Strange Spring in Tuckerman Ravine
This couple enjoying the May-like weather on Mount Washington.
BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
MOUNT WASHINGTON — Despite this past week’s recordbreaking temperatures and the meltdown’s impact on snow conditions, the spring ski season goes on in the famed ski bowl of Tuckerman Ravine, with the best skiing to be had in Left Gully and Hillman’s Highway as of Friday. How long it will all last is the question. “It’s unusual, I would say, as I have

never seen it this bare in my 22 years as a snow ranger. It’s more like May than March,” said the U.S. Forest Service’s lead Mount Washington snow ranger Chris Joosen Friday. It was yet another sunny but cooler and more windy day in the ravine, which was showing undermined snow, crevasses opening up, and dangers of falling ice — especially above the Lunch Rocks area, a popular gathering spot for spectators in the past, but a spot that snow rangers have dissuaded the public from using in
recent years because of the proclivity of boxcar-sized chunks breaking hurtling down from above there on the right side of the bowl. “We’re went through an obvious warm spell this week,,” said Joosen, who like his fellow snow rangers is based out of the Androscoggin District in Gorham, “but April and May in the high mountains are weather producers and we could still see more snow. If this warm weather continues, then yes, we would have a melt-out earlier than normal. We’ve already seen it
start to get colder and the refreeze happened [Thursday] night, and it’s supposed to be colder this weekend. That slows down the deterioration level. The season is not over.” Changing use patterns Use patterns have changed in the ravine over the course of Joosen’s 22-year career. He says use is not declining — it’s just that now it is more dispersed, as back-country skiers now head up there throughout the winter to enjoy see STRANGE page 5
Burton and Gallus call for public Gorham PD to step up meeting on Umbagog Refuge ordinance enforcement BY MELISSA GRIMA
BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
BERLIN – Executive Councilor Raymond Burton and state Senator John Gallus are inviting the entire N.H. Congressional delegation and U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine to a June 23 public meeting in Errol to discuss local concerns about the Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge. The pair are also calling for the formation of an Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge Citizens Advisory Committee and endorsing a request by the Coos County Commissioners for a four year moratorium on additional federal land

purchases in the county’s unincorporated places. Burton and Gallus met Saturday with Errol resident Bob Lord who presented the two officials with about 700 signatures on a petition to stop any future growth of the refuge. The petition charges the refuge has evolved into a “federal land grab” that is taking thousands of acres of land off the local tax rolls and threatening traditional uses such as hunting and snowmobiling. Meeting in Gallus’ office, Lord questioned the refuge’s purchase of the 156-acre Big Island earlier this month for $1 million. He noted the see UMBAGOG page 6 Buying or Selling Real Estate?

GORHAM — While the town continues to look at whether or not the ordinance against the use of engine brakes for tractor trailers should be revisited, police have decided to increase enforcement. “In response to continued complaints concerning the use of engine brakes in the Town of Gorham, the Gorham Police Department

Learning to drive with A.D.H.D. (NY Times) — Learning to drive is hard and scary for many teenagers, and driving is far and away the most dangerous thing teenagers do. But the challenges are significantly greater for young people who, have attention problems. A number of cognitive conditions can affect driving, and instructors report a recent increase in the number of teenagers with Asperger syndrome seeking licenses. But the largest group of challenged teenage drivers appears to be those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. A 2007 study, by Russell A. Barkley of the Medical University of South Carolina and Daniel J. Cox of the University of Virginia Health System, concluded that young drivers with A.D.H.D. are two to four times as likely as those without the condition to have an accident — meaning that they are at a higher risk of wrecking the car than an adult who is legally drunk. Researchers say that many teenagers with attention or other learning problems can become good drivers, but not easily or quickly, and that some will be better off not driving until they are older — or not at all. The most obvious difficulty they face is inattention, the single leading cause of crashes among all drivers, said Bruce Simons-Morton, of the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development in Bethesda, Md.

