BERLIN -- N.H. Correctional Commissioner William Wrenn said there are five finalists for the position of warden at the Northern N.H. Correctional Facility. Warden Larry Blaisdell retired at the end of May and Christopher Kench, director of security and training with the department, is serving as interim warden. Wrenn said the five finalists were selected from 21 applicants for the position. He said the candidates will be interviewed on August 25 by a board that includes

two members of the Northern Correctional Facility’s Citizen Advisory Board. Wrenn said he hopes to have a recommendation to make to Governor Lynch by the end of September. The Executive Council must approve any appointment by Lynch. Chief of Security Major Dennis Cox at the Berlin facility also retired at the end of May. Capt. Scott Lambertson is now Chief of Security.

Citizen Advisory Board looking for members BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- The Northern N.H. Correctional Facility is looking for citizens interested in serving on the Citizens Advisory Committee. The 10-member body provides input and guidance in the development and implementation of strategic planning and policy and procedure directives governing

the operation of the facility. The committee meets quarterly at the prison. In addition, all citizen advisory groups come together at least once a year to address matters of common interest and departmentwide significance. Concerned citizens who have an interest in the operation of the department and bring a diversity see MEMBERS page 7

Corrections Officer Howard Kelley of Berlin was honored yesterday with the N.H. Corrections Department’s Honorable Service Medal by Commissioner William Wrenn. On Dec. 30, Kelley was home when his neighbor’s six year old daughter came to him for help, reporting that her mother had fallen in the driveway. Kelley and another neighbor called 911 and brought the woman inside where Kelley administered first aid until the Berlin EMTs arrived. The woman survived. The honorable service medal is awarded to an employee of the department for a highly creditable accomplishment that brings acclaim to oneself, the department, or profession as a result of devotion to duty or service to the public.

Gorham EMS to raise rates, contract billing BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM — The rates for a ride in a Gorham ambulance will be going up for some. Gorham EMS Director Chad Miller provided a quarterly report to the selectmen on Monday night and outlined some changes to billing rates as well as changes to the agency’s billing itself, both of which are anticipated to have a positive impact on revenues for the town service. Miller told the board that as of August 1, the medical billing for ambulance services will be outsourced to Comstar — a Massachusetts based claims, bill-

ing and collection company. He said that the change means that billing will be done twice weekly instead of monthly and will hopefully reduce the number of days the town has to wait to be paid. The current average for accounts receivable is greater than 90 days, he explained. Comstar would receive a seven percent commission on payments, Miller noted, but the town retains complete control of the process and write-offs. In conjunction to contracting out the service, Miller looked to the board for a consensus on raising the rates charged by the EMS for services to bring them more in line with the industry. He said Com-

star had suggested changing rates to the Medicare allowable payment plus 100 percent, but he felt a more comfortable number was Medicare plus 75 percent. As a point of clarification Miller explained under questioning from selectman Paul Robitaille that Medicare patients would be charged only the allowable reimbursement as required by law, with the difference in cost written off. Private pay patients and insurance companies would be billed at the higher rate, with one notable exception, Miller said. The law allows a municipality to charge its residents,

Bachmann: Migraines won’t stop her if elected president WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Representative Michele Bachmann suffers from migraine headaches so intense that she has sometimes sought emergency medical treatment, but the congresswoman said Tuesday that the condition would not preclude her from serving as president if elected. “Let me be abundantly clear — my ability to function effectively has never been impeded by migraines and will not affect my ability to serve as commander in chief,” Mrs. Bachmann, Republican of Minnesota, said in a statement. She described the headaches as “easily controlled with medication.” Mrs. Bachmann, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination and was campaigning Tuesday in South Carolina, was responding to a report in The Daily Caller, which published an article about the migraines on its Web site Monday night. It cited unnamed advisers, including one who said the congresswoman “carries and takes all sorts of pills” for migraines that at times rendered her “incapacitated” — an assertion her campaign and family strongly disputed.

British leader defends his actions in hacking case

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

LONDON (NY Times) — Prime Minister David Cameron went before a loud and rowdy session of Parliament on Wednesday to offer a spirited defense of his record in Britain’s phone hacking scandal. For the first time, he seemed to distance himself from a former tabloid editor he had hired to work in 10 Downing Street.

