Supreme Court rules in city’s favor on tax suit BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- The state Supreme Court has ruled in Berlin’s favor in a tax dispute with North American Dismantling over the former pulp mill property that dates back to 2007. In 2007, North American Dismantling challenged the city’s $7.917 million assessment for the 122-acre site. The company charged the assessment “was in excess of a just and proportionate valuation” of its property. The legal dispute was expanded to include the property’s 2008 valuation of $5,459,500. At stake for the city was over a quarter of a million

dollar in tax revenue. - North American Dismantling’s 2007 tax bill was $153,815 and its 2008 tax bill was $84,250. In October 2010, Coos Superior Court Justice Timothy Vaughan ruled in the city’s favor for both tax year 2007 and 2008. Vaughan said the city’s expert, George Sansoucy, had established to the court’s satisfaction that the valuations adopted by the city were arrived at through appropriate methodology. North American Dismantling appealed the Superior Court decision to the Supreme Court, which last month upheld the lower court decision. In its appeal, North American Dismantling argued the Superior Court failed to consider all factors

affecting the property’s valuation, did not recognize the purchase price was the best indication of value, erroneously found that all standing buildings had value, and did not allow company President Rick Marcicki to testify as an expert witness. In an unanimous decision, the court said it found that Sansoucy prepared an extensive valuation and analysis of the property and the trial court found his methodology to be appropriate. North American Dismantling argued the $3.598 million it paid when it purchased the property from Fraser in 2006 was the best indicator of the value of the site. The Supreme Court decision said the trial see COURT page 9

Vets share 60 years of experience at conference BY GAIL SCOTT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN—From 91-year-old Roger Paris to 15-year-old Katarina Lindskog, six speakers in the Intergenerational Panel at the North Country Veterans Conference Saturday told of lives shaped—for good or ill—by military service. The theme of the conference was “Celebrating Generations,” but it might also have been “surviving the experience,” the topic of a talk by Pastors David and Linda Canter, of Lambs Chapel, in Berlin earlier in the day. Marine Corps veteran Paris led off the panel’s part in the program, which was less a discussion than a series of vignettes of the impact of military ser-

vice. Davis recalled the chaos of recordkeeping in the pre-computer days at the end of WWII when some vets had a hard time getting their claims processed. Those were the days of the first Serviceman’s Readjustment Act of 1944 (The GI Bill) when veterans were generally honored for their service and the government offered low interest, zero down payment home loans for servicemen, money for education, and the 52-20 clause. The last enabled servicemen to receive $20 once a week for 52 weeks while they looked for work— the equivalent of $246 a week today. Paris noted that he and his cohorts see VETS page 5

City council racing deadline for redistricting decision BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- Racing the calendar, the city council Monday night instructed City Planner Pamela Laflamme to make some additional adjustments to the latest plan for redistricting the city. Frustrated with trying to arrive at a suitable solution to even out population among the current four wards, the council is now proposing a charter amendment to consolidate the city into two wards. City Clerk Debra Patrick warned the council that it must make a final decision by Oct. 10 to get the

issue on the primary ballot in January and avoid the expense of holding a special election. The latest plan splits the city into two wards using Main Street as the dividing line. The proposed Ward I includes all of the current Ward IV, most of Ward I, and part of Ward III. The new Ward II includes all of Ward II, a good part of Ward III, and a slight part of Ward I. Mayor Paul Grenier said he thought consolidating the city into two wards was the best solution. He noted it reduces the need for election workers because there would only be two polling places.

“I think this is the least painful way,” he said. But Ward I Councilor Lucie Remillard raised objections to the way the new proposal splits the avenues in Ward I between the two wards. She said the line divides what is a neighborhood into two different wards. “I can’t jump on board with this,” she said. “I do not agree with this at all.” Remillard said she preferred the first option presented by the city planner to the latest option. She noted Councilor Mike Rozek had complained about

After ruling, Hispanics flee Ala. town

ALBERTVILLE, Ala. (NY Times) — The vanishing began Wednesday night, the most frightened families packing up their cars as soon as they heard the news. They left behind mobile homes, sold fully furnished for a thousand dollars or even less. Or they just closed up and, in a gesture of optimism, left the keys with a neighbor. Dogs were fed one last time; if no home could be found, they were simply unleashed. Two, 5, 10 years of living here, and then gone in a matter of days, to Tennessee, Illinois, Oregon, Florida, Arkansas, Mexico — who knows? Anywhere but Alabama. The exodus of Hispanic immigrants began just hours after a federal judge in Birmingham upheld most provisions of the state’s far-reaching immigration enforcement law. The judge, Sharon Lovelace Blackburn, upheld the parts of the law allowing state and local police to ask for immigration papers during routine traffic stops, rendering most contracts with illegal immigrants unenforceable and requiring schools to ascertain the immigration status of children at registration time.