KABUL, Afghanistan (NY Time) — Three NATO soldiers were shot to death on Monday in two separate confrontations involving Afghan security forces, officials said, adding to a string of “green on blue” killings that have complicated the relationship between Afghanistan and its Western allies. In southern Helmand Province, an Afghan National Army
soldier turned his weapon on British soldiers, killing two of them before being shot to death, said Ghulam Farooq Parwani, deputy commander of the 215th Afghan National Army Corps. The shootings took place at the British-run headquarters of the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Lashkar Gah, the capital of the province, he said. NATO confirmed that two

of its soldiers had been killed in an attack, but did not identify their nationality. Also, the international military command in Afghanistan reported that one of its soldiers had been shot to death by an “alleged member of the Afghan local police” as members of the International Security Assistance Force approached a police checkpoint.
Justices hear argument that health care is premature WASHINGTON (NY Time) — The Supreme Court on Monday appeared ready to clear away the last remaining obstacle to a historic ruling on President Obama’s health care overhaul law. At the opening of three days of arguments, the justices’ questions suggested that they were receptive to a point on which both supporters and opponents of the law agree: that the court should decide the case now rather than waiting until the law’s penalties for not having health insurance become due. On Tuesday, the court will turn to the central question in the case, the constitutionality of the law’s requirement that most Americans obtain insurance or pay a penalty.
The courtroom on Monday was packed to capacity, including with some members of the public who had waited in line since Friday, and the justices seemed energized, talking over each other more than usual. The argument on Monday was a sort of appetizer to Tuesday’s main course, a 90-minute debate over whether the court has the authority to hear the case at all given an 1867 law, the Anti-Injunction Act, which says taxpayers may not challenge taxes until they become due. The first penalties for violating the health care law’s individual mandate do not kick in until 2014, and they must be paid on federal tax returns in April 2015.

SANTIAGO, Cuba — Pope Benedict XVI arrived in Cuba on Monday, welcomed by President Raúl Castro, who gripped the pontiff’s hands in greeting but did not kiss his ring. Pope Benedict XVI walked with Cuban President Raúl Castro after arriving at Antonio Macedo airport in Santiago de Cuba on Monday. The pope’s visit is weighted with anticipation that he will press for more religious freedom and an easing of the authoritarian grip here. It comes 14 years after the historic first papal visit to Cuba by his predecessor, John Paul II, which yielded an era of greater religious expression in the country. The pope, who is often criticized as somewhat distant with his flock, left Mexico after three days there that may best be remembered for his appeal to curb the drug-war violence that has killed 50,000 in the past six years, and for the big black sombrero he wore as he rode to Mass on Sunday in the Popemobile. It was an unusual personal touch for the pope, who works in the shadow of John Paul II, who was especially popular and beloved in Latin America.

Cold overnight weather could hurt apple crop
SANBORNTON — Mother Nature has thrown a monkey wrench in Stephen Surowiec’s farming. All eyes are now on his apple crop. “We’re probably about a month ahead,” Surowiec explained. “The trees are thinking we’re a month ahead of where they generally should be.” Because of the mild winter weather, Surowiec said some buds opened early. The small, green leaves popping out are more vulnerable to the recent cold weather. “The green leaves coming out kind of exposes the flower blossoms that are growing inside there to colder temperatures,” Surowiec added. “(Unopened) flower blossoms in here will take temperatures much colder.”
While it is still too early to tell what, if any, affects the weather has on this year’s crop, some fruit experts warn the early bloomers face an uphill battle with incoming frigid temperatures. “We get significant crop loss when we get below 15 degrees,” explained fruit expert Bill Lord, who previously worked with the UNH Cooperative Extension. “So this is a real tough night for sleeping for growers. Obviously, this is their livelihood. Clearly, we are at risk right now for damage” “There’s not a whole lot that you can do at this point,” said Kelly McAdam from the Cooperative Extension. “There’s nothing you can do to the tree to make it stop doing what it’s doing.” —Courtesy of WMUR
Gambling supporters urge lawmakers to pass bill CONCORD — Supporters of a casino bill said New Hampshire has to stake its claim at a news conference Monday. Everyone from restaurant owners to the Auto Dealers Association came out in support of HB 593 days before a critical vote. “I think it has significant economic development potential,” said Joe Faro, owner of Tuscan Kitchen. Supporters touted the bill that would build four casinos across the state, including one in the North Country. They said New Hampshire would lose $100 million in annual revenue to Massachusetts, which just legalized gambling, unless the bill passes. If the bill passed, about $140 million in licensing fees would go into the general fund, while the estimated $300
million in generated revenue would largely go toward lowering business taxes in the state. Rep. Gary Richardson (D-Hopkinton) said the casino industry and its lobby would become too powerful. “It’s going to have a tremendous effect to bring that much money in from one industry,” said Richardson. A gaming bill has never passed the House, but the vote this year is expected to be as close as it has ever been. Gov. John Lynch says he will continue to veto any casino bill. “I don’t want to go forward with any initiative that potentially negatively impacts that quality of life, so as I’ve restated before, if a gambling bill comes to my desk, I will veto it,” he said. —Courtesy of WMUR

