Gorham man recovering Dick Lamontage from gunshot wound resumes selectman seat

BY CRAIG LYONS THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM— A Gorham man is still being treated for injuries he suffered after police say he was shot when a gun accidentally fired.

Police Chief P.J. Cyr said David Gray, 22, of Gorham, suffered a self-inflicted chest wound early Saturday morning after a 9 mm Glock semi-automatic pistol accidentally discharged. Cyr said Gray is still at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center being treated, but was unsure of his status.

At this time, Cyr said the incident is still under investigation and he plans to ask the county attorney to review to

case to see if any criminal charges will be pursued.

Alcohol appears to be a factor in the incident, Cyr said.

The incident occurred when Gray was allegedly showing the gun to guests at a house party, said Cyr. Witness reports say that Gray was seated on a couch when the gun misfired, said Cyr. Police received an ambulance call around 2:20 a.m. requesting an ambulance at 4 Androscoggin St. after Gray reportedly shot himself. He was transported the Androscoggin Valley Hospital before being airlifted to Dartmouth.

MILAN—Milan’s favorite selectman has returned to the board.

On Monday, the board of selectmen selected Dick Lamontagne to complete the unexpired term of Mickey Miller who had to resign because he moved to Groveton.

“The only requirement for selectman in New Hampshire,” said Selectman George Pozzuto with some bemusement, “is that you need to be resident of the town.”

So, when Miller moved, the board of selectmen had to advertise for a replacement.

“I wasn’t going to apply,” said Lamontagne, “but people started calling me and I finally gave in.”

Like everyone else who applied, Lamontagne had to do an interview and answer the big questions, one of which was “Would he run for selectman in the 2012 election?”

“Yes,” said Lamontagne, now 73.

“When I retired in 2008 after 15 years in the office, I thought, ‘This is it.’ I needed a rest. Then this opening occurred. . . . I enjoyed it when I was in office” and, he added, although he has stayed busy and fit in his three years out of office and working hard … among other things, keeping his incredibly steep 152 foot driveway

cleared of snow … “I needed something to occupy my mind.”

Actually he has stayed in touch with Milan town governance for the past three years.

“One of the reasons we selected him,” said Pozzuto, “is that we were calling him up all the time to ask questions anyway.”

“I told them they could call any time,” says Lamontagne, who is pleased to be back in the saddle.

“The people are great. I enjoy all the boards I’ve been on,” he said. see LAMONTAGNE page 5

BERLIN— Faculty and staff in the Berlin schools shouldn’t expect any pink slips this year since the Berlin Board of Education voted Thursday night against issuing any.

“We’ll do what we have to do to maintain integrity in the classroom,” said board Chair Nicole Plourde.

The board voted unanimously not to issue pink slips to any teachers this year at the end of its meeting.

The board has told the City Council that any further staff reductions would inhibit the school system’s ability to maintain its programming.

“The board has remained committed to not issuing any pink slips,”

said Plourde.

Rather than facing any further layoffs the school department is looking at reducing operations and facility costs, said Plourde.

The council is currently reviewing the board’s proposed $16,684,988 budget for 2011- 2012. The budget approved by the council for 20102011 was $15,775,097.

The council is also reviewing a proposed agreement with the Berlin Education Association that could save the city some money. The school board declined to discuss any specifics on the proposed agreement since it’s still under review.

Study: HIV patients can accept infected organs

(NY Times) — David Aldridge of Los Angeles had a kidney transplant in 2006, but he will soon need another.

Like many people living with HIV, he suffers from kidney damage, either from the virus or from the life-saving medications that keep it at bay.

Until recently, such patients did not receive transplants at all because doctors worried that their health was too compromised. Now they can get transplants, but organdonor waiting lists are long.

And for Mr. Aldridge, 45, and other HIV patients, a potential source of kidneys and livers is off limits, because it is illegal to transplant organs from donors who test positive for the virus — even to others who test positive. But federal health officials and other experts are calling for repeal of the provision that bans such transplants, a 23-year-old amendment to the National Organ Transplant Act. “The clock is ticking more quickly for those who are HIV-positive,” said Dr. Dorry Segev, transplant surgery director of clinical research at Johns Hopkins and a co-author of a new study indicating that 500 to 600 HIV-infected livers and kidneys would become available each year if the law were changed.

SAYWHAT...

“

I went to the doctor and he said I had acute appendicitis, and I said compared to who?”

1,532 U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan.

Pakistan tells U.S. it must sharply cut CIA activities

Appeals court rules against Arizona law

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (NY Times) — Pakistan has demanded that the United States steeply reduce the number of Central Intelligence Agency operatives and Special Operations forces working in Pakistan, and that it put on hold C.I.A. drone strikes aimed at militants in northwest Pakistan, a sign of the near collapse of cooperation between the two testy allies.

The demand that the United States scale back its presence is the immediate fallout of the arrest in Pakistan of Raymond A. Davis, a C.I.A. security officer who killed two men in broad daylight during a mugging in January, Pakistani and American officials said in interviews.

In all, about 335 American personnel — C.I.A. officers and contractors and Special

Operations forces — were being asked to leave the country, said a Pakistani official closely involved in the decision.

The cuts threatened to badly hamper American efforts — either through drone strikes or Pakistani military training — to combat militants who use Pakistan as a base to fight American forces in Afghanistan and plot terrorist attacks abroad.

Former leader of Ivory Coast captured ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (NY Times) — The strongman of Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo, was captured on Monday after a week-long siege of his residence and placed under the control of his rival claimant to power, according to French and United Nations officials.

Troops loyal to Alassane Ouattara, the internationally recognized winner of Ivory Coast’s presidential election last year, had pressed toward the residence where Mr. Gbagbo had been holed up for days. According to French officials, Mr. Gbagbo surrendered at the entrance to

the residence, while four French Gazelle helicopters swirled around the area.

“It is my pleasure to announce officially that the former president of Cote d’Ivoire, Laurent Gbagbo, has been arrested,” said Youssoufou Bamba, Mr. Ouattara’s representative to the United Nations. “He is alive and he will be brought to justice to respond to the crimes he committed. In this way, the Cote d’Ivoire reaches the end of its tragedy, of its nightmare.

“His era is over,” Mr. Bamba added, saying Mr. Gbagbo was now “under our custody.”

PHOENIX (NY Times) — The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the state of Arizona on Monday and let stand a lower court decision blocking the most contentious parts of the state’s immigration law from going into effect.

The decision calling the provisions unconstitutional was a victory for the Obama administration, which sued to challenge the law, known as Senate Bill 1070, because it interfered with the federal government’s authority over immigration.

