Farmers Market to move to Pleasant Street this summer BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – Beginning its third year this June, the Berlin Farmers Market has grown to become the second largest farmers market in the state. The market has outgrown the space it has occupied its first two years and this year will be setting up in the downtown on Pleasant Street. The city council Monday night approved a permit to close Pleasant Street every Thursday from June 28 through September 20. While the market will run from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., the street will be closed from 1:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. to give vendors time to set up and take down their stands. Laurie Jamison, the WREN Berlin Farmers

Market coordinator, met with the council to update the body on the latest plans for the market. The market has set up on Mechanic Street, between Main and Pleasant Streets. Mayor Paul Grenier said city officials and Jamison met last week to work out the details of the new location. Grenier noted the market had simply outgrown the Mechanic Street space. “This is a good thing,” he said. Working with Berlin police, Jamison said the market worked out a way to re-route traffic around Pleasant Street while the market is operating. She said she checked with businesses on Pleasant Street to make sure there were no objections to the market setting up there.

Jamison said she anticipates having 40 to 55 individual vendors at each market, noting that last year the market had over 80 different vendors participate throughout the entire summer. There will be live music at each market, with a performance area set up in front of the Coos County Family Health Service building. Jamison said the Randolph Foundation is paying for the musical entertainment. Councilor Peter Higbee said he understood sales generated by the market increased last year. Jamison said the first year the market generated about $90,000 in sales. Last year, she estimated that figure increased to the $120,000 range.

LANCASTER — The Coos County Grand Jury sat on Friday, March 30, and indicted five men on a variety of sexual assault charges, some dating back as far as 1990. Among those men, was former Lincoln Fire Chief Nathan Haynes, 66, of 91 Main Street in Lincoln.

iBrain can read your mind SAN DIEGO — Already surrounded by machines that allow him, painstakingly, to communicate, the physicist Stephen Hawking last summer donned what looked like a rakish black headband that held a feather-light device the size of a small matchbox. Called the iBrain, this simple-looking contraption is part of an experiment that aims to allow Dr. Hawking — long paralyzed by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease — to communicate by merely thinking. The iBrain is part of a new generation of portable neural devices and algorithms intended to monitor and diagnose conditions like sleep apnea, depression and autism. Invented by a team led by Philip Low, a 32-year-old neuroscientist who is chief executive of NeuroVigil, a company based in San Diego, the iBrain is gaining attention as a possible alternative to expensive sleep labs that use rubber and plastic caps riddled with dozens of electrodes and usually require a patient to stay overnight. About the Hawking experiment, Dr. Low said, “The idea is to see if Stephen can use his mind to create a consistent and repeatable pattern that a computer can translate into, say, a word or letter or a command for a computer.”

Obama: GOP budget plan embodies ‘radical vision’ WASHINGTON (NY Times) — President Obama opened a full-frontal assault Tuesday on the federal budget adopted by House Republicans, condemning it as a “Trojan horse” that would greatly deepen inequality in the United States, and painting it as the manifesto of a party that had swung radi-

cally to the right. Listing what he said would be draconian cuts to college scholarships, medical research, national parks and even weather forecasts, Obama said the Republican budget was “so far to the right, it makes the Contract With America” — Newt Gingrich’s legislative

insurgency of 1994 — “look like the New Deal.” Obama’s scathing attack, in a lunchtime speech to editors and reporters from The Associated Press, was part of a broad indictment of the Republican Party that included the president’s likely opponent in the fall, Mitt Romney.

A taste of hope in Mogadishu

MOGADISHU, Somalia (NY Times) — Up until a few weeks ago, all visitors who landed at Aden Abdulle International Airport in Mogadishu were handed a poorly copied, barely readable sheet that asked for name, address — and caliber of weapon. No more. Now visitors get a bright yellow welcome card that has no mention of guns and several choices for reason of visit, including a new category: holiday. Outside, on Mogadishu’s streets, the thwatthwat-thwat hammering sound that rings out in the mornings is not the clatter of machine guns but the sound of actual hammers. Construction

Libyan militias turn to politics

TRIPOLI, Libya (NY Times) — The militia leaders who have turned post-Qaddafi Libya into a patchwork of semiautonomous fiefs are now plunging into politics, raising fears that their armed brigades could undermine elections intended to lay the foundation of a new democracy. The militia leader from Zintan who controls the airport here in the capital has exchanged his uniform for a suit and tie and now talks about running for office — with his 1,200 armed men at his back. The head of Tripoli’s military council is starting a political party, and the military council in Benghazi is preparing its own slate of candidates for local office. Regional militias and the ruling Transitional National Council have already blocked the city of Bani Walid, once a bastion of support for Col. Muammar elQaddafi, from choosing its local government. Other militia leaders are volunteering their armed support as the military wings of newly formed parties. Five months after Colonel Qaddafi’s death, Libyans are counting on the ritual of the ballot box to end four decades of rule by brute force.