Mr. Cameron’s appearance before a special sitting of the House of Commons offered one more remarkable moment of passion and spectacle, following the appearance Tuesday of Rupert Murdoch, one of the world’s most powerful media moguls, and his son James, who were both questioned by British legislators for nearly three hours.

The Murdochs’ appearance — made yet more dramatic by a protester’s attack on Rupert Murdoch with a plate of shaving cream — did not seem on Wednesday to have come close to answering many of the questions the father and son faced about phone hacking in the British outpost of their media empire in 2002.

Talks pick up on broad budget agreement WASHINGTON (NY Times) — President Obama and Congressional leaders, spurred by a positive response to a new Senate deficit-cutting plan, sought on Wednesday to resurrect a broad budget agreement as House members condemned a fall-back proposal taking shape in the Senate. Officials in both parties said discussions had accelerated about a compromise tied to a debt limit increase that would cut spending, reshape entitlement programs like Medicare and call for a future tax overhaul — a package that would slice trillions of dollars from projected deficits over the next decade. The talks picked up after a bipartisan group of senators unveiled their deficit plan on

Tuesday, with House Republicans signaling that they might now be open to a deal that would raise more money for deficit reduction by closing tax loopholes and eliminating deductions while also reducing tax rates. Mr. Obama summoned Republican and Democratic leaders to separate White House sessions. And the White House spokesman, Jay Carney, said Mr. Obama would drop his opposition to signing a short-term increase in the federal debt ceiling, but only for an extension of days and only if the two sides were in agreement on the contours of a deal that raised the ceiling through 2012 and made long-term reductions in federal debt.

Minn. governor signs spending plan, ending shutdown

(NY Times) — After a legislative session that dragged on late into the night, Gov. Mark Dayton of Minnesota signed on Wednesday new spending plans for the state, ending the longest and broadest shutdown in state history. Since July 1, the state’s parks had been barricaded, highway rest stops blocked off, and the Capitol closed. Some 22,000 state workers had been sent home, the state lottery was suspended and licenses were unavailable (even those for fishing during Minnesota’s treasured warm season). Restarting the state’s operations now will be no small task, state officials said, calling for patience — more patience — from Minnesotans. Road construction projects, about 100 of which were halted, need to be cleaned up for work to begin again. State offices, including licensing services, are weeks behind on mail, applications and requests, and it may be weeks before things are back to normal.

Case against Ferguson moves to superior court BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

OSSIPEE — The case against the one of the three men arrested in connection with Krista Dittmeyer’s murder has moved into superior court, where serious crimes are tried. Trevor Ferguson, the 23-year-old Tamworth man the state alleges conspired with Anthony Papile and Michael Petelis to rob the 20-yearold Dittmeyer of drugs and money that ultimately led to her death, is the only one of the three to waive his right to a probable cause hearing in circuit court, and therefore is the only one to have his case sent to superior court thus far. While probable cause hearings for Papile and Petelis have been repeatedly delayed, Ferguson already has one superior court filing and a judge’s order in his case. Both are sealed, however. Sealed orders could indicate Ferguson will testify against the other two men, said former county attorney Robin Gordon, “but not necessarily.” The prosecution may seal everything connected to the case until all three suspects are brought to trial, she said. “They don’t want to tip their hand.” The Attorney General’s office has avoided tipping its hand ever since it took the case over from the Conway Police Department, closely guarding all information. The AG’s office has been unwilling to answer questions about why authorities searched one pond and not another, release the results of Dittmeyer’s autopsy or comment on almost any aspect of the case since Petelis, Papile and Ferguson were first arrested. The prosecutor in charge of the case, senior assistant attorney general Jane Young, has repeatedly refused to answer questions, including those posed Monday about Ferguson’s superior court case. She is precluded from talking about any individual case when the