Last July, just days before the law was set to take effect, U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton issued an injunction blocking parts of it.

Gov. Jan Brewer, a supporter of the crackdown, had filed an appeal seeking to have the injunction lifted.

After the appeals court rejected the state’s request on Monday and issued a lengthy decision indicating it believed the state had overstepped its authority, State Senator Russell Pearce, the principal sponsor of the law, remained defiant, saying the issue would ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court.

Main Street program breathing new life in downtowns across state

BY NANCY BEAN FOSTER THE UNION LEADER

Keeping downtown areas vibrant and making them attractive centers of commerce and community are the goals behind Main Street programs. Towns across the state will celebrate their success on Tuesday, Main Street Day. The Main Street program, administered by the National Trust, began in New Hampshire in 1997 with the communities of Littleton and Milford, which had already begun efforts to revitalize their downtowns. The program has spread to Concord, Dover, Goffstown, Jaffrey, Lisbon, Meredith, Ossipee, Rochester and Wilton.

In Milford, according to Tracy Bardsley, director of the town’s Main Street program, the downtown area was falling victim to neglect. The town hall had been condemned by the fire marshal, shops were shuttered, and businesses had simply vanished.

Once on the verge of being condemned, the Milford Town Hall is a centerpiece of a downtown that has seen marked improvement because of the Main Street program.

In 1992, a group of citizens decided that the Milford Oval was too precious to lose and concerted efforts began to breathe new life into downtown. The Milford Downtown Ongoing Improvement Team (DO-IT) was formed.

In 1998, it was recognized by the National Trust as a New Hampshire Main Street Community by establishing a board of directors and committees to carry out plans, and by raising funds to support the program, among other requirements.

The town agreed to adopt the National Trust’s four-point plan to restore the downtown area. That included economic restructuring, organization, design and promotion.

“The idea behind making the downtown as attractive as possible is really simple — people and businesses want to be in a location that is attractive, safe, pedestrian-friendly,” said Bardsley. “It spurs economic development because

commercial and industrial interests want to locate in that environment, real estate values increase or maintain their appreciation, and the town becomes a destination for visitors for unique retail shops and dining.”

In Main Street towns, the organization works with businesses and municipal governments to restore buildings, signs and lighting, design and seek funding for sidewalks and underground utilities, bridge repairs, parks and other aesthetic improvements.

The money to run the organization comes from both municipal governments and donations from businesses, organizations and individuals, said Robbie Grady, director of the Goffstown Main Street Association. Grants are sought to make improvements, both large and small, in the communities.

But while some businesses are flourishing thanks to the help of their Main Street programs; others are struggling.

In Wilton, for instance, the new sidewalks and pocket park haven’t resulted in a flood of new customers, said Marie Fortier, owner of the Here Today Emporium.

“We’re still struggling to get people to come in,” she said. “I was so gung ho when the Main Street program started, but now I’m not sure it really works.”

The Route 101 bypass has led to a quiet Main Street and struggling businesses, Fortier said.

But Richard Putnam, Fortier’s neighbor on Main Street, said the concept of the Main Street program is great. What’s lacking, he said, is volunteers to make the program work.

In Goffstown, Steve Pascucci owner of the Village Trestle restaurant and bar, echoed Putnam’s sentiments.

“The businesses aren’t working together,” said Pascucci. “There’s not a whole lot of participation. We need to come together as a Main Street unit.”

On Tuesday, the towns that participate in the Main Street program will share their methodology for community revitalization during a daylong conference, evening showcase and reception at the Red River Theatre in Concord.

Heads up to all New Hampshire workers To the editor: Right to Work legislation being pushed in several states, including New Hampshire, isn’t what its proponents claim it to be.

Contrary to the very term it does not guarantee anyone a job. The correct name for the legislation should be Right to a Free Ride. It enables workers benefiting from union contracts to shirk paying their fair share of the cost and laying it on the back of their co workers.

In the private sector, unions are required to represent all workers in the workplace, both dues payers and non dues payers. Does this seem fair, some people claim they should have the right to decide if they want to pay dues? Where is the Unions’ right not to represent them?

The union is compelled to represent them by law.

One of the talking points in support of right to work says this would level the playing field for employers?

When the federal government passed the National

Labor Relations Act giving workers the right to organize it recognized that a single employee was helpless in dealing with an employer; that he was dependent on for his daily wage for the maintenance of himself and family.

It has also been stated that with right to work in place in New Hampshire, jobs would be created. Of the current 22 right to work states only one has a lower unemployment rate that New Hampshire, that is North Dakota.

Also its claimed business would be attracted to New Hampshire because labor cost would be lower. I can only assume that’s because in right to work states workers earn less money. If lower wages are the determining factor, then most employers would simply go overseas.

Right to work is not good for New Hampshire or for workers. It’s simply code for work for less and a lower quality of life.

Sandy Tessier Dummer

I agree with Representative Marc Tremblay To the editor: In reply to Dona Larsen’s letter blasting Rep. Marc Tremblay’s vote on the state budget, I say good for you, Marc, you voted to stop spending money the state doesn’t have! Forced Unionism has no place in a

free society and the “right to work” state prove it.

The mobs that filled state houses across the country showed that public worker’s unions are out of control.

Through hikers

My memory does not preserve a time when I didn’t know about the Presidential Range of the White Mountains; the Appalachian Trail runs the length of it, and it must be traversed by all through hikers, those hardened, driven people making the long walk from Georgia to Maine along the spine of the Appalachian Mountains, 2,181 miles of woods and rocks, heat and cold, rain and snow, bugs and snakes, hostile dogs and unpredictable wild animals, and all the other hazards of life in modern America.

The launching spirit behind the AT was Benton MacKaye in 1921. He first came to the White Mountains in 1897 and he became a Washington bureaucrat, but one of an unusual stripe, as one writer put it, “A nineteenth-century New England reformer who strayed into the Jazz Age, whose politician radicalism partook of preMarxist utopian socialism, but bucolic and spiritual, rather than the urban, gritty proletarianism of this century.” Just the person to promote a footpath through the wilderness of America. We knew it was there, but it was like a half-remembered story and hiking the whole length of it in one stretch apparently hadn’t occurred to Mr. MacKaye.

It did occur to some people. Three tried and gave up before World War Two, and that made sense. The feat was so improbable, so close to the outer edge of human possibility, that it seemed unlikely that anyone would ever do it. Who could do it?

Who would want to?

