Residents voice frustrations at selectman’s meeting BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM — While plans for repairing some of the damage in Gorham caused by Tropical Storm Irene are solidly underway, some residents expressed concern to the selectmen that more protection and proactive approaches are needed to prevent future damage. Residents near both the Peabody River and Moose Brook spoke, at times critical of the town staff, during Monday night’s meeting. Dennis Arguin, who lives at the end of Broadway Street near where the Moose Brook empties into the Androscoggin River, asked about work being done on the other side of the brook, on property owned by Gateway Trailer Park. Arguin said he was con-

cerned that disturbances to the wetlands in that area would further aggravate flooding issues. “How can he be fooling with the flood plain? He’s messing with the course of the river,” Arguin said. Emergency Management Director Chad Miller explained to Arguin that the site had been visited by DES and it is not protected by the Shoreline Protection Act. DES said the flood plain between Moose Brook and the Androscoggin was not jurisdictional wetlands. Miller and Town Manager Robin Frost both empathized with Arguin’s incredulity at hearing that, and Frost said that she has asked DES to provide that determination in writing. Miller added that the DES representative was of the general opinion that some of the excavation

underway might be helpful in relieving some flooding potential. He also addressed Arguin’s concern that “hit top” was contaminating the flood plain. Miller explained that the DES representative said that it is not considered a “contaminating substance” as it has recently been deregulated. Members of the crowd in attendance were also in disbelief that the shoreline would not be protected as part of the Androscoggin River watershed under the Shoreline Protection Act. Miller said that the landowner had been open and forthcoming about the property and the town’s concerns. He said that the town’s best chance to maintain that area of Moose Brook is to look at updating

The kiosks will be located through the entire county, from Pittsburg to Twin Mountain. “Receiving this grant, and building the visitor kiosks and signage, are big steps in continuing our successful efforts to bring more visitors to Coos County,” said Cathy Conway, vice president of economic development for NCIC. The first kiosk will go up in downtown Berlin with the assistance of the Moving Downtown Forward initiative undertaken by the Berlin Main Street Program, the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Com-

merce, and the city. “It is indeed great news!” said Sylvia Poulin, of Moving Downtown Forward. Conway said the kiosks will be developed in partnership with local businesses and chambers and NCIC has already begun working with the Androscoggin Valley groups. She said they will begin outreach to other communities early this winter. Poulin said the Berlin kiosk will be placed at the entrance of the downtown on land owned by Public

Downtown trickor-treating is this Friday, Oct. 28 BERLIN -- Downtown Berlin businesses and organizations will once again open their doors to ghosts, ghouls and all of the children in costume for their annual “Trick or Treat” throughout the downtown retail district. This year’s event, organized by the Berlin Main Street Program, will be held on Friday, October 28, from 3 to 5 p.m. Children up to 12 years old can trick or treat at all the participating businesses that display the Orange Pumpkin posted on their door or window. Berlin City Hall, as well as some other public offices, will join in the fun. According to Main Street Program Chair, Sylvia Poulin, “we ask that the kids look for the Orange Pumpkin sign to be displayed, and to stay safely on the sidewalks. Cross carefully at the crosswalks, it’s a very busy time.” Parents are encouraged to accompany their children during Trick or Treat Downtown. The beauty of autumn in the North Country is revealed by the picture of Nash Stream in Nash Stream State Forest. (BARBARA TETREAULT PHOTO)

Colorado slammed by early snow GOLDEN, Colo. (NY Times) — A heavy, early season winter storm slammed into Colorado and across a wide area of the West on Wednesday, delivering in one roundhouse punch more snow than the Denver area typically gets in all of October. The piling on was expected to continue through the day with upward of 12 to 14 inches total expected in some places, especially here in the foothills communities like Golden, just west of Denver, and even more in the higher peaks and passes of the Rockies. Many schools and some highways were closed, with scattered power outages and traffic accidents reported as many residents awoke to 10 inches or more of wet snow on the ground for the morning rush. The wider, noisier tale was told in leaves. With many trees still in brilliant fall foliage, the leaves acted like millions of tiny scoops, or perhaps snow shovels, holding the snow and snapping branches that a month from now could probably have held firm and skeletal against the season’s worst hits. The falling branches took down power lines and clogged local streets, and woke some people in the night with arboreal groans, pops and crashes. Xcel Energy, the region’s biggest power provider, reported more than 600 local electricity outages affecting nearly 67,000 customers.