three suspects are intertwined, she said in a phone interview. Ferguson is the obvious candidate for the prosecution to offer a deal, Gordon said: According to the prosecution’s version of events, he was the least implicated of the three. Ferguson allegedly gave Papile a ride from North Conway back to Ossipee, according to court documents, after Papile allegedly dumped Dittmeyer’s body in a pond at the base of Cranmore and left her car running nearby with her 14-monthold daughter in the back. In return for the ride, Ferguson allegedly got a small amount of drugs and money, Young said at his initial arraignment in district court back in May. Papile and Petelis, meanwhile, plotted out ahead of time how they were going to steal Dittmeyer’s drugs and money, according to court documents, and after Ferguson gave Papile a ride back to Petelis’ apartment, Papile and Petelis allegedly divided up what they had stolen. There is no indication in the court filings that Ferguson knew what Papile or Petelis were planning to do to Dittmeyer. Petelis and Ferguson are both charged with the same crime, however — conspiracy to commit robbery. Both are looking at 15 years in prison if convicted and are being held on $250,000 bail. Papile, meanwhile, is facing two counts of second-degree murder. He is not eligible for release on bail. Those charges could change, however, as the cases move to superior court. Ferguson’s conspiracy charge is still listed in his case file, but the charge has yet to be formally delivered by a grand jury. The grand jury has met twice since the three were arrested, but none of their names have been among the indictments released either time. The Attorney General’s office will have to present the cases to the grand jury to get indictments, and the AG has been very quiet about when it intends to do that. Its next opportunity will be Aug. 19.

Former Conway man pleads guilty to tax fraud BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONCORD — A California man admitted he repeatedly lied on his tax returns while living in Center Conway, cheating the government out of more than $100,000. Lawrence T. Smolinsky, 41, of Redding, Calif., pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to three counts of filing false tax returns, according to a statement from the Department of Justice’s New Hampshire office. He faces up to three years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

According to court documents, while Smolinsky was a Center Conway resident he filed false tax returns in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Each one claimed he made significantly less taxable income than he actually did. The resulting loss in tax revenue for the government was $124,864. In the most egregious case, in 2006, Smolinsky claimed he and his wife made $4,812, when in fact they made “at least $224,578,” according the charges. The U.S. Attorney agreed in the plea agreement to ask for no more than a two-year jail term. Smolinsky will be sentenced on Sept. 23.

Nobody hurt as plane crash lands at airport The plane wound up in a ditch on the side of the runway. (JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTO)

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

FRYEBURG — Local authorities blamed crosswinds for a plane crash at Eastern Slope Airport Wednesday, but the Federal Aviation Administration still has to weigh in. No one was injured in the accident. The accident wasn’t serious, but it still had to be reported to the FAA. Retired pharmacist Laurence Ketner, of 212 Country Club Road, Norway, Maine, was landing a single-engine Aviat Husky airplane around noon when a side wind picked up. “It blew him off course,” said Fryeburg Police Lt. Michael McAllister. “It made him corkscrew.” “He just went off the runway,” Frye-

burg fire chief Ozzie Sheaf said. “No one got hurt.” When the plane went down there was a minor fuel spill, McAllister said, a couple of quarts that were easily contained. Ketner is an experienced pilot, McAllister said, and the plane is his own. A call to Ketner’s home was not returned by press time. The plane is prop-driven two-seater built in 2010, according to FAA records. It sat in a ditch on the side of the runway Wednesday afternoon, waiting for federal investigators to check it out. Accidents at the airport are extremely rare, according to McAllister. “I’ve only ended up down there three or four times” in 24 years, he said. The last time was five or six years ago.

Once Upon A Berlin Time

Drum And Bugle Corps Hello fellow Berlinites. For several years, I have been asking questions and researching stories about the local drum and bugle corps that once marched in the parades and competitions throughout New England and Canada in the 50s and early 60s. I remember these groups and watched them perform to perfection during the late fifties and early sixties, during my early teenage years. I have received a couple of pictures from people, but have not got too much response about these fascinating local marching bands. All of the pictures that I do have came to me without names and I apologize for this. I suppose that I will get some response after I write these stories and hopefully someone can help me put names to the pictures, so that the historical society can have them. I am missing one picture and that is of the Berlin Crusaders, who were organized in the late 1950s. This picture would be helpful for my next story, if anybody has one. The first group of which I would like to speak is the famous Joliette Drum and Bugle Corps, who were known as the “Pride of Berlin”. The 1955 picture that I have was loaned to me by Norman “Duke” Duclos and taken during a competition at the Memorial Field in Berlin. This group was honored at the Notre Dame Arena in October of 1953. Recognition of their outstanding contributions to the community’s betterment and a history ensued.

