Local law enforcement opposed to expanded lethal force bill

While the majority of the Coos delegation voted in favor of SB88, a bill later vetoed by Governor Lynch, that expands the individual’s right to use deadly force in self-defense, many in the Coos law enforcement community are opposed to the measure. The bill is expected to go before the legislature for a veto override vote today.

The bill initially passed both houses by wide mar-gins in June, with the Senate voting 19-5 in favor. House approval was strong as well with a vote of 283-89. Since then, however, the law enforcement community has spoken out, including, according to the Union Leader, all 10 County Attorneys who are opposed to the legislation.

According to Gov. Lynch’s offi ce, New Hampshire Chiefs of Police, the New Hampshire Sheriffs Associa-tion, the New Hampshire Police Association and the New Hampshire Troopers Association all strongly urged a veto of the bill.

Both sides issued press releases yesterday making the case for and against overriding the veto.

Proponents of the bill argue that it takes the burden off the threatened individual, and further reinforces one’s right to self-protection. “It is important that we get the correct message out to our citizens that SB88 will not result in the mass mayhem that the governor has warned,

President declares N.H. disaster after storm

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced that federal aid has been made available to the State of New Hampshire to supplement state and local recovery efforts in the area affected Tropical Storm Irene beginning on August 26, 2011, and continuing.

Federal funding is available to state and eligible local gov-ernments and certain private nonprofi t organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by Tropical Storm Irene in the counties of Carroll, Coos, Grafton, and Merrimack Counties.

Federal funding is also available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation measures for statewide.

Albert Lewis has been named as the Federal Coordinating Offi cer for Federal recovery operations in the affected area. Lewis said that damage surveys are continuing in other areas, and additional counties may be designated for assis-tance after the assessments are fully completed.

SAYWHAT...We want Google to be the third half

of your brain.”—Sergey Brin

(NY Times) — In mid-August, Jason Rule learned some surprising news about the coffee shop that he owns and operates in Hays, Kan.: the place had closed for good.

Not in the real world, where it is thriving. Coffee Rules Lounge was listed for a few days as “permanently closed” on Google Maps. During that time, anyone searching for a latte on a smartphone, for instance, would have assumed the store was a goner.

In recent months, plenty of perfectly healthy businesses across the country have expired — sometimes for hours, other times for weeks — though only in the online realm cataloged and curated by Google. The reason is that it is surprisingly easy to report a business as closed in Google Places.

On Google Places, a typi-cal listing has the address of a business, a description provided by the owner and links to photos, reviews and Google Maps. It also has a section titled “Report a prob-lem” and one of the prob-lems to report is “this place is permanently closed.” If enough users click it, the business is labeled “report-edly closed” and later, pend-ing a review by Google, “permanently closed.” Google was tight-lipped about its review methods and would not discuss them.

HOUSTON (NY Times) — Strong winds that have been feeding a series of wildfi res across central Texas died down Tuesday, and fi refi ght-ers sought to use the lull to their advantage as they battle blazes that have already chewed up tens of thousands of rain-parched acres.

Wind gusts that had been as high as 30 miles per hour on Monday had slowed to 5 m.p.h. Tuesday morning, according to the National Weather Service.

The largest of the wildfi res, in Bastrop County, has burned 25,000 acres, destroyed nearly 500 homes and forced the evacuations of at least 5,000 people, according to county and state offi cials.

Gov. Rick Perry cut short a presidential cam-paign trip to South Carolina on Monday to return to the state.

In a news release on Tuesday, he called the fi res “serious and widespread, and as mean as I have ever seen.”

Since the start of the state’s fi re season in November 2010, some 20,900 wildfi res have burned more than 3.6 million acres and destroyed more than 1,000 homes, offi cials said.

The Texas Forest Service said Tuesday that during the last seven days alone, 181 fi res had burned more than 118,400 acres across the state.

Slowing winds give fi refi ghters a chance in Texas

TRIPOLI, Libya (NY Times) — Rebel negotiators pressed fi ghters loyal to Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi in the town of Bani Walid to surrender on Tuesday amid reports of loyalists fl eeing the country and confusion over the whereabouts of the former Libyan leader.

In Washington, the State Department’s spokeswoman, Victoria Nuland, confi rmed the

departure of a convoy to Niger with “some dozen or more senior members of the regime,” including senior military com-manders, but not Colonel Qad-dafi himself.

The American ambassador, Bisa Williams, spoke to Niger-ien offi cials and urged them to detain and return to Libya any offi cials wanted by international prosecutors, Ms. Nuland said.

“We have strongly urged the Nigerien offi cials to detain those members of the regime who may be subject to prosecu-tion, to ensure that they con-fi scate any weapons that are found and to ensure that any state property of the govern-ment of Libya — money, jewels, et cetera — also be impounded so that it can be returned to the Libyan people,” she said.

Markets drop as investors worry over jobs, banks

(NY Times) — Bank stocks took a big hit as concerns about the debt crisis in Europe and global economic growth propelled fi nancial markets downward on Tuesday.