PARIS (NY Times) — Europe has had a rough ride since Greece confessed it falsified its books to join the euro. Now the economic situation is set to worsen, as the sovereign debt crisis that erupted in early 2010 threatens to send the euro zone into its second recession in three years. Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain are already in downturns or fighting to escape them, as

high unemployment and austerity measures bite. But in the past few weeks, Germany and France, the Continent’s powerhouses, have also started to falter, hurt as struggling banks tighten their lending and orders for business from the indebted countries of Europe ebb. “I thought it would be just a slowdown, as is not unusual after a recovery,” said Jörg Krämer, the chief economist

Dalai Lama cancels South Africa visit

NEW DELHI (NY Times) — The Dalai Lama, Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader, scrapped plans on Tuesday to attend the 80th birthday of fellow Nobel laureate Desmond M. Tutu of South Africa after the host government did not grant his visa request. Critics viewed the South Africa government’s behavior as a capitulation to China, one of South Africa’s most important economic partners and a strong opponent of the Dalai Lama, whom the Chinese authorities consider subversive. A statement by the Dalai Lama’s office in New Delhi said he and his entourage had expected to visit South Africa from Oct. 6 to Oct. 14, had submitted visa applications and the end of August and had submitted their passports two weeks ago. His agenda included the Oct. 6 birthday of Archbishop Tutu and a number of public talks. However, his office said in a statement, “Since the South African government seems to find it inconvenient to issue a visa to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, His Holiness has decided to call off this visit to South Africa.”

at Commerzbank. “But I have changed my mind.” The euro zone economy has already slowed to essentially no growth. It could stay in a slump, many economists say, at least through next spring. If that happens, tax revenues are likely to fall and unemployment is expected to rise, making it even more difficult for Europe to deal with the sovereign debt crisis and protect its shaky banks.

House approves spending bill WASHINGTON (NY Times) — With limited discussion and zero fanfare, the House on Tuesday approved and sent to President Obama a measure to keep the government operating through mid-November, ending for now the threat of any shutdown. With a vote of 352 to 66, the House approved the measure, passed by the Senate just a week ago, closing another anguished chapter in the fiscal war between Republicans and Democrats that continues to dominate Congress.

Although the debate over the bill was so short — roughly 10 minutes — that the House whip’s office was caught by surprise, 53 Republicans voted against the measure, in a show of displeasure that the bill did not have deeper cuts to government spending; 13 Democrats also rejected it. It remained unclear Tuesday whether future short-term spending exercises, which have been the source of partisan conflict all year, would be necessary again this year.

Heavy rains lead to flood warnings

MANCHESTER — Heavy rains Tuesday led to flash flood warnings in parts of New Hampshire and caused dangerous conditions on the roads. The slow-moving storms were expected to drop 3 to 4 inches of rain across parts of Rockingham and eastern Merrimack counties. Flash flood warnings were issued in those areas until 2:15 p.m. Forecasters said small creeks and streams could flood, and some roadways could also experience flooding. Richard Belshner, of Kingston, said he lost control of his car on Route 101 in Raymond when the vehicle hydroplaned. “I think I spun around twice, once on the road and once on the bushes, and kind of just went into the woods,” he said. Belshner said he tried to relax and keep from tensing up while his car was spinning out of control. He was able to walk away from the accident without any injuries. He said that just before the accident, the rain was coming down hard. Fire Chief Kevin Pratt said Belshner was lucky he went off the road where he did. “He went into a lot of bamboo here,”

Pratt said. “This bamboo slowed him down a lot. There’s ledges behind it, so he didn’t get into the ledges. The bamboo pretty much was like a shock absorber.” The storm was also blamed for knocking out power, as utility crews worked through the driving rains to get the lights back on. Public Service Co. of New Hampshire said a broken utility pole caused 2,800 outages in Croydon, Goshen, Lempster, Newbury, Newport, Sunapee and Unity. Power was expected to be out until about 6 p.m. In some cases, the rains were also accompanied by strong thunderstorms. Firefighters in Chester were called to 41 Lane Road for a house fire that officials said was likely started by lightning. “The homeowner heard the bang, saw the flash of the lightning, and then minutes later smelled smoke, and in the area of origin there doesn’t appear to be anything else that could have caused it,” said Chief Rich Antoine. The heavy rains were expected to last into the afternoon, while lighter rain is expected in southern New Hampshire during the evening commute. —Courtesy of WMUR

