Elderly man accused of sex crimes strikes deal BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

LANCASTER — An 82 year old Berlin man accused of sexually assaulting a child almost 30 years ago, reached a deal with prosecutors last week that resulted in him receiving no jail time in exchange for pleading guilty to lesser charges. Gerard Duchesne, 82, of Berlin, was placed on probation after he pleaded guilty to a felony count of conspiracy to commit second degree assault and a misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure in front of Judge Peter Bornstein in Coos Superior Court on Friday, July 22. He was sentenced to two to five years in prison, suspended for 10 years and two years of probation for the felony. Duchesne was given a consecutive 12 month sentence in the county jail, suspended for two years, for the misdemeanor charge. Duchesne had been indicted in

November on two charges that he sexually assaulted a 12-13 year old boy in Berlin sometime between Aug. 1, 1982 and April 31, 1983. He was accused of conspiring with William Ploof, who has also been indicted and is anticipated to be tried in the coming months, to ply the youth with alcohol before engaging in sexual acts both in front of the child and with him. The crime is alleged to have taken place at Duchesne’s Willow Street apartment. Duchesne is expected to be called as a witness at Ploof’s trial. As part of the plea, one charge of aggravated felonious sexual assault against Duchesne was dropped. The second charge of conspiracy to commit aggravated felonious sexual assault, was amended to become the conspiracy to commit second degree assault charge. Duchesne waived arraignment on that newly amended charge see DEAL page 6

Council scheduled to consider PILT for Berlin Station BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- The city council was scheduled to hold a special meeting last night to consider a long term payment-in-lieu -of-tax agreement with Berlin Station. The agreement calls for the city to receive an estimated $43.7 million over the 22-year life of the agreement. The calling of a special council meeting to consider the PILT is a clear sign that negotiations between

Cate Street Capital and the state’s wood-fired Independent Power Producers are proceeding toward an agreement between the parties. Negotiations between Cate Street Capital and the smaller biomass owners resumed over a week ago at the request of Gov. John Lynch. The negotiations had broken down after the parties failed to reach an agreement by a set deadline of June 30. The PILT covers tax years runsee CONSIDER page 9

Berlin’s new housing coordinator is on the job BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- The city’s new housing coordinator admits she has big shoes to fill but Linda White brings to the job an impressive background of her own. After seven years in the position, André Caron is stepping down. Caron was the first person to hold the position which was established in 2004 with a Rural Development grant to fight the city’s blighted and dilapidated housing. White, who lives in Colebrook, has worked in the hospitality industry, in health care, and in manufacturing. She also oversaw the renovation of a historic building into a luxury apartment complex. White grew up in the Boston area before moving to Lancaster as a high school student. She graduated from White Mountains Regional High School and attended Houghton College in New York and the University of N.H. where she received a bachelor’s degree in

behavioral science. After operating a catering service with her husband John White in Amherst, she moved to the North Country in 1988. The couple purchased and operated the Mohawk Cottages in Colebrook. Selling the business in 1995, White went to work as office manager and human resources director at Bonneville International. She coordinated all administrative duties for the 120-employee plant. White remained there until the plant closed in January 2001 and then took a position as director of human resources and community health at Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital. She said she ran 27 programs at the hospital and did grant writing. White said she left in 2005 to oversee the renovation of an historic apartment building the couple purchased in Colebrook. Working with contractors, she said they stripped the building and almost totally rebuilt it into four luxury see COORDINATOR page 6

Still leader of the band at 100

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

NEW ORLEANS (NY Times) — At midnight last Saturday, friends and well-wishers sang “Happy Birthday” to the trumpet player who led the band that night at the Palm Court Jazz Cafe. When they finished, the trumpet player turned to a few young women sitting behind him. “Have you ever kissed a 100-year-old man?” he asked. The next night, jazz royalty from around the city turned out for Lionel Ferbos’s birthday party, amazed that one of their colleagues could have made it a full century. The wide Ferbos brood of tan-skinned Creoles with thin faces, pointy noses and impossible grace dominated the room, but men in seersucker suits with white straw hats and other appropriate characters filled it out. It being New Orleans, there was also a sparkly gold top hat, a red feathered sash and copious fleurs-de-lis. Ferbos himself, with a brown suit, thick plastic glasses, deep jowls and bushy eyebrows, held court in the middle of the room, collecting birthday cards and hundred-dollar bills to pin to his chest in the New Orleans birthday tradition. After a little while, he took the stage the way he has done every Saturday night for two decades, crooning old standards in a smooth, muddy voice. “It’s the same music,” he said. “We’re playing the same numbers we were playing 80 years ago.”

