Commission wants county attorney office in courthouse BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

WEST STEWARTSTOWN -- The dispute between Coos County Robert Mekeel and the county commissioners over office space for the county attorney continues. At their monthly meeting last week, the commissioners instructed county officials to go forward with plans to move the county attorney’s office back into the Coos County courthouse in Lancaster despite a lack of input from Mekeel. The county attorney’s office is currently located in the former Lancaster National Bank building. “It’s time we stop playing games with him,” said

Commission Chair Burnham Judd. “He’s been very unagreeable and very uncooperative,” said Commissioner Paul Grenier in a follow-up phone call. Grenier went even further, openly calling for Mekeel’s defeat if he runs for a second term in 2012. “I think the county would do itself a huge service by canning this guy next year,” he said. The county attorney office, which also includes the victim witness advocate office, had been located in a 1,000 square foot office in the courthouse. Mekeel took the commission to court last year, arguing the space was unsuitable for the needs of his office, which also includes the Victim Witness Advocate

office. Superior Court Justice Peter Bornstein ruled in Mekeel’s favor. The office then moved to a 2,000 square foot space in the Lancaster National Bank building. The commissioners are proposing to relocate the county attorney’s office in the former probate office on the first floor of the courthouse. The register of probate has moved to the second floor of the courthouse. The probate space is a little over 1,500 square feet. Coos County Administrator Sue Collins said Colebrook contractor Daniel Hebert, Mekeel, and Attorney Phil Waystack, who is representing the see COMMISSION page 11

Coos economy sees some positive developments BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

COOS COUNTY -- Some positive economic developments have taken place in Coos County recently that bode well for the long term according to Max Makaitis, economic development and housing director for Tri-County Community Action Program. Makaitis provided an overview of recent economic activity in the county to the city council Monday night and the Coos County Commissioners last Thursday. Makaitis’ position is partly funded by both the city and county. Makaitis said the biomass plant under construction in Berlin is a key development because it will generate disposable income that will help sustain other area businesses. He said it will create 40

direct jobs and about 200 indirect jobs. He said there is still 40 acres on the property for other businesses to co-locate there and at least one, Kestrel Aircraft, has expressed interest. With the availability of excess heat and additional acreage owned by North American Dismantling, he said the area will become an industrial park for Berlin. “The overall picture looks very good for Berlin,” he said. Makaitis said he believes Congress will eventually fund the opening of the federal prison which will create jobs and attract younger people to the region. He was also hopeful about the future of the Groveton mill site which a Bath company recently see ECONOMY page 18

Atlanta says bring on the zombies

ATLANTA (NY Times) — Welcome to the Zombie Capital of the World. That, at least, is what Atlanta magazine, the glossy monthly, has dubbed this Southern city. It’s not only that “The Walking Dead,” the hit zombie show that began its second season on AMC on Sunday, is filmed and set here. Or that Atlanta holds some of the nation’s largest zombie film festivals, zombie parades and zombie haunted houses. Or that even the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that staid Atlanta-based federal agency, joined in the fun with a tonguein-cheek guide to surviving a zombie apocalypse. It is mainly that there are Atlantans like Kevin Galbraith, a 24-year-old Georgia State University student who is one of the 6,000 people who applied to be zombie extras on “The Walking Dead.” The pay is meager, the hours are long, the weather is steamy, and even their friends barely recognize them, staggering around in the background, coated in fake blood and corpse-gray paint. And only 200 will be chosen each season. “You have to be the sort of kid who grew up practicing your zombie walk in the mirror,” said Galbraith, a lanky, 115-pound horror fan who beat the odds and was cast in both seasons. “I feel more alive than ever when I’m dead.”

Clinton in Libya to meet leaders, offer aid package TRIPOLI, Libya (NY Times) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton pledged political and economic support for Libya’s new transitional government on Tuesday, even as a senior administration official warned that Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi and his loyalists remain “a lethal nuisance” that could stall the country’s transition. Mrs. Clinton, the administration’s most ardent champion of the NATO-led inter-

vention, arrived here from Malta aboard an American military jet shortly after noon, and was greeted by a phalanx of uniformed fighters, part of an irregular militia that now controls Tripoli’s airport. They chanted, “God is great,” and raised their hands in signs of victory. “I am proud to stand here on the soil of a free Libya,” Mrs. Clinton said at an Islamic conference center in the capital after meet-

ing with the country’s interim leaders, including the chairman of the Transitional National Council, Mustafa Abdel-Jalil. Mrs. Clinton raised a host of issues with Mr. Abdel-Jalil and other Libyan officials, including consolidation of political control over the country, prevention of violent retaliation against Colonel Qaddafi’s supporters, and integration of the myriad rebel militias into a new security structure.