Petition would name stage ‘E Street Bandstand’

THE BERLIN DAILY SUN, Wednesday, April 4, 2012— Page 3

Valley’s talent on display

HAMPTON — A group is calling for the newly reconstructed Seashell Stage on Hampton Beach to be named after a nonexistent street and a famous band. As of Tuesday afternoon, 79 people had signed an online petition calling for the stage to be officially named “The E Street Bandstand.” Longtime Hampton-area resident Charlie Preston is the man behind the petition. He called the name a play on words because Hampton Beach doesn’t have an E Street, but the stage sits where a hypothetical E Street would end if the Hampton Beach Casino didn’t exist. The two-block casino structure sits between D and F streets. Preston said that years ago, a friend of his who worked as a bartender at Hampton Beach would clear her bar at closing time by announcing to the crowd that the party was moving to her house at 11 E St., an address that doesn’t exist. He said his aim with the online petition is to get people talking and to promote Hampton Beach. He said he would love to see his idea turn into something such as a fund for children who can’t afford to travel to the beach or for children with special needs -- anything that could better the beach and the community. Preston said The E Street Bandstand name would also salute the late members of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, such as Clarence Clemons, who have performed in the past at the Hampton Beach Casino across the street from the stage. Although it might be unlikely, Preston said he would welcome any involvement from Springsteen and his band. Preston’s petition requests that Springsteen and the E Street Band assist, direct and support efforts to name the stage. —Courtesy of WMUR

Companies to split $80k for job training CONCORD — Seven New Hampshire companies will share $80,000 in job training grants that are expected to help nearly 250 workers acquire new skills. Gov. John Lynch said the latest round of grants are among more than $4 million issued in the past five years to help train more than 12,500 New Hampshire workers. Recipients of the latest round of grants range from a Somersworth printing company supplying custom materials to the food service industry to a precision tool and machinery company in Newport. New Hampshire’s unemployment rate is hovering just above 5 percent, one of the lowest in the nation. The national unemployment rate in February was 8.3 percent. March unemployment rates will be released by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics later this week. —Courtesy of WMUR

Inmate shouldn’t have been released, officials say CONCORD — A man who authorities admitted never should have been released from prison is back in jail, but not before police said he robbed a store clerk at knifepoint. James Rand, 44, was paroled on Friday, but instead of being sent to county jail to face new charges, he was released. Police said a Cumberland Farms in Concord was robbed

just before midnight on Sunday. Police said Rand held a knife to the clerk during the robbery. Corrections officials said Rand, who has a lengthy criminal history, shouldn’t have been released once he was paroled because he had new charges filed against him. “Inmate Rand was supposed to be paroled to county jail to face new charges,” said corrections spokesman Jeff Lyons. “However,

due to an apparent communication error, we’re looking into the reason he was paroled to this community.” Parole Board executive assistant John Eckert said it was his fault Rand was released. “I take full responsibility,” Eckert said. “The proper procedures are in place. I just failed to follow them.” —Courtesy of WMUR