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The Democratic Senate and Republican House put themselves on a legislative collision course Monday as they moved forward with significantly different plans on how to raise the debt limit and avert a possible federal default next week. House Republican leaders pushed for a vote last Wednesday on a two-step plan that would allow the federal debt limit to immediately be raised by about $1 trillion

and tie a second increase next year to the ability of a new joint Congressional committee to produce more deficit reduction. But top Senate Democrats called the proposal a “non-starter” and said they would advance their own plan to reduce the deficit by $2.7 trillion and raise the debt ceiling until after next year’s elections, saying it met the conditions that Republicans had laid down during the ongoing debt fight. “We’re about to go over a cliff here,” Sena-

NEW YORK (NY Times) — Hundreds of gay and lesbian couples, from retirees in Woodstock to college students in Manhattan, rushed to tiny town halls and big city clerks’ offices across New York to wed in the first hours of legal same-sex marriage on Sunday, turning a slumbering summer day into an emotional celebration. They arrived by subway cars and stretch limousines, with children and with grandparents, in matching sequined ties and pinstriped suits, to utter words that

tor Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat who serves as majority leader, said Monday afternoon as he outlined his proposal. He said that Republicans were essentially attempting to embarass President Obama in the middle of the 2012 election year by forcing another debt limit showdown and that Democrats would not go along with any plan that does not guarantee a debt limit increase through next year.

once seemed unimaginable: I do. Even those who had been together for decades, watching same-sex marriage become legal in surrounding states but suffer rejection in New York, said there was something unexpectedly moving and affirming about having their unions recognized by the state in which they live. “We feel a little more human today,” Ray Durand, 68, said moments after marrying his partner, Dale Shields, 79, whom he met 42 years ago by a jukebox in a West Village bar.

OSLO (NY Times) — The 32-year-old man accused of devastating twin attacks in Norway now maintains that two cells of extremists collaborated with him, court officials said here Monday as they ordered solitary confinement for the suspect. The police also significantly reduced the confirmed death toll in the Friday attacks to 76 instead of 93 — still one of the worst mass killings in postwar Europe. The defendant, Anders Behring Breivik, appeared at a closed arraignment hearing here as Norwegians paused in grief and self-examination for a minute’s silence to mourn the victims from the summer camp shooting rampage and bombing in downtown Oslo. Hundreds of ordinary Norwegians filled the narrow streets outside the Oslo courthouse, some shouting angrily at cars they thought might have been carrying Mr. Breivik into the back entrance for his appearance.

Maine Mystique

There’s something about Maine, a kind of mystique I think. While traveling elsewhere in the United States people ask me where I live. When I say “Maine,” I often hear, “Oh, I’ve always wanted to go there,” or “I was there once and I really want to go back.” It’s happened so often I’ve been thinking about why. Do people think differently about my state than others? I’m suspecting they do but I haven’t thought to ask them yet. Have they heard others talk about Maine? Have they seen pictures? Have they read Stephen King novels? Seen movies? I’ve decided to start asking. When meeting English-speaking people in other parts of the world they usually recognize me as an American and then ask where in the US I live. Most of the time, they never heard of Maine, so I explain that it’s north of Boston on the coast and bordering with Canada. “Ah,” they say, and leave it at that. Maine’s mystique, insofar as it exists, is mostly with other Americans I suspect. For the past several years I’ve been exploring Maine’s long coastline. Each summer my wife and I rent a cottage for a week on one peninsula, of which there are many on Maine’s coast. My wife likes the beach so I’ll spend a day sitting and walking on the sand with her, but then I’ll drop her off and drive up every road that doesn’t have a “No Trespassing” sign. In the off-season I’ll rent a motel room for a weekend and do the same. Either way, I always have my camera with me and I’m seldom disappointed with what there is before me to shoot. Last week we vacationed in New Harbor, which is actually a village and harbor in the municipality of Bristol. Pemaquid and Round Pond are also part of Bristol, and the latter is actually a harbor. On Pemaquid Point is the lighthouse represented on the Maine version of the new quarters. Browsing around the fishermen’s museum in the light-keeper’s house, I listened to a woman from Virginia talk to the old fisherman who was working there and answering questions. She thanked him for preserving the old tackle, the old newspaper articles about shipwrecks on Pemaquid’s rocky point, the old lobster traps, handlines, and so forth. I heard her tell him how much she liked visiting Maine and how wonderful it was. When she worked her way over to where I was standing I asked her what exactly she liked about Maine. She found it amazing that there were no security cameras in the museum and that she was allowed to pick things up and touch them.

