City Council approves final 2012 budget BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – The city council Monday night approved a $37.3 million total fiscal 2012 budget that will avoid laying off any city workers and will actually result in a slight tax decrease. City officials are predicting the budget will result in a $31.45 tax rate – a decrease of 25 cents. The final tax rate will be determined this fall by the state Department of Revenue Administration. And meeting one of Mayor Paul Grenier’s major goals, it will retain the 4.5 positions that the city

manager’s budget had proposed eliminating to maintain a level tax rate. City Manager Patrick MacQueen had proposed cutting two firefighters, two public works positions, and reducing an administrative assistant position to part time. The budget approved Monday also adds $15,000 to cover part of the cost of a regional economic development director, $100,000 to cover rising heating costs, $50,000 to the county tax line item, and $23,400 to pave the parking area across from Brown School. To avoid layoffs and provide a small tax decrease the council relied on surplus in the current budget.

City officials estimate a year-end surplus of $940,000 – over $200,000 from the school department. They will use $825,000 of that as revenue in the 2012 budget. Grenier, MacQueen, and Finance Director Betty Domino met last Wednesday to hash out the final budget proposal that Grenier outlined to the council Monday night. There was unanimous support on the council for the final budget as presented. Councilor Mike Rozek said he thought the budget represented a fantastic see COUNCIL page 9

The new AMC hut is also its oldest BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

RANDOLPH — The Appalachian Mountain Club’s “newest” high hut replaces its oldest in a very “green” way. The nation’s oldest conservation and education organization on June 2 opened all eight of its mountain huts for full summer service, including its newly rebuilt Madison Spring Hut, which stands at an elevation of 4,825 feet on a col between Mounts Madison and Adams in the Northern Presidentials. It is on the same site as AMC’s original Madison Spring Hut, built in 1888 just 12 years after the club’s found-

ing in 1876. “We opened on time, after working through the fall, and then resuming work in March. We had full houses for Friday and Saturday of opening weekend,” said AMC huts manager Eric Pedersen. “Certainly, any project which takes place above treeline has its challenges, but looking back now and knowing the hit is open, we can say it went smoothly,” said Pedersen, a hut crew member since college in 2004, who has served as huts manager for the past five years. Said Pedersen of the rebuild, “We hope that this hut will last a very long time.” see AMC page 3

Local woman indicted Council votes to support ATV festival for sexual assault BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

LANCASTER — A Berlin woman was indicted by a Coös Grand Jury on Friday, on charges she provided a teen with alcohol before engaging in sexual activity with the youth. Vicki Valerino, 39, is accused of providing a 15 year old with vodka and then having sex with the teen. The incident is alleged to have

taken place during the month of July 2010, in Berlin. She was indicted on a charge of felonious sexual assault, a class B felony, and a class A misdemeanor charge of prohibited sales. Harry Jones, 61, of Whitefield, faces numerous felony charges and a misdemeanor see INDICTED page 7

BERLIN -- The city council Monday night agreed to contribute $2,000 to this year’s Jericho Park ATV festival. René Boutin, vice president of the Androscoggin Valley ATV Club, requested a $500 donation from the city to help cover the cost of organizing and running the festival. He explained that last year the state received a $30,000 grant to put the festival on. Boutin noted it was considered a great success, attracting two to three thousand people for the two day event. This year the state has

turned the festival over to the club to run. Boutin said the club is trying to raise $16,000 to cover the cost of putting the festival on. Can-Am has agreed to sponsor the event and is putting up $6,500. Boutin said he and other club members have been going around trying to get other donations. He said so far the club has raised about half the amount needed. He said the money will be used to cover items like permits, security, and electricity. The festival is scheduled to run July 30 and 31 at the park. The popular mud pit will be back, there will be manufacturer demo rides,