Hamas frees Israeli soldier Malaria vaccine shows as prisoner Swap Begins promise, scientists say JERUSALEM (NY Times) — In an elaborate prisoner exchange that could roil Middle East politics, an Israeli soldier held for more than five years by the militant Palestinian group Hamas was swapped on Tuesday for hundreds of Palestinians who have spent many years in Israeli jails, all them freed to jubilant welcomes tinged with bitterness and grief. Buses transporting the Palestinian prisoners — the first group of what will eventually number more than 1,000 — made their way into Egypt, which helped broker the

exchange, and from there to the West Bank and Gaza Strip where relatives and celebrations awaited. The soldier, Sgt. First Class Gilad Shalit, 25, was taken from Gaza, where he had been held since Palestinian militants abducted him in a cross-border raid in 2006, into Egypt and from there to Israel, where he was given a medical check and declared in good health. Looking pale and thin, he changed into a military uniform and was flown to an Israeli military base where he was reunited with his family and met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

(NY Times) — Preliminary results from the trial of a malaria vaccine show that it protected nearly half of the children who received it from bouts of serious malaria, scientists said Tuesday. The vaccine, known as RTS,S and made by GlaxoSmithKline, has been in development for more than 25 years, initially for the American military and now with most of its support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The clinical trial is scheduled to continue through 2014 and will include tests on more than 15,000 children, from infancy on up. Early results released at a Seattle malaria conference on Tuesday showed that three doses protected 47 percent of the 6,000 children ages 5 months to 17 months from severe malaria. “The results are encouraging, but we still have a way to go,” said Dr. Tsiri Agbenyega, who heads malaria research at a Ghanaian hospital that was one of the 11 research sites.

Police search for missing 9-year-old

THE BERLIN DAILY SUN, Wednesday, October 19, 2011— Page 3

EAST HAMPSTEAD — A largescale search is continuing for a 9-yearold boy last seen in his Hampstead yard Monday afternoon. Officers are searching for Devin Frenette, who was last seen playing in his Catherine Avenue yard at about 1 p.m. Monday, according to Fish and Game Lt. James Juneau. Hampstead police were notified four hours later and began the search, police said. A command post for the search was set up outside the Hampstead Fire

Department on Tuesday, and additional searchers arrived for a ground search. Frenette is 3 feet 6 inches tall and 50 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a blue fleece jacket, khaki pants and sneakers. Local police officers were joined by sheriff’s deputies, a county command truck, multiple Fish and Game officers, the New Hampshire State Police K-9 unit and six more K-9 units from New England Canine Search and Rescue.

On Monday night, a state police helicopter with infrared technology was brought in to help. “Our biggest challenge is nightfall and dealing with darkness,” said Juneau. “It didn’t get to freezing tonight, but it certainly cooled off, enough to a point where we are concerned.” “Most children are going to try to take care of the basic needs. If they get cold, they’re going to try to remedy that and seek shelter,” Juneau said. Nearby residents were notified by an automated phone call.

The search is centered around Catherine Avenue in East Hampstead. Juneau said the area is mostly wetlands with some swamps, and searchers will not have to deal with many elevation issues. Authorities said Frenette left home back in May but was found a few miles away about four hours later. Devin’s family returned from a twoweek vacation to Florida on Monday. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 603-329-5700. —Courtesy of WMUR

Fire destroys East Conway meat business BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

EAST CONWAY — Investigators are blaming grease for a fire that destroyed a local meat seller’s business on East Conway Road Monday evening. Grease near the door of the smoking operation caught fire, fire officials told Darrell Robinson, owner of East Conway Beef and Pork, starting the blaze that burned his two buildings down. The fire started around 7:50 p.m. Monday, according to police dispatch logs. Firefighters were able to get the fire under control that evening, but the fire sparked back up around 5

a.m. the next morning and took down an adjacent building that was part of the operation. The fire burned fast, East Conway fire chief Richard Merr said, because of old construction, and the freezers made fighting the fire more complicated. Firefighters from Center Conway, North Conway, Fryeburg, Redstone and Saco Valley all helped East Conway Fire Department fight the blaze. “They all worked hard,” he said, but the buildings were too far gone. “It’s all ruined. It’s basically a total loss for them." Investigators from the state fire marshal's office did not come to the

scene, deputy fire marshal John Raymond said, because local officials were able to determine the cause. “They were happy with what they had.” Robinson, meanwhile, was still waiting for the gravity of what had happened to hit him on Tuesday. “We put a lot of money into this place,” Robinson said standing next to the giant pile of debris that a day earlier was represented his livelihood. “There was a lot of meat. It was the most we’ve ever had.” Among the losses was meat from 120 pigs, a $30,000 slicer, a $20,000 grinder and 10 compressors. Robinson had put 16 years into building the business. Luckily, he said, no one was hurt and

none of his live animals were injured. An independent insurance company fire investigator stood nearby making phone calls while Robinson described what he lost. Robinson was unsure of the value and how much his insurance would cover. What’s more, he said, he wasn’t sure how to sort out what his clients lost in the fire. He was storing meat for people, and the records of who had what was in the office area that burned to the ground. Even the business phone was destroyed in the blaze. Despite the hardship, however, Robinson was thankful for the firefighters who came the night before and that morning. “They did a good job,” he said.