“Did you notice the house where you can buy eggs on the honor system?” I asked. “You would have passed it down the road about a half a mile.” “I did,” she said. “You’d never see that where I live, which is in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley.” She said Maine was well preserved, that being here is like going back in time. She liked that there were few chain restaurants, few traffic lights, and that people kept their property up. She noticed how people looked her in the eye and talked to her easily. She was renting a place in Damariscotta and had toured the Boothbay Harbor region which I haven’t explored yet. “People take pride in their homes over there,” she said. “All the lawns were mowed and the flowers were so pretty.” I could see Boothbay looking south out the museum window, and as she talked I pictured some places around where I live in western Maine that were not well-kept at all. They were littered with old snowmobiles, abandoned cars, discarded furniture and assorted trash — all overgrown with weeds. It’s true, however, that most of Maine is fairly well-tended, but I haven’t traveled enough to know if others states are different in that way. Interesting rock formations below Bristol’s Lighthouse Park are typical of what can be found over all of Maine’s coast. Layers of sediment laid down hundreds of millions of years ago have been melted into wavy lines, interspersed with magma, pushed up into the perpendicular, and weathered by wave, wind and frost for God knows how long. According to one geologist, Maine has the most varied bedrock formations of any place on earth of similar size and it’s all on display where land meets water. Just above the normal high-tide mark, visitors used small stone fragments to construct their own delicately-balanced variations on Nature’s work, forming them into trees, dogs, and people. There they sit until the next big storm smashes them back into random jumbles of stone. I was careful not to brush against any as I walked among them taking pictures on a clear, sunny morning at low tide. It’s good to get fresh perspectives on familiar things, and seeing Maine through other eyes can be a nice way to do that. I shall continue to ask visitors why they come here and residents why they choose to live here. (Tom McLaughlin lives in Lovell, Maine.

In Possum Land Wednesday of this past week brought the hottest day I can ever remember in Jackson, a town that cool summers put on the map of the 19th century. I’ve had contrarian experiences like this before, though. There was, for instance, the time I decided to see what skiing was like in places that hardly ever have any snow at all. So I headed south and, suiting route to thought,

the road took me past the town of Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, the home of Slippery Rock State Teachers College, the mythic opponent of Notre Dame’s mighty football team, the perennial underdog whose place in our imagination can only be ensured by one hopeless loss after another. see POSSUM page 5

Now the rain poured down in torrents, and as the road led into West Virginia I came across the first possums I’d ever seen, a curious creature that apparently reached the end of its evolutionary road before first lessons in highway crossing were taught; the road is practically paved with them. This was on the way to the Snowshoe ski resort, where the snow depth establishes the extreme southern edge of the range for the Snowshoe rabbit. There aren’t very many people here, either, and the waitress at my first breakfast identified herself by the county where she grew up. I said I’d never heard anyone say that and she explained that the towns are so small that even some natives wouldn’t know where they are. Then, instead of telling me that there are more triple chairs in the ski area here than at the next place, she explained that Pocahontas County isn’t as poor as some are. In fact, the name was applied by accident, it was supposed to go to a different county. My first lift partner is also travelling incognito. Her hat is pulled down over a woolen balaclava helmet, then goggles, a scarf, and a high-collared insulated parka. A muffled voice explains that she’s from Wilmington, North Carolina, and yesterday she was on the beach at 75 degrees. I say that I didn’t know they had skiing there, “Oh yes,” comes the distant signal, “skiing is very big in North Carolina. All you have to do is find a place to ski.” My next lift partner teaches me that “edge” has three syllables here, then another lift partner trumps my very well-stocked passport to the world of skiing by describing the skiing in Andorra. Silver Creek is just down the road from Snowshoe and they’re serious about their skiing here, too. As I finish my first run I slide into line beside a father and his small son while they’re talking things over. The father says, “You skied that whole run with only one fall,” and gives him double high fives, “and that fall was a really good one, your legs went up in the air and snow blew around everywhere — you looked just like an Olympic skier!” Then the child and I start talking