Europe agrees on plan to inject capital into banks

BRUSSELS (NY Times) — European leaders agreed Wednesday on a plan to inject new capital into the continent’s banks to insulate them against potential sovereign debt defaults, as they worked late into the night to devise a comprehensive solution to the two-year-old euro zone debt crisis. In what the leaders described as an important first step, banks would be required to raise about $140 billion by the end of June — enough to increase their

holdings of safe assets to 9 percent of their total capital. The percentage is regarded as crucial to assure investors of the banks’ financial health. The leaders were having more trouble agreeing with the banks on the size of the loss investors will be asked to absorb on Greek debt, which economists agree will have to be written down if the country is to have any chance of restoring growth. Most plans under consideration called for write downs in the range of 50 percent, a leap

from the 21 percent previously agreed upon. Earlier on Wednesday German lawmakers overwhelmingly approved a measure to expand an emergency bailout fund to $1.4 trillion, more than double its current size of about $610 billion. The vote followed Chancellor Angela Merkel’s plea to lawmakers to overcome their aversion to risk and put the might of Germany, Europe’s strongest economy, firmly behind efforts to combat the crisis, which has unnerved financial markets far beyond Europe’s borders.

Push for ‘Personhood’ amendment Three more quake survivors represents new tack in abortion fight pulled from rubble in turkey (NY Times) — A constitutional amendment facing voters in Mississippi on Nov. 8, and similar initiatives brewing in half a dozen other states including Florida and Ohio, would declare a fertilized human egg to be a legal person, effectively branding abortion and some forms of birth control as murder. With this far-reaching anti-abortion strategy, the proponents of what they call personhood amendments hope to reshape the national debate. Many doctors and women’s health advocates say the proposals would cause a dangerous intrusion of criminal law into medical care, jeopardiz-

ing women’s rights and even their lives. The amendment in Mississippi would ban virtually all abortions, including those resulting from rape or incest. It would bar some birth control methods, including IUDs and “morning-after pills,” which prevent fertilized eggs from implanting in the uterus. It would also outlaw the destruction of embryos created in laboratories. The amendment has been endorsed by candidates for governor from both major parties, and it appears likely to pass, said W. Martin Wiseman, director of the John C. Stennis Institute of Government at Mississippi State University.

ISTANBUL (NY Times) — Rescue teams extracted three more survivors from the rubble of Sunday’s deadly earthquake in eastern Turkey while the death toll continued to rise, news agencies reported on Wednesday. In one of the successful rescue missions in the town of Ercis, where the worst destruction occurred on Sunday, Eyup Erdem, an 18-year-old college student, was found alive under the wreckage, NTV television reported. His rescue inspired more than 3,000 aid workers to keep digging, and they found a woman, Sediye Erdem, trapped under a five-story building in the same town. Her husband, who was in the same building when the earthquake hit, died. Later Wednesday morning, 27-year-old Gozde Bahar, a teacher from Dogubeyazit, a nearby town, was also pulled out of the rubble, NTV said.

Service of N.H., just north of Kelley’s Auto Parts. She said the sign will catch the ATV traffic before it turns off to Route 110. She said the design of the kiosk is currently being refined and it will be constructed over the winter. She said the hope is that it will be installed in the spring. A maintenance fund will be created for each kiosk through the sale of advertisements and sponsorships. The fund will be managed by a local organization and business which will be responsible for daily upkeep including shoveling and keeping the brochure rack full. The need for uniform signage throughout the county was identified by Destination Development, the nationally known consulting firm that developed the N.H. Grand marketing initiative for the region. Conway said the improved signage will allow Coos County to further tap into the economic benefits of tourism. She said the signs will help tell visitors how to move around the county and discover all it has to offer. “This signage will also benefit the local communities in beautification efforts, ease of access and increase visitation for local businesses and attractions,” said Conway. “We will be working with communities to determine the exact location, but will be locating the kiosks in downtowns, and near key attractions and regional or community gateways,” said Conway. N.H. Grand will get approval from the state Department to install the wayfinding signs. Roger Brooks of Destination Development said the project has the potential to both create and retain jobs. “Signage is critically important for any destination, particularly areas that are lesser known or are undergoing changes,” said Brooks. “It is even more important for Coos County, which is remote and less developed, and where the region’s major highways become the downtown main streets for many communities. The easier it is for visitors to find attractions and amenities, the longer they will stay, and the more they will spend,” Brooks said. He said well marked visitor kiosks make it easy for travelers to learn what a destination has to offer. Brooks said only about five percent of travelers stop at visitor information centers so placing kiosks near major attractions and amenities help visitors find information. This July, NCIC received a $57,750 grant from the Neil and Louise Tillotson Foundation to begin the work and construct one prototype kiosk. In addition, the Androscoggin Valley Economic Recovery Corporation had state funds they are putting toward construction of a kiosk in the valley. NCIC received the most recent $200,000 grant from the Northern Borders Regional Commission which was authorized in 2008 by the federal government to help address the community and economic development needs of the most severely distressed areas of the four state Northern Forest region. NCIC is one of two New Hampshire organizations to receive a grant from the NBRC.