Local Destination Imagination teams do well in regional competition at KMS To the editor: On Saturday, March 10, four Destination Imagination teams from Berlin and one team from Gorham participated in a regional competition at Kearsarge Middle School. Destination Imagination is a creative problem solving, team competition with problems ranging from theatrical to building or a combination of both. The solutions have to be student driven with absolutely no interference from people outside of the team. Even team managers can not assist the students in anyway. This year’s teams presented solutions in Improv, Coming Attractions and The Solar Stage. Improv is a problem where 2 news headlines needed to be linked together to show cause and effect and a glitch of some sort was thrown in at the last minute. There were no props other than the students and they did not know the headlines until the time they presented. With Coming Attractions the team had to present a movie trailer for a made up movie and had to feature specific types of scenes. They needed to build a set and design costumes in addition to writing the skit. The Solar Stage required the team to design and build a solar prototype and show how it worked while telling a story. They also had to include theatrical lighting as part of their skit. All of the teams did exceptionally well with the Gorham team placing fifth
overall in their age group and problem category. Three of Berlin’s teams placed third in their respective age and problem categories while the high school team placed second and is advancing to the state competition to be held later this spring. With Destination Imagination, creativity is the most important element in any solution. Allowing the students to “run” the show entirely on their own and steer the solution in the direction they choose is very exciting. The most prestigious award that DI offers is the DaVinci Award for Extreme Creativity. For the second year in a row, Berlin took the honor home with them. Hillside Elementary’s Solar Stage Team was recognized for their out of the box story telling of British hobos in need of heat and light. Their use of sarcasm, dry wit and detailed costumes earned them the organization’s top honor over every other team that presented. As a team manager, I can tell you that these kids work very hard to complete these problems. They have to put skills, they may not use otherwise, to the test. Carpentry skills, seamstress skills, writing, singing, directing, performing, creative thinking, team building, trust, working with different personalities, etc. all come into play with some of these challenges. Life skills that stick with you. I know first hand. I was on the team as see COMPETITION page 5