about equipment. One of his buckles is broken and while we’re studying boots, he abruptly falls down. I pick him up by the collar of his jacket and set him back on his feet and he looks at his father, obviously worried, “Was that a fall?” “No,” says his father, “that doesn’t count. That’s what we call a lapse of concentration.” The Red Fox Inn is set in the upscale Whistlepunk section of Snowshoe, and it’s all alone. The restaurant and pub are antique English, there’s Mozart on the sound system, Queen Ann chairs covered in flame-stitch embroidery, and a menu that takes its place on the very short list of the best I’ve seen anywhere in the world. My American ski trip diet has rarely departed very far from a cheeseburger and a bowl of soup, but not here in the land of the possum. Many American restaurants struggle to imitate the cooking of every other part of the world, but one of the owners here decided to show what could be done in the home tradition. Thus there’s venison and wild boar, quail and pheasant, trout and catfish, and even Blueberry Grunt, the dessert that Thomas Jefferson chose to serve to the Marquis de LaFayette on his first visit to Monticello, and ambassadors and consuls still come all the way from Washington, D.C. By the end of my stay, I found myself reflecting on the present state of skiing in America. It wasn’t so long ago that we reached a rather advanced standing before venturing to another part of the country, but now jets and interstates have homogenized the sport to the point that a liftline in Vermont barely differs from one in Colorado or California. Not in Snowshoe, West Virginia. Nowhere else in my winter travels, for instance, has my hotel television featured a competition to decide the best recipe for pan-fried squirrel. Another day, a small lift partner regarded me closely, then asked, “Excuse me, mister, but can I ask where you learned to talk like that?” No gilded spa in my experience has details like these.

or more serious weapons are kept secured. Guidelines for instructor to student ratios would also have to be followed. Welch explained that the Outdoor Club as a whole —which last year averaged around 30 seventh and eighth grade students — would gain membership in 4H, not the students individually and insurance and resources would become available under that organization’s umbrella. The shooting range at Barry Conservation could be used for actual range time, while practice with precision air rifles could be done at the school in the winter months when outdoor options are fewer. While Welch pointed out that high schools in the Midwest have interscholastic shooting competitions through this national 4H program, he plans to focus mainly on marksmanship not competition. Berlin schools already offer archery in their physical education curriculum, and Welch pointed out that Gorham has just recently added Archery in the Schools program. A little further south, Welch said, in the Lakes Region, there are high schools that have added hunter education to their credit offerings. Because the Outdoor Club is a school sponsored extra-curricular activity, the normal eligibility requirements apply for students to take part — including academic achievement and behavior requirements.

program at the board’s Thursday evening meeting. Welch, who Superintendent Corinne Cascadden noted is an avid outdoorsman — he was tying flies in the fourth grade, she pointed out — is also a summer employee of the University of New Hampshire, working at Barry Conservation Camp. Welch told the board that 4H shooting sports is a national program, supported locally by UNH, and maintains strict safety and instructional guidelines. Pointing out that guns are prevalent in media including video games popular with children, Welch explained that his motive is to introduce safety and respect for guns while taking away the mystery. “I think we have a population here that could take true advantage of it. I think they would get a lot out of it,” Welch said, pointing out that while 4H is popular in western Coos, there are few opportunities in the greater Berlin area for this type of instruction. He added that there are certified 4H shooting instructors in various disciplines in Coos, including volunteers in Milan and Stark, as well as state coordinator Larry Barker, who lives in Lancaster. Welch himself is also an instructor. No student would use their own firearm, instead they would use the supplies provided through the 4H program, so the school would not be investing in weapons of any kind.