A Good Win John Walsh

There was a NFL football game on Sunday. It was probably the best, most exciting game of the season so far. With about 30 seconds left on the clock and the Patriots trailing the Dallas Cowboys by 3 points, 16 - 13, Tom Brady, the Pat’s quarterback threw an 8 yard pass into the Dallas end zone. Tight end Aaron Hernandez caught it in a diving play. He held on too it. The Patriots kicked the extra point and took the lead 20 - 16.. Up until that moment, it appeared that the Dallas defensive coordinator, Rob Ryan, had out-coached and out-foxed the Patriot’s Master Minds of Head Coach Bill Belicheck and Quarterback Tom Brady for the second year in a row. He had been the Defensive Coordinator for the Cleveland Browns last season when the Browns defeated the Pats. It was one of only two loses for them during the regular season. While those of us watching had expected a hard fought game on Sunday, when the Cowboys went ahead by 3 points in the fourth quarter we thought the Pats would take the football downfield and score with either a field goal to tie the game or a touchdown to go ahead by 4 points. It was a very Brady-like moment where he had shown in the past his great skill and indomitable will to win. With over 5 minutes left in the game after the Cowboys had scored, the Patriots got the ball on their 20 yard line and roared into action. They went three plays and out. They punted

and Dallas had the ball and the lead with about 3 minutes to play. As the teams lined up, it truly seemed like a lost cause. The Dallas quarterback Tony Romo had had some success moving the football against the Pats. If he could get a first down now, the game would probably be over and for the second year in a row Rob Ryan would have prevailed and beaten the Pats But the Dallas play callers, not trusting Romo to throw the ball in the critical moment, opted for 3 running plays. Each play failed, and the Cowboys were forced to kick the ball downfield on fourth down. The Pats, unbelievably, had the ball on their own twenty yard line with 2 minutes and 30 seconds left on the clock. For long time fans like me, it was a moment we had lived through many times in the past. We knew, with quarterback Tom Brady firmly in control we had a chance to tie the game or, hopefully, too win it. It was a glorious march down the field as Brady completed 10 of 11 passes to Hernandez, Brontkowski and We Welker. Finally, with 30 seconds left the touchdown was made the point after added. With 22 seconds left on the clock, with the score at 20 - 16 Patriots, the Cowboys had the ball back with 80 yards between them and a touchdown. It was the 32nd time Tom Brady had led his team to victory on the last drive of the game. It was a good win!

The Great Restoration

If, in the 1960s, you had tried to judge America by looking at the sit-ins and Woodstock, you would have had a very distorted picture of where the country was heading. You wouldn’t have been able to predict that Richard Nixon would win the youth vote in 1972, which he did. You wouldn’t have been able to predict that Republicans would go on to win four out of the next five presidential elections, a streak only interrupted by Jimmy Carter, who ran as a conservative Democrat. Similarly, if you look only at the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street movements that have been getting so much coverage in the news media, you know very little about the wider America. Most Americans seem to understand this. According to data from the Pew Research Center, they are paying less attention to the Occupy Wall Street movement than any other major story — less than Afghanistan, Amanda Knox, the 2012 election, the death of Steve Jobs and far, far less than news about the economy. While the cameras surround the flamboyant fringes, the rest of the country is on a different mission. Quietly and untelegenically, Americans are trying to repair their economic values. This project begins with the pessimism and anger you see in the protest movements. Seventy percent of Americans now say their country is in decline, according to various polls. When people are gloomy they have fewer babies, and, sure enough, fertility rates have dropped