Paula holds a check for $1,325 donated by AutoNorth to help support the event. AutoNorth devotes $25 of every car sold to a charity in the Berlin area. Last month the company sold 53 cars, hence the $1,325 donated to RiverFire which is organized by the Chamber, the City of Berlin, the Northern Forest Heritage Park and Theatre North.

Try the North Country Spooky Ghost Tour LANCASTER – New Hampshire Grand has announced its new “Ghost Legends and Lore” Tour, a self-guided journey and spooky look at some of the North Country’s strangest phenomena. “As the days grow shorter, the nights longer, the foliage brighter and the pumpkins larger, visitors might want to take a ride around Coos County and explore the season’s ghost and goblin stories,” said Cathy Conway, economic development director for Northern Community Investment Corporation, and New Hampshire Grand. “For those visitors who like to get in the spirit of the season and enjoy some friendly ghost stories, this itinerary will take them through some locations worth checking out!” Here is a sample of what the itinerary includes: Success. A few miles outside of Berlin is Success, an unincorporated place that once teemed with lumberjacks who felled trees that were taken by rail to feed the paper mills along the Androscoggin River. Today, the logging operations are long gone, replaced by camps and a network of ATV trails. The old Success Pond Railroad is also gone. Or is it? Many a visitor has reported hearing the sound of a steam whistle cutting through an inky black night. One man tells a story he still can’t explain. “My personal experience happened at the northernmost camp site. I was all set up for the evening

to spend the night, had my fire going and I just sat down for a minute in my tent, to be woken by someone asking if there was anyone there. There was an old-time lumberjack standing in front of me with ax on shoulder. He stated my fire was dying and that I should feed it some wood. The style of his clothing and the boots on his feet and the fact he had an ax, not a chainsaw, is what made me wonder. The icing on the cake, when my hair stood on end, was when, in a blink of and eye, he was gone, no sounds of footprints or anything … but the log he threw on the fire was burning nicely.” So on your next visit to Success, stop and listen for the sound of a train whistling across time and, lest you get an unexpected visitor to your tent, keep an extra log on the fire.

Should we accuse the GPD of war crimes? To the editor: As a citizen of Gorham I would like to apologize for the horrendous, inhumane treatment of Mr. Balon. I have heard the Gorham jail referred to as the “Gitmo of New England. It makes one wonder if the objects in the cell that he could have hurt himself on were left there from a previous waterboarding, and perhaps left there intentionally. I also find it cruel and unusual treatment to have four hours go by without Mr. Balon being allowed to make his phone call! Four whole hours! Perhaps we should accuse the PD of war crimes! Now the completely inexcusable action of having a police officer who had not completed the Police Academy to stay in the room and watch him. I cannot think of a more dangerous action! How could we trust our PD to serve and protect us when there is such total disregard for human life! I do want to thank Mr.

Balon for writing the letter so those of us who had no idea his name was in the police log could be brought up to speed by his in-depth explanation of the truth? This letter said nothing of the truth, just complaining about his civil rights violations, real or imagined, I will leave you to deduce. He promised to tell the truth about what happened and what we read was just his one sided opinion of what he perceived to be wrong. Everyone has the right to express their opinions, but really? I will say that I would support a Gorham Tea Party. Mr. Balon, myself and any other sane Gorham citizen will be found tossing Lipton tea bags into Libby’s pool (will we be arrested for littering?) the next time such severe and unforgivable acts are committed by the tyrannical government agencies in Gorham! You just wait til next time! Joe Rodgers Gorham

