NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS

Environmental clean up of former Notre Dame high school completeBERLIN – The effort to

convert the former Notre Dame high school into senior housing reached a major mile-stone this month. The city has completed the remedia-tion of the building and soon plans to turn it over to Tri-County Community Action Program. CAP is working to secure the fi nancing to allow it to turn the historic building into senior housing.

“The city has gone as far as it can in moving the building forward,” said Housing Coor-dinator Andre Caron. “We’ve taken the environmental risk out of that building.”

Two representatives from the N.H. Department of Environmental Services con-ducted a fi nal inspection of the building on Jan. 18. Keith DuBois and Ralph Wickson, of DES’s hazardous waste remediation bureau, said they were impressed at the job the city has done.

“We’re very pleased and encouraged to see the prog-ress that’s been made,” said DuBois. “The cleanliness of the building is really impres-sive.”

Wickson said once the city’s

environmental consultant, Nobis Engineering Inc., sub-mits its fi nal clean-up report, DES will issue a ‘Certifi cate of No Further Action’ and a ‘Ready for Reuse’ letter for the city. He said the two docu-ments close the regulatory fi le for the site and certify that all the necessary reme-dial actions have been com-pleted and the site is ready for reuse.

Once the city receives the DES certifi cate and letter, the property will be turned over to CAP.

CAP Housing and Eco-nomic Development Direc-tor Max Makaitis said the plan is turn the building into either senior housing or senior assisted housing. He said both options are still being explored. In either case, he said they are looking at 33 1-bedroom apartments for low and moderate-income seniors.

Makaitis said there is a demonstrated need for senior housing as the baby boomer generation is aging. He said there currently are waiting lists for the senior housing projects in the city.

The estimated cost of the

City Housing Coordinators Linda White and Andre Caron joined state offi cials on a fi nal inspection tour of the former Notre Dame High School building. The city has completed its remediation of the building and it will soon be turned over to Tri-County Community Action Program for conversion into senior housing.

Budget committee members attempt to defund Gorham town manager post

GORHAM — In an attempt to send a mes-sage to Town Manager Robin Frost, a number of budget committee members attempted to defund the executive offi ce portion of the Gorham town budget last week. The measure failed to pass on a vote that split the commit-tee down the middle, 5-5.

Committee member Robert Balon proposed zeroing out all lines of the executive offi ce sec-tion of the proposed appropriations for 2012, “based on the fact that the town manager has made her position clear on the committee and I feel we should make our position clear and leave it up to the voters.” Balon stipulated that his motion excluded the $300 stipend for the budget clerk.

Balon’s reference to the town manager’s

position on the committee was directed at Frost’s comment from a previous meeting that she would have signed a petition to place an article on the warrant that seeks to abol-ish the budget committee if she had been able. Other town employees and citizens have signed such a petition and the matter will be on the ballot at the March town meeting.

The executive offi ce lines include the town manager’s salary and benefi ts, the stipends for the selectmen and stipends for the town moderator, along with professional dues, training and travel expenses for the select-men and town manager. The lines proposed to be removed totaled $75,533, according to town budget documents dated Jan. 24.

Balon was unable to get a majority of his colleagues to agree to the symbolic vote, with

Woman arrested for DWI with child in the car

GORHAM -- Police are cred-iting an alert bystander for helping to get a drunk driver off the road this weekend.

The caller reported a possi-ble drunk driver on Saturday, Jan. 28 at 7 p.m. He told police he believed a woman who had been drinking had just gotten behind the wheel with a young child in the vehicle and was traveling on Main Street in Gorham.

According to police, the caller stayed on the phone with the dispatcher and followed the vehicle south on Main Street while police were dispatched. He reported that the vehicle was operating erratically and

almost drove off the roadway as it entered the town of Shel-burne. The caller then stopped the vehicle and waited until police arrived, moments later.

Sharon Wood, 35 of West Lebanon, was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated, aggravated driv-ing while intoxicated, driv-ing while intoxicated second offense, as well as two felonies, falsifying physical evidence and possession of controlled/narcotic drugs.

Wood’s juvenile son was in the vehicle. Police also noted offi cers found she concealed drugs from the offi cers at the

HAT CREEK, Calif. (N.Y. Times) — E.T. might be phon-ing, but do we care enough to take the call?