After a three-day weekend, Wall Street took a tumble at the open-ing of trading Tuesday, taking a cue from markets in Europe and Asia. Analysts said that the drop, which hit fi nancial stocks particularly hard, was a carry-over from last week’s disappointing unemploy-ment report in the United States and from news that major Ameri-can banks were facing a federal lawsuit related to their handling of mortgage securities. In the United States, economic data was scruti-nized for any sign of strength in the country’s recovery. The Institute for Supply Management said Tuesday that the services sector of the econ-omy expanded in August, the 21st consecutive month it has done so, as refl ected in the 53.3 reading on the I.S.M. index, although the expan-sion in some sectors like business activity were slowing down.

THE BERLIN DAILY SUN, Wednesday, September 7, 2011—

Open to anyone interested in attend-ing, the forums are designed to discuss the future educational needs of the region’s chil-dren and how to maximize collaboration and ensure the best opportunities for area stu-dents.

“I don’t know where this is going to lead,” said SAU 20 Superintendent of School Paul Bousquet. “But I think it is a conversation that needs to happen.”

Both Bousquet and SAU 3 Superintendent Corrine Cascadden stressed the forums do not have any perceived outcomes or plan of action.

“There is absolutely no plan,” said Cascad-den. She said the organizers want to hear “how the public would like to see the school districts operate.”

To eliminate any perception that the forums have a hidden agenda, they will be run by two facilitators from Plymouth State University.

Bousquet said the impetus for the forums came out of the recent budget cycles that have seen both the Berlin School District and the Gorham Randolph Shelburne Coop-erative struggle with budget cuts. As the region has struggled economically, school populations have dropped and both SAUs have cut staff in recent years. In school year 2010-11 Berlin lost 13 staffers and this year the GRS Cooperative lost eight positions.

This spring, with support from both school boards, the Milan school board, and the Berlin city council, Bousquet submitted an application to the Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund at the N.H. Charitable Foundation for a $15,000 grant to help fund the forums. The grant was approved, with the two SAUs providing $5,000 in in-kind services such as meeting space and the staff time of Bous-quet and Cascadden.

Much of the grant money will be used to hire facilitators Cheryl Baker and Kathy

McCabe of PSU. Baker is the director of graduate recruitment and outreach at PSU while McCabe is a former assistant super-intendent and a graduate adjunct professor at PSU.

Bousquet and Cascadden point out their respective middle and high school are just seven miles apart. The grant application notes the two complexes both offer basic courses, remedial help, and special needs staffi ng.

Both also maintain elective course offer-ing, develop and maintain curriculums, and provide strong foundations for further edu-cation.

The forums will ask citizens how the school districts can share resources to address the shrinking school population and dwindling fi nancial resources. Citizens will be asked how they feel about regionalization.

The two SAUs do have some collaborative efforts - a common school year calendar and limited opportunities for students to play on sports teams at the other district. There are also ongoing discussions on busing.

After the completion of the six forums, Bousquet said some additional sessions will be held to report the information and data collected. The organizers hope to be able to come out with a regional vision for education and some new collaborative pro-gram ideas.

They also hope the process will prove to be something that can be used to look at ways other public services i the valley, such as police, fi re, and social services, can work collaboratively.

In addition to the Sept. 14 forum in Berlin, others will be held Wednesday, Sept. 21 at the Randolph town hall, Thursday, Sept. 22 at the Milan School library, Wednesday, Sept. 28 at Gorham High School cafeteria, Tuesday, Oct. 4 at the Shelburne town hall, and Wednesday, Oct. 5 at the Errol School cafeteria. All forums run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

MERRIMACK — A New Hamp-shire man convicted of raping and impregnating a 15-year-old church member more than a decade ago was sentenced Tuesday to 15 to 30 years in prison.

Ernest Willis, of Gilford, 52, robbed the girl of her childhood, the judge said in sentencing Willis, who had admitted to having sex in 1997 with the teenager, who also babysat his children, but he claimed it was

consensual.At the time, the fundamentalist

Trinity Baptist Church in Concord, which both he and the teenager belonged to, made her apologize to the congregation. The pastor then helped send the girl to live with a Colorado couple she didn’t know — with her mother’s consent — and put her baby up for adoption. Police did not locate the victim until last year.

Tuesday, the now-29-year-old

victim listened to the sentencing via telephone from her Arizona home. During the proceeding, he read a statement apologizing to her, his family and the church.

Before his jury trial, Willis pleaded guilty to one count of statu-tory rape. In May, a jury convicted Willis of forcibly raping the girl twice in 1997.

Concord police had shelved the case in 1997 when they couldn’t

locate the victim. But a former church member who witnessed the girl’s discipline session later described it on the Internet, and the investigation was revived last year when police learned of her where-abouts.

Willis, a divorced father of four, was arrested in May 2010 and remained free on bail until his May 27 conviction.

Convicted rapist sentenced to 15-30 years

Mother charged in connection with son’s deathMERRIMACK — A Merrimack

mother charged in connection with the drowning of her infant son was arraigned Tuesday.

Melissa Gutierrez, 25, was charged with negligent homicide after her 8-month-old son died in a bathtub on Aug. 25.

Throughout the arraignment, Guti-errez could be heard sobbing, and at one point, she was led from the court-room to regain her composure.

Police said Gutierrez left the boy and his 2-year-old brother in a bath-tub with running water at a house on Wilson Hill Road.

Prosecutors asked that bail be set at $100,000 cash.

“We’re talking about the loss of an 8-month-old child through the neg-ligence of Melissa Gutierrez,” said Capt. Michael Dudash.