sharply, with the most dramatic plunges occurring in the hardest hit states, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. But that doesn’t mean people are just shrinking back. Quietly but decisively, Americans are trying to restore the moral norms that undergird our economic system. The first norm is that you shouldn’t spend more than you take in. After an explosion of debt over the past few decades, Americans are now reacting strongly against the debt culture. According to the latest Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll, three-quarters of Americans said they’d be better off if they carried no debt whatsoever. Not long ago, most people saw debt as a useful tool for consumption and enjoyment. Now they see it as a seduction and an obstacle. By choice or necessity, eight million Americans have stopped using bank-issued credit cards, according to The National Journal. The average credit card balance has fallen 10 percent this year from 2010. Banks, households and businesses are all reducing their debt levels. Second, Americans are trying to re-establish the link between effort and reward. This was the link that was severed on Wall Street, where so many made so much for work that served no productive purpose. This was the link that was frayed by the bailouts, when people who broke see RESTORATION page 5

he was unloaded by conservation officers and transported to Androscoggin Valley Hospital by Gorham EMS. AMC and Mt. Washington State parks assisted in the efforts of getting everything organized and locating the Treacy on the trail. At approximately 8 p.m. Monday night, a call came in from 911 to New Hampshire Fish and Game that a hiker had injured her ankle while hiking down the Jewell trail. Thirty-three-year-old Janet Thompson of Quakertown, Pennsylvania, was hiking with her husband when Janet had ankle pain from a previous injury. An AMC employee hiked up Jewell trail at approximately 8:30 p.m. and located her. AMC was able to put an air cast ankle support on Janet and started making their way down the trail slowly. A conservation officer also hiked up the trail and met the group to assist her down. She was assisted out and reached the Cog Railway parking lot at approximately 11 p.m. Janet’s injuries were not serious enough to go to the hospital.

the economy in the short run. But, according to the Heartla. seem to agree with that. But 56 percent have said “government spending when the government is already running a deficit is the wrong approach during an economic downturn because it is only a temporary solution that increases long-term debt.” These majorities are focused on the fundamentals. They say that repairing the economic moral fabric is the essential national task right now. They are suspicious of government action in general, saying that government often undermines this fabric. But they support specific federal policies that nurture industriousness, responsibility and delayed gratification, like spending on infrastructure, education and research. They distinguish between the deserving and undeserving rich. America went through a similar values restoration in the 1820s. Then, too, people sensed that the country had grown soft and decadent. Then, too, Americans rebalanced. They did it quietly and in private.

the rules still got rewarded. In sphere after sphere, strong majorities want to see a balance between what you produce and what you get. The bank bailouts worked and barely cost the government anything, but they are ferociously unpopular because the unjust got rewarded. The auto bailouts mostly worked, but they are unpopular even in the Midwestern states that directly benefited because those who failed in the market still got the gold. Public sector unions are unpopular because of the perception that benefit packages are out of balance. The third norm is that loyalty matters. A few years ago there was a celebration of Free Agent Nation. But now most people, even most young people, would rather work long-term for one company than move around in search of freedom and opportunity. This values restoration is reshaping the way Americans see the world around them. Many economists say the cutback in consumption will hurt

Hikers rescued after being injured MT. MADISON -- A Maryland man was rescued Monday, Oct. 17, after falling eight tenths of a mile from the summit of Mt. Madison. At approximately 1 p.m. a call came in from 911 to New Hampshire Fish and Game that a hiker had sustained serious injuries while on Mt. Madison. Sixty-four year old John Treacy of Olnay, Maryland, is a sectional hiker of the Appalachian Trail and fell eight tenths of a mile from the summit of the mountain, said a press release issued Tuesday. Treacy sustained nonlife threatening injuries to his right arm as well as minor head lacerations from the fall. The incident happened on the Osgood trail near the junction of Daniel Webster Scout Trail. Along with conservation officers from around the state responding to the incident, a National Guard Blackhawk was called in from Concord to assist. Before all the officers could get to the scene the National Guard was able to get Treacy off of the mountain and flew him down to Gorham Airport at approximately 5 p.m. At the airport

Top Furniture The importance of a good night’s sleep We’re not here to sell you on a new mattress, but we can’t underestimate the importance of getting solid sleep. In today’s over-worked, caffeine-fueled society, proper sleep can help reduce stress levels, increase productivity and keep you healthier. To get better sleep, maybe you need a new bed or just better habits at night. See the back of this guide for some important sleep tips. First things first. Do you need a new mattress? That’s the big question. Be sure that your bed is to blame for your sleepless nights. Chances are if a couple of these signs apply to you, it’s time to start shopping: You often wake up with stiffness, numbness, aches and pains. Your bed hasn’t aged well. It sags, has lumps or, on those occasions when you change the sheets, you can see stuff you shouldn’t, like strands of wire. You often think to yourself, “I need a good night’s sleep. I better stay on the couch.” Your mattress is older than the term “Hanging Chad.” Regarding the age of your bed, you might think seven years or so isn’t very long. But it’s important to remember that as you grow older and become a bit creakier, your bed has to keep up with your body’s needs and still give you proper support. Lesson One: Know thy mattress. As you’ll soon learn when you shop, there are many types of mattresses to choose from. A little homework can help you in the store. Innerspring mattresses, the most traditional type of mattress set, typically use systems of open coils

