Berlin council discusses pay-as-you-throw system BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – The city council Monday night listened to a presentation on instituting a pay-as-youthrow program for residential solid waste but the body expressed reservations about moving to such a system in Berlin. Charged with looking at ways to increase the city’s dismal 10 percent recycling rate, Public Works Director Michael Perreault invited Sarah Nichols, a solid waste management specialist with ReCap Solutions to describe the pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) system. ReCap is a non-profit community development corporation based in Gardner, Mass. Nichols explained that PAYT charges residents a

small fee for each trash bag of solid waste they generate. Usually, that is accomplished by charging a fee for the bags themselves and requiring residents to use the bags. The goal is to provide a financial inventive for households to generate less waste and recycle more. Those households who generate less waste, pay less. It is also viewed, she said, as a more fair way to distribute the costs of solid waste management. Nichols noted there is a financial motive for the city to increase recycling. Berlin currently pays $67 a ton to dispose of solid waste at the Mount Carberry landfill. In 2010, the city generated 4,000 tons of solid waste, which cost $268,000 in tipping fees. In addition, residents generated 465 tons of recyclables

that otherwise would have cost the city $31,155 in tipping fees. Nichols said the city’s ten percent recycling rate compares to 34 percent countywide and 22 percent for the entire state. She reported that communities that implement a PAYT system generally see an approximately 40 percent reduction in solid waste in the first year. If Berlin were able to achieve that level, Nichols said it would save $119,662 in tipping fees. At the same time the city would realize a $414,027 profit from the sale of the bags. The result would be a reduction from $898,980 to $365,291, in the city’s total solid waste budget, which includes salaries and benefits see COUNCIL page 3

Work on Berlin kiosk set to begin in March

Mark Belanger and JoAnn Roy, members of the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce, built the 3-D model of the proposed New Hampshire Grand kiosks to be located throughout Coos County.

BERLIN - Construction of the first New Hampshire Grand kiosk, to be placed in downtown Berlin, is scheduled to begin in March. Under the streetscape design developed by the Moving Downtown Forward action plan, the kiosk will be placed at the entrance of the downtown on land owned by Public Service of N.H, just north of Kelley's Auto Parts. The kiosk will contain information on the city and its history. Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce officials have built a 3-D model of the proposed kiosk that will be on display at the chamber's annual dinner on Feb. 24. New Hampshire Grand received a $200,000 grant from the Northern Border Regional Commission last October to construct visitor kiosks and wayfinding signage through-

out Coos County. NH Grand officials have also met with Groveton and Twin Mountain to determine key locations there and have plans to meet with other chambers and development groups throughout the region in the coming months. “These kiosks will help bring more visitors to Coos County and continue to help us tap into the economic benefits of tourism in this region. We also believe it will help support job creation and retention,” said Cathy Conway, vice president of economic cevelopment for NCIC. “Tourism is one of the region’s leading economic drivers, and these signs and kiosks will help tell the visitor how to move around the county and discover all that it has to offer. It will benefit the local communities in beautification see KIOSK page 7

Today High: 27 Record: 61 (1950) Sunrise: 7:10 a.m.

(NY Times) — The year Leroy MacKlem lost his veterans disability compensation for a bad hip, gasoline cost 27 cents a gallon, a Yankee shortstop named Rizzuto was the American League’s most valuable player and President Harry S. Truman ordered production of the hydrogen bomb. It was 1950. He is about to get it back. All of it. In a case as much about government bungling as one man’s perseverance, the Department of Veterans Affairs said last week that it would end years of litigation and repay Mr. MacKlem, 88, for six decades’ worth of disputed disability compensation, about $400,000. MacKlem’s case shines new light on a process, later disallowed by federal courts, that the department used in 2007 and 2008 to review large awards. The number of cases reversed under that process is not known, but Mr. MacKlem’s victory is sure to give hope to scores of veterans looking to appeal decisions from that period. The case is also a reminder of how disputes over veterans’ benefits can drag on for decades after wars end. Of the 850,000 disability claims currently pending before the department, more than 35,000, or 4 percent, are from World War II veterans. “MacKlem is now the poster boy for all these cases,” said Mike Viterna, MacKlem’s lawyer and president of the National Organization of Veterans Advocates.

