Brookfield donates $13,000 to TriCounty CAP food and fuel assistance BY GAIL SCOTT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN—Not a moment too soon, Brookfield U.S. Foundation has donated $13,000 to the Tri-County Community Action Program for food and fuel assistance. In this interim period between the holidays and the Postal Workers food drive, the pickings are slim at the Tri County CAP food pantry. Tri CAP Community Contact Manager Cindy Baillargeon notes that “the holidays are a time of giving and the community is very supportive, but we have gone through those donations. We are at a time when we are struggling.” Baillargeon also noted that the Tri County CAP fuel assistance program gets up to 1,300 applications during the assistance season

which ends in April and this has been a particularly cold winter. The Brookfield donation is gratefully received. “People need food, shelter, the basic necessities,” said Brookfield Hydro Engineer and Androscoggin Operations Manager, Dennis Turcotte, who was visiting the Tri CAP food pantry Wednesday, “not just here but in Millinockett, too. There are not a lot of jobs around just now. The local community is suffering.” “The high cost of fuel and families out of work, the elderly trying to stay in their homes, the higher cost of living,” said Baillargeon, “all these things are contributing to need locally.” Just last December, Baillargeon had observed that the number of households using the food pantry had jumped from an see BROOKFIELD page 14

BERLIN— The Berlin Board of Education Wednesday approved a new tentative agreement with the Berlin Education Association. The board voted unanimously to approve the agreement in the morning so it could move forward to the City Council for a decision Wednesday night. The board declined to discuss any of the specific details of the agreement until it went before the council. Superintendent Corinne Cascadden see AGREEMENT page 6

More pupils are learning online

MEMPHIS (NY Times) — Jack London was the subject in Daterrius Hamilton’s online English 3 course. In a high school classroom packed with computers, he read a brief biography of London with single-paragraph excerpts from the author’s works. But the curriculum did not require him, as it had generations of English students, to wade through a tattered copy of “Call of the Wild.” Hamilton, 18, is among the expanding ranks of students in kindergarten through grade 12 — more than one million in the United States, by one estimate — taking online courses. Advocates of such courses say they allow schools to offer not only makeup courses, but also a richer menu of electives and Advanced Placement classes when there are not enough students to fill a classroom. But critics say online education is driven by a desire to spend less on teachers and buildings, especially as state and local budget crises force cuts to education. They note that there is no sound research showing that online courses at the K-12 level are comparable to face-to-face learning. “This is being proposed for even your youngest students,” said Karen Aronowitz, president of the teachers’ union in Miami “Because it’s good for the kids? No. This is all about cheap.”

White House says shutdown would harm the economy

NATO says Libya strikes are growing

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

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — President Obama blamed the budget stalemate in Washington on Republicans who are injecting “politics” into the negotiations. He warned that a government shutdown on Saturday would be felt by ordinary families and would threaten the nation’s economic recovery.

“I do not want to see Washington politics stand in the way of America’s progress,” he said. Mr. Obama complained that Democrats had offered concessions in the drawn-out negotiations over the 2011 budget but that Republicans were resistant. “We’ve agreed to a compro-

mise, but somehow we still don’t have a deal, because some folks are trying to inject politics,” Mr. Obama said, citing Republican proposals to curtail financing for abortion providers and other ideologically charged measures. “There are times to have those discussions,” he said, “but that time is not now.”

U.S. sees array of new threats at Japan’s nuclear plant (NY Times) — United States government engineers sent to help with the crisis in Japan are warning that the troubled nuclear plant there is facing a wide array of fresh threats that could persist indefinitely, and that in some cases are expected to increase as a result of the very measures being taken to keep the plant stable, according to a confidential assessment prepared by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Among the new threats that were cited in the assessment, dated March 26, are the mounting

stresses placed on the containment structures as they fill with radioactive cooling water, making them more vulnerable to rupture in one of the aftershocks rattling the site after the earthquake and tsunami of March 11. The document also cites the possibility of explosions inside the containment structures due to the release of hydrogen and oxygen from seawater pumped into the reactors, and offers new details on how semimolten fuel rods and salt buildup are impeding the flow of fresh water meant to cool the nuclear cores.