St. Anne Musketeers

The drum and bugle corps of the Club de Raquetteurs Joliette was organized in 1936 under the supervision of Joseph Gagne. Mr. Gagne was appointed by members of the Joliette Club (founded in 1934), to recruit the required personnel to form a corps in order for them to compete with other snowshoe clubs in the American Snowshoe Union. During this same year of 1936, at the International Convention in Quebec City, although the unit was just starting, they were entered into competition and awarded the grand first prize. This was an unusual distinction, being the first corps to ever win top honors during their first time out. Throughout the years that followed, the corps was active in all International and American conventions, receiving many tro-

Joliette Drum and Bugle Corps

phies and top awards. With this, the popularity of the Joliettes soon became known far and wide. Dressed in bright red with black and white trimmings, the Joliette Drum and Bugle Corps joined in many celebrations that were held in this city, both civic and military. A few of these were GI Day, Memorial Day, Armed Forces Day, American Legion’s 40&8, plus many more. They were also there to welcome all of the winners and near winners in their respective sports. In other words, they supported all sports of all local high schools including Gorham and the memorable receptions for the great Berlin Maroons. Mr. Leo Morin, a former star athlete for Berlin High and a member of the corps since 1939 said, “They were always available for almost any affair that took place locally”. Here are some interesting facts about this historical drum and bugle corps from Berlin: The first drum major was Rene Tardiff (no relation). After Tardiff, it was Robert Gagnon who took over and remained in that position for many years. The first president was Joe Gagne, who was responsible for organizing the corps. By 1953, Gagne had retired from the Joliettes because of ill health. His position was taken over by Leo Morin. The Club de Raquetteurs Joliette committee for the drum corps in 1953 was as follows: Louis Delorge, Joseph Leroux and Louis Duclos. Here is a list of some of the early members who played for this corps, but I do not have all of them. They were: Robert Gagnon, Robert Garneau, Constant Blais, George Lemire, Gerard Lemire, Robert Vallee, Roger Girard, Richard Leroux, Denis DeChamplain, Wilfred Savoie, Bob Therriault, Arthur Pepin, Sam Garneau, Roger Barbin, Bob Neil, Bob Poretta, Romeo Therriault, Paul Goyette, Norman Ray, Norman Landers, George Palmer, Dominic Rano and George Valliere. Of these, I do not know how many still are with us, but they certainly have many relatives that still live in the area. Some records show the numerous places that the Joliettes carried their colors and marched through the streets representing the city of Berlin in fine fashion. By 1953, they had performed in Montreal, Ottawa and Sherbrooke in Canada. They also marched in Lewiston, Rumford and Biddeford, Maine. They also did gigs all over Southern New Hampshire and parts of Massachusetts. One appearance always meant another invitation for this popular local group. I am not quite sure when they or the other groups stopped see CORPS page 5

performing. Another favorite assemblage that was formed in later years was the St. Anne Musketeers. This group of youngsters was considered a junior corps and at one time was composed of 46 members. They had 24 buglers, 10 drummers, a drum major, a mascot and 10 members of the color group. This corps was organized in the fall of 1956, as a special unit of Boy Scout Troop 205. During their first season, appearing in the organization’s official uniform, they participated in nine parades locally, to include neighboring states and Canada. During their second year, this group developed their commercial name “Musketeers”, and their newly formed protective association of parents and friends were called the “Musketeer Patrons”. It was these patrons who raised all of the necessary funds and furnished the manual talent to outfit the Musketeers with original costumes fashioned after Dumas’ “Three Musketeers”. In 1958, the Musketeers took part in 21 parades, with most of them being out of town. During that summer, they received first prize in parade competition at Rochester during the VFW state convention; first place at the 40&8 convention and best dressed trophy award at the American Legion state encampment. The city of Quebec awarded them an honorable mention for their impressive part in the 40 band parade marking its 250th anniversary. Throughout the 1959 season, the Musketeers again scored well internationally, being the only foreign unit to appear at the festivities of the celebrations of La St. Jean Baptiste, with an invitation from the Canadian National Committee of La Societe St.