Operating on money and equipment scrounged from the public and from Silicon Valley millionaires, and on the stubborn strength of their own dreams, a band of astrono-mers recently restarted one of the iconic quests of modern science, the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence — SETI, for short — which had been interrupted last year by a lack of fi nancing.

Early in December, a brace of 42 radio telescopes, known as the Allen Telescope Array, nestled here in the shadow of Lassen Peak, came to life and resumed hopping from star to star in the constella-tion Cygnus, listening for radio broadcasts from alien civiliza-tions. The lines are now open, but with lingering fi nancial problems, how long they will remain that way is anybody’s guess.

Astronomers now know that the galaxy is teeming with at least as many plan-ets — the presumed sites of life — as stars. Advanced life and technology might be rare in the cosmos, said Geoffrey W. Marcy, the Watson and Marilyn Alberts in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence professor at the University of California, Berkeley, “but surely they are out there, because the number of Earth-like planets in the Milky Way galaxy is simply too great.”

CAIRO (NY Times) — The United States Embassy in Cairo is giving shelter to three American citizens to protect them from potential arrest by the Egyptian authorities as part of a politically charged investigation into the activities of four American-backed nongovernmental organizations operating here, colleagues said on Monday.

The decision to give the individuals shel-ter is a new low in the relations between Cairo and Washington, which recently

threatened to stop its $1.3 billion in annual aid to the Egyptian military if it fails to take steps toward a democratic opening, including respecting such nongovernmen-tal groups.

Word of the decision came as Egypt’s ruling military council began taking steps to address its fraying relations with Wash-ington by sending a delegation of offi cers to the United States for meetings this week with their military counterparts, legisla-

tors and other offi cials. The delegation was in Tampa on Monday, visiting the Central Command headquarters.

Offi cials at the American Embassy declined to comment on the decision to shelter the Americans, fi rst reported Monday in The Washington Post. The reports followed the disclosure last week that the Egyptian government had barred at least a half dozen American employees of the groups from leaving the country.

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Defi ant Occupy protestors here pledged to maintain their vigil on Monday despite an order from the National Park Service that camp-ers must remove their gear or depart from two federal parks.

As the agency’s noon deadline neared, chanting protestors unfurled an enormous blue tarp emblazoned with “Tent of Dreams” over the center of McPherson Square, one of the two parks. The protestors then dragged the tarp over the statue of James B. McPherson, the Civil War

general for whom the park is named, and the statue’s head and shoulders poked through the top of the tarp.

“What they’re doing with this enforcement is a joke,” said Chris-topher Seerden, 30, of Santa Cruz, Calif. “People need to have a place to stay.”

Despite the deadline, there was no immediate effort by the police to clamp down on the campers, and only a few patrolmen watched from the outskirts of the park, where the enforcement deadline had been posted in recent days.

Tensions on the rise, but no evictions at Occupy D.C. BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — Syria rebel fi ghters con-

tinued clashing with government forces in neighborhoods on the doorstep of Damascus on Monday in an escalation of the spreading war there, while a new diplomatic effort by Russia to broker mediation talks between the antagonists appeared to go nowhere and pressure for Security Council action intensifi ed.

Despite deployments by Syrian forces into the eastern suburbs of Damascus on Sunday, where soldiers, tanks and armed vehicles were sent to crush pockets of armed rebellion, there was no clear sign that the heavily outgunned rebels had been vanquished.

Amateur video posted on the Internet bolstered other cred-ible reports of new fi ghting in Homs, the combustible cen-tral Syrian city that has been the venue of repeated battles between rebel fi ghters and forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad. Syria’s offi cial news agency, SANA, said nothing about the Homs fi ghting but said a gas pipeline in the area was blown up by what it called an unidentifi ed terrorist group.