Lobbyists, Guns and Money
Florida’s now-infamous Stand Your Ground law, which lets you shoot someone you consider threatening without facing arrest, let alone prosecution, sounds crazy — and it is. And it’s tempting to dismiss this law as the work of ignorant yahoos. But similar laws have been pushed across the nation, not by ignorant yahoos but by big corporations. Specifically, language virtually identical to Florida’s law is featured in a template supplied to legislators in other states by the American Legislative Exchange Council, a corporate-backed organization that has managed to keep a low profile even as it exerts vast influence (only recently, thanks to yeoman work by the Center for Media and Democracy, has a clear picture of ALEC’s activities emerged). And if there is any silver lining to Trayvon Martin’s killing, it is that it might finally place a spotlight on what ALEC is doing to our society — and our democracy. What is ALEC? Despite claims that it’s nonpartisan, it’s very much a movement-conservative organization, funded by the usual suspects: the Kochs, Exxon Mobil, and so on. Unlike other such groups, however, it doesn’t just influence laws, it literally writes them, supplying fully drafted bills to state legislators. In Virginia, for example, more than 50 ALEC-written bills have been introduced, many almost word for word. And these bills often become law. Many ALEC-drafted bills pursue standard conservative goals: union-busting, undermining environmental protection, tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy. ALEC seems, however, to have a special interest in privatization — that is, on turning the provision of public services, from schools to prisons, over to for-profit corporations. And some of the most prominent beneficiaries of privatization, such as the online education company K12 Inc. and the prison operator Corrections Corporation of America, are, not surprisingly, very much involved with the organization. What this tells us, in turn, is that ALEC’s claim to stand for limited government and free markets is deeply misleading. To a large extent the organization seeks not limited government but privatized government, in which corporations get their profits from taxpayer dollars, dollars steered their way by friendly politicians. In short, ALEC isn’t so much about promoting free markets as it is about expanding crony capitalism. And in case you were wondering, no, the
kind of privatization ALEC promotes isn’t in the public interest; instead of success stories, what we’re getting is a series of scandals. Private charter schools, for example, appear to deliver a lot of profits but little in the way of educational achievement. But where does the encouragement of vigilante (in)justice fit into this picture? In part it’s the same old story — the long-standing exploitation of public fears, especially those associated with racial tension, to promote a pro-corporate, pro-wealthy agenda. It’s neither an accident nor a surprise that the National Rifle Association and ALEC have been close allies all along. And ALEC, even more than other movement-conservative organizations, is clearly playing a long game. Its legislative templates aren’t just about generating immediate benefits to the organization’s corporate sponsors; they’re about creating a political climate that will favor even more corporation-friendly legislation in the future. Did I mention that ALEC has played a key role in promoting bills that make it hard for the poor and ethnic minorities to vote? Yet that’s not all; you have to think about the interests of the penal-industrial complex — prison operators, bail-bond companies and more. (The American Bail Coalition has publicly described ALEC as its “life preserver.”) This complex has a financial stake in anything that sends more people into the courts and the prisons, whether it’s exaggerated fear of racial minorities or Arizona’s draconian immigration law, a law that followed an ALEC template almost verbatim. Think about that: we seem to be turning into a country where crony capitalism doesn’t just waste taxpayer money but warps criminal justice, in which growing incarceration reflects not the need to protect law-abiding citizens but the profits corporations can reap from a larger prison population. Now, ALEC isn’t single-handedly responsible for the corporatization of our political life; its influence is as much a symptom as a cause. But shining a light on ALEC and its supporters — a roster that includes many companies, from AT&T and Coca-Cola to UPS, that have so far managed to avoid being publicly associated with the hardright agenda — is one good way to highlight what’s going on. And that kind of knowledge is what we need to start taking our country back.

the snow when it is often more plentiful. “Spring skiing is great corn snow,” said Joosen, “but if you can come up earlier when there’s better coverage and cold snow, that’s what we’re seeing people do. Snow cover is not ultimately what it used to be in late season.” “If I had a clicker for the entire winter,” added Joosen, “I think what we would see is that the numbers aren’t declining, the numbers are spread out more into March and earlier in the winter. It used to be midweek in winter, nobody was up here — that’s changed.” “It’s all weather-dependent, of course,” he added, “as a beautiful day is a beautiful day in terms of people coming up. But,” said Joosen, “the May traffic is no where what it used to be — Victoria Day is still busy, sure, and so is the Queen’s holiday and Memorial Day. But where it was once 2,500 on a busy weekend, it’s half of that now.” Budgetary challenges Because of the constraints that all federal agencies are facing, the forest service is relying on several volunteer organizations to assist it in its snow ranger duties. “The forest service,” said Joosen, “like many agencies, is dealing with our national deficit problems so budgets are declining. The snow ranger program is one of many White Mountain National Forest programs that are trying to do more with less.” He cited such helpful volunteer groups as the Mount Washington Volunteer Ski Patrol, the Mountain Rescue Service, the Friends of the Mount Washington Avalanche Center, the New Hampshire Outdoor Council, Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue and Friends of Tuckerman Ravine, the latter of which is presenting its annual Tuckerman Inferno and Wildcat Wildfire Pentathlons April 21. (According to Friends of Tuckerman Ravine officials interviewed Friday, there ought to still be enough snow on Left Gully or Hillman’s Highway to hold the ski leg of the five-part Inferno when it’s held April 21 — although, they cautioned, depending on conditions, the course may have to be somewhat shortened).