Two hostages rescued from Somali pirates KHARTOUM, Sudan (NY Times) — American Navy Seals swooped into Somalia early on Wednesday and rescued two aid workers, an American woman and a Danish man, after a shootout with Somali gunmen who had been holding them captive in a sweltering desert hide-out for months. Under a cloak of darkness, a couple of dozen Seals parachuted in, stormed the hideout, killed nine gunmen and then whisked

the aid workers into waiting helicopters, Pentagon officials said. The Seals were from the same elite Navy commando unit — Seal Team Six — that secretly entered Pakistan to kill Osama Bin Laden in May, senior American officials said, though the rescue mission in Somalia was carried out by a different assault team within the unit.

near zero beyond mid-2013, its previous estimate, the Fed hopes to hasten that process somewhat by reducing the cost of borrowing. The Fed said in a statement that the economy had expanded “moderately” in recent weeks, but that unemployment remained at a high level, the housing sector remained in a deep depression, and the possibility of a new financial crisis in Europe continued to threaten the domestic economy.

CAIRO (NY Times) — Egyptians gathered in Tahrir Square, the crucible of their revolution, on Wednesday in a mixture of celebration and agitation to mark the first anniversary of the protests that forced out Hosni Mubarak, the former president. By midmorning, tens of thousands of people had packed the square here, smiling, cheering and waving Egyptian flags, but it was already evident that the spirit that unified last year’s uprising had been replaced by new tensions between Egyptian political factions over their view of the military rulers who took power when Mr. Mubarak was ousted. The Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist movement that won nearly half the seats in the newly elected Parliament, sent many of its followers to the square.

At a Jan. 18 budget committee meeting Oliver addressed the issues saying that the town had worked with Currier for years. “Last night enough was enough,” he said, noting that the property owner has a pattern of paying “for a month or two and then he stops.” After a period of inactivity, a business has begun operating out of the North Main Street building. It was not immediately clear what kind of business operates in the former trucking company space or

fine for people who do not participate. She said non-compliance has not been a problem in other communities that use PAYT. After the system is implemented, she said residents generally like it. “More and more towns are doing this,” she said. Councilor Lucie Remillard said the city is looking at all options available to increase recycling. She said she did not know if PAYT is the answer. Grenier said he viewed PAYT as an option to consider after the city has exhausted all other avenues to increase recycling. He said he has heard from a lot of residents that Public Works employees have been throwing newspapers in with solid waste instead of handling them with the recyclables. He said he believes there is some internal educating to do and suggested setting up a subcommittee with employees. Perreault said he has addressed the issue that arose over the handling of newspapers. He said there had been a decline in solid waste tonnage for a couple of years and there were fears among employees that would lead to lay-offs. He said employees have been assured that is not the case. Nichols said the council could look at rewarding people who recycle as an alternative to a PAYT system. She said she is available as a resource to the council. Grenier said 10 percent recycling is an unacceptable number and stressed that said he wants to reduce the tonnage that goes to Mount Carberry. He said the city also has some internal housekeeping to do. The council thanked Nichols for her presentation and the written material she provided. how many people it employs. On an average weekday around a dozen vehicles can be seen parked near the front of the building. A request for comment from the business’ manager was not answered. Frost said that the issue of the town taking the property for taxes will be back on the agenda at the upcoming meeting of the board of selectmen on Jan. 30. She said potential environmental issues may exist at the site and the selectmen will need to discuss that before moving forward.