By David Brooks The New York Times

Respect the Future Last fall I asked readers over 70 to send me “Life Reports” — essays evaluating their own lives. Charles Darwin Snelling responded with a remarkable 5,000-word reflection. Snelling was a successful entrepreneur who spent decades serving his community. He was redeemed, he reported, six years ago when his beloved wife, Adrienne, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. “She took care of me in every possible way she could for 55 years. The last six years have been my turn,” Snelling wrote. “We continue to make a life together, living together in the full sense of the word; going about our life, hand in hand, with everyone lending a hand, as though nothing was wrong at all,” he continued. He believed that caring for his wife made him a richer, fuller human being: “It’s not noble, it’s not sacrificial and it’s not painful. It’s just right in the scheme of things. ... Sixtyone years ago, a partner to our marriage who knew how to nurture, nurtured a partner who needed nurturing. Now, 61 years later, a partner who is learning how to nurture is nurturing a partner who needs nurturing.” On March 29, less than four months after we published his essay online, Snelling killed his wife and then himself. The comments responding to Matt Flegenheimer’s news article on this event make for fascinating reading. The majority support or sympathize with Snelling’s double-killing. Many of the correspondents have cared for a loved one with Alzheimer’s. “It is like a slow horror show,” a woman from Texas wrote. These writers felt nothing but sympathy for the pain and despair Snelling must have endured. Several argued that people in these circumstances should be able to end their spouse’s life legally, so they don’t then feel compelled to end their own. Others were impressed by the Romeo-andJuliet-style ending that Snelling created. “This was as fine an ending as the Snellings’ love story deserved,” a man from Virginia wrote. “Their bodies gave out — their hearts never did.” This sentiment was echoed by the Snelling family, which released a statement that began, “This is a total shock to everyone in the family, but we know he acted out of deep devotion and profound love.” Others, more likely women than men, were upset by Snelling’s decision. A woman from Canada who has spent 25 years nurs-

ing Alzheimer’s patients, argued that none of us have the right to decide that another person’s life is worthless. Some argued that the nurturing process at the end of life, like the nurturing process at the beginning, requires patience and that those who are desperate should seek help, not a firearm. Everyone approaches this case with sadness and trepidation. But I can come to only one conclusion: Either Snelling was so overcome that he lost control of his faculties, or he made a lamentable mistake. I won’t rehearse the religious arguments against murder and suicide, many of which are based on the supposition that a life is a gift from God. Our job is not to determine who is worthy of life, but how to make the most of the life we have been given. I would just refer you to the essay Snelling himself wrote. Only a few months ago, Snelling wrote that his life as his wife’s caretaker was rich and humanizing. By last week, he apparently no longer believed that. But who is to say how Snelling would have felt four months from now? The fact is, we are all terrible at imagining how we will feel in the future. We exaggerate how much the future will be like the present. We underestimate the power of temperament to gradually pull us up from the lowest lows. And if our capacities for imagining the future are bad in normal times, they are horrible in moments of stress and suffering. Given these weaknesses, it seems wrong to make a decision that will foreclose future thinking. It seems wrong to imagine that you have mastery over everything you will feel and believe. It’s better to respect the future, to remain humbly open to your own unfolding. Furthermore, I bought the arguments that Snelling made in that essay: that his wife’s illness had become a call for him to exercise virtue and to serve as an example for others; that people are joined by suffering, and that the life of a community is enriched by the hard tasks placed before it; that dependency is the normal state of affairs. If you look at life through the calculus of autonomy, then maybe Snelling made the right call. Maybe his moments of pain from here on out would have outnumbered his moments of pleasure. But if you look at a life as one element within a mysterious flow, it’s hard to escape the conclusion that Charles and Adrienne Snelling still had a few ripples to create.

CBA students hold a ‘Throw in the Towel’ fundraiser BERLIN — As part of Community Bible Academy’s commitment to community service, Mrs. Cornish’s first and second grade class held the 1st annual Throw in the Towel supply drive for the local Humane Society. The goal was to collect towels, blankets, food, and other items which are needed to help care for the shelter animals. Students asked family and friends to donate gently used supplies and collected items in their classroom at CBA (next to Guardian Angel Credit Union) before bringing 12 huge garbage bags to the North Conway Animal Shelter. Supply donations support the on-going care of pets in the shelter, allowing cash donations to be funneled toward veterinary bills or other shelter operations costs. Other school-wide community service projects this year include Operation Christmas Child, Annual Holiday Food Drive, and neighborhood cleanup.

CBA is the only licensed non-public school in the immediate area, and is open to students of all grades. The objective at CBA is to educate the total person - mentally, physically, and spiritually. In this role, we stand as a partner with parents, helping them fulfill their responsibility of bringing up their children to be respectful and equipped to serve our future generation in a professional and spiritual manner.

In Coos County alone, 380 people in the Medicare coverage gap known as the doughnut hole got a 50 percent discount on their brand name drugs last year, saving them an average of $550 each. An estimated 226 young adults in Coos County who would otherwise be uninsured have been able to stay on their parents’ health plan because of the law.