Tests: U.S. students remain poor at history (NY Times) — American students are less proficient in their nation’s history than in any other subject, according to results of a nationwide test released on Tuesday, with most fourth graders unable to say why Abraham Lincoln was an important figure. Over all, 20 percent of fourth graders, 17 percent of eighth graders and 12 percent of high school seniors demonstrated proficiency on the exam, the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Federal officials said they were encouraged by a slight increase in eighth-grade scores since the last administration of the history test, in 2006. Diane Ravitch, an education historian who was invited by the national assessment’s governing board to review the results, said she was particularly disturbed by the fact that only 2 percent of 12th graders correctly answered a question concerning Brown v. Board of Education. Students were given an excerpt including the passage “We conclude that in the field of public education, separate but equal has no place, separate educational facilities are inherently unequal,” and were asked what social problem the 1954 ruling was supposed to correct. “The answer was right in front of them,” Ms. Ravitch said. “This is alarming.”

Wildfire is largest in Arizona’s history ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

(NY Times) — As of Tuesday morning, the fire had burned more than 469,000 acres, surpassing the 468,000 acres torched in the 2002 Rodeo-Chediski Fire, which affected an area not far away in Arizona’s White Mountains. The big difference between the two megafires, though, has been the damage. The Wallow Fire has been far less destructive than its predecessor, destroying only 31

homes compared with 465 lost a decade ago. The Wallow Fire is named after the Bear Wallow Wilderness in the Apache and Sitgreaves National Forests, where the fire is believed to have started after a campfire blew out of control on May 29. The fire was 18 percent contained as of Tuesday morning, which firefighters said represented major progress, even though containing the fire could still remain weeks away.

“As far and wide and long as this fire is, 18 percent contained is small, but it’s something and it shows a lot of work has been done,” said Helene Holguin, a spokeswoman for the multiagency firefighting effort. Residents from Eagar and Springerville, two Arizona communities on the northern edge of the fire, were allowed to return to their homes on Sunday after several days away.

Adoptions by gay couples Fleeing Syrians take refuge along border with Turkey rise, in spite of barriers (NY Times) — Growing numbers of gay couples across the country are adopting, according to census data, despite an uneven legal landscape that can leave their children without the rights and protections extended to children of heterosexual parents. Same-sex couples are explicitly prohibited from adopting in only two states — Utah and Mississippi — but they face significant legal hurdles in about half of all other states, particularly because they cannot legally marry in those states. Despite this legal patchwork,

(NY Times) — The scenes on both sides of the border, a 520-mile frontier that Syrians can cross without visas, brought yet another dimension to the three-month rebellion against the government of President Bashar al-Assad. The repressive force of the state unfolded Tuesday, with the military expanding its deployment to restive regions in the north and east and security forces making more arrests, along with the consequences of thousands of lives uprooted. In wrenching scenes, occasionally playing out under rare but torrential summer rains, some of the Syrians here spoke of the pain of flight in a region where land — and the attachment to it — stands as one of the most visceral notions of belonging. “They think we are refugees, but we are not,” said a man seeking shelter on the Syrian side of the border. “We have everything — our houses, properties and memories there. What would happen if we enter Turkey now and, when it’s time to return, find everything gone in our absence?”