Dudash said Gutierrez has felony-level theft charges pending, along

with previous convictions for driv-ing after suspension, driving while intoxicated, possession of cocaine and simple assault. He said she was a fl ight risk.

“She has no ties to the community,” he said. “At the time, I believe, she was living in a campground in Tyngsboro.”

But the defense said that if she were a risk to fl ee, she would have already left. Defense attorney Anthony Sculimbrene said Gutier-

rez voluntarily turned herself in Monday night. He said the boy’s death was an accident.

“There’s no sign of injury,” he said. “There’s no sign of trauma to the baby. This was a complete and total freak accident. This is something that could have happened to anyone.”

Bail was set at $50,000 cash or surety. A probable cause hearing is set for Sept. 13.

MANCHESTER — Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told an audience of diehard supporters and the curious that the country needs candidates “who can do more than just talk,” but didn’t tip her hand Monday on whether she would run for President in 2012.

“The Tea Party movement is bigger than any one person and is not about any one candidate,” Palin told a noontime Tea Party rally at Veterans Memorial Park.

Many in the Labor Day crowd, which numbered at least 500, inter-rupted her 20-minute-plus speech with chants of “Run, Sarah, Run!”

“I appreciate your encouragement, I do,” she said.She urged more people to join the Tea Party movement to

build on the successes of the 2010 mid-term elections and to help reverse the “economic fantasy that President Obama is engaged in” at the White House.

“We’re not going to just sit back on the couch and throw stones from afar,” she said at an event fi lled with supporters and campaign booths for various presidential candidates. Vol-unteers at one table collected contact information from Palin supporters in case she decided to run.

Her appearance brought out undecided Republicans and many Democrats as well.

Former Manchester Alderman Ray Provencher, a Democrat, was impressed with Palin’s speech.

“She knows what she’s talking about,” said Provencher, who voted for the John McCain-Sarah Palin GOP ticket in 2008.

“The fact she’s going around the country has to mean some-thing, but I have no idea if she’s going to run,” said Provencher, who remains undecided for 2012.

Betty Dawson, a Manchester housewife, said she’s been out listening to various presidential candidates with her 10-year-old grandson, Tyler. Military issues are important since her husband and son have served in the military.

“It’s between Romney and Perry so far,” she said of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Gov. Rick Perry. “If (Palin) gets in, I’ll consider her. Somebody’s got to change this country.”

Labor Day GoneI’m writing this on Monday, September 5th. It’s Labor Day, 2011. I just watched the

news on Channel Six out of Portland. I was struck by the fact that they ran a couple of stories about the national holiday. The fi rst was about the celebration in Portland. There was a view of some folks walking along with signs. There were heading out from a meeting calling attention, in a quiet way, to the holiday. Things were pretty calm with no fi ery speeches calling for drastic action to battle the heavy unemployment besetting the country. I thought that’s nice!

The second occasion was a story out of Buffalo. It featured a crowd watching some people competing in an eating contest. The food was fried chicken and the winner, a girl, had eaten umpteen pieces of the stuff and was shown being carried on the shoulders of her supporters. The announcer said the contest was held to celebrate Labor Day. I thought, its a national holiday, that’s nice!

My point is this, With unemployment stuck at 9.2 percent. With 14 million people out of work and 20 million working only part-time, the labor movement that took off after World War II, and carried working class Americans into the middle class, is just about dead and buried. While certain democratic politicians may seek to rally them and go on to victory, their cause seems already lost. Even in heavily democratic states like Mas-sachusetts, where the party still prevails, its the more educated people in fi nance and insurance who support and maintain the liberal politics that thrive. The defi nition of who is “working class” has defi nitely changed over the last 20 years or so.

In this context, we’ll have President Barack Obama laying out a new plan to deal with the crisis of unemployment at a joint session of Congress on Thursday night. Some folks, myself included, are hoping for him too lay out a program calling for his government too tackle the problem of unemployment by creating programs to correct infrastruc-ture needs by fi nancing there reconstruction. While there will be tax cuts proposed for middle income wage earners, we expect that higher earning people will be asked to pay their share with modest tax increases.

While Tea Party Republicans are looking only too proposals which severely cut spend-ing, the President’s new proposals should call for overhauling spending on such social programs but maintain there purpose by providing support for them.

With an election fast approaching in 2012, the President should present proposals which dare Republicans in Congress to act boldly or face the consequences at the polls. He is the only Democrat with the power and authority to make such demands.

While the labor movement has lost much of its power and authority, this is the time to stop the slide and begin the turn around. It should seek to once again join the leadership ranks of the country. .

President Obama we need to celebrate something more than eating contests on Labor Day!.

Roland Chabot Day is SaturdayTo the Editor:

This year’s annual Roland Chabot Day at the Notre Dame Arena will be held on Saturday Sept. 10. The Roland Chabot Day is a volunteer work day in honor of Roland Chabot who was a player, coach, and mentor of Berlin hockey for decades.

Volunteers on this day will be asked to clean up the park-ing lot, perimeter of the building and other extraneous maintenance work. It is asked that volunteers bring rakes, weed whackers, shovels, wheelbarrows, and brooms for out-side work. We will start at 8 a.m. and go until noon.