TRIPOLI, Libya (NY Times)— Stung by criticism from rebel leaders, NATO officials said Wednesday that the pace of attacks on the forces of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi was increasing, after a slight slowdown as the coalition handed off responsibility earlier in the week. Gen. Abdul Fattah Younes, the head of the rebel army, had lashed out at his Western allies during a news conference in Benghazi on Tuesday, accusing NATO of tardiness and indecision. “What is NATO doing?” he asked. “Civilians are dying every day. They use the excuse of collateral damage.” He charged that NATO was enforcing the United Nations-sanctioned no-fly zone too equally, barring the rebels from providing cover for their troops with the few warplanes he said they had repaired. “They said, ‘No, don’t use your planes,’ ” he said. A spokeswoman for NATO, Carmen Romero, said the alliance had flown 137 sorties on Monday and 186 on Tuesday and that it planned to fly 198 on Wednesday, The Associated Press reported.

N.H. man with antique guns 11 arrested in Franklin drug bust in baggage arrested at Logan BOSTON — A New London man was arrested Wednesday morning after he tried to go through a security checkpoint at Logan International Airport with two antique firearms in a carry-on bag. Brent Cameron, 44, of New London, was arrested by Massachusetts State Police about 7:45 a.m. and charged with two counts of possession of a firearm without a license. According to a press release, TSA security in Terminal E contacted state

police after an x-ray machine detected two images that appeared to be handguns in a carry-on bag. Trooper James Savage searched the bag and found two antique .22 caliber Derringer pistols. No ammunition was found. Cameron told troopers he bought the guns at an auction last week and said he did not know they were in the bag. He will be arraigned in East Boston Division of the Boston Municipal Court. —Courtesy of The Union Leader

Bill would give parents clout in class BY GARRY RAYNO THE UNION LEADER

CONCORD — A bill allowing parents to take their child out of a school or program if they disapprove of what is taught is too ambiguous, opponents said Tuesday. House Bill 542 (click to view bill status and text) would prohibit school districts from compelling parents to send their child to a school or program if they object for reasons of conscience. Under the bill, school districts would not be able to approve or disapprove of the program parents use as an alternative. The bill’s prime sponsor, Rep. J.R.Hoell, R-Dunbarton, said his proposal “reinforces parental rights.” He used Bedford and the controversy over the book “Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America” as an example. The book was part of a course on financial management required for students to graduate from Bedford High School. “Parents in some schools can opt out, but in this case they could not,” Hoell said. At the public hearing before the Senate Education Committee, Chairman Sen. Nancy Stiles, R-Hampton, was concerned the bill did not address how students would demonstrate the knowledge they would need if they opted out. “You would allow any student out of any program or class without any way of demonstrating what they know?” she said.

Hoell said he was focusing on the larger question. “If you force something down children’s throats, you undermine what is being taught,” he said. Other supporters said over the last 80 years, the U.S. Supreme Court has come down on the side of parental rights, giving parents a fundamental right to determine their child’s education. Rep. Seth Cohen, R-Canterbury, said the Bedford case and others like it clearly show there is a problem. “This is in support of parental rights, which I believe are under attack in this state and have been for some time,” Cohen said. But several opponents said the bill sets a dangerous precedent and represents sweeping change in education policy. Rep. Rick Ladd, R-Haverhill, a retired superintendent, noted current law allows parents to remove their children from programs or classes, but delineates a number of alternatives. “Now parents have the ability to take their child out of a school for a right of conscience. Where are you going with that?” he asked. Clair Ebel of the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union said the bill would eliminate compulsory education and the ability to review home school curriculum. She said parents sometimes do not just object to their child reading a particular book, but want it removed from the curriculum so no child can read it.