A “Spirit of Madison” capital campaign was launched for the project, of which $1.5 million has been raised. The fund-raising campaign continues with the goal of creating an endowment for educational materials and maintenance, according to AMC public affairs director Rob Burbank. The project was four years between the conceptualizing, designing, fundraising, planning and building. “One million was for the construction, and a half million was for the endowment,” Burbank this week. Burbank said that the original 1888built structure has been replaced with various configurations over the years. The new, rebuilt hut replaces the one that was rebuilt in 1941, following an October 1940 fire that destroyed all but the stonework of a structure that was built at the site in 1929. The rebuild, according to Pedersen and Burbank, preserves the 1929 core of the hut, including stone walls and foundation, while upgrading systems and layout for 21st century use. “The first phase of the renovation preserved the historic 1929 core of the hut and the stone walls of the bunk rooms, and replaces existing flush toilets with a more environmentally advanced waterless system,” said Burbank. Sleeping capacity hasn’t changed, remaining at 52, but a new floor plan makes efficient use of AMC-owned land on the Mount Madison side of the hut and now offers a more comfortable dining room and sitting area. From there, guests may take in views of the Durand Ridge-Air Line and the town of Randolph in the valley below. The renovations to the hut comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Improvements to alternative energy systems have also been incorporated. *** In a recent article in AMC Outdoors, Burbank quoted AMC director of outdoor program centers Paul Cunha as saying that the rebuild was undertaken to improve the structure’s green profile while also making it more comfortable. “Madison Spring Hut has seen a lot of years and a lot of use since the current hut was last rebuilt,” says Cunha. “This new project is designed to provide a more energy efficient and environmentally sensitive hut, in keeping with AMC’s Green Promise of sustainable operations.” Guests will now experience more leg room and elbow room in key areas. The height of bunks in the bunkrooms has also been reduced. “Returning guests and new visitors will notice new floors, walls, tables, and a comfortable dining area with expansive views to the north and west, along with renovated bunk rooms. Bunks formerly stacked four high have been shortened to three tiers,” notes Burbank. Cunha, Burbank and Pedersen all say the project has been designed to preserve and honor the historical integrity of the building. Lumber, native white cedar shingles, and other construction materials were purchased from local suppliers, notes Burbank. “Spruce framing timbers were harvested off the Kancamagus Highway in the White Mountain National Forest and sawn at a local mill. Pine sheathing was milled locally from locally grown wood, and cedar shingles were locally sourced as well. Local procure-

ment supports the local economy and requires relatively short distances and less fuel to transport materials to the job site than if they had been shipped from farther away. That results in fewer carbon emissions, which speaks to AMC’s ‘Green Promise’ of minimizing environmental impacts,” says Burbank. The AMC also hired additional contractors from the local community to work with AMC crews. The rebuilding project was designed by LDa Architecture and Interiors, LLP of Cambridge, Mass. *** The rebuild at Madison Spring Hut is the first major rebuild since the AMC rebuilt Galehead Hut in 1999, with that rebuilt hut reopening for the 2000 season, according to Burbank. “Our construction crews do maintenance on an ongoing basis, but this project at Madison is certainly our biggest project since the rebuild at Galehead,” said Burbank. Crews worked to get the structure enclosed quickly, and were able to do the interior work, out of the harshness of the weather. “We had our first snow in late September,” said Pedersen, “and the weather is always a bit more severe up there than down in the valley. The water lines started freezing, and you always have the high winds, freezing rain and snow. We worked up until mid-November. When we went back up in late March, we were dealing with deep snow.” The crews worked in two teams, with each team putting in four or five days a week in 10- to 12-hour shifts. Helicopters were used to port in supplies — underscoring the need for sound planning, notes Pedersen. “Being four miles from the road requires that you make sure you have planned every last detail and that you have airlifted the proper supplies or tools, because once you’re up there, you can’t just say you need this or that,” said Pedersen. *** As with all eight of the AMC’s eight huts, the rebuilt Madison uses alternative energy, including solar photovoltaics and wind power. “We use solar photovoltaics for the electricity for the lighting, refrigeration, water pumps and for emergency radios,” said Burbank. Each of the AMC’s huts are staffed by a six-person “croo,” as the crew is traditionally spelled in keeping with longstanding AMC custom. The Madison crew is quickly learning the intricacies of the new hut, notes the Madison post on hutsblog.outdoors. org. “Between the six crew members, they’ve all worked prior seasons in the huts — three have been hutmasters, four have been assistant hutmasters, two have been naturalists and combined, they’ve worked at all seven other huts,” notes the blogger. “So, there are two great reasons to come and visit Madison this summer: we have a beautiful new hut and a friendly, experienced and energetic crew. Although this is a new chapter in the huts, the tradition that was started at Madison years ago, of offering high mountain hospitality to all, is as strong as ever. Here’s to a great summer and to the spirit of Madison,” notes the