Staters have already experienced the benefits. Medicare is now stronger for seniors, and women can now get lifesaving mammograms at no extra cost. Children who were born with pre-existing conditions like asthma won’t lose their health care coverage – and New Hampshire families are seeing how the Affordable Care Act is saving money and saving lives. An estimated 545,000 Granite Staters used to have lifetime caps on their care, so families facing a serious illness would learn that their insurance company was cutting them off when they needed coverage most. The Affordable Care Act prohibits lifetime caps on care. Furthermore, as a result of the health reform law, no insurance company can deny coverage to the as many as 69,000 New Hampshire children who have pre-existing conditions like asthma and

FARMERS MARKET from page one

The Farmers Market last month had its first vendor take the next step and open up a business in Berlin. Sweet Mamas Bakery opened up at 751 Main Street in after the mother and daughter team tested the market last summer as a vendor at the farmers market. “Sweet Mamas is the perfect example of the mission of WREN to work with small businesses that want to test the market for their products and develop a customer base in a fun, friendly low-risk environment,” said Jamison. The rules of the market require all items to be locally produced within a 100-mile radius. Goods can be value-added but reselling is not allowed. Jamison said WREN has received a USDA Rural Development grant to fund the market for another two years. She said the goal is to grow the market to the point where it becomes self-sustaining. In other business: City Manager Patrick MacQueen reported that the properties at 790, 661, and 653 Western Avenue should be demolished within the next couple of weeks. He said the demolition was put out to bid and eight companies bid on the work. The low bidder was AllMetals Recycling, which bid $11,500 to demolish all three buildings. MacQueen said the demolition of the former J.C. Penney’s building on Main Street should be completed this week. He said the vacant lot should be more appealing to potential developers than the blight that existed there. A spokeswoman for Rite Aid, the owner of the block of buildings that have been demolished over the past two months, told the “Berlin Daily Sun” in an e-mail that the property will be marketed. Anyone interested in the property can call Rite Aid real estate department at 717-761-2633. Mayor Grenier reported that the House Bill 1238, which would force Public Service of N.H. to sell its electric generating plants, was tabled last week. Grenier had twice traveled to Concord to testify against the bill.

CCFHS joins state program NFHP to host second to provide cancer screening annual writers conference BERLIN -- March was National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, the purpose of which is to raise awareness about colon cancer and to encourage people to get tested. At Coos County Family Health Services, they know this subject is sometimes tough to talk about. But let’s face the facts. This year in New Hampshire, an estimated 680 people will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer and over 220 of them will die from this disease. Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths for both men and women in the United States and the third most commonly diagnosed cancer. This disease is preventable, so people all need to take time from their busy lives for this life-saving screening. Unfortunately, nearly half of all Americans are not getting the recommended screenings that they need to

prevent or detect the early stages of colorectal cancer. The risk of developing colorectal cancer increases with age, and more than 90 percent of cases occur in people age 50 or older. Coos County Family Health wants to encourage everyone 50-64 years of age, or sooner if they have a family history of colorectal cancer, to get screened. CCFHS is partnering with New Hampshire Colorectal Cancer Screening Program (NHCRCSP) to provide screening. That means if you are uninsured or underinsured, a free colonoscopy screening program is available for those who meet the eligibility criteria, according to the NHCRSP. Talk to your provider about colorectal cancer screening. For information about the financial eligibility guidelines, call Jolene Girard at 752-2040 or NHCRCSP at 603 653-3702.

BERLIN - Northern Forest Heritage Park, located at 942 Main Street in Berlin NH, will present the 2nd Annual Writers’ Conference & Book Festival on Saturday, May 19. Fritz Wetherbee, New Hampshire’s premiere storyteller, will be the keynote speaker. Mr. Wetherbee will be joined by several regional and local writers at the festival that will include writing workshops, author and poet readings, book sales and a fiction reading contest called “Literary Flash”. The festival is sponsored by The North Country Writers’ Night Out group, in association with the New Hampshire Writers’ Project. The festival’s theme, Reading, ‘Riting and Retail, will appeal to writers, readers and the general public. Mr. Wetherbee, who appears nightly on WMUR-TV’s New Hampshire Chronicle, will tell stories about New Hampshire history and talk about how he researches his TV segments and stories. His appearance, during the afternoon, sponsored by Plaidswede Publishing Co. of Concord, is free and open to the public. This is the second year that the North Country Writers’ Night Out group, the New Hampshire Writers’ Project and the Northern Forest Heritage Park have presented a book festival in Berlin. Workshops on poetry, nonfiction, fiction and social media will be presented in the morning. Maudelle Driskell, executive director of the Frost Place in Franconia, will present a workshop on the craft of poetry. Ron Roy and David Moore are published authors from Berlin and will speak in their areas of specialty, fiction and nonfiction. The morning workshop will offer a session on social media and electronic publishing by a presenter yet to be named. The cost of each morning workshop is $15 or $25 for three sessions.