Then we heard that someone made it all the way. I was working for the Appalachian Mountain Club at Madison Hut on the Presidential Range and a man stopped with us and then passed on without notice, but he said a few things about a plan he had. Later on, I wondered if he was the one who did it. Then, as human nature seems to dictate, records were kept and heroes emerged. Someone made the trip northbound, turned around at Katahdin and hiked back to Georgia, turned around again and hiked back to Katahdin. Children made the long hike, a blind person made it, and another did it barefoot. Then it became competitive and two enthusiasts raced it, one took 52 days, nine hours, and 41 minutes for an average of 40 miles a day. His rival took 56 days. Then Andrew Thompson took 47 days, 13 hours, and 31 minutes, and I thought that mark would soon be surpassed. Maybe it already has been.

Numbers have never appealed to me, I just go hiking when the day seems right for it, and one fall day I was having lunch on the ledges of Mount Webster and admiring the dizzying drop into Crawford Notch at my feet and those hundreds of square miles of brilliant foliage spread beyond that, it’s something even we jaded locals see every year as if for the first time. Then there was a small sound in the woods behind me. It was a young woman, and after she’d settled herself I asked where she’d started. Up from the Crawford Notch road? “No,” she said, “further.” From Franconia Notch through the Pemigewasset Wilderness? “No,” she said, “further. I started in Georgia.”

We talked for a while and then she said, “I guess I wasn’t a regular girl. When I was in high school, I wondered what it would be like to spend a summer living by my wits on a desert island.” She wasn’t thinking of some sybaritic idyll in the South Pacific where food would fall unbidden from the trees. She had herself dropped off on an uninhabited island on the Arctic Circle, then she walked out onto the tundra, sat down, and began to collect supper from the plants around her.

The next school year she began to think about parachute jumping, so after graduation she enlisted in the Canadian Air Force and earned her jumping wings. She was assigned as an instructor at the survival training base in the Canadian Rockies where her duties included pushing military men through the most uninviting terrain she could find. Then she heard about the Appalachian Trail.

She went to her commanding officer and asked if she could change her leave schedule. Instead of taking the usual time off each year, she’d like to save it up until she had five or six months accrued, then take it all at once. The commander asked if there was a specific reason and she told him about the Appalachian Trail. He said he’d think about it, then at supper he came over to her table and said that she could make the long hike and it wouldn’t be leave time, he’d count it as part of her training because it would make her more valuable to him in her military duties.

She was a remarkably small person and she was so clean and her clothes were so fresh that she might have been out walking on a golf course. “The physical part isn’t difficult,” she said, “but you have to keep your mind in shape. The dangerous part is waking up in the morning and having this image of the planet with a long line drawn up the edge of North America and you’re at the beginning of it. You have to find other things to think about. But by the time I finished South Carolina I’d used up every thought I’d ever had, and I’d barely started.”

Another through-hiking woman was at the AMC hut in Carter Notch. She was northbound and I asked what she was going to do when she finished at Katahdin. “I’m not sure,” she said, “maybe I’ll just turn around and go back to Georgia.

I mean, it takes about five hundred miles to figure out what you’re doing, to get your equipment and your food and your head right. When you learn a foreign language, you don’t stop talking that language as soon as you finish school, do you? So yes, I think I’ll probably turn around and go back.”

I met two other through-hikers on the Mahoosuc Range that spans the border between Maine and New Hampshire, a section of trail that many hikers consider the toughest terrain on the AT. These two men were distinctly elderly and one of them said that they’d been hiking together for more than forty years. The other one said, with a note of unmistakable sadness in his voice, “Yes, and this is probably the last thing we’ll ever do together.”

Last year this was a new event for the park, and it was a huge success. Organizers expect a similar turnout again this year with tons of fun and activities. Children (grades K-8) will have lots of excitement as they learn about our planet and be educated about ways they can make a positive impact on our environment.

The day will begin at 8 a.m. and end at 4 p.m. Children must bring a bag lunch each day. Snack and beverages will be provided. There is a $50 fee for the five days or $10 per day (half price discount for multiple family members).

Activities include, but are not limited to: egg carton critters, recycled murals, terrarium, Great Garbage

Challenge, coloring and/or poster contest, nature walk, and so much more. TCCAP has invited the Arts Alliance of Northern NH to participate for one or two days, bringing authentic children’s programming.

This is always one of the highlights for the campers (parents and workers, too)!

A closing program will be on the 22nd, as they celebrate “Earth Day” with cake to be enjoyed by the children, parents, and family members.

Children will also be presented with certificates and a complimentary boat tour pass to be used during the Cultural Festival (free admission event) on June 4, also at Northern Forest Heritage Park.

He’s not sure which of the boards he will be on this time, as a representative of the selectmen’s board, but he speculates it might be the board of the Androscoggin Valley Regional Refuse Disposal District and the planning board, which were the boards that Miller attended.

As for his view of Milan’s current issues, Lamontagne says he is worried about the state of the economy and the threat of closing the Berlin Correctional Facility because a number of Milan residents work there.

He believes in promoting Milan’s interests and has faith that positive action works. He points to his campaign with others to have the state redraw its analysis of the Milan flood plane. The state was persuaded to take another look so that the question of who should or should not pay flood plane insurance could be resolved more fairly, he said.

Lamontagne believes in helping fellow Milan residents. Among other things, he has alerted homeowners who are retired now and dependent on Social Security to a provision in the New Hampshire Department of RevPINK SLIPS from page one

to send a request to the N.H. Department of Education for a snow day waiver.

Superintendent Corinne Cascadden said the waiver would cover one of the two snow days the schools took this past winter.

If the district gets the waiver, Cascadden said it wouldn’t impact graduation.

He points out that the rebates may not be large, but for someone who depends on Social Security for income, a small rebate is better than none.

How did he find out about the provision in the state’s tax code?

A press release came into the Milan Town Office when Lamontagne was in office, Lamontagne saw it and has done his best to alert the affected population to the benefit, he said.

Lamontagne said as a selectman he was always available to Milan residents, to answer questions, if he could.

If he couldn’t, he would do his best to research an answer. He intends to continue to be the responsible selectman he was in his former years in office, he said.

He and his wife, Rita, live in a pleasant home on Cedar Pond. They walk the two mile Cedar Pond circuit road just about every day.

Board member Martha Laflamme said she felt there should be better planning so this wouldn’t be a concern. She added maybe the school should build in more than one snow day so it’s not put in the position to ask for a waiver.

“I don’t even like asking for waivers,” said Laflamme.

