City council hears from outside agencies BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – The agencies that provide home maker assistance, serve senior meals, work with teenagers, promote the region, and labor to rebuild Berlin’s downtown made their case for funding before the city council Wednesday night. Each budget cycle the council devotes most of one budget session to hearing from the various social and service agencies

that receive funding from the city. In all 11 different organizations, ranging from AV Home Maker Health and Community Action Program to the Berlin Main Street Program and the Holiday Center requested a total of $91,640 in funding. In his budget proposal, City Manager Patrick MacQueen proposed funding the ten the city funded last year and following the guidelines imposed on city departments – a four percent cut in the current

appropriation. For the ten agencies that would mean total funding of $64,786. MacQueen did not recommend any funding for the American Red Cross, which requested $4,592, because the city has not funded the agency in the past. While the manager’s budget recom mends individual appropriations ranging from $13,161 for CAP to $438 for the Veterans Council, agency officials explained

The commissioners still hope to provide the county attorney with an office in the courthouse, according to the press release. Due to some of the facts cited in Judge Peter Bornstein’s order during the first

case, which Mekeel filed against the commissioners, attorney Phillip Waystack, who represents the commissioners, said the action was ceased. In the previous ruling, Bornstein wrote that “… at this juncture, as a matter of fact, that the reconfigured probate registry will not provide suitable office spaces

There are people out there that still care To the editor: I am writing to let everyone know that there are people out there that still care. When I was diagnosed with cancer last May I thought it was the end of my world. The endless care and support that came in was a God send. So I wanted to write a big thank you. To my son Jacob for putting off your dreams to take care of your mom. I will always be grateful. My dad, Herb Connolly, you were there from the start to help around the house, take care of the children and to make yummy meals even if I couldnt eat them. My family in Florida for the endless support and prayers. My mom for the long talks and crying with me. My sister, Margaretta, it brought us very close and it’s hard to believe that I am your hero. The prayers meant so much. Mr Auto for keeping my truck on the road to get to my treatments. Nathan Corrigan for the t-shirts. Bond

in Lancaster for the help. Everyone that sent flowers and cards. They brought a smile to my face. Michelle Cyr for the long talks and support. Tammy Conway and Crissy Zoulias for many times I cried on your shoulders. Endless trips with me to treatments. Tammy for helping out with the kids and coming over and cleaning when I had no energy. Paul “Poof” Tardiff, every day that you were there to pick up drop off or watch the kids endless times. Thank you. Patrick, Michelle, Nathan and Amanda for walking for me at the Relay for Life and the support. Last to my wonderful husband, Jason Connolly. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to do it by myself. You’re my everything. Thank you to all again. God Bless and remember to smile always. Milissiae Doty Berlin

It is enough to get us all frustrated To the editor: In regard to what is going on with our economy, countrywide, statewide and locally. It’s enough to get us all frustrated, pointing figures at everyone but ourselves. As the saying goes, “you point one finger at someone, three point back at you”. So why don’t we start with what oneself can do to help out during this economic downturn. What did oneself do back in ‘08, ‘09 and other past years,

to get through the downturn? Did we turn on one another, maybe , maybe not, maybe some did, hopefully less then more. I always enjoy” listening” to the older generation, because they’ve are experienced, they know what will happen if you speak to quickly, My motherin-law had a great saying which came from her dad, “before you speak, engage your brain”.

Caregiving? What’s The Buzz?