or metal springs layered between padding. When shopping, you’ll hear the term “coil count.” Typically, the higher the count, the more support you’ll get. Encased coil spring mattresses, such as the original Pocketed Coil® spring mattress created by Simmons, feature an advanced innerspring system. The coils are individually wrapped in soft fabric. This allows each coil to adjust independently to your body. Memory foam mattresses are constructed of high-density polyurethane and conform to the body to reduce pressure points and provide natural body alignment. Memory foam is temperature-sensitive and conforms as your body warms it. Latex foam is not sensitive to temperature and is available in many different densities. When you research, be on the lookout for new and better types of foam, such as Advanced NxG® Memory Foam in ComforPedic® mattresses. Hybrid mattresses feature layers of foam and coils. These beds give you the comfort and support of both technologies. If you’re not sure about buying an all-foam mattress, it makes for a nice compromise. Air mattresses use air chambers as their primary support. A quality air mattress will mold to body contours. Some models come with adjustable air chambers, so you can change your bed’s firmness whenever you like— a great feature for the comfort-challenged among us. Water mattresses come in several varieties but are all designed to conform to the body to reduce pressure points. Built for stability, today’s beds feel nothing like their groovy, wavy ancestors from the late 70s.

There are times when something more dramatic is desired - a fine oriental painting may call for a silk mat, a sailing image may want a mat that resembles a piece of sail. Mats come in wider ranges of color in paper of course, but silks, linens, denims, suedes, hides and grass cloths all offer interesting alternatives. You should expect to pay more for these specialty materials. Mats can also be added in multiples giving more dimension and visual interest to your art. Remember these are added

COMMISSION from page one

commission., met on Aug. 26 to discuss the probate space being used as the county attorney’s office. Since then, she said Waystack has tried several times to reach Mekeel by phone and sent him a letter, asking him to get back with his thoughts on the configuration. She said Waystack is still waiting to hear from Mekeel. In the meantime, Mekeel left a voice mail with the county administrative offices, asking for the tax bill for the Lancaster National Bank space for his 2012 budget. Grenier said he thought Mekeel was dragging his feet on the courthouse space and said he favored going forward with moving the office back into the courthouse. He said Mekeel can take the county back to court if he disagrees with the decision. Collins noted the commission had hoped to have the county attorney’s office back in the courthouse by Jan. 1. Grenier said that appears unlikely now.

With the commission’s approval, Hebert and Waystack will proceed with developing a plan for the office. Hebert will provide an estimate for the renovations. The plan will go to the state Bureau of Court Facilities which has to approve it. If the state approves the layout, the commission will go to the county delegation for permission to take the funds out of the Facility Fund to pay for the work. The actual work will be overseen by the Bureau of Court Facilities The state prefers a design-build approach and Collins has noted in the past that the state is comfortable with Hebert who built the new state office building in Berlin. Mekeel could not be reached for comment for this article. In other business: * Collins reported that the Bureau of Court Facilities has approved an updated courthouse lease that reflects the new sheriff office space and the adjusted common area.

his office to the former county attorney office space. The lease will now go before the state Executive Council. * U.S. Border Patrol Agent in Charge Paul Kuhn met with the commission to discuss operating procedures for detaining aliens at the Coos County jail in West Stewartstown. The county is negotiating a temporary one year agreement with the U.S. Marshals Service to hold federal prisoners at the county facility for short periods at a rate of $80 per day. Kuhn explained that he is only able to hold detainees at the border station for a maximum of 12 hours. He hopes to be able to take them to the Coos jail where they would stay for a short time before being moved to a federal facility, most likely in Manchester. Kuhn said he does not envision the detainees would stay more than 24 hours in

most cases. They would be medically screened and the county would be provided with their criminal history. Strafford County will be transporting the detainees but Coos Sheriff Gerald Marcou said he is hoping his department will be able to take over that role in the future. Grenier asked about the county’s exposure if the detainee files a lawsuit. He said he wanted to know how the county would be protected in that event. * The town of Colebrook has decided not to sign a contract with the county’s recycling center and recycling containers were removed from the Colebrook transfer station on Sept. 30. * Both Coos County Nursing Home facilities received Quality of Care deficiency-free surveys from the Center on Medicare and Medicaid.