There were no reliable estimates of the number of people killed or wounded in the latest fi ghting.

the committee evenly split on the matter. Voting in favor of removing the funding were Balon, Terry Rod-erick, John Losier, Lisa Cardell, and Jay Holmes. Jeff Schall, Terry Oliver, Bruce Lary, Bob Demers, and Steve Roy voted against the measure, leav-ing the group deadlocked and the motion defeated. Over the weekend, Balon questioned the validity of the vote, stating that Lary, who is the committee chair, had voted causing a tie and should not have voted except in the case of a tie. A check of the fre-quently asked questions on the offi -cial Robert’s Rules of Order website (www.robertsrules.com), clarifi ed that chairmen of small committees are afforded the same rights as the rest of the members. “So, in meetings of a small board (where there are not more than about a dozen board members present), and in meetings of a committee, the presiding offi cer may exercise these rights and privi-leges as fully as any other member.”

The committee agreed to recon-sider the executive offi ce section of the proposed 2012 budget at their Jan. 26 session, after also agreeing to send a letter to the editor explain-ing their position on the recent cov-erage of the budget process and also issues involving Frost. At a prior meeting, she had misspoken on the overall budgetary reduction reached by the selectmen and later corrected that information after the error was brought to the committee’s attention by one of the members.

Thursday night’s session also included reconsideration of the $13,260 for the building inspector line of the budget and a fi rst discus-sion and recommendation on the warrant article to deposit $42,000 for the Fire Truck Capital Reserve fund. The committee voted against recommending the article 5-4 with Holmes abstaining.

Town Finance Administrator Denise Vallee said that she had inadvertently left the money for that article off the budget documents when she updated them, though it was on the separate list of proposed funding for capital improvement. The omission, however, had meant that the committee had not yet reviewed the article for recommen-dation. She added that the $42,000 would bring the balance of the fund used to replace fi re trucks up to $62,000.

The budget committee questioned the need for the money at this time, and focused on the fact that the town’s oldest engine, Engine 2, which is housed in the Cascade sta-tion and next slated for replacement is seldom called into action. Fire department members on hand noted that the number of runs Engine 2 has made in the last two years include a time frame when the mill was not operating at the level they hope it will now. They contended that the call volume was higher when the mill was producing a lot of paper and could go back up as oper-ations increase. The committee was also informed that the mill owns the Cascade Station and the land it sits on, with the town leasing the prop-erty at a rate of $5 per year.

The issue of the town’s building inspector budget brought discus-

sion after the committee voted to reconsider the line 5-4 after Holmes recused himself at the suggestion of Lary due to a potential confl ict of interest. The committee had pre-viously defunded the position and Oliver, who is the selectmen’s repre-sentative on the committee, moved that the line be reinstated in full. Participating in the discussion, Holmes said he voted to defund it so that it could become self-funded “pay as you go.” Frost said it could be self-funded and the town is looking at fees, but there has to be an appro-priation and a revenue, not just a revenue. Holmes said he felt if the money came in under the “general fund” it could go out the same way.

Roy noted that he’d received a booklet full of permits from the town manager, which by his calculations equated to about 40 actual inspec-tions in a year. He estimated that meant the building inspector, also the town’s fi re chief Rick Eichler, earned his stipend at a rate of about $100 an hour. Frost said that his fi gure didn’t take into account follow up on signs, fencing, new con-struction, certifi cates of assembly and failed septic complaints. She added that John Scarinza, who is fi lling the post currently makes $25 per hour.

Frost agreed with the committee that the permit structure and fees needed to be looked at, and also pointed out that the matter had been brought up at a recent meeting of the planning board. The budget committee members could not be swayed, pointing out the length of time they had proposed self-funding this post with little result.

“I believe in code enforcement, but I don’t believe in code enforce-ment as we have it,” Losier said lamenting that the idea of making the position user funded had been kicked around for fi ve years.

Roy agreed stating that he’s been pushing the issue for three years and nothing has changed. “Maybe if we take it out they’ll do it,” he said.

A vote to reinstate the $13,260 failed 3-6 with Holmes abstaining. A second motion, from Roy to appro-priate around half of that money, $7,000, also failed 3-6-1. Speaking during the public comment portion, Planning Board chairman Mike Waddell said the committee had voted down something the select-men have to fund, since the town is statutorily obligated to enforce codes as a result of having adopted a zoning ordinance.

