AG says 2009 home invasion shooting justified BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN — The victim of a 2009 home invasion was officially cleared by the Attorney General’s Office for fatally shooting one of the armed gunmen who broke in and assaulted him. In a release issued on June 30, the AG’s office concluded that “Robert Burrill’s use of deadly force was lawfully justified.” Burrill and his girlfriend Samantha Burns, were in their

Third Avenue apartment on Nov. 25, when three men burst into the residence demanding drugs, electronics and money. Nathaniel Stringfield, 23, of Berlin was killed in the incident, while his accomplice Christhian Badillo, 28, of Berlin was seriously wounded. The third man, Dennis Ford, 20, also of Berlin, was reportedly unarmed when they entered the home, but authorities believe he picked up a gun that had been dropped by Badillo when he was shot

by Burrill and fired shots that additionally injured Badillo. According to statements and evidence, at least two of the men were armed, although Stringfield is believed to have been wielding a BB gun that resembled a real firearm. That BB gun was the only weapon, other than Burrill’s, recovered by police , according to the AG’s office. Stringfield was shot fatally, once in the back. Badillo was shot twice in the head and once in the chest. Police believe that Burrill fired only two rounds given the forensic evidence recovered. Burrill said he was relieved that the

final report has been released and is happy he was cleared of any wrongdoing. “It feels good to know it’s finally out and it’s pretty much over,” he said. “I’ve been waiting for this thing to finally be done. Burrill said the events from that night have had a ripple effect in his life. “It’s been hard on my family,” he said, noting that they remain in Berlin and are fearful since one of the perpetrators remained free. “There is still the Badillo thing,” he said. “I know Ford is doing his time and, of course, Stringfield paid the ultimate price,” Burrill said, noting that see SHOOTING page 6

Lost and Found; Hikers on Ice Gulch trail in Randolph Two local hikers were rescued on the Ice Gulch trail in Randolph shortly after midnight Thursday morning. Fish and Game Conservation Officer Glen Lucas said Glen Crystal Larose, 25, and Richard King, 26, of Berlin had done some research indicating the hike took an average of four hours to complete. The pair started on the trail around noon Wednesday, expecting to return at about 4 p.m. When the two had reached mile four of the six mile trek as night was setting in, they realized they had made a mistake and called for help. The pair did not have flashlight or headlights

with them. At around 12:45 a.m. the hikers were found by members of the Randolph Mountain Club and helped down the trail. Lucas said the hikers suffered no injuries other than embarrassment. The Fish and Game officer said the incident is another reminder for hikers to bring all equipment necessary for hiking, day or night. On an average summer in Coos County, he said, there are approximately five unprepared hiking parties who are overwhelmed by darkness and have to be retrieve by officials. Being responsible makes the day on the trail more enjoyable and safe, Lucas concluded.

BERLIN –Imagine a downtown with lots of shops and cafes, with daily activities and nighttime entertainment. People could dine outdoors while listening to live music or shop for men’s clothing at one of the many busy stores. Approximately 50 people shared their vision for the downtown Wednesday at the first of two listening session for the downtown action strategy project called Moving Downtown Forward. The city and Berlin Main Street Program have garnered over $80,000 to hire a team of consultants to develop an action plan to revitalize the downtown. Consultants Jay Poulin of HEB

Engineering, Stuart Arnett of Arnett Developing Group, and landscape architect and planner John Wacker stressed they are not interested in putting together another study of the downtown. “We really want to develop an action plan,” said Poulin. The team noted they are combining both downtown design with an economic study – an approach they said has not been done before in the state. Wacker said the downtown needs an economic boost to get people downtown and to fill up the vacant buildings. “There’s a lot to work with here,” Arnett noted. For the purposes of the project, the see DOWNTOWN page 8

Androscoggin headwaters project completes first phase BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

ERROL -- The first phase of a multi-phase project to protect the headwaters of the Androscoggin River is completed with the addition of just under 3,000 acres to the Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge. Last month, U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen announced the project had been awarded $2.24 million in federal

Fashion meets fishing

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– DIGEST––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