Jury begins deliberations in shooting NASHUA — A jury is deciding whether a Manchester man committed manslaughter or murder when he shot and killed another man. The defense admitted that Joshua Sprague, 25, shot Lennox Tibbs on Oct. 22, 2009, but they said he should not have been charged with murder, saying it was not premeditated. Prosecutors said Sprague deliberately shot Tibbs in a killing that was motivated by revenge. Investigators said Sprague believed Tibbs’ roommate had set him up to be robbed twice. But defense attorneys said

Sprague’s mind was clouded by drugs and alcohol, and that he thought a cellphone that Tibbs was holding was a gun. The defense said that because of those circumstances, Sprague is not guilty of murder and should have been charged with manslaughter. During the trial, prosecutors played surveillance video for the jury that appeared to show Sprague celebrating after the shooting. They said that when Sprague fired four shots at Tibbs, he made a conscious decision to kill him. Sprague is also facing burglary charges. —Courtesy of WMUR

FRANKLIN — Eleven people were arrested by Franklin police on drug charges, police said. Police said the warrants were served for illegal narcotics violations after a six-week investigation, which began after numerous complaints from community members. Police arrested the following people on the following charges (see mug shots): • Thomas J. Glines, 48, of Franklin — Felony Sales of a Controlled Drug (prescription pills) • Natasha L. Woods, 27, of Franklin, — Misdemeanor Possession of a Controlled/Narcotic Drug (marijuana) • Kyrie L. Hutchinson, 19, of Belmont — Felony Possession of Controlled/Narcotic Drugs (cocaine) • Jason Lamy, 29, of Rumney — Felony Possession of Controlled/Narcotic Drugs With Intent to Deliver (cocaine and prescription drugs) • Jeremy S.

Fire cuts kept alive as mayor breaks tie BY BETH LAMONTAGNE HALL THE UNION LEADER

MANCHESTER — Alderman Jim Roy’s proposal to eliminate the Fire Department’s six district chiefs almost died before it got to committee, but a tiebreaking vote cast by Mayor Ted Gatsas will keep the proposal alive for now. Roy, a former Manchester Fire Department captain, proposed eliminating all of the city’s district fire chiefs for a savings of $1 million, which could be used to keep 15 firefighters slated for layoffs in the mayor’s budget. It would also increase the minimum number of firefighters on duty each shift from 44 to 48 and ensure enough staffing for the use of all city fire trucks. Under Gatsas’ plan, 22 firefighters would be laid off on July 1, likely those who are the department’s most recent hires. The layoffs would reduce the number of firefighters on duty

each shift and could also reduce the number of ladder trucks available for backing up emergency calls from five trucks to three. The public will have a chance to speak publicly about the proposed layoffs and Mayor Ted Gatsas’ fiscal year 2012 budget tonight at 6 p.m. at Memorial High School. Roy also presented plans to reduce the number of captains and increase the number of lieutenants. The plan, which lacks the support of Fire Chief James Burkush, would bring major changes to the department’s chain of command. The vote to send the proposal to the Human Resources Committee ended in a tie on Tuesday, forcing the mayor to cast the deciding vote. Gatsas opted to move the item on for discussion in committee. “We’ll send it to committee because this is the process of this board,” said Gatsas. “I am shocked this (killing the plan) is the wish of some members of this board.”

I’m tired of having to pay for rescues too To the editor: ell said Mr. K., I too am very tired of having to pay for rescues that these people should be paying out of their pocket’s. Laws are in place to collect the money involved for the rescues of these poor lost souls yet are not being enforced. Yet Concord in it’s all knowing wisdom seeks to

pick my pockets again and raise the fees for the back country shelters. Let the people who use this service pay for it. Post signs at all trailheads that that state in no uncertain terms “the sheriff’s dept. handles rescues, they are long and expensive.” Richard Patry Groveton

concern, as well as numerous visitors. I would like to extend my deepest appreciation and gratitude to my family and friends who have been here for me while I recover. Thank you, thank you thank you too much! Jackie Hawkins Berlin