The budget committee stressed that their votes are not fi nalized in the proposed 2012 budget until after hearing from the voters at the public hearing on Feb. 8. Once the fi nal votes are taken at the close of that session, the bottom line budget as recommended will go before the town meeting in March. Votes of the budget committee to remove fund-ing are binding, if adopted by the voters, though the lines the fund-ing is removed from are advisory only, as the selectmen have author-ity over where the money is spent. The town meeting has the power to reinstate money cut by the budget committee only up to 10 percent of the total proposed budget and rec-ommended warrant articles.

WHAT is it with Barack Obama’s penchant for getting in tangles with blond politicians on airport tarmacs?

Usually, tarmacs are for joyous welcomes or teary goodbyes. But No Drama Obama saves his rare tempests for the runway.

In the last primary season, the tension in the relationship between Hillary Clinton, who had expected to glide to the nomination, and the upstart younger senator from Illinois came to a head one day in December 2007 as both were preparing to board their planes in Washington to go to an Iowa debate.

Hillary had sent word that she wanted to talk to Obama. Standing in front of her plane, she apologized to him for the comments of her co-chairman in New Hampshire, Billy Shaheen, who had warned that Republicans would pounce on Obama’s confessions of cocaine and marijuana use.

But given the opening, Obama dived in, telling Clinton that she should intervene to stop the pattern of insinuations and attacks by her supporters, including one by a volun-teer in Iowa who had forwarded an e-mail claiming Obama was a Muslim.

That’s when Hillary got upset and began gesticulating, giving Obama a piece of her mind about what she saw as unfair attacks on his side. Obama gently put his hand on her arm “to chill her out,” as an aide later told me.

But Hillary did not like it, feeling she was being held in place and patronized, even “manhandled,” as her aide put it to a reporter.

On Wednesday, Obama had another bris-tly tarmac moment with Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona, who met Air Force One when the president landed in Phoenix. The toxic domi-natrix of illegal immigration, the woman who turned every Latino in her state into a sus-pect, was fl ustered and gesticulating at the president as he put his hand on her arm to chill her out. Brewer complained afterward that she had felt “unnerved” and “a little bit threatened” by Obama and that he had walked away while she was in midsentence.

Brewer told Monica Crowley, subbing for Sean Hannity on Fox News, that she had given the president a letter inviting him to join her at the border to discuss enforcement. She said he shot back that her account of a 2010 Oval Offi ce meeting on the topic, pub-lished in her book, “Scorpions for Breakfast: My Fight Against Special Interests, Liberal Media and Cynical Politicos to Secure Ameri-ca’s Border,” was distorted.

“He was patronizing,” Brewer wrote about the president in her book, adding: “He’s treat-ing me like the cop he had over for a beer after

he bad-mouthed the Cambridge police.” (The president’s recent performances are boosting sales of Brewer’s book and Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together.”)

With typical Fox balance, Crowley told Governor Brewer that she admired her for “getting in the president’s grill,” adding, “You go, girl.”

The president can be thin-skinned, but the governor can be fat-headed. The Constitution is more threatened by Brewer’s racial profi l-ing than the governor was by the president’s fact-checking. Brewer’s grasp of facts is tenu-ous, after all: she told The Arizona Republic in 2010 that her father died fi ghting the Nazis in Germany, when he died a decade after the end of the war, which he spent working at an ammunition factory in Nevada.

Both of Obama’s tarmac tiffs worked in his favor. After his encounter with Hillary, he told advisers that it was the fi rst time he knew he could beat her because he saw fear in her eyes.

After his brouhaha with Brewer, dubbed “the dust-up in the desert,” he became a hero to the Hispanics he had gone West to court. They loved seeing their Cruella de Vil get dressed down.

Everything is breaking Barry’s way, as Mitt and Newt rip into each other in vicious ads and debates like alligators going after house pets.

Romney was tutored in Florida by Brett O’Donnell, a new debate coach. Too bad he can’t fi nd a conviction coach.

O’Donnell manned up Mittens and taught him how to pummel Newt in “moments of strength,” as the Republican strategist Alex Castellanos calls them. The funny thing is that the reason Gingrich soared in South Carolina, before faltering here, was that Republicans are so afraid of debates with the president that they are obsessed with send-ing forth their toughest adversary for him.