blogger. *** New book published on AMC’s high huts In Appalachian Mountain Club Books’ new pocket-sized book, “Passport to AMC’s High Huts in the White Mountains” written by Ty Wivell, a brief history of the hut system is provided, including of Madison Spring. “The huts provide visitors much more than hearty meals and a comfortable bunk,” writes Wivell. “They also serve as centers for eduction, conservation, and mountain leadership. Each hut croo has a resident naturalist who presents educational talks about the surrounding wilderness and AMC’s commitment to environmental stewardship. Naturalists encourage participation from youth through the Junior Naturalist program and from all visitors through its Mountain Watch ‘citizen scientist ‘ initiative, a volunteer-based, long-term study of air quality and forest and alpine plants. At the forefront of AMC’s conservation efforts is Green Promise, a longstanding commitment to sustainable operations and minimizing impact to the backcountry.” The book includes a chapter on the late and legendary Joseph P. Dodge, “Father of the AMC Hut System.” Dodge became hutmaster at Pinkham Notch Camp in 1922. In 1928, he was named huts manager. He served until 1959, overseeing the development of the eight huts, each spaced a day’s hike apart. Later a Conway selectman and host of WBNC’s “Morning Weather Show” daily weather rating system, he died at his Conway home on the West Side in 1973. “No one has had a more profound influence on AMC’s high huts than Joe Dodge,” writes Wivell. “For 37 years, this legendary huts manager enthusiastically embraced AMC’s aspira-

tions and transformed a loosely knit collection of mountain refuges into an exemplary chain of huts devoted to ‘tramping and mountain hospitality.’ Above all, through example and a genuine affinity for the people in his employ, Dodge forged a quality of service that continues to inspire the hut system to this day.” “Somehow, he also managed to cofound the Mount Washington Weather Observatory [in 1932],” writes Wivell. In order from west to east, the hut system and the dates each hut was built includes: Lonesome Lake (1930), Greenleaf (1930), Galehead (1932), Zealand Falls (1932), Mizpah Spring (1965), Lakes of the Clouds (1915), Madison Spring (1888), and Carter Notch (1914). About Madison Spring, Wivell writes: “Madison Spring Hut was an immediate success [after its 1889 opening]. Despite its modest accommodations — simple bunks with pine bough bedding, few utensils, and a sturdy woodstove — it greatly appealed to men and women of more adventurous spirits. Less spirited were the ‘cloddish manners’ of some visitors who, on more than one occasion, vandalized the hut and ripped up the floor boards or hacked down nearby trees to use for firewood. These early incidents informed the AMC’s building approach to conservation and mountain hospitality.” Writes Wivel of the hut system today: “AMC’s chain of eight high huts is a model for mountain hospitality, stewardship, and backcountry adventure. Since laying its first stone at Madison Spring in 1888, AMC has worked to fulfill its mission of promoting the protection, enjoyment and understanding of the mountain environment with the some vigor that inspired its founders more than a century ago.” For information about the club and the hut system, visit www.outdoors.org or call 466-2727.

Republicans downshift $114 million onto the backs of New Hampshire taxpayers To the editor: When elected to a super majority last fall, Republicans in the New Hampshire Legislature promised to cut the state budget without: downshifting costs to local communities; raising taxes; nor resorting to budget gimmicks. Guess what? Six months into their reign, the Republicans have broken their promises on all three points. The irresponsible budget passed by the House this spring sends to the cities and towns a $114 million bill to be paid by the property tax payers. For the 2012-2013 biennium budget, direct state aid to cities and towns in the forms of education funding, environmental grants, highway funds, revenue and tax sharing and retirement contributions is $114 million less for the next two years than it is in the current biennium. Do you not agree that it is a recklessly big bill to pass onto your property taxes when you were promised no downshifting and no tax increases? While the Republicans promised not to increase taxes, they have done just that, raising taxes on both individuals and businesses. Republicans have added what amounts to an income tax on 50,000 teachers, firefighters, police, municipal and state workers. And even worse, they have used this income tax not to help reduce the retirement system’s unfunded liability which they are always talk-