CAPE NEDDICK, Me. (NY Times) — The most enthusiastic customers at the Eldredge Brothers Fly Shop of late are not looking to buy fly fishing reels or snag stripers. They are here to make a fashion statement. In an improbable collision of cutting-edge chic and a hobby that requires drab waders, fly fishing shops around the country are suddenly inundated with stylish women looking to get in on the latest trend: long, colorful feathers that are bonded or clipped into hair. Demand for the feathers, before now exclusively the domain of fly fishermen, who use them to tie flies, has created a shortage, forcing up the price and causing fly shops and hairdressers to compete for the elusive plumes. “I’ve been out for probably a month,” said Bill Thompson, the owner of North Country Angler in North Conway. “There is that worry that next year, fishermen won’t have materials they’ll need.” The circumstances are especially strange because a proudly stodgy and traditionbound industry content to hide from the world beyond the river is competing in this niche marketplace with a fad that may not last as long as a trout’s spawning season. “For someone to use them as a fashion statement is just sacrilegious,” said Bob Brown, 65, a fly fisherman who lives in an recreational vehicle parked in Kennebunk, Maine.

U.S. to look at two detainee deaths, drops wider inquiry

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

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The Justice Department, after years of criticism over its inaction in probing the C.I.A.’s interrogation tactics against terrorism suspects, announced on Thursday that it was opening a full criminal investigation into the deaths of two detainees who died in American custody. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. announced that he had accepted a recommendation from a specially appointed prosecutor, John Durham, who said there was enough evidence

of wrongdoing to warrant a full investigation. However, further investigation into the treatment of nearly 100 other terrorism detainees who were held overseas in American custody was “not warranted,” Mr. Holder said. Renewed attention to the issue of C.I.A. interrogations — after the controversial issue had all but disappeared from public debate — is sure to set off a range of difficult legal and political issues for the Justice Department, the C.I.A. and politicians on both sides of the aisle.

Greek Parliament approves implementation of austerity plan ATHENS (NY Times) — Greek lawmakers voted on Thursday to fast-track implementation of the country’s new austerity measures , clearing the way for Greece’s foreign lenders to unlock the next installment of aid the bankrupt country needs to meet expenses through the summer.

The vote followed a momentous day on Wednesday, when members of Parliament narrowly approved the package of spending cuts, tax increases and the sale of government assets, as riots erupted in the streets surrounding Parliament. The complex implementation bill passed, with all 154 of the

ruling Socialists plus one conservative deputy voting yes, 136 against, and five blank ballots and four abstentions. The centerright New Democracy opposition party opposed the bill in principle, as it had the measures themselves, saying they included too much austerity and would not help Greece return to growth.

CHICAGO (NY Times) — With only hours remaining before most Minnesota services will shut down if the state does not approve a new budget, political leaders met behind closed doors on Thursday but emerged again with no deal on a spending plan and no signs of a resolution in sight. And so, on the eve of a holiday weekend, Minnesotans were bracing for the possibility that the state’s parks and the Minnesota Zoo will be closed, hunting and fishing licenses will not be issued, and the state’s lottery system and racetracks will shut down. By Thursday afternoon, workers were already closing the state’s 84 major rest areas along highways. Thousands of state workers were preparing to be sent home without pay, and contractors were getting ready to walk away from a hundred road construction projects that are underway. While the budget year begins on Friday in many states, Minnesota was one of several that had yet to seal a deal by Thursday afternoon, but was one of the few in the nation making immediate preparations for a shutdown.

N.H. soldier dies from injuries suffered while in Afghanistan EAST KINGSTON — A soldier from East Kingston died this month after an insurgent attack on his unit in Afghanistan, the Department of Defense announced Thursday. Spc. Nicholas Bernier, 21, died Saturday of injuries he suffered June 22 when his unit was attacked in Kherwar, Afghanistan. Bernier was flown to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, where he died. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division. His uncle said he worked hard while in the Army to become a nurse and combat medic. In East Kingston on Thursday, flags were flying at half-staff. “To pay respect we immediately lowered the flag to half-staff,” said Fire Chief Ed Warren. “We haven’t had a chance yet to contact the family, but we’ll be supporting them in any way that we can. The whole town will be and helping them through this situation.” At Exeter High School, where Bernier graduated in 2007, he as remembered as a nice, somewhat quiet

student who swam on the school’s swim team. In 2008, Bernier followed in his parents’ footsteps and joined the Army. He spent much of his time in the service in Texas treating troops as they came home after being injured overseas. His uncle said that about a month and a half ago, Bernier went to the front line himself in Afghanistan. Gov. John Lynch released a statement after Bernier’s death was announced. “We, and all of New Hampshire, are saddened by the loss of Spc. Nicholas Bernier,” Lynch said. “His sacrifice, and the sacrifice of his family, was his service to all of us. Spc. Bernier gave his life serving our nation and protecting the freedoms we hold dear. He was a hero, and we are all grateful for his service.” Bernier’s awards and decorations include the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, the Army Achievement medal and others. He is survived by his parents, two brothers and a sister. —Courtesy of WMUR