At 5 p.m., the fi rst game of the new season will take place. The Berlin Midgets (ages 15-18) will face longtime their rivals Nashua. Fans will not only see an entertaining hockey game, but will also see the many improvements the arena has undergone in the last few years. These upgrades include new boards, glass, lights, and a four-sided clock/scoreboard. Our volunteers and dedicated staff have made the arena a place our community should be proud of, so we welcome all to embrace the new improvements with us on its opening day of the 2011-2012 season.

Thank you in advance. Somewhere, Rollie is smiling.

We all make mistakesTo the Editor:

How does life affect us? A while ago some-one passed away, he had a great deal of sib-lings. In his epitaph no one spoke the name of the young lady he cared for the most! She was like a daughter more then a grandaugh-ter.

We all make our share of mistakes through life, but family, well there are no excuses to be so uncaring to forget one an other! We can get upset once in awhile, due too other’s cruelties, but we never stop loving them.

My mother used to tell me hate the sin, love and forgive the sinner! Life is short,yet we can’t loose sight of God’s “Love” for each one of us.

Life has gotten so diffi cult, gas, oil, gro-ciers, etc. The weather ice pellets falling from the sky on a hot summer day! Tornado warnings in the North Country.

Money has become like a God to so many people. We need to pray, not only for our-selves, but for each other!

Ask God to help us all, for we are not standing alone, he is always with us.

I have so many people ask me to write in the paper. I’ve been told I speak the truth

and encourage others! This made me feel good, because if we could each help one person, each of us. What a great world this would be!

I am glad for the words of inspiration and feel good about helping others feel good, and know we are not alone.

My husband is a little over four years pancreatic cancer surgery, but the damage he sustained post-op, well, I ask God always to help heal him!!

In less than a week a doctor who has given him hope for a better day with his body, will be God’s instrument with many other doc-tors by her side.

So on Sept.13, join in prayer God’s light, love and healing for a man who deserves to feel well again.

He is truly a gift, just as each one of us are a gift!

What we choose to do with the gifts of Life, God only knows. God Bless us all.

Northway opens commercial offi ce in Manchester area

MANCHESTER -- Northway Bank has opened a commercial banking offi ce in suburban Manchester, fur-ther expanding into southern New Hampshire.

The new Bedford offi ce opened Sep-tember 1, and will specialize in com-mercial loans for area businesses.

“It’s no secret that we want to expand our business lending while also expanding into parts of the state that have yet to experience our brand of community banking,” says Victor C. Levesque, Northway’s director of com-mercial banking. “The new commer-cial banking offi ce in Bedford helps achieve both of those goals.”

With roots in New Hampshire extending back more than a century, Northway has long maintained a strong presence in the northern and central portions of the state. The bank expanded into southern New Hampshire for the fi rst time last year, opening a full-service banking center in Concord. The new Bedford offi ce underscores Northway’s commitment to southern New Hampshire.

“We’re committed to deliberately, but prudently growing throughout the state, expanding into markets where

our approach to community banking can meet a need for local businesses and families,” says Richard Olson, director of consumer and small busi-ness banking. “We believe Bedford is one of those markets where we, as an independent, community bank, can offer the best of both worlds – the products and services of a larger bank with the local decision making, hands-on, community-oriented approach of a smaller one.”

Key personnel in the Bedford offi ce include:

* Donna Ehrler—Senior Vice President/Market Manager

* Dave Peterson—Vice President/Commercial Relationship Manager

* Deborah Blair—Loan Assistant * Kristy Comarcho—Vice Presi-

dent/Manager, Cash Management & Commercial Business Services

* Eric Boucher—Mortgage Loan Offi cer

Northway is the largest indepen-dent commercial community bank in New Hampshire. Aside from the new commercial banking offi ce in Bedford, Northway also operates 17 full-service banking centers throughout the state.

FINANCIAL FOCUS Grandparents May Need to Balance Gifts and Goals

Grandparents Day falls on Sept. 11 this year. While not as widely observed as Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, Grandparents Day nonetheless serves a valuable purpose in reminding us of the importance of grandparents in the lives of their grandchildren. If you’re a grandparent yourself, yo u already know the joy your grandchildren bring you, and through the years, you have probably been generous with them in many ways. At the same time, though, you probably need to strike a balance between your heartfelt gifts and your financial goals. It can be challenging to achieve that balance. For one thing, you and your fellow grandparents have not been stingy in your giving over the past several years. America’s grandparents provided an estimated $370 billion in financial support to their grandchildren between 2004 and 2009, according to a survey by the MetLife Mature Market Institute. This averages out to $8,661 per grandparent household over that same period. However, many of these same grandparents may not be accumulating sufficient financial resources to enjoy the retirement lifestyle they’ve envisioned. In fact, the median balance of retirement accounts for 55- to 64-year-olds is only about $100,000, according to the Center for Retirement Research. That’s not a lot of money for an age group that could spend two or even three decades in retirement. So, as a grandparent, what steps might you take to bolster your retirement savings while simultaneously helping your grandchildren? Here are a few ideas: •Maintain permanent life insurance. Once your children are grown, you may feel less compelled to carry life insurance. But the right type of life insurance can benefit you throughout your life. Permanent life insurance offers you the chance to build cash value, which you may be able to access, depending upon the specifics of your policy. And you can name your grandchildren as beneficiaries of your policy. •Open a 529 plan. Use the money you’re already gifting to fund a 529 plan to help your grandchildren pay for college. These plans have generous contribution guidelines, and withdrawals are tax-free, provided the money is used for qualified expenses. There may be state tax incentives available to in-state residents who invest in their home state’s 529 plan. And a 529 plan offers you a degree of flexibility; if the beneficiary grandchild decides to forgo college, you can transfer the unused funds to another grandchild, tax and penalty free. However, withdrawals used for expenses other than qualified education expenses may be subject to federal and state taxes, plus a 10% penalty. •Contribute to a Roth Individual Retirement Account (IRA). The Roth IRA is a powerful retirement savings vehicle. You can fund your IRA with virtually any type of investment, such as stocks, bonds and government securities, and your earnings grow tax free, provided you don’t take withdrawals until you’re at least age 59 1 ⁄ 2 and you’ve held your account at least five years. Your grandchildren may appreciate your generosity, but they’ll also no doubt want you to enjoy a comfortable retirement. As always, you need to do what makes sense for your situation. You may find there are ways to help both your grandchildren and yourself. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