Once upon a Berlin Time

1963 III

Hello fellow Berlinites. Like every year around graduation time, the local newspaper announced the students who earned special honors or awards at the area high schools. Locally, we had five different schools in 1963. Some of these students were as follows: At St. Patrick’s School the valedictorian was Diane McKee and the salutatorian was Patricia Ann Nicoletti. Miss Nocoletti will be remembered as BHS English teacher Patty Piper who retired a few years ago. This Berlin school closed its doors in 1964. At Our Lady of the Mountains Academy in Gorham, Miss Diane Di Padua was named as the valedictorian and Suzanne Bourgeault was the salutatorian. This Gorham school closed its doors in 1969. For Gorham High Brett Halvorson School, the valedictorian for the year 1963 is a man who is still in the area today. His name is Robert Corrigan. At Notre Dame, the valedictorian was a lady named Sylvia Berube and the salutatorian was another young lady by the name of Lucille Baillergeon. Notre Dame’s last year in existence was 1972 Finally, the class president and valedictorian for Berlin High School was Miss Geraldine Strout. It seems like the young ladies were certainly the class leaders forty-eight years ago. During the month of June 1963, the Reverend John Bosa, who was a Berlin native, was named as the newest pastor of St. Kieran’s parish. This made Bosa the first Berlin born priest to become a pastor of a local parish. Father Bosa succeeded the Reverend Michael J. Murtagh, who had passed away earlier this year. Bosa, who was born in Berlin in 1909, was fifty-four years old. He was the son of Antonio and Angelina Molietta Bosa. After attending local schools and then St. Charles Seminary in Sherbrooke, Quebec, he went to Rome to study and was ordained there on March 19, 1937. After returning to the United States, Sylvia A. Berube Father Bosa served in the Manchester diocese. His parishes were in Keene, Milford and Concord. During World War II, Bosa served two years as a chaplain in the U. S. Army with the rank of Captain. After the termination of this war, Father Bosa was assigned to more New Hampshire parish duties, with fourteen years at St. Charles Parish in Meredith, New Hampshire, before coming back to his home town. In later years, Father Bosa was also pastor in Gorham. Father Bosa was scheduled to arrive here in Berlin on June 22, 1963 in order to begin his duties at St. Kieran’s parish. It was announced in the June 27 newspaper that local BHS football star Brett Halvorson had been selected to participate in the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl football game that

was to be held in Dartmouth’s Memorial Stadium in Hanover, New Hampshire on August 24, 1963. Halvorson, who was a stellar back for Berlin High during his high school years, had both speed and power to spare. He was considered to be a distinct asset to the New Hampshire squad. This annual contest was against the best schoolboy football players that Vermont had to offer. Mr. Halvorson went on to excel in football at Colby College in Maine. He later came back to Berlin and worked with Berlin’s youth as an educator. Brett retired from teaching at Berlin’s Hillside Elementary School several years ago. Believe it or not, 1963 was the year that the zip code plan came to Berlin and the North Country. It was the post office department’s zoning improvement strategy that was designed to speed up mail delivery. The zip code was an expansion program that was used in the metropolitan areas and identified each delivery unit with a five number code. Each post office has a zip code number and all the mail which was addressed after it went into place was to include the number after the town and state. The zip code plan was designed to permit the post office department to “short cut” repeated address readings. The department said that the addresses Father Bosa on mail had to be read as many as eight or ten times by the postal employees to get to the proper destination.

Each handling slowed the process of mail dispatch and added to the opportunity for human error. The zip code, when used, would cure this problem. The post office department figured the zip code plan could cut as much as 24 hours from the time between deposit and delivery of a piece of mail. Of course, zip code is still in existence today (2011) and Berlin was assigned the number 03570. I am not quite sure when the old King School (East Side mall today) began operations as a fire department for Berlin’s East Side. I do know that in 1928, the school was built and by 1940, the Robert E. Corrigan bottom part was in use as the East Side Fire Station. By 1963, after more than twenty three years of use, this station was in jeopardy of being closed. It was announced that during the vacation period of the summer of 1963, all firemen would be based out of Central Fire Station on Main Street. Several members of the city council and City Manager Stanley Judkins said the plan would give better fire protection during the firemen’s vacation period. Three of the Ward Four (East Side) councilmen charged that see 1963 III page 5

Jennifer St. Amant part of ‘Chicago’, a musical vaudeville CAZENOVIA, NY -- Cazenovia College’s spring musical production, “CHICAGO, A Musical Vaudeville,” will be presented at the Catherine Cummings Theatre at Cazenovia College, 16 Lincklaen Street in Cazenovia, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, April 8, 9 and 10, and Friday, Saturday and Sunday, April 15, 16 and 17. The production is directed by David Lowenstein, Cazenovia College’s artist in residence, and produced by Colleen Prossner, theatre operations manager. Among the the performers and crew members is Jennifer L. St. Amant, of Berlin, a junior, majoring in English, who is a member of the Theatre Production Team. Show times are 8 p.m. for Friday and Saturday performances, and 2 p.m. on Sundays. Admission for adults is $15; for seniors and students, $12; and ages 12 and under, $10. Tickets may be purchased at Cazenovia Jew-