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis ing life to the fullest sometimes requires that you abandon your rational sense. It has served you well on many occasions, so you might hate to do that. However, intuition trumps ration every time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You won’t lose your cool. Of course, being the fire sign that you are, you never had much cool to begin with. Enthusiasm, energy and the need to make things happen have made you quite hot, indeed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It may feel at times as though you were born into certain duties and obligations. You realize that you have choices regarding these things, though you are heavily inclined to do the bidding of your loved ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have to do things your way. And today, you are an amazing artist. You not only make things pretty; you make them sound and taste exactly to your liking. You will be well received. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Everything does not have to be analyzed in order to go on existing. Sometimes you forget this. Realize that there’s a point at which you need to let go and be fine with the way things unfold. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 19). Write your wish list because you’re a powerful creator this year. Partnerships shift, and you’ll find increasingly beneficial arrangements as you roll with the changes. You use your resources well and will be trusted with greater responsibilities. You’ll rise to the occasion, and the results will be lucrative. Aries and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 14, 39, 26 and 34.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The elements of your life support each other like spokes in a wheel. Your relationships help your professional picture, and your family helps your domestic scene, and it all rolls along. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You feel so perpetually in the moment that you really can’t help but attract new fans and followers -- or at the very least, big smiles from people who like you immensely. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may catch yourself saying, “Well, that’s just the way I am.” However, you should be warned not to define yourself rashly. How you are currently is not how you will always be. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Unless you consciously take action to turn off your overworked mind, you will feel overwhelmed. You can quiet your mind by listening to music, exercising or doing nothing at all. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Ever heard of a “mash note”? The word “mash” was 19th-century slang akin to “crush,” and the note in question is a romantic request of sorts. You will be receiving one shortly. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are ahead of the game. That is not always the best position. People validate you when you are in the middle of the game because they don’t understand you when you’re ahead of it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You like to have a good time as much as the next guy, and yet fun and pleasure are not your primary interests. You will be far more intrigued by the prospect of a profitable venture. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Enjoy-

For Rent by Abigail Van Buren

BIG MAN ABUSED BY GIRLFRIEND FIGHTS TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating “Carmen” for a few years, but in the last year she has started becoming violent when we are having an argument. I think this is domestic abuse, but she claims it isn’t because I’m a man. I’m not someone who can take abuse without repercussions. I’m like a mirror. If someone brings violence into my life, I reflect it back on them. So far, I have restrained my instincts -- but eventually I know Carmen will cross the line and I’m going to snap. I have the potential to hurt her badly. I have tried everything to make Carmen understand how I feel, but she continues to insist it doesn’t matter because I’m so much bigger and stronger than she is. When she hits me, it doesn’t hurt physically, but the anger I feel is indescribable. I’m at the end of my rope and considering breaking up with her before I hurt her. I don’t want to end the relationship, but I think it’s the only way to make her see things from my perspective. Or should I call the cops the next time she hits me? -- BRUISED AND ABUSED BOYFRIEND DEAR BRUISED AND ABUSED: You may not want to, but it’s time to end the relationship before something happens you both regret. Your relationship with Carmen isn’t a healthy one. You will land in jail if you respond the way it appears she wants you to. Please think ahead -- if Carmen resorts to violence when she becomes upset with you, then she very likely will with any children you would have together. She may think her abusive behavior is normal because this was the environment in which she was raised. But we both know it’s not -- it’s a huge red flag. Run! DEAR ABBY: I have been a holistic health-care and heal-

ing practitioner for 10 years. I love my work and being in a helping profession. I’m the one who is always there for everyone who needs help. A good portion of my work is as a counselor, teacher and shoulder to cry on. My problem? I’m lonely. I have multiple health issues and struggle with money. I need someone to talk with about me and how I’m feeling. Whenever I find a counselor, member of the clergy, teacher, etc., I end up BEING the counselor, teacher, listener, whatever. Living in a small town, it’s almost impossible to find anyone who doesn’t know me or my family. I went to a minister and ended up taking him to an AA meeting. I went to a counselor at a nearby university; she began asking me for advice about her health. I’m hesitant to try to find someone online. I’m not looking for a lover or an “adventure” -- just someone to talk with. My batteries are constantly being drained and opportunities to recharge are few and far between. I’m not asking for much, just someone to be there for me the way I am for many others. I tried talking with my wife about this, but she’s so emotionally insecure that even thinking I want someone else to talk with upsets her. Please help me. -- LONELY IN A CROWD DEAR LONELY: It’s not uncommon for therapists to suffer the kind of burnout you have described. They often deal with it by trading services with another therapist because talking about feelings -- as you well know -- can often relieve them. What you should do is contact the association of holistic and/ or integrative medical professionals in your state and inquire about this kind of opportunity for you.