Although there is a fee for the morning workshops, the park is open free to the public. In the afternoon George Geers, executive director of the New Hampshire Writers’ Project and owner of Plaidswede Publishing Co. will speak on publishing and the many ways an author can now publish his or her work, traditionally, selfpublishing or online. There will be an inside look at the publication of the Berlin area book, Seasonal Selections, by Mosaic Bookworks with its local contributors available to sign copies of the book. Many other authors and vendors, including Mr. Wetherbee, will display their work throughout the afternoon. If you have a book that you feel has some value this festival is where you want to be! There will be a book appraiser on hand from 1 to 3 p.m. to let you know just how much your book is worth. There is no charge to have your book appraised. The Literary Flash competition will be held from 3 to 4 p.m. Literary Flash is one of the New Hampshire Writers’ Project’s signature events. Each contestant gets three minutes to read a complete piece of original fiction in front of an audience and panel of judges. The winner of the North Country competition will compete in the final showdown at the annual Writers’ Day Conference in 2013. The Literary Flash competition is free and open to the public. The competition is limited to eight writers. Pre-registration is required on a first-come, firstserved basis with preference given to NHWP members. Publishers, authors and vendors interested in attending the Book Fair can contact Dick Huot at 752-7202, or visit www.northernforestheritage.org. To register for the Workshops call George Geers at 785-4811 or visit www.nhwritersproject.org.

March 31, saw over 200 children “hunt” for Easter treats and visit with the Easter Bunny at the Berlin Recreation Center. The Recreation gym was filled with candy, balloons, and baskets to raffle thanks to the generous donation of many businesses; Verizon Wireless Zone, Coulombe Real Estate, Tremaine Opticians, and Gill’s Flower and Candy Shop as well as the many day of event contributors who enabled the Berlin Recreation Department to offer this community event. The Dept. is in its thirty-first year of the Easter Eggstravaganza because of the charitableness of many.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Special projects are so enthralling that you wish you could spend all of your time and energy on them. Even if you can’t make that happen given your current situation, you’re lucky to feel so strongly about your interests. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have an important point to make today, and there’s no use in being subtle. Sing it from the rooftops. You’ll attract like minds, and together you can progress. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be a master of free association now, so feel free to go off on a conversational riff. Chances are, you’ll hit on the topic that your counterpart most enjoys. You raise conversation to an art form. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll go on a shopping spree, but what you’re after is probably something other than tangible goods. You’re looking for the inspiration or information that will lead you to the next great adventure. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It was this day in 1939 that your sign mate Glenn Miller recorded “Moonlight Serenade,” which quickly became a popular standard. You’ll be similarly creatively inspired, so remember to record your ideas! TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 4). You are charismatic and popular this year, and you’ll use your powers for good, elevating the mood of those around you. Over the next four weeks, you’ll be proud to see your brainchild develop and walk on its own. Family makes you proud in August. Plan a trip to where you’ve always wanted to go. October is ideal for travel. Leo and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 39, 2, 12, 34 and 28.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Ideas inspire you, command your full attention and propel you forward. You’ll feel like diving in without testing the waters first, and this may actually work well for you, provided you’re reasonably familiar with this particular “pool.” TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don’t worry about finishing what you started. Organize your project for completion at a later date. The process of taking stock, categorizing and figuring out where things stand will illuminate an important piece of the puzzle. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Venus newly gracing your sign decides to lend you a cloak of charm. All you have to do is wrap it around yourself (visualize this in great detail), and suddenly the world finds you enchanting. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Getting too involved in the lives of others can be, simply stated, a drag. When you are careful to identify problems as “yours” and “mine,” life becomes rather manageable, if not downright enjoyable. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You enjoy learning new things quite a lot more than you’ll enjoy repeating the same old tasks. And yet, it’s the same old tasks that need your attention. A midmorning attitude adjustment will help you soldier on with a smile. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The moon in your sign casts a glow of intrigue on your life, and you may field more attention, questions and curious stares than you’re used to. You can’t help it that you’re so fascinating! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can never know everything about a person. Even if the other person is your twin who shares the same DNA, there still will be a world to discover. New questions breathe life into old relationships.