is also a key player when it comes to trail maintenance, education and rescues, as is N.H. Fish and Game with rescues. Stonehearth Open Learning Opportunities (SOLO) also often assists with rescues. “The big message is there is no way that the snow rangers could do it alone,” said Joosen. “We are looking for more and more partnership opportunities to keep the program levels and to continue to be able to give the public a high standard.” Educating the public on safety is just as important a role for the snow rangers as rescue, Joosen said. He said the public seems to be getting the message. “A big part for us,” he said, “is to go out and try to provide information so that they know ahead of time. One thing I like to point out,” he added, “is that when we have days of thousands in the ravine with these steep terrain issues and no one gets hurt — that the ski patrol has nothing to do that day — I think that says a lot. Compare that to a lift-serviced area. I think that’s pretty amazing.” He asserts that although skill levels and equipment have increased, there are still hazards that no skier has any control over. “People tend to be more precautionary,” he said, “and skill levels are higher, I feel. But there are all the things you can control, and then there are all the hazards.” He says that he and his fellow snow rangers (Jeff Lane, Joe Klementovich and Frank Caruss) have followed in the footsteps of such predecessors as now retired veteran snow rangers as Rene LaRoche and Brad Ray. As it was for the colorful LaRoche and Ray, who co-founded Friends of Tuckerman with Al Risch, the job is still about enjoying being up there on the mountain in all of its fickle and wild wintry ways — and helping people. “I love being in the mountains, and I love seeing people enjoy the things that I care about,” said Joosen. “We try to explain the hazards and the risks so they can have a great day. At the end of the day,” said Joosen, a friendly public servant well-known for his affable avalanche sidekick rescue dog Cutler, “it’s about seeing people down in the parking lot after a day of skiing, getting safely back into their cars with smiles on their faces. That’s rewarding for me.” If you have a ‘creative type’ in your house encourage them to look into DI at school next year and audition! Congratulations to all of the teams. Good luck to the High School team on the next level f competition! Amy Welch Team Manager ers like you who only voice their opinions as long as John Boner and Mitch McConnell say its OK.

additional land locked up in federal ownership. Asked to respond to the petition, Casey said management of the refuge is governed by a Comprehensive Conservation Plan developed in 2009 after six years of planning and 12,000 public comments. He said the plan is published and available for the public to review. That plan calls for expanding the refuge by 47,807 acres through a combination of conservation easements and outright purchase. Casey said all property is purchased on a willing seller basis. He said the Forest Society was a willing seller and wanted to use the money from the sale of Big Island for other conservation acquisitions. Casey noted the plan allows for snowmobiling on designated trails as well as dogsledding, horseback riding, bicycling, and collecting of berries, fiddleheads, mushrooms, and antlers. Timber harvesting is part of the plan although Casey said much of the land had been cut hard before the refuge purchased it and will take about 15 years to regenerate. As a manager, Casey said he tries to allow the maximum use possible of the refuge. He agreed that the refuge pays the town of Errol about half what it would normally receive in property taxes. He said the town received $13,690 in revenue sharing funds from the refuge compared to the $26,000 it would have received in property taxes. But Casey argues the refuge makes up for the reduced revenues in the economic activity it generates for the town. He said the Fish and Wildlife Services estimates the refuge attracts 65,000 visitors annually. Casey said he does not believe a citizen’s advisory committee would work because the refuge is federal and most respond to a broader constituency. He said, however, he is always willing to meet with local people and groups. “My office is always open. I’m more than happy to hear what they have to say,” he said. The project most threatened by the call for a moratorium on federal land purchases is the Androscoggin Headwaters Project. The multiphase project is working to protect over 31,000 acres in the headwaters of the Androscoggin River through a combination of conservation easements and land purchases. Three phases of the project are completed. But still remaining is the addition of 4,532 acres in Cambridge to the Umbagog refuge and the purchase of 938 acres in Wentworth’s Location containing Greenough Pond and Little Greenough Pond for N.H. Fish and Game.