Man held on high bail after police chase DERRY — A man who police said led them on two chases in stolen vehicles after an armed home invasion was ordered held on $250,000 bail Thursday. Jacob Palo, 34, of Lowell, Mass., was charged with burglary, theft of a motor vehicle and three other charges after his arrest Thursday morning. Police said Palo fled from a reported home invasion in Deerfield in a stolen Cadillac. Palo was believed to be armed with a handgun. Raymond police said they spotted the car and tried to disable it with spike strips. “We flooded the area with various units from Raymond, Candia, Exeter and state police, and he was spiked by a Raymond unit coming down Route 27 into the town of Raymond,” said Cpl. Carey Pomeroy.

“He wound up abandoning his car on the four-lane section of Route 27.” Police said Palo ran into the woods, and a SWAT team was called. A Code Red was also issued, which advises residents by phone to stay inside and lock their vehicles. “I go outside, walk to the bottom of the road, smoking a cigarette, and a cop hops in his car and drives right up,” said resident Tom Wallace. “He shines a flashlight on me and tells me to get back in the house and lock the door.” Police said they were about to sweep the woods when they got word that a second vehicle had been stolen. Officials said Palo ran a roadblock, struck a police cruiser and ran over a second set of spike strips. —Courtesy of WMUR

Mayor’s Report June 30, 2011 By Paul Grenier With the arrival of summer comes a bit of a relaxed atmosphere for the city council. We will be meeting the first and third Mondays of every month until September. A policy that was promoted during Leo Ouellet’s tenure as mayor, I felt that the city council has earned a couple of months of a reduced commitment. Now that our municipal budget has passed, I want to thank the efforts of all of the council members. We were able to reduce your property taxes a bit and not lay anyone off who is currently employed full time by the city. Early in the budget process, I confided with both Councillors Mike Rozek and Lucy Remillard of my intention to try to reduce the tax burden in the city. They supported my initial goal and I want to take a moment to publicly say “Thank You”! Under normal circumstances, I probably would not have supported a small tax decrease given the infrastructure needs of the city, but with 9 percent unemployment in Berlin and businesses struggling, I felt it was the appropriate course of action to take. When economic times are difficult, even the best of the best are affected. Isaacson Structural Steel, one of Berlin’s largest employers and taxpayers, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization. ISSI as a company has an impeccable reputation in the building steel industry for delivering product on or before time with an untarnished reputation for quality. We are all very fortunate that ISSI is here in Berlin. Some of their recent projects include work at Fenway Park in Boston, the Children’s Hospital New Research Building, Yawkey Center for Cancer Research at Dana-Farber. They currently are the exclusive provider for structural steel for the new Liberty Mutual building in Boston. ISSI will also be the provider of structural steel for the Berlin Station (Laidlaw) project. That is why it is so critical this get moving ASAP! As your mayor, I’m 110 percent behind Isaacson in their efforts, and anything that Berlin can do as a government will be done. I share Steve Griffin’s optimism that this episode is just a mere bump in a very rough business road. Number 9 Paper Machine started up last week after being down for almost eight months. The view of steam rising to the sky from the paper mill rooftop was a feeling of satisfaction that the team performed brilliantly. By the end of July, it is hoped that two flat paper machines will be online, virtually bridging back all of the laid offworkers. Again, to Willis and Lynn, thank you very much, and to the mill workers, you have the opportunity to stick in the eyes of all of the non-believers! There is some activity in Washington regarding funding to open the Bureau Of Prisons facility in Berlin. US Senator Jeanne Shaheen, one of the biggest advocates for Berlin in her entire career in public service, seems to making some inroads for funding. A few days ago, US Senator Kelly Ayotte also began beating the drum. Opening this facility will require the efforts of the entire NH congressional delegation, and the see REPORT page 5