At a 25 percent reduction level, the city would see a $74,789 reduction in tipping fees and realize a $517,534 profit from the trash bags. While households would pay for bags, Nichols said total costs would be less with PAYT as long as residents reuse, reduce, and recycle. She reminded the council that households currently pay for waste disposal through taxes. Under a PAYT system, families that recycle more would pay less for solid waste disposal. The system would also reduce waste going into the Mount Carberry landfill, increasing its lifespan and/or allowing the solid waste to accept more waste from outside communities at higher fees to the district which includes Berlin. Councilor Roland Theberge noted that composting is one of the activities recommended as a means of reducing solid waste. He said backyard compost piles tend to attract bears and other wildlife. Perreault said some communities sell special composting containers to avoid that problem. Mayor Paul Grenier said he was not convinced PAYT was an ideal solution for Berlin. He said he believes the average family in the city does recycle but feels there are elements that do not participate.

Thank you to the Gorham budget committee To the editor: How fortunate you are to have a great budget committee working for you. Taking a position on a budget committee is no easy task. Once a committee member, you are at the mercy of the town employees and their friends. No fun! Residents of Gorham and other tax payers within the town of Gorham should give the committee members all the support they deserve. When the Berlin tax payers was functioning, we did have the support of the community but it was hell from the “Big

Me” citizens. The best government a community can have is when the majority of the people are in control of the budget, not the town employees. Your town manager knew when she took the job that Gorham was in a tight spot. She has lost sight of her purpose or she took the job not knowing what was expected of her. So where is the budget committee at now? Thank you budget committee. Gorham tax payers for over 69 years The Tupick Family

Once upon a Berlin Time

1964 VIII

Hello fellow Berlinites. Just recently, it was announced that the building that once housed Converse and Bass Shoe on the Jericho Road would be dealt with in some form or another. This building was expanded in 1964 and has not had any operations in it since 1987. In November of 1964, it was announced that Berlin would be all dressed up with new street signs. This work would take quite a few months to complete, but everybody would be able to read these signs without any difficulty. This was because of a new machine that had been purchased by the city. It would be even cheaper to make the new signs, as compared to the old ones. Before 1964, Berlin had bronze and aluminum cast signs that cost between ten and eighteen dollars a piece. The new signs would now cost only five dollars to make. At this time in Berlin’s history, there were more than 200 street signs counted among the missing, to say nothing about the hundreds that needed replacement. So, the savings were thousands of dollars for the city. The new street signs would be made of aluminum with scotchlite facings. This new material would reflect headlights, so the street names could be read in the dark. City Engineer Clarence Brungot said that these new signs would be placed on their own posts about seven feet from the ground, so that they could be easily seen. I remember the old black street signs with white lettering that adorned telephone poles and sides of houses, denoting the street names. I am not quite sure if the new signs developed by the city of Berlin in 1964 are the same as today (2012). How times have changed for sports in Berlin. In November of 1964, the headlines on the sporting page read: “62 hockey candidates vie for jobs on BHS ice squad”. I am sure many more also tried out for the Notre Dame team. I believe the paper stated that the candidates who tried out for hockey at BHS this year (2011-12) numbered under twenty and a J.V. team had to be assembled with this. Under Coach Bradley in the fall of 1964, the first of four practices were going to be held on Hebron Academy’s ice starting November 21. In addition, the squad would travel to Northfield, Vermont where practice sessions had been arranged on the artificial ice surface of Norwich University. Berlin was truly living up to its name as “Hockey town” back then. Also during the 1964-1965 sports season,