Joe Nocera The New York Times

Hooray for Federal Loans! The first is that Solyndra wasn’t ready for prime time and that the Department of Energy, which gave it a $535 million federally guaranteed loan, should have known as much. The second is that Solyndra used political influence to land a loan that was destined to blow up. And the third is that Solyndra’s bankruptcy case shows why government bureaucrats shouldn’t be picking technology winners and losers — or making risky investments that the private sector won’t. I think we can now safely concede the first point. Although what sunk Solyndra was the unsustainably high price of its innovative solar panels, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times and Megan McArdle’s blog at The Atlantic’s Web site have all made a convincing case that, internally, the company was a mess. The second argument, on the other hand, strikes me as utterly bogus. Yes, there are a few e-mails from inside the government that questioned the loan guarantee. And, yes, Solyndra hired — shocker! — lobbyists. But you can always find, after the fact, “bad documents” that can be twisted to make something innocent sound nefarious. “I suspect that when all the information finally comes out, there will be very little that is scandalous,” said Jonathan Rothwell, who has studied the Solyndra case as a senior research analyst at the Brookings Institution. Although Republicans will surely try to keep Solyndra in the news until, oh, next November, the scandal will eventually evaporate because there is very little there. The third criticism is the one that really matters: government “is a crappy vc,” as Obama’s former economic adviser, Larry Summers, put it in another embarrassing e-mail that was recently released as part of a Congressional investigation into Solyndra. “VC,” of course, stands for venture capitalist; the notion is that government is not equipped to play that role. A corollary point, voiced by Holman Jenkins Jr. in The Wall Street Journal, is that solar projects that make financial sense get financed by the private sector and those that don’t are the ones that need federal backing. But if you spend any time actually looking into how the Department of Energy doles out the loan guarantees, you quickly realize that it’s not acting like a venture capitalist. Rather, it is funding projects that have already attracted private capital — lots of it. The private sector, in other words, is still the

one picking winners and losers. What the program is essentially doing is moving alternative energy innovations to full-scale development. Why is the government doing this? Because this is precisely where the private sector fails. As Rothwell puts it, “The program is supposed to overcome the commercialization valley of death.” In this country, it is relatively easy to get venture capital for a good idea — and alternative energy has attracted billions in the past few years. What is hard to come by is money to fund the far more expensive process of commercializing the innovation. Andy Grove, the former chief executive of Intel (and still one of the great business minds in America), has been sounding the alarm about this, pointing out that one reason so many American innovations wind up being manufactured in China is that the Chinese are more than happy to finance the commercialization process. One company that has received three federally guaranteed loans, totaling more than $3 billion, is First Solar. That money is going to help the company build three solar power plants in California and Arizona. The plants already have long-term contracts with utilities. They have locked-in cash flows. The risk is minimal. Shouldn’t banks be making these loans? Sure, but they are still paralyzed by the financial crisis and don’t understand the economics of solar power. Can you really argue that the government should, therefore, also sit on its hands? Indeed, one goal of the loan guarantee program is to show private capital that these loans make sense — so that the banks can eventually step in and replace the government. The Republicans know all this, surely. In 2005, when the Energy Policy Act was first proposed by the Bush administration, they made some of these same arguments in support of the loan guarantee program, which was part of the bill. The bill passed the House with overwhelming Republican support. Most Democrats voted no. Today, the Republican-led Energy and Commerce Committee is investigating Solyndra, forcing its executives to take the Fifth Amendment, and releasing embarrassing White House e-mails. I looked it up: every single Republican on that committee who was in office in 2005 voted for the loan guarantee program that they are now so gleefully condemning. I wonder why.