Ithaca Bound

At The Big Moose Inn

I am sitting on a cream-colored wicker rocking chair on the porch of the Big Moose Inn, not far from the entrance to Baxter State Park, in Maine. It is Friday morning, and it will be several hours before the Moose Photography Workshop for which I have signed up will begin. In the meantime, it is the Inn itself that holds my attention. The Inn, I am told, is 176 years old. The oldest part, the part in which I am staying, does indeed have something of a turn-of-the-last-century look and feel about it. The room assigned to me is quite small. A bed, done up to look like a poster bed, with half a dozen period-looking pillows on top of the two modern ones on which I will sleep, and which take up about a third of the bed’s area, dominates one half of it. The night stand is an old sewing machine table, the places where the machine was screwed down to it still clearly visible. In the corner between it and the small wooden dresser on the opposite side of the room is a ladder-back chair. On the wall by the door are two hooks on which to hang coats or jackets. The door is locked only by a slide bolt on the inside. Otherwise, the room remains open. Valuables may be left in the care of the front desk, if desired Three bathrooms, with sliding glass door showers, are on the floor I am on. These are shared by all. To reach the eight rooms that are on this floor, the second, one climbs stairs that are narrow and rather steep. According to the Inn’s website, these eight rooms were once used by river drivers, who were the Inn’s original occupants. There are no in-room telephones or television sets. The newer part of the Inn houses four suites, each with its own bath and queen-sized beds. The Inn also offers guests cabins or campground. Period furniture is everywhere. On the screened-in porch where I am sitting, rocking chairs line both sides. Some, such as the one in which I sit, are made of

wicker. Others are made of wood and are straight-backed, some tall, some short, all painted green. A couple of settees also offer guests a chance to sit and read or talk. Leaning next to the front door is an old wooden clothes wringer, and on either side of the door is a large wooden tub that was the washing machine of its day. Now, the tubs hold potted plants, as do the treadle sewing machine tables that add to the nostalgic atmosphere of the place. Outside the entrance to the Big Moose Inn’s dining room is a Berkshire of Boston upright piano, soon to be tuned I am told, as, during July and August, the Inn does boast live entertainment. On the piano at the moment sits the “Reader’s Digest Children’s Songbook” opened to the song “The Little White Duck.” Next to the piano is a table with several children’s books on it, one of which is Jane Yolen’s “Owl Moon.” Sitting on the porch on this cool Friday morning, I am caught up in the sense of being in a different time and place, and a smile crosses my face. Just then, a rider in a black and gold jacket and an all-black helmet rides by, the noise of his motorcycle shattering the serenity of the moment, and the illusion is gone. I close my notebook and walk back into the Inn. Over the stone fireplace that adds yet more atmosphere to the place is the head of a bull moose that once roamed the woods of this part of Northern Maine. I am pulled back to reality. That is, after all, why I have come here – to be part of a photography workshop specifically dedicated to finding and taking pictures of the great beasts in their natural habitat. As soon as all the others get here, we will set out to do just that. But, just in case the moose decide to stay hidden in the woods, I take a picture of the one here in the room staring back at me.

effort will need to be bi-partisan. Washington could sure use a lesson from Berlin’s City Council and the Coos County Commissioners on how to place the good of the people over personal political ambition. Lastly, I was on vacation and could not attend Laura Viger’s retirement party. I have had the extreme pleasure of working with Laura on city issues for over 20 years. I have yet to meet anyone in the public sector who was as selflessly dedicated to kids, the elderly, and most importantly, community pride. Laura Viger served the city of Berlin with class and a dignity

that is virtually irreplaceable. She shall sorely be missed, especially by me. She took on the task of redeveloping our athletic fields a few years ago in the midst of many of us who had multiple opinions on how it all should be done. Undaunted, the job was flawlessly executed and we have the beautiful athletic fields here in Berlin because of Laura’s guiding hand. Laura knew how to make all of us “turf experts” happy in the process, which to this day I still can’t figure. Here is to a retired life that is just as prosperous and meaningful as the efforts that you gave to Berlin in the decades of your service. God Bless You.

To the Editor: I, as well as other legislators, have received several phone calls, emails, and correspondence from local and state employees regarding clarification on changes to the retirement system. I will outline below what the impact is regarding the passage of SB 3. The legislation takes affect July 1, 2011. This legislation contains a number of reforms that affects employees differently depending on the number of years that they have been working in a public sector position. Provisions that apply to all employees: Employee contribution increases: Group I (Teachers and State and Local Employees) from 5% of salary to 7%. Group II (Firefighters) from 9.3% to 11.8% / (Police) from 9.3% to 11.5%. Provisions which apply to vested employees ( minimum of 10 years employment ): The only change to compensation included in the calculation of pension benefit is a limit on the amount of extra and special duty pay. The calculation continues to be averaged over the highest 3 years of compensation. Provisions that apply to non-vested employees ( less than 10 years in the system ): Some types of compensation are no longer included in the pension calculation. Calculation is averaged over the highest 5 years of compensation. Maximum benefit limited to 85% of the average compensation or $120,000, whichever is less.