but rather makes three very important changes to our gun laws, including two changes that came in direct response to problems encountered by law-abiding gun owners. I applaud these Second Amendment groups for coming forward today and working together in support of overriding the gov-ernor’s veto of this important legislation,” said House Majority Leader DJ Bettencourt.

Law enforcement offi cials across the ranks have criticized the bill and its possible fi nal approval saying it would turn the streets of New Hamp-shire into the “Wild West” and point out that it is already legal to use deadly force in response to deadly force inside and outside one’s own home.

Last week, Berlin Police Chief Peter Morency weighed in on the bill while speaking to the Police Commission at their regular monthly meeting.

“This is too reckless of a law to have out there,” he said.

Morency explained that he is the fi rst to say everyone has a right to defend themselves, but said that he feels the politics around this bill has been misleading to gun rights advocates and gun owners. The problem with the bill, in his opinion, is that it’s all about judgment, leaving it to each individual person’s own perception to determine whether or not someone dies.

“It’s not going to work,” he said, pointing out that in other states where similar laws were enacted, shootings increased signifi cantly. “The (current) law works the way it is.”

SB88 expands the use of deadly force in self-defense by allowing a person who is anywhere they have a right to be to use deadly force to protect themselves or a third person. It also “inserts a civil immunity provision for the use of force against a perpetrator in certain circumstances. Deletes the minimum mandatory sentencing requirement for felony convictions which include the possession, use, or attempted use of a fi rearm. Amends the defi nition of “non-deadly force” to include the act of producing or displaying a weapon.”

Among the bill’s many sponsors is Senator John Gallus (R-Berlin), who voted in favor of the measure in June. Coos Representatives also voting in favor include: Duffy Daughterty (R-Cole-brook), Laurence Rappaport (R-Colebrook), Wil-liam Remick (R-Lancaster), Herbert Richardson (R-Lancaster), John Tholl (R-Whitefi eld), Yvonne Thomas (D-Berlin), and Marc Tremblay (R-Ber-lin).

Gary Coulombe (D-Berlin), William Hatch (D-Gorham), Evalyn Merrick (D-Lancaster), Robert Theberge (D-Berlin), voted against SB88.

Fall hydrant fl ushing scheduled in Berlin

For the next few weeks, the Berlin Water Works will be fl ushing hydrants during the daytime hours from Monday through Friday throughout the City.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Projects have been derailed, and now -- due in some part to your ingenuity -- things are getting back on track. You’ll affi rm your position and resume your place in a team effort. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are not tempted by the things that others in your group fi nd irresistible. Therefore, you will be better suited to a certain task today. People will depend on you, and you will come through brilliantly. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have many ideas and not enough time to act on all of them. However, the ones you do act on will make quite an impression. Tonight you’ll get a mes-sage from someone surprising. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You invite your favorite people to events you think will be fun, but you should also invite them to events you think will be laborious, tedious or boring. Because when you are in good company, the time zips by. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll feel comfortable enough to relax and be you. You’ll accept that your feelings are neither wrong nor right -- they just are. When you’re no longer worried about making an impression, that’s when you make the best one. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be moved to turn up the volume in the ways you express yourself. It feels good to be effusive, showing your love with great enthusiasm. Others see you as courageous in this regard. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It will be very tempting to diversify your inter-ests, hedge your bets or investigate new options. However, the real success secret is to pick one interest, bet or option and obsess over it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You

have the ability to doodle your way out of a problem. Whether you think you can draw or consider yourself a creative person won’t matter in this instance. Wisdom will be released as you drag your pen across the paper. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your self-image is changing, and your style refl ects this. You may be inspired to take charge of your wardrobe. You want to wear your clothes instead of letting your clothes wear you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Political moves will affect you, particu-larly on the job. Your work situation may seem, in some regard, glaringly unfair. Then again, if you don’t look for rea-sons to be disgruntled, you won’t fi nd them. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re not trying to win an award or anything. But still, you’ll appreciate the accolades coming your way before the month is over. You’ll see the fi rst signs of success today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Pub-licity is a necessity in most lines of business. Unless you are a spy, don’t try to go under the radar now. Dare to dramatize your work. You could use the attention, and eventually that attention will translate into money. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 7). This year you’ll strike a happy balance between your personal relationships, professional interests and favorite hob-bies. Your expertise will earn you money and privileges in October. December brings a chance to travel and gather new fans. An unexpected turn in Janu-ary shows you a different part of life. Aries and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 14, 23, 35 and 18.