Understanding bullying: New information for parents LANCASTER -- According to Dr. Malcolm Smith, UNH Cooperative Extension family life and policy specialist, “Many years of research have shown that bullying in our schools and in our society is a much more damaging and dangerous experience for children than we ever suspected.

Unfortunately, it’s also much more widespread and is occurring at an earlier age than ever before. We’ve also learned that bullying has many serious consequences for the children who are bullied, for the bullies themselves, and for the bystanders who witness it.”

Sue Buteau, extension educator for UNH Cooperative Extension in Coös County, will be sharing the results of Dr. Smith’s research on Monday evening, April 11, at the North Country Resource Center, 629A Main Street in Lancaster.

Debunking common myths about bullying will be an important part of the program, which has been developed to offer parents, schools, and communities concrete, practical advice about how to address bullying.

The new 16-page booklet written by Dr. Smith, Understanding Bullying, will be distributed to participants at

no cost. The publications address the consequences of bullying for bullies, their victims and bystanders, distinguishes between the ways boys and girls engage in bullying behavior, and debunks such myths as bullying being a normal part of growing up.

Included are concrete steps parents of victims and parents of bullies can use if they learn their child is being bullied, or has bullied others. Information is also included about the increasing problem of cyberbullying.

House Bill 1523, the state’s current bullying law, went into effect July 1, 2010. It defines both bullying and cyber-bullying and emphasizes that bullying isn’t just peer conflict, but always involves an imbalance of power. It requires schools to have clear bullying policies and to use only evidenced-based information to educate teachers about bullying. The bill also requires schools to develop policies for reporting incidents of bullying, and procedures for notifying parents of both the victim and the bully.

Interested individuals are invited to pre-register for the free session by calling the UNH Cooperative Extension office at 788-4961.

We can all play a part in strengthening families if we try GORHAM -- April is National Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month and the Governor of NH declared April Strengthening Families Month. This month and throughout the year the Family Resource Center at Gorham encourages all individuals and families to play a role in making Coos County a better place for families. By ensuring that parents have the knowledge, skills, and resources they need for their children, we can help prevent child abuse and neglect by strengthening families and

communities.

Research shows that five important factors are present in healthy families. Promoting these factors is among the most effective ways to reduce the risk of child abuse and neglect. They are: * Nurturing and attachment * Knowledge of parenting and of child and youth development * Parental resilience * Social connections * Concrete supports for parents. see STRENGTHENING page 7

Police dept. could absorb higher costs for training, certification

BY CRAIG LYONS THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN— The police department may absorb an increase in the cost for training and certification if N.H. Police Standards and Training “It’s still certainly an unknown,” said Berlin Chief Peter Morency. “It depends on the state budget.”

Morency discussed the possible increase in training and certification cost with the Berlin Police Commission Friday morning. He said the state mandates a number of criteria for certification and requires a certain amount of training for police officers and the city could absorb the added costs to meet the standards.

He said one possibility that’s being considered would cover the cost of training new officers.

Morency said the potential cost could be $1,000 per week. He added the training for a new officer requires 16 weeks.

That cost would be added to what the city already invests in new officers for exams, medical screening and background checks, said Morency.

With a $40,000 training budget, Morency said just sending a new officer through the academy could use the entire amount.

For other officers, Morency said they need to be recertified in a number of areas either annually or every two years.

For recertification, some training is offered in Littleton via a satellite office for standards and training or at

the main facility in Concord.

Certification ranges from basic things like firearms training, defensive tactics, CPR, first aid to more specialized areas like drug recognition, Intoxilyzer operation and a plethora of other areas.

Morency said officers in Berlin are often certified in more specialized areas since there are few other resources available for the department to rely upon if a situation arises.

He added Berlin often assists other agencies because of the specialization many officers have.

Officers are currently required to have eight hours of additional training each year, said Morency. He added it’s under consideration to increase the number of training hours to 32.

Police Standards and Training is normally funded with a percentage of the penalty assessment from court fees, said Morency. He added so the training agency has basically been self funded in the past.

Though with a decline in the penalty assessment funding, Morency said standards and training began looking at other ways to fund itself.

“We’ve looked at different ways to fund it,” said Morency. “But they’ve all been shot down.”

Furthering the possible increase in training costs the potential for a more than $600,000 cut to standards and training that’s included in the state budget.

“It’s pushing those costs back on the municipalities,” said Morency.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

DILBERT

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your life sparkles when you encourage others to be resourceful and creative.

Set some basic rules for your family or group. Beyond those rules, leave as much as you can up to the group’s members.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You have signed up to learn and grow.

You may be subconsciously working for the approval of the person in charge.

Remember that you are the ultimate boss in this endeavor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You like to be in charge sometimes, but always being the one who has to come up with the plan is not so fun. This time you’ll sit back and let others rise to the occasion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Not all interesting stories are sob stories. You’ll have to work harder to find something to relay that is not based on the sad state of things or a complaint therein. If you try, you’ll succeed.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You want to raise the mood of every room you enter. You portray yourself like a character in a musical, causing all who witness your theatrics to tap their toes to your uplifting song.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 12).

You’ll have all the necessary ingredients for a balanced and happy life.

The next six weeks bring you in touch with your natural gifts. You will be an agent of healing in several instances.

Financial luck comes in May. You will adjust to accommodate an addition to your family in July. There’s a magical tie between you, Capricorn and Aquarius.

Your lucky numbers are: 9, 20, 4, 39 and 17.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You know you’re lucky, but you don’t always feel that way. Someone in dire straits helps you look at your own life differently. In this new light, you may decide that you’re doing just fine.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). An enjoyable healthy habit is quickly becoming part of your regular routine.

Soon this will be so ingrained in your manner that it will be an essential part of who you are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Though you have plenty of energy, you are still better off when you conserve it. Feeling bad about the things you can’t change would be a waste. Direct your focus on strictly enjoyable activities.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You won’t be accused of being shy or subtle today. You’ll get right to the point. Your blunt approach will work best on those who are, like you, too busy to do things any other way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s new territory to explore in a relationship. You may stumble through this experience, which is to be expected when you venture out of your element. Give yourself a pass. You are learning as you go.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes you need feedback. This is not one of those times, though. You could do without other people’s observations on your life. You know better anyway.

Don’t invite comment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If love is a battlefield, your battle has begun, and you are already off to a dynamic start.

You’re not fighting another person, though. It’s more like you’re joining arms against the monstrous complexities of modern romance.

by Abigail Van Buren

OPEN MINDS ARE USEFUL WHEN DISCUSSING GOD WITH KIDS

DEAR ABBY: I would like to respond to “Agnostic Dad in South Carolina” (Feb. 16), who wondered about how to answer the inevitable “Is there a God?” question his children will ask. My parents had strong but differing Christian faiths.