SHOOTING from page one

Badillo was charged with armed robbery but found not competent to stand trial so the charges were dismissed. Ford pleaded guilty to burglary and is serving three to six years in NH State Prison. According to the incident summary in the AG’s report, after the three men pushed their way into the Burrill/Burns apartment, Badillo and Stringfield, both toting guns, separated Burrill and Burns from each other and assaulted each. Burns was pistol whipped by Stringfield and the intruder threatened her by placing his gun in her mouth while demanding cash. Burrill was able to retrieve his .40 caliber handgun from a closet under the guise of retrieving electronics and cash and fired on Badillo after a struggle, striking him in the head. Burrill then shot at Stringfield as the invader was running into the kitchen. “I had no idea what he was

going to do next,” Burrill explained. Everything happened so fast, he said, that he doesn’t remember seeing much of Ford at all and Burrill said he was a little surprised to learn that Ford may have been the one to deliver the additional gun shots to Badillo. While the report does provide some closure for Burrill, he said he feels there is unfinished business. Since the charges were dropped against Badillo earlier this year and he was subsequently found not to be a danger to the public, Badillo was arrested in May for another home invasion in Berlin where he is accused of seriously assaulting a woman, causing facial fractures. “He’s obviously a threat to the public,” Burrill said. A probable cause hearing on the felony second degree assault and burglary charges against Badillo for his most recent infraction has been continued while another competency evaluation is conducted.

BERLIN — Berlin BetterBuildings has announced it will help finance a comprehensive energy analysis of nearly 100 units operated by the Berlin Housing Authority, marking the largest commercial project for the new organization. BetterBuildings qualified energy professionals will examine the public housing units for heating problems, drafts, poor ventilation, and other issues related to energy efficiency. “The BetterBuildings program will help provide a vital road map that will assist in planning future projects,” said Mary-Jo Landry, Executive Director of the Berlin Housing Authority. “This energy audit is a critical part of creating an energy approach that will reduce our usage

They will examine 55 units at Berlin Housing Authority and 42 units at St. Regis House. Once the audits are completed, they’ll determine what upgrades will be necessary. Work could range from simple caulking and insulation to installation of high-efficiency building systems. “Our goal is to work with homeowners and businesses alike to improve the comfort and efficiency of their buildings and to do it in a way that’s going to make financial sense,”

downtown is defined as the area from Glen Avenue Park north to St. Anne Church including both Main and Pleasant Streets. The team asked the gathering a series of questions about what a successful downtown looks like, what services are needed in Berlin, and what they like about the downtown. Many noted the downtown’s beautiful natural features such as Mount Forist and the Androsoggin and Dead Rivers. The existing stores and restaurants were cited. Several speakers mentioned the historic buildings in the downtown including city hall and the library. The downtown was described as pedestrian friendly and fairly accessible to bikers. People wanted to see more stores with a number pointing out that while there are several stores that sell women’s clothing, there is no place in the downtown to buy men’s apparel. There were suggestions for shops specializing in locally made crafts and many spoke of the need for a bakery/ coffee shop. The list of things people would like to see also included a youth center, bike racks, kiddies swimming pool, information center, health club,

public rest rooms, a small convenience store, an open air market, street entertainment, more downtown events, an indoor flea market, better signage to the downtown, incubator space, and a nightclub. Tondreau Park and Peninsula were mentioned as both assets and underutilized features of the downtown. There were suggestions to fix up the parking lot to encourage people to park there to free up parking in the downtown. Several people also noted the park gets little use despite offering some magnificent views of the river and the surrounding mountains. Participants suggested the city needs to work on Berlin’s reputation as a smelly mill town. Since the closing of the pulp mill, the city’s air quality is now high. Combating the old image, it was noted, will require a team approach to change views both within and outside the city. A second listening session, geared more for business owners, will be scheduled in August. In July, Arnett will spend two days meeting individually with business people and property owners. To schedule a meeting, merchants should call the city planner’s office at 752-8587.