elry on Albany St. in Cazenovia, or call 315-655-STAR. The CHICAGO Web site notes, “The storied tale of CHICAGO’s rise from real life court drama to certifiable Broadway smash hit is one only showbiz can claim.” The show is based on real events of 1924 in Chicago, when Beulah Annan (Roxie) was accused of killing the “intruder” Harry Kalstedt, while Belva Gaertner (Velma) was charged with murdering her husband. Chicago Tribune reporter Maurine Watkins realized the sensational appeal the two personalities could draw through her tongue-incheek reports. She subsequently turned her experience of the trial of the two women into a comedy titled CHICAGO that reached Broadway in 1926. There are two film versions of the story, the first in 1928, and the second, titled “Roxie Hart,” starred Ginger Rogers in 1942.

this was an open attempt to open the door to the ultimate elimination of a fire truck and two men in this part of Berlin. The city council adopted this plan by an 8-3 roll call vote, with the three East Side councilmen voting against it and one being absent. Manager Judkins said that it had been originally planned to hire two men on a temporary basis as vacation replacements for the summer, but this could not be accomplished because of limited funds. Judkins had recommended that eight regular firemen be on a shift at the Central Fire Station, permitting six to respond to a fire. He also admitted that the East Side Fire Station was not in good condition. One councilman said that the safety of this part of Berlin relied on the East Side Station, but a majority of the council members declared that assigning all of the men to the Central Station would give better fire protection during the summer vacation

breathing apparatus (SCBA), patient assessment, ladders and engine company operations. Once trained, members will be able to respond on actual fire and EMS emergency calls. On April 13, from 6 to 8 p.m., the Explorers will be hosting an open house at Gorham Fire & EMS Station, on 347 Main Street in Gorham. The night will include tours of the station, demonstrations of fire & EMS operations and pizza. For more information, call Derek Palmieri, Explorer Post advisor at 802-376-9728 ested, please contact James Patry, AVH public relations and marketing director, at 326-5606. James Patry AVH period. Councilman Donald Borchers of Ward 3 (Berlin Mills), pointed out that when the Berlin Mills Fire Station was closed in the earlier years, there were predictions of poorer fire protection, but no problem ever developed Chief Adelard La Branche was questioned about the East Side Fire Station and his opinion was that better protection would be given the East Side if the entire on-duty crew worked from Central headquarters during the vacation period. After all of the arguing and finger pointing, I guess that it was a good thing to ask someone who knew about this city’s fire protection. In the years that followed, the East Side Fire Station was eventually closed. I do not have the year yet, but I will find it. So, Berlin went from a three fire station city back to one, as it was in 1905. Questions or comments email poof@ ne.rr.com.

“To say receiving the Truman Scholarship is an honor is an understatement. This selection puts me in an inspiring association of people who have made a difference in public service. I hope to do the same going forward. Being the first UNH recipient ever makes it even more special,” Payette said. He credited the education system in Berlin and the opportunities he received here. “Though I have been away from Berlin for five years, the city provided me with many community service and volunteer opportunities that played a big part in shaping who I am and my public service goals going forward. Those experiences put me in a position to be nominated for the Truman. The children in the Berlin-Gorham community have always inspired me to continue to seek opportunities for America’s youth and address the issues they face,” Payette said. He is a 2000 graduate of Berlin High School where he excelled at track. After high school, he attended college for three semesters before running out of money. He worked four years as a reporter for the Berlin Daily Sun while coaching track and women’s hockey. After leaving the Daily Sun, Payette worked another three years in the newspaper business during which he enlisted in the U.S. Air National Guard where he was selected as a Student Leader. In the fall of 2009, he entered UNH. At UNH he has maintained a 4.0 grade point average while serving as a volunteer women’s hockey assistant coach. Last fall he served as