ing about, but to avoid the state’s responsibility to support local communities. Along with an income tax on public employees, the Republicans have also increased taxes on hospitals. These hospitals, which are almost all non-profits, are being asked to pay $115 million in taxes in the next two years. In many communities, such as Berlin, hospitals are among the largest employers. This huge tax increase will result in program closures and job losses. It also will lead to higher health care costs for those of us with private insurance as the hospitals seek to recover losses imposed by the Republican tax increase. Finally, the Republicans also broke their promise not to use gimmicks to balance the budget. Their irresponsible budget raids the special account in the retirement system that is supposed to cover cost of living adjustments and shifts the responsibility for funding retirement benefits to employees. The Republican super majority passed tax decreases on the House floor and then immediately put them “on the table,” a purely political gimmick. They admitted, on the House floor, that they were calling a “fee” increase a “tuition” increase just to avoid political damage. Among the most cynical of their budget tricks is to give businesses a large tax exemption, but not to have it take effect until the see DOWNSHIFT page 5

Watching The Republicans I’m writing this on Monday for publication on Wednesday, so what I’m writing about will already have taken place. While that bothers me a little, I’m going ahead anyway. Tonight in Manchester the Republican candidates for president in 2912, that is, the ones who have already declared themselves, will be on CNN for their first debate. Leading the pack will be Mitt Romney, the ex-governor of Massachusetts, who is leading the polls with about 24 percent in favor. While that is significant, an undeclared candidate, Sarah Palin, is polling at 20 percent, which is a statistical tie. Go Mitt! But given the decalared candidates, Mitt’s lead seems reasonable. There are some others who have declared that would seem to have little or no chance of winning the Republican nomination. There is the perennial candidate, Texas Representative Ron Paul, who, since he is against nearly everything, has a certain appeal for many of us. He may be joined by his son, Rand Paul, the newly elected senator from Kentucky, who has also indicated an interest in running. Maybe a joint Paul ticket would be a good thing for the Republican Party. Ron for top dog, Rand for second top dog. It has a certain ring too it, Eh! Of course, not all the Republican candidates are jokers like the Pauls. There is Tim Pawlenty, the former governor of Minnesota, who us definitely in and running hard. He’ll be in the debate in Manchester as a kind of Romney without the warts. He, like Romney, is a two term governor of a major state. He never pushed for and got a health care plan passed which looks a lot like the one Obama championed and got passed in 2009-10. Pawlenty does not have to make the difficult

argument that Romney does that while his plan seems to be working well. The Obama plan is a failure because it mandates a fee be levied on those who refuse to participate and buy insurance. How these two work out their differences (if they ever do) will be interesting to watch. Also on the bill tonight is the perennial “black” guy. This time its Herman Cain, a business man who runs a pizza company. While I’ve never seen Cain operate as a candidate, I understand that he is pretty good at presenting his point of view. While he has no chance of succeeding, he should be fun to watch. And them, of course, is the continued candidacy of ol’ favorite Newt Gingrich. When Newt’s whole campaign staff up and quit last week, they may have thought he would fold up. But no! Newt will be on the podium tonight making the argument that he’s the one to lead the country out of the wilderness. It seems that Newt and his wife, Calista, believe they have a finger on the country’s pulse. They won’t preach austerity and slashing programs like the other candidates will. Nope. Their pitch will be keep a half million dollar account open at Tiffany’s and take a two-week cruise to the Greek Islands in order to clear your mind for a “Great Ordeal” like running the country. Good luck Newt! I like your style even though I hate your politics. Well that is some, not all, of the candidates on stage tonight in Manchester. I know I should be watching. But! The Boston Bruins are playing the sixth game of the Stanley Cup series against the hated Vancouver Canucks at eight. Oh well, I’ll be able to read all about the debate tomorrow. Eh!