Most recently, White has worked in the hospitality industry for several resorts and inns including a stint as sales and event coordinator for the Balsams Grand Resort in Dixville Notch. White said she remembers traveling to Berlin as a teen to shop when the city was the place to go for retail. She said the downtown is still impressive with a lot of historic architecture. White notes she brings a fresh eye to the housing issues in Berlin. “I don’t have any preconceived ideas about the city and the neighborhoods,” she said.

ning from April 1, 2011 through June 15, 2033. It provides fixed payments of $34 million plus another estimated $9.7 million in revenues from the sale of Renewable Energy Credits generated by the 75-megawatt biomass plant. The fixed payments would commence this year with a $250,000 payment due in December. Berlin Station would pay a total of $500,000 annually in 2012, 2013, and 2014. The figure would increase to $625,000 in 2015, $875,000 in 2016, and $1 million in 2017. The payment continues to increase gradually until it reaches $2.9 million in 2032. In addition, starting in 2019, the PILT calls for the city to receive 15 percent of gross revenues per year from the sale of Renewable Energy Credits. That figure is capped at 100,000 RECs annually and is over the 400,000 RECs purchased by Public Service of N.H. as part of its long-term power agreement with Berlin Station. The PILT estimates those revenues to the city will total $9,746,700 over the life of the agreement. The PILT covers the 60-acre property and the biomass plant, including the boiler and turbine and any buildings associated with the facility. Any third party companies or businesses

that co-located on the property would not be covered by the agreement. The agreement is contingent on Berlin Station closing on its financing by Sept. 1, 2011 and the power purchase agreement with PSNH remaining in effect. Earlier this year, the Public Utilities Commission approved a 20-year purchase power agreement between Berlin Station and PSNH. The IPPs, however, appealed the decision to the state Supreme Court. Berlin Station and PSNH have been negotiating with the IPPs for several months on an agreement that would see the IPPs withdraw that appeal. The IPPs asked for short-term power agreements from PSNH because most no longer have power agreements and are struggling to survive selling their power on the open market. Last month, Berlin Station pronounced the project dead because the parties failed to reach an agreement by June 30. Both sides blamed the other for the break down of negotiations. The $274 million Berlin Station is expected to take 27 months to construct and generate over 300 construction jobs. Once it is operating, it will employ 40 people directly and generate hundreds of jobs in the forest products industry.

Keith Morin, Austin Demers, Moose Brook State Park / BJHS Staff Leslie Bennett, and Amelia Piet (l-r) take part in the recent aunch of trout raised as a seventh grade Berlin Junior High School project. The students of the seventh grade Cedar Team visited the Berlin Fish hatchery in January to adopt their 250 trout eggs and then nurtured them in a special tank at the school. The tank was contributed to the school by the Androscoggin Valley Fish and Game Association. At first the eggs survived on their own egg sacks and when the tiny fish began to swim to the surface, they were fed “fish food,” said BJHS science teacher Jamie Welch. The team managed to bring some 200 of the minuscule creatures to launch size and they watched anxiously as the one-inch-long fish began to swim in their new medium after being carefully poured with aquarium water into the Moose Brook State Park pond Friday morning.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be in the mood to do an inventory of your material possessions. The mood strikes because you’re getting ready to change things -- to let go of the old and acquire something new. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Many people never dream of far-off places, preferring to stick close to all that is known of the world. You are not like “many people.” No matter what you know of the world, you yearn to know more. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a talent for managing a large group. You might even be in charge of feeding a crowd in the near future, and you will alleviate future stress by getting a lot of the planning done now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Delving into the far reaches of your material possessions will reconnect you with your past. There’s so much memorabilia in your closet, garage or storage area that you could make a museum out of it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You strive to create an atmosphere of ease around you. You are very perceptive now, too, so you’ll notice when someone is uncomfortable, and you’ll try to help. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 26). Loved ones make you proud as they reflect your values and credit you for their victories. January starts a positive turn of events in your love life. You’ll be influenced and helped by a powerful man in November. You’ll find a clever way to rearrange your finances in 2012 and afford something you’ve wanted. Aries and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 2, 50, 21 and 15.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may have so much deskwork to do that exercising your body seems like something that could only happen in your fantasy life. And until you change your priorities, that may be the case. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The people in your environment now may not be related, but they sure act as though they are. They fight and boss each other around like siblings. You’ll play the parent. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Many people witness the same event, and each one will remember it differently. You are paying close attention to the nuances of human interaction, so your version will be the most accurate recollection. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sometimes you’re happier observing the goings on instead of participating in them. Both roles are necessary and useful, so go with what you feel. You have a right to interact in your preferred mode. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll encounter someone who wants to stand over your shoulder and comment on everything you do. If you can get past his or her annoying ways, you will find that this person actually has valid input. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have stories to tell about the memorable events of the past four months. And you’ll be around people who will benefit from hearing your retelling of recent history. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re a master at conflict resolution -- in theory. It’s easy to see what others need to do in order to get along. Apply the same objectivity to your own scene, and you’ll have the ticket to happiness.