a student intern working on the Paul Hodes for U.S. Senate campaign. In October, UNH held information sessions about various scholarships available for graduate school for students with high grade point averages. Payette said he attended and decided to apply for a Truman Scholarship because its focus on public service matched his interests. Applying for a Truman Scholarship is a long and difficult process requiring about four months of writing and interviewing. It also requires the applicant to prepare a policy proposal. Payette did his on increasing physical fitness in schools to combat childhood obesity. Payette said he believes his status as a non-traditional student helped him win the scholarship. He said he has done things, such as coaching, that a typical college student hasn’t had the opportunity or time to do. He is scheduled to graduate next May. As a Truman Scholar he will then attend the Summer Institute that provides scholars with internships and seminars in Washington, D.C. Payette said he is looking at two options for his educational future. One is to pursue a graduate degree in public policy or public administration at a top college, preferable in New York City or Washington, D.C. His other option is to apply for commissioning status in the Air Force as an active duty officer and pursue his graduate degree on a part-time basis. Ultimately, Payette said he hopes to work for the federal government in a position where he can make an impact “focusing on the health, well-

Great Glen Trails ends winter season PINKHAM NOTCH -- On Sunday, April 3, Great Glen Trails ended its 2010/2011 winter season. Summer operations will begin in May.

Although the season got off to a slow start, not opening until December 18, Great Glen Trails remained open for 107 consecutive days. As soon as the snow melts, Great Glen Trails will open for biking and kayaking for the summer season. During

the summer, Great Glen Trails features a full events calendar highlighted by There’s a Black Fly in My Eye 10 Mile Trail Race in June and the 24 Hours of Great Glen in August along with spring and fall trail running series and a summer mountain bike series.

February. The budget reportedly cuts state spending by more than $700 million. “I know we’re doing what’s fiscally responsible,” said Tremblay. He added that decision is usually immensely unpopular. Tremblay was among the four members of the Coos delegation, out of 11, to vote for the budget. Representatives John Tholl, of Whitefield,; Larry Rappaport, of Colebrook,; and Duffy Daugherty, of Colebrook, voted for the budget. Representatives Gary Coulombe, of Berlin,; Robert Theberge, of Berlin,; Yvonne Thomas, of Berlin,; Bill Hatch, of Gorham,; Evalyn Merrick, of Lancaster,; Bill Remmick, of Lancaster,; Herb Richardson, of Lancaster, voted against the budget. Tremblay said he knows an additional cut of nearly $800 million is going to be painful but it’s necessary. If the legislature hadn’t done anything to reduce spending the state’s deficit would have increased significantly, said Tremblay. He added that wasn’t an option. “We have no choice,” said Tremblay. “We can’t spend money we don’t have.” Even though opponents to the budget decry the proposal for its cuts to social services, Tremblay said there is still funding left for those programs. Tremblay said there’s $3.7 billion for the Depart-

ment of Health and Human Services. He added that money should go a long way if it’s managed wisely. Another item in the house budget that’s garnered a lot of attention is the N.H. Department of Corrections’ budget. Officials said cutting the budget could result in the closing of the Berlin prison. Tremblay said he’s been told that even though the budget was passed, the D.O.C. isn’t going to close the facility. “I was assured that was not going to happen,” said Tremblay. He said without these assurances he wouldn’t have supported the budget. “The last thing this area could afford would be to lose that state prison,” said Tremblay. Even though he voted for the budget bill, Tremblay said he voted against House Bill 2 that included the collective bargaining agreement provision. The state is setting an example of living within one’s means, said Tremblay. While the budget has taken precedence over the other bills moving along in the legislature, Tremblay said a lot has been accomplished. “We’ve been doing a lot in Concord,” said Tremblay. He highlighted a few bills including one that restores local control over education funding and another than requires parental notification for abortion procedures involving juveniles; and a Constitutional amendment require a super-majority vote for any new taxes.