Taxpayers of NH, it’s time to wake up to reality of NP project To the editor: Tax payers of New Hampshire it’s time to wake up and take a good look at what is happening in regards the Northern Pass Project. The intent of the project is to supply clean renewable and less expensive energy to a million plus households. To do so means using one hundred fifty foot wide ROA to allow erecting towers and transmission lines at the same time creating wildlife habitat and upgrading the infrastructure of New England. The protesters had many arguments against this project most of which lacked credibility, it seems the major reasons for protest are negative visual impact and what is referred to as land grab. What the project wants is an easement which allows them to use the land and the landowners to still use it. As I travel and see other transmission lines I find them not as ugly as the protesters portray them. The negative visual impact I believe is much more negative in the eyes of the imagination than in real life. I believe most people view these lines as a necessary means to transmit power from one place to another. There is a lot of good scenery left. It seems that most of us that are either neutral or for the project have neglected to go to any of the public meetings. Therefore we have been seeing only the views of the

protesters. There has been no broad view of the tax benefits associated with this project. The tax benefi ts will be extensive, for example, towns affected will receive two thousand ninety dollars per acre yearly in tax revenue. Coos County will receive $762,000 yearly in tax revenue, the state education fund will receive $7183628 yearly in tax revenue. It would deny Franklin $4,200,000 in annual tax revenue. That would be huge for Franklin. Think of how it also would help them in bringing new business to their town. My hat is off to the senate for taking their time to asses the total impact of the project. To pass HB648 and deny the project is to ask for a huge view subsidy from all the tax payers of the state. The intent of eminent domain is to prevent the wants of few from denying the needs of many. There are many things in this project to consider besides the claims being made by the protest. To stop the project will deny all tax payers in NH these benefits and if that happens we may never get another opportunity for tax relief that would compare with this. Unless you want to give up these tax benefits its time for the rest of us tax payers to make our voice heard. James Lawrence Columbia

Canoes, kayaks, motorboats, rafts and anything else that floats are all welcomed. Registration costs $10 per boat and includes a shuttle service and t-shirt. Participants can register online at www.androscogginwatershed.org and click on events or the morning of the 18, at Nansen Wayside Park where the Float will begin making its way downriver to the Northern Forest Heritage Park. Registration at Nansen starts at 8:30 a.m. with motor boats departing at 10 a.m. and paddle boats following at 10:30 a.m. Shuttle services will be available to allow paddlers to bring their vehicles to the Heritage Park before the Boat Float begins. A limited number of canoes and kayaks will be available at no cost this year, but please bring your own if you have a boat. Ferg Lea from the Androscoggin Watershed Council challenged, “Let’s see how many boats we can get out to enjoy and celebrate our mighty Androscoggin! Last year, the people down river in Bethel managed to get about 22 paddlecraft on the river, so it would be great to beat that as we celebrate the river.” Phoebe Backler of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail added, “And why not decorate your boat with the “Luck of the Draw” theme for the River Day festival?” As the Boat Float docks at the Northern Forest Heritage Park, Dick Huot, the park’s director noted that the park will be humming with River Day/Wingzilla activities that include seminars, workshops, aquatic displays and a selection of films from Northern Forest Canoe Trail’s film DOWNSHIFT from page 4