They seem to have forgotten that, while Obama has had dazzling moments of strength in executing Osama and in swashbuckling derring-do against Somali pirates — if not in dealing with Congress — he was no Abe Lin-coln in debates. He did not like debating, and Michelle urged him to be more visceral. He often faded onstage because he stubbornly refused to accept debates as alpha combat rather than beta seminars. He disdained anything he saw as superfi cial politics, from sound bites to macho put-downs.

If Obama continues to resist the gladiato-rial subtext, while Romney embraces it, the debates could be more evenly matched than the Republicans dare to dream.

Tension On The Tarmac

To the editor:It is time for the budget committee to tell

their side of the story. As you have read in previous articles there was a mistake on the bottom line fi gure in the town budget which was stated in the paper on Jan. 29. The town manager, Robin Frost, before checking her numbers gave a fi gure and a percentage rate that was incorrect. The fi gure was not caught by the town manager nor the selectmen but by a budget committee member. Some of the town workers and their spouses signed a petition

to abolish the budget committee and the town manager stated she would have signed it also if she could. But, if this were to happen the mis-take in the fi gures Robin Frost made may not be caught in time and the townspeople would be misinformed.

The town manager makes an apology in the paper for her mistakes, but lets them print fi g-ures of work in progress recommendations list that can change on Feb 8, at the public hearing, these fi gures are not yet agreed upon and may

What was the city council thinking?To the editor:As usual, what was the

council thinking! Penalizing the voters and taxpayers (who have been recycling since day one) by charging them per bag of trash and make them buy bags (prob-ably over priced) from the city is just ridiculous! That’s not going to fi x jack. People to lazy or to ignorant to recy-cle now are surely not going to do it by making everyone pay per bag of trash. There will be a lot of trash being thrown in the woods or along roadsides, etc.

Why not have a vote on this issue? Oh that’s right, In Berlin in our votes don’t count. If we vote no and

the council doesn’t agree they fi nd a way to get what they what anyway. It’s hap-pened before (when the fi rst prison was an issue and the voters did their civic duty). Our taxes and cost of living keeps rising, yet our rights are being taken away one by one. America should change its motto to ‘land of the fee”! When the struggling class (once known as the middle class) is all tapped out and bled dry who’s going to sup-port the world then?

Marine Corps Leagues thanks everyone who helped with Toys for Tots campaign

To the editor:The Marine Corps League

would like to thank every one that donated and helped with our Toys for Tots Pro-gram this year. Without the help of the generous people of Coos County we would not be able to say that we had the best year ever. We gave

out 13000 gifts to 500 fami-lies. We feel very good about it and you should also fee good.

Thank you again. Have a good year. See you next Octo-ber.

not be actual. The selectmen have said, “we have provided a pretty lean budget”. This was at the 497,589.00 fi gure when this was said, the com-mittee is hoping they feel different now that the fi gure is at $286,889.00 and may change.

We, the budget committee, would like to remind the taxpayers that we give recommendations on the budget. The committee consists of 10 Gorham taxpayers. They are business owners, homemakers, business managers and retirees who volunteer their time and deal with a budget on a daily basis. We are not here to hurt any depart-

ments; we are not here for personal gain. Everyone reads the news, we are in tough times and they may not get better soon. Let’s save money where we can, so if times get worse we won’t have to keep raising the tax rate and drive people out.

So please we are asking you the tax-payers of Gorham to come to the public hearing on Feb. 8, at the town hall 6:30 p.m. and listen to the proposed budget, ask questions, be informed where your tax money is going. Let your voice be heard.

WORKSHOP from page 4

In last Friday's paper, a page three story about the Berlin Board of Educa-tion's discussion on textbook purchases contained comments erroneously attributed to board member Ken Proulx. Proulx asked for clarifi cation

on the NH Department of Education's position on ordering textbooks, and the explanation that followed, which was detailed in the story, came from Superintendent Corrinne Cascadden not Proulx. We apologize for the error.

scene leading to the felony charges. She was released on $2,500 PR bail and is scheduled to appear in Berlin Circuit Court on February 28.

Lieutenant Jennifer Lemoine, who handles prosecution for the Gorham Police Depart-ment said this is the department’s sixth suspected drug-related DWI offense since December 2011, some-thing the department has rarely seen in the past.