UNHAPPY WOMAN PONDERS HOW TO SMILE FOR FACEBOOK FRIENDS

DEAR ABBY: I reluctantly signed onto Facebook at the urging of my siblings. The problem is, I am now receiving many replies from people I knew back in college and elsewhere saying how glad they are they have found me, how much they have missed me, and that they would like to catch up. It made me remember that I was very well-liked then, and how when I graduated from college with honors people said I had a bright future. But now I am nowhere near what I used to be when those people knew me. My life has not been very productive or happy since I moved from the East Coast to California. I am married to a wonderful man. We have no children, and I have had only sporadic employment over the past few years due to treatment for depression and alcoholism. I’m trying to get better, but it’s hard. Most of those who have written tell me about their children, grandchildren and the career progress they have made in their lives. I can’t tell them any of that about myself. Please don’t tell me to get counseling. I am. And don’t tell me to go to AA meetings. I do. And don’t tell me to take medication, because I’m doing that, too. Just tell me what do I write to all those old friends who seem to have achieved many of the conventional things in life that I haven’t. I don’t want to say nothing, and I don’t want to lie, but I also don’t want to tell them the depressing truth, either. -- UNSURE OUT WEST DEAR UNSURE: Crafting upbeat prose can be difficult when someone is as depressed as you appear to be. But you are getting the help you need and working to pull yourself out of it, and for that I applaud you.

Before composing your Facebook entry, take stock of the positive things you have going for you and make a list. You are married to a wonderful man, you haven’t had to work over the past few years, but it hasn’t caused serious economic hardship -- although you wouldn’t mind re-entering the workforce at some point. If you volunteer in the community, have read an amusing or uplifting poem, mention that, too. In other words, “spin.” That’s what everyone else on social media does, so don’t feel guilty about it. DEAR ABBY: I have been dating my boyfriend, “Mark,” for five years and we have talked about marriage, though we are not officially engaged. For sentimental and financial reasons, I would like to wear my deceased grandmother’s engagement ring. I worry that it may appear presumptuous if I were to ask my father for the ring, especially because I’m technically not engaged yet. I have considered asking my sister if she would suggest the idea to Dad, but I’m not sure about that either. I’m nervous that Mark might go ahead and buy me a ring in the meantime if Dad hasn’t already offered him the ring. Then I wouldn’t have the chance to honor my grandmother’s memory. How would you suggest I let my wishes be known? -- JITTERY FUTURE BRIDE IN BOSTON DEAR JITTERY: Let your wishes be known by telling your boyfriend, “Mark, it has always been my dream to wear my grandmother’s engagement ring.” That will let him know he won’t have to buy one for you. But do not approach your father asking for the ring until you ARE “technically” engaged.

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

CONCORD — Women who have learned the basics of fly-fishing and are looking to build their skills have an exciting chance to learn more about this time-honored sport at a Becoming an OutdoorsWoman (BOW) intermediate fly-fishing weekend workshop on September 23-25, at The Sportsman’s Lodge in Stewartstown, N.H.

Thomas Wagner, forest supervisor for the White Mountain National Forest, said he’s really looking forward to the festival. “I’m excited to celebrate and share the centennial of this important piece of history, the Weeks Act, with our partners and the public,” Wagner stated. “We invite everybody to come out and enjoy the festivities.” The Main Pavilion will have music, storytelling, and historical interpretations. The Forest and Family Experience Pavilion will provide activities for all ages, including a fun and challenging obstacle course for the kids. The Woodlands Pavilion gives you the opportunity to watch some exceptional wood working demonstrations, and you’ll get the chance to learn how to build a bird house from a woodworking expert!