festival. There will be plenty of delicious food thanks to WINGZILLA, a BBQ Chicken Wing Cook-Off competition. And you can try your hand in the “Luck of the Draw” Horse Shoe Tournament. The family friendly Block Party continues into the evening with entertainment by Plan B! The sponsors remind you that the river is a regional resource as is the Northern Forest Heritage Park. Collectively they noted that the event is a great opportunity to kick off the season on the water. They suggest challenging your friends, relatives, co-workers, and fellow camp owner’s association members to decorate their boat or other floatable device– see who has the most interesting. Who will have bragging rights for best float? Or for human powered craft, challenge them to a friendly race to the finish. Or see what wild and crazy idea you can come up with for something else that floats. And for paddlers out there, don’t miss the Paddlefest on the Connecticut River on July 25, (visit www. greatnh.org for more info). A free raffle for a paddle jacket donated by L.L. Cote will be drawn for those who participate in both paddling events! Remember, motorized craft are also welcome in the River Day Boat Float. A raffle for a half day Whitewater Trip donated by North Woods Rafting and a Pontoon Boat Tour by Northern Forest Heritage Park will be drawn from all participants in the Boat Float. For information on the schedule for the day, visit www.northernforestheritage.org or call NFHP at 603752-7202. For more on water fun, paddlers can visit NFCT’s Calendar of Events at www.northernforestcanoetrail.org for activities from New York to Maine, and can check out www.androscogginwatershed.org for information on Androscoggin River Source to the Sea Trek. integrity. Too bad they broke those promises so soon. However, voters are not stupid! Our constituency knows this budget is too extreme for New Hampshire and will not repeat the same mistake twice. Rep.

and 80 miles of trail for riders to check out. While the event was free last year, Boutin said the club will charge a $3 entry fee to raise money to fund the event next year. After some discussion, members of the council suggested increasing the donation to $2,000. Councilor Michael Rozek said he thought the event was very successful last year and resulted in good publicity for the city. “We need to do everything we can to promote that park,” he said, arguing in favor of the donation. Mayor Paul Grenier said he favored giving the club $2,000 for the festival. The mayor said the festival was handed off to the local club which he said is trying to run it with no state funds or professional staff. “I think we need to support them,” he said. Lucie Remillard said she believes the park as it develops will make a difference in the community. The council voted to take the $2,000 out of the council’s contingency fund. In other business: * Superintendent of Schools Corinne Cascadden reported the school district is in the process of sorting out items stored in the Marston School basement and in the Junior High storage rooms. She said those rooms have become dumping grounds for all kinds of

old furniture and equipment. The department has put together a list of surplus school furniture to offer to other city departments, local child care centers, and public sale. They also have a dumpster of scrap metal that she said might generate a small revenue. Cascadden asked if the school department could keep any revenue generate by the sale of the surplus items and the scrap metal and use it to upgrade the sound system at the Junior High auditorium. The council agreed although Grenier said to be legal the revenue will have to go into the city’s general fund and be appropriated to the school district. Rozek commended the school administration for cleaning out the buildings and opening up the space. “I think it’s great work,” he said. * Last week, the council and Local 1444 reached agreement on a new 2-year contract for Public Works employees. The contract grants two percent pay increases for each year. The employees will continue to pick up 20 percent of health insurance premiums but agreed to switch from a point of service plan to a high deductible HMO with the city setting up a health savings account using the savings to cover the cost of the deductible. The city projects $44,582 in savings for the first year of the contract and a cost of $33,132 in year two for a net savings of $12,452.

collaboration between elected and appointed officials. He noted he was a proponent of a tax cut but also was happy to see the final budget allowed the city to keep the four positions. He said the fire fighters positions are a matter of safety and said the public works employees are needed too. “I think this is an absolutely terrific budget,” Rozek said. For his part, Grenier recognized the councilors for the work and long hours they have spent on the budget. The mayor noted the councilors are paid little and serve because they love their community. “You are all to be commended for the hard work done on this budget,” he said.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A project will demand much of you. You will win the prize for “the most stamina.” You will keep going until there is no one else left standing, and you’ll continue for many hours beyond that point. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Though you’ve tried to be economical in your dealings, you now realize there is a degree of waste that must happen in order for you to create your new reality. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Monkeys and birds preen constantly. Goats like you are not as worried about appearances, though you’ll do something extra in this department now -like get a haircut or take an extra-long bath. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Who will do your bidding? When you are willing and able, you usually do it yourself. Once in a while, it’s nice to know you can trust someone else to do it for you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The one who finishes first is not the winner. The winner will be determined by some other criteria more subtle and strange -- for instance, the one who involves the most senses while listening. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 15). In the past, you might have deemed a circumstance as “unfair” and written it off as simply the way the world works. This year will be different. You’ll organize your world the way you want it and turn the fortunes in your favor. Your keen mind, practical ideas and network of connections make it all possible. Capricorn and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 48, 32, 11 and 6.