DEAR ABBY: My son’s girlfriend is pregnant. I think there is a chance it may not be his, although she claims it is. “Ben” met “Christy,” and a little over a week later she announced she was pregnant. She’s now 34 weeks into the pregnancy. I have asked him repeatedly if he is sure the baby is his and he says yes, but the math doesn’t seem right to me. I have suggested Ben seek a paternity test, but I don’t think he’s go-ing to take my advice. I am not the only person who is questioning this, and I feel terrible for having the doubt. He has asked Christy to marry him and she accepted. I couldn’t believe it. They were going to marry that same month, but when Ben mentioned a pre-nuptial agreement to protect the real estate and other prop-erty he owns (and that I’m fi nancially involved in), Christy blew up! She just about kicked Ben to the curb. Now, thank-fully, the wedding is postponed. Christy’s overboard reaction has added to my suspicion. What do you think, Abby? -- SUS-PICIOUS DAD IN RHODE ISLAND DEAR DAD: I agree that before your son marries Christy, everything should be out in the open. Regardless of whose child she is carrying, your son may be in love with her and it may not matter to him. If the child is indeed his, a paternity test would lay any doubts to rest. That said, I spoke with my gynecologist and asked how long after conception it would take for a pregnancy to show up in a test, and was told the answer is one week AFTER A WOMAN’S PERIOD IS LATE. For Ben not to insist on having

a prenuptial agreement under these circumstances would be a mistake, and I hope he will reconsider. DEAR ABBY: My mother died suddenly three years ago and my sister overdosed a year later. I didn’t know she was so depressed. Her son, “Jordan,” is the joy of my life. Every time I watch him, all I can think of is “Why?” Why did my sister choose to leave us alone? I don’t know how to move on when I look at Jordan and think of my sister. Please help. -- LEFT WITH THE MEMORIES DEAR LEFT: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the multiple losses you have suffered. Although you feel left alone by your sister’s suicide, the truth is you are NOT alone. In the United States, millions of people’s lives have been touched by suicide -- whether it was that of a colleague, friend or a family member. That you are reminded of your sister when you see your nephew is a normal reaction. When your sister overdosed, she may have been acting on impulse and trying to end what she perceived to be intoler-able psychic pain. Please contact the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Among the many programs it offers is a listing of local support groups for survivors. The website is www.afsp.org; the phone number is (888) 333-2377. Author Eric Marcus has written an excellent book on this subject, “Why Suicide?” published by Harper One. He, like you, is a survivor of suicide, and you may fi nd the answers you’re looking for by reading it.

International Coin Collectors Association hosting Gorham event all week

Buying Coins, Paper Currency, Gold and SilverGORHAM — Currently on a global tour, the Inter-

national Coin Collectors Association (ICCA) will be making a stop in Gorham, New Hampshire at the Town and Country Inn, located at 20 US Route 2, on Tuesday, September 6 through Saturday, Septem-ber 10. The show hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. The ICCA will be purchasing coins, paper currency, gold and silver on behalf of their global network of collectors, dealers and refi neries. This special event is free and open to the public.

ICCA spokesman Mark Cooper says, “We hope to spend at least $250,000 while we are in town, pur-chasing people’s old coin collections, vintage bank notes and scrap gold and silver. It’s been all over the news – gold and silver are trading at record highs – and people everywhere are scrambling to cash in. We buy a lot of class rings, mismatched earrings and broken necklaces. Just a small handful of gold can add up to hundreds of dollars very quickly.” Cooper continues, “Old coins are also very valuable. An ultra-rare 1894 S Barber dime sold for a whopping $1.9 million in 2007. We recently paid $120,000 for a coin collection in N.C. and even $300 for a single penny in Ga. I encourage everyone to clean out their

drawers, lock boxes, jewelry boxes and bring their items to our show for a free evaluation and perhaps walk out a little richer!”

Traveling from small towns to large cities, the ICCA hosts hundreds of events each year where local residents are encouraged to bring in their pre-cious metals, old coins and paper money to earn extra cash. While meeting one-on-one with each guest, the ICCA specialists review, research and evaluate the items and will make an offer to pur-chase all gold coins, silver coins made before 1965 and paper money printed prior to 1934. The amount of the offer depends on the silver or gold content, the collectability, the rarity and the condition of the items. If the guest decides to accept the offer made, a check will be issued on the spot.

Parent company of the ICCA, THR & Associates is the largest and most-successful company of its kind in the world. On the leading edge of the pre-cious metals, antiquities and collectibles industries, THR & Associates is headquartered in Springfi eld, Ill. with bases in Canada and Europe.

GROVETON — After a couple of weeks off, the sound of racing motors will again be heard this Saturday night at Groveton, NH’s Riverside Speedway. It will be the Jiffy Mart/ Bond Auto Parts/ Eastman Trophy and Kids Only Day Care Fan Appre-ciation night on Saturday September 10th at the 1/4 mile oval, beginning at 4 PM.

“Wow what a show we are going to have,” said General Manager Jean LeBlanc. “First and foremost our family will be hosting a 2 for 1 fan appreciation night. That allows two adults in for the price of one. We have some of the best racing fans in the northeast and its our way of saying thanks.”