“The department has defi nitely seen a rise in drug-related criminal activity in the past year and DWI is no excep-tion,” said Lemoine.

She credits the arrest of these suspects to the offi cers’ training and diligence. The depart-ment has two offi cers with specialized train-ing and certifi cations in detection of motorists who may be operating a motor vehicle while impaired by controlled drugs.

Lemoine also cau-tioned the public about attempting to stop vehicles on their own. “You never know who you may be dealing with, what their history is or what they may be thinking at the time,” she said.

Also arrested over the weekend was Alan Alger, 47 of Berlin. He was arrested in Shel-burne after the Gorham Police received a report of a domestic assault in progress. Alger is charged with simple assault and obstructing the report of a crime. He was held on $200 cash bail and transported to the Coos County House of Corrections and will appear in court for a bail hearing on Monday, January 30.

Alicia Kenison, 22 of Gorham, was arrested and charged with driv-ing while intoxicated and driving while intox-icated, second offense. She was released on $500 PR bail and is scheduled to appear in court on March 27.

conversion is $7.5 million and Makaitis said CAP is working to secure the needed fi nancing. The agency is seeking a $4.8 million package of tax credits and forgiveness loans through N.H. Housing Finance Authority that it views as the lynchpin of the fi nanc-ing. The project narrowly missed being selected for the fi nancing last year and CAP was encouraged to reapply for the loan again this fall. Makaitis said NHHFA staff members have been up several times to discuss the project and are impressed with what is proposed.

“They’re very eager to help us get this project done,” he said.

CAP is pursuing a variety of other funding options, including a Commu-nity Development Block Grant, a Fed-eral Home Loan Bank forgiveness loan, and Historic Resources tax credits to complete the fi nancing.

“There are a lot of pieces and they all have to come together,” said Makaitis.

The project has come a long way since a group of Notre Dame alumni, lead by Lorraine Leclerc, pushed the city to redevelop the building back in 2003. A section of the building had been heavily damaged by fi re and was sitting vacant. Unpaid taxes had resulted in the build-ing falling into city ownership.

The volunteer group cleaned up the grounds around the school and boarded the windows. An engineer, who was an alumni of the school, did a structural analysis that found the main build-ing was sound but advised that the old gymnasium was beyond saving.

The city obtained a brownfi eld assis-tance grant that identifi ed asbestos and lead in the building and traces of the gas additive MTBE in groundwater

samples.In 2008, the city received a $200,000

federal brownfi eld grant to clean up the property. MARCOR Environmental out of Wilmington, Mass., was hired to clean up the asbestos inside the building and the debris from the fi re. The city cov-ered the cost of disposing of the rubble and asbestos and the cost of Norbis Engineering’s management services.

The city last year succeeded in get-ting a $400,000 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant to com-plete the project. Enpro Environmen-tal Services Company was hired to remove the soils around the build-ing while MARCOR remediated the lead and PCBs contained in the paint used in the building. MARCOR also removed all the mold that had grown in the building.

The city last fall hired Fortier and Associates of Berlin to install vents and screening in the windows to allow air circulation.

All together, Caron said $720,000 has been spent to remediate the haz-ardous materials in the building and make it safe for public use.

“We’re very happy with the end result,” he said.

Through its handling of the Notre Dame project, Caron said the city has proven it can successfully manage such a remediation effort and has established a track record with fed-eral and state agencies that will help with future projects. In reviewing grant applications, he said agencies, like the federal Environmental Pro-tection Agency, look at an applicant’s ability to execute such projects.