by Richard Thompson

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your way is no better or worse; it just is. As long as it works for you, it works -period. Try not to compare yourself to others in any way for the next 48 hours. Focus instead on your own scene. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will bring your very best efforts to the table. You’ll do what you can in the moment, and when the moment is gone, you’ll say, “Well, I did what I could.” And you’ll be right. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a time you have only a dim recollection of, and if you think hard, you’ll remember it even less. Such a time will only be remembered when you relax and enjoy yourself. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll put on a good face for your friends. Is that really you? An internal struggle rages on, a battle between who you think you should be and who you essentially are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your mood: content. There is nothing to need or want, and that’s a good feeling. Tomorrow your ambition kicks in anew, so enjoy the present peaceful mental state. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You would love to witness a mystical happening. As imaginative and openminded as you are, you would handle such a breach of the agreed-upon reality quite well. Hold on to hope, and such an event could happen today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your steady approach to domestic matters makes your home a place of peace and tranquility. The stability you provide is a gift and is more necessary than you know.

FAN OF HOLLYWOOD WONDERS IF ROMANCE IS JUST A DREAM

DEAR ABBY: I come from a Third World country and live as a legal alien in San Francisco. I grew up reading great American authors, watching American TV and Hollywood movies, so I thought I had a good understanding about your Western societal structure. I have made many friends in this wonderful city, but the women here drive me crazy. I am a romantic at heart, but not desperate. However, my gestures are often misunderstood. One time I gave a feminist/radical girl a book about the feminist movement and she freaked out. She said she wasn’t looking for anything serious and didn’t want me to expect anything from her. Abby, it was just a book, not a diamond ring. I was in a relationship for four months. It was fine, until I told her I was madly in love with her. She freaked out and said she didn’t want to get tied down. I was dumbfounded and heartbroken. A few months later, I started dating again and met an incredible woman who made my heart skip a beat. I enjoyed being with her so much I sent flowers to her workplace. She freaked out, too. Am I being completely ignorant to believe in romance? Or is there something wrong with ME? -- CALIFORNIA DREAMER DEAR DREAMER: There isn’t anything “wrong” with you, but I suspect you’re coming on a bit too strong, too quickly. Life in the United States isn’t the way it’s depicted in novels, television and Hollywood movies. Getting to know someone takes time -- so take more time before declaring you’re madly in love. And the next time you feel the urge to give someone

flowers, send them to her home because some professional women prefer to keep their private lives separate from where they work. DEAR ABBY: My husband of 27 years has been having chemotherapy for lymphoma off and on for two years. Friends and neighbors call him often. However, not one of them has ever asked me how I’m doing. I understand the awkwardness of emotional conversations, but it deeply disappoints me that people act as though my husband’s cancer doesn’t affect me. What’s the best way for us to care for each other? We are all so fragile and vulnerable. -- HURTING TOO IN HAWAII DEAR HURTING TOO: I agree. The answer is for people to realize that life-threatening diseases affect the entire family, not just the patient. In your case, if someone asks how your husband is doing, you should say, “’John’ is doing well so far, but his illness has been very stressful for me. Thanks for asking.” It may start the conversation you want to have. However, if it doesn’t, you should check out the American Cancer Society’s website, www.cancer.org, which lists the location of support groups everywhere. It would be helpful for you emotionally and spiritually to join a group of caregivers who are coping with what you have been experiencing. DEAR ABBY: An acquaintance recently announced that she’s pregnant. None of us were aware that she was in a relationship. Is there a polite way to find out who the father is? -- JUST CURIOUS IN NEW MEXICO DEAR CURIOUS: I can think of two ways: The first is to wait for her to tell you. The other is to just ask.

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