1906 IV

Hello fellow Berlinites. As I continue with the history of 1906, the typhoid scare was still running rampant in May of 1906. I did write a comprehensive story on this typhoid scare about five years ago. Today’s description of typhoid fever is a bacterial infection of the intestinal tract and occasionally the bloodstream. It is caused by infected food or drink. It was a major problem in the early days, but outbreaks are rare today because of vaccination and medical knowledge of its causes. This was not the case for Berlin and the rest of the world 106 years ago, so a great fight to stop the epidemic ensued. Our local newspapers of May 3, 1906 announced that two more victims of this dreaded disease succumbed on May 2, 1906 in Berlin. They were William Corbin, a pulp maker and Norman, the little son of W.A. Hodgdon. Mr. Corbin’s death made the second fatality in this city, attributed to typhoid. He was stricken three weeks previous and did not have the vitality to live past the crisis. Mr. Corbin, who was 47 years old, lived on York Street. The third typhoid fever death occurred when 4 year-old Norman Hodgdon struggled for nearly two weeks before sadly Ethel E. Goss passing away. By May 10, 1906, Berlin now had four deaths attributed to this disease, when Mrs. C.C. Gerrish, 38 years old expired. Mrs. Gerrish left four children to mourn her, the eldest being 13 and the youngest six weeks old. By June, new cases were still appearing and two more deaths occurred, bringing the total to six. Mrs. Eli Francoeur, 36 years old, passed on because of this dreaded disease and left nine children without a mother. The youngest was five months old. The last death that I could find because of

Cascade shantytown

the typhoid outbreak was Florence Oleson, the young daughter of George T. Oleson, who lived in Berlin Mills. Although some new cases appeared, this city was finally winning its battle after losing six of its fine citizens. To complicate matters more, young people were dying of meningitis and in the beginning of May two more deaths occurred. Joseph Levesque, who was sixteen years-old passed away. He was the oldest child in his family and stricken in early April, without ever being able to overcome this dreaded disease. The other death was that of Ross Godien, who was just eight years old. Her sickness covered seven weeks and she suffered immensely. What shocked me, was to find out that the young Godien girl was the seventeenth recorded death in Berlin from this disease since June 1, 1905 and this all took place in less than a year’s time. That would certainly be of epidemic proportion today. A list of the recorded deaths showed that the range of the 17 people was seven months to twenty years of age. It was certainly a struggle to stay healthy and in many cases, even alive, as a youngster in these days. A grand event in Eagledome took place in Berlin on Sunday June 24, 1906, when the Berlin Aerie of Eagles was instituted. It was the largest charter list ever started in New Hampshire. There were 127 members who joined at see 1906 IV page 5

this time and the Aerie here in Berlin began its career with some of Berlin’s most eminent citizens. It was claimed in the local newspapers that this was also the largest outpouring of Eagle members ever recorded in this state. There were delegations here from Rumford Falls, Portland, Newport, Rhode Island and many other places. This great meeting and establishment of the Eagles was done in the Odd fellows Hall which stood somewhere on Mason Street. In 1906, the graduating class of Berlin High School had seven members. The commencement program took place on June 15, 1906 at the high school grounds on Hillside Avenue. They were the first class to graduate from this newly built school. The graduating members were as follows: Ethel Elizibeth Goss, Mary Teresa Laffin, Mary Ella O’Connor, Russ Derry Burbank, Norman Jacobs, Alex Levine and Herbert Brown Pingree. Commencement speakers were valedictorian Goss and salutatorian Levine. To graduate from high school in these days was quite an achievement. Another shocking affray took place in Cascade on Sunday, July 22, as Mr. James Brand was brought into police court. Brand was apprehended the night before by Sheriff Noyes and Officer Ouilette, on complaints by two Italian men in this city. Mr. Brand was charged with assault with intent to kill. This alleged assault took place in the “Shantytown” of Cascade Flats, just over the Gorham town line, where the defendant lived alone in a wooden shack. This “Shantytown” was the beginning of Cascade’s housing development in the early 1900s. The story told to police by the alleged victims was to the effect that on Sunday afternoon, they were walking past the defendant’s place and stopped too rest. At this point, Brand came to the door and opened fire, emptying all six chambers of his revolver. The last shot struck one of the men in the cheek, giving him a flesh wound. The men immediately started run-