Lately, everywhere we seem to turn, we hear about Caregivers and Caregiving. Celebrities such as Maria Shriver, Leeza Gibbons, Martha Stewart and Rob Lowe continue to share their own personal experiences as caregivers, advocating for caregiver awareness. Just recently, Diane Sawyer, and ABC World Evening News offered a wonderful, week long series providing information and insight into the world of caregiving when caring for another, bringing about awareness to this often gargantuan task. Information abounds on the Internet, websites such as the Alzheimer’s Association’s (www. alz.org) or www.Caregiver.org offer invaluable information and resources for those currently enduring, or maybe just beginning this often thankless task. Just recently a local caregiver eloquently described the challenges encountered as well as the benefits of support and positive encouragement. So what’s the buzz??? What is a caregiver and who are they? Why are they mentioned everywhere we turn?? Do they work in hospitals or in nursing homes? Are they just the celebrities we read about or see on TV? The answer to these questions is NO! Caregivers are people like you and me; they are the parents of a disabled child, the children of aging parents, or the spouse or partner of a loved one no longer able to live independently and provide their own self-care. Caregivers are brothers, sisters, siblings, in-laws, friends and neighbors, virtually anyone providing the day to day care of another. Former first lady Roselyn Carter said it best: “There are only four kinds of people in the world – those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers”. The role of a caregiver could be assigned overnight; it could be the moment when someone we love receives a life altering diagnosis. Perhaps, a person might inherit this role after the phone rings and discovers a loved one has just been in a horrific accident or maybe mom or dad has fallen, and is no longer able to live alone. Other times, the role of caregiver happens gradually, over time as our parents’ health declines with age. The role may start slowly such as accompanying your parents to doctor appointments, managing their finances or dispensing medicine. It might begin with preparing and dropping off a hot meal or making daily check-in calls. It might begin by answering a call of distress, when your mother or father can’t find the television’s remote control or the television is stuck on some scrambled channel as dementia slowly sets in. In time, these calls can become more frequent, and more demanding when searching for a “hidden” remote control becomes the least of your worries. Your check-in calls turn into intermittent sleep overs which in time, may graduate and require

a more personal sacrifice such as moving in to their home, or relocating your loved one into yours. Caregivers themselves may not recognize the fact that they are a “caregiver” as they tirelessly provide day to day care. These selfless individuals do not know they are, per se, a “caregiver” until someone such as a physician or maybe a social worker gives them that proverbial hat to wear, or the title that is becoming all so familiar, “You are a Caregiver”. Caregivers say that they do not see it as a job, or a role with a “special” title. I have heard statements such as: “it just goes with the job” or “I took a vow, such as “in sickness and in health” a commitment they may have made so many years ago. I recall a caregiver, a spouse who once said “it’s what I signed up to do”. I have heard others say “I do it, because they once took wonderful care of me, and it’s the least I can do”; or just maybe, they didn’t, but still you still assume the role. Caregivers are our friends, neighbors or maybe our brothers or our sisters. Caregivers work tireless hours helping another while forgoing their own needs, making many sacrifices and may lose themselves or their health along the way. So what are some of the sacrifices that Caregivers make? It becomes a delicate balance of time, sustaining a career and maintaining personal relationships, as well as making time for selfcare. Caring for another may mean giving up routines, hobbies and other personal interests; cancelling vacations, missing out on weddings and other family events or missing their children’s ball games and school plays. Caregiving often creates a strain on personal relationships with spouses, partners and children, as all their lives also become impacted by this role. Caregivers sometimes sacrifice privacy as they make room for medical equipment and the daily coming and goings of needed service providers. They convert family or living rooms into bedrooms, add walk-in showers or build in ramps. It becomes a world filled with doctor appointments, working with service providers, case managers, filling out forms and signing documents; back and forth to the pharmacy, managing pills and developing other strategies to make it ALL work. It means negotiating flexible schedules with reasonable or unreasonable employers, and some, may need to leave their jobs and careers completely. They may also experience loneliness and isolation, and others may pay with their health or in some cases their very life, like my Uncle, the one who once said “it’s what I signed up to do”. Caregiving is not just about the sacrifices I listed above. Caregivers may discover that there are many positive aspects when providing care for another. Small gifts reveal themselves during some of the most difficult times see CAREGIVING page 5