Berlin High School fielded a great ski team that competed all over the state. What made history, was the ski area that these young boys built, so that they could practice. The cost for this project was thirty dollars plus gas. BHS skiers had always faced a problem of where to practice slalom and giant slalom. The old area which was on the side of Mt. Jasper had been used on and off, but skiers spent more time getting and keeping it in shape than skiing. Sometimes they would pack their gear into car and travel to any windswept hill for a workout on a Saturday. Also, they would occasionally go to the new Wildcat ski area, but transportation became a problem. In the fall of 1964, under the guidance of Coach George Lewis, members of the Berlin High ski team, working side by side with their elders, built a slope. This slope was to have a double purpose, as it gave the ski team its real first opportunity to practice both types of slalom previously mentioned. It also became a great spot for youngsters of either sex to develop their skills and it eventually turned out to be a great ski area for everybody. This area at the end of Twelfth Street was a good sized slope to the west of the old jump (Junior Nansen), which was on land owned by the Nansen Ski Club. The ski team worked on this slope five weekends and fifteen afternoons after school, before the winter set in. The land was cleared, bulldozed and raked. It was big enough to set up eight to ten gates for giant slalom or fifteen gates for slalom and full courses. Coach Lewis said that it made a great skiing center for the boys and girls ski teams. In addition to the jump next door, this area served as a starting and finishing point for the cross country ski course. The ski teams were now able to practice all four competitive events at the same place and at the same time. I wonder how long the high school used this locale. I do know that they haven’t had a ski team for many years, which is really sad, because we do live in the middle of ski country. I am sure that this is all because of funding. I wonder how many ski team members recall this great project. Here are the names that go along with the 1964-65 BHS ski team picture.

What great memories! Finally, at the end of 1964, one project got started and another was in the wind for the city of Berlin. Work on Berlin’s new federal building (post office) finally got underway. The target date for it to be complete was in November of 1965. It was being constructed by contractor Lawrence Richards at a price tag of $327,500. With this, the Swift and Company, which operated where the new building was going to be built, had to move. Also the other businesses that were here, such as the Berlin Tallow Company and Stahl’s coal sheds were all torn down. The federal building, at the corner of Exchange and Pleasant Streets, would cover 16,000 square feet when completed. As mentioned, Richards and Son was the prime contractor, with Raymond Binette doing

the electrical work and Fitzmaurice Plumbing and Heating of Whitefield doing what they did best. The rest of the job contractors came from a long distance. I believe that this building was completed on schedule. Last, but not least, in the history of 1964 for this city, was the story about creating a 139 acre lake as a possible part of flood control for the Dead River watershed. The conception of this new project was now about to take shape, placing it four miles from the center of town. The lake would be located behind a control dam on Jericho Brook, about one mile off route 110. This proposal had two dams being built for flood control. One would be on Jericho Brook and the other would be on the Dead River near Lessard’s crossing. The Lessard site never took shape, but Jericho Lake and its recreation vicinity certainly became reality, a boon to this city and is still developing further today (2012).

resource to be used for injured riders and hikers. He said the proposed vehicle would be a utility terrain vehicle capable of negotiating rough terrain in any season. It would have a specialized medical transport skid attached to the cargo bed that could accommodate a patient and medical attendant as well as medical supplies. Gomes said Fish and Game officials met with the club last spring and encouraged the organization to lead an effort to purchase an emergency rescue vehicle. Last summer, Gomes said there were several remote rescues that could have used such equipment. He said there was one incident in Jericho Mountain State Park last summer that took hours to rescue the accident victim. As more people use Jericho park and make Berlin a destination, Gomes said the need for an emergency response vehicle will grow. He said assuring visitors the region has the best emergency equipment and trained first responders as well as top notch trails will encourage them to come here. Last October, Gomes said the club applied for a $20,000 grant from the Neil and Louise Tillotson Charitable Foundation for the vehicle. He said the club included letters of support from area fire departments, rescue squads, as well as the state Fish and Game and the Bureau of Trails. Despite that, the grant was not approved, in part because the club had received one the previous year for its warming hut at Jericho Mountain State Park. Gomes said the club was encouraged by the Tillotson staff to apply again this April and advised to include donors willing to commit to the project. So far, he said the snowmobile club has committed to funding $2,000, the Androscoggin Valley ATV Club has pledged $1,000, and the town of Milan agreed to donate $500. Gomes said he has secured over $10,000 in in-