On the racing card, the Angel divi-

sion will be running three 25 lap races. After each race, the fi eld will be inverted with the winner earning one point, second place two points and so on. The driver that accumu-lates the fewest points after the three races will be the overall winner.

The Speedway will also have two triple crown series that will be con-cluded on Saturday. The Bond Auto Parts Street Stock Triple Crown Series has had 20 plus cars enter in each of their fi rst two races. That title is up for grabs and may see some local invaders from other tracks. The track is allowing the Thunder Road Street Stocks to run their cars as is. The Cyclones will be running their 100 lap event, so there may have up to 30 cars trying to qualify for the 50

lap feature. Ben Belanger #99 leads the series at 114 points, followed by Jamie Swallow Jr. in the #04x at 108 points and in third place is the hard charging Jason Kenison with 104 points.

The other series that is set crown a champion is the Kids Only Day Care Cyclone/Enduro series. The dis-tance is 100 laps and currently the top fi ve drivers are just 20 points a part. Leader Jason Wyman #88 and Nick Pilotte #11 are dead locked at 198 points. Dana Graham #9- 190, Cyclone point leader Cole Kilby #66- 188, and Jeff Ainsworth #41- 178 points, all have a legitimate shot at a title.

The JA Corey/US Cellular Outlaw/Sportsman points battle will take

center stage as Riverside Speedway’s fastest growing division will run a 35 lap feature event. “The Outlaws continue to be one of the most excit-ing divisions at Riverside Speedway,” said LeBlanc. “We have good point battles through out the standings for the championship and rookie of the year honors. We have been getting a few new drivers as of late and it won’t be long before our fi eld reaches 20 cars. That would be spectacular.”

The other divisions on hand for the special evening will include the Youth Daredevils and the Twisted Tea Dwarf cars.

Berlin boys hold off tough Belmont 1-0BELMONT -- Berlin’s Ryan Rich-

ard scored the only goal of the fi rst half and senior goal tender Curtis Arsenault kept the Raiders off the scoreboard, leading the Mountain-eers to a hard fought 1-0 boys varsity soccer match in Belmont Wednesday.

Richard’s goal at 36:25 was assisted by teammate Dimitri Giannos. The goal came off a direct kick on the right side of the 18yrd box. Giannos sent in a lazer between two Belmont play-ers and Richard tipped it in from fi ve yards out.

“Great game today,” said coach Craig Melanson. “The kids played very hard. It was warm and muggy so come the second half the kids ran out of some steam. The fi rst half we controlled the ball very well in their end. The center, mids and forwards really strung some great passing together and pinned

them in for quite some time. Our fi rst chance came about 15 minutes into the match. Connor Jewett made a great move on the wing and beat their defender down the line. He sent in a great ball to Jake Drouin. Their keeper committed to Jewett thus leav-ing Drouin wide open. The ball had some spin on it so Jake just redirected on to an open net. The Brace kid (their goal tender) bounced back diving and got a hand on it tipping it straight into the air then catching it (ESPN highlight- Top 10). Five minutes later, Connor Jewett made a great move on their right side back and blasted far side. Brace went fully extended and got a hand on it and defl ected it wide.”

In the second half, the momentum of the game seemed to change direc-tion. “In the second half Belmont pressed pretty hard,” Melanson con-tinued. “They were very quick and they started to stretch it out on us

with some 15yrd passes trying to split the midfi elders and run onto the ball. They had three great opportunities right in front of the net throughout the half and Curtis made three great saves coming off of his line to cut off the angle and getting his body on the ball(s) to make the saves.”

Arsenault and his team mates were able to keep the very strong Belmont squad from scoring and keeping their record unblemished at 2-0.

“Travis Lapointe, Zack Bacon, Quinn Morrissette, Jeremy Rivard and Jesse DeBlois were very, very solid on defense,” Melanson praised. “Ethan Dorval, Dimitri Giannos and Brad Boucher controlled in the mid-fi eld winning some key 50/50 balls for us and transitioning the play to our advantage. Connor Jewett had his best game for us today. He was our spark plug on the outside. Jake Drouin is getting better and better

each time he steps on the fi eld for us, his soccer sense and control of the game is amazing. Belmont was in better shape than us and that showed down the stretch. Belmont is one of the teams that is going to make some noise in Division III. They are very well coached and do some great things. It was a battle out there today and both team were exhausted at the end of the 80 minutes.”

The Mountaineers are off to a good start for 2011. Coach Melanson is usu-ally correct on his assessments of his opponents. Melanson is usually very modest when it comes to the Berlin Mountaineers. From our stand point, Belmont and others need to keep an eye on the Mountaineers.

Crusaders nip Huskies in double overtime, 1-0

GORHAM -- Sam Brammer took a centering pass at the top of the box and fought off a Huskie defender and then picked the far left corner of the goal, depositing the game winning goal and lifting Littleton to an excit-ing and hard fought 1-0 victory over Gorham, in a boy’s Division III soccer match in Gorham Thursday.

The action was up and down the fi eld all game long, with several scor-ing chances for both teams. Gorham goal keeper Tyler Sanschagrin and Littleton’s Tom Quinlinn were very good for their respective teams. Up front, the Huskies goal scorers, held their head in frustration on numerous occasions, narrowly missing shot after shot and even a sold hit of a cross bar during regulation.