NORTH COUNTRY -- During the last 20102011 North Country Charter Academy Board of Trustees meeting, the members expressed their support and extreme satisfaction with the continued success of the charter school. With the close out of 2011 school year, NCCA graduated a total of 248 students in which 60 of those students were recovered dropouts. The board members were presented Certificates of Appreciation for their dedication and exceptional governance of the charter school. NCCA is having a significant impact not only throughout the North Country but also statewide. This past year NCCA received a copy of

the New Hampshire Dropout Prevention and Recovery Oversight Council’s 2010 Annual Report and was delighted to see the following table: Out of the 11 programs funded through Alternative Education, NCCA had the greatest impact in the state of New Hampshire: Also supported by the board was sending a delegation to the National Alliance for Public Charter School Conference which was funded through a grant. Through a competitive process, NCCA was chosen to be presenters to share its successful model to the nation. The conference took place in Atlanta, Georgia in July 2011.

had the GI Bill, “the State gave us a $100 bonus (worth $1,231 in today’s dollars) and 52/20 unemployment benefits. But the economy was not that great and jobs were hard to find. Some people worked double shifts and were reluctant to give up a shift so that a vet could be hired,” he said. Nonetheless, Paris found his way and today, a resident of the N.H. Veterans Home in Londonderry, he advised returning vets “to be patient, be careful who you elect to any office or run yourself. There are more than enough of you to change the status quo,” he said, urging vets to join the service organizations like the VFW, the American Legion, the DAV, the Marine Corps League and others. They need you and are more than willing to help you,” he said. Gerald J. O’Brien, 78, also a resident at the N.H. Veterans Home, had joined the National Guard in 1950 and was called up during the Korean War (June 1950-1953) where he served with the 25th Infantry Division as the BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) man in his 12-man rifle squad before becoming squad leader. Notes Joseph Balkoski in his book, “Beyond the beachhead,” “Every twelve-man rifle squad had a single BAR. Army field manuals insisted that successful squad tactics depended on a carefully positioned and skilfully operated BAR. Accordingly, the squad leader tended to assign the BAR to one of his most reliable privates. The BAR man had to be sturdy, for the weapon weighed almost twenty pounds.” “A typical BAR gunner of the Korean War carried the twelve-magazine belt and combat suspenders, with three or four extra magazines in pockets. Extra canteens, .45 pistol, grenades, and a flak vest added still more weight. . . . Company commanders typically picked the smallest infantryman in the company to carry the BAR, with preference for men that were aggressive and could demonstrate a mastery of the big gun. . . . In combat, the (BAR) frequently decided the outcome of frenzied attacks by North Korean and Chinese Communist forces.” Such talents stood O’Brien in good stead on the battlefield, but when he came home, it was a different story. “I have PTSD. I’ve had it for almost 60 years,” O’Brien told the audience. “It didn’t get better by itself. I thought combat hadn’t affected me. I was in denial.” His first wife walked out on him and he nearly lost his second wife because of his impossible behavior. That was when he realized, as he put it, “that something was wrong with me.” He was 57 at the time. It had taken him years to accept the fact that he needed help. “Fortunately I was referred to a therapist who is a Viet Nam veteran,” O’Brien said. “Immediately there was a bond. He helped me to help myself.” O’Brien appealed to the audience and any others who might hear the discussion, “Don’t wait for years like I did. You aren’t weak if you ask for help. I only wish I’d done it sooner,” he said. “Thanks to the therapist and therapy, my second marriage lasted 32 years. Jean died of cancer in 2007. Otherwise, we’d still be together.” He noted his most troubling symp-

toms: He used to fall into rages in which his first thought was to kill, later modified to “kick ass,” and now he realizes he can react with a “C’est la vie.” He said he was always up-tight, prepared for an attack. He drank too much. He was intolerant and “tough on the kids.” He distrusted everybody and had no close relationships. “I had lots of acquaintances, but no friends. They were civilians,” he said dismissively. “Therapy helps,” he said, addressing his audience of fellow military. “I’m proof of that. Don’t wait. Get help. You’ve earned it and you deserve it. And thank you all for your service.” Dave Dubey told the audience that he joined the Marine Corps “right out of high school, in 1974.” He was on active duty from 19741979, during “the Cold War,” serving in a unit that sent people all over the world. “I went to places like Sardinia and Vieques (an island off Puerto Rico). “ Although there were times when the unit was on alert status, they never went into combat. In 1978 he was deployed to Germany. With a growing family, he decided to leave active service in 1979 when it was time to decide whether or not to re-up. He noted that the economy was not in good shape at the time, but “I was fortunate to come back to a supportive family and a community that respects its Veterans,” and was able to complete his education with the help of The GI Bill, he said. “I don’t know much about the other branches, but the Marine Corps challenged me from the first day of basic training,” he said. “I was continually placed in positions where I did not think I could succeed, and then I was pushed until I did succeed. After enough of this, I learned to push myself to overcome obstacles;” he said. . . . “We helped each other through the various challenges, and along the way our thinking changed. Our fear of failure began as a fear of incurring the wrath of our drill instructors but transformed into fear of letting our buddies down. Along with this came a strong desire not to let myself down, and this is what I took home with me. In the years since, I have raised a family, built a business, obtained a degree, and dealt with multiple life threatening illnesses and injuries.” He noted that he had been asked to talk about the problems he has experienced as a Veteran and this had led him to say that it really bothers him “when someone finds out that I am a Veteran and then thanks me for my service. I don’t know how to reply,” he said. But he did. “For now, I’m going to take it upon myself to speak for all Veterans, the millions of us, living and dead, who have served America for over 200 years, and I’m going to respond to the people of America who are thanking us for our service,” he said. “We’re glad you appreciate your freedom. We’d be gladder still if more of you would get off your butts and do something useful with it. We didn’t serve, and fight, and bleed, and die to serve our self interests. We did our part to make America free and great, and we succeeded. Now America needs you to do your part. Put aside see VETS page 6