kind donations of labor and supplier discounts and the club plans to raise over $6,000 by running fund-raisers and asking riders for donations. The emergency response vehicle would be available for rescue throughout the region although Gomes said he thought it would be used mostly on this side of the county. It would be housed in a dedicated trailer that could be moved quickly to the closest access point. He asked the city to commit to $2,000, contingent upon approval of the Tillotson grant. Mayor Paul Grenier said he was willing to commit to $1,000 but wanted to see donations from other communities. Councilor Diana Nelson said towns or departments that couldn’t afford a donation could commit to doing a fund raiser. Councilor Mike Rozek said he thought the city should pledge at least $1,500. He said the rescue vehicle is a safety issue and noted the city is promoting riding in the park. Councilor Lucie Remillard said she would like to see all area communities share the cost. Councilor Roland Theberge said he has been a first responder and said he favored helping the club purchase the vehicle. Rozek said he would like to see the city provide the entire $2,000, contingent upon the club getting the grant. “You can’t put a price on human life,” he said. Remillard suggested the city commit to $1,500 now with the understanding the club could request an additional $500 if it falls short of the total it needs. The council agreed with Remillard’s suggestion and decided to take the money out of the council’s contingency fund. In its first meeting since the inauguration, the council took care of some housekeeping items. There are two new councilors, Peter Higbee and Denise Morgan Allain, on board as a result of the November election. The council agreed it would conduct meet-

ings according to Robert’s Rules of Order. The body also reviewed council’ policies. The following committee appointments were decided: Berlin Airport Authority - Mayor Grenier, Russell Otis, Dori Ducharme, Mike Rozek, and Diana Nelson. Committee of Accounts and Claims - Mayor Grenier, Lucie Remillard, Denise Morgan Allain, Mike Rozek, and Roland Theberge.

Committee of Safety and Transportation - Lucie Remillard, Denise Morgan Allain, Mike Rozek, and Roland Theberge. Committee of Elections - Russell Otis, Denise Morgan Allain, Peter Higbee, and Diana Nelson. Committee on Emergency Action - Dori Ducharme Planning board member - Lucie Remillard Berlin Industrial Development and Park Authority - Diana Nelson.

By Union Leader staff CONCORD - State officials are standing by the appointment of the newly hired warden at the Northern New Hampshire Correctional Facility, who was harshly criticized in a 2004 audit while serving as sheriff of Nassau County, N.Y. Edward Reilly is scheduled to be sworn in as the Berlin prison’s warden on Feb. 6. Reilly has a long career in law enforcement and corrections, most recently with the federal Office of Detention Policy and Planning for Immigration Customs and Enforcement. “He comes with a long, lengthy corrections career and we think that will make him a really positive addition to the facility and the Department of Corrections as a whole,” said Jeff Lyons, department spokesman. Lyons said he was not familiar with the audit, which cited a “massive administration failure in the jail” and a skyrocketing in overtime costs. According to the audit, Reilly chose compensatory time rather than extra pay and claimed 266 comp days, which he authorized himself. Two of his top assistants combined to claim more than 580 days. Reilly’s new post will be overseeing the medium-minimum security prison

in Berlin, with an inmate population around 600 and 160 staff members. “He was interviewed and found to be a suitable candidate for the position,” Lyons said Tuesday night. “I think we’re anxious to see him come on board.” Lyons said the state based the hiring on Reilly’s credentials, which also included a number of positions held in the New York City Department of Correction. Lyons said he was not aware of background checks done during the search. Department of Corrections Commissioner William Wrenn was not available for comment Tuesday; there was no listing for Reilly at his home in Eaton. Although Nassau County comptroller Howard Weitzman focused on excessive overtime in the 2004 audit, he also acknowledged that safety conditions had improved at the jail since Reilly took over in 2000. A year before that, two guards beat an inmate to death. “The atmosphere, at least the attitude, has changed,” Barbara Bernstein, executive director of the Nassau chapter of the New York Civil Liberties Union, told The New York Times