SENIOR’S REFUSAL TO ‘SEXT’ RESULTS IN LOSS OF FRIEND

DEAR ABBY: Two years ago, when I was in 10th grade, I had a best friend, “Ben.” We talked all the time, shared secrets and always hung out together. I never regarded him as someone I’d like to date, so I never took his attention very seriously. That summer, he texted me and asked me to send him a picture of my breasts. When I said no, he became pushy. I told him I didn’t know what he was going to do with the picture, and I didn’t want to get in trouble. He was upset that I didn’t “trust” him. I tried to explain that I couldn’t assume he wouldn’t do anything to hurt me. We didn’t talk the rest of the summer. The following year we had a chemistry class together, and Ben acted like he didn’t know me. He deleted my phone number and dropped me as a friend on Facebook. Now, in our final year of high school, he’s in another class with me. He still won’t acknowledge me and is always flirting with my best friend. I have cried so much over Ben. I miss him a lot. I don’t understand why he’s treating me this way. What did I do that was so awful? Is something wrong with me? -- BEWILDERED IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR BEWILDERED: You did nothing wrong. You considered Ben to be a friend, and I assume that you aren’t in the habit of showing your male friends your breasts. It seems only logical that you wouldn’t send a picture that could wind up heaven knows where. Ben is acting this way because he is trying to punish you for not giving him what he wanted. He’s flirting with your friend to hurt you and/or make you jealous. These are not the actions of a friend, and the sooner you accept it, the better off you will be. Ben strikes me as immature and a user, so be glad

you didn’t do what he wanted. It was good common sense. DEAR ABBY: Regarding money and adult children, should a parent help all children equally if they are financially able to? Or should a parent offer help only to the children in need (medical expenses, kid in college, new washing machine, etc.)? If one child has a high-paying job, does he/she deserve any less from a parent in the end? -- WONDERING DEAR WONDERING: Before deciding how to divide your assets, first discuss this with an attorney who specializes in wills, trusts and estate planning. From my perspective, if you leave an equal amount to each of your heirs, it will prevent hurt feelings and resentment among them after you are gone. Monies given before your death to one of your children should be tallied and deducted from the amount he or she is allotted in your will -- with an explanation of the reason why it is less. DEAR ABBY: I am torn between two important people in my life. My best friend and my husband graduate this year on the same day, one at 9 a.m., the other at 10 a.m., at two different colleges an hour and a half apart. My friend says that because I was able to attend my husband’s associate and bachelor degree graduations, I should attend her ceremony because I have never seen her graduate. However, I feel my husband’s having earned his master’s degree is a huge accomplishment, and that I should attend his graduation. What do you think, Abby? -- UNDECIDED IN ARKANSAS DEAR UNDECIDED: I think you should follow your instincts, because they are exactly right. During your lifetime you will have many friends, but let’s hope only one husband.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at: Dear Abby, c/o The Conway Daily Sun, PO Box 1940, North Conway, NH 03860

Joan Pauline Rita Pinard, Allen, Racine September 19, 1948 - April 4, 2011 Afterglow I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when the day is done. I’d like to leave an echo... whispering softly down the ways of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave behind when the day is done. Love your family and friends

Gorham Public Library announces grant award to present ‘Stark Decency’ GORHAM -- The Gorham Public Library has received a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council to present “Stark Decency: New Hampshire’s WWII Prisoner of War Camp.” “Stark Decency” will be presented on May 16, at 7 p.m., at the Medallion Opera House in the Gorham Town Hall. After his presentation, Dr. Allen Koop (writer of the book “Stark Decency”) of Dartmouth College will lead a public discussion on this fascinating part of the North Country’s history. During World War II, 300 German prisoners of war were held at Camp Stark near the village

of Stark. The history of this camp tells us much about our country’s war experience and about our state. This program is free and open to the public. The New Hampshire Humanities Council nurtures the joy of learning and inspires community engagement by bringing life-enhancing ideas from the humanities to the people of New Hampshire. Learn more about the council and its work at www.nhhc.org. For more information, contact Elizabeth at the Gorham Public Library, 466-2525 or gorhampubliclibrary@ne.rr.com.
