth IRA contributions are not deductible, but your earnings and eventual distributions will be tax-free, provided you meet certain con-ditions.) You can contribute to your IRA for 2012 right up until the tax-filing deadline on April 15. And for 2013, the annual IRA contribution limit has increased,

Dear Computer Lady, I’ve been reading your

advise for many years and appre-ciate the help.

I have Windows 7 with Live Mail. My e-mail server is Road Runner and is Internet based.

The problem is that when I use Live Mail to delete messages they aren’t deleted from RR and the mailbox gets full unless I go the website and manage the mail a second time.

Is there any way to set up Live Mail to take care of the RR mail? Thanks, Barbara

Dear Barbara,You can change a simple

setting in Windows Live Mail to take care of the messages on the server. Here is how:

1. Open Windows Live Mail.

2. Click on the tab to the left of the “Home” tab, point to “Op-tions” in the drop-down menu, then click on “E-mail Accounts” in the sub-menu.

3. In the Accounts dialog box, click on your mail account, then click on the “Properties” button on the right.

4. In your account proper-ties dialog box, click on the “Ad-vanced” tab.

5. At the bottom of the Ad-vanced page, find the “Delivery” section, and remove the check mark in front of “Leave a copy of messages on server”

6. Click the “OK” button at the bottom of the dialog box to save your changes and close the

window.You could also choose to

leave the check mark in front of “Leave a copy of messages on server” and then check off the next option and specify the number of days you want to leave messages on the server.

Or, you can just check off “Remove from server when de-leted from “Deleted Items,” and your messages would be removed from Road Runner every time you empty your trash folder in Windows Live mail. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,Could you please advise me

of the best way to learn Excel. With thanks, Karen

Dear Karen,The best way to learn Excel

depends on what kind of learner you are.

If you learn best by reading, there are some excellent books on Excel, I think my favorite is the Missing Manual series of books,

and they do have one on Excel.If you learn best by doing,

the “Professor Teaches” series offers you a hands-on tuto-rial that runs on your computer and talks you through the most common tasks in the program.

If you are looking for in-structions for a specific task, you can always write it in a question and submit it on my website. I’m sure there will be others who will benefit from the instructions also. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,I have a large number of

Favorites but a few that are espe-cially important to me.

Is the some way I can make these stand out from the rest?

Thank you for your site, it has been a large help to this older computer user. Jean

Dear Jean,There is a way to make a

few of your Favorites easier to find and use. You can put them in your favorites bar.

Let’s take a look at Internet Explorer and see how to set this

up.Open Internet Explorer and

if your menu bar is not visible, tap the “Alt” key on your keyboard to activate it.

Click on “View” in the menu bar, and point to “Tool-bars.”

If you don’t see a check mark in front of “Favorites Bar” click on it to turn it on.

Once you have your favor-ites bar displayed, (It will appear as a toolbar at the top of your browser window.) you can now add shortcuts to the Favorites Bar.

Go to a webpage that is im-portant to you.

Click on “Favorites” in the menu bar (remember to use the “Alt” key to display the menu bar if you need to).

In the Favorites menu, click on “Add To Favorites Bar.”

This will put a shortcut to the current page in the favor-ites bar, where you can quickly access it with one click instead of needing to browse through your entire list of favorites. Elizabeth

‘Coffee for a Cause’ Benefits Humane

SocietyDOVER –

Mill Eats, 1 Washington St., Dover, played host to Co-checo Valley Humane Society’s development manager, Nicole Pelletier (middle right), and Kelly Bowen, CVHS volunteer and outreach coordinator (right). The occasion was organized to present the CVHS representa-tives with a check for $534 raised during Mill Eats’ successful ‘Coffee for a Cause’ campaign that ran the entire month of February, during which owners

Gretchen and Michael Nicholas (pictured left and middle left re-spectively) donated 100 percent of their food boutique’s coffee sales to “our furry friends.” Mill Eats, located in front of the Nicholas’s commercial kitchen, features handcrafted treats from several small food companies lo-cated in the Washington Street Mill building.