Normand Dugas

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– OBITUARY –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

SAN DIEGO, CALIF. -- Normand Dugas died peacefully on January 14, 2012, after leading a full and active, healthy life. Mr. Dugas was born March 1, 1932 and raised in Berlin, New Hampshire, where he was raised speaking only French until his high school years. Following high school, he joined the Air Force and met the love of his life, Delma Val Dean Smith (Deanie), while stationed in Nebraska. They relocated to San Diego in 1956 where Norm worked in the Aerospace industry for Rohr Electronics, retiring after 36 years of service. Norm was quite active during his retirement years traveling, enjoying the natural beauty of California and maintaining a healthy and happy lifestyle. Norm would often be seen canvassing estate and garage sales looking for potenCRITICIZED from page 6

for a story in 2001. “I think that the horrible abuses that used to take place, the things that ended up with people being beaten to death, have not happened. I hope it’s a thing of the past.” That credit to Reilly came years before the audit, which described oversight of staffing at the jail as being in disarray. It also found overtime costs at the jail nearly doubled, from $10.3 million in 2000 to $20 million in 2003. Reilly’s chief of staff told The New York Times that the rising overtime costs were a result of cuts in jail staff as the inmate population continued to increase. That didn’t satisfy some Long KIOSK from page one

efforts, increase ease of access and improve visitation for local businesses and attractions. Right now the goal is to have the kiosks located throughout Coos County from Route 3 in Pittsburg to Route 3 in Twin Mountain.

Berlin and Gorham High School’s School-toCareer program appreciative of local businesses BY JONATHAN CHABOT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN/GORHAM -- For at least a decade, the Berlin-Gorham area’s local businesses have willingly participated in both high school’s School-toCareer programs. The School-to-Career program is an elective course that is available to high school students who want first hand exposure of future career possibilities. This correlates to a nine or eighteen week internship at a local business, where the student apprentice experiences the physical in and outs of the trade, receiving an even greater understanding of the job. In turn, the program weighs heavily on local business participation and cooperation. “The school to career program at Gorham High School has truly blossomed over the last eight years. The businesses in the Berlin/Gorham community have been tremendous to work with and continue to give our students a superb hands-on experience,” said School-to-Career Director Matthew Saladino of Gorham High School. Some businesses have participated with only a few internships, but some seem to have students throughout the entire school year. Some of the most popularly interned businesses in Gorham include: Androscoggin Valley Hospital, Genesis Healthcare, Gorham Police Department, Gorham Community Learning Center, and many others. An aspiring physical therapist and one of many who have interned at Genesis Healthcare from Gorham High School, is senior Jacob St. Hillaire. “After observing to start out with, I eased into working with the patients and the physical therapists and really got a hands-on experience. They gave me a strong insight on more than just the facts of the job. I strongly recommend them to anyone interested in physical therapy,” said St. Hillaire. The program has had the same affect at Berlin High School, as an equal appreciation of the local businesses has been abundantly displayed.

“I am now one hundred percent sure that I am going to pursue physical therapy thanks to the therapists. I have the knowledge and determination it is going to take to succeed in the field,” said Berlin High School senior and ambitious physical therapist, Katie Nelson. “Overall, the program benefits all high school students with different interests and abilities and is truly about finding the right placement with a positive adult role model and mentor. The Schoolto-Career program would not be able to thrive without the dedication and support of the businesses and their commitment to making a difference in a student’s life,” said School-to-Career Coordinator Brynna Kelley of Berlin High School. A hand-full of the more popularly interned businesses in Berlin include: “Berlin Daily Sun”, Cross Machine Inc., Dr. Eugene M. Kruysman’s Office, Mother Goose Child Care, Saint Vincent de Paul Rehabilitation, and many others.