AVH Auxiliary purchases more than $100,000 in equipment for patients BERLIN -- The Androscoggin Valley Hospital Auxiliary has announced the recent purchase of a Quinton Q Stress Cardiac Stress System for the AVH Cardiology Department, located in the 2-North Area of the Hospital. The system was purchased with funds raised from this year’s AVH Auxiliary Golf Tournament at the Androscoggin Valley Country Club in Gorham. This purchase is just one of many over the last year that have directly benefited the AVH patient experience. Additional items provided by auxiliaryraised funds include: New televisions for each in-patient room. These color TVs represent the latest in the industry and are now being enjoyed by patients and their visitors. Cholesterol Analyzer for AVH Home Health and Hospice Services. Located at 3 Twelfth Street, AVH HH&H can provide accurate cholesterol readings at its office and at community screenings, which are held often throughout the AVH primary service area. White boards. These aesthetically-pleasing boards, featured in all in-patient rooms, help enhance communication between hospital staff, patients, and family members. Patients can easily indicate their level of discomfort, nurses and physicians can leave their names so that patients and family members are aware of which staff members are providing care at that time, and more. Period of Purple Crying Video. This video is given to every new mother at the Valley Birthplace at AVH to take home with her. The video is a new way to help parents understand that time in their baby’s life, which is a normal part of every infant’s development. This period begins at approximately two weeks of age and concludes at approximately three to four months old. All babies go through this period, although some cry more, and some less than others. AVH Auxiliary Rotating Art Program sign and lights. Both the sign and lights complement the already welcoming appearance of the hospital cafeteria and its featured artwork.

Beginning left to right, AVH Auxiliary member, Volunteer, Director of the AVH Auxiliary Rotating Art Program and Software Systems Educator Ron Fini; Linda Morris, AVH auxiliary president, volunteer and buyer/manager of the Sunny Corner Gift Shop at AVH; Clare Vallee, RN, MS, JD, CNAA-BC, vice-president of nursing services at AVH; Beth Isaacson, AVH auxiliary member and chairperson of the Annual AVH Auxiliary Golf Tournament.

Our Auxiliary takes great pride in helping AVH Lead the Way to a Healthier Future.” “We are indebted to the AVH auxilians who continue to provide valuable resources to improve our patients’ stay,” said Clare Vallee, AVH vice-president of nursing services.

HOLIDAY, FLA. -- Leo Savard, 89, of Tahitian Gardens Holiday, Fla., passed away Saturday, Oct. 15, at Gulfside Regional Hospice in Hudson, Fla. He was born on November 1st, 1921, the son of Louis and Lea (Hebert) Savard. He served in Europe with the US Army during World War II.

He is survived by one daughter, Sandra Lauzon of Arlington, Mass., two sons, Paul and his wife Therese of Berlin, Leo and his wife Karen of Rochester, nine grandchildren, 15 great-grand children, six greatgreat-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; one sister, Lucille Marcotte of Berlin; brothers-inECONOMY from page one

signed a purchase and sales agreement to purchase. Makaitis said the site could eventually create hundreds of jobs. He said Bob Chapman of Chapman Container Trailer and Used Equipment Sales played a major role in making sure the mill buildings were not torn down. The Balsams Grand Resort is a tough one, Makaitis said, because it needs a major investment of capital in the $20 million range. He said, however, he understands there are still bids for the property. He said the resort has to continue to exist. Makaitis said the Granite Reliable Power wind farm has created a lot of construction jobs. While the wind farm will not hire a lot of people permanently, he said it will make a $500,000 annual payment in lieu of taxes. While there has been little action lately on upgrading electric transmission line or so-called Coos Loop, Makaitis said it needs to happen if the region wants to continue to grow green energy jobs. The Northern Pass project is unpopular in much of the county, but Makaitis spoke in favor of it. He said this country needs all the renewable energy it can get. He said he believes the high voltage transmission line from Quebec to southern New Hampshire can be constructed without hurting tourism. Makaitis said he has formed a roundtable of representatives of all eight banks in the county to get

Among other projects, Makaitis said he is working or has worked on a combined heat and power plant at the city’s industrial park, a hotel on Route 110, reopen the Ice Gulch Restaurant, and construct a pellet plant somewhere in the county. Makaitis said he is in favor of the state privatizing its prisons, a possibility the state is currently studying. Other projects he is involved with include rehabilitating the former Notre Dame school, the Friendship House in Bethlehem, and the Brown Company Research Building. Makaitis said he also sits on a variety of boards and committees. In other business: * City Councilor Mark Evan congratulated his fellow councilors who supported the Burgess BioPower plant.