FINANCI AL FOCUS

Organizing Your Finances Can Pay Off - In Many Ways A few years ago, the National Association of Professional Organizers designated the first week of October as Get Organized Week. And while you may have misplaced your notification of this event, it’s nonetheless a good time to see just how organized you are in the important areas of your life — such as your finances. You can organize your finances in two basic ways: by keeping track of where your various accounts are located and by consolidating your assets. Let’s look at both these areas. To begin with, you might think it’s no big deal to keep track of your financial accounts. After all, no one lets these accounts just slip away, does he? Actually, you might be surprised: At least $32 billion, and possibly much more, of “lost” property (savings, investments, retirement accounts and so on) are in the custody of state treasurers and other agencies, according to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators. How do people misplace these funds? They might move from a town and forget to close a bank account. Or they might leave a job and not realize they’ve left behind money in a 401(k). However they do it, it happens — but you don’t want it to happen to you. Fortunately, it’s not hard to keep tabs on your various accounts — you just need to make a list. Where do you keep your checking and savings accounts? Where are your investments held? Do you have a retirement plan, such as a 401(k) with your current employer? How about any retirement plans with former employers? If you have Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), do you keep them with multiple providers? By answering these questions, you can develop a comprehensive list of what you own and where it’s located. Of course, it’s a good idea to update this list periodically — at least once a year — to reflect any changes in your ownership. Knowing what you have will be helpful to you in evaluating your financial situation today. But if you want to help yourself make progress toward your goals for tomorrow, you’ll also want to consider another organizational technique: consolidating your assets. Specifically, if you have some stocks here, a couple of certificates of deposits (CDs) there and some IRAs at still another place, you might consider consolidating them with one financial services provider. With all your investments in one place, you can possibly reduce the fees and paperwork associated with maintaining your accounts. And when you eventually start taking withdrawals from your IRA and 401(k), you may find it easier to calculate these required distributions if they’re coming from just one provider, rather than multiple sources. But most importantly, when you consolidate your investments with one provider, you’ll find it easier to follow a single, unified investment strategy. A qualified financial advisor can look at all your assets and determine if you’ve got redundancies in your holdings and if you need to increase your diversification. (Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss.) Furthermore, once a financial advisor knows your situation, he or she can recommend strategies that are appropriate for your objectives, risk tolerance and time horizon. Get Organized Week lasts only seven days. But by using this time to begin organizing your finances, you could see benefits for years to come.

Dori Hamilton served as a Navy nurse from the Vietnam War period to her retirement 15 years ago to a farm in Lisbon where she continued her profession as as an RN with the North Country Home Health and Hospice for three years and now is a sheep farmer and fiber artist. Over the years she served at the Naval Medical Center, San Diego, Station Hospital in Danang, the Naval Medical Center in Oakland, the Naval Hospital on Whidbey Island, the Naval Hospital in Long Beach, the White House Medical Unit, the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, and the Naval Hospital Guantanamo Bay. She described her life has having been bisected: the first section among her loving family in Chalfont, Penna., where she was known as Dottie ... the nickname for her formal name of Dorothea. She completed her education as Dottie and began her service with the Navy as Dottie. Then she was assigned to the hospital in Danang. Young and nervous, she introduced herself to her new co-workers as “Dottie.” “’Oh, no,’” she remembers being told by the head nurse, “’My name is Dottie. You are Dori.’ and Dori it has been ever since,” Hamilton said. “My life has two parts: before Vietnam and after Vietnam.” The name change might as well have also been a metaphor for the profound experience of serving in Vietnam and its deepening affect on her