They compromised when bringing us up, and we went to the church nearest our home (another denomination). Further, when we were teens, they allowed us to “sample” other religious traditions to determine what would suit us best.

I became agnostic, and like “Dad in S.C.,” was unsure what to tell my son. My husband and I do not belong to any organized religion and didn’t take him to church as a youngster.

Instead, we introduced stories from the Bible at bedtime, and allowed him to attend his friends’ churches when he asked to. More important, we showed him that all people are to be valued and that differences are to be respected.

Our son is now in his late 20s. He’s a gentle, caring person with an interest in people from other cultures, religions and circumstances. Whether he is agnostic, religious or an atheist is a personal matter to him. He’s comfortable with his beliefs and doesn’t impose them on anyone else. As a parent, I couldn’t ask for more. -- FREE-THINKING MOM IN WASHINGTON DEAR MOM: Thank you for writing. Many readers were eager to offer guidance on this subject to a fellow parent. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Despite eight years of Catholic education, I’m an atheist. My wife is a Lutheran. We’ve never argued about it because we feel everyone has a right to religious

freedom. We have three sons, whom she took to church and Sunday school regularly with my complete support. We discussed in advance what our answer should be when the God question came up. Our response was: “Some people believe there is a God and others do not. You will get a sound religious education, and when the time comes, you will decide for yourself.”

Our sons are now adults with families. Two are religious; one is not. At family meals we join hands and say grace. Some recite it -- some just listen -- and everybody’s happy. -- HARMONIOUS IN ILLINOIS DEAR ABBY: There is no problem for “Agnostic” and his wife to “handle.” If his children ask if there’s a God, he should model honesty for them and say what he thinks. So should his wife. If the kids get two different answers, they will learn that not everyone shares the same opinion. Suggesting that “Dad” not express his view plainly, without input from his wife, amounts to recommending that they collude in providing a dishonest answer. -- EMERITUS PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN IOWA DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are agnostic parents of two adult children, both of whom are tolerant, open-minded and decent people. My advice to “Dad” is to read some of the excellent books that are available about discussing God and religion with children. He should also look into the Unitarian Universalist church, which does not push any one creed but encourages people to find their own beliefs in a supportive environment. -- NANCY H. IN TEXAS

Berlin Youth Hockey Mites capture both state and seacoast titles

BERLIN -- The Berlin Youth Hockey Organization, got a nice lift from the Mite Level players recently.

The Mites went on to capture both the state and seacoast championships.

State Tourney Game 1 Sabres 1 Flames 1 Berlin faced the Manchester Flames in game one of the State Tourney. The Flames were the first one to score in the first period for the 1-0 lead. It remained that way through the second period until John Boucher scored from a pass by Griffin Melanson. The game finished with a 1-1 tie. The Sabres goalie Cameron Reardon was able to stop all other advances for the tie.

Game 2 Sabres 5 NH JR Monarchs 1 The Berlin Sabres Mites took on the NH JR Monarchs in the second game of the state tournament.

The Sabres came out playing hard and that resulted in a first period goal from Dominic Paradis that was unassisted. Two minutes later Ben Estrella got possession of the puck and scored on a breakaway for the 2-0 advantage. One minute later Paradis scored again unassisted for his second of the period. Before the period ended, Mite John Boucher scored from passes

by Dustin Rainville and Jonah Berthiaume for a 4-0 lead.

In the third period, Brayden Reindeau lit the lamp off a pass from Melanson, making the final goal of the game for a 5-1 victory.

Game 3 Sabres 4 Cyclones 3 The third game of the tourney featured the Sabres against the Hudson Cyclones. Berlin was the first team to score in the first period. Dominic Paradis netted a goal from a feed by Griffin Melanson. The Cyclones finished the period with a goal and tied it 1-1 after a period of play.

There was nine minutes left in the second period. Paradis scored his second goal of contest teaming up with Melanson for the second time. Two minutes later John Boucher scored off a pass by Jonah Berthiaume. Twenty one seconds remained in the period.

Paradis scored his second goal of the period that resulted in a hat trick for the game. The Cyclones also scored in

the second period to make it 4-2 game with a period left to play.

In the third period, the Cyclones scored with seven minutes left in the period to make it a one goal contest 4-3. The Sabres stood their ground not allowing the game tying goal, coming out on top for the big win.

Game 4 The Finals Sabres 4 NH East 3 The Berlin Sabres faced off against a talented NH East team for the final game. The first period was a lot of back and forth action. Both clubs’ defenses stiffened, resulting in a 0-0 score.

In the second period, the Sabres were the first to score. Ben Estrella had a breakaway and scored with nine minutes left in the period for the 1-0 lead. Not even a minute later, NH East scored to tie it and then scored again to make 2 to 1.

The Sabres Dominic Paradis scored unassisted with one minute left in the period to tie it up 2-2.

The third period proved to be a nail biter. NH East scored with eight minutes left in the period to go ahead 3-2.

The Sabres’ Paradis stayed hot, answering back with five minutes left to play in the game.

Two minutes later, Mite John Boucher scored the eventual game winner and go ahead goal for the 4-3 advantage.

There was one minute and thirty two seconds left in the game. One of Berlin’s defensive players covered the puck in the crease resulting in a penalty shot for NH East. The Sabres goalie Cameron Reardon came out of his crease to challenge the shooter and cut off all angles resulting in a big save.

The Berlin Sabres played tough and kept NH East off the board for the last minute and resulted in a State Championship Win, Berlin Sabres 4 NH East 3. The Berlin Mites were able to win this title with the offensive lines of Jonah Berthiaume, John Boucher, Cael Jewett, Griffin Melanson, Kolin Melanson, Dominic Paradis, Dustin Rainville, Brayden Reindeau, and Cameron Sloane. The defense consisted of Ben Estrella, Trinity Gensee MITES page 17

North Country Ford Late Model division, aligning itself for 2011 break-out season at Riverside Speedway GROVETON -- The North Country Ford sponsored Late Model racing division at Riverside Speedway, has all of the signs of becoming a record setting season at the ¼ mile speed plant that is “just a notch above the rest”.

“We have 18 registered drivers thus far,” said General Manager Jean LeBlanc. “Since we are now ACT affiliated, most of the Late Model drivers have upgraded their equipment to be eligible to get a chance to attempt to qualify for the big ACT event during the August 12th weekend at Loudon.”

Set to possibly garner his fourth straight title is Stark’s Bryan Mason.