CONSOLIDATION from page one

services and reducing costs, while moving the districts from a “somewhat parochial view to a more global view that engages in teaming and partnering between districts,” Healey explained. He pointed to Michigan and Ohio, where bulk purchasing of books, fuel, and technology has become commonplace. He added that cost savings could be available in the transportation, health insurance and staffing — administrators, AP teachers, legal services — sections of the budget through collaborations as well. He was quick to point out however, that this forum is part of the process to a solution not the solution itself. “We create an opportunity. We can’t guarantee outcome. If the spark doesn’t come from within it doesn’t take ignition,” Healey told the board. At the Oct. 27 forum, he said, the plan is for the leaders to identify and share practices, concerns, issues and needs while engaging in reflective dialogue. Their ability and willingness to solve problems collaboratively will be key, he said. NCES will sponsor a working breakfast in the spring for the the individual clusters — devised at the forum — to strengthen these new alliances. To sustain any progress made at this forum will take a local effort. That’s where the second year of the grant comes in, Healey said. In order to transfer momentum from the group at large to the local level, the forums will move to the local communities with new participants. Healey said superintendents will be charged with identifying an individual to be trained as a local facilitator. Gersen will train the facilitators. That person will then run forums at the community level with participants including teachers, parents, principals and community members. Superintendet Paul Bousquet and Patricia Shute will attend the Oct. 27, forum on behalf of SAU 20. Among the local community leaders selected to attend are WMCC President Kathy Eneguess and AVH Vice President Jim Wheeler.

Project is funded by a two-year, $66,000 grant from the Neil and Louise Tillotson Foundation. Healey explained that a forum will be held on Oct. 27, bringing together superintendents from 12 SAUs in New Hampshire and four in Vermont — all served by NCES— as well as five handpicked community leaders. Participation from the school board presidents or chairpersons from each SAU is also being strongly encouraged Healey said. The forum will be facilitated by Dr. Wayne Gersen, retired superintendent of SAU 70, which is especially significant since that SAU includes districts in Vermont and New Hampshire, Healey explained. Participating SAUs will include all of Coos County, portions of Grafton and Carrol Counties, as well as the northeastern-most corner of Vermont and a section of the Green Mountain State stretching from Thetford to Ryegate along the NH border and west to Corinth. He acknowledged that including that broad expanse of communities topography and geography would be the “elephant in the room,” but said there were advantages and disadvantages according to scale. Healey explained that while dealing with that entire map may be ungainly, one of the goals of the forum will be to create clusters or groups of school districts that can collaborate on smaller scales, while the entire consortium could look at areas where large-scale collaboration would make sense. To that end, he said, there was strength in numbers. “Unification often times begets innovation,” Healey said. Prompting the need for something like this was the economic downturn, increased heating and insurance costs, and decreased state and federal revenue. All these factors were magnified by declining enrollment, Healey pointed out. “We think that a viable option to address the pressing needs of school districts is collaboration,” he said. The purpose is to allow districts pursue retaining high quality

Berlin field hockey team wins senior day game over Bears, 5-2 BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN-- The Lady Mountaineers scored three goals in the first half, and went on to beat the Winnisquam Bears 5-2 on senior day held at Berlin’s Community field Friday. Berlin wasted little time in the pouring rain, scoring just 55 seconds into the game. Rita Thagourus sent a centering pass from the right side of the field. The crossing pass was deflected and found a wide open Megan Hood located open in front of the Bear goal. Hood went to the far side locating the back of the net for the 1-0 lead. Thagourus scored at the 10:48 mark of the first half off of a feed from Hood amongst a scramble in front of the Winnisquam cage and Bear goal keeper Campbell. The goal was the first one of the season for Berlin forward. Hood notched her second of the game and her team leading eighteenth at the 26:43 point of the first half giving the home team a 3-0 lead. Rachel Thompson pushed the Berlin lead to 4-0 just 5:48 in to the second half. Team mate Carly Perreault got the helping marker on the Thompson goal. Winnisquam’s Kay Howard knocked in a pair of goals at 10:36 and 26:56, to bring her team to just a two goal deficit at 4-2, putting a little bounce in Winnisquam’s step. However, Thagourus was not to be denied. This time Erin McGinnis was able to earn the assist to make a final score of 5-2. The Berlin girls held the edge in short corners by a margin of twelve to five. Campbell had six saves and Berlin’s Ouellet had five blocks. The win was the twelfth of the year (12-2) and places Berlin as the #3 seed in the upcoming NHIAA division III playoffs. The Lady Mountaineers will host the winner of the Newport vs. Profile contest on Saturday at Gaydo’s field at 2 PM. BHS 3 2-5 WHS 0 2-2 Scoring: BHS- Hood 2, Thagourus 2, Thompson. WHS- Howard 2.