service. She retired a Commander. She elicited a warm response from a Vietnam Veteran in the audience. He remembered being shot in battle and passing out. When he came to on the hospital ship at Danang, he said, he saw a bright light and a beautiful figure, dressed all in white, bending over him. “I thought I had died and gone to heaven,” he said, with a big smile. “We all loved you,” he said enthusiastically to Hamilton who responded with a kind smile. Fifteen-year-old Katarina Lindskog, an honors student at Franklin High School, has seen her step-father MSG James M. Aldridge deployed three times to Afghanistan and Iraq. She told the audience that she has taken part in many military related events over the years, and particularly enjoyed the various youth camps that are provided by the National Guard and Operation Military Kids. Bea Picknell, originally from Berlin, Germany, was a war bride and thanked Paris and Dubey particularly for their part in freeing the German people, first from the Nazis and second for his part in bringing down the Berlin Wall.

the first option because he would be moved from Ward III to Ward I. “You didn’t like your area torn apart,” she reminded Rozek. Ward I Councilor Russell Otis said he thought people would have a hard time if the new ward line splits neighborhoods. Grenier suggested adjusting the dividing line so all of the avenues currently in Ward I remain in the new Ward I. To compensate, he proposed moving the area around the Coos County Nursing Home from Ward II to Ward I. After studying the maps while council continued with its regular meeting, Laflamme indicated said she would come back next week with some additional variations for the two wards. Still to be decided by the council is how to recommend allocating councilor positions. Grenier said he favored electing two councilors from each ward and having the other four councilors run at large. He said he was not in favor of COURT from page one

court concluded that figure was “a unique value arrived at in a distressed setting” and was not an accurate picture of its taxable valuation. North American Dismantling also argued the standing buildings on the property did not have value because the highest and best use of the property required their demolition. The court noted Sancoucy valued the standing building based on whether they were in use, available, or scheduled for demolition. Finally, North American Dismantling said Marcicki has extensive experience in demolition, salvage, and buying distressed properties and should have been certified as an expert witness when he testified. But the court said the trial court found Marcicki was not a licensed N.H. real estate appraiser, had no prior experience in professional appraisal practices, and had not dealt with any other properties in the state. Based on those findings, the court said the trial court acted within its discretion when it rejected Marcicki as an expert witness. According to court documents, Marcicki confirmed during cross examination that his company generated over $18 million in revenue from its ownership of the properties, not including $3.8 million held in escrow in a Michigan lawsuit with a joint venturer on the project. In December 2008, North American Dismantling sold 61 acres, including the recovery boiler, scale house, and several buildings, to Laidlaw/PJPD for $5 million. Cate Street Capital is now the owner of the 61-acre site and is scheduled tomorrow to break ground on a $275 million project to convert the boiler into a 75-megawatt biomass plant.

reducing the size of the council. Councilor Dori Ducharme said she was in support of Grenier’s proposal to have four councilors run at large. Grenier asked Patrick if the ballot amendment would cover appointments to the water, airport, and police commission which are made by ward. Patrick said the city’s attorney had suggested doing that at a later date to avoid overwhelming voters. Grenier said he would not be able to make appointments to those commissions without it going before the public. Patrick admitted she had not considered that and said she will come back next week with language to amend the resolution. Councilor Tom McCue said he understood the deadline facing the council. But he said the council has a lot to decide. The council held a first reading of the resolution and tabled it at Monday’s meeting. The body decided to hold a special meeting next Monday to pass a final version of the resolution. By that

time, Laflamme will have worked out the final ward maps and the resolution would be brought off the table and amended. If the council approves the resolution, there must be a public hearing on the measure. Patrick said the earliest the council could hold that public hearing is Oct. 24. Then the measure must be approved by the Secretary of State’s office. It would then go on the ballot when the city votes in the presidential primary early next year. The redistricting must be completed by the fall 2012 state elections. Patrick noted that if the presidential primary is moved up to December, the city would likely be forced to call a special election because it could not meet the timeline to get the charter amendment on the ballot. The redistricting will not affect the November city election. Councilors will continue to represent the four wards until the charter amendment is approved and takes effect in November 2012.