It appears that would be a first ever feat at Riverside Speedway, setting a record of four straight Late Model championships. Looking to dethrone Mason, would none other the Bryan’s older brother Corey Mason. Corey was the last to carry the championship

banner prior to Bryan’s three straight titles.

There is a ton of young talent that will all get their shot at Mason. Brett Gervais and Dilyan Switser are set to return for a season of racing. Sporting brand new rides in 2011 is 2008 rookie of the year Paul Schartner III, 2010 rookie of the year Brandon Lambert, and fast qualifier during the Clash of the Titans, Jesse Switser. Haywood Herriot and veteran Jeff Marshall return to Riverside Speedway in 2011 after a year off from Late Model racing. Veteran Steve Patnaude has a new car and ACT racer Randy Potter will frequent the high banks for the big money events.

The rookie crop of racers appears to be very interesting. Super Stock graduate Michael Smith, Outlaw/Sportsman driver Matt “The Hammer” LeBlanc, and Groveton’s own Luke Shannon are just a few of the new

Boys’ tennis team defeats Timberwolves in opener, 8-0

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

ALTON BAY -- The Berlin boys’ tennis team made their first trip to the outside a successful one, defeating Prospect Mountain 8-0 in a boy’s Division III tennis match at Alton Bay recently.

The Mounties rolled in the singles competition. Senior Zach Stephson beat Jesse Brown 8-1, second seeded Mountie Jeremy Michalik defeated Morgan Roy 8-2, it was senior Zach Perreault over Ben Couch 8-6, senior Tyler Baillargeon duplicated Perreault’s win by beating Zach Carson 8-6, sophomore Dimitri Giannos gave Berlin the match with an 8-1 victory over Andrew Carson, and Jake Drouin made it a sweep over Mitchell Cookingham 8-1.

“It was the craziest match I’ve been involved in, meaning the weather,”

said Berlin coach, Andy Rancloes.

“It was sleeting, snowing, raining, and very windy, but the kids played through it. They were really excited, just to be outside.”

In doubles action, Berlin’s Stephenson and Michalik won by a score of 8-5 over Roy and Carson, Perreault and Baillargeon defeated Wolves Brown and Couch 8-5, and the final match was stopped with Giannos and Drouin leading 7-2, so that the girl’s team could begin their match.

“This was a good match to start the year,” Rancloes said. “It gives the players a chance to find their swing and balance before the season really picks up. Being in the gym the last 2 1/2 weeks has not helped us at all so it was great to be outside.”

The Berlin boys will travel to Sanborn Regional high school for their next contest.

Lady netters roll past Sanborn, 7-2

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

SANBORN -- The Berlin girls’ tennis team made it two straight wins defeating Sanborn Regional 7-2 in a Division III tennis match Thursday.

“The girls played well considering it was our second day outside,” said Berlin mentor, Patty Hood.

“We still have lots of work to do.

I am sure the girls will progress quickly, once we are consistently outside.”

The Berlin girls got things going during the singles competition, taking 5 of 6 games. Number 1 Moriah Arsenault beat Indian Shayla Santos 8-5, #2 Mountie Al Aldrich shut out Erica Low 8-0,

senior member #3 Felicia Arsenault worked by Jen Baily 8-2, #4 youngster Kathryn Record defeated Danielle L’Antigra 8-2, Berlin’s #5 Staci Beaudoin lost a hard fought battle with Katie Hamor 7-9, and Frosh #6 Miriam Arsenault bested Sanborn’s Lauren Bartlett 8-4.

In doubles, Berlin took two of three to win overall 7-2. #1 Moriah Arsenault and Al Aldrich over Santos and Low 8-4, #2 Felicia Arsenault and Miriam Arsenault fought past L’Antigra and Hamor 8-3, and Mounties Staci Beaudoin and Kathryn Record fell to Homan and Bailey 4-8.

The Berlin girls return to action on April 13, traveling to Bethlehem to take on the Patriots.

Other potential racers look to be Littleton’s Russ Clark, Hyde Park’s Shawn Cooke, and Lyndonville’s Jeremy Lacoss. 2010 runner-up racer, hard chargin Matt Pepin, is currently looking for a crate engine power plant before taking to the asphalt in 2011.

Seacoast Tourney Game 1 Sabres 3 Jr Monarchs 2 The Berlin Sabres opened the Seacoast Tourney taking on the Jr Monarchs. The first period there were no goals scored. However, the pace was fast and physical.

The second period proved to be the period where all the scoring took place. Just ten seconds into the period, Sabre John Boucher was able to beat the defensive player of the Monarchs and found the back of the net for a 1-0 lead. On his next shift, Boucher was able to beat the defensive team again and score unassisted. It was his second of the period.

The Jr Monarchs respond by scoring the last two goals of the period to tie it up 2 to 2 after the two periods of play.

The third period was again back and forth. Neither club could muster a goal sending the game into sudden death overtime.

In the first overtime period, neither team scored so that meant it would go into a four on four second overtime.

Solid defensive play kept the contest without a goal, making it a three on three for a third overtime session.

Again neither team scored, so now it would go into a two on two. The fourth overtime session was the decisive one.

With a minute left in the two on two, the hero was Sabre Dominic Paradis putting the puck in the net for the dramatic 4-3 victory.

Game 2 Sabres 4 NH East 1 In game two of the seacoast tourney, the Sabres skated against the NH East team.

Scoring in the first period for the Berlin Sabres was Paradis on a breakaway and it was unassisted. The Sabres played tough defense in the first period keeping the advances from NH East at bay. The period ended 1-0, Berlin ahead by one.

The Sabres scored just three minutes into the second period on an unassisted goal from John Boucher for a 2-0 lead. NH East reduced their deficit to one goal scoring with two minutes left in the period. Berlin’s Paradis netted his second of the contest with one minute left in the period, making it 3-1.

In the third period, Paradis completed the hat trick and Berlin was leading 4-1.

NH East would not give up and kept playing hard and challenging the Berlin boys. The East were on a

win event, on Saturday July 2nd it’s the annual R&R Fireworks/Mason Enterprises 100 lap $1000 to win event, and on Sunday August 21st it’s the 3rd Annual Central Asphalt/ Munce’s Superior Clash of the Titans 150, paying out a $5000 to win purse.

The NH East was awarded a penalty shot with 1:32 left in the game. Berlins goalie Cameron Reardon had done this just same thing, a week earlier. Reardon knew what had to be done. He came out of the crease and challenged the shooter. Reardon came up with a dazzling glove save to shutdown the shooter. The Sabres’ teammates rushed to congratulate their goalie. The Mites had to finish playing the last minute of play tough. When the buzzer sounded the Sabres knew they were on their way to another finals game.