Jean Baptiste of Drummondville, Quebec. This corps even had their own vantruck, a well identified vehicle with the corps colors of blue, red and gold. This vehicle also served as a first-aid station on parade and was manned by qualified personnel. On the parade route, any other corps could avail itself to this van’s facilities. During the early days, it was operated by Mr. Henry Roberge, who was a member of the quartermaster staff. Quartermasters, instructors, drivers, officers and pastors were identified with their bright colored jackets adorned by the blue shield of “Les Mousquetairs”. The members of this group were all between the ages of 11 and 17 years of age. The drum instructor at the time was Mr. Maurice A. Belanger, with Henry Lacroix being the drill instructor and Reverend Charles Authier instructing the bugle section. The whole group was sponsored by St. Anne’s parish, with Reverend Rudolphe Drapeau being the pastor moderator. If anyone can put the names to these pictures, that would be great. Before discarding any trophies, some thought should be given to the Moffet House Museum, as they do such a great job with displaying and preserving local artifacts. Next week, I will write about the Sokokie Chiefs of Gorham and the Berlin Crusaders. I could use a picture of the Crusaders, if anyone might have one. Questions or comments email poof@ne.rr.com. Also, become a fan of “Once upon a Berlin Time” on Facebook and take a guess at the weekly mystery picture.

Wrenn said he is looking at out-sourcing to avoid laying off additional correctional officers. “These are things I have to do because I can’t make further cuts in security staff,” he said. Wrenn said he feels his department can avoid layoffs by out-sourcing and juggling the 55 current vacant positions. “We’re going to make it work. We have to make it work,” he said. But Wrenn said he did not know how

corrections would absorb an additional cut if contract talks with the state employees union fail. The state budget calls for Lynch to save $50 million in personnel costs and to come to an agreement with the union to implement the savings by Sept. 1. If the union and governor can not come to an agreement, Lynch must cut labor costs by Dec. 1. With negotiations making slow progress, Gov. Lynch last week directed state agency heads to prepare contingency plans. State agency have until Aug. 8 to submit plans Wrenn said without concessions, corrections is facing $2.3 million cuts in both its fiscal 2012 and 2013 budgets. He said that

would be on top of the $13 million cut it has already absorbed in those two budgets. The commissioner said if he is forced to make additional cuts there will be layoffs and he believes the safety of the system will be impacted. Wrenn said he felt the parole reform legislation enacted last year was starting to work. He said the inmate population in the system was down by approximately 300 inmates. But the program became controversial and the legislature this year made some changes that Wrenn said gutted the reforms. see WARDEN page 7

who offset the cost of the service through tax revenue, a different rate than their published service charges. Miller recommended adopting this lower rate structure for Gorham and possibly Randolph and Shelburne residents as well. He added that Comstar would also provide the agency with a formula to apply a sliding scale so those without means could be charged a fair rate commensurate with their ability to pay. Again, in that instance the difference between the standard rate and sliding fee could be written off. The proposed rate changes include a nearly $30 increase in non-emergency BLS (basic life support) service to $389; $88 increase in emergency BLS service to $623; no increase in non-emergency ALS (advanced life support) service of $620; $35 increase in emergency ALS service to $740; and $121 increase in level two ALS service to $1071. Also included in the new rate structure are additional fees for individual services provided in the ambulance not covered by Medicare, but paid by some insurances. Among those new fees is $1,266 for SCT (specialty care transport); $82 for oxygen; $150 for airways; $190 for IV therapy/drugs; $258 for cardiac monitoring; and $150 for defibrillation. Miller noted in his report that in the second quarter the service billed $174,458, but of that, $48,331 is loss due to contractual obligations including the Medicare/Medicaid payment caps and insurance payments lower than invoiced. That left $134,353 owed to the town, of which $77,777 was paid and $56,576 remains due.