By Holiday Mathis you should take it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will feel compelled on some very deep level to study a person. This isn’t someone you would typically think of as a role model, but he or she embodies a quality you want to obtain. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). An average person who focuses intently can become superhuman. That’s because focus is power. You will be increasingly mindful of where you put your attention CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You simply cannot force yourself to do what you don’t want to do. On a different day, under other circumstances, you would be able to do it. But you want something else now, and your best bet is to give in to it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Perhaps your professional dealings are not as profitable as they could be because you have reasons other than financial for doing business. Keep your integrity high, and the money will follow soon. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will be dealing with certain recurring and unhelpful thought processes. The best way is to ignore them. Tend to something else. Read a book. Look at pretty pictures. Anything to get your mind out of the negative spiral. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 5). Widely diversified interests lead to exciting friendships and/or professional developments. Partnerships stabilize in November, and you could embark on a joint project that will be many years in the making. Your industrious nature will net you an award in December. Family celebrates you throughout 2012. Leo and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 24, 37 and 31.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your observations are astute, especially in regard to a certain colleague. You might not like what you surmise from watching this person; however, you can use the information to your advantage. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll express the creativity inside of you. You probably don’t even realize it’s there, but once you get in motion, you are suddenly amazed at the results. It won’t feel like you’re the one making it happen. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have the courage to move forward in spite of your fear. It’s not something you have to develop. There is bravery in you, and all you have to do is remember it’s there. It powers you ever forward. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your tendency toward perfectionism will be prominent. You’ll find that it’s not enough to do a fine job. You’ll keep going with the job until you reach the stellar result to which you are accustomed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will be suddenly struck with the impulse to give yourself something you really, really want. The feeling is similar to the way you realize that if you don’t transfer money into your account, you could bounce a check. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll trace a zigzag course through this day. There’s a logic to this. Perhaps it hardly makes sense, but trust that you have your reasons. Luckily, you won’t have to report to anyone else or explain yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your ego hardly ever needs as much attention as the other guy’s. That’s why you usually wind up doing the stroking instead of getting stroked. Well, it’s your turn, and

WIFE’S PAST EXPERIENCE LOOMS LARGE IN PRESENT MARRIAGE

DEAR ABBY: I met my husband, “Jerome,” two years ago. During our courtship, he helped me to find faith. Because of that, I wanted a completely honest relationship with him and confessed to a “less than moral” experience that occurred several years before I met him. Apparently he was able to accept it, because he proposed and we have been married for several months. Recently, however, Jerome has been saying it’s bothering him and he doesn’t know how to let it go. I’m angry and hurt that something that happened long ago is now causing problems in my marriage. It has made me question why I was honest with him. I’m afraid Jerome will never forgive me. He says he feels as though he has to compete with my past and doesn’t feel he can live up to it. How do I tackle this problem? I can’t change my past, I can’t take back what I told him, and I can’t do anything to change my husband. Please help. -- HAUNTED BY THE PAST DEAR HAUNTED: First, stop apologizing. You are the sum total of all your experiences, and that’s the woman he married. Tell your husband you will not accept anything less than marriage counseling NOW. He knows about your “experience” because you leveled with him. Make it clear that this isn’t a contest, and he’s all you want in a man. If he can’t accept it, there is no basis for a marriage, and frankly, little hope for a future together. DEAR ABBY: I have been invited to a wedding. The invitation included explicit instructions on what is appropriate attire. Ladies are “not to wear anything tight or revealing, or that doesn’t cover chest, back, knees and shoulders.” One of

my friends said she wouldn’t go to such a wedding. Another said, “I don’t own anything that meets their dress code.” We are all three mature women who have always dressed conservatively. What’s your take on this? Am I right to feel insulted? -- CLOTHING-CHALLENGED IN OREGON DEAR CLOTHING-CHALLENGED: Not necessarily. It’s possible that the house of worship where the wedding will be held -- as well as the families involved -- may be conservative or orthodox, which is why the women are being asked to cover themselves. If you feel the dress code is too much of an imposition, you should politely decline the invitation. DEAR ABBY: My granddaughter, who is 18, had a child last year. She kept the baby and dropped out of school. She is now working and has returned to school to get her GED. My husband has always loved her and helps her financially. My problem is she has twice stolen from a fund I keep for our church. Although she is the only one who could have done it, my husband refuses to believe it. I now insist on locking everything up. Abby, if she had asked for the money either time, her grandfather would have given it to her. I think she gets an adrenaline rush from stealing. What can I do about this? -- AT A LOSS IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR AT A LOSS: Where are your granddaughter’s parents? Are they aware of what has been going on? If not, please inform them because if she’s stealing from you for the adrenaline rush, she is probably also doing it elsewhere. Someone needs to see that the girl receives counseling before her behavior lands her in serious trouble. And in the meantime, she should not be left alone in your home.