that you may encounter. It may be the moment of recognition you get, when your loved one thanks you for all you do, -even though she hasn’t been able to form a sentence in years due to dementia. Caregiving provides the satisfaction of being able to help another. It has the ability to deepen relationships or heal those that may have been previously strained. Caregivers often describe the feelings of personal fulfillment and accomplishment, and the later recognition of the gifts of patience, empathy and endurance. It maybe small moments such as this that help you endure some of the most difficult of times, while making it all worth the while. I have written very frankly about the day in the life of a Caregiver, hoping to help those that are experiencing this role personally, identify and recognize all they do. But also, to enlighten those around them, by emphasizing the importance and value of your support and the gift of self, while never assuming they have it “all under control”. So what do you do if you are a caregiver, or know one? It is important for caregivers and family to know the importance and advantages of “respite”, an “interval of rest or relief”, Respite can truly make a difference. If you’re a caregiver, acknowledge all that you do, and promise to make time for yourself and allow yourself a break with respite. Remember to practice self-care, so you can go the long, extra mile. Make time to exercise and eat right, to help with stress and your own well-being. Remember most importantly, it’s ok to ask for help, because no one should have to do it alone. If you know a caregiver, help all you can. Don’t wait for them to ask for help, because they won’t, even when offered, you may need to remind or insist on them taking a break. Help them by offering and providing respite relief, or running errands, because all the smallest things matter. Volunteer, get involved and help someone you may

chandise and still more socializing. Join the Randolph Mountain Club in celebrating spring and treat yourself to a fine evening out with great people and fabulous food. The event is limited to 50 guests and there is a $35 per person charge for the meal. Reservations are required and can be made by contacting event chair, Sarah Gallup at : seg@ mit.edu.

for the county attorney or, for that matter, that it will provide suitable ones.” Waystack said Bornstein also wrote that because there are a number of options, the court determined it’s at the commissioners’ discretion to determine what option to pursue. County Attorney Robert Mekeel said he was happy to hear of the commissioners’ decision. “I am pleased to learn from the press that the Coos County Board of Commissioners has finally abandoned their meritless lawsuit against the Coos County attorney,” said Mekeel. “My hope is that now the State of New Hampshire will recognize our situation and finally free up the underutilized space on the second floor of the courthouse to provide suitable affordable space for the county attorney’s office.”

Waystack said the commissioners plan to resume negotiations with the county attorney to find the best solution to the office space problem. The commissioners sought a declaratory judgment from the court to rule that the proposed three-way space swap and renovation in the courthouse would provide the county attorney with adequate office space. Bornstein ruled, in November, that the county attorney’s current office space in inadequate and that the commissioners need to provide suitable space. Waystack, who represented the commissioners, said they were looking for an opinion from the court before spending taxpayers’ money on the renovation project. In the meantime, Mekeel and his staff will temporarily relocate to the former Lancaster Bank building, in Lancaster.

Northway Bank and Union Bank announce agreement for purchase and sale of three NB branch offices Berlin, N.H. and Morrisville, V.T. – Northway Financial, Inc. and Union Bankshares, Inc. announced today that their wholly-owned bank subsidiaries have entered into an agreement for the purchase and sale of three branch offices. Under the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, Union Bank will purchase Northway Bank’s Groveton, Littleton, and North Woodstock, New Hampshire, branches. The three offices will become branches of Union Bank and all the branch employees will become Union Bank employees. It is expected that the transaction will be completed in May 2011, and is subject to receipt of the required regulatory approvals. Northway Bank President and CEO Bill Woodward said, “Over the years, Northway Bank has tried to satisfy the changing needs of customers by regularly reviewing their banking patterns and finding ways to make their banking with Northway Bank more responsive, comfortable, and convenient.