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are sensitive to the feelings of others; therefore, people open up around you. What you learn because of this may be surprising or even shocking. You will keep a sacred trust. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Prepare for an upcoming meeting as though you are practicing for a game. Rehearse what you’ll say. Play out different scenarios, and try to guess how the other person will react. Plan your countermove. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You take care to make others feel comfortable around you. When someone new enters your realm, you’ll immediately initiate a connection. Through your example, you’ll teach good manners to an ill-mannered world. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may start out less confident than you could be. A pep talk in the mirror will be in order. With a little extra attention to your image, you’ll come across better than you thought you could. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your many responsibilities will require you to be outgoing. Your heart remains light, even as you deliver a substantial message. You will smile and laugh your way to a successful outcome. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 7). Your eye-on-the-prize mentality will serve you well. Stay on track, and you will soon accomplish what you set out to do. In June, you’ll win one prize and be ready for a change. A new study, hobby or activity will strike your fancy. Shared adventure bonds you with a sweetie in July. August brings career luck. Aquarius and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 12, 41, 25 and 3.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your agenda may not be so easily sold on its own. But when you piggyback your plan with one that is already positioned to succeed, you’ll have a smash hit on your hands. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The same guidelines that were put in place to keep order and create safety are now stifling your freedom and limiting your joy. Investigate to see whether rules can be broken or bent to suit you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have an appropriate command of your space. You send all the right signals so that others come close when you need them to hear and see you and stay far away when you prefer to be alone. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The initial impression someone made years ago is still affecting the way you think of this person today. But something will happen to change all of that. Stay open-minded. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are bright and capable -- a natural choice to lead the group. And yet you may not feel that you want the extra responsibility that comes with the role. You’ll find a way to lead without being the official leader. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll influence those who see you as serious and knowledgeable. To help this image along, move more slowly than everyone else. Your every gesture will seem to have greater importance. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Though you look forward to having downtime when you can recharge your energy, you still have a ways to go. Take short breaks instead of long ones. Distractions abound. Remember what you came to do.

GIRL’S PROMISCUITY IS NO CAUSE FOR MOTHER’S PRIDE

DEAR ABBY: I’m the mother of two boys who are 12 and 13. The letter from “Terrified for My Niece in the Southwest” (Feb. 16) horrified me. The aunt who wrote the letter said her sister “bragged” about how popular her 14-year-old daughter is because she gives oral sex to the boys. Is this the kind of girl my sons are exposed to at school? I know kids are curious and experiment at this age, but it’s disturbing that the mother of this girl doesn’t see that her actions are dangerous and can lead to more serious sexual situations. If she were MY niece, I would speak up and let Mom know exactly how I felt in hopes that she would recognize how inappropriate her daughter’s actions are. Pregnancy can become a harsh reality to a parent who was blind to the seriousness of her child’s actions. -- YVETTE IN RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CALIF. DEAR YVETTE: Thank you for writing. Many readers were equally disturbed by that letter, and a few even questioned its authenticity. I spoke to the aunt who wrote the letter. She verified that she had written it and everything she said was true. Perhaps the following responses will serve as a wake-up call for teens AND parents: DEAR ABBY: I have been a criminal investigator for more than 38 years and can state with certainty that having sex with Naomi is a FELONY in most, if not all, states, particularly if the boy is over the age of 16. At 14, this girl is not able to give consent. What is happening is considered an act of rape, even if it is voluntary on her part. Someone needs to intervene NOW before some “innocent” boy gets charged with a crime. I’ve handled too many cases where boys have been charged with rape when the girl

gets angry at him for almost no reason. The welfare of all the children is at stake! -- “SNOOPER” IN WISCONSIN DEAR ABBY: This letter literally makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up when I think about a mother who would actually BRAG about something like this to family and do nothing about it. That mother is in desperate need of counseling, and Naomi is in desperate need of guidance because, obviously, she’s not getting any from her mom. I wonder if her dad has any idea what’s going on? -- A MOM IN GREAT FALLS, MONT. DEAR ABBY: “Terrified’s” niece is being sexually abused. It would be particularly egregious if her partners are 18 or older. For her mother to crow about her daughter’s exploits makes her an unfit parent. “Terrified” needs to take a firm stand with her sister, and if she is ignored, the authorities should be contacted. -- MIKE IN NEW YORK DEAR ABBY: This girl’s mother is abdicating her responsibilities as a parent and indirectly condoning and encouraging her daughter’s promiscuous behavior. The emotional damage could be irreparable. Naomi is being used and abused by any young man with whom she is involved. The aunt should talk to her sister and, if there is a father in the house, he needs to know about his daughter. In my opinion, that mother wants her daughter to be popular for all the wrong reasons. Mom sounds like someone who sat on the sidelines in high school and never understood that what makes a person popular is the ability to carry on an intelligent conversation, get good grades, provide community service and so on. Pity! -- BARBARA IN KALAMAZOO, MICH.