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be an inspector of sorts. You’ll notice what needs to be fixed and report on what you see. The problematic area might be in your own life or someone else’s. In the latter case, use discretion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are special and interesting features of your life that you may want to share with the people close to you. In order to remember the topics of conversation you most want to bring up, make a list. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may be bored for a short time, until you realize that your environment, no matter how stale it may seem, is always a playground for your physical and mental exploration. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Carefully choose your business and personal allies. You don’t have to put them through a test to recognize the good ones. You’re savvy and street smart enough to know who will be good for you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your good luck will center on the helpful people in your life, including partners, acquaintances, teachers, counselors and clergy. Ask for attention from these types, especially by posing interesting questions. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 26). You’ll be happy with the progress of relationships, and feelings deepen through February and March. You’ll be strong in business this summer. Be sure to invest in your own fun times, as well. You may have extra expenses involving travel and entertainment in July. Family will appreciate your generosity. Cancer and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 11, 3, 39 and 6.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll let go of the past and turn toward the future. You have a sense that tomorrow will be better, and you’re right about that. Free yourself to hop on a trend, move with the forward thinking and experience the unusual. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The events of the day highlight your softer emotional side. Progress depends on listening closely to the voice of your intuition, which can be perceived through the muscles of your body. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your first impression will be on target, though you may forget about it as a relationship develops. So write down your thoughts now, and tuck them away to review later. It will make things more interesting. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Objectivity will be necessary. There will be a reason to practice the Zen art of detachment. Better to pull back emotionally than to let your feelings overpower your usual good judgment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The ideal teacher makes you feel good about yourself and empowered to act. A mentor will be most helpful now, as there will be a problem to solve, an attitude to adjust or a habit to cultivate. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are times when your subconscious mind may be more powerful and a lot sneakier than your conscious mind. That’s why it helps to get in touch with what you’re going through at the deeper levels of thought. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Fun and socializing will help your professional life, but only if you’re getting to know the right people. Go where you feel welcome to be yourself. If you have to pretend in order to fit in, it’s not a good fit.

Help Wanted by Abigail Van Buren

MOM IS MIFFED THAT BIRTHDAY PARTY WAS A SHOPPING SPREE

DEAR ABBY: My 12-year-old daughter, “Mandy,” was invited to a friend’s birthday party along with 12 other girls. They were told to meet at the mall where they’d “go shopping” together, then go for a sleepover afterward. The birthday girl told her friends to bring money as gifts. Well, she raked in more than $300 then proceeded to spend it all on herself while her friends stood and watched. Mandy returned home the next day and told me that although the girl spent the money on herself, her mom did buy them each a beverage. Abby, I gave my daughter $20 to go to the party, thinking the money would be for all of their fun -- not the birthday girl’s financial gain. I thought your readers might want to learn from my mistake. These days, a birthday party may not be a party at all! -- HORRIFIED IN WICHITA DEAR HORRIFIED: While this may have been shocking to you, the kind of party you have described may be acceptable to your daughter and her circle of friends. The birthday girl’s intentions could have been made more clear -- she requested money as gifts and instructed everyone to meet at the mall. However, they accepted the invitation on her terms. The sleepover may have been the party. I hope they were fed after the mall crawl because they must have been starving. DEAR ABBY: My dad died unexpectedly last year, three months before my 18th birthday. He had been kicked out of the house a few months prior to that because he was a horrible alcoholic who destroyed everything he ever cared about. He froze to death, alone.