One of those ways has been to provide branches in market areas that are adjacent to, or close to, one another. The bank’s most recent review has indicated that the three branches to be transferred to Union Bank – Littleton, Groveton, and North Woodstock – are located in areas in which Northway Bank does not have a strong branch presence in an adjacent or nearby market. As a result, Northway Bank has decided that customers in those branches might be well served if their banking needs were met by another community bank, particularly one that has a presence in adjacent markets. Accordingly, Northway Bank has reached an agreement with Union Bank of Morrisville, Vermont, to transfer these three branches to them. We selected Union Bank for this transaction because we knew they had the resources, market knowledge and presence, and are very committed to making banking a great experience for their customers.”

Woodward added, “We are confident that Union Bank, as a locally-owned and managed community banking institution, shares our strong commitment to the communities it serves and that our customers will benefit from Union Bank’s full array of banking products and high level of customer service.” Woodward also stated, “We want to assure our branch customers that the transition to Union Bank will be accomplished smoothly and efficiently, and that they will continue to be served by the same friendly banking professionals. Like Northway, Union Bank has a long history of serving the public as a community bank, with values and a mission similar to Northway’s. It operates 14 branches, mostly in northern Vermont, including one location in Littleton, and three in St. Johnsbury, Vermont.” Commenting on the proposed transaction, Union Bank President and CEO Ken Gibbons stated, “We see NORTHWAY page 10

AGENCIES from page one

the limited funding is important because in many cases it provides a local match needed to obtain larger amounts of grant monies. The agencies also employ local people. Larry Kelly, executive director of CAP, reported his agency provides over 100 local jobs. Margo Sullivan, executive director of AV Home Maker Services, said her organizations employs 72 people. Mayor Paul Grenier and Councilors Diana Nelson, Tom McCue, and Mike Rozek praised the work the agencies do. Grenier expressed concern that downsizing by the state will increase the demand for services provided by agencies like AV Home Maker and CAP. Kelly estimated it cost Senior Meals $7 for each meal served in Berlin. He said Berlin’s appropriation represents 13 cents of the $7 dollars. Northern Human Services is requesting a dollar per resident of Berlin to support unfunded mental health services to residents. Dick Huot of the Northern Forest Heritage Park spoke about the infuse of enthusiasm at the park, which is hosting three new events this year. Nelson agreed that the park is finally on its way to being self-supporting.

The council was impressed with the ‘Welcome Booklet’ put together by the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce to attract new residents to the area. Chamber Vice-President Mark Belanger said the booklet was put together with the new federal prison employees in mind. He also spoke about the chamber’s new web page developed in collaboration with the N.H. Grand project. Grenier took the opportunity to admit he was wrong in his earlier opposition to the N.H. Grand branding project. “I’m a pretty hard guy to convince but they did convince me,” he said. “They did the job and they did the job right,” he said. Sylvia Poulin advocated for the Berlin Main Street Program, which is seeking $17,550. She cited the work done by the program in the downtown last year. In addition, her organization has a $55,000 grant into the Tillotson Fund to develop an action plan for the downtown. Public Service of N.H. and the Berlin Main Street Program would provide additional funding. The next budget session is Wednesday, March 23 when the police commission will present its budget request to the council. Budget sessions start at 6:30 p.m. at city hall.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your mode of transportation could use some attention. Whether it’s better shoes or a better car, there’s something that is within your power to upgrade, and this is the luckiest day in months to do so. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You expect much of yourself, and you will often deliver on these expectations, but not always. When you don’t quite make it, the key is to be patient and try again. There’s no need for anger; nor is there time for it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are motivated only slightly by money. Your true desire is to know more about this existence. You thirst for knowledge, and you think a lot about what is true. That is precisely how you will spend many of your hours. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The need to feel powerful is basic and exists in animals, as well as people. All indicators suggest that you can’t help it that you are highly ambitious and thrilled to be in charge. So embrace your need to lead, and go for it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will free-associate yourself into a poetic state of mind. Your creativity is a delight to all around you. There is no greater thrill for you today than to put something in the world that wasn’t there before. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 18). Though you are classy and appropriate, this year you will speak your mind and behave as you please to a greater extent. April brings a windfall. Over the next 10 weeks, many will find the glamour and mystery around you most entrancing. Be judicious with your schedule, giving loved ones the most of yourself. Capricorn and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 31, 24, 39 and 41.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll pursue your ambitious dreams and make sacrifices to get ahead. You won’t mind working long, though this becomes unpleasant if you know that others are waiting at home for you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re a little like a homing pigeon who will enjoy flight and exploration as long as you can return to roost. You need your freedom, but at the end of this day, you won’t mind being contained in a safe and cozy environment. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Part of you really wants to be included in a situation you don’t easily fit into. You don’t know why -- that is a mystery and probably not worth getting into. You will eventually make your way in, though. CANCER (June 22-July 22). People study to learn what you already know instinctively. You will influence others without thinking, persuade them without talking, comfort them without putting yourself out in the least. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Whatever you want to do, it will be accomplished today through your network. You’ll see where you could add a few people, as well -- people who have different skills and extensive reach in a world of which you know little. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You value family to such an extent that you feel the impetus to raise and teach relatives who aren’t your children. Perhaps this has to do with taking care of your parents or another extension of your clan. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You like people who explore and experiment, especially if they come back to you with the highlights of their discoveries. You would do the same if you had the time, but lately your schedule won’t allow for it.