island on the southern end of the lake was owned by the Society for the Protection of N.H. Forests and thus already protected from development. Lord said there was no need to spend taxpayers’ money to buy Big Island. Lord said the refuge has grown far beyond the original concept of protecting the lake, with the latest plan calling for expanding it to a total of almost 70,000 acres in New Hampshire and Maine. In his petition, he states the town of Errol is losing tax revenue because of the refuge and local property owners are bearing the burden. Lord questioned refuge manager Paul Casey’s commitment to snowmobiling on refuge lands and charges Casey is not responsive to the concerns of local residents. He said the refuge is buying up property and forcing out local camp owners who can not compete with the financial resources of the refuge. “Their goal is to wipe out Wentworth’s Location and Errol.. Something has to be done to stop them,” Lord said, of the refuge. Lord said he met with representatives of U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen last week and described the meeting as cordial but unproductive. He said her staff offered to support a county forest. Burton and Gallus committed to sending the petition to the state’s Congressional delegation along with a letter inviting the U.S. Senators and Congressmen to attend a public meeting on the refuge in Errol tentatively set for Saturday, June 23. The letter will be sent as well to Maine Senator Snowe who Lord said has shown an interest in refuge issues. A copy of the letter will go to Gov. John Lynch and DRED Commissioner George Bald. The two local officials also called for establishing an Umbagog Refuge Citizens Advisory Committee similar to the advisory committee for Nash Stream State Park. Burton said he would recommend the committee include a county commissioner, a local legislator, a member of the Errol board of selectman, and a representative of the Society for the Protection of N.H. Forest. Finally, Gallus and Burton endorsed the June 15, 2011 letter from the Coos County Commissioners to the congressional delegation, asking for a four year moratorium on any federal land purchases in the county’s unincorporated places. The letter argues the county needs time to recover from the current economic downturn. While shaping the future economy of the region, the commissioners said they did not want to see

Are you serving safe food to your customers? LANCASTER -- Sprouts, ground turkey, milk, and vegetables. These are a few of the foods making headlines recently in relation to foodborne illnesses. Media reports on food borne illness outbreaks warn all of us of the potential dangers to eating unsafe food. Have you or your customers ever gotten sick from eating food served at your establishment? Does your staff know the basic rules of food safety? When did your staff receive their last food safety training? One way to reduce the risk of food borne illness is to make sure each of your staff understand the rules of food safety and why those rules are important. Do your staff wash their hands throughout the day? Are food thermometers calibrated regularly? Does your staff cook food to the correct temperatures following Food and Drug Administration and state of New Hampshire guidelines? UNH Cooperative Extension Educators have been teaching the SERVSAFE® food safety class
s t Gif ficate ti Cer
throughout New Hampshire for more than a decade. More than a thousand food service workers have been certified and are knowledgeable about food safety basics. Does the restaurant you own have food safety certified staff, and do you market your establishment as a place that values and serves safe food? A one-day SERVSAFE® class will be held on May 3, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the UNH Cooperative Extension Office based at the North Country Resource Center in Lancaster. The class will be led by Deb Maes, a SERVSAFE® certified instructor. The topics of the day will cover the three main causes for unsafe food: poor personal hygiene, failure to follow established time and temperature guidelines and preventing cross contamination. Pre-registration is necessary. For more information or to register, contact Deb Maes at the UNH Cooperative Extension Office, Grafton County at (603) 787-6944 or by email deborah.maes@unh.edu