Berlin, Caron said, has shown “we deliver what we promise to deliver”.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). In order to know what’s best for you, you have to know yourself. You’ll learn the most about yourself through your conversa-tions with the deeper thinkers in your midst. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Inti-mate encounters, life passages and joint enterprises unfold in the weeks to come. As you cherry pick your activi-ties today, you’ll appreciate that much is available to you now that wasn’t before. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Go into long-term arrangements with great caution, especially when fi nances are on the line. You would be wise to look to the person behind the venture rather than at the venture itself. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Nego-tiations and compromises are the out-ward manifestations of inner security. You know how safe another person really feels by the way he or she sorts out the details of a deal. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may feel a strong pull toward positions of leader-ship and power. You like to be in control and may even feel that you need to be in charge or everything will not get done the detailed way you prefer. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will put aside your need to have everything unfold as it’s “supposed to,” and you’ll embrace the spirit of drama that colors this day. It will feel right to let your emo-tions lead you into a highly creative state of mind. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Get the contact info of anyone you fi nd interest-ing. You’re likely to come into contact with a wide array of characters, most of whom you may not meet again unless you make the effort to do so.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Have no fear of failure. If you can’t make something work now it just means that you were meant for a different kind of challenge. Besides, you do a stellar impression of a glorious phoenix rising up from the ashes. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You feel rich within. Your self-confi -dence is deep, and you know you have much to give. You’re almost ready to merge your assets and share your con-fi dences with another person. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Even when you feel you have enough to survive and be happy, you will keep working. You hate to feel idle, and it brings you personal satisfaction to excel beyond what is necessary. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The contrast between your laid-back style and the preferences of a tidy, logical and overly detailed person may be a source of friction. If you can fi nd a com-promise, what you accomplish together will be absolutely brilliant. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will feel like you’ve been left in the dark on a certain topic and the unknown is daunting. But you’re too courageous to let that stop you. Shine your mental fl ashlight, start poking around and you’ll fi nd your way. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 31). It will be as though you have the golden touch. It’s not important to you to win all of the time, but you’ll revel in the victory that comes in the next six weeks. You bring harmony to your family and other groups. There will be a happy change in April. Your work will be prominently fea-tured in June. Cancer and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 25, 1, 12 and 15.

DEAR ABBY: Recently my 80-year-old mother was admit-ted to the hospital, gravely ill. She had been undergoing che-motherapy and caught double pneumonia. My 36-year-old niece went to visit Mama, took pictures of her lying in her hospital bed and emailed the photos to everyone. It was shocking and upsetting seeing my mother this way. Many of the people who received the photos had not been able to visit her. Abby, what’s your opinion on this, and how should it have been handled? -- SINCERELY UPSET IN FLORIDA DEAR SINCERELY UPSET: I don’t blame you for being upset. What your niece did was a gross invasion of privacy. Is this how your mother would have wanted people to see her? If the answer is no, your niece owes your mother an apology. If your mother is still hospitalized, talk to the nurse in charge of the unit she’s in and give her a list of visitors who should have access to her. Explain why you want visitation restricted, and in the future your mother’s privacy will be as-sured. DEAR ABBY: My sister’s husband died suddenly three years ago. “Pamela” now says she’s in love with a 60-year-old man I’ll call “Mickey,” whose company is doing construc-tion work on her home. She has put on a new roof, siding and added a deck, and the jobs are not ending. Next on the schedule is a shed and a new coat of paint for the inside of the house. Friends and family are concerned that Pamela is schedul-ing more jobs as a way to see Mickey. When I pointed out that he hasn’t even invited her out for coffee, she claimed they

have a “relationship” because he hugged her, kissed her on the cheek and told her, “You’re my girlfriend.” Pamela has invited Mickey to family dinners and events, but he turns her down because “he’s visiting relatives out of town.” He has never invited her to go anywhere. My sister should be ready to date now, but no one lives up to this man. None of us have met him, and we’re worried she is just imagining there’s a relationship. What can we do before Pamela goes broke or crashes emotionally? -- SOME-THING’S MISSING IN NEW JERSEY DEAR SOMETHING’S MISSING: Do you know the name of Mickey’s company? Start checking him out. Does he have a contractor’s license? A Facebook page? Does anybody in the lumber or paint business know him? Something does seem fi shy. Mickey may be married and your sister may be grasp-ing at straws. But when all is said and done, it is her money. DEAR ABBY: I am a 12-year-old girl who needs your ad-vice. My friend and I went shopping a while back and she lent me money to buy a few things. However, later that day she lost the bag that had my stuff in it at the mall. One day she brought up that I have not paid her back, but I said I don’t think I should have to pay her back since she lost the stuff she bought for me. Who do you think is right? -- NEEDS ADVICE IN OAKLAND, CALIF. DEAR NEEDS ADVICE: You are. She’s out the money; you’re out the “goods.” You’re even. However, from now on when you buy something, take responsibility for it and keep it in your possession. That way, if something is lost, you will have no one to blame but yourself.