The shooter hailed from the West and claimed to be a cowboy. He had been brought to the attention of the local law enforcement the previous year, when he made threats against the Berlin police force. The complainants, Charles Ferruii and George Russ were “Boot Blacks” (shoeshine men), having stands on Main Street in Berlin. The local gendarmes were certainly kept busy in these days. During the week of June 18-22, 1906, a large drive of logs came through Berlin headed for Rumford Falls and points beyond. There were 1,700 cords of pulpwood and 9,000,000 feet of saw logs that came through. This vast quantity of logs had two walking bosses and fifty river drivers. They also had 12 horses to carry their camps and luggage as they worked their way down from Rapid River, just above Lake Umbagog. That must have been a great site to see as these men from American Realty Company drove their logs through Berlin. I wonder if they were allowed to get out and about on the streets. I am sure the police kept a watchful eye on them, if they did. Finally, the new building for the International Paper Company that had been under construction for the past year was practically completed and the office force was installed. This building (Great Looks on Glen Avenue today) was erected at a cost of $15,000. It was said to be the most handsome office of the 40 plants owned by this paper company. Although the front has changed to accommodate the business of today, the rest of this 105 year old structure looks the same as the day it was built. I will continue with the year 1906 in my next story. Questions or comments email poof@ ne.rr.com.

October 27, 2011 City of Berlin 168 Main Street, Berlin, NH 03570 Pamela Laflamme, City Planner

These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the City of Berlin. REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about November 15, 2011, the City of Berlin, will request CDFA release Neighborhood Stabilization Program 3 Funds for the Berlin Neighborhood Stabilization 3 Project. The City of Berlin will use funding from the Neighborhood Stabilization Program 3 to rehabilitate and/or demolish buildings in three key neighborhoods. The neighborhoods are the former Notre Dame High School area, the Lower East Side, and the Granite Street/Downtown area FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The City of Berlin has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. This determination is based on the assumption that the City of Berlin will obtain all permits required and will adhere to all applicable regulations. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at 168 Main Street, Berlin, NH and may be examined or copied weekdays 10 A.M. to 4 P.M.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency disagreeing with this determination or wishing to comment on the project may submit written comments to Patrick MacQueen, City Manager. All comments received by November 14, 2011 will be considered by the City of Berlin prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing. RELEASE OF FUNDS Patrick MacQueen certifies to CDFA that in his capacity as City Manager, the City of Berlin consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. CDFA’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows the City of Berlin to use Program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS CDFA/NSP3 will accept objections to its release of funds and the City of Berlin’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Berlin; (b) the City of Berlin has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by CDFA/ NSP3; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to CDFA, 14 Dixon Ave, Suite 102, Concord, NH 03301. Potential objectors should contact CDFA (226-2170) to verify the actual last day ofthe objection period (approximately November 29, 2011).

the flood plain ordinance, and meet with the landowner to see what can be done to open up the obstructed areas of the channel in the brook. Broadway Street received flood damage during Tropical Storm Irene and residents had to be evacuated from the rising waters of the Moose Brook. Additional precautionary measures discussed include storing palletized sandbags somewhere on Broadway Street, that the town could deploy in the case of severe rising water. Miller also stated that emergency service personnel have been more vigilant during rain events, frequently checking places that have been susceptible to flooding in the past. The town is also looking into Hazard Mitigation funding through FEMA for projects along the waterways that could help prevent flooding in the future. Residents of White Birch Lane were also present to hear the plans presented to address the major damage

received on that road and riverbank when the Peabody River jumped its banks. Merrill Santy, of the residents of White Birch Lane took the town to task for a lack of leadership that has left the landscape along that road littered with debris from the storm for the past eight weeks. He asked where the public works crews have been for the last 40 working days, since they have not been on his street. Santy said that tar from the upheaved roadway had been sitting on his lawn since the storm and trees felled remained on their sides. “ We haven’t heard from anyone,” he said. Frost told Santy and the other residents remaining that clean-up is being addressed this week and offered no excuses for the lapse, while agreeing it should not have happened. She did note in a later email exchange that any fault in this case was her own. “When Mr. Santy said there was a lack of leadership, he was right, but that buck stops in my office,” Frost

two schoolgirls who saw her on a rock behind their school, media from around the country descended on the town, eager for information about what they now called the Mystery Girl. People reported seeing her and hearing crying and “unearthly sounds” in the woods, not attributable to local children. But whenever they tried to talk to her, she ran into the woods. After a summer of curiousness, winter came on and residents saw the last of the Mystery Girl. Years later, one newspaper has proclaimed the incident one of 20th century New Hampshire’s unsolved mysteries, for

a road so that it would connect with a nearby culvert. In the time since Monday night’s meeting, Frost said she looked at the span the gully would have to travel and has decided not to make that connection at this time.