ENFORCEMENT from page one
Just two weeks ago, Cyr had asked the selectmen to look at possibly revising the ordinance to include only the nighttime hours. That would address bothersome noise, while still addressing truck driver concerns about safety on busy daytime roads, he told the town fathers. As a result of that conversation, the ordinance was on last night’s agenda of the board of selectmen as well. For now, however, Cyr said the police are responsible for working with what they have. “The ordinance is the ordinance,” he explained, unless or until it is changed. Cyr explained that he met recently with Town Manager Robin Frost and business owner Ron Dagesse regarding enforcement. He said Dagesse wanted more police action citing that the town had adopted the ordinance and it should be enforced.
Cyr said that he does believe ordinance has resulted in the reduction of use of the engine brakes, but has noticed an uptick in truck noise himself recently. This and Dagesse’s comments have led to the creation of this new enforcement plan, he explained. He did add that he still believes it is worthwhile for the selectmen to further research the safety concerns brought up by truck drivers as they evaluate whether or not to make any changes to the ordinance. He also advocated gathering more information from experts. Cyr said, the ordinance does allow the use of engine brakes in the event of an emergency and discretion will be used with trucks using the emergency brake when traveling down Gorham Hill. Any violation of the ordinance will carry a fine of $100 for the first violation with the fi ne doubling for any subsequent violation.

By Holiday Mathis giveness. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s a complex world, and it takes a complex mind like yours to navigate it well. At the end of the day, you may feel exhausted by your own complications. Nonetheless, count them as the gifts they are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You keep after your desire because it burns in you. Tenacity is more than a talent or quality; it’s a habit. It may be the very habit that helps you go down in history. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Ever practical, you will get on with the business of loving your family and friends in a way they can see, touch and count on. You believe your works prove the sincerity and depth of your feelings. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). To anyone trying to break into a new business, the business world can be hard and uninviting, an endless series of closed clubs. Your cheerful demeanor helps to melt the first line of defense. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Big change can happen when you start small. You’ll make new agreements, especially with yourself. The key to keeping them is to make them extremely pleasurable and easily achieved. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 27). Your year opens with a touch of glamour as you improve your personal environment. The next six weeks feature a change in your social lineup. You’ll make new friends, and people from the past return with fresh, exciting energy. June features love and laughter and travel. Family events are featured in August. Taurus and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 2, 14, 39 and 30.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Learning isn’t always as smooth of a process as it is for you right now. Enjoy this stretch of ease. It will be as though you are listening to the sweet intonations of a soothing chorus of wisdom and ancient experience. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your freedom is becoming increasingly important to you. You’d rather try for a weird, far-out dream than risk feeling claustrophobically wrapped in a security blanket. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Partnering with someone who sees you differently will change the way you see yourself. You’re skilled in a way you hadn’t realized, and with a little more work, this skill will be viable. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll shift from mood to mood rather quickly. You could blame it on your connection with the moon, your guiding luminary, and her romantic, mad, poetic influence. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your ambitions may be practical, but they are fueled by a childlike idealism that has been a part of who you are since birth. Knowing what’s at the root of your motivation will add gusto to your efforts. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your personal effort will be the ingredient that brings about a quality experience for someone else. You can’t help but take that responsibility seriously. This is one of the reasons you’re so popular now. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Someone who has wronged you will endeavor to make things right. This person may not succeed in this effort, at least not by your standards, but you consider the effort sincere and may be moved to for-