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

Berlin girls outlast spunky Royals, 2-0 BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN-- The Berlin girl’s field hockey team scored a pair of second half goals and went on to defeat a very tough Mascoma team 2-0 in Berlin on Monday. The Royals came to play and gave Berlin all they could handle in the first half. Mountie keeper Morgan Ouellet and Mascoma’s Kiah Laramine had to be sharp making three saves each to keep the game scoreless until halftime. The Royals’ big hitter, Emily Seamans, kept the Berlin defense on their toes with her hard strokes. Mascoma kept three offensive players in the mid field area and tried to use Seamans to hit the ball down field. Just 1:19 into the second half, Berlin utilized their quick transition game and scored on a perfect three way passing combination. Megan Hood and Carly Perreault worked a perfect give and go to get the play in motion. A perfect lead pass to the right side of the field caught Mountie Lindsey Couture at full speed. The Berlin forward redirected the pass on goal and found the five hole between the pads of Mascoma’s Laramine for a 1-0 advantage. The goal was Couture’s second of the year. The goal seemed to take all of the life out of the Royals. Mascoma generated four short corners in the first half. However, the visitors seemed to be a step slower after the goal and did not register a corner in the second half. Mean while, Berlin kept their pressure on. Berlin worked a corner, getting the ball back to Couture. Couture sent it to the right side of the field and found Morgan Boucher. Boucher centered the ball directly in front of the Mascoma goal. Boucher’s pass found an open Hood. Hood calmly used the back side of her stick and re-directed her shot past a moving Laramine to make it 2-0. The goal was Hood’s team leading thirteenth of the Fall. That was all of the scoring for the remainder of the

game. Berlin’s Ouellet had her busiest game of the season between the pipes making seven saves. The Royal’s Laramine had ten blocks. The Lady Mountaineers held a nine to four edge in corners. The lost put Mascoma back to 5-5 on the year while Berlin upped its record to 9-1. The Lady Mountaineers will travel to Bristol on Wednesday to take on the top ranked and undefeated Newfound Bears. Game time is 4 p.m. MVRHS 0 0-0 BHS 0 2-2 Scoring: MVRHS- none, BHS- Hood, Couture.

Berlin girls slosh their way to a 2-1 overtime win over Spartans BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

WHITEFIELD-- Senior Megan Hood’s overtime goal, lifted the Berlin High School girls’ field Hockey team to a hard fought 2-1 victory over the White Mountain Regional Spartans in a girl’s Division III contest in Whitefield Saturday. The Berlin victory came on the Spartan’s homecoming weekend and in extreme playing conditions with a wet field. The Spartans got on the score board first at 12:43 of the first half. Sophomore sensation Payton Curtis got the goal and was assisted by team mate Sarah St Martin for the 1-0 lead. The field was in very poor playing condition, saturated from the heavy rains. Neither team could generate much of an offense and the slow playing surface, hindered the usually fast transitioning Mountaineers. In the second half, Berlin was pressing in the White Mountain zone. A scramble in front of Spartan goal keeper Abby Towne, had the Mountaineers awarded a penalty stroke for the ball being covered by a Spartan defender. At 6:41 of the second half, Berlin’s Emily Landry scored the penalty stroke goal to get the game tied at 1-1. The play making forward netted her first goal of the season. The game remained scoreless and went into overtime. Berlin’s top gun stepped up and converted the game winning shot at the 9:36 mark.

Berlin School District Business Administrator Bryan Lamirande points to one of two windows at the Junior High School that were hit by air rifle shot or BB pellet last Thursday. The pellet shattered the window above the entrance way into the school. The window has been re-enforced with duct tape until it can be replaced. A window in the gymnasium, installed in the summer of 2010 after the windows had been boarded for year, was also hit. Lamirande said school officials believe the damage was done sometime between 5 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. The district will attempt to collect on its insurance but Lamirande noted the district has a $1,000 deductible. The vandalism was reported to Berlin police. School officials hope anyone with any knowledge about the incident will notify police or school officials. (BARBARA TETREAULT PHOTO)