decades. An account on the website www.BigFootEncounters.com may just change the way you walk through the woods. Some of the old men would talk about things called “wood devils” that live in the woods. There were a lot more of these creatures back in the 1930s than there are now. They hide by standing upright and staying completely still against a tree. They freeze. As a person approaches it, the creature will stand against the opposite side of the tree. As the person passes it will move so that the tree is always between the person and the tree. If it cannot hide, it will still stay perfectly still until it knows the person sees it. They make awful screams. They have a semihuman shape, but their faces don’t look at all human. I have never seen one, but the people who said they did were regular churchgoers and would strap their kids for lying. Of course, our northern woods are full of

moose, bear and deer, so what are the odds there is something on the other side of that tree over there? Fear Factor: 4.7 For a link to the “Ghost Legends and Lore” Tour brochure, visit www.nhgrand.com Other Halloween events in the North Country include: Santa’s Village, Jefferson, NH – Visitors can enjoy the second annual Silly, Spooky Halloween extravaganza. Santa is busy during this time, but the Silly Nilly Witch of the North is here stirring her own spooky brew. The entire park is transformed into a magical Halloween adventure. Children can celebrate this holiday in a safe and friendly atmosphere. There are “spooky” areas for the older children; some “fun” areas for the younger goblins. Shops cater to the Trick or Treaters, and it’s much more fun if you arrive in costume, especially if you want to participate in the Silly, Spooky Parade. Rides and food shops will be open too.

It’s silly. It’s spooky. It’s Halloween at Santa’s Village. Admission for the entire day is $20 per person. This includes all the rides and festivities for the day.

Kids and families will enjoy unlimited free rides, including go-karts (weather permitting), laser tag, shows, and activities. There is trick or treating, cookie decorating, and a witch drawing contest. All attractions are rated on a scale of one to five pumpkins on level of scariness. After dark, everything is much scarier. Visitors can also take in the haunted corn maze, the haunted hayride, and a hike up haunted Boot Hill.

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your location will be an important consideration. Instead of going wherever your work takes you, consider a different approach. Go to the place you want to be, and then find work there. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may have clashed with someone when first you met. You’ll benefit from giving this person another chance. Your natures are not so different, but your habits are. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Beliefs that are not based in reality are called “delusions,” a word that has such a negative ring to it. But should it? Who is to say what reality is, anyway? Pick one delusion, and hold on tight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have a lot of good ideas, and now you need a plan. Whittle down your list. Pick three actionable items you can follow through on today. Action will bring you focus. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A relationship doesn’t have to be ailing to warrant attention. Fortunately, the No. 1 thing you can do to improve a relationship will also make you feel better: Care for yourself, and do a stellar job of it. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 27). There will be a healing in your personal life this year. The chapter is complete, and you’ll turn a fresh page. In December, professional changes liven things up. You’ll toy with groovy new ways of doing things, and your playful approach wins applause. You’ll wander a bit in May and June and collect new friends. Capricorn and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 32, 40, 17 and 45.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You appreciate how wonderful it is to be alive at a time when so many new ideas are developing around you. You are feeling connected to all who share this moment in history with you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Hop on board a trend, and have fun with it. This probably has to do with technology. It may not solve your problem or turn into any kind of long-term benefit at all. Still, you won’t be sorry you gave it a whirl. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you get the chance to tell people a little bit about you, focus on one area of life. You have so many goals that it will be difficult for people to understand the entire scope of them. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Think about the times in the past when you accidentally landed in the right place at the perfect time and said the magic words. Be convinced of your own good fortune, and you’ll attract more of it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Not all who hear voices in their heads are schizophrenic. You know this is true, because you are a person of very sound mind and yet there is a guide in your mind who speaks in crystal-clear tones. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As you think about the task before you, you may get nervous. Your emotional response is normal. It shows how much you care. It doesn’t make you weak; it makes you human. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re still on the fence about whether to throw yourself into a new venture. You can always take the more cautious route of tiptoeing into it. Do go forward either way. The only people who really fail are those who never try.