My boyfriend is my soul mate. He has been my only source of support since Dad died. Mom ignores everything and has left me alone to go through all of this, spending my Social Security on vacations we could never have afforded before. My best friend is away at school in a different state and I’m more alone than ever. How am I supposed to survive all this alone? -- ALWAYS ALONE DEAR ALONE: Please accept my sympathy for the tragic loss of your father, who paid the ultimate price for his addiction. You write well and are obviously intelligent. If you’re still in school, counseling may be available for you if there is a counselor on staff. Because your mother is emotionally unavailable and your best friend is out of state, your friend’s mother might be willing to listen and advise you during this difficult period. DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law is a widow. She says she no longer wants to be addressed as Mrs. because she is not married. I thought that once married you were always a Mrs. unless you choose to be a Ms. Isn’t it proper for a widow to be addressed as Mrs.? -- DAUGHTER-IN-LAW IN WASHINGTON STATE DEAR DAUGHTER-IN-LAW: As a widow your motherin-law can continue to use her married name -- or adopt any name she chooses. If she prefers not to be called Mrs. her wishes should be respected. Some widows prefer to be called “Mrs. John Jones” for the rest of their lives, while others do not. If your mother-in-law prefers “Ms. Betty Jones,” that’s fine, too. It’s a personal choice.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at: Dear Abby, c/o The Conway Daily Sun, PO Box 1940, North Conway, NH 03860

Registration now open for Ski to the Clouds race on Mt. Washington PINKHAM NOTCH, NH-The Ski to the Clouds race is returning to the snow covered Mt. Washington Auto Road for the 16th year on February 26th, 2012. This challenging event, thought by many to be North America’s toughest 10k race, takes place on the Northeast’s highest peak and includes a climb of more than 2200 vertical feet over the final 6K of the course. The Ski to the Clouds is presented by Maxiglide and is limited to a field of only 150 skiers. Some competitors are there to attempt to make or break a record, while others consider it an opportunity to personally test their abilities in this mountain environment. In either case, participants will find themselves skiing in a winter wonderland, while taking in the most spectacular views imaginable of the Presidential range and beyond. There will be a mass start at 10 am on race day. Online registration closes on February 24th at 12 pm. Any available slots left after that will be offered on Feb. 25th. There will be no day of race registration. An early registration discounted price of $35 will be offered through Feb. 20th, followed by a rate of $45 until Feb. 25th or until the race is sold out. A $1400 prize purse is being offered by the pre-

senting sponsor, Maxiglide. The prizes will be allotted as follows: MEN 1st place $250; 2nd place $150; 3rd place $100 WOMEN: 1st place $250; 2nd place $150; 3rd place $100 Top Male over 40: $200 Top Female over 40: $200 “Our Ski to the Clouds race is another great example of the kind of uniquely compelling events that have always been and continue to be a part of life on Mt. Washington. Each event, whether a footrace, bike race, car race, or even on skis or snowshoes brings out those who are passionate about their sport....and for reasons both obvious and subtle, Mt.Washington continues to be the place those passionate competitors come to make their mark, even if it’s just for the experience of being here,” observed Howie Wemyss, General Manager of the Mt. Washington Auto Road and Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center. For more information or to register as either a racer or volunteer, please call the Mt. Washington Auto Road or Great Glen Trails at 603-466-3988 or online at www.skitotheclouds.com.

AVH medical group join others throughout the nation in celebrating National Medical Group Practice Week

BERLIN -- Medical groups throughout the nation are celebrating National Medical Group Practice Week, January 23–27. The Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) created the observance to advance public and industry awareness of the key benefits that group practices provide patients, communities and physicians, and to recognize the professionals who lead and manage these organizations. The 2012 National Medical Group Practice Week’s theme is “Celebrating Staff” and seeks to raise awareness of the positive impact medical group practices have on the communities they serve. As defined by MGMA, a medical group practice is a legal entity (such as a partnership, professional corporation or foundation) in which three or more physicians practice medicine and share resources, such as clinical and administrative facilities, records and personnel. A group practice may include multiple medical specialties or physicians in a single specialty. During this week, AVH recognizes its specialty physician practice, AVH Surgical Associates, which is comprised of the following specialties: Anesthesiology and Pain Clinic; Audiology and Hearing Aids; Ear, Nose and Throat Surgery and Allergy; General Surgery; Hospitalist Program; Obstetrics and Gynecology; Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine; Neurology, Sleep Medicine, Urology and Radiology.