In the fi rst overtime, the Huskie’s Sanschagrin played aggressively in goal, stopping two wide open break aways. Sanschagrin gobbled up the ball one time before the Littleton for-ward could make a move around him.

The second time, the shot sailed just over the cross bar, keeping the Hus-kies from the jaws of defeat.

However, there was just 8:31 left to go in the second over time, when the very athletic Brammer used his size to shield off a Huskie defender, leaving him to have a great scoring chance. Brammer did not rush his opportunity, taking the time to fi nd Sanschagrin in the center of his net and picking the far left corner to place his shot. His shot was very accurate, just outside the desperate reach of the diving Huskie net minder to give his team the huge victory.

The Huskies will get a chance to enjoy the holiday weekend, before hit-ting the road next Tuesday. Gorham will travel to Lisbon to take on the always tough Lisbon Panthers.

Hood paces Mounties past Spartans, 4-0

BERLIN -- Senior Megan Hood scored two goals and assisted on the other two, leading the Mounties to an opening day 4-0 victory over the White Mountain Regional Spartans in a girl’s Division III fi eld hockey game in Berlin recently.

The lone goal in the fi rst half began with Emily Landry fi nding Hood in the center of the fi eld in front of the Spartan net. A quick re-direction by Hood to team mate Rachel Thomp-son, got the home town girls on the board with a 1-0 lead.

Mountie goal keeper, Morgan Ouellet, had a save in the fi rst half, while her oppo-nent, Abby Toune had to make four blocks. Berlin held an 8-3 advantage in corners.

“The girls got stron-ger as the game went along,” said mentor Nicole Arguin. “The second half the girls became more confi -dent in their play.”

The stronger play led to three second half goals for the Lady Mountaineers. Sopho-more forward Carly Perreault was the fi rst to fi nd the back of the net from Hood and Lindsey Couture.

Hood went from play maker to goal getter on the next two Berlin goals. The Landry to Hood connection got the Berlin squad to a 4-0 advantage. Solid defensive play kept the visitors off the score board giving the Berlin girls a good start to 2011.

The Spartan’s Toune fi nished the game

with 10 saves. Berlin’s Ouellet had two blocks for the Lady Mountain-eers. Berlin out-cornered their guests 13 to six.

The Lady Mountaineers will get a good test on Friday. Berlin travels to Canaan NH and battles Mascoma Valley Regional high school.

The Lady Royals are always a solid squad.

GORHAM -- The Littleton girl’s soccer team scored two goals in the fi rst half and then added three more in the second and went on to defeat the Lady Huskies 5-0 in Gorham Thursday.

Crusader players Sidney Pinard and Julia Wynn scored goals at 7:53 and 15:22 of the fi rst half to put Little-ton up 2-0 by the intermission break.

The Littleton defense was sound and kept Huskie snipers Leslee Keni-son and Lily Keenan under a close watch through out the contest.

Littleton found the back of the Huskie net three more times in the

second half, to make the fi nal score 5-0.

For the game, Littleton goal tender Taylor Glidden had two blocks. Huskie keeper Casandra Poulin had fi ve saves in the Gorham goal.

“Littleton has a very experienced team,” said Gorham coach Jeff Stew-art. “ We have a lot of young players that will just get better every time we step onto the fi eld.”

The Lady Huskies will get the Holi-day weekend off. Gorham travels to Lisbon on Tuesday.

Lady Mountaineers overcome slow start, defeat Royals 3-1

CANAAN — Berlin’s Megan Hood continued her torrid offensive pace by scoring a pair of goals and assisting on the other, helping her team mates over come a slow start and go on to defeat Mascoma Valley Regional 3-1 in Canaan Friday.

The Lady Mountaineers found themselves trailing at half time 1-0. At 19:26 of the fi rst half, Mascoma converted on a corner in the Berlin zone. The Royals’ Emily Seimans was credited for the goal off of her shot that was defl ected up into the air and over Berlin goal keeper Morgan Ouellet for a 1-0 lead. Ouellet fi nished the fi rst half with two blocks and her oppo-nent, Kiah Larimee had fi ve saves. Berlin held the edge in corners 5-2.

The second half was all Mounties, as the Berlin girls may be establish-ing their niche for 2011 as being a slow starting team. The Berlin girls netted three goals to take the come behind 3-1 victory.

At 12:30 of the second half, Carly Perreault tied things up 1-1 with assists from Emily Landry and Hood.

Landry got the ball into the circle and over to Hood. The Berlin sniper got the ball to Perreault for the fi nishing touch. The goal was Perreault’s second of the year.

Hood got the game winner and insurance goals at 13:24 and 24:37 of the second half. Monique Demers and Lindsey Couture were the play makers on the fi rst goal and Perreault helped on the insurance counter for the 3-1 advantage. The goals were Hood’s third and fourth on the Fall.

Mascoma’s Larimee had 10 blocks in a much busier second half. Ouellet had one save to notch her second win of the Fall. Berlin held the edge in cor-ners 5-3 in the second half.

The Lady Mountaineers will be get-ting a huge test on Tuesday afternoon. Berlin travels to Kennett high school to take on the Eagles in an interdivi-sional contest.