MOM GETS SERVED AN EARFUL IN LINE AT BREAKFAST BUFFET

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I were on vacation out of state with our four young children, staying at a large resort that offered a free buffet breakfast. While my husband tended to the children’s beverages and eating utensils, I stood in line to make waffles for everyone. (There were three waffle irons available.) As I made four waffles for the six of us -- as others were doing for their families -- a woman began berating me and another man for “monopolizing” the waffle irons. She said we should make only one waffle at a time and then get back in line. She went on to insult our kids by saying that by feeding our kids whole waffles for breakfast, we are responsible for the epidemic of childhood obesity in this country. Was I being rude? Is there a rule of etiquette regarding waffle-making in a buffet? We like to sit down as a family and enjoy our meal together. -- WAFFLING IN THE SOUTH DEAR WAFFLING: As far as I know, you broke no rule of etiquette. What you encountered was a hungry woman who was taking her impatience out on you. She is lucky you didn’t hand her an egg and tell her to go suck on it. DEAR ABBY: Two weeks before our youngest child’s wedding, my husband of more than 40 years suddenly became obsessed with worry that I was unfaithful. It was unfounded and nearly ruined the wedding for both of us. This continued for two weeks after the wedding, until he finally vowed to “let it go.” My husband is now bending over backward to make it up to me. He is as thoughtful and passionate as if we were on our

honeymoon again. While I’m enjoying the attention, I can’t help but wonder if he is the guilty one. What do you think? -- TURNING THE TABLES IN ILLINOIS DEAR TURNING THE TABLES: What I think isn’t nearly as important as what YOU think. If you think he has been unfaithful, you may be right. The question now is, what do you intend to do about it? If you no longer trust your husband, then marriage counseling would be appropriate. DEAR ABBY: I lost my wife and only child three years ago in a car accident. I felt my life ended that day, but I’ve managed to put the pieces back together thanks to the support of my family and friends. Now I’m at the point where I think I’m strong enough to start dating again. When do I tell my date what happened? I don’t want to scare her away with my story. It’s a big part of who I am, but it’s not ALL I am. First dates are about getting to know someone and it’s hard not to share this, but I’m uncomfortable sharing right away. Do you have any advice? -- TENTATIVE IN MINNESOTA DEAR TENTATIVE: I see no reason why you should disclose all the details of what happened to your wife and child on a first or second date. If the subject of your marital status is raised, it’s perfectly all right to say that you are a widower, that the subject is a painful one, and you will share more details when you know the person better. It would be insensitive for anyone to press you for more information after hearing a statement like that.

top SBA lenders in nation BERLIN -- Northway Bank ranks among the top 100 SBA committed lenders in the nation, based on numbers reported by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Northway is also the only New Hampshire bank on the list. This first annual study was recently completed by MultiFunding, a national advisor and advocate for small businesses. During SBA’s fiscal year 2011, which ended in September, Northway originated 74 loans worth more than $3.7 million under the agency’s core 7(a) program, once again making them the top SBA lender in the state of New Hampshire. In addition, Northway loaned more than $9 million through the SBA’s “bricks-and-mortar” 504 program, among the highest in the state. “As an independent, locally owned community bank, Northway feels a special obligation to help small business,” says Victor Levesque, Northway’s director of commercial banking. “We’re a local business ourselves, so we’re eager to help our fellow local

businesses make investments that can help our communities prosper.” Richard Olson, director of consumer and small business banking, added, “To be recognized on a national level is very special for Northway. We’ve always been committed to helping small businesses. They are the economic life blood of our economy and Northway will continue to do our part to support them.” The SBA doesn’t make loans itself, but rather guarantees loans made by participating financial institutions, thereby assuring broader access to capital by reducing lending risk. The 7(a) program provides financing for general purposes and is the SBA’s primary means of helping small businesses. The 504 program provides financing to help small businesses acquire fixed assets like real estate or equipment. Small business is a Northway niche. Though the bank’s experience extends to just about every industry, Northway is especially active in the hospitality and manufacturing sectors.

GORHAM -- There will be a meeting at the Gorham Town Hall on Tuesday, November 1, at 6:30 p.m., in the second floor meeting room, to discuss possible winter activities in Gorham. This is a preliminary meeting to determine if winter events can be coordinated in a way that will best serve the town and local communities. Ideas are welcome for discussion, including ways to utilize the common in the winter, and other ideas including ways to provide recreation and entertainment for families and children and encourage tourism. The business community has expressed an interest in this in the past and we encourage anyone interested to attend and express your ideas. The first meeting will be chaired by the Town of Gorham. It is hoped that a group can be established to work on this planning process. If you have any questions please contact Gorham Town Manager Robin Frost at 466-3322. TRICK-OR-TREATING from page one