Concord’s Annie Mullen ices Lady Mountaineers, 6-3

BERLIN--Concord high school’s Annie Mullen scored four goals and assisted on the other two goals scored by the Crimson Tide, in a 6-3 girls’ hockey victory in Berlin recently. The win elevated Concord to 6-2 on the season while the Lady Mountaineers fell for the seventh straight game to be at 2-7.

Concord came storming out, scor-ing three goals just :19, 1:54, and at 2:28 into the game. Jess Carroll got the fi rst from Mullen and her sister Erin Mullen. Annie scored the next two from Carroll and her sister and then again from her sister and Sammi Nadeau for the 3-0 lead. That had the Berlin coaching staff insert senior goal tender Gray in between the Mountaineer pipes. There was no fur-ther scoring in the fi rst period.

Berlin got themselves on the score-board just :19 into the second period. Morgan Ouellet scored from team mates Kyana Lefebvre and Emily Landry to make it 3-1. The goal was Ouellet’s fourth on the season.

At 6:57 of the second period, Berlin reduced their defi cit to one goal on a Carly Perreault blast to make it 3-2 Concord. Ouellet and Landry picked up the helping markers on Perrault’s

second goal of the winter.Just 30 seconds later, Concord tried

to take the steam out of the Moun-taineers. Annie Mullen completed her hat trick and more importantly put the visitors back on top by two goals.

The Crimson Tide put to rest early in the third period any hopes for a Berlin come-back by scoring just 48 seconds in. Annie Mullens’ fourth goal of the game was unassisted.

Erin Mullen from sister Annie were the two culprits for Concord at the 8:48 mark of the third period, to put Concord on top 6-2.

The fi nal goal came at 14:18 of the third period by the home town Mount-ies. It was a power play goal by Mela-nie Morin that made the fi nal score 6-3. It was Morin’s fourth goal of the year.

For the game, Concord goal tender, Ashley Goodbut had 19 blocks for the Tide. In relief, Gray had 26 saves for Berlin. The Lady Mountaineers will travel to Dover for their next game. Berlin will battle St Thomas/Dover in an afternoon contest.

Martin and Dorval keep Berlin ahead of Exeter, 4-3

EXETER--Senior Ethan Dorval collected a pair of goals and senior goal tender Steve Martin had 36 saves, helping Berlin to defeat Exeter 4-3, in a boys’ Division I hockey game in Exeter Saturday.

The Mountaineers got off to a good start on a great individual effort by junior winger Brandon Poulin with 5:08 to play in the fi rst period. Poulin fi red his shot on Blue Hawk goal keeper Steve Lambert. Lam-bert made the block and the rebound came right back on Poulin’s stick. The burly forward lit the lamp to put Berlin on top 1-0. The goal was Pou-lin’s second of the year.

Berlin went up 2-0 at 13:12 of the opening period. This time it was Dorval going high over Exeter’s Lam-bert. Zach Blanchette picked up the assist on Dorval’s seventh goal of the year.

Exeter ruined the Mounties’ good start by scoring a goal with just 1.6 seconds left in the fi rst period. Berlin

was in the penalty box on a tripping call. Blue Hawk Anthony Caiani got the goal from line mates Cannon Ronan and Collen McArthur making 2-1 at the end of one period.

In the second period, Berlin got their two goal lead back at 11:37, on a perfectly executed two on one break. Senior Jeremy Rivard took a feed from sophomore Connor Jewett and whistled his shot into the Exeter goal for his seventh of the year.

It looked as if the Mounties were going to be in the driver’s seat with only 1:47 to play in the second period. Dorval netted his second of the game and eighth of the year, using a Blue Hawk defender as a screen to put the visiting Mounties on top 4-1.

That all changed in the third period. Goals by Exeter’s Spencer Young at 4: 43 from Nate Kingsley and then at 5:19 by Ty Meuquita and Brendan Mantell made it a 4-3 con-test with more than half a period to play.

However, Martin in the Berlin net