For Rent by Abigail Van Buren
GOOD TREATMENT IS AVAILABLE FOR TEEN WHO’S BREAKING BAD
DEAR ABBY: “Fed-Up Father in Minnesota” (Jan. 20) caught his difficult 16-year-old daughter smoking pot and is considering sending her to a place for “troubled teens.” We sent our son to such a program on the advice of an education consultant, and he almost didn’t make it back alive. An untreated mental illness had been misdiagnosed as a behavioral problem, and his illness went from bad to worse. You gave the right advice. Get an evaluation from a reputable clinic or mental health professional, then look for options as close to home as possible. Adolescence is not forever. Parents need to hang on and not be lured into thinking there’s a magical solution. -- ANN IN CHAPEL HILL, N.C. DEAR ANN: I advised “Fed-Up” to have a psychologist identify what’s troubling his daughter, and that sending her away should be only a last resort. Readers were eager to comment: DEAR ABBY: “Fed-Up” should consider an intervention like the Scared Straight program. Teens are shown where their bad behavior leads, tour a prison and see inmates serving time for similar conduct. The inmates also share their stories in an effort to turn the teens’ lives around. Sometimes a rude awakening is the answer for a young person traveling down the wrong path. -- BRITTANY IN THE SOUTH DEAR ABBY: I was sent to boarding school because I was acting out and probably on my way to bigger troubles. While there, I was exposed to more than I’d ever been at home. There were poorly supervised kids engaged in sexual activity, every recreational drug imaginable and free-flowing alcohol. I survived, but had the good sense to tell my parents and didn’t return for a second year. What worked for me was attentive parents and a good therapist who provided me a safe, constructive way to sort out my issues. -- BOARDING SCHOOL SURVIVOR DEAR ABBY: “Fed-Up” said the problem with his daugh-
ter started when he married his second wife. There are obviously issues between his wife and daughter that need resolving. Shipping the girl off won’t fix them. My stepfather was abusive to me and my brother, but our busy working mom didn’t believe us. My brother began having behavioral problems at school and at home, so Mom gave in to our stepfather’s suggestion to send him to military school in another state. My brother never forgave Mom for it. He left home at 17, and they have been estranged for 33 years. It is my mother’s biggest single regret. -- MARY KATE IN ILLINOIS DEAR ABBY: I work for a non-profit child-care organization that provides community-based services to families struggling with this situation. We tailor services to meet the specific needs of a family in their home environment, providing interventions without the disruption of out-of-home placement. Professional staff assess the case and develop a plan to resolve the issues, taking into account the family dynamic and home/school environment. This kind of family mentorship is a step in the right direction to restore relationships. -- BELINDA P., AMARILLO, TEXAS DEAR ABBY: On the advice of a therapist, we enlisted the help of an education consultant and sent our 15-year-old son away for 21 months of psychological treatment for troubled teens. It saved his life and made us a family again. The consultant can steer the family to a reputable program that “fits.” It can be an overwhelming decision, but the consultant’s help was invaluable. Don’t wait too long, “Fed-Up” -- once your daughter is 18, many of the options disappear. The process isn’t cheap, but what’s the cost of a life? Our son is 17 now, sober, respectful and looking forward to his future. -- GLAD WE DID IT IN CALIFORNIA

On Wednesday, February 29, 2012, Kayleigh Eastman and Megan Guitard gave a presentation on bullying, self-image, and self-esteem. They presented this to sixth, seventh, and eighth grade physical education classes at Berlin Junior High School. This was a part of their state competition for Berlin High School FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America). Their purpose was to get the message across about how destructive bullying can be. They also wanted to inform the students how they could boost their self-esteem, and make their self-image more positive. They found 49 percent of eighth graders said they sometimes believe their life would be better if they were more attractive. Fifty percent of seventh graders and 45 percent of sixth graders said the same. “Why compare yourself with others, nobody can do a better job of being you, than you.”

BERLIN -- Recognizing that the need for donations is greater than ever at local food banks across the nation, Curves is kicking off the 2012 Curves Food Drive with the challenge to meet or exceed last year’s donations. Curves of Berlin is asking its members to donate bags of non-perishable food throughout the month of March to support their local community food bank In addition, Curves of Berlin will waive the joining fee for new members who bring a bag of nonperishable food. “Curves of Berlin is committed to supporting the health and well-being of our members, so the food drive is a natural extension of that commitment to the whole community,” said a
Curves of Berlin staff member. “Many families are struggling with basic expenses and need some help to make ends meet. Our food drive gives members a way to reach out and support their neighbors.” With a theme of “good for your body and your soul,” this year’s drive encourages Curves members to feel doubly good about themselves as they make time to exercise for good health and take time to help others in the community with a donation of nutritious food. For more information about Curves of Berlin, located at 112 Pleasant St., and the 2012 Curves Food Drive, contact a Curves of Berlin staff member at 603 752 9200.