BG Allstars pummel Great North Woods 20-0 BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLINâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Berlin/Gorham Allstars scored 13 runs in the first inning and pitchers Justin Vien and Andrew Coulombe combined to pitch a no-hitter, leading the Allstars to a 20-0 victory over Great North Woods of Lancaster in Berlin Saturday. The win advanced the locals into the district three finals on Sunday. The game appeared to be the makings of a tough match-up, with Lancaster coming into the contest with dominating victories. However, the BG offense rolled

touching home plate thirteen times in the first inning. Coulombe got things started with a solo blast for the 1-0 lead. Other key contributors were a 2-run single by Evan Arsenault, Cam Cochoran an RBI single and RBI double, and Isaac Baldarama two RBI singles. Still back pedalling from the big first inning, Great North Woods did not muster any offense against the locals' pitchers Vien and Coulombe. The duo surrendered no runs on no hits, while striking out six and walking one in four innings of work. see ALLSTARS page 11

The 10 & Under Berlin Gorham All-Stars will begin its competition next Friday in Littleton. This years team consists of, front row Mike Moore, Brandon Weeks, Jarred Cushing, Keegan Law-as, Cameron Boucher and Trent Labrecque; second row, John Demers, Seth Baldarama, Matthew Demers, Austin Scarinza, Ricky Lambert and Josh Poulin.

trout fishery. The purchase is part of a larger plan to protect over 31,000 acres around the headwaters at a total cost of over $19 million. The partners include Plum Creek Timber Company, The Trust for Public Lands, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The five phase project calls for 8,000 acres to be transferred from Plum Creek ownership to the refuge and N.H. Fish and Game. But Plum Creek will retain ownership of 23,000 acres with a conservation easement that will ensure the land remains in sustainable timber production with traditional recreational uses protected. “On its own, this property is an ecological treasure and offers wonderful public access to the woods and waters of the Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge,” said Rodger Krussman, TPL New Hampshire state director. “But we hope this is the first of many important conservation successes to protect tens of thousands of acres at the headwaters of the Androscoggin River, including the conservation of working forests and recreational access for fishing, hiking, and snowmobiling.” The partners noted that the money to purchase the 2,920 acres did not come from tax payers dollars. The LWCF money comes from revenues generated by offshore drilling and gas leases and the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund derives its money from the sale of duck stamps. ALLSTARS from page 10

The Allstars plated five more runs in the second inning and two more in the third. Sammy Sjostrom clocked a two run dinger in the third to bring their run total to 20. Other offensive stars for the game included Vien with four walks, Arsenault 3-3, and Trevor Labrecque two hits. The Allstars advance to the tourney finals and have to be beaten twice by their opponent.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis And you’re right about that. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It truly is a lucky day. You can drop a fear and identify yourself as brave and strong. This is true even if you’ve been afraid and struggled with feelings of inferiority all of your life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have the kind of hands-on experience that can’t be bought; it must be earned. It happened because you learned the necessary steps and took them. Repeat the process with your new goal. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Even the most popular performers spend a very small percentage of their life onstage. But they are in the public eye from the moment they walk outside. You also have the public’s attention whenever you want it now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You made an agreement long ago and were gung-ho to do it. Now the excitement wanes, but your commitment stands fast. Your efforts to drum up more excitement will be laced with luck. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Make only empowering assumptions. For instance, assume someone likes you, and treat that person as though they already have a friendship with you -that friendship will develop quickly. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 1). You’re headed for the top. Once you get there, stay awhile. There are always taller peaks to climb, but unless you stop and enjoy your current elevation, life will be filled with struggle and strife. This month and September are best for career and finance. August brings a comfortable groove with loved ones. Pisces and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 32, 19, 26 and 42.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Sometimes it seems unfair that the other guy gets to pick the fruit from the tree you planted. Today fortune favors you, and you wonder how you got so lucky as to eat the fruit from a tree you didn’t plant. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You hate to ask people for anything you think you could provide for yourself. But get over it. Social scientists have proved that your helpers are more enamored of you than those you help. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Raise your expectations. If you accept your loved ones as they are, they will relax and become less than they could be. If you treat them as though they have already reached their potential, they just might do it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you’re going to make an assumption, let it be one that will enhance your life. It does you no good to assume that when bad things happen, it’s “just your luck.” Assume that fortune is smiling on you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have so many more freedoms than you ever had before. Your life is filled with creative tools and flexible arrangements. You can truly design your time the way you always wanted to. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You notice when someone needs your encouragement, and you readily give it. Your sign mate Mother Teresa said, “Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are hesitant to engage those who have obvious and multiple problems because you realize that becoming involved will reduce your resistance and you’ll somehow be sucked into finding a solution.