CUSTOMERS WHO ARE PATRONIZED MAY DECIDE NOT TO BE PATRONS

DEAR ABBY: While standing in a checkout line yesterday, I witnessed a cashier speak to the older woman in front of me in a condescending manner. She kept calling her “Sweetie” and talking to her as if she were a 3-year-old. The woman was obviously offended, but said nothing. I experienced this kind of behavior often when my mother was alive. Receptionists, waitresses, store clerks and others would direct their questions to me and talk to me while my mother stood there, perfectly capable of answering the questions herself. I’m sure these people did not intend to be rude or disrespectful. However, it was extremely annoying to both Mother and me. Because a person is elderly does not mean he or she is senile. Regardless of their mental capacity, older people have earned the right to be treated with dignity and respect. -- OFFENDED IN KINGSPORT, TENN. DEAR OFFENDED: I’m glad you wrote. I have seen it happen, too, and with people who should have known better. And when it did happen, the offender was sometimes called on it in a way that wasn’t at all “sweet.” Readers, if this letter strikes a familiar chord, please remember that most senior citizens are completely in control of their faculties and treat them accordingly. (Or risk losing a customer.) DEAR ABBY: At least two or three times a week, I receive requests for donations from various organizations. Many times the envelopes contain address labels, calendars and notepads. As much as I would like, I can’t afford to donate to every cause. Is it wrong to use these “gifts” if I don’t con-

tribute? It’s a shame to waste them -- especially the address labels. No one else can use them. I’m sure I’m not the only person who struggles with this moral dilemma. I’d really like your input. -- FEELING GUILTY IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR FEELING GUILTY: The organizations that send those unsolicited mailings count on the recipients feeling so guilty that they’ll send something. If using the unsolicited “gifts” makes you feel guilty, toss them or don’t open the envelope in the first place. Compile a list of those causes that you wish to give to, decide what amount you have to donate to all of them, divide the total and send your checks. And as you do, check them off your list to make sure you won’t accidentally give twice because many (not all) organizations solicit more than once a year, hoping donors will forget they have given and send more. DEAR ABBY: I am seeing a therapist for my depression. The problem is I find myself wanting to have sexual relations with him. I’m 23, and he’s older than my father, who is 63! What’s wrong with me? Obviously, I can’t have an affair with my therapist, and I desperately do not want to change doctors. Please help. -- LOVESICK PATIENT IN MONTANA DEAR LOVESICK: What’s going on with you is very common. There is a name for it: transference. While this may be embarrassing to you, I assure you your therapist has heard it before. It’s not necessary that you change doctors, but it is important that you be honest about your feelings. (Nobody ever said therapy was for the faint of heart!)