Game 3 Sabres 4 NH JR Monarchs 1 The Berlin Sabres faced the NH JR Monarchs at the Dover Arena for the Seacoast Title. In the first period, the Sabre’s Paradis scored the only goal of the period. Team mates Brayden Reindeau and Griffin Melanson got the helping markers for the 1-0 lead.

The period ended with Berlin ahead by one and goalie Cameron Reardon had five saves after the first.

In the second period, Sabres Dustin Rainville found the puck in a scramble in front of the net, from a pass by John Boucher for a 2-0 score. There was just thirty seven seconds left in the second period, when the Monarchs scored.

The period ended Berlin 2 Monarchs 1. Berlin’s goalie Reardon had four saves for the second period.

The third period was full of back and forth play. Berlin picked up the all important insurance goal with only three minutes to play. Paradis scored from a pass by John Boucher and a 3-1 advantage. One minute later, Paradis placed the final nail in the coffin. The assists were from Brayden Reindeau and Ben Estrella.

Mounties sweep past Sanborn, 9-0

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

SANBORN -- The Berlin boys’ tennis team won their second straight match in as many days, shutting out Sanborn Regional, 9-0, Thursday.

“Zach Stephenson had a great battle,” said Mountie coach Andy Rancloes. “He had a nice lead and lost it but still won. That takes a lot of mental preparation. He did very well.”

In singles action, Sanborn’s #1 Chris Matthews fell to Stephenson 6-8, #2 Dan Nadeau was shut out by Mountie Jeremy Michalik 0-8, three seed Steve Soterakopoulos was fell to senior Zach Perreault 3-8, Travis Forsyth lost to Berlin’s Tyler Baillargeon 2-8, Indian Nick Stafford was beaten

by Dimitri Giannos 1-8, and #6 Steve Arata lost

to Mountie Jake Drouin 1-8.

In the doubles’ games, Sanborn’s Matthews and Nadeau lost to Stephenson and Michalik 5-8, Arata and Soterakopoulos lost 5-8 to Perreault and Baillargeon, and Mounties Giannos and Drouin shut out Dave Bertolami and Eddie Dennis, 0-8.

“We need to work on our doubles,” Rancloes said. “The matches are going to get tougher and we need to really focus and play our best. As soon as we can get outside and practice, we will be able to go over some drills and some strategies when it comes to doubles. That is where we will win those tough games.”

Berlin will get a few days off and return to the courts, taking on the Patriots of Profile.

74 Tips To Extend the Life of Your Car from Long Life For Your Stuff Care and Maintenance Tips Keep Your Car Running in Top-Notch Condition We’ve compiled our best expert advice, surprising tricks, and car care tips to prolong the life of your automobile!

1. Be patient during the break-in period You’ve bought your dream car and now you want to make it last at long as possible in top condition. Here are some things to remember as you pull it out of the dealer’s lot: During the break-in period, typically the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km), keep your speed under 55 mph (88 kpm) or to the speed recommended by your car’s manufacturer.Avoid heavy loads on the drive train, such as towing trailers, and loading the roof rack or trunk with heavy construction materials.

Do not allow your new car to idle for long periods — this is good advice for the life of your car, but especially during breakin. The oil pressure generated by doing so may not be sending oil to every part of your engine.

Use only light to medium acceleration, keeping the engine rpms below 3,000 for the first few hours of driving.

2. Drive with care everyday Being car considerate shouldn’t stop after the break-in. Drive with care every day and your car will reward you with longer intervals without repair.

Do not race your car’s engine during start-up.This is a quick way to add years of wear to your engine, especially if it’s cold outside.

Accelerate slowly when you begin your drive.The most wear to the engine and drive train occurs in the first ten to twenty minutes of operation.

Warming the engine by letting it idle in the driveway is not a smart idea.The engine doesn’t operate at its peak temperature, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion, soot deposits on

cylinder walls, oil contamination, and ultimately damaged components.

Put less strain on your engine and automatic transmission by shifting to neutral at red lights. Otherwise, the engine is still working to push the car even while it’s stopped.

Avoid driving at high speeds and accelerating quickly, especially when it’s very hot or very cold outside. Such driving behavior will result in more frequent repairs.

Extend the life of your tires with careful driving. Observe posted speed limits. Avoid fast starts, stops, and turns. Avoid potholes and objects on the road. Don’t run over curbs or hit the tire against the curb when parking. And, of course, don’t burn rubber.

When turning your steering wheel, don’t hold it in an extreme right or left position for more than a few seconds.

Doing so can damage the power-steering pump.

Consolidate your short driving trips.

Most of the wear and tear — as well as the pollution your car generates — takes place in the first few minutes of driving. Doing several errands at once, during low traffic hours if possible, will keep your engine happier longer.

3. Buy gas at reputable service stations Ask whether the gas you buy is filtered at the pump and if the station has a policy about changing the pump filters regularly. If you get a song and dance, find another gas station. Some stations don’t have pump filters, making you more vulnerable to dirty gasoline. Other stations may not mix alcohol and fuel properly — or worse, water down their product. Find a station you trust and stick to it.

4. Don’t fill up if you see the tanker If you happen to see a gasoline tanker filling the tanks at your local gas station, come back another day or go to a different station. As the station’s underground tanks are being filled, the turbulence can stir up sedisee TIPS page 21

“Power Sports since 1977” Some one asked the other day,Hey Ray why the “since 1977”? Well here’s his answer. It all started out of High school, my first bike shop job was with a gentleman by the name of Eddie Renaud. Renaud Honda. Eddie was a shrewd business man. Next came employment with Top Sports Plaza, yes the good folks of Top Furniture were involved in motorcycles and snowmobiles. I was very lucky to work with some sharp people at that establishment. Next was a period in time, that a gentleman named Roland Leveille of Rocket Snowmobile hired me. Roland was a guy who had the insight of an engineer, the repair vision of MacGiver,and the humor of a guy who was just, a great all around person. I learned a lot from Roland, even a few choice

Steve Fisk and I started a long friendship, once again a gentleman who I was lucky to share some business insight with. Well in the summer of ‘92 I approached Ray Mulligan, and the rest is history; 299 Main St. Gorham,has been my address till now. Yes I had a couple of vacations in between. You ask what does all this have to do with my shop?

Well through the years I have been very lucky to have learned from very diverse bunch of characters. The day you stop learning, is the day you’re done. I’m still blessed with awesome family, great friends,and best of all great customers!