CONSTANT STATE OF FEAR AROUND MEN IS ABUSE VICTIM’S LEGACY

DEAR ABBY: I’m writing because I’m afraid I will never be able to have a normal, healthy relationship with a man. Until recently, I was the victim of a physically, verbally and sexually abusive father. Now I find myself unable to speak around even the most nonthreatening boy. At even the slightest hint of aggression or anger I flinch and run away. I’m afraid I will never escape the shadow of what he did to me. What should I do? -- SHY AND BATTERED IN NEW JERSEY DEAR SHY AND BATTERED: For you to move from victim to survivor will take professional help. Few people are able to completely overcome the abuse you have experienced on their own. A good first step would be to contact R.A.I.N.N., the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. Its website is www.rainn.org and its toll-free phone number is 800-656-4673. The counselors there can guide you in finding help to repair your life. Men like your father belong behind bars, where they can’t hurt helpless children. If he would sexually and physically abuse you, no child is safe around him. If there are minors still living with your parents, the police should be notified about what he did to you so they can be rescued. DEAR ABBY: I have been happily married for six years. My husband is kind, caring and honest. Our only problem involves jewelry. I’m not very good at wearing my wedding ring every day. I can be forgetful and clumsy, and I have misplaced it, almost dropped it down the drain, etc. I have tried wearing it around my neck, but it just gets in the way. My husband wears his ring every day and says he doesn’t mind if I don’t wear mine because he trusts me. My problem is other people. My co-workers are suspicious. My family thinks it’s “strange.” Men have hit on me, and when I politely

told them I’m married, they became angry and asked where my ring is. Abby, I don’t do or say anything to lead people on, and I often mention that I’m happily married. I’m becoming frustrated and have even considered getting a tattoo on my ring finger so that people know I’m married. My husband says not to let it bother me; that he doesn’t care about what others think. Any suggestions? -- NO RING ON IT, COLUMBIA, MO. DEAR NO RING ON IT: I do not recommend getting your finger tattooed to allay your co-workers’ suspicions or because some fool becomes angry that you don’t welcome his advances. My recommendation is to listen to the secure, mature man you married and stop worrying so much about what other people think. DEAR ABBY: My wife makes snarky comments to our extremely nice daughter-in-law. Our son finally had enough and has issued an ultimatum to his mother: Either change her ways or she won’t be able to see their child. Our first grandchild is due soon. Has our son gone too far? What can this grandpa-to-be do when Grandma-to-be claims she “doesn’t care,” even though I know she’s lying to herself? -- NOT FAIR TO ME IN SAN JOSE DEAR NOT FAIR TO YOU: Has your son said that YOU won’t be welcome to visit your grandchild? If not, I’m sure you will be welcome minus his mother. I respect your son for drawing the line and insisting his wife be treated with respect, which his mother hasn’t been doing. Because you can’t control her behavior or her mouth, invest in cartons of tissue because I predict she’ll be needing a lot of them when the baby arrives and she’s sitting by herself, persona non grata.

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

RMAA will be holding spay/neuter clinics July 12, 14, 20 23 and 28 at our new location at 290 W. Main Street, Conway. The July 23, clinic will also be offering the RMAA Cat Cab.

That prompted the Berlin coaching staff to have Sjostrom to steal second base, putting runners in scoring position. Vien helped his own cause by wrapping a single and plating both runners for a 2-0 lead. That was more than enough for the Berlin ace on the mound. Vien toiled for four innings allowing just one hit, walking one, and striking out nine. The locals picked up an insurance run in the bottom of the fourth inning. Cam Cochoran reached on an error, went to second base on a pass ball, and then stole third base. An errant throw from the Colebrook catcher got Cochoran home to make it 3-0. Labrecque went the final two innings setting down five Colebrook batters on strike outs and allowed but one walk. Colebrook 0 0 0 0 0 0 0-1-2 Ber/Gor 2 0 0 1 0 X 3-7-1 Pitching: BG- Vien, Labrecque (5), and Berwick, Colebrook- Haynes, Fogg (4), and Purrington, WP- Vien, LP- Haynes.