No 9 restarting on Sunday BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM -- Gorham Paper and Tissue is restarting its No 9 towel machine this Sunday, July 24 at 5 p.m. Plant Manager Willis Blevins said he has orders to keep the machine running for at least several weeks. Gorham Paper and Tissue pur-

chased the mill this spring and reopened it last month after an 8-month shutdown. Mill and union officials reported it will take awhile for the mill to ramp up and regain orders. Blevins said just under 100 people will be working when No 9 is back up and running.

released with no supervision. He said they are not even required to report where they are living. He said some inmates refuse early release on parole because they don’t want the supervision. Wrenn said studies show the first eight to nine months are the most critical for repeat violations. The legislature changed the statute to allow the parole board to determine which violent and sexual offenders should be released early. Wrenn said he hopes the board follows the corrections department’s logic on the issue and sees the value of the period of supervision.

to the warden. Nominations will be forwarded to Commissioner William Wrenn for appointment by the Governor. For more information call 752-0301 or send a letter of interest to Northern NH Correctional Facility, 138 East Milan Road, Berlin, 03570.

The original legislature allowed nonviolent inmates who had served 120 percent of their minimum sentence to be released on parole. Now, if those inmates have a violent or sexual offense in their past, they must go before the state parole board. The program required mandatory release of violent and sexual offender nine months before their maximum release date under enhanced supervision. Wrenn explained that otherwise the offenders complete their sentences and are

of expertise and opinions are invited to send a letter of interest. Interested citizens will be given an opportunity to observe the next advisory committee meeting in October. If still interested, the next step is to forward a current resume and letter of interest

23rd Annual AVH Auxiliary Golf Tournament raises $50,000 GORHAM -- On June 3, the 23rd Annual AVH Auxiliary Golf Tournament was held at the Androscoggin Valley Country Club in Gorham. This year, the golf tournament committee raised funds to purchase a new QUINTON Q-Stress Cardiac Stress Testing System for the Cardiopulmonary Department. One hundred and forty golfers teed off on a cool but dry day! The format of the tournament was a four-person best ball scramble. Each golfer received a goodie bag filled with great goodies, a duffel bag with hospital logo, a team photo taken by Normand Labonville of NPD Photography, and a delicious BBQ lunch catered by Carl L’Heureux, AVH director of food services. The winning foursome of the tournament was Matt Keene, Mike Riccardi, Gary Roy and Joel Sanford with a net score of 55.91. Second place was Michael Boyson, David Gerasin, Lise King and Rick King with a net score of 56.77. Third place team was Pete Blanchette, Doug Lavigne, Jerry Nault and Karen Sullivan with a net score of 57.01. Fourth place team was Mike Cloutier, Jim Ferrante, Guy Poulin and Pete Morency with a net score of 58.40. Contest winners include Gary Davis who won men’s closest to the pin on hole #3; Adele Woods for winning women’s closest to the pin on hole #13; Brian Desilets and Roberta Remillard for winning longest drive on hole #1; and Ted Dorr for winning the chipping contest. They all received gift certificates to the Androscoggin Valley Country Club Pro Shop. The putting contest winner was Brian Poljacik who missed the 60’ putt by inches! Brian won a pair of Red Sox tickets for being the putting contest

winner. The tickets were generously donated by Gilcoine & Burke Insurance Agency. Sponsorship was by team, player or donation (without golfers).

The tournament also had many other sponsorships including team ($650), birdie ($650 to $999), par ($165 to $649), player ($165) and donation (up to $164) sponsors. Without all of the sponsors, this tournament could not have been such a huge success! To help raise additional funds, a tournament raffle was held. A Boston Red Sox Getaway with overnight stay at the Hotel Commonwealth in Boston was won by Dr. Rodger Wood. The tickets were generously donated by Rath, Young and Pignatelli, P.C. and the overnight stay was generously donated by Russ and Edwina Keene.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). All the things you (SET ITAL) should (END ITAL) do seem even more boring, tedious and ordinary than the things you (SET ITAL) have (END ITAL) to do. So you’ll likely rebel and do only what you really want to do. Let the chips fall where they may! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sometimes familiarity makes it harder for you to see someone how he or she really is. You compensate for this by actively looking for something positive about a loved one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll take an artistic approach to your daily business. For instance, you arrange your table like you’re going to paint a still-life picture of it. You’ll bask in appreciation tonight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s hard to say why exactly, but your selfimprovement efforts may annoy other people. You’re better off keeping it on the down low for now, except with your most supportive loved ones. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s a situation that is just getting old to you. You won’t have to make a move to change the game, though. This will happen naturally. The problem will simply disappear. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 21). A free and easygoing feeling permeates your personal atmosphere. Obstacles are lifted in August. November kicks off a series of accomplishments. Share your good fortune with others in September, and teach what you know, too. An investment pays off in May. Physical activities bring vitality and success. Capricorn and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 7, 28, 49 and 16.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may wake up in a lazy, unfocused mood, but you can prevent this from occurring two days in a row. Write a concrete plan for tomorrow, and you’ll wake up in the right frame of mind for major productivity. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Unchecked speech causes problems. Thoughtlessness is dangerous, and so is a distracted mind. Do what you have to do to get centered before you express yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you are truly a newcomer to a scene, you need things broken down to the most basic elements. Ask questions. Anyone who makes you feel silly for doing so is the wrong teacher for you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). As any good dancer knows, opposing sides can still cooperate with each other. When they do, the result can be more interesting than what comes from people cooperating with others who are already on the same side. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even when something is completely unfamiliar to you, you are still able to open your mind to the possibility that it exists somewhere in the universe. You’ll thrive creatively because this is how you are. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re interested in a bigger income because it will allow you more choices. Instead of desiring money, shift your focus. It will make you wealthier when you desire to provide a great value to others. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t have to make drastic changes to improve the quality of your life in a big way. You’ll de-clutter some small part of your world -- like a drawer or closet -- and it will be the gesture that brings good fortune to you.