Mr. Auto

Mr. Auto’s certified technicians with over 96 years of experience offer these winter car care tand acidity. Check the state of health and charge of your battery. Change your oil at regular intervals. Check to make sure your transmission fuel

is clean and up to level. All exterior lights are working and clear of snow and dirt. Tires are at proper inflation.

Have an emergency kit with shovel, flashlight, blankets and nonperishable food and water on hand.

You can prepare the interior and exterior of your car for warmer weather by following some simple spring cleaning tips.

Share RSSPrint The changing seasons mean different things for your vehicle. The following spring car cleaning tips can help you protect yourself and your investment.

The interior Do you carry a sandbag or other heavy object in your trunk to improve how your rear-wheel-drive vehicle handles in the snow? If so, when the snow and ice melt, it’s time to clean out your trunk. Doing so will improve your gas mileage because you lighten your car’s load and this can mean considerable savings at the gas station.

You might also want to prepare the interior surfaces and upholstery of your car for more sun exposure. If you have leather seats, use a good leather protector to avoid any cracking and if you have cloth interiors invest in a product that will help avoid fading from sun exposure.

The exterior The exterior of your car is exposed to different elements during different seasons. During the winter, it can be

easy to let washing your car fall by the wayside. Your paint job and windshield may accumulate debris from the snow, as well as from the salt used on the streets to melt the snow. This could cause your car to have a cloudy appearance which is not only unattractive, but could also impair your vision. Take your car in for a professional wash so that you can rid your car’s exterior of any residue left over from the winter months and pay close attention to your tires, which can also suffer from buildup during the snowy season.

Also remember that spring is allergy season. This means that your car will probably be covered in pollen at some point. Pollen build up on your car can not only worsen your allergy symptoms, but impair your vision on the road, so be vigilant about keeping your car washed.

Give your car a thorough inspection This means taking a good look at the underside of your car and inspecting it for any rust or other corrosion caused by the winter months. Winter’s salt and snow can wreak havoc on the seldom seen parts of your car, and the longer they go undiscovered, the more dangerous and expensive they get.

Spring cleaning the interior and exterior of your vehicle

ment. Sediment in your gas can clog fuel filters and fuel injectors, causing poor performance and possibly necessitating repairs.

5. Go easy when you’re stuck When stuck in mud or snow, don’t make the problem worse by damaging an expensive component. Gently rocking in an attempt to free the car is fine. But if it looks as though you’re really stuck, don’t keep at it. Throwing your car from forward to reverse repeatedly, as well as spinning tires at high speeds, can generate lots of heat and spell trouble for transmissions, clutches, and differentials. It may be cheaper in the long run to call the tow truck rather than risk big repair bills down the road. It’s a good idea to carry a traction aid in the trunk, such as sand, gravel, or cat litter.

6. Lighten up your key chain Does your car key share a chain with a dozen or more other keys?

That’s a pretty heavy load hanging off the car key when it’s in the ignition.

The weight, combined with bouncing while you drive, can wear out the tumblers inside the ignition and eventually lead to ignition switch failure.To add years of service to your ignition switch, purchase a lightweight key chain that allows you to separate your ignition key from the others. Drive with only the ignition key in your ignition. If your ignition key “sticks” when you try to turn on the car, it’s a warning that your ignition switch is about to fail. Replace it before you get stranded.

7. Choose a good car insurer Sometimes, no matter how careful

you are, disaster inevitably strikes — typically in the form of an accident. Make sure that your car will be repaired to the best possible standard by finding an insurer that will pay for parts from the original manufacturer and guarantee the repairs it authorizes.

8. Keep an auto log Keep a pad and pencil in the glove compartment and use them to record your gas fill-ups and mileage. If you notice that your gas mileage worsens, mention it to your service man. It may be an early warning sign that something is wrong with your car.

9. Preserve your car during longterm storage If you are not going to use your car for more than a month, store it properly to prevent unnecessary damage and repairs upon your return.

Fill the gas tank to help prevent condensation from accumulating in the gas tank. Add a fuel stabilizer and drive the car around a bit to distribute the additive to engine parts.

Wash and wax the car thoroughly to protect the finish.

Place a vapor barrier on your garage floor. A 4-mil polyethylene drop cloth will do.

Disengage the parking brake to help avoid brake corrosion.

Put the car on jack stands to take the weight of the vehicle off the wheels and tires.

Disconnect and remove the battery to keep it from draining. Place the battery on a trickletype charger. Or periodically drain the battery, using a small light bulb, and then recharge it with a low-volt charger.

Increasing your gas mileage Save money on gas by following these simple tips to increase your gas mileage.

Are your visits to the gas pump leaving your wallet a little thinner than you want? Did you know that there are measures you can take to increase your gas mileage and help you save money when you fill up? Here are some tips you can follow to increase your gas mileage and hopefully see some savings at the gas station.

Change your filters Did you know that changing the filters in your car can boost your gas mileage? If your filters are gunked up, the systems in your car have to work harder to perform, thus making your gas mileage decrease. When you get your car checked out by a certified mechanic (or when you get an oil change), have him or her take a look at your filters so you know when its time to have them replaced. Your new filters will probably only cost you a few dollars, but you’ll probably see some considerable savings at the gas pump!

Get regular oil changes When your oil needs to be changed, the systems in your car experience more friction than normal, which causes your gas mileage to decrease. Check your car’s owner’s manual and follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for scheduling oil changes, as well as what grade oil to use. You may also want to talk to a certified mechanic about whether syn-

thetic oil could help you improve your car’s gas mileage. Downgrade your octane When you go to the gas pump, you may notice that the lowest octane gas is the least expensive. Unless your car’s owner’s manual warns against using lowoctane gas, go ahead and fill up with your cheapest option. Your car won’t necessarily run any better or worse, and you can see some significant savings at the gas station.

Check your tire pressure In your car’s owner’s manual or on a sticker on the frame of your car, you should be able to locate your manufacturer’s recommendation for tire pressure. Get a reliable pressure gauge and check your tire pressure regularly. Try to stay within the recommended range so that you can get the best gas mileage possible. Generally, the higher your tire pressure, the better gas mileage you will get. Just be sure that you don’t go over the recommended range so that you don’t cause any undue wear and tear on your tires.

You might also want to see how adjusting your travel schedule and driving at different speeds affects your gas mileage. You might find that driving at off-peak times and keeping a steadier pace can save you money at the pump. Also be sure to talk to a certified mechanic about other things you can do to increase your gas mileage. He or she may have some good recommendations for simple and easy things that you can do to save money at the gas pump.