DESSERT ADDS A SOUR ENDING TO DINNERS WITH GIRLFRIENDS

DEAR ABBY: When I go out to eat with my girlfriends, I usually enjoy myself until it comes time for dessert. Then I get grief if I don’t order any and they do. They’ll say, “Oh, you’re so tiny. You can eat it.” Conversely, if I do order something, they tell me, “Well, I’d love some but my metabolism isn’t as high as yours.” I have never made comments to them about calorie counting, needing to work out or concern about my weight. I feel fitness is a private matter, and I’m not comfortable with mine being the topic of discussion. Is there any way to respectfully and tactfully respond to their comments or redirect the conversation? -- TAKES THE CAKE IN FLAGSTAFF, ARIZ. DEAR TAKES THE CAKE: The way you said it in your letter is perfect: “I feel fitness is a private matter and I’m not comfortable with mine being the topic of discussion.” Either state it when they comment on what you have ordered, or say it privately to each of your friends when you’re away from a restaurant. If they are friends, they’ll respect your feelings. DEAR ABBY: Is it weird to not want to sleep in the same bed with my husband? We have an amazing, caring, fun relationship -- but when it comes to sleep, I need my space while he prefers to cuddle all night. I always end up trying to push him over to his side, or telling him to please move. I know he gets offended because he’s just trying to be close. Abby, when I’m in bed with him I hardly get any sleep! He’s always on my side and I can’t move. It bothers me so much I end up sleeping on the couch. Is this a bad sign for our marriage? Should I just stick it out for his sake? Our marriage is pretty close to perfect except for this one thing. -- NEEDS

MY SPACE IN WEST VALLEY, UTAH DEAR NEEDS YOUR SPACE: If you haven’t already done it, you and your husband should have a calm discussion about this when you’re both wide awake and rested. Sleep deprivation can cause any number of problems -- slow reaction time behind the wheel of a car, inefficiency at work, and serious health problems. If your marriage is amazing, caring, fun and sexually satisfying for both of you, then sleeping separately isn’t a “bad sign.” It’s the solution. DEAR ABBY: I am a 54-year-old woman who, after a long marriage and unavoidable divorce, is ready to date. I work out daily, am active in my church, take classes, and socialize with women and married couples. I’m in excellent shape and am told I’m attractive and fun. There are few available men my age (or a little younger or older) and almost all of them seem to be looking for women in their 40s, 30s or even 20s. Why are men my age so unwilling to date women their age? We’re past the drama years, are secure in who we are, and have a lot to offer. Am I destined to spend my life without romance? I’m an upbeat person but have lately started feeling angry at how I’m being marginalized. -- MISSING OUT IN WYOMING DEAR MISSING OUT: I can’t speak for “all” older men, but many of them in our youth-obsessed culture look for women considerably younger because it helps them fool themselves into thinking they are younger than their years. You are physically, socially and intellectually active, so stop allowing yourself to be marginalized and consider dating men who are younger. It worked for Demi Moore.
